Just in case you were wondering...

I love my husband. I thought you'd want to know.

Birthdizzle

So... I'm 24 now. Weird, huh? But still rather exciting.

Valentine's Day was fun... Spencer bought me Gerber Daisies and Godiva chocolate (good husband award) and I made a three course French meal for him that turned out AWESOME, if I do say so myself. We celebrated on Friday because we wanted to have more time to spend with his family while they were in town over the weekend. It was nice to start off our wonderful weekend with some good food and an entertaining Opening Ceremonies for the Vancouver Olympics.

Kent and DeRue took us out for several wonderful meals, so we had good company and didn't have to splurge on groceries this week (huzzah!). They took me out birthday shopping and I got some awesome black boots and a cute new outfit for church/clinicals/work. Spencer earned MAJOR points by picking out the CUTEST outfit ever without my help. AND, my parents bought me a temple dress because I work there on Wednesday nights. The temple is awesome.... but I digress...

My birthday was Kent and DeRue's last day in town so we went out for a FANTASTIC lunch (and we got portions large enough to feed us for at least two meals... so once again, dinner was set). After they took off, Kirstin, James, Chase, Spencer and I went out to see Valentine's Day the movie. Chase is awesome and bought Spencer's and my tickets for my birthday present. The movie had some highly unsettling plot twists until the end... but luckily everything was resolved and it turned out quite cute. Plus, I love Jennifer Garner. And Julia Roberts.

THEN, we went back to K and James' and they watched the Bachelor. I'd never seen it. It was really fun to make fun of, but it made me want to barf and I have no desire to ever see it EVER again. I mean, come on! Since when is it okay to have MULTIPLE girlfriends at the same time? I'm really glad I'm married and never have to go through an awkward first date ever again, but THAT show is NOTHING like dating in real life. Not a fan.

But other than that, I had a really awesome birthday/Valentine's Day/President's Day weekend.

P.S... My house is spotless and it looks BOMB. Come over and play.

You smell that?... Yah... It smells like Grad School...

Because I have an interview for BYU's Communication Disorders Department NEXT THURSDAY!

Party on.

Worst Joke... EVER

This is a true story... one that I encountered personally, just yesterday afternoon.

I was in my ComD 421 class, AKA "Speech Science" and my teacher was talking about harmonics and formants and all that exciting stuff that only weird people in my major think is interesting. He showed us two spectrograms on the projector screen and the following happened:

Dr. Dromey: "This spectrogram on the top here depicts a healthy person pronouncing the vowel /a/. Now take a look at the spectrogram underneath it. This person had been sick and we had them repeat the same vowel sound with a hoarse voice. Now compare the normal /a/ and the hoarse /a/."

Pathetic student: (raises hand...) "Dr. Dromey? I was just curious... how did you manage to get the horse to talk?"

*Insert MOST AWKWARD SILENCE EVER here.*

Pathetic student: "Hardy har har!"

Dr. Dromey: "Wow. That was a joke."

*And then the other 149 students hung their heads in shame and shifted uncomfortably in their seats until Dr. Dromey covered up the awkwardness beautifully and proceeded with the lecture.*
