The 5th Season of "The Office" Is Almost Here!!!

For all of you who are "Office" fans like Russ and I, you'd know that we're only a week away from the season premier for the 5th season!! We can hardly wait! We just finished watching all of season 4 on DVD about a week ago, so it's been almost agonizing waiting this long! It's crazy how addicting this show is... it took us a while to get into it, but 64 episodes and 100 Dundees later, WE'RE ADDICTED!! We can't wait to find out what happens with Angela and Dwight and Andy, Michael and Jan and Holly, Jim and Pam, Ryan "The Jailbird" and Kevin "The Retard"... it's going to be AWESOME!! It starts at 9pm on NBC next Thursday. :)

Michael Scott: Myth: Three Americans every year die from rabies. Fact: Four Americans every year die from rabies.

[Michael gives Pam his jacket]

Pam Beesly: Oh, thank you.
Michael Scott: You're welcome.
[long pause]
Jan: I'm so, so sorry for the temperature in here. The, uh, sliding glass door shattered. It's actually a really cute story. Do you wanna tell it babe or should I tell it?
Michael Scott: I don't like that story, babe.
Jan: Come on! It's a cute story. Michael ran through the sliding glass door because he thought he heard the ice cream truck.
Michael Scott: Stop! Stop it! I mean.. I like ice cream, ok? Sue me! Oh- no, don't! I shouldn't say that jokingly because she will sue me. She loves to sue! She loves lawsuits. You know, honey, that door was extremely clean, and it looked invisible.
Jan: You are so right. You are SO right! Because before I lived here the glass was always covered with smudges and- and I moved in and I cleaned it and I guess that makes me the devil!
Michael Scott: [laughing hysterically] You are! She is! She is the devil! I'm in hell! I'm burning! Help me!
Angela: You shouldn't joke about that.

Michael Scott: I am downloading some N3P music--
Jim Halpert: [quickly] That's not it. Yep?
Michael Scott: --for a CD mix tape--
Jim Halpert: Close.
Michael Scott: --for Holly. And I am looking for perfect songs that work on two levels.
Jim Halpert: What are the two levels?
Michael Scott: The two levels being, welcome to Scranton and I love you.

Dwight Schrute: So what do we know about her?
Michael Scott: Well.. we know that Toby thinks she'll be great. So strike one, I hate her already.
Dwight Schrute: I hate her too.
Michael Scott: Why do you hate her?
Dwight Schrute: Because she... stinks. With her... ways. And her... head.
Michael Scott: You know Dwight sometimes... I dunno... I think you say things just to agree with me.
Dwight Schrute: Would that be such a bad thing?
Michael Scott: Yeah, it would! Just have a thought! Have an original thought! [pause] Although I will agree that her head is weird.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Michael Scott: Thanks to Toby I have a very strong prejudice against Human Resources. I believe that the department is a breeding ground for monsters. What I failed to consider, though, is that not all monsters are bad. Like ET. Is Holly our extra-terrestrial? Maybe. Or maybe she's just an awesome woman from this planet.

	[talking about Toby's going away party]
Pam Beesly:	You mean leaves as in dies? You want us to throw Toby a New Orleans funeral?
Michael Scott:	If the devil were to explode and evil were gone forever what sort of party would you have?

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Michael Scott: Today is Toby Flenderson's last day. I couldn't sleep last night. [cuts to clips of Michael dancing around the empty office] I came in extra early, so much energy. There's certain days that you know you will remember for the rest of your life. And I just have a feeling that today is one of those days.

Our Sea World/ San Diego Trip!!

I cannot even begin to tell you how long I've dreamed of going to Sea World and it's FINALLY happened! Russ and I got to go to San Diego for the weekend and we had a blast! We spent ALL day at Sea World... we got to see the Shamu Show, the Dolphin Show, the belugas, the penguins, the polar bear, the Busch-Anheuser Beer Clydesdale horses :), and everything in between. It was one of the most perfect days of my life! I still get goosebumps thinking about it! And Russ was such a sweetheart that day (not like he isn't everyday!) and went to every exhibit I wanted to go to. He really is the World's Greatest Husband!

All of was amazing. However, we're just getting to the best part... I got to be in the water with the dolphins that day!! At 4:00 that evening, I was able to get in the water with a dolphin named Maggie (she was so adorable!) and do tricks, hug her, kiss her, walk with her, AND dance with her! It was by far the coolest thing I've ever done in my life and the fulfillment of a life-long dream. It was awesome! Again, still get goosebumps just thinking about it! I can't thank Russ enough for this birthday present... the best present EVER! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!!!

We also got to stay at a beachfront hotel right on Pacific Beach in San Diego. It was so nice! We were super tired on Saturday after Sea World, so we checked in to our hotel, went and got some Taco Bell for dinner and to the grocery store for some breakfast for the next morning, headed back to the hotel and watched a whole DVD disc of the 4th season of The Office. What a great way to top of a perfect day, right?? ha ha ha! The next morning we got ready and went for a long walk on the beach, which again, was perfect. Pacific Beach is so pretty! It was so warm, but with the breeze off the ocean, it was great!

Before heading back to the airport, we had to stop and see the San Diego Temple. This temple is, in my opinion, one of the most gorgeous temples ever built. It's breathtaking! You can't help but wonder at that temple and how beautiful it is! We walked around it for a while and took a bunch of pictures (for other families, too, so that was fun! One was even from Orem, UT! Small world!) and then headed to his sister Reilly's house to say our goodbyes to his family.

This, by far, was the greatest birthday I've ever had! If any of you has not been to Sea World, you need to go! Even if you're not a marine freak like I am, it's incredible and you'll love it... trust me! Russ and I had so much fun! I can't wait to go there again someday... maybe y'all can come see me when I'm one of the trainers there! :) That's also been a life-long dream of mine, and since most of my dreams have been coming true lately, maybe that one will too. :)
