Whew, I'm tired tonight! I know nobody cares..but that is the thought going through my head right now! Isn't it funny how as a child we refuse to take naps and sleep in..but as an adult my idea of a dream vacation is sleeping for a week! Okay, I'd wake up for an occasional coke...but then go right back to sleep. "WHAT?" I know what you are thinking.."you could go back to sleep after drinking a coke? You must really be addicted!" And I am thinking,.."Yep, you are probably right..what's your point?" I must be tired because that whole paragraph reminded me of Jack Handy..."deep thoughts by Becky Johnson"!! MOVING ON......
So we had an amazing weekend. Greg surprised me for my birthday and took me down to the George for the weekend and tickets to Les Mis. I know..I was shocked. I hate to bring up the past...and so I really won't dive into the past..(too much!!)....but my sweetie patooty has had a problem with gift giving in the past...let's say 5 years or so. "Now, Becky I really don't want you to think I got you something because I really didn't, I just really didn't have time." First year...DEVASTATED. Second year, "Your kidding me right?" Third year, "Take a hike and sleep on the couch." Fourth year, "He must be teasing me...NOPE!" Fifth year...."Numb to it...he must have something wrong with his brain!" Poor guy...he just can't live it down!!
So he did amazing. He got a screaming deal on this condo..I mean condo castle! It was so beautiful I could hardly believe it. My only regret was that we couldn't stay longer...like forever!! We got there and went straight to the temple and had an amazing experience there. Nothing crazy, but if anyone knows Greg and I then you know that we will just talk to anyone. So we did sealings..but we spent like an hour getting personal tours of the St. George temple and loving our time with the temple workers. Greg even got a Father's Day candy bar from one of the old ladies. My sister always makes fun of me because she says no matter where I am I will start up a conversation with anyone. True, true. What's her point, I like to talk so I might as well talk to the people around me. And Greg is just as bad..if not worse. I had to laugh because I got a little lost in the temple and so this nice lady was showing me the way and then I heard Greg's not so quiet voice coming down the hall....and of course he was lost too and was getting help along the way. Afterwards I seriously had to wait in the waiting room for fifteen minutes because Greg started up a conversation with someone in the dressing room and they had a grand old time exchanging stories. I love it!!
So, we spent Saturday shopping and then went to the musical on Saturday night. It was incredible and so nice to just be with my hubby. Although, they give you a hand out and the chick who was the "star" in the other musical.."Sound of Music" that plays on the odd nights is Greg's past woman! Gag! I am so glad we opted to see Les Mis because how awkward would that of been to have your husband starring at "Maria" all night long wishing he was Mr. Von Trapp or whatever the heck his name is! I'm not bitter...I may not be able to sing a note but I always remind him that I have bigger boobs than her! Don't act shocked..it's true!! Weigh it out...."Good singing voice or Big Boobs?" See it's a no brainer!
Well, we got back to our condo around 1 a.m. and packed our bags..went to sleep and woke up at 3 freakin 30 A.M. to drive home. Greg was getting a new calling and we had to be back in time for church at 9. It was a crazy drive. I just knew it was going to be hard so I decided I was going to have to be the strength that got us home. I'd like to personally thank my good friends, "Karen Carpenter, Tiffany, Carrie Underwood and many others,.." for letting me belt out their music all the way home. Greg drove the first half and seriously it was like pulling teeth to keep him awake. I'd say, "SCREAM!! Sing your guts out!" and Greg would say in his not so enthusiastic voice, "ahhhhhhh!" Instead he was tickling himself. Um, excuse me buddy, we aren't trying to fall asleep! Finally he moved over and got some shut eye and I continued the driving,...and singing to keep myself awake! It was fine until about 30 miles out of Payson when I realized I was either going to pee my pants or have my bladder burst...or better yet, pull over and give the truckers something to smile about. Don't worry, I made it! (Hope I didn't worry anyone!)
Yesterday was a great day! I love the fathers in my life! I have an amazing dad. He is my hero and I am so thankful that he is my dad!! I love you daddy! I also have the most amazing husband and my kiddos are so lucky to have him as their dad. He really truly is an amazing father!! Love ya babe!!
As a sidenote...I am devastated. We got home and were trying to hurry so fast to get ready for church. My sweet sister in law had stayed Saturday night with the boys and so she was there. Well I was trying to hurry and when I got out of the shower I was sneaking out of the bathroom,...into my bedroom..in ALL OF MY GLORY...tiptoeing over to the door to shut it so that Cammie couldn't see me when all of the sudden I look up and she is laying in my bed! I was frozen..I just screamed and stood there and did nothing. I think she was going to seriously have a heart attack from laughing so hard. Here's the visual.."Me...NUDE....me.... with a towel on my head...me....with nair on my upper lip....me... tip toeing to the door!! Dang, if only I'd known I could have done my model walk over to the door!!
Well, another fabulous week! Another fabulous birthday! Another fabulous embarassing story for me!! At least it keeps me human! I love you Greg! Thank you for an amazing birthday! He really is close to perfect and he's all mine!!

Sounds like a great birthday and good trip, besides the whole 3:00 am thing, oh and the nudity.
What a blast! And what a wonderful wonderful guy! Major points there Gregory. I can't wait to go down and see Les Mis. You look just as beautiful as always!
I think I am going to die laughing. Nick is staring at me right now trying to figure out why I'm laughing so hard. You and Greg are two peas in a pod. Poor Cammie now knows how I feel - tell her she can talk to me if she needs any counseling. BTW, it's still so weird for me to see Greg bald. I'm glad you guys had a good weekend. I'll have to catch up with you later.
So as I was reading your recap of your past birthdays I wondered if Greg finally caught on to birthdays around April 1st when he heard about my lovely birthday! Maybe my hubby will catch on when he reads your post! Glad you had a good time!
dude, beck, your posts are so damn funny and just wonderfully honest! I love it! There is nothing better than someone REAL! man, I like yoU!
Why can't I tell stories like you. You are hilarious and I love it. I wish that I had a personality like yours. I am glad you had such a great time. I think you and Greg really needed that after all that you have been through.
Thanks for another great laugh, Becky! Glad you had a wonderful time!
Ahh, life is never boring is it.
I'm glad you guys got away. I'm very impressed Greg! And congrats on the new calling...I think.
Hey Becky it sounds like you had a great birthday. I've always known that Shawn & Greg had a lot in common, I guess that their ablilities when it comes to gift giving (or lack of ability)are similar as well. Also we finally have a blog. I keep telling Shawn to email everyone, but as you can see that hasn't happened yet and it may not ever happen. So it is onewildefamily.blogspot.com Oh one more thing what is Greg's new calling? Shawn wants to be there when he's made Bishop!
Ya how funny is this, I went up to Mrs. Von Trapp and said "hi, I know Greg Johnson!" Her eyes got huge...pretty funny!!!
Sounds like a great b-day, Bec! As for the nakedness...at least you know her pretty well! I had an "incident" a few months back, and I still can't even talk about it except to say that these people, who are now our good friends, won't talk about it, either!
you are killing me Becky.
Love the naked story! (especially the Nair on the lip) I think I would die! Sounds like an awesome b-day, your pics are so cute! You were totally due for a sweet celebration.
That is such a fuuny story, and what a funny husband you have. How nice for him to buy you tickets to see Les Mis and to go to the George... I bet it was so great. If you can't have your SIL see you nude, then who can you have? I was laughing the whole time. thanks for the laugh!!
