I just spent over an hour looking at people's blogs. I haven't had anything to do at work since about 2:00 today. I bet these people are real glad they hired me! :)

Congratulations Sadlers!
My cousin, Bethany, married Patrick Sadler in the Oakland Temple on Friday. We are so happy for them. The both looked so incredibly happy that day! It was a beautiful day and they had a beautiful reception. We were glad we were able to be a part of such a special day. 
We had fun spending time with the Lams. I think Nate had fun too, even though it looks like he's being tortured in this picture. 
Drive, Sleep, Wait, Drive, Sleep, Wait
This past weekend was a very exciting weekend for our family...PETE'S HOME! Doesn't he look great!? And he's not even that weird. I was really worried that he was going to be quite the weirdo, but surprisingly, he's still himself. :) I'm actually really proud of my brother. He got so smart...well he was already way smart before...but he's REALLY smart now! I'm amazed at how much he grew while he was gone. Go missions!
While we were waiting for Pete, we got bored and decided to document how I am the shortest sister in the family. I also have the biggest feet, I don't get it. 
After we picked Pete up, we went to the Cheesecake Factory where my uncle dared Seth to drink a bottle of ketchup for $60. Seth accepted the challenge and drank only a third of it. My uncle still paid him $20 for drinking a third. 
The title of this post refers to the obscene amount of driving and waiting we did. Everywhere we went we were with a whole lotta people and it took forever to make decisions and to get moving. Seth kept a log (he had some free time) of everything we did. The breakdown went like this:
Driving 45%
Sleeping %20
Waiting %13
Activities %10
Getting ready 12%

Egg Nog and Polyester Suits
I just love Christmas. I am getting really excited for this Christmas since Pete will be home.
Seth and I went to a Christmas party given by my one of my friends from work. We were supposed to wear our best Christmas get-up. I am so glad Seth invested in this green suit! He won the award for best get-up at the party (I'm not surprised). We had a great time at the party...Thanks Abbie!
Also here's a pic from going to see the lights at Temple Square. 
More Birthday
My birthday was like 10 days ago but here are pics of my office on my birthday. I also got one more box of Diet Pepsi from my sis-in-law Lara. That's 48 cans of Pepsi. Twice my age! :) I also forgot to mention that the night before my b-day I went out to dinner with my friends Jamie and Amber from high school and had so much fun.
Sunday was fun celebrating with my family. Ever since I was little it seems like I've always wanted white cake with chocolate frosting on my birthdays. It's not even my favorite dessert but I just always want it on my birthday, so this year I asked for it again and it was delicious!
Anita and Tom, here are the boots that I got with your money you sent for my birthday! Thanks, I love them!

Happy Birthday to Me!
I wasn't really looking forward to my birthday all that much this year. Birthdays just aren't that excited once you stop having parties with cake, ice cream, and mounds of presents. To my wonderful surprise however, this birthday was so great!!
The day started off with pancakes made by Chef Seth! Then, when I got to work my office door had streamers and signs that said, "Happy Birthday Heidi!" and office was decorated with streamers and signs as well! My friend at work, Amber, had gotten to work early to decorate and she also gave me really good hand soap from B&BW. THEN...a few minutes later a few people came and sang Happy Birthay. THEN...my other friend at work Ashley, brought me a 12-pack of Diet Pepsi, a bag of Tootsie Rolls (i love em), and a bag of those tasty Cadbury eggs that they make at Easter, but also make at Christmas now. THEN...my friend Abbie (who I also work with) brought me another 12-pack of Diet Pepsi, a bag of Smartie's (which I also love), and some way cute kitchen towels from Anthropologie(I had mentioned once when we were at Gateway how I loved Anthropologie's kitchen towels and she rememebered!) I know, I was really feeling loved and it was only 11:00! Throughout the day I received text messages and phone calls from family and friends wishing me a great day. My friends from work and I all went out to lunch and it was delish. After work, Seth gave me his presents and a note that made me cry. Oh, and I got another 12-pack of Diet Pepsi from him as well. I think I'll be set for a while. Hey Lara, need some Pepsi?
Speaking of Pepsi, everyone at work thinks I'm sick for liking D.P. They're all Diet Coke drinkers. Seth gave me a yoga mat...which I have been so excited to get. He also got me some snickerdoodles from Paradise bakery (he even wrapped them! so cute.) I Love those cookies.
I just realized almost the entire day was about food. Oh well!
Seth and I later went to dinner at such a good restaurant called, Trio. SOOOO YUMMY. We had an appetizer that made us both think of Seth's mom Anita. When we were eating it I said, "I bet your mom would love this!" and he said he was just thinking the same thing. Ha! Anita, you're probably curious what it was! It was Rosemary Flatbread with carmelized onions, goat cheese, and roasted red peppers and tomatoes.
It was such a great day! Tonight we're continuing to celebrate by going to a play at Pioneer Theater Company. The celebrating will continue until Sunday night when I'll have my family b-day party.
In conclusion, birthdays are so great, as long as you're with people you love and people who love you! Even just getting a phone call or text on your birthday totally makes your day. Birthdays are the best even when you don't have mounds of presents, cake, and ice cream.
