Color/pattern blindness

While I was at work today, Shawn called me and asked me what shirt to dress Oakley in. I told him it depended on what pants he put on him. He said "the striped ones", but I couldn't picture which ones he meant. He answered his own question and said, "Nevermind, I found one". The picture shows what I came home to. :-) So, if you can't really tell, the pant are pastel yellow and blue striped. The shirt is a red and deep blue plaid flannel. Need I say more??? Even though Shawn may not have any fashion sense, I know he loves and takes care of Odie, so that's all that really matter...it just made me laugh!

My Graduate

This past Friday, we got to attend Shawn's Graduation Banquet (even though he gratuated last March). It wasn't put on by the school, but the apprenticeship committee. It's a five year apprenticeship program, and we're both so glad that he's done. Shawn had written down that it was at the Grand America Hotel in SLC (which surprised me because it's really nice). I had been in Park City for Girl's Weekend with the Craguns, but met him in Salt Lake. When we pulled up to the Grand America, I floored by how many luxury cars there were. Then I started seeing people walk in that were all dressed up. I started to get a little mad at Shawn-"You didn't tell me this was a black tie affair!" because he was in jeans, and I had just worn my khakis. I was starting to feel really out of place, when I decided I was definitely waaay out of place. That's when we knew Shawn had remembered incorrectly (surprise, surprise). His banquet was actually at the Little America Hotel which, lucky for us, was right across the street.
It was actually nice that he had gotten it wrong because our parking at the Grand America was free that night because of whatever was going on. It was some big church thing because MoTab was there, and they were showing a church video with people getting baptized.
Overall, it was a nice evening (even though they had an open bar and the people at our table were loud drunks) and it was fun to meet the people that Shawn had been in class with.
