Random Tidbits

So here are a couple things I wanted to share with you...

1. Today was a busy day in labor and delivery. This whole month has been really crazy actually. Listen to this...the month of July 2008 has had more babies delivered than any month on hospital record. (The records go back to 1989, I think.) That's right folks, we broke the all time high with a total of 474 babies born in one month. Wow. That's a lot of babies. So pretty much we're one of the busiest labor and delivery units in the country and Utah County has the highest birth rate in the nation. Sometimes stress levels are high and the intensity is scary but most of the time the outcomes are positive.

2. Sean is taking private organ lessons. He's our ward organist and he wants to get better at the pedals and knowing exactly how all the stops and buttons work. A very nice BYU professor, Br. Belnap, offers free lessons to the organists in our BYU married student stake. What a good opportunity.

3. I know we're way late on this update but Sean and I splurged and went to the real theater (as opposed to the dollar theater) and saw the movie "Ironman". We really enjoyed it and thought it was a great show. It was entertaining, suspenseful, had good morals, and was very clean. In fact, I don't remember one bad part. Anyway, you've probably all seen it already but if you haven't, you should.

4. One thing I really don't like is taking my car into the shop when something is wrong with it. I feel so clueless about cars and I worry that the workers are being dishonest. I know I should have more faith in people but these are things you have to wonder about. So my "check engine" light turned on and after a couple weeks of driving around ignoring it, I decided to get it checked out. The body shop investigated the problem and found out that some tube (I can't remember which one) had a whole in it and so it was causing inaccurate readings and so the light went on. So of course that one tube needed to be replaced and $90.00 later our "check engine" light is off. Phew!! I just like cars that work properly but require no maintenance.=) =)

Family Reunion

This past weekend Sean and I flew to Denver to enjoy a fun, Oborn family reunion. It was so nice to get out of Provo and see and new city. We enjoyed our time playing games, jet skiing, swimming, chatting, and of course eating good food. Sean and I love spending time with our families and hate it when we have to say goodbye. Here is just a glimpse of our quick 2-day vacation.
Our immediate family: Rachel, Norine, Glenn, Natalie, Sean, and Elizabeth. (Eric gets home from Uruguay in 6 months!)

Natalie and I with our reunion shirts on. K. & R. O. stands for Keith and Ruth Oborn, our grandparents.

Cassie, Rachel, Sean, and Natalie. Fun times with cousins!!

It was a perfect day to be outside. Blue skies, fresh breeze, and warm sunshine.

After an exhausting day in the sun, Sean fell asleep on the picnic table. Doesn't look too comfortable does it?

Our New Living Room

A couple of weeks ago Sean and I spent a Saturday painting our family room. These pictures make it look really light, almost white. It is a nice beige, neutral color though. If you look at the base boards and compare it to the wall color that's closer to the real color. Out of all the colors home depot had to offer I chose this specific one called "Gobi Desert". When I went to check out, the lady told me that this was the number one selling color in Utah. We are pleased with the results. (It really does look better in person.) =) =)
