Pocahontas. Romeo & Juliet. Marley.

This is why my grandma is the best. She used to play Beauty and the Beast
with me when I was little. And I came home to this last week. She and Kennedy were playing Pocahontas. HAHA! What will I do without these two?!


This past weekend Anthony and I went to the Grassroots Shakespeare production of Romeo and Juliet. They do it just like in Shakespeare's time. They rehearse for about a day and then put the show on. They were really good!
Anthony didn't think so.. and this was him. On his phone walking around the park.




Live Music before the show.










And kitty. Marley. Staring and me every day and meowing.

Black Like Me


So I just finished the book Black Like Me and it was so good. It is a true story about a white guy who is supposed to be an expert in racial issues in the 1950's. He goes to a dermatologist and gets pills to turn his skin black. He then moves to New Orleans and lives as a black man for 6 weeks and lives to tell his story.

This book really opens your eyes to what it was really like to be in the era. It gives two perspectives of the white and the black and really finds no conclusion. GREAT book. You can borrow it if you like.

Summer Lovin

So this past weekend we went boating with my parents! It was so fun. It is about time it was warm enough. So enough said. Some pics:
This tube was not having it. It had a leak, but we didn't figure that out for about 3o minutes and tried a million attempts to get on it. It is impossible when its not fully inflated!

OOh we're on it!
And then a face plant..


Anthony's first time knee boarding. Got up on his second try.


I look so tan next to him. I like it.

Driving the boat


Anthony wakeboarding. He is a lot better than me.

Flowers, MCAT, Temples, Mullets, Sugar, and BABIES

Well, spring and come and gone.. wait? It's june and spring is still here? Yep. Anthony has a theory that the seasons are shifting. Don't expect to go skiing on Thanksgiving anymore, but plan to go skiing in June! Anyways..
Flowers.. I have this craving to have flowers everwhere in my house. The problem: i am terrible at keeping flowers alive! It is like I am planting money in dirt and watching it DIE.. I was actually pretty good at keeping these flowers alive until the unbelievable snowstorm came last Monday. Now they are slowly dying, but here are some pictures!



Look at the flowers on the bottom left. They are African Daisies. So pretty!



Anthony took the MCAT on May 22! He was studying so hard! I barely saw him for 2 months! He was really married to his MCAT prep book for this period. He will find out his results in about a month. The number one school that we are hoping for is the U of U! We want to stay in Utah, but we will most likely have to move away because we can't get anthony diversified enough.. We have though about changing his skin color, but it is not probable. :) Our number 2 school is Arizona! I wouldn't mind it and I have actually already started looking at the area around the school.. the apartments and schools and such. Everywhere has a pool and I am good with that!

This is Anthony before his test with his Mnt Dew, apple and almond joy. haha. His tools.

So I have been on a diet for the past two weeks that helps Anthony and I eat a lot healthier! Some of it isn't too bad. This is a hamburger without a bun, and wrapped in lettuce instead. Anthony tried it and said it was really good! I'm glad i found something that was a little healtheir that he will actually eat! and the salad is amazing! love it.
On this diet I am not supposed to eat sugar, and I had a lot of homework today and ate a lot of sugar to keep me awake and to stop mynerves.. and not I am awake watching the Colbert report and have to wake up in a couple hours. oh college how I loathe you.


Over memorial weekend, we went to the Manti Temple with Anthony and his parents and his cousin. It was a lot of fun and I love that temple. I would have gotten married there if people would have let me! haha.

And now... BABIes. Anthony's friend Jeff and his wife Brittany had a baby girl on Tuesday the 25th. They named her Paislee! She is so cute and i haven't even met her! But i think she is beautiful and now I can't get my mind off babies! It is seriously all i think about. I don't even know why. I think it has to do with the fact that all of my friends have babies. and when my cousin Brooke does my hair she brings Hudson and Kaila brings Roman and then I go home a whine to Anthony that we have no babies. Literally, all of my friends have babies, and if I am missing some it is because they aren't married! (that didn't stop some though..)

We are definitely not ready for a baby but I am so baby hungry. ( there is rumbling in my heart yearning for a little one...) We have some conditions we have to meet before we take that step: I have to graduate! We have to know where are going (where anthony will be attending med school). I want to stay home and so we need to be a bit more financially stable. I have to lose a lot of weight so I don't have even more to lose, we can't just keep adding to this problem. I need somebody in my family to have a baby and loan it to me a while! And I need to be okay with the idea of having a baby boy. I WANT a girl. which most definitely means i will have a boy.

Dear Lost:

Dear Lost producers:
Thank you for giving me 3 years of joy and torture all wrapped up in one. You are the one who broke the ice for Anthony and me, without you we would not exist, much like the characters you created.
Thanks you.
Marche.

I thought the blonde went away with hair color... WRONG

Well, my blonde consciousness has come back. It has been gone since I graduated, you know... I had to try and be all sophisticated after that. Well the demon has returned!!

Examples? Ok.

1. When we were in Disneyland on Space Mountain, I thought we were going backwards at the end. Apparently I am the only one who felt that way. I swear we were though. Everyone laughed. At my expense. DORK.

2. Anthony got Bolt, the Disney movie, for this birthday and we were watching it and I loved it. I started thinking about how I want a dog so badly, and somehow I became wrapped up in 'live' dogs. My mind switched from disney to real, and I asked Anthony: How did they train that dog Bolt so well? He can do everything!.... Marche, it is a cartoon. I guess one of my big problems is that I voice my thoughts when I really shouldn't.

3. THE BIG ONE: I was at my doctors in Springville today and had a ton of blood drawn for some tests so I was a little woozy (a disclaimer for my actions...). They sent me to the bigger branch of the office in Payson, so I drove clear over there not feeling very good. I parked the car and got out and went into the office. Everyone was looking out of the window so I looked. (My car is a manual FYI)... MY CAR ROLLED BACKWARDS, OVER A CURB, ON TO THE SIDEWALK, OVER A HANDICAP SIGN, AND RESTED IN A BUSH. Yes, I forgot to leave it in a gear when I parked it. I guess when I was walking into the doctors office I was so oblivious to my environment that the car almost hit me! I was completely unaware of the guy yelling at me to run. Thankfully I made it safely into the office with out being hit and completely unaware of my moving car! No damage to the car at all! I felt like a freaking retard though. The guy who was yelling at me held the sign down so I could drive over it without it hurting my car. When I walked back into the office everyone was just staring at me. And that was my day thus far.


Grandma Pat's wisdom: Laughter is evil because it is always directed at somebody's inequity.

Living The Dream

Well, we went to Disney Land for our ONE YEAR anniversary! Yep, we made it one year without killing each other. Just kidding, we don't fight... EVER. It has been an amazing year. I couldn't ask for a better husband. Anthony is the best husband and my best friend. Sorry ladies, I got the best of them out there. :)
We left on April 30th for St. George so we could spend the day just hangingout. We went to Chili's for dinner and just hungout all day on our anniversary. It was great. We never get to just sit so that was awesome!
This is us before dinner. It wasn't cold, but I just bought the scarf and it was too cute to just sit there!

This is at Disneyland! The Buzz Lightyear ride is the best. (Both of them)

I ate a Jack in the Box for the first time. I don't know what these California people are thinking but their fast food chains aren't that great. Yes, includidng In-N-Out.. YUCK.


This is me and Braxton getting ready for the Bug's life ride. Kennedy FREAKED out when the Spiders fell from the ceiling.


Classis California Adventure pic.



My grandma Pat loves Cruela Devill. So cute.

Splash Mountain! Kayden, Braxton, Anthony, Me & Kyler.

Anthony cutting the cheese for our sandwiches. DORK.


Screamer! So fun. We went on it like 10 times! Front seat + Fast Pass= Crazy hair!


This is the Tower of Terror. Kennya, Kyler, Me, Anthony, Kayden, Braxton, and Grandma Pat all on the front row.

O is for the Only one I see.

Mission Beach- Anthony

Kennedy had about 2 pounds of Sand in her bottoms after this.

Coronado Hotel. We didn't see any Famous people.

My future house on Coronado Island. We also went to San Diego to see my home roots. We saw some Naval bases where my dad use to work and where my parents lived when i was a baby. I also found out my crib was a dresser drawer. Free livin in Cali I guess.

This is Old Town in San Diego. It was really cool. I felt like I was in Tiajuana, but safe... haha.

On Coronado Island.

Happy Anniversary to US! Love you babe! Couldn't ask for more. What other husband would spend their anniversay week with their inlaws?! He is the best!
