Pound It

Our friends Ryan and Whittney came in town last weekend. Whitt works for an airline so they get to come visit a lot which is awesome because I hate living so far from them! We went and ate at SMASH BURGER- new fav- and stayed up way too late playing games. We played KINECT which is the new gaming platform on XBOX. It's like the Wii but you don't need controllers. In short, it is AMAZING. I love it and must have one. My friend Stephanie Lonas came in town also. It was so great to see her, it has been forever! We went out to eat with Stephanie Marcum and caught up. It was a fun night. We went to Carrabas and I had this chicken that was so good. It had sundried tomatoes, goat cheese, and this lemon sauce. Mmmm I need to eat it again. Delicious. Anyway, they are both preggo so it was fun to hear their stories and get excited for them to have little babies!! I love having friends come in town!


HALLOWEEN. I know its Thanksgiving now but I haven't shared our Halloween events yet so here we are. We worked all day then came home and Dan, our friend John and I dressed up as Ryan, Liam, and Margret McPoyle from It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. We looked absolutely disgusting. I loved it. We went to a party with some friends up in Salt Lake. No one knew who we were, they just thought we were big time freaks. It probably didn't help that we tried to stay in character the entire night so we just came off as really creapy.

My family had a halloween party on Sunday so we all went up there in costume and had some really tasty treats. Dan and I decided we should probably go as something else so I went as a camper (I wore PJs and had a pillow and sleeping bag attached to me... comfy...) and Dan was just white trash. My sibs and cousins had some great costumes, it was a great night.

TAGGED

Potter Pants tagged me to do this so do it I shall...

1. If your husband was out of the picture what would you have named your children? (If you don't have a child, then hypothectically)
No children but don't worry I have thought about this way more than I should. For a girl I love the names Evee or Ava. For a boy I love the names Oliver, August, Potter, and Charlie.

2. When do you usually go to bed?
I go to bed usually after 1 or 2. I am seriously like a little kid. It doesn't matter how tired I am, I hate going to bed. I just want to stay up and play.

3. If you could visit anywhere in the world, where would it be?
Right now I would have to say Ireland and Scotland. and Spain. and Italy. and Paris. and London. Lets just say Europe.

4. If you could change one thing about yourself physically, what would it be?
Hmmm... probably my teeth and my skin. Perfectly white teeth and very clear tanned skin. Yeah I could go for that.

5. If you could have one talent that you don't already have, what would it be?
So many things come to mind but I would have to say singing. I would love to have a voice like Lea Michelle. Then I could be famous... and kiss Finn and Puck.

6. If you had your choice, where would you live?

In Godrics Hollow.

7. What material thing is on the top of your "wish list"?
A house. And everything that goes in a house. I heart Ikea.

8. What is one of the dumbest things you have ever done?
Hmmm. High school. Full of dumb descisions. Once I was hanging out with a bunch of guys and they said they would give me ten bucks to drink a glass of salt water. Not wanting to back out of a dare I did it. The salt screwed up my electrolytes and by the time I got home I couldn't see anything and my hearing was going out. I ended up in the ER all night close to seizures. Pretty dumb of me. But hey I got ten bucks out of it....


And now I tag Erin, Tamara, McCall, Marlise, Karalee, and Maribeth. Here are your questions:

1. What is your favorite childhood memory?
2. When you were little what did you want to be when you grew up?
3. Which do you prefer... fruity candy or chocolatey candy?
4. What is your favorite movie to cuddle up, get some snacks, and just watch?
5. How did your husband propose?
6. Are you an early riser or do you prefer to sleep in?
7. Would you rather sky dive or bungee jump?
8. If you could be a movie star or famous book character who would you be?

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.

Shannnty Townnn

Friday night we went to our buddies house and hung out with friends Chase, Dave, Chon, Katie, and my bro Taylor. We went to Greek Fest which turned out to be really funny. We acted like we were standing in line even tho there was nothing in front of us and we got a ton of people to stand in line behind us for a while. It was a good joke. Then we played DOMINION for hours. Literally until 3am. Then possibly out of sheer tiredness we spent the next hour and a half destroying each other. Here is the video. It was honestly hilarious. Sadly I don't have all the videos of everyone getting rocked so you only see all the boys beating up on me. But still funny. It was a good night, I haven't laughed so hard in a long time.

Remember

What do we always say is the most important thing? ...Breakfast.

So Dan and I haven't been doing much. Just being awesome. We are still searching for jobs, which is pretty lame but I have high hopes that something will open up really soon! But the good news is, we get to hang out all the time now! We play Ticket to Ride, Settlers and now Dominion just about every night. I love games! Luckily we haven't gotten sick of each other yet. But if I keep making him watch Glee with me and listen to me talk about June and sewing all the time he might start going to his friends house a lot more. (Although I am convinced that he loves Glee as much as I do now) But here are some pics of our adventures the last few weeks. And keep in mind these are all pics from our phones, so quality is not great. DROID.



Dan started school again. He's my studying boy. He has mostly online classes so thats really nice. Hopefully he will be done about this time next year!

I was fortunate enough to spend a day in the ER. I thought I had appendicitis. Turns out I didn't so hurray. I am incredibly drugged up in this picture and I look great. I had to have a nose thing because the drugs made it hard for me to breath. The video Dan took of me is just pathetic. I kept trying to laugh but could only cry instead and I kept asking if my neck and my head were swollen.
My neice Kaitlyn just started Dance. I thought this picture was absolutely adorable!
We just found these beauties. There are no better games then the Super Mario Bros. I love Mario so much. Who needs Call of Duty crap when you have these to play?

Also, I just found this on Dans phone and I thought I would share because it is the cutest thing ever. Sorry I don't know how to flip it. This is our neice Livia singing I am a Child of God.
