Chloe has one tooth that always pokes out of her mouth it looks so funny. It usually happens when she is sleeping. When we first noticed it Conrad gave her the nick name croc-a-dach (Crocodile teeth and a dachshund face) shortened to crocky.

You Won't Know Until You Try It
I am some what of a picky eater, I have gotten less picky as I've gotten older. I am not usually thrilled about trying new food, especially if it looks weird or gross. Conrad on the other hand loves trying new food, and the more different the food the more he likes it. Lets just say since I have married Conrad, I have tried a lot of different foods that I normally wouldn't consider trying.
Some of Conrads co workers are Persian and they took him to one of their favorite persian restaraunts. Conrad really liked it and decided to take me. He kept telling me how good it was and that it was a lot different the any other food he has eaten. So of course I was excited to try it.
He didn't tell me that it looked disgusting until after we ordered the food.
It looks better mixed in with the rice.
The brown goopy looking stuff is pomegranate and it was actually really good, although I couldn't quite get over the look of the food. It looked too much like poop to me, yep im sure you all were thinking it ;) I just had to tell myself it looked like black beans and black beans don't gross me out.
Conrad definitely liked it
Then conrad told me I needed to try persian ice cream or saffron ice cream. Once again he got me excited to try it... then I put it in my mouth, it tasted like potpourri. Is saffron in potpourri? I didn't like it one bit. Conrad loved it though.
Would I eat there again? Yes I liked the pomegranate chicken but I have no desire to eat the safron ice cream again. I will stick with regular ice cream.

4th of July Memories
I recently talked to my sister on the phone and she said, " You need to hurry and update your blog, mom is having a panic attack, she's having withdrawls." Ha ha well mom here you go, this post is for you :).
This year the 4th of July was kind of a bummer for us, which was even more of a bummer for me beacsue the 4th of July is one of my most favorite holidays besides Christmas of course :).Most our friends were out of town and it is just way way too HOT here in Phoenix to even enjoy being outside for more than 5 seconds. Although, we actually did catch a break, it was cloudy the whole day and it ended up raining! Normally I would be angry about that on the 4th but here in Phoenix I welcomed it with open arms.
We started the day bright and early and went to a ward breakfast which was fun. Then we just chilled for a few hours and later went to Smash Burger to eat, YUM. After we ate we went and saw the new Spider Man movie. It was kind of a let down, it wasn't bad it was just too much like the previous one, I don't understand why they made a new one so soon? Anyway that was our 4th, and the biggest bummer of all... I did not see one firework not one! It was dead here. I didn't even see any firework stands on the roads. My friends in the ward warned me about how boring it is here on the 4th and they were right. Conrad and I both did have the day off, it was fun being able to spend the whole day with him so it wasn't all bad :)
Here are some of the poeple and places we were missing this 4th of July...
Going to the Stadium of Fire has been a Johnson family tradition since I was little. LOVE the Stadium of Fire so many good memories.

Change
The other day I went to a little goodbye get together for a friend in the ward that is moving to South Carolina. It was so much fun talking with all the girls but sad at the same time because it was the last time we were going to see this friend.
Saying goodbye made me think of when Conrad and I first moved from Utah to Arizona, it was so hard saying goodbye to friends and family. I liked my life the way it was, I loved living in Logan, I absolutely loved going to school at Utah State and of course, I loved being near my family. The day we moved to Arizona I cried off and on for the whole 10 hour drive. Once we got all our stuff moved into our new apartment, I sat on the floor and cried some more (obviously I don't handle change very well) poor Conrad. The first Sunday we attended church at our ward we felt instantly welcomed. So many people invited us to dinner,and family gatherings. The girls in the ward were always calling me and inviting me to various activities. Soon after moving in I found a great job, I was called to Young Women's, Conrad was called to be a Sunday school teacher and we quickly made many good friends. That's one of the many great blessings of being a member of the church, you have instant friends where ever you go.
We have been here for almost two years now. Looking back I've realized how much Conrad and I have grown, and all the fun experiences we've had here. We would've never had those experiences if we hadn't made that big change and moved. Of course it is still hard being away from family but having great friends makes it a little easier. Even though change is hard, it almost always turns out to be for the better. Without change life would be boring.
I stole this picture off my friends blog she is always good about taking pictures.

This Little Hound
This little hound got spayed yesterday. They put a cone around her head so she wouldn't lick the stitches. They had to give her a big one because her nose is so long. I just had to take pictures of how funny she looked, she couldn't even walk forward in it. I could not stop laughing.

| This is my favorite one, she was so groggy from the medication. |
Looking Good
Last week Conrad had his first interview for an internship. We just found out he got the job! He will be working at a law firm that represents a collection agency. He starts the 28th and it sounds like they will be working him pretty hard. Good job Conrad! I am proud of you!
Of course I had to take a picture of him before he left for the interview.

A Walk in the Park
Conrad and I both have Fridays off and we like to take advantage of our day off together and do something fun. Lately, we have been going to the dog park with Chloe so we can enjoy the weather before it gets too hot to enjoy being outside. It has already hit the triple digits here so our perfect weather days are numbered. It is going to be a long HOT summer. That is one thing I don't like about living in Phoenix, I dread the summers, and I don't like dreading summer because I love summer. Although the other 8 months of perfect weather kind of make up for it.
A little update on us:
Conrad's last day of class was today, he just has to get through his finals and he is done with his second year! Wahoo! We are beginning to see a light at the end of the tunnel. He has a few interviews for an internship this summer, we are crossing our fingers that he will get something! Work is going well for me. I'm slowly getting more clients on my caseload and I finally feel like I have learned the ropes. It was a little rough for me the first couple of months trying to figure everything out, although, I'm kind of a drama queen and stress out easily, so I don't think it was as bad as I was making it to be.
That's our life right now not a whole lot going on, but we are enjoying it. Here are some pictures of the park.
