tomatoes coming out of my ears

I cannot believe what I found when I went out to my garden tonight! It was out of control. I picked close to 20 tomatoes, 3 cucumbers, 6 bell peppers, 10 jalapeno peppers, and over 15 cherry tomatoes. What happened while I was gone? My garden is on steroids. I have no idea what I am going to do with all these tomatoes! I think I was overly excited to plant a garden this year (in addition to every thing else I planted 6 tomato plants). When we lived out of state, I craved a good ole Utah tomato. Adam makes fun of me for saying that Utah tomatoes are better than any other, but it is true. I guess I was making up for 7 years of lost tomato time. At this rate I will be eating tomatoes every day until Christmas!

The "BIG" 3oooooh

Yes, that is right, I am going to be turning 30 this week. Oooh, I am so depressed about the whole event. How does it go by so fast? It seems like yesterday that I turned 20. Now I am getting old way too fast. But, on a lighter note, Adam and I met our great friends from Denver in Vegas for the weekend. We had so much fun. My girlfriend Julie also turned 30 this month, so we decided to ring in the event on a positive note. We stayed at the Palazzo hotel (which was absolutly gorgeous), hung out by the pool, shopped (of course), gambled, and ate great food (sushi, sushi, sushi). It was such a fun weekend. Grandma Westover came and watched the girls for us. Thanks again Kathleen!

All in all, I have to say I really enjoyed and accomplished alot during my 20's. I married the most wonderful husband ever, graduated college,moved 5 times to different states (Montana twice), had 2 beautiful little girls, ran 2 marathons, owned 5 different homes, met so many wonderful friends, went on fabulous trips, got my wish to live close to family, and just had a great 10 years. Hopefully my 30's will be just as great if not better!
