You're SO thoughtful and sweet to leave such a personal message where everyone can see it. Now JJWT will get lots of comments at work about how lucky he is and stuff. Way to be!

Johanna said...

Oh my gosh we were just visiting zion and I commented to my husband how those overpass messages were everywhere. You must really love him. Did the twins help? I bet they are really advanced for their age.

I hope you got all those cups for free using your coupons!!

Brooke said...

Gentrey said...

If I would have actually seen this......I would have probably caused an accident I would have been laughing so hard.

Tamn, you are a genuis.

The Mostess said...

Um. I heard you people did things like this...so glad to see the proof.

You two will be in love-love-love forever because of this.

Liv said...

i thought cups-on-the-overpass-fence-messages were just for girls who are finally going to see their missionaries for a make out fest upon their return.

Token Asian Friend said...

The pedistal I placed you upon is no longer worthy of your presence.

Simply breathtaking.

Katherine said...

Anybody know where that was?? Thanks!

Bee said...

you are adorable!!!! <3

Abby said...

Ha ha ha!!! Yay!

Rachel Rowell said...

So sad that I didn't drive by this {sulk}

I assume you did a similar sign for all your boys when they came home from missions right?

Madame Palmkey said...

Oh THAT is what happily ever after looks like! I was wondering. Happiness isn't happiness unless you're wasting plastic! Lurve it!

Laura said...

where is this? someone tell me!

Kara said...

YESSSSSS!!!!

Andrea said...

i just think it's kinda plain, no embelleshments or flowers or ribbons. maybe next year?

Tiffany said...

TAMN - You have 999 followers. You should totally do something extra special for or in honor of the 1000th follower!

Brittney said...

It was on University Parkway. It was awesome.

Jules AF said...

I've never been more sad that I don't live in Provo anymore. NOT FAIR!

Unknown said...

Haha. I totally drove past that. While they were putting it up.

Breanne said...

This is hilarious! I pass this bridge every day on my way to work, and there is always something written in cups. Way to go!

Anonymous said...

I wish I knew where this was... looks kinda like Utah County from what I can see. But, I know people REALLY like to decorate the fence right by Lagoon in Farmington too. Either way, I'm impressed you got such a great picture while driving and taking care of the twinsies. You truly are a super mom slash wife!

Asenath said...

I saw this when I was driving home and it made me SO happy! :) :) :)

Shannon said...

I always loved that stuff when I was at BYU. It always made me laugh. I am so happy you actually did that in real life. You just get funnier and funnier.

Mindy said...

You know I got in a car wreck trying to read that, don't you?

Since it's something for you guys, it made my totaled car and broken collar bone worth it!

Little Lovables said...

that' so cute!! did you shoe polish his car too, or is that just a texas thing?

Kate said...

I saw this while I was driving today and almost died laughing!

Kristina said...

That has to be the overpass on University driving from State Street down into Provo. That is so flipping awesome I wish I had seen it! I probably would've crashed.

Sarah Steele said...

I totally saw this with my hubby when we were driving back from Costco! But now what am I supposed to do for his b-day next month? I can't copy the "write your name in the fence on the bridge over University Parkway" again. It's soooo yesterday...

Unknown said...

Is it sad that I wanna do this?! It always looks like so much fun. I am a cheese ball.

Goob said...

Oh my gosh, I'm just like you, I totally love to do the little, understated, things to show my love.

Lori said...

Awesome!!! What a creative idea.

Jess said...

Wow! That's all the comes to mind... Wow!

Katie said...

I SAW that this morning!!! In real life!! Before I even saw it here on your super awesome blog.... and I thought to myself "that TAMNers... she's the best" and I loved being the FIRST to be in on your awesome birthday surprise.

Linnea said...

I just drove past this. I hadn't even seen this blog post yet. I burst out laughing and came home and went straight here.

Tara : Damon : Ellis : Hudson said...

ha! i just saw that about an hour ago too! and i did a double take.. well... into the rear-view mirror.

Katie said...

Man, I wish I was back in Provo right now. You are just the best wiffums ever!

Frog Prince Las Vegas said...

I've never wanted to live in Utah more than I do at this moment.

I may just drive up from Vegas tonight just for the opportunity to witness a modern day miracle.

Ashley said...

I don't wanna be a bummer, but I think you should know. I drove by this twice and I saw some people taking down the cups the first time. Later, they were back up again. Who would do that to JJWT? TAMN...YOU are seriously so dedicated to Jay Jay Double-you Tee and so IN LOVE to put the cups up in the FIRST PLACE and then fix them when malicious walker-byers took down the "y" and some other cups. OMG. Who would do that to JJWT? Anyway, I totally admire your persistence!!!

Unknown said...

So glad you took out other peoples cups spelling "Welcome Home Elder" JJWT's Birthday is so much more important than an RM.

stillclueless said...

Too, too beautiful! You did it!!!

Katey said...

I totally saw this while i was driving around yesterday and thought of you!!

Anonymous said...

I sure hope those are still there tomorrow b/c I NEED to go see it.

Julie A. said...

My husband and I saw this on the way to the cheap theater. So funny! It was missing some cups when I went by though. :(

MW said...

I'm so jealous! Our overpass has a sign wired to it saying, "please do not put cups in the chain link." No kidding.

Maren Hansen said...

You should win best blog for this one.

Janice said...

I'm so on the next plane from TN to see this, so make sure it is still up! You TAMN are AMAZING!

Laura Jensen said...

I saw that on my back from the gym today and was SERIOUSLY so moved at your thoughtfulness. I'm sure that JJWT's big day was made all the more happy by having that display.

Mel said...

Wow. I so wish I hadn't moved from Utah just so I could see this in person.

Sarah said...

I SAW that and it made my day. Way to go for being such a fabulous wife!

jennifer said...

Oh my heck. That is so Utah.

Dianna said...

Great job on the spelling and punctuation!

Unknown said...

SO ORIGINAL!!!

MarcyG. said...

I'm laughing! I saw this yesterday and was thinking who the crap is JJWT? Oops sorry to offend. Can you believe I didn't know who JJWT was? Crap.

Kami said...

THAT IS THE MOST HILARIOUS THING EVER! It took me a while to figure out where it is ... but it's that hill on University between Orem and Provo, right? And that's the Albertson's shopping center in the background? My hubby's going down to campus this evening to help a professor set up some computers or something. I hope it's still up. I'm jealous of Renny.

This is probably my favorite post ever.

Heidi said...

Shouldn't Micah and Steve have already picked their eternal companions by now??? I mean seriously, how long does that TAKE?!!!

sam and kyrsten said...

oh my heck this is hilarious. i love it.

motivated said...

Ah hahahahaha! I love it! Thanks for making me laugh today. :) First time yet today!

Humanist mom said...

That is so not tacky or cliche. Nice work.

Cecily said...

Haha! I just saw that on the interstate today! :) Happy Bday to JJWT!

Allison and Mason: said...

Oh my word... this just made you so legit. Not that you weren't before... but you are actually going public with this. Whoever you are... you have just crossed the official line of hilarity.

I haven't laughed out loud like that in a long time. I wish I would have seen this. I would have seriously caused an accident because of my shock.

Chris said...

I saw that on my way to work. I just about died laughing while I drove up the hill.

Sarah F said...

you are the best Wife In Zion (WIF) ever, TAMN!

Sarah said...

reallly makes me miss the UC

Lili said...

TAMN, how do you do it? Over a year of going strong with the Uh-MAZE-ing blog posts.

The ORR Family said...

PEERRRFFFecT!

Helena said...

Whoa. I hadn't even heard of your blog back then, but I remember driving by and seeing that! Crazy...
