Gotta love the tags!!!
Jennine you were right I do enjoy these..... I got tagged and here is what I have to do: I have to go to my pictures and in the 4th folder I have to find the 4th picture and here it is.


This was a picture of our anniversary breakfast. Curtis is such a romantic, he refused to tell me where he was going to take me. He is so big on suprises and I LOVE suprises. He took me to the Hilton downtown Salt Lake. It was an amazing celebration and we had so much fun not having to worry about schedules, we just did whatever we wanted when we wanted... with the exception of our schedules massage!!! Love you babe!
I now tag:
Brooke, Tiki and Doll

OOPS HOLD IT......
My beautiful sister in law reminded me that I completely spaced on the second part of this tag. I have to share six quarky things about myself.

1. I think I am the least frugal person out of my whole family. I group up in a household where the Happenings book was what ruled our activities. I also inherited a love for clothes, mostly the kind I can't afford. On occasion I will splurge on something if I can't stop looking at it and justifying the hours I would have to work overtime to pay for it.

2. I am a cereal-holic. I love a bowl of cereal right before bedtime. The only bad thing is I HATE drinking the milk. Curtis always gets mad when I dump it down the sink.

3. I am like a bird when I eat food. I pick, pick and pick at my meals all day long. So instead of eating 3 meals a day I eat more like 15 snacks a day. At work I am the one who has a filing cabinet dedicated to satisfy my munchies

4. When I think something is extremely funny I laugh so hard that no one can even try to interpret what I am trying to say through my laughter. And as an added embarassment I end up crying half the time because I just can't stop laughing even if it is something extremely stupid. Depends on my mood

5. I love my TV shows: Monday: Chuck and Hereos Tuesday: 90210 and Priveledged Wednesday: Pushing Daisies Thursday: The Office. Dont worry I am not a complete couch potatoe I do my homework with the TV in the background:)

6. I am not a massive clean freak but when it comes to making the bed I am obsessive compulsive. As soon as the sheets come out of the dryer I spend probably about an hour making it perfect, and then after our extra sheets are washed I am super particular in how they get folded before they go back to the closet. The crazy thing is, is that I don't make the bed everyday I only really care when everything is crisp and clean.

FALL has finally shown its face!

Today was such a beautiful day. I was so frustrated when it snowed last week, seriously Mother Nature completely skipped over fall. To my surprise, as I was taking my LONG commute home I noticed how truly beautiful Utah is. The Wasatch Mountains had over night turned into a fiery red and reflected stunningly across the valley. It was a perfect fall day today, the temperature cool enough to the skin that jackets were optional. How lucky we are to live is such a magnificent place!!! I just wish the snow can hold off for a little while longer.

Vegas BABY!!!

So last week Curtis' uncle needed a rhino type machine transported down to their home in Vegas. Curtis and I decided to take advantage of the opportunity. It was the perfect chance to reboot the burned out mind and spend sometime with my honey.... Not to mention the shopping! My two favorite stores, Zara and H&M, are in Vegas and I couldn't resist that temptation. I just simply can't believe how trashy Vegas is. The men and women who stand on the street corners flapping the nudy cards trying to get absolutely ANYBODY to take them. Not to mention the drive-by billboards with naked ladies hardly covering up. It just makes you sick to think about how trapped people get n that town. Sex and money.... there you go. It was fun to see the sites and visit the strip (again minus the nudies) and I wouldn't have wanted to do it with anyone other than Curtis. I got to say In and Out Burger really isn't all ts talked up to be. Yeah its cheap and its OK i guess but honestly I don't get it!! The best part of the trip was to finally met more of Curt's family that lives down there. I absolutely loved spending time with them and am so grateful they let us stay in their beautiful home. There pool had a zip line.... A ZIP LINE!!! How awesome is that? What happens in Vegas, absolutely does not stay in Vegas! Oh yeah and I guess this is the first time I have posted any pics of my dark hair. Its different and freaked me out at first but I like it.

One Last Summer Bash

Over Labor Day weekend Curtis and I took my brother JR and his wife Kristi to the One Last Summer Bash. It was supposed to be this big awesome party with like 7 bands playing and the highlight of Augustana. It was fun to spend time with JR and Kristi and hillarious to watch some of the perfomers particularly, Love You Long Time. If you ever have a chance to see them perform I highly recommend you do so mostly for entertainment purposes. They use a lot of old school sounds with extremely cheesy lyrics. Such as "I hope you choke and die.... swallow.... and die" and "I got steps in my fade and a brand new tape in my boom box, in my boom box" it was AWESOME!!! Needless to say we were even more excited to see Augustana more than anything. They were so great! Even better live!

LARRICK!

Jack and Larrick sitting in a tree!!! A couple of weeks ago our friends, the Bush's, went out of town and had us watch over their dog Larrick. Jack has found a new love/ best friend. Suprisingly enough she has more energy than Jack so it was a lot of fun watching the 2 of them play. I no it is pretty gross to see all of the drool on the window but if you can look past that you will see just how cute they are together!



A day to remember




I know I am a little late to express my gratitude to our country men and women but I was looking over some of my pictures and figure any day is a good day to remember. I remember September 11th, but not as great as I wish to. It was my Sophmore year in high school, I remember it was rare when I would eat breakfast at the table. On this particular morning I had done just that. I was eating a bowl of Lucky Charms and watched the Twin Towers burn. I remember hearing the reporters frantically trying to make sense of what was going on. I just didn't get it! I made it to school and even then it was all that I heard in the halls. In gym class I remember Ms. Dutcher telling us about the Pentagon and the other plane. It just didn't make sense again. It is a shock today to think that that was seven years ago. I am so grateful for the brave men and women who serve our country and have sacrificed so much to maintain our freedoms. Not just today but everyday past and present. Thank you!!
