Auntie Bekah

Yea! I became an Aunt today at 2:45pm, MST. I'm so excited!

Welcome to my nephew,
Chase Nelson Wyatt!!!

Don't worry. More pictures will follow. This is just the beginning. =]

Reward: $2.00

Missing!
I have been looking for this taco bell packet for at least the past 6 months.
If you run across it, please save it for me.

It makes me happy.
It's the funniest one, in my book. And it is missing.

Bekah, Bekah, the Strawberry Picka

Tell me these aren't the most beautiful strawberries you've ever seen! My supervisor suggested an outing for me to take the kids on: Picking strawberries at a strawberry patch. There is a little strawberry patch north of San Diego where you can purchase either a quart sized container for $6 or a gallon sized container for $11. Then they tell you what area to stay in, and you head out with your little bucket and pick your own strawberries! There were rows and rows of strawberries, and you can dig your hands through the plants and look for the ripest strawberries. Yea! It was really great. If you ever have the chance to do something similar, I highly recommend it.

I've already made mine into a Strawberry Pie. Yum!

$47.95

That's how much I paid to fill up my gas tank this afternoon.

Ree-di-cu-lous.

When I was in high school, I swear it only cost me $16. Or something like that.

If everyone else feels like I do, the entire United States just groaned in agony, and are all seriously considering taking the bus to work on Monday.

My Navy-fied Dad

I know that I'm already updating my Dad's blog, but I had to post this picture on my blog as well. It's an awesome picture. He's in Mindanao, Philippines. They have been working with Operation Smile, treating children with cleft palates. In the three to four days that they have been doing the operations, they have treated over 300 children! They are working 24 hours a day to get as many operations done as possible.

In case you were wondering why he is so decoratively clad, he has to wear the long-sleeved Navy jumpsuit because it has been soaked in heavy duty bug repellent, so that he doesn't get eaten by giant Filipino bugs. They gave him the kevlar vest and helmet to wear when he goes ashore. Apparently, there has been some guerrilla fighting in the area prior to their arrival! My Dad says everything is all calm now, so I'm sure they are either a) making him wear the outfit just to see if he will actually do it, or b) are being super-protective of one of the only people that knows how to keep the hospital machines (that the Operation Smile people desperately need) up and running. Plus, who doesn't want a helmet that has their name taped on top of it? I'd buy one if I saw it in the grocery store!
