Day of Fun

Day of Fun is a new tradition around here. Its name is pretty self explanatory. We devote a day to complete fun and nothing else. My brother Taylor and Dan started it a little while back when they both had Fridays off. Now, whenever we all have the same day off, we have Day of Fun. We go bowling, shooting, shopping (at golf stores cuz I'm with guys), and anything else that is FUN. This last week Dan and I both had Wednesday off and our buddy Chon was in town. Tay had to work but we partied without him. It started out with my favorite burger joint in town. SMASHBURGER...

Then since Taylor couldn't join us, we went to visit him at work and play a little prank on him. Got him good we did. **You may need to click on the pic to see it cuz its not very big.**

After that we played some BLACK OPS and I killed a bunch of fools.



Later that night we went to a movie at the awesome cheap theaters by our house! We saw The Tourist. Which I loved. I guessed what was going to happen at the beginning, but it was still entertaining, plus Johnny Depp is pretty radicool.
Then we played cards and watched Saturday Night Live on Netflix.

Oh what fun we have! Muy bein tradition!

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. :) :)

Hunger Games Cast

Here are my picks for the casting of The Hunger Games movie, schedule to release in 2012. My choices are based on looks alone, not acting ability necessarily. Whatcha think?

ten resolutions for this year:

study and understand scriptures better
go to the temple more often
write down more- journal/blog/etc
work out weekly (I'll work up to daily... maybe...)
save money
go on a date with my boyfriend every week
stay in touch with all my friends that live far away
eat healthier. as in eat three meals a day and stop eating after midnight. (its my favorite time to munch)
audition for local theatre
make more things- anything crafty because it makes me so happy when I do!




ps: i just realized in the last few posts and the pic on top i'm wearing the same sweater. don't judge me... its just a coincidence.

finished 2010 with a bang

VEGAS BABY! We spent the new year down in Sin City. We went with some friends and stayed for the weekend. Our friend Chon hooked us up with a swanky suite at Mandalay Bay. New Years Eve we went down the strip and just partied there for the countdown. It was pretty crowded and insane but it was actually really fun! The hotels along the strip are so cool and just incredible inside. We ate some yummy food, especially at SERENDIPITY. MMMM it's so good. We got frozen hot chocolate for dessert and it did not disappoint...delicious. We also went to a Piano Bar. It was so much fun. Two guys play the piano and everyone can make requests. They'll play whatever requests come with the most cashola. It was pretty funny watching all the drunk people put cash down for songs and then someone else paying for that song to stop. It was great. It was nice to get away and go on vacay with some friends!

Happy Christmas Ron!

I love Christmas. This year we spent the holiday with my family. On Christmas Eve we all went to Mimi's Cafe for dinner and then went to Temple Square to look at the Christmas lights! It was beautiful! Then we all had a sleepover so Santa could come! Christmas day we opened presents, ate tons and tons of food, and just spent time with each other.

Here's the Oborn Clan! For a little Christmas treat we went out and took family pictures! My cousin's wife Katie took all of them and they turned out wonderful! She is such a talented photographer!
