Shout out to my left hand

Recently I have been thinking about some pretty weird stuff. Summer does that to me. Some of these things include skin cancer, orphanages, chocolate milk, grass, brown hair, babies, primary music, sociology, water consumption, 1 year wedding anniversaries (YAY Lauri&Ben and Anamin&Shane!!!), Utah, Scottie coming home, etc. I was also thinking about my left hand and how left out it probably feels (no pun intended). No one really appreciates all the things their left hand does for them. I decided to take note of all the things my left hand can do. For those of you who write with your left hand...I envy your talent.

• wash my right hand
• put the toothpaste on my toothbrush
• type numbers into autofry (at work)
• put hair behind my ear
• drink out of a cup or waterbottle
• successful high 5's
• carry groceries (3 gallons of milk)
• clip fingernails on right hand
• type things into register at work
• put mascara on my left eye
• deodorant on right pit
• type/text
• play the piano
• put on earrings
• tie shoes (IF I need to, which I usually don't)
• lean against a counter, or table, or wall
• stabilizer
• scrub the shower (mostly only the far corners)
• unlock my front door (from the inside)
• fold laundry
• wash dishes
• rock babies to sleep
• throw chapstick across the room to Linda while laying in my bed
• turn on my blinker or headlights
• get skins and grids (at work)
• hold my hymn book
• wipe down top, bottom, or sandwich (at work)
• shift key on computer (Never in my life have I used the right shift key)
• wave
• snap
• almost win a racquetball game
• attempt a cartwheel
• blow my nose
• unbutton my shirt
• throw blue m&m's 

If you have anything to add, feel free to leave a comment. I'd love to hear any of your brilliant ideas!
Happy Friday!

What have we been up to?

Well, I promised a good Spring Break post, but since that was so long ago I'll just recap and tell you what we've been up to.

We went to the Phoenix Zoo on the first day of Spring Break. Everyone that wanted to got to pet the Sting Rays. Brad said it was pretty cool, I'll take his word for it!

 

We somehow managed to follow around the zookeepers and found many of the animals eating. We decided that the tortoise and the hare must have made up because the tortoise was so kindly sharing his food. OR maybe he just wasn't fast enough on this day to get his food back.

Here is one of our band pictures from the Zoo Edition.

During Spring Break I also got to take care of Jack and Lucy because Erik was at Mountain Man with the scouts and Stacy had weddings galore!

Marcie saw this hidden park from the bus and decided that we needed to have lunch there during our break. It appears that Brad and Rhonda enjoyed themselves.

Moving on to some other day. It was Sis. Coombs' birthday and she came over for dinner. Sis. Coombs is one of the secretaries at the Institute, and one of Rhonda's best friends. She's also related to us somehow. My dad's, uncle's, son's, wife maybe? We had lots of fun having her at our house and getting to know her.

 We also had the Annual Huber Family Fair: An A Fair to Remember. It was loads of fun! We had fair games. The bubble gum blowing contest was definitely a major hit.

Maybe that's because Grandpa was in charge of it, and wouldn't let you escape until your jaw hurt from chewing so much gum!

We had lots of horse races too!

We also have a talent show at the fair. Brad and Rhonda played a lovely duet, but for some reason I can't get it to load. BOO!

We had a fantastic Easter! All of the people that live at our house were home for dinner, that's a BIG deal at our house! Then, we all took good naps after dinner! For dessert we had a Rice Krispy Cake. We're practicing for when I get married someday. Yes, I'm going to have a triple decker Rice Krispy Cake, I'm even considering having two bunny peeps as my cake topper.

The annual Guthrie Easter Egg Roll at the park was a little delayed because we had to wait for Brad to finish school so he'd be home for Family Home Evening.

 As you can see it was quite a success and a lot of fun.

To end, Stacy was so kind as to take us to Coons Bluff a couple weeks ago and take pictures for our bedroom wall. It was tons of fun, and we got a lot of good pictures. Here's a few:

So that's what we've been up to. We're excited for summer!!! Rhonda's slowly writing a new post so watch for that one in the near future!

My dear old man...

Birthdays come once a year.

I am definitely a fan!

Today is the day we celebrate the birth of one of my best friends,

Andrew Jess Huber!!!

SURPRISE!!!!!!

Once upon a time...

...Lee Huber (my grandpa) had a cousin named Dennis (Andy's dad). They had no idea about the friendship that would one day occur between two members of their posterity. 

Andy and I have been in the same ward for as long as I can remember. Although we had many opportunities, we were never friends during our primary years. I remember the exact moment and place that I first became friends with this boy.

It was at the back to school water activity for mutual that we first became friends.

An epic game of missionary tag was about to begin and Andy ran up and linked arms with me (brave soul). It was the week before we started our sophomore year at Mesa High. 

Suddenly Andy Huber became my new favorite person.

Our friendship has had its ups and downs (like every friendship does), but we've stuck through it all and are best buds now!

Things I LOVE about Andy

1. He stuck with me at all the youth conferences and even the trek! (see picture above)

2. He has a great sense of humor :)

3. He took me to PROM my junior  year! I had such a fun time!!

4. He has an angel mother

5. He lets me disagree with him without getting mad at me

6. He reminds me to keep up on the goals I've made

7. He is a worthy Priesthood holder and an active member of our ward

8. He contributed to the perfection of my 19th birthday! AND he introduced me to the world of restaurant made breakfast food.

 9. He always tries to keep me culturally rounded in my music selections. (Miss Sweeney?)

10. He is so adamant about sports. According to Andy, sports=life!!

 11. I love that Andy wasn't weirded out by the rumor circulating around our ward (even to the bishop) that we were dating. I'm also glad that he wasn't offended when I told him loudly in the hall that we had to "break up".

12. I'm grateful that Andy has been my friend through the thick and thin of my high school years and now into college. 

13. He is a fabulous YSA rep for our ward and is always encouraging me to participate in the activities.

14. I love that some people have mistaken us for twins.

15. I love his blue tie :)

16. I appreciate that he is always honest with me.

17. I love that he is dedicated to the things he begins.

18. He has a fabulous adam's apple.

19. He thinks for himself and doesn't care what others think about him.

20.I'm glad that it was his birthday today so that I could celebrate too!!

I love you Andy!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!
