You remind me of... Kevin Bacon??




So we get this all the time. We were at Macy's Grocery last night and the cashier kept staring at Anthony finally he says, " Hey! I know who you remind me of... Kevin Bacon!!"
We get that all the time! And Anthony doesn't like it. It's a tie between people saying he reminds them of James Franco and Kevin Bacon. He prefers JAmes Franco.. But I have to say the better resemblence is with Kevin Bacon. What do you guys think??
Also.. at Macy's... There was this Hispanic boy (3 yrs. I would say) and he was playing with a big bouncy ball. Well, when he would hit something or somebody with it he would yell GOOOOOOOAAAAAALLLLL! It was hilarious.

Oh Twilight Saga...

Well, I went and saw Eclipse on Tuesday night!And I'm just going to spit it out because I am sure that everyone body is sick of hearing about it already (It came out today!). But it was amazing. And I hate the other 2 movies. This movie was the best and I want to see it again.
It was quite an adventure getting there. At first I told Anthony that I didn't really want to go opening night but then we found out Jordan Commons has assigned seating so we wouldn't have to wait in line for 3 hours. So I bought tickets. Then Anthony decided he didn't want to go, so I tried to find others who wanted to go. and then he wanted to go. So we went.
Anthony works for Provo so he wakes up at 5:00 every morning. so he was planning on getting 2 hours of sleep after the midnight showing. Well, Anthony ended up having to wake up at 4:00 to be to work early the next day at 5:00. He got 30 minutes of sleep last night and worked an 11 hour day, mowed our lawn, and went to a priesthood meeting. He is thebest husband EVER.

And on a side note... I am TEAM JACOB. it is so weird how in the books I hated Jacob, but what can I say. Tall. Dark. Handsome.

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.
