Tag You're It!

Another fun little survey after being tagged by Melissa...

FOUR PLACES I GO OVER AND OVER AGAIN:
1. Work- which really isn't all that fun, but working in Tooele now has made things at least a bit more interesting.
2. Target- Yes it's true, I am a Target fanatic. Something is seriously wrong if I haven't been there at least three times in one week!
3. Church- my ward is way too loud, there are way too many screaming children, I don't know anyone, and I don't care much for my calling, but it's church and I need to be there so I keep going!
4. California- I love everything about it and miss it everyday! Even traffic on the 91 freeway at 7 am can be fun! Where else can you see people reading the newspaper, putting on makeup, trimming nose hairs, and eating a bowl of cereal- all while sitting in traffic!!!

FOUR FAVORITE PLACES TO EAT:
1. In-N-Out- this might really fit into the prior post too! Who doesn't love this place!?
2. Cheescake Factory- Come on, the name says it all!
3. California Pizza Kitchen- Big fan of the California Club Pizza or pretty much anything that comes with avacados!
4. Miguel's Jr.- okay, so enough California places, but really I LOVE Miguel's! It's a Corona original and everytime I go home I have to eat there. Their tacos and burritos are to die for! Think great homemade taste of those scary taco stands, but without the scary lack of sanitation!

FOUR PLACES I'D RATHER BE:
1. Home, just chillin'
2. On a cruise anywhere!
3. Shopping (and like Melissa, have unlimited funds to do it with!)
4. California

FOUR TV SHOWS I WATCH ALL THE TIME:
1. The Office
2. Lost
3. Re-runs of Friends
4. Sex and the City (the edited ones on tv!)
Really, I could name like a hundred shows that I watch all the time! Oooh, and the new season of Project Runway starts tomorrow!!!!

I now tag Carina, Angela, Jayme, and Jessica!

Our dear friends and neighbors, Melissa and Steve, happen to come across an interesting website. Now being a social worker, this was the last thing that I should be interested in. In fact, I should be down right disgusted by such a thing, but who would have guessed that I would score so high! I actually couldn't stop laughing!

Happy Graduation, A Trip to Urgent Care, and A Near Miss!

Last weekend I flew out to Cali to watch my sister graduate from high school after four very long years. After a horrible attempt at finding somewhere to sit, we enjoyed watching Adrienne take her walk across the field wearing her shiny gold stoles. Adrienne was of course herself and was jumping around, being a big dork. Since she was Associate Student Body President, she had to give one of the speeches at the graduation. She did a great job and I was so proud of her. I must admit that there was a slight tear when I realized that my baby sister is growing up- or maybe I realized how old I'm getting!?

Since the graduation was on a Thursday, I got to hang with the family all weekend. Everything was great until we were getting ready to go to a movie Saturday and my eyes suddenly tweaked out and I knew what was coming...duhn...duhn...duhn... a dreaded migraine! I couldn't kick it and so my mom decided not to mess around and took me to urgent care. Oh, it was great fun. The doctor wanted to give me a shot, which seemed all well and good until I found out where it went...in my butt! Yeah, I don't think so. I took the alternative which was a nice little pill, I just had to wait a little longer for relief. The pain finally subsided and I was able to go to dinner with my parents (Adrienne was out with friends at a grad party) to my favorite little Mexican restaurant in Corona.

On Monday my plane left bright and early. My mom and I did are usual early morning stop at McD's for an egg McMuffin and hopped on the freeway. Not too far down the road we had quite the experience. We were driving along in the FastTrack lanes when out of nowhere a car coming spinning out into our lane of traffic. It was nuts! My mom swerved and missed the car by inches as it slammed into the median. We swerved for a while and my mom finally got a hold of the car. Thank goodness for traction control! When we finally got the car stopped we were both shaking. When we finally hit reality again I called 911 and my mom jumped out to go check on the other car. While on the phone I realized that there were two other cars involved and they were pretty smashed up and sitting on the opposite side of the freeway. An officer finally stopped and talked with my mom while I checked on the car. I was shocked. I couldn't find a single scratch or nick on the entire car. I know that we both thanked out Heavenly Father for watching out for us that morning. I finally made it to the airport with not much time to spare.

It was a good weekend, but much too exciting for me! I'm just happy that I got to share graduation with my sister and am excited for her to start on the road through college and all life had to offer! Congrats Adrienne and good luck in everything you do!

I'm Grateful For

This post is all Sam's fault! No really, I saw on her page that she posted a blog about five things that she was grateful for and I thought it was just super cute. The last two days have been a huge let down for me and I decided that I needed a little boost, so I decided to go ahead and copy her and post my own five things that I'm grateful for. I figured that when things just don't seem to be going right, looking at the things that are could help out with an attitude adjustment. So here it goes:

I'm grateful for...

Memorial Day!!!!

After a long couple of months with no three day weekends, Memorial Day comes along and saves us from our work rut and gives us a lovely three day weekend! Not to mention, the amazing sales that pop up at your favorite stores!

My Kids




They never fail to add a smile to my face and entertainment to my life. And they always know when you're upset and try to make you feel better.


My Mom

It's her birthday this weekend too! She's so good at rolling with the punches and just making things work out, even after they've gone to pot!


My sister for getting me a signed copy of The Host by Stephenie Meyer!



And naps...


I love naps!

The right man for the job...

I have never been an American Idol fan. In fact, I couldn't even tell you who has won over the years besides Kelly Clarkson. For some reason, I got into it this season. I mean, I wasn't like a crazy person about it, but if I was home and around then it would be on. I must admit that I even threw in a few votes here and there for my girl Brook.

Of course since I had been following it all season I for sure had to watch the last two nights! Can I just say that I loved it!? I really think that the right two people were left in the finals- Archuletta and Cook, and what total opposites for sure! Archuletta has the sweet melodic voice that makes you want to cuddle up to your sweetheart, and then Cook's got the rocker sound that makes you want to completely forget about your sweetheart and go groupie!

I know people will criticize me and say that I'm doing a disservice to my religion, the state I live in, or whatever, but I am a Cook fan through and through! And heck, I even tossed a vote in for him Tuesday night! I just really cannot get into Archuletta. Maybe it's the punk rocker at heart that lives in me that wants to see someone like Cook be considered an "American Idol" or maybe it's the fact that lusting over him isn't something that could possibly land you in jail, I don't know. But I must say that I'm so glad to see that he won and that we finally have someone different from the rest in years gone by. Way to go David Cook! And I can't wait till the album comes out!

I'm becoming a lazy blogger!

I was checking out everyone's blogs today and realized that it has been a while since I posted anything new. I racked my brain trying to figure out what I could possibly blog about and realized that there is nothing! So maybe it's not that I've become lazy, we've just been really boring lately! Or maybe since we finally tracked down a Wii, our lives only involve Wii sports, Mario Galaxy, Mario Party, and Mario Cart, which let's face it, is not all that interesting to most people. And on top of that I ended up with the stomach flu last week and have been out of commission for a few days because of it. I'm sure you're all interested in knowing how I survived my illness, but I'll spare you the gory details!

But, there is no need to worry! There are new stories to come soon! Wedding season has kicked into full force and we've already been to three since the end of March and have two more in the near future. In less then two weeks, Chad and I head to St. George for my cousin's wedding and then a week after that my dear little sis-in-law gets hitched! So till then, our lives will probably remain boring, but I promise more to come soon!

New Additions to the Family

Chad and I have been excited this week to celebrate two new additions to the ever growing Gailey clan. On the evening of April 29th we all gathered at the hospital to welcome little Brooklyn D., Kevin and Jackie's newest addition. She was born 5 pounds 13 ounces 19 inches long. She's a little tall and skinny thing for sure! She definitely belongs to Kevin and Jackie! She looks just like her sister, Wynter!



This morning as I dragged myself out of bed at around 6:30ish, I went downstairs to feed the cats and had a text message announcing the birth of yet another one! Justin Tyler was born early this morning, two weeks early. He was born 7 pounds 5 ounces. I hate to know what he would have been if Emily would have gone full term! Congrats to Emily and Tyler! They've been waiting for a boy for such a long time and we're so excited for them. We get to go and visit Justin after work later and we can't wait.

Taylee and Justin


April being a good big sister


Justin Tyler- he's so adorable!
