About Me

My photo
Clayton here. Here is a little about me. My favorite color is orange. I wish everything in my life was orange. Including my car and phone. (R.I.P.) I love text messaging and don't really like talking on the phone. My favorite drink in the entire world is Dr. Pepper. I'm pretty sure God gave it to the world because he loves us. (Add a little coconut rum, it makes it even better. If that's even possible.) I work in Human Resources at a hotel in downtown SLC. I'm addicted to reality TV. Especially Survivor, American Idol and So You Think You Can Dance. I love Mr. Potato Head, as you can probably tell. What else... Oh yeah I'm gay and have an AMAZING husband, Paul. ILY!!

Arkansas or Bust!!



Today Kylie goes to Arkansas!! She got to call early in the morning before her flight at 6:30. So my phone rang about 5:45, and by rang I mean buzzed. It was so good to hear her cheerful voice as she recounted the mornings events. Apparently she and her companion didn't hear their alarm clocks so they slept way longer than they should have. The office over-head paged their building and a couple of sisters from another room heard the page and barged into their room to wake them up. She had time to pull her hair back into a ponytail and get dressed before they were on the bus headed for the airport. Once she arrived at the airport and checked her bags she made her way to the bathroom to blowdry her hair and put her face on. She said she feels gross and can't wait to get to Arkansas and get a chance to take a shower. I was of coarse laughing the whole time and tried to tell me it wasn't funny. We talk for about 11 minutes or something until she felt like she needed to go to be ready to get on the plane. I wished her well and we hung up. She just called me again a minute ago. They have landed in Atlanta and have a two hour lay over before departing for Arkansas. She said she doesn't get to get into her checked luggage until tomorrow which means she probably won't get to meet her new companion until tomorrow. She traveled with 4 elders from her district and another few from another district. But she is the only sister that is headed to Little Rock right now. Her companion from the MTC is headed to Indiana with the other half of the elders from their district. I'm so proud of her for being brave enough to serve a mission. I love her so much and miss her so much. I can't wait for Christmas now so I can talk to her again. I have the address to the mission office and I'll post it soon. She loves letters so feel free to write!!

Celebrating 21!!!

My little sister turned 21 a few weeks ago. We took a trip to Pheonix a week later and stopped in Las Vegas for the night. We had already decided that we would each take 5 bucks to gamble with. We both ended up taking 10!! We wandered around the casino for a while, while our parents trailed behind. Finally we decided on a couple of penny slot machines and the fun began!! We picked out a couple of great machines and soon we were both winning. The first picture is one of Kylie's big pay outs. (Now remember we are playing penny slots so 1270 credits equals $12.70) That's awesome. I was getting pretty close to breaking $30 and I had decided I would cash out when I hit $30, but Kylie beat me to it. So I made her cash out and I walked her over to the ticket redemption machine. The pictures below are Kylie with her big ticket and then a close up of the ticket so we can prove how much she actually won. When we returned to our favorite machines our parents had jumped on trying to steal out luck. But they didn't win and then we never did again either. We finished up the night with a stop a Fat Burger, the only restaurant open in the casino and 1 in the morning. We all ordered a "Baby Fat." The best part of the meal was the crazy lady that took our orders. All in all it was a very fun night with my sister. Now she is about to leave on her mission so we'll make more memories when she gets back.
