Melanie's Birthday Weekend!

We started out my birthday on Friday by going to dinner with Jared's Mom & Dad to the Old Spaghetti Factory, afterward Jared and I went and saw "Surrogates".

Saturday was my actual birthday, we got things done around the house in the morning and then in the afternoon we went and met my brother Jeff and his wife Becca in Park City for some shopping at the outlets.
After we shopped for awhile we drove to Heber City where Becca had got us some rooms for the night at the Holiday Inn. We got a room with a king size bed and a hot tub! It was a great room.
We ended up going to eat at the Dairy Keen. Afterward we went back to the hotel and hung out for awhile. Jeff and Becca took Breda swimming for the first time and she loved it, splashing all over the place. She is getting so big!

Today on our way home we drove through Provo Canyon and took so pretty pictures of the leaves and Bridal Veil Falls. It was a fun weekend!!

We made fresh salsa last night, and I have to say it is really good. I enjoy homemade salsa so much better than the bottled stuff, that will do if there is nothing else though. Hopefully we get more tomatoes so we can make more!

You may have seen this before but I feel it is a good reminder,
something you may want to share with others. I think the big thing for
ladies to remember is you do not have to stop for a policeman in an
area where you would not feel safe. Always go to an area where there
are others to witness what is going on. Also, I think it is true
everywhere now that the police have both red and blue flashing lights,
not just red.


I knew about the red light on cars, but not the *77

It was about 1:00 p..m. In the afternoon, and Lauren was driving to
visit a friend. An UNMARKED police car pulled up behind her and put
his lights on. Lauren's parents have always told her never to pull
over for an unmarked car on the side of the road, but rather to wait
until they get to a gas stat ion, etc.



Lauren had actually listened to her parents' advice, and promptly
called *77 on her cell phone to tell the police dispatcher that she
would not pull over right away. She proceeded to tell the dispatcher
that there was an unmarked police car with a flashing red light on his
rooftop behind her. The dispatcher checked to see if there were
police cars where she was and there weren't, and he told her to keep
driving, remain calm and that he had back up already on the way.




Ten minutes later 4 cop cars surrounded her and the unmarked car
behind her. One policeman went to her side and the others surrounded
the car behind. They pulled the guy from the car and tackled him to
the ground. The man was a convicted rapist and wanted for other
crimes.



I never knew about the *77 Cell Phone Feature, but especially for a
woman alone in a car, you should not pull over for an unmarked car.
Apparently police have to respect your right to keep going to a safe
place.




*Speaking to a service representative at ** Bell ** Mobility
confirmed that *77 was a direct link to State trooper info. So, now
it's your turn to let your friends know about *77..

Jared's Aunt Donna is here from Alaska. When she comes we always make a trip up to Park City so we can take her. Should be a fun day!

Greek Festival 2009

Jared and I went to the Greek Festival, they have such good food. We went today since our Saturday was booked solid, and usually we go with Jeff & Becca but they went yesterday so it was just the two of us. The lines weren't very long at all. We ate the good food, got some desserts and came home. We had a good time and already look forward to next year.

My sister and her family moved to Las Vegas last week. This weekend we are going to go to Mesquite and hang out with them, my Dad and my brother and his family. It should be a fun time in Southern Utah. We are going to get up super early on Saturday morning and hopefully get out of here by 5 a.m., we will drive to Mesquite with a stop in St. George at In-N-Out for lunch. Sunday we are going to Vegas to check out Krista and Trent's new place.
