Pictures with my bro before the mish

We ate out A LOT! Olive Garden was a must....

Here we are out at Brick Oven...

We went to IHOP on the day they were giving away free pancakes and DIDN'T have to wait in line :).....

The whole gang at IHOP...

We snuck out of Blake's party to take a picture with the pretty mountains.....

On our way to take Blake to the MTC....

Blake entering the MTC.....

I can't believe it!!

My brother goes into the MTC on wednesday!!!! Time flies! My family flew in friday night and are staying till Thurs morning. Its been fun having them up here. We had a huge party yesterday form my brother. Tons of people crammed in my grandma's house. I am glad people kept coming and going cuz we all wouldn't have been able to fit if everyone came at once.

The only downfall right now, is that my school performance is suffering. These upper level classes are killer. Tests every week, quizes every other day, TONS of reading, papers, assignments, group projects, research (times that by five). I want to shoot myself at times. I can't wait to graduate in the fall. Thats the plan, cross your fingers. I got a scholarship for spring and summer term, so no vaction :/ 

I only have a couple more days to hang out with my brother before he leaves for two years. We are making them memorable for sure. Pictures soon to come (hopefully..I haven't been using my camera) Also, I can't believe my little sister is going to college in the fall. I feel OLD!

Happy Valentines Day!

YAY for breakfast in BED!! :) My sweet husband made me strawberry crepes (my favorite!) He has started a tradition of taking me to go see chick flicks on v-day. We went to go see He is Just Not That Into You, and were forced to share a seat. :/ It was so crowded. Thank goodness we are both small! It was a really good movie though. The weather sucked! It unfortunately snowed which kept us in doors.

Early V-DAY gifts

We got a package in the mail today from Adam's parents. They sent us a very cute card a long with a this dancing love machine man (They said they got it because he looks like Adam) haha I think he kinda does too!! Adam can't quite dance like him though... doesn't stop him from trying haha, he has been dancing around sporadically singing, "I am just a love machine." Thanks in-laws lol.

We went to see's candy and picked out a pound of chocolate today. YUM. I can't wait to dig into it. We also got a couple things of sparkling apple cider.

AND Adam came home this evening with the lovely pink roses! :D
Love the flowers babe!

Haven't quite decided what we are doing for v-day yet. Any ideas? We were going to go stay at Little America and eat their fancy brunch, but didn't want to drop that kind of money right now.

Sexual Harassment

After our sex and gender class was over today, Adam and I met with our group to discuss ideas for our project. Our group liked the idea that Adam and I came up with together the best, so they wanted us to go get it approved from our teacher...
So, Adam and I go up to the teacher and start discussing our idea with her. She looks down at my ring and says, "You're married!!" (Like something wasn't right). I looked at her confused and said, "Ya, he is my husband, pointing over at Adam." She gasped and said with relief, "OH GOOD!!" Then preceded to say, "I saw him touch your butt and I thought it was sexual harassment, and thought I had to intervene and report it." Adam and I started laughing because neither one of us remembered him touching my butt. When you get married, these actions turn into automatic responses. We said that we would try to keep the PDA down a notch. We thought it was hilarious.

Watch out for "Crazy" at Denny's

This is the HUGE line we waited in. The line wrapped all the way around the building. We almost didn't stay because Adam and I both had class at 12:05 and figured it would take more than an hr. and a half. (We arrived at 10:30). I walked up to the front of the line and asked how long those people had been waiting, and to my surprise, they answered 30 min. Adam, Erika, and I decided WHY NOT..the weather isn't too bad and its not everyday you get free food right? So we waited in line which gave Erika and I the chance to catch up since we don't see each other very often, which was nice. Adam ran into one of his good friends and his ex-girlfriend. There were a lot of BYU students hanging out, so it was fun.

However, there was an insane woman in front of us in line (If you look at the picture at the top...she is the lady in the bottom left corner). She was like the line Gestapo. She wouldn't let anyone get by her, who she assumed was cutting or joining their party. I thought there was going to be a smack down at one point. She would get all up in peoples faces. Everyone around us was scared of her...i'm not kidding. The people behind us had a few people joining up in their group and worried the lady would go all crazy on them. So they kept letting people go ahead of them, hoping the lady wouldn't notice when their other friends arrived.

So we get inside and they are handing out coupon booklets. This "crazy" lady pretended she was handing them out to people, and got a huge handful and shoved them in her pocket (TOTAL HYPOCRITE). She even grabbed another handful later. Adam swore she was homeless and that the other lady who was with her had picked her up off the street. Erika actually overheard "Crazy" talking with this other lady...and found out they both came alone...and crazy had invited herself to sit with this other woman. So she was not homeless after all..just Crazy!

One of the boys who was waiting on his other friends went inside to use the bathroom. When he came out he came up to us and said, "Man that crazy lady has got some issues" or something to that extent, not realizing that the lady was right behind him. He turned around because Erika and I were pointing and giving him the signal to stop talking, and realized what had just happened (You should have seen the look on his face). He immediately began saying, "no the OTHER crazy lady"He was totally embarrassed and went back into the bathroom to hide LOL. Luckily right after the incident it was Crazys turn to be seated.

Needless to say, Crazy was the highlight of the day. We couldn't stop laughing. So we were glad we waited in line after all. Adam and I were 30 min late to class but it was no biggie.




Adam hates pictures especially in the morning. What a butt! He pulled down his hood right before Erika took the picture.

You don't know the real Denny's unless you've been in our restaurants lately, experiencing the quality of our new menu items and our service first-hand."

JUST THOUGHT I'D SPREAD THE WORD!!

I couldn't resist...

I was curious to see what our kids might look like in the future. I decided if the child came out too ugly we just wouldn't have children. J/k I do hope though that our first child is a boy. That way if we have a girl she will have an older brother to protect her. We are on like the five year plan though. NO KIDS FOR A LONG TIME! At least that is the plan.

I don't see much resemblance in this fake baby of ours. Oh well he is kinda cute.

Get better soon!!

My poor husband has been really sick since Tuesday. I took him to emergency care and everything. I am surprised I am not sick because the doctor told him that he is really contagious and gave him a note excusing him from school until the middle of next week. This week has been so hard. I miss him! I can't wait till he is better so I can give him some hugs and kisses. He seriously needs that toilet paper contraption. Everyday I come home to a pile of tissues on our table by the couch. I feel so bad for him. He has like every cold/flu symptom...and the worst part of it all is that its so bad that he cannot even sleep through the night. He is constantly coughing up mucus and can barely breath :(

Spoon Me?

Could there be a better name for a yogurt shop? I think not. We tried this out Friday night before we went to Comedy Sports. It is just like Red Mango...meaning muy bien AND its open till 1am FRI & SAT =) "Welcome to the sinfully delicious world of Spoon Me frozen yogurt—minus the sin. Spoon Me is made from fat-free, all-natural ingredients, so while it feels a little bit naughty, you won’t regret it later.

Go on, Spoon Me. You know you want to."

oh p.s. Comedy Sports was way fun. Its just like Who's Line is it anyway.

I did it!

I made my mom's famous Sunday roast. It turned out great :) This cheered me up a little bit after watching the disappointing Chargers game.

Some favorites

Does anyone else love Mimi's Cafe Hot Chocolate? Its pretty dang good. They load a bunch of cream on top. I mainly love the fact that they serve it in a huge cup. It makes me happy cuz I almost feel like I am getting my moneys worth. I mean look...the cup is almost the size of my head..and I have a pretty big head lol. F.Y.I. We tried their bread pudding for the first time and wouldn't recommend it. We wish we would have gotten their apple crisp instead. That is our favorite dessert there.

Another thing I love is that Provo has a dollar theater. Thats one thing CA is missing out on. Saturday after we went out to Mimi's we went to Movies 8 and saw Ghost Town. It was pretty good. I would recommend seeing that a long with Eagle Eye. I really liked that movie and we actually own it now.

Last Night's Cranium Rock Fest

Good, bad, and funny

Old news but good news:
Utah beat Alabama
Chargers beat the Colts
Texas Longhorns beat the Buckeyes
and Adam and I got the same grades this semester all A's and one A-.

Bad news: This semester we are taking four classes together out of our five and thought we would save some money on books. Nope. We spent $700 on books for this semester! I can't imagine how much it would have been if we were taking all different classes.

Funny News: So the weather sucks in Utah right now. It snowed all day today without stopping once! It was so bad that Adam and I got stuck in it on our way to school. Luckily neighbors noticed our predicament as we were trying to shovel our way out of it and helped us get unstuck.

San Antonio Texas

We had such a great time in Vegas! Saying that Phantom was AMAZING is an under statement. The stuff that they do with the stage blows your mind away. I don't want to give anything away for those who would like to see it sometime...so just know its awesome. The strip is a scary place now. Next time we go to Vegas we are going to avoid walking down the strip because they have pole dancers in every hotel/ casino window. We ate at Planet Hollywood the first night and they had a stage in the middle of the casino for some strippers/pole dancers (I felt bad for all the young cheerleading groups that were there). They even had them next to the elevators in our hotel. We stayed at the Mirage. Also, I think that the buffets have gone down hill. We ate at the Winn because it got the best reviews and it was really expensive and not that great ( We were disappointed because we waited an hour). The Paris buffet blows now according to most people...it use to be good. Oh well, Phantom was amazing and shopping was fun.

Now we are in Murrieta for the holidays. ITS BEEN SO NICE TO BE HOME!! We had a great Christmas. Its so nice to just relax and visit with both our families and friends. We do not want to go back to Utah!! We went to the Melting Pot again... this time with Adam's family. We did the whole appetizer, entree, and dessert this time. It was all pretty good but the dessert is the best part FYI. This happened on friday. Then we came over to my house and my brother opened his mission call...he is going to San Antonio Texas!!!!!! We are all so excited. He leaves in 8 weeks :) This is our most recent news. Happy Holidays!!

We are spoiled

I AM SO EXCITED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We are going to see Phantom of the Opera in Vegas on the 20th! :) We got such good seats too! We are sitting in the middle of the Golden Circle, twelve rows back from the stage. We are spending two nights in Vegas so we can enjoy the strip and SHOP! (This is our AWESOME Christmas present from both of our parents) SCORE!

Lights and Chocolate

We enjoyed looking at the lights at temple square with Lisa and Lee. It was opening night so it was a bit crowded but we expected that. The temple is just so beautiful and its amazing how many lights they wrap around those trees. We were so excited to try out the Melting Pot afterwards. It met my expectations for sure. You can't go wrong with chocolate!

Turkey and Drumsticks

We had an AWESOME thanksgiving!!! Adam made his mother's famous squash and apples which was a big hit. We spent thanksgiving over at my aunt Nina's house. Her cooking school training and years of experience continues to amaze us all. Oh and my uncle made his famous mashed potatoes (the secret is out he adds real cream and cream cheese). Most of my mom's side of the family was there so it was so nice to get together and spend time with everyone. We played apples to apples and catch phrase after we ate one of the best meals of all time. Thanksgiving is my second favorite holiday. I love the food...and its about the only left overs that I actually enjoy eating. Adam and I decided to end thanksgiving with a bang so we went out and bought an Xbox 360 pro along with Rockband. I have wanted it ever since I played it for the first time on Halloween. Adam has wanted it for A LONG time. We are so excited to now own it and have been playing it ever since we got it. I am on a break right now to write this and to rest my hands and shin. Those drums tire you out! Adam is still playing. He does check the football game every so often though lol he is far more addicted than me. I think its hilarious. He is already an expert on the guitar and can play drums at the hard level. They are so hard. I struggle with the easy level lol and I am only at the medium level for the guitar.

Grandma wanted us to set up Christmas last night. She was so excited; how could we say no? The only thing we still have to do is hang up some Christmas lights. We are debating if we should do icicle lights or some twinkling colored lights. All this setting up has put me in the mood for Christmas, so Adam and I are going to drive to Salt Lake with friends to go look at the lights at temple square tonight. I am excited! Also, Adam and I have been talking about going to see Phantom of the Opera this Christmas break, and spending some time in Vegas on our way to Cali!! We have both been dying to see it. I sure hope we go!
