I made it! My long awaited 100th post! Wow! It has only taken me about a year to achieve this novel feat. Sad to say I have only a few pictures to post today. I have a whole bunch of pictures I would like to post of our activities over the past couple of weeks but just a few days ago my macbook made a horrible sizzling sound and refused to turn on. I think the "brains" of the laptop are fried! =( It is currently at the apple store getting gutted by an apple genius--which means all of my pictures are not only inaccessible right now but are in jeopardy of being lost forever! boo! I had over 3000 pictures on that laptop just from the last year. I will be truly devastated if I lose them to computer heaven.
That being said, hopefully I will have my "lappy" (as I call it)--along with all of the pictures- back soon so I can do an even bigger and better post! The high hopes I had for my 100th post are dwindling fast...ha ha ha! Anyway, Austin and I have stayed very busy since we've been back and have done some very fun things lately.
We had dinner with a whole bunch of my friends from high school and their hubbies a few weeks ago! It was a blast seeing these cute ladies who were such a big part of my life during the fun, dramatic adventure we call high school. I hope to be close to them for a long, long time!
Me and Dolly--The birthday girls!
Austin and I went to the Winter Olympic Park so he could do some jumping on his skis before the ski season starts. It was my first time up there and I was in awe at how cool it was! The trees were changing colors and it was just gorgeous . It was awesome to see Austin do some jumps and tricks since I never get to see him do them on the slopes since I am not a skier!
Austin jumping! Bad picture, but you get the idea. I don't feign to be a good photographer!

I also went to lunch with some wonderful friends from Platinum on Saturday (how come both Missy and I had cameras and we didn't take a single picture?) It was an absolute riot! Tara & Missy, I hope to be in a "shouting match" (because we are so excited and hyper)with you two again very soon-- I loved seeing ALL of you! We all need to play again! I'm thinking girls night out or in for sure! =) (All of you who couldn't make it I promise we will do it again!)
Last weekend I also went up to Logan and saw my bestest friends' (Jill & Drew) new baby! He is BEAUTIFUL and perfect! Congratulations to them, they are already wonderful parents. I guess I have to have one soon so Cruz can have a friend, huh? J/K!
Anyway the whole point of this post was to get to the important part- "PAY IT FORWARD". My beautiful friend Annie did Pay It Forward on her blog and I was the lucky soul who was chosen to receive her wonderful package in the mail. It was fabulous--thank you so much! So in turn as the rules go (and because I TOTALLY want to) I am doing PAY IT FORWARD on my blog too! Let's make this interesting-- Leave a comment with something about you that I may not know (so I can get to know all of you gals better) and I will, or have Austin, randomly choose 3 LUCKY winners to receive a package in the mail from yours truly! Because I loved Annie's favorite things I am going to do "my favorite things" as my theme for the packages too! I am so excited to do this so I hope YOU are excited to participate!
So here are the rules:
1. You must have a blog to participate in Pay It Forward.
2. If you're chosen, you must Pay It Forward to 3 other people. It can be something you have made or bought.
3. Enter by making a comment about yourself. Something interesting.
4. I will choose the winners in the next few weeks depending on how many people leave comments!
Have fun everyone! muah!

Layla! I am now stalking you via your blog as well as facebook! :) I just found you under Michelle Hutchison's blog. How fun it is! I love the picture of everyone at lunch! Everyone has changed so much, but is so much the same still!! Anyway, I would just keep blabbing, and blabbing....
Oh, the interesting thing about me is that I love the way dirt smells, when I was little I used to eat it. If it was socially acceptable, I probably would still take a bite now and then. gross hu?
happy bloggiversary!! looks like you guys have been busy catching up with all the people you missed while you were gone!! how crazy that you know tyson and melanie!! we will definitely have to get together with them and go out!
Layla! Cute post!! Oh my, I would be super stressed if my laptop got fried. Aaaahh! You need to get an external hard drive. Costco has super good deals on them. If I were you, I would get a USB powered one! You won't regret it!! :) They are small enough to put in your laptop case! DO IT!!!
Okay and a random fact... hmm.. I can put my feet behind my head?? haha! Don't ask me to prove it... I might go into labor, or better yet.. pee all over. OOOhh! I have another one. I got into a car accident and got over 700 stitches in my face and still have a rock stuck in there that I sometimes accidentally bite on. OUCH!!
I'm very sure your favorite things will be fabulous things. (While being in New York all summer, I'm sure you've collected some great stuff). I'm not sure if I can beat Tara on this one, but here it goes: I am a human rubberband - I can do the splits right, left and middle!
i think this is a cute idea.... paying it forward is so fun... i'm not too interesting, but i guess one thing you probably don't know is that i can blow air out of my ears. i have holes in both of my eardrums and it makes so that i can actually blow bubbles through a straw into a drink of water with my ears. really weird, i know!
layla!! I love the part about the shouting match!! How come us girls always talk so LOUD!! lol
oh a random fact- I forgot! I was the only girl Jason ever told he loved!! And now Im his wife. Hmmm not to interesting but lucky me!!!
I know! I thought about you when I was up there. Yes, lunch would be fun. we should get a bunch of girls together for a luncheon.
Layla... CUTE POST & happy 1OOth post BIRTHDAY to your blog! ;) I'm sad I missed out on lunch but yes... We will have to do it again soon! Anyway we'll miss you tonight. Call me!!
P.S. Random fact... Umm... I HATE writing with black pen... Seriously it makes me cringe! (Ok that was weird but it was RANDOM so there you go! HaHa!)
Ok so I'm about a week behind on commenting (haven't really blogged a lot) anyway congrats on the 100th post! I felt like it took me forever to get to also!! A random fact about me hmm... I sing all the time at the top of my lungs haha I drive Mike crazy sometimes but I love it!!
Oh and for sure I want to do a party in the next 3 weeks(sorry short notice) but I thought maybe we could squeeze one in before the cruise so just let me know when you are available!! Let's for sure go to lunch again oddly enough I too had my camera and didn't take any pics. Weird!!
Layla.. I have been blog stalking you for weeks and you haven't changed anything. I miss seeing all the cute pictures of you and what you are doing. Come on I know you always have your camera in your purse. Get on it ok. Jk, I feel like I Havent talked to you for so long. How are you? I want to hang out, and I am serious. I am leaving for Vegas on Monday and will be gone for a week, but when I get back I want to hang out
