Badabing!

Okay team. Here is an update on the wonderful, most thrilling lives of the Moedl's.

My semester is just about over- only one more day to go! Then I get a two week break and then its back to school for my final semester! Graduation can't come any sooner! Very excited. We have a few trips planned for after graduation and I just hope we can really do all of them! So I have been fairly busy with school, work, and trying to get a business up and running. Things are coming along good with that. Whittney and I are going down to Utah in 2 weeks to sell our products at a Women's Expo with some of my family! I can't wait, but I have a lot to do before then! We just got our business cards... and we may have bought a little more than we will ever use but I'm happy about them. I'll let you know when our sites are complete! I just finished reading The Last Song. I loved it. It was sad, like all Nicholas Sparks books, but it was also happy. The movie was really great too, I was impressed with Miley Cyrus. Both made me cry, but I loved them! I need a new book to read so any suggestions would be fab. Lastly, I am so freakin excited for warm weather. I am sick of these teasing games- it will be sunny one day and then snowing the next. Just give me spring! I can't wait for swimmers, shorts, and sunshine!

Mr. Daniel is doing well. He works all the time, poor guy. But he got a new video game so that is keeping him plenty happy. He got a new "shmaga"...(I have no idea how it is spelled but that is how its pronounced...I think). It is something like a scarf but good to wear in the desert, as a terrorist, or a military person. I dunno, but he thinks its incredibly cool. I came home the other day and he was playing his dragon slaying video game wearing tight sweat pants, a tank top that says, "Ask Me If I Care" and his shmaga. It was hilarious and I only wish I would have taken a picture. I'm sure it will happen again tho, so I will be better prepared with a camera next time. He is missing his friends- they all moved away, and he only has Whittney and I to hang out with. I can't tell if he is sick of us talking about fabric, disney channel, and gossip girl yet but he's been a good sport. He got to go visit his buddies Matt and Levi a few weekends ago, which was good, but I think he needs a big time campout with all his friends real soon.

Here are a few pictures of our lives lately:
First- pictures from Macbeth, which consumed my life this last semester.


I was a witch double, so I got to hang out underneath the stage and drag dead bodies down.


That is me in the white dress on the end.

I said forever ago that I would post a pic of our new car that is not so new anymore, but here it is. What a trusty vehicle.

We went to a MADISON LIGHTS concert the other night. The drummer (second one from the left) is our friend from work. They are REALLY good!



My friendypoo Steph got back from her mission just a little bit ago and came to visit me! YAY! We got friendship shirts.

Shirtless in a Crowd

So I have quite a few things I want to blog about but because I don't have a lot of time I thought I would just share my most embarrassing moment. This is fresh on my mind because it happened to me just yesterday. Here it is: I was at school for rehearsal of Macbeth. I am a witch double in the play and get to drag dead bodies down to hell. Very Cool. But my costume for this consists of black tights, a black longsleeve turtle neck leotard, and a gigantic dress like thing that is so huge that it looks like a tree or something. It is awesome but very hard to walk in. I had a lot of tech stuff I was running around doing before the show so I was only wearing my leotard and some sweatpants. It is longsleeved, turtle necked, and black so no big deal right? Wrong. As I reentered the theatre they were testing the lights. Out sitting in the audience, was the entire tech crew, the directors, half the cast, and then just a bunch of people there to watch. They changed the lights to the black lights and I just kept doing my work in front of everybody and walking back and forth until some wonderful girl jumped up and grabbed me. Apparantly the black light made my leotard 100% see thru. And I'm not talking like just a little bit see thru- I mean it looked like I wasn't wearing anything except for my G's and a bra. I looked down and so clearly saw my underwears that for a split second I thought I forgot a shirt. So all 50 or so people saw me like that and I have to live with the shame. I tried to play it off, but without success because I was incredibly embarrassed.

DROID DOES

My parents came to visit a few weekends ago. It was awesome. I loved having them here. We saw Avatar, which was really good. Dan decided its a mix between Pocahontas and Fernguly, which I would say is an accurate description.

Last weekend, our friend Matt came up from Salt Lake and stayed with us for a few days. We went shooting, watched a dumb movie, and ate a lot of junk. I'm so glad he came up, I know Dan misses him and it was good for the boys to have some guy time.

Our cute lil nephew Sky was blessed this last Sunday. He is adorable. It was really great for Dan to be a part of that. And, really fun to hang out with Dans family!

I live at school. I'm assistant stage managing Macbeth and also am an extra in it (this is for a class). It is a lot of fun, but a lot of time. I'm at school 6 days a week and sometimes from 9am to 11pm. Its tough, I miss my husband and friends. BUT, its going to be a really amazing show!! Lots of blood. I feel bad for Dan because I get stressed out so easily nowadays, but I have decided at least once a week I have to do something for me, that has nothing to do with school. It has helped a lot.

Whittney and I are starting a business together!!! It will hopefully be up and running very soon. It is called JUNE. We're selling things we make. We will let everyone know when the website is completed. Whittney is amazing at it, and has really cute stuff to sell. I have a few things, but as soon as this semester is over I will have more!

We got a new car! Unfortunately my car completely broke down a few weeks ago (while I was driving to school--not fun). Then about 2 weeks later Dan's car stopped working so great. That is what I call unlucky. Anyway, we were able to get a new car- a silver MAZDA 6. We love it. I will post pics as soon as I get around to taking some. I have to be careful not to speed in it because I'm not used to having a car that goes over 55mph on the highway. teehee teehee.

I am drinking strawberry kiwi juice right now. It is really hitting the spot. So delicious. I have been drinking too much soda lately.

I'm reading the Confessions of Georgia Nicholson series again because the TENTH ONE JUST CAME OUT. I'm very very excited about it. If you haven't read these books, YOU SHOULD. They are incredibly easy reads and so so hilarious. I laugh out loud on nearly every page. They are about a 14 year old british girl Georgia, and her growing up. She is so funny. Love them.

WHERE IS GOSSIP GIRL? Is it back on yet? I haven't seen anything for it. I am so not okay with this, as Gossip Girl is my happy place.

Welp, thats all folks. Holla.

Tis The Season To Be Jolly!!

Well this has been a really fun holiday break! I had two week off of school for Christmas and New Years and now I head back on Wednesday. (VERY depressing) But it was a blast. We spent Christmas with Dan's family in Ririe. We watched a Muppets Christmas Carol Christmas Eve and played Rockband the majority of Christmas Day. We got to open presents with Dan's neices Christmas morning, which was great... and hilarious. Every single present they opened, they would scream in excitement and say, "I have wanted this my entire life!!" It cracked me up. I LOVE Christmas time and am so bummed it's over! This was the first Christmas I spent without my parents and brothers and sisters, so that was really sad for me but it was awesome to get to be with Dan's amazing family!

SNUGGIES

We stayed here for New Years. Dan and I had to work during the day but got the night off. We went to Whitt's parents house and had a little partay with Whitt, Ryan, Whitts sister Kaylee, Ryan's Brother Travis and his wife Jenay, and Ryan's sister Shelby. We played the Wii, Guitar hero, Pictionary, and Around the World ping pong. Which is so much fun. You have to run around the ping pong table and hit the ball when its your turn and if you miss it, your out. The last person in gets to hit everyone else in the back with the ping pong ball. It was super funny. Anyway, we had enough food to feed a small country which was fabulous.

Rexburg? Really? Are you SURE?

Yesterday I had one of those moments where I just wanted to kick myself. My good friend from Texas, Olivia, is getting married! Her bridal shower was yesterday and it was at her aunts house. I was so excited, got all ready and headed on to the address Olivia gave me. I don't know my way around Rigby very well so I had her give me specific directions. I found the broulims and Maverick located on Main st. that I was suppossed to be near but the street to turn on didn't exist. I called Dan, who used to live in Rigby, and he tried to help me but he had never heard of that street and couldn't find it online anywhere. I drove in circles for an entire HOUR trying to find a house on a street that was nowhere in the whole city. I talked to Olivia's aunt and she told me to go to the Maverick and she would come meet me there. I went to the Maverick right as Dan called me back. Turns out that road ISN'T in Rigby... it's in REXBURG. I WAS IN THE WRONG CITY. wow, how embarrassing. I guess we never really talked about what city it was in. I knew she had family in Rigby so I guess I just assumed. She lives in Rexburg, so she rightfully assumed I knew it was in Rexburg. The weirdest part is that there is a broulims and a maverick on main street in BOTH places. Well the story ends with me missing the entire bridal shower and having to just head back home. How stupid do I seem now?!

The shine of it has caught my eye...

Thanksgiving was quite the adventure. Dan and I headed down to Utah the Sunday before and stayed with my parents for a few days. Then we loaded the whole family up and went down to St. George to spend Thanksgiving with my aunt and uncle and grandparents. It was such a nice vacation. We ate delicious food nonstop and went shopping a ton. I went Black Friday shopping for the first time ever- it was hilarious. I couldn't believe how many people were at walmart at 5 in the morning. It was insanity, we couldn't hardly push our cart around. But it was worth it- we got some excellent loot. Oh and also... I cut my bangs while I was down there! Actually, my sister did the actual cutting of the hair. I have been wanting to do it for a while but I was too nervous. But my sister and I just decided to do it. It's a nice change without cutting or dying my hair. Anyway, all and all a very fun Thanksgiving.

Erin won at Settlers for the first time, so we had to document it.
Erin's little girl, Hailey. So precious.
On the way down to St. George, my little sister thought it would be a good idea to hit me in the face. Luckily, I got a bloody nose. (please ignore the fact that I look bald and terrible)
Cute cheese face!
Thanksgiving Day!!

BLACK FRIDAY


My sis-in-law Tamara wanted to get a new laptop. There was a killer deal at Best Buy so we went there at 9 Thanksgiving night. The line was INSANELY long, and they only had 5 laptops. We knew we wouldn't be able to get one, and we didn't want to have to wait all night for nothing. So we went over to walmart, found that they too had some awesome laptop deals and got in line. Luckily we got to wait inside. Dan and my sister Jessie came over to hang out with us. We entertained ourselves with catch phrase most of the night. Dan and I weren't planning to buy anything initially but turns out we are easy pushovers when it comes to deals. We got a new laptop and some fun toys like ROCKBAND. We were there ALL night long from 9pm to 7am. It was absolute mayhem at 5 when the sale began. Every single aisle was completely full of people. We had all our stuff in 15 minutes and then waited in line for an hour and a half. Even though we got zero sleep, it was totally worth it!

Look at the handsome men in my fam!



New Moon


I haven't yet had a chance to talk about New Moon. I saw it at midnight when it came out with Whitt and her little sister Emily. I loved it. I thought they did a really good job at following the book, they only changed a few things. I have to admit that Jacob was a hottie in the movie and his bod was def better than Edwards. I still think Rob Pattinson is hoooottt and I like Edward better, even in the movie. He is just Edward and there is no beating that. I wish the scene at the Volturi was longer because it was awesome. I love Dakota Fanning. I also think Jessica is hilarious and they got the perfect actor for that role. I just want to go watch it over and over. I was impressed with the movie- it was much better in quality, acting, special effects, etc, than the first movie. Now we just have to wait patiently for Eclipse to come out!

PS: Don't you think Edward looks way better in this picture? He should have had this going on in the movie.
