The One With Dr. Jon

The other day I noticed that my poor little baby Titan (gag.. I know, but I don't have kids so this is what you get) had this pretty good size cut on his back leg. Jon thinks he got it from running and hiding behind the storage shed in the back yard, but seriously, who knows, I mean he's a dog. Anyway, so Jon decided to play doctor..Jon loves playing doctor.. and fixed him right up.

The One With the Police Officers Memorial and Family Reunion

"Carved on these walls is the story of America, of a continuing quest to preserve both democracy and decency, and to protect a national treasure that we call the American dream."- President George Bush


A few weekends ago the Wright family had a family reunion in Utah to attend the dedication of Utah's Law Enforcement Memorial. It was an incredibly moving experience and gave me even more respect for our law enforcement. I met up with the family on Friday to watch my Grandpa and his brother and sister cement their father's plaque into the memorial. Seth F. Wright died in the line of duty transporting a prisoner from Texas back to Utah in 1960. The act of cementing on the plaques by the families had been happening all week and there were 2 guards at the memorial for every minute of it. I thought that was really respectful and special. After the cementing a bunch of the old timers and myself went to an Italian dinner in Bountiful. So sweet. I love my family, they are hilarious. After dinner we went to a "world famous" frozen custard place in Bountiful. They had a walk up order place and also a counter inside. Well I ordered mine outside and I noticed my Dad at the counter inside so when it came time to pay I told this kid that the guy with the white shirt was picking up my tab. The kid thought I was UBER shady. Jokes on him, Dad paid. Ha. Saturday morning I met my family at the state capitol again for the actual dedication of the memorial. There were TONS of people and law enforcement to support these heroes. The Governor and also Pres Packer spoke. They had arranged for 126 current law enforcement men to stand on a hill behind the memorial to represent the 126 fallen officers. My grandpa was able to stand in for his father on the hill. There was a tear, not gonna lie. :) The speaker mentioned something about how because of these fallen officers we are able to sleep in our beds at night, our children are able to play in the streets and that we are able to have some peace of mind in this world. It was very moving. All give some, some give all. After the dedication we went to eat Mexican food and had a nice time. Saturday night was the annual raffle, where I did not win a quilt!! I'm bummed. I stuffed those cans with tickets. :( I did happen to sit by my great-great aunts husband Olie and he kept stealing drinks from my Diet Dr Pepper. I love silly old men. Ha. Anyways, it was great to see the fam and have good times but also remember and celebrate the lives and sacrifice of those fallen officers. I know I am appreciative and also very proud.

The One With The Pig

So last weekend was our ward luau. It was a lot of fun..good job Heather!! We had great food, and great entertainment, but my favorite part was the pig. A girl in our ward cooked a whole pig in her oven!! Can you imagine.. a pig in your oven! It was seriously so neat. A lot of people, including Heather, were pretty grossed out by it, but Jon and I were loving it. So here he is..or she..our poor little pig aka dinner.
