11th day

today was a nice relaxing day...

it was Souper Saturday for our ward's Relief Society and so I made some fun magnets for the girls...but it was mainly just nice to talk to women face to face. The soup was good too.

Chay went riding today...again. :)

Chay Chay Chay...he is like a dream boy for most girls I'd say...not overly romantic or talkative but he's tough you know...and a little mysterious...and smiley. Great smile. He is a big strong hands type of guy. And those hands...are scarred from riding and fixing 4 wheelers and dirt bikes his whole life. If I wasn't married and I met Chay on a day like today- where he was wearing his fox riding shirt while loading up his motorcycle on to the trailer and he happened to flash a smile my way, I'd be after him in a second.

I remember my Family Counseling Teacher at school told the class once that women tend to marry men who resemble certain traits their father and big brothers have. Sometimes these traits women don't necessarily love or relate to, but it gives the woman a sense of protectiveness and a home bound feeling.

I wonder why I fell in love with Chay...


This is me and my big brother Bryon...

I do enjoy riding dirt bikes and 4 wheelers...I have to, it is a part of my blood. I really love seeing how excited Chay gets when he gets to go riding.

So on the 11th day of 30, after Chay got home from spending the afternoon with his second love, He made his first love (that would be me) wear an old tie as a blindfold.



We got in the car. He told me we were going somewhere special. I told him I have a really good sense of direction. He didn't believe me. When he finally stopped the car I said, "We aren't at McGrath's Fish House are we?" We were.

There is nothing meaningful about this restaurant...nor was it a big surprise...but now it means something to me- this random restaurant will always make me smile and giggle when I drive past it. Thanks Chay for making the night special...and thanks for telling the waitress it was my birthday...so I could wear the fish hat.









I'm not sure why we keep bringing the children to restaurants. We always promise ourselves never again...

and they still ate all my birthday ice cream.

That is sooo hilarious that you knew where you were! I would never have guessed that you had such great sense of direction judging by how you were driving in Post Falls last weekend! LOL

I love how you express your feelings about Chay. Such a pure love.

Cute! I love the fish hat. And you DO have a good sense of direction. I would not be able to tell Mcgrath's fishhouse blindfolded. (where is that anyway?) And I love the picture of the top of Julia's head. what are they doing?
