Captain Joseph Sparrow

For Joseph's work, every year they have a huge lunch/dinner for the employees. It is generally themed and this year they asked us all to dress up.  I told our babysitter, Lauren, that it was pirate themed and we had no clue as to what to wear because it's in September.  Well, it just so happened that she had a Captain Jack Sparrow wig/hat that he could borrow.  It was so awesome.

Look how hot he looks!!!

I think that one of my favorite parts of the whole thing was putting on his eye-liner.  It was hilarious!

Let's just say- his eyes are whimps. 

Honestly he just couldn't stop blinking and tearing.  Which, for someone who doesn't wear eye-liner is understandable, but it was still so funny!

Here we are!  I know I am not super pirate-y but like I said, we did the best we could!  Joseph actually won Second place in the costume contest!

Yep!  He's amazing!  

Things that excite me....

my dearest sister challenged me to find things that excite me, and things that i love that arent things, does that make sense?
books, books, and books.
i love to read. books make me happy- where they take me is priceless. if i didnt have my shoe obsession i would spend all my 'allowence' on books. and yet i am really particular about what books i read and buy. i dont want to read bad things. so as a general rule- if deseret book doesnt sell it then, well, i dont buy it. the one exception is Twilight, by stephanie myers. i am addicted. i cant wait for the movies and the last book. i love the different lives.
i always wonder how people are so creative and come up with these different worlds and all these lives. to put it beautifully on paper amazes me. i have great respect for writers, and especially for those who are good writers.
i guess that is one thing in my house that i love- albeit there are many. i love my books!

and on a side note- as i am sitting here, i can smell the roses that joseph gave me for valentines. beautiful pink roses, there are probably about 30 blooms, i love it!
thanks babe!
