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 Possibilities are Endless!

I feel like I am such a lazy blogger these days. I enjoy blogging so I have a way to document us but sometimes it is just hard to keep up with it. I am renewing my efforts and adding that goal to my list: Blog More.

Dan says I have a really good KIP impression. You know Kip, from Napolean Dynomite? That is so sweet of him, and he is right, of course. "You're just jealous Napolean because I get to sit at home chatting with hot babes All. Day. Long." ...Told you I was good.

Last night we went bowling. It was fun, but I really sucked. I am a really inconsistant bowler. Actually maybe not so inconsistant as just plain bad, but every now and then I get lucky and have a really good game. Last night we put bets on it. If I won I got a 30 minute massage. If Dan won, I have to somehow incorporate the phrase "The possibibilities are endless" into every phone converstation I have all day Monday at work. I obviously lost, so Monday will be a very funny day especially considering my job is 90% phone calls.

I never did document our Holiday Season so even though Christmas feels like forever ago, we had such a great time I must still write about it. We went up to Idaho to spend the holiday with Daniel's family. It was great to see everyone and so fun to spend time with them. We watched White Christmas (one of my favs) on Christmas Eve and then patiently waited for Santa to come. Or not so patiently... I woke up at 7 and was too excited I couldn't go back to sleep. I laid there and laid there til I finally couldn't wait anymore and had to wake Dan and his sister up. I'm like a child I know but I just LOVE Christmas morning. We all got spoiled and then had a delicious Christmas breakfast that Michelle made. mmmmm. The rest of the time was spent playing games and getting to see a bunch of family. It was quite a jolly time and I'm glad we got to go up there!

New Years. We are partiers. Our friend Dave As Well came down and we played games, they woke me up at 11, and we rung in the new year with some Martinelli's and jumping up and down. It was very exciting and should have been televised.



 


like I said... partiers

 

After New Years I'm always a little sad because I have to wait a full year for Christmas season again. Why does it only happen once a year? That should be changed. :) 

 "Peace Out." (Kip voice again).

What Up 2012

It is a rainy rainy day. I lurrrve it. It is a perfect day because Dan and I plan on doing absolutely nothing all day but hanging out with eachother. We do not get enough of those days!

It is also a good time to document my 2012 goals so far. I'm sure I will add on more as I think of them but here they are:

1. Make dinner more often! Dan is too good to me and makes dinner almost every night. He is a great cook and I love his food, but I want to give him a break and cook for him sometimes. Plus I need to get better because it is embarrassing how dumb I am in the kitchen.
2. Save more money! Always a good goal.
3. Buy a house! I can't wait and I really hope we are able to do it this year.
4. Read more books! There are tons on my list including Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close, the Matched series, The Lucky One and the new Sophie Kinsella book coming out (!!).
5. Work out. I have been so lazy... like always. I really want to get on a routine where I am working out weekly. I just feel so much better when I work out- I eat and sleep way better too.
6. Read the Book of Mormon. Dan and I have a contest with this one. We decided we have to finish it by Feb. 29th. If we do we both get prizes! I've got a long way to go but I really love reading it!
7. Sew more. I love it and I need to do it!
8. Stop putting everything off. I always find that when I find something I want to do or make I end up saying, I will do it when I have more time or when I have a house or blah blah blah... I just need to knock that off and start getting things done. There is always a reason to not do something, so I need to make time to do it anyway!
9. Play guitar. I bought a guitar a few years ago, took a class, and now haven't played it over a year. That is dumb of me.
10. Try something new. Whether it is eating something new, going to a new place, making something, or just learning something new, I need to step out of my comfort zone and do more.
11. Be better. I need to find more ways to help others and better myself. Always something I want to be working on, but life gets in the way and I don't always try so hard.

So here is to a new year! It is going to be a GREAT one for us Moedl faces I just know it.

Under the Mistletoe (shorty, with you)

911 911 911 away. oh how much fun it is to ride in an ambulance all day! Hey!

That is the version of Jingle Bells my primary class has been signing to me each Sunday. I wish I remembered the rest of the words because it is pretty funny.

So it is one right now and I am still lying in bed. I have the worst sore throat ever, you know the kind where you can hardly swallow and talking takes too much effort to deal with? That is where I am at. I hate that! The good news: I am going to watch a serious chick flick today and love every second of it.

Just finished an amazing series- The Maze Runner. I thought it got better and better as it went on. It is about a boy who wakes up in this maze and can't remember anything about his life. There are a bunch of other boys who have been there for a while and none of them remember anything either. They have to work together to survive and all they know is someway, somehow, they have to solve the maze. Sound intense? It is. Read it.

Dan is really doing so great at his new job. I'm so proud of my sweet nugget for being such a hard worker and so good looking at the same time. I went to a work party, it was saweet. I couldn't find a dress I loved so I decided to make one, and it actually turned out to be one my favorite things I have made! Maybe I am bragging but whatever.

My sister and I ran in a 10K for my work. I wasn't prepared and it was kind of hard. Really fun tho, I am glad we did it. I wish that I would keep up with my running so when I do decide to run a race, it isn't a near death experience for me. I say that, but I haven't ran since that race, not even once. Oh well, laziness brings such joy to this life.

We went to St. George for Thanksgiving. All my cousins came down too so it was totally baller. The trip included some football, golf, black friday shopping (where I scored a sweet storage ottoman... I made my lil sister run and fight the masses to get it for me and she ended up hitting a lady in the head with it... so proud), minute to win it games, swimming, and food. So much food. It was such a fun trip- I love getting together with my whole family.

Now that the Christmas Season is upon us, my fam went up to Temple Square and checked out the lights. It is gorgeous up there. Christmas brings such a peaceful feeling, especially on Temple grounds. We ended the adventure with dinner at Tucannos. It was such a nice way to end our night- with pure gluttany. Seriously, I ate until I almost died. Vair Vair enjoyable.

It snowed the other day. It hasn't really snowed a lot so far this year, but I just love it. Let's be honest, if it snows too much more I am going to hate it, but for now the light snow every now and then is so pretty and makes me feel all homey. I love this time of year. I put Christmas up before Thanksgiving because I was too excited to wait, but now it is really Christmas time so it is wonderful. Plus I get to listen to my Groban Christmas CD every second and no one can tell me to turn it off. Man that guy can sing. And speaking of the great JOSH, did anybody see him on The Office as Andy's little brother? That was really funny. Anyway- I still have so much Christmas shopping to do. There are only 10 more days and I am sort of freaking out. I did however get my brother's present and it is so funny. I can't say what I got him in case for some weird reason he decides to read my blog, but just know, it is a winner.


Now I would like to entreat you to a billion pictures documenting our every move. All of the Thanksgiving trip pics are from my wonderfully talented cousin Katie, not me... all my pictures come from my phone.

OCTOBER... is already over? Wowza mates, that went fasty fasty. It has been quite the busy month for us Model's. I mean Moedl's. Dan started his new job, which is awesome, and so far so great. He is doing loans and has been super busy licensing and training as well as starting a new semester. October happens to be the busiest time of the year at my job so I have been working long long hours. We have learned that while going to bed at 9pm may be totally lame, it is def a necessity. I can't complain though, we have been getting our party on too, and playing a lot with da fam and friengs. ALSO, fall has finally shown it's beautiful face and my boots, scarves, and jackets have made there way to the front of my closet. Oh I love this time of year. Pumpkin treats and hot apple cider are the only things I will be eating for the next month. Here is documentation that we are fun people:

My freakin cute cousin BROOKIE DOOS got married to WILL WALK. Love them, love her dress.

Bridesmaids. So silly.

Dan the Man, Taylor's wife or whatever, Taylor

sparklers are fun to write your name with.

Cousin lovin. Brooke's bridal shower!



All the girlies at the shower. This shower was suppper fun. We succeeded in embarrasing Brooke beyond belief which is always the goal.



Annual Family Pumpkin Patch Outing.

Halloween. Any excuse to dress up is good with me. Dan is a cute bunny and I am a leprechaun. I told you that in case you are dumb and couldn't tell from this picture.

Harry Potter, Taylor Swift, Fairy Princess, Pirate, Witchy Witch. SO cute.

Halloween Partaaaayyyyy. We sure know how to get down with our bad selves. Delicious food at this here party and a very spooky fog machine.



Us two hardcore lucky ducklings at the CELTIC THUNDER Concert. If you don't know of this group, please do yourself a favor and look them up on the You Tube. They are an Irish singing group of dreams. Seriously I love them.

 We will now be rewarding ourselves with a trip to Vegas with some pals to see the Boise State game. The game is because I love my husband so dearly, but I really intend to getting a new pair of boots. Possibly similar ones to these.... oooooohhhh, awwwww...

The Greatest Show On Earth...

Get Fired Up! It's the greatest show on earth! ...

Dan and I went to the Ringling Brothers Circus tonight with my fam. I think I was more excited then my neices. There were tight rope walkers that rode bikes across the tight rope, acrobats that did all kinds of flips over each other, trapeze artists that blew my mind, beautiful horses and ZEBRAS that did spins, and a circle of at least 12 tigers all around one guy that walked on thier hind legs and did tricks. And the elephants. Oh the elephants were so awesome. They balanced on tiny little cup things. One even did a hand stand. I wanted to be the girl riding the elephants and standing on their backs.

It made me think of Water for Elephants and I just wanted to go take care of one of the elephants and teach it tricks. Which PS. I loved that book and that movie. So good. I wonder if circus life is still like that.

We took tons of pictures on Dan's phone but for some reason none of them saved. boo. Oh well, best night ever!   

Texas Forever

I am eating Peanut Butter M&Ms right now. They are really hitting the spot. mmm.


This last week we went to TEXAS! It was fabity fab fab! I haven't been back for 5 years so I was SO excited! Our Evans buddies live in Corpus now so we went to visit them! Oh I love it there. I would love to move back some day, but I don't think I would be able to convince the boy I live with. We went to San Antonio for two nights but just stayed down town so I wasn't able to go up to my old stomping grounds, but it was just good to be back in the heat and beautiful south. and it was the BEST EVER to get see Whittney and Ryan. I miss them so so much and can't wait til they move here. (they don't have a choice). Last minute, a bunch of our other friends decided to come down too so it ended up being quite the partayyy! We went to Schliterbaahn Waterpark, The Alamo, the beach, yummy restauants, annnd I got to see Whitt's amazing boutique she works at! It was the best.



Ryan just wanted to go get some ice cream...





we made up a sweet game called CORNCCI- mix between corn hole and bocci. Vair fun game.





Our sand turtle RoseMaria




Breakfast in the ghetto. It was DELICIOUS.





We beat the boys SOOO bad at corncci. Go Team Texas Forever!





We ordered calzones and they brought out the biggest things I've ever seen.



I HEART RYAN and WHITTNEY. I HEART TEXAS.
