Your Dentist's name is Crentist?

I just realized that I never put our leftover dinner from yesterday into containers. I actually didn't do anything with it, so it is just been sitting in the crock pot for 28 hours. Gross. I am going to gag big time cleaning that up.

Dan and I are sitting on the couch right now watching FACE OFF. This show is awesome. It is all about stage makeup. But crazy cool stage makeup. It is very impressive what they can do with makeup. I really wish I was that talented with makeup. Makeup.

Today Dan and I had dentist appointments so we took the whole afternoon off so we could get some things done as well as have clean teeth. I love getting my teeth cleaned, that silky smooth feeling afterwards is so nice. After that we ran some errands and got some yummy pumpkin chocolate chip bread from Great Harvest. mmmm. I like getting to spend time with my cute guy. I feel like we have been so busy with things lately that I haven't gotten to hang out with just him in a while. It was nice and reminded me why he married me. Because I am awesome and very fun to be around. ;)

Can I just vent for a second? I haven't been shopping in SO long and I am about to explode and spend a billion dollars. Thank goodness for Pinterest. Honestly. I am able to relieve some of my shopping desires by posting a million things to my clothes board and just imagine it is mine. I will say I am very proud of myself. Not that I am a crazy shopper, but I usually can't help but treat myself to a few things a month. Or a week. But we have high hopes of purchasing a home in the next month or so, so my purchases will be only absolute needs until then. Which is a sacrifice I am willing to make! Although, if anyone needs a shopping buddy, let me know. I will talk you into buying everything so I can live vicariously through you.

Speaking of Pinterest, this is what I am going to make soon:

and by soon I mean one day.

So, I may have mentioned that Dan and I are trying to finish the Book of Mormon by the end of February. We have prizes on the line if we are able to complete it. Let me just tell you, I am so going to win. I was really behind but have been playing catch up. There is no way Dan will finish in time, and I am determined to do so. I just re-read that, and I guess I shouldn't be so amped at beating Dan at something that we should both be doing anyway. It's not that I don't want him to finish, because I really do. I just gotta take my wins when I get them. :) But for real, it has been a big blessing in my life. I am not proud to admit this is the first time I've read it all the way through, but it has been super meaningful to me and I have tried really hard to understand what I am reading. Also, it is so interesting and full of hardcore battles. I know that it is true and am so happy we are blessed enough to have these words at our fingertips. #proudtobeLDS


Anyway, this is all for now. One day Dan and I will do more interesting things to make for more interesting reads. Until then, we are incredibly happy watching too much TV and going to bed earlier then most old people. Here's to great times now and super cool things to come!

The Color Yellow

This is a tweet from my friend MB:

Seeing Daniel Radcliffe in person may have been the highlight of my year.

All I'm saying is, something like this has got to happen to me soon. Its just got to.

Changing topics from how I want MB's life... something that I have been hearing a lot lately is how important it is to find the good in life. Find what makes you happy and stay away from things that bring you down. I really like that. What's the point of being negative and complaining about everything? I'd like to think most people are more good than bad so if you look for the good in everything, you're bound to find it. I think this will make you a happy person all around and more fun to be around. I'm going to work harder at this I think.

So on that note: I'm really liking my new job. I work with super cool people and am having a pretty good time :so far. It really helps having a job I enjoy and makes having to wake up insanely early (7:30), much easier.

My boyfriend rocks. He has a full schedule of classes and is in the process of getting a new job. He HATES school and was out of it for so long that I thought it would be tougher going back. But he's getting great grades and is going to make millions one day. Plus, he always makes me dinner (I am a bad wife cuz I don't cook...) and makes me go to bed early so I'm not miserable at work. He is the bestest. And in a few weeks its our 3 year anniversary... WHAT THE WEIRD!? Crazy how fast its gone! again, he is the BESTEST.

Oh my gosh, my friends blogs are so effing cute, they always post cute things they have made around their homes, recipes, and gorgeous pictures. It makes me wish I was more talented in that aspect. So that is my new goal- to use their blogs, copy them, and pretend like I am just as creative.

I can't wait for summer! It is just around the corner and all I see are bright colors. I LOVE summer. I LOVE sunshiny days and sandals. I have big plans for this summer that will include me getting really tan and vacationing big time. Lately it has been snowing for a few hours during the day? WHY? I decided to protest that and will it to be summer by rolling up my jeans, wearing strappy sandals that wrap around my ankles, and a sun hat. It was a REALLLLLY good day. Dear Summer: I am soooo ready for you. I promise I will play outside, go swimming, and be happy if you just show your face.

Tonight my brother is bringing his date over and we will be eating shis-kabobs and playing games. I am muy excited, especially for the food. So I bid thee farewell because I must go get ready.

xoxo,

allyx (kind of like xoxo, gossip girl)

The Couch Potato

Our newest little nephew Colton Levi Tenney has made it here safely and is the cutest little monkey man I've ever seen! I can't get enough of the little guy! Congrats to the Tenney family!

I got a new job. I start next week. I am vair vair excited! There also happens to be a gym in my new place of employment that I will be able to use anytime I want. Which means there is a chance I will start working out again. Hopefully I will motivate myself to do so.

I feel that I am in a funk. (flashes of the Glee episode titled FUNK are going thru my head) Lately I have watched 4 seasons of Bones and my most exciting news is that I just got 20 kills on Call of Duty Black Ops. (which by the way, really is exciting. and yes, its embarrassing but I think I have become more of a gamer than Dan is.) Anyway, I think I need to be doing something better and more fulfilling with my time. There are a few things I would like to make: pillows to match my new bedspread, curtains, some decorations for the walls, and a skirt from this really cute fabric I got forever ago. I also would like to sit down and write out an actual budget for us to follow. And I would like to read some new books. But every day when I wake up, instead of getting going with my day I curl up on the couch for a few hours and watch tv shows. Then I eat and go to work til 10:30. I think my new job (which is 9-5) will help me have more of a constant schedule so maybe I will be able to plan to do other things too. I dunno, how do I motivate myself to not be so lazy? Maybe I should give myself treats when I do something worthwhile... like chocolate.

Something that was very worthwhile is, Dan took me on a date. It was very romantic. There is a movie theater right by our house and all tickets are only 3 bucks. They aren't new releases but they aren't dollar theater movies yet. Also, you can get a large popcorn for 2 bucks, a large soda for 2 bucks, and candy for a dollar! We saw the new Narnia movie which I loved. We got some of everything and ate ourselves silly. It was wonderful.

So this post is kind of all over the place but thats the way it goes. :) :)

Something Wicked This Way Comes

Well time to get coats, boots, and gloves out. Summer has officially gone. It took a lot longer this year for it to cool down around here but the cold has now arrived and I am certain it is here to stay. I am pretty excited to be cozy and autumny. Slash wintery because I think we are going to skip the beautiful fall season and head straight into the depths of constant cold. It even snowed today. I think I am only ready for chilly weather... not snow. But I can't be too picky. I went and got new boots yesterday which has been my only wish so now I am happy. And today has been such a great day. First off I had a great day at work where the time actually passed quickly! Then I had a Pumpkin Spice Forzen Yogurt. MMMMM. It made me shiver for like 20 minutes but it was so good! Tomorrow is $1 ice cream day so I will probably have to get another. Anyway, then I came home and we made cookies, watched Glee, and carved pumpkins! It was a wonderful night!

My brother and sis-in-law, Dane and Tam, made Phineas and Ferb pumpkins. They turned out awesome. Wheres Perry?

My brother Taylor made this Iron Man pumpkin. Isn't it unreal?

Dane did a PHOENIX on his pumpkin which turned out to be totally Bad A. Dan did this cool sun with flames one. My Harry Potter work of art. This is my favorite pumpkin I have done thus far in my life.

Oh Happy Day!

Easy Peasy Lemon Squeezey

Well I haven't updated in a while... my b. But things are going great. Dan and I both have jobs now... hallelujah. I am working for Clear selling 4G internet. Its a full time gig and so far so good. Dan just got a job selling internet tools to real estate agents. So we're both in the sales world. That probably means we'll both become really rich and too good to talk to any of you anymore. So we spend our days either working or schooling then come home too tired to do anything but eat and watch TV. This is what happened when we first got married... and we both got fatter. :)

We did discover a new TV show that I really enjoy. Its called The Big Bang Theory. Pretty hilarious. That adds to my now quite long list of shows I'm trying to follow. I can't help it, I just love too many things. Shout out to DVR and fastpasstv.com for making it possible for me to stop living my own life and to dedicate my time to the lives of those on TV.

So Dan and I have been living in my brothers basement apartment with my other brother. I'm sure one day we'll be big kids and be able to live on our own but now, instead of being crowded and awkward its actually so much fun. My family is so awesome and I love that we get to hang out with them a lot. I am subjected to hours and hours of Modern Warfare on the XBOX which has resulted in Dan thinking my brother is his favorite roommate. But other than that we just play games and eat all the time. Two of my favorite things!

Harry Potter Premier coming so soon and I can hardly wait. I think I have watched the new trailer a thousand times. I get goosebumps just thinking about it. One day we will find out Hogwarts is real as is Dumbledore.

BOOTS. I need boots. I want boots. I must have boots. Tis the season for me to be in love with all boots. I have found some adorable gray ankle boots and some dark tan knee high boots and so many more that I don't know if I can live without. If it rained boots right now I would be overjoyed.

After reading my friends blogs I have realized how happy some things make me. 1. Good Pics. I wish I was better at picture taking. I love looking at beautiful pictures. 2. FALL. Usually the end of summer really depresses me but I have seen so many fall pictures and read about fall treats that all I can think about is pumpkins, apples, and fall leaves. I want some apple cider, a pumpkin candle, and the 1st HP video. and some cute boots and cute jackets. Not too much to ask for right? 3. Sail Boats. Sail boats are pretty and they make me think of boat shoes which I also love. 4. Traveling. 5. Friends. I have awesome friends and most of them don't live very close so I'm thankful for blogs so I can still stalk them.

Word of the Day: Bazinga... meaning "take that" or "gotcha".

La la la.
