A little Cold....

So the Gas company didn't enjoy that we ignored their letters for a week (while we were gone for Thanksgiving) so they decided to turn our gas off today. We're excited for the morning... it'll be WAY cold! But Chris already has the Gas company's number in his phone prepared to call them when they open tomorrow. We would be a little upset, since they never billed us so how were we supposed to know who to pay? but its funny enough that at least for right now we laugh. We'll see how things go in the morning. This will be the first chance I've ever gotten to practice lighting a pilot light after the many times my Dad has explained it to me "just in case".

More Salt Lake Pictures

Here are a few more of our favorites!

We love this picture... I think we look like we could be on a billboard

I cannot believe we got to ride away in a carriage! Little did Mom and Dad King know, but I always wanted to ride in a carriage in Salt Lake ever since I was little. It was perfect.

This could be some sort of movie poster

Steven and Jill voted best faces!

I like Kissing my new husband

I look a little angry...

I loved my wiggly dress!

Salt Lake Temple Pictures!

We finally got our picture from our wedding day in salt lake. We were very excited. So here are a few of our favorites (picked out of about 800)... its really hard to pick

Here we are just barely coming out of the Temple. I think we were pretty happy.

This picture is fun not only because of the sweet view of the temple, (and of 2 dang good looking people) but also you can see our shadows kissing on the sidewalk!

I think this is a close "giving the eye" face... Chris got a lot of those.

I love this picture of me and my dad!

I don't know why I love this picture so much... I just think its really cool. I'm glad my legs aren't showing, Julie's tan legs puts everyone to shame!

This is one of our favorite favorite pictures. We want to get this one printed HUGE and put it in our living room.

Chris looks very serious here... but you can see the beautiful pearl necklase from Mom King, and pearl earings from Mom Rice.

Everyone loves Chris... Especially his mom!

Yay! I love this picture. PS Cameo I LOVED my flowers! They look really good in this picture.

The cool boys. Steven has the best "I'm Cool" face.

We thought this picture was fun. A little weird... but still pretty cool. This is in front of the Salk Lake Temple Doors.

The Kitten we saved

One night Chris and I were sitting in our office, working on some homework. (I had convinced Chris to work 1 hour straight on some hard assignment without one distraction). Then we heard it. We tried to ignor it for a few minutes, but the noise got louder. We couldn't tell where it was coming from, so we opened the window. It sounded like it was right outside our window, and it sounded like something was dying. We both thought of our neighbors cat and ran to find coats and shoes. It was FREEZING outside. One of the coldest nights since last winter. We ran to my car to find my flashlight, took a little bit of panic digging to find since my car's dome light doesn't work (we needed a flashlight to find our flashlight). We ran around to the back of our building and a little lump of grey was trying to run to Chris as he picked the little guy up. He felt super cold. We took him up to our place and I sat with him in a blanket until he warmed up. We did a little research and figured he was about 4 weeks old, and too young to be away from his mother. He seemed to be on a constant search, even though his walking skills were less than pro, so we named him Diego after the little boy on dora the explorer (name by Chris). We tried to give him some milk, figuring his constant Meowing had something to do with food. But he couldn't quite figure out the whole milk in a bowl thing. He seemed to be able to smell the milk, go a little crazy, but he'd snort up a bit and start choking. He tried to suck on any skin of ours he could find. Then in frustration he'd start to bite. So we made him a little box and I ran to the store. 1 bag of cheap kitty litter and 1 free syringe later I had the kitten pretty well fed. It still was pretty hard to get him to figure out the syringe, but after a while I figured he'd eaten a lot. Surprizingly the kitten didn't make a noise all night, at least that we could hear. Chris put him in the farthest corner, white board over the box, then blanket, then 2 closed doors with pillows stuffed into the cracks.... so we didn't hear a thing. He was alive in the morning. So I faught some milk down him and we ran him over to our friends LeaDawn and Daniel early in the morning. (nothing was open before we had to be at classes). LeaDawn was nice enough to take care of him, then take him to a bunch of places to see who would take him. Finaly the Four Paws shelter took him in. In the end Chris got his homework done and we saved a kitten.
