Stretched Vs Stumpy

If you look at any of our pictures of Jarom and I standing next to each other, you might notice that we seem to be the exact same height. I have known this for awhile. Nothing new. But the other day, I did notice something new, while we were both standing in front of the bathroom mirror brushing our teeth. His shoulders are a good 2 inches higher than mine! Yet, the top of our heads are even. How does that work?

After careful investigation, we discovered that either I have a long giraffe neck, or Jarom has a stumpy neck. Or both. The important thing is, if we both had my length of neck, Jarom would be taller than me. If we switched necks, he would be taller. If we both had Jarom's length neck, he would be taller. Basically any combination other than what we have, he would be taller. Because his body is longer. But my neck is longer. Weird.

Maybe your head is bigger too. What size hats do you wear?
Look at your picture. His chin hits your mouth when your heads are together. Love your parents

Haha, that's funny! Don't worry, both your necks are very nice. I think . . . My sister and I have noticed something similar--she's only barely taller than me standing, but when we sit down (legs straight out), her legs go on for like a mile past mine, and my head is way above hers. Apparently, I'm extremely long-torso-ed and her legs are like 50 feet long. It's weird how your body parts can be so different and end up the same height.

That is way funny. How long have you two been married and just noticing this. Glad things are going well.

Curb Appeal Galore

 This post is to document the journey our outside of our house has been on over the last few years. A lot of these projects I took on this summer, and a few I did earlier. I am so happy with where we are currently at, but still have some plans before it's finished. So, here is what it looked like the day we bought the house. Seven years ago. Don't let the "grass" fool you. It's just weeds. And the ugly brown window trims paired with the ridiculously old glass in the windows and the green brick with maroon grout. Not too pretty. We have since painted the door, trim, and replaced the windows. Also replaced the porch light and house numbers.  This spring we also had a new concrete half circle driveway installed. We live on a busy street and our front yard is useless and our driveway is tiny. So now we have much more functionality, less weeds, and overall happiness. After the driveway was installed, I also ripped out the rest of the grass and installed some decorative...

Things I've learned about babies

These are things I never realized or knew about babies that I have learned since having one of my own! -Babies are grimy. I still don't understand how they can get so dirty. How did you get all this dirt under your fingernails!? You can't even DO anything with your fingers! -You know that soft spot on their head? You can totally see their heartbeat in it sometimes. It's kind of disconcerting. -Once you finally figure out some type of routine or normalcy......it changes. -Apparently babies can still "bite" their tongues, even though they don't have teeth. I guess technically they're gumming their tongue? Which doesn't sound too painful, but when a red pinched blood vessel looking thing shows up on the tip of your baby's tongue, you realize that it might be a bit painful. -Babies have to be pretty tough, they experience a lot of pain! From being born (it just can't feel great being squeezed through a birth canal), to teething...for mont...

Good and Bad Discoveries of the Week

This week we have discovered the secret to life in Provo!! I am serious, it's the best thing ever, and everyone who lives in or near Provo, must take advantage of this secret to life. 1. Go to the Winsong movie theater 2. Purchase a ticket for "Take" (preferably Matinee) 3. Preferably, do not watch this movie because it is a waste of time. But if you have nothing better to do with yourself, go ahead and watch it. 4. Take your movie stub to the dollar theater located by Costco in Orem 5. Finally, enjoy UNLIMITED free movies at this theater. That's right, I said UNLIMITED FREE MOVIES at the dollar theater. I know this sounds to good to be true, but it is oh so true. I have done it, and it works. Last night, we watched a free Indiana Jones from this movie ticket. It was amazing. The movie Take is pretty worthless, but the reward is priceless. Ok, so on to the bad discoveries of the week. I have recently become aware of the advantages and disadvantages that tag along with...
