Right. . . . I got older.

November 2, 1983 Heidi Dawn Adams was born 7 lbs and something ounces. (I'm just trying to sound dramatic) in West Jordan Utah. I was bald until I was three. I went to Westland Elementary and had a crush on the same boy for all six years at Elementary School. I started playing Softball in fifth grade. I went to Joel P. Jensen Middle School. It was then that I developed a new crush for the next three years. In seventh and Eighth grade I was a wallflower and probably no one knew me until ninth grade when I tried out for the West Jordan High School Softball team. Sophomore year I inherited Bumble, the yellow POS tracker that I still love and cherish. At Seventeen Bumble died and I did nothing but ball and dances and dated. Senior year I spent half my time at the Tech Center where I was introduced to Digital Editing. I graduated and went to UVSC (now UVU). My first year I made MANY MANY important friendships that influenced me in altering ways. I would just like to note a few: Christy-Gray my married lady with a baby (now two), Brother Kieran Reilly (to be spoken in a british accent), Bethany Bird (we go way back), Brandon McClelland (introduced me to South Park), Tyler Jackman (no relation to Hugh, no matter what he says!)
Then I had a second year of Orem which has yet to be beaten. I will never forget the friendships developed in this year for they will always be MY BOYS JohnKyleMattWade!
Unfortunately all good things must come to an end for the boys headed out to fullfill their destinies. They served missions and I. . . . I met Jeff. He was the perfect match for me. Everything he said and did was exactly what I had been looking for and I knew it was time. I married him in 2004. I worked and Jeff went to school. He finished two years later and we bought a house in Murray which then spawned a spending frenzy. We bought two dogs, a truck, a four wheeler, a big screen television, four nintendo systems and all the editing software requried for me to start my own editing business. I have a full time job and do weddings on the side. I love to edit and make movies. I believe some are even posted on this blog, but the whole reason for this post was to relive the past 25 years. I can't believe I have only been around that long and I have at least another 25 more to go, (or so I hope) after that I don't really care.

Sunday Softball!

Sunday Jeff and I went to the parents house and gathered the neighbors for a friendly game of softball. It was AWESOME! It felt so good to play again and it also felt good to know that after three years without playing I kind of still have some skills. I especially enjoyed the amount of soreness I felt after even though Jeffrey had to help me up the stairs a few times. But it was excellent and I got a few pics.


This is Kendra, she's 8 years old and awesome at softball. She's also the youngest of the family we like to call the New Generation of Hagen's. She comes from a family of four girls all blonde and all playing softball. Sound familiar?


I tried to get everyone in this pic, sorry if I didn't!
(From left to right ) Autumn, My Dad, Amanda (second in the Hagen's New Generation) Jason and Amber. Kendra, Debra, Brittany (Third in the Hagen's New Generation) and last but certainly not least my lover, The Jeff.

Debra is the wonderful and amazing mother of the New Generation. She is an awesome ball player too! My favorite part of the game is when Debra was covering third and My mom was on the opposite team running to the base. My mom dove and Debra caught the ball trying to tag her out. It was like watching a couple of pro's! I guess that's what happens when you watch years and years of ball.

And here is Amber, the eldest of the New Generation. She and her boyfriend came and were on opposite teams. They're such a cute couple!

Just Noting

April & Eric's Summary

Fun Halloween Stuff!

For Halloween I saw a lot of cute ideas for fun halloween treats. I spent four hours baking thursday night and brought in a ton of stuff to work. It was more a selfish thing for me because it gave me an excuse to bake all those fun goodies.
This one is a goblin Jeff decorated and my boss took a pic for us!





Gotta love my crazy co-workers (I'm taking the picture)

Let me just tell you about my morning

After getting ready and ensuring I am going to be on time for once, I walk outside and think about how it's cold and I only have a short sleeve jacket on. I think 'hey, I work only two minutes away and I already locked the door' so I walk to my car, but I can't even turn my key because the lock is frozen. Using my big flabby muscles I force the key to the right and hear the crunch of the ice in the lock. I then lift the handle, but the door is frozen. I decide to try the other side of the car. Walking around the back of the acura I slip on a patch of ice and I am already so angry I kick a bunch of snow that causes a ton of freezing cold ice to blow back on my body. I sure wish at this time I had worn a coat. I push and shove on the passenger side door, but nothing happens.
A weaker woman may have gone back inside and asked her husband for some help, but I don't like to admit defeat. I used my hip and slammed into the driver's side door and heard some more crunching, lifting on the handle with all my might I feel it come loose so i slam it again with my hip. I'm sure the Gladys Kravitz's of the neighborhood got a kick out of my assualt on my own vehicle this morning.
Fortunately I have Success! I get the door open and put the key in to start warming it up. I grab the scraper and shut the door and begin chizzeling my car out of the ice. Seeing that this in itself is going to be quite a task I realize I was supposed to be to work five minutes ago. I decide I'll get the key out of the car and go and get some water to see if I can soften the ice.
You can guess what happened next. That stupid door was frozen solid! I banged on it with my hip, my fists, my three inch heels and nothing! I worked on it for another five minutes and then decided I had to get Jeff, but I couldn't unlock the house door because the keys were inside the car. So I knock and ring the doorbell and wait. . . . . nothing. I bang on it again and walk under the window 'jeff! JEFF!'
Nothing.
I tell you the profanities that flashed through my mind are not appropriate for this blog!
Finally I go back to the car and just as I slam my heel into the door I hear a scolding voice 'Heidi!'
It's Jeff poking his head out of the door obviously upset I'm kicking in the door of my car. He comes outside and I am very proud to admit that he too could not get this door open. He went around to the other side (slipping on the same patch of ice I did earlier) and unlocked the passenger side door. He got that side open and then shoved on the inside of the Driver's door and 'hallellua' it came open. It was exactly like Doc from back to the future when he opened the door to the Delorean, the door was solid ice. I hurry and hop in the car and give Jeff a quick kiss saying 'My hero'. (Yes I really did say that.)
He's getting into his truck as I flip the wiper blades on and try to leave, but then he starts scraping off my window.
'I'm late for work!' I yell annoyed.
'You can't see!' He yells back.
Well that's a just a risk I am willing to take. So I hunch over the steering wheel to see through the tiny hole that has thawed through the ice on the windshield. Luckily as I said before I only live two minutes away from work.

It was like driving from the inside of an ice cube. Maybe Jeff should let me call someone to repair the garage? You would think, but being a man he doesn't believe in paying someone to do something he could himself. This only results into problems. Hence the bathroom in the basement is STILL NOT DONE.

I'm sorry honey, but the day you married me no matter what happens, everything will always somehow come back to being your fault.

LOVE YOU JEFF!

After reviewing

my previous post I have realized the need to utilize the spell checker tool. I will do what I can. That is all.

I love Snow

There's an episode of Gilmore Girls where Lorelei talks about her relationship with snow. I only bring this up because I don't want anybody to think I stole this from that episode. I too, have a wonderful relationship with snow. (I was married in December, how appropriate is that?)
Last night I couldn't sleep because well, there's no nice way to put this. OBAMA SUCKS! He's fooled the entire country and now I have to put up with seeing his face for four years. Ulgh and Michelle's too. Oh well, I am going to try and get over it because this morning arising to the sound of his voice on my alarm (I won't make that mistake again) I looked outised to see that once again snow is there for me, it was so beautiful I didn't mind wiping my car off and being 15 minutes late for work. Snow you rock and I will forever love your goodness.

By the way this also means that the Holiday's are a coming. I fully intend to enjoy all that I can this holiday season, sleigh ride, sledding, fourwheeling, hooky-bobbing, snowmans, fireplaces, big sweaters and scarfs, and my most wonderful absolutle favorite. . . . THE TURKEY BOWL!

Random Pictures

Jeff and I don't have a still image digital camera so we don't ever get our picture taken. So when I find a new picture of me that I haven't seen ever I feel the need to post it. This is Jeff, my uncle Chris, myself and Dad at the cabin. I am so excited to go snowmobiling up there this winter, yee-ha!
