The Final Finale...

We are finished with our finals!!! WOO WHO.. Anthony did great on his (like always) and I actually did better than I though. Being an English major we don't take tests, we write papers.. and I had a written test in every class! It was very foreign.

Now off to Disneyland tomorrow for a whole week! yay!

Side note.. Anybody seen The Hills? What happened to Heidi's face? I haven't watched it in like 2 years ( i didnt even know LC was gone) but really heidi? Its gross...

I will be this kind of English Teacher haha.. but cooler.

I will recreate this. haha.

Friends, Love, and my Baby Doll.

It was my Birfday this weekend, the 17th (Just so you slackers know for next year). It was alot of fun! On Friday, after work, my dad's side of the family threw me a dinner at my Aunt Megan's house in Payson. It was really fun. My grandpa from St. Geezy came into town and my dad came down from SLC with Sage and Annica. Annica (my sister who is 3) is so adorable. I love her to pieces. She screams just like I did when I was little, only I was WAY louder. That seems to be what everyone remembers me for when I was wee one. I guess when I got really excited I would squeel super loud. This lasted until age 7... but every now and then it still kicks in a bit haha.

After the dinner, Anthony and I went to pick up his car from the shop ($370!!!) and then planned on going to see Dear John. Well, on the drive home I decided I was too tired and just wanted to watch a movie at our house... This happens way too often. Once, we actually bought movie tickets and I got too tired to leave the house. Seriously? How tired do you have to be to NOT go sit in a movie theatre? haha... That is Marche`. Deal. So we went and got The Box from RedBox, not blue box. WEIRDEST MOVIE EVER... I still don't understand it. Much like Where the Wild Things Are. Funny story (if you have seen it): Anthony stood on the counter last week and yelled, "Feed me woman!!" It was hilarious. Maybe you had to be there...

On my actual Birthday (Saturday)... (again, write it down)... Anthony woke up at 6:00 AM and wrapped my presents and hid them all around the house with clues on them and he decorated the house with streamers and banners. He is such a sweetheart! He knew what I like most about my birthday is having the house decorated. (My mom does is every year). The thing I was look forward to the most was getting to sleep in! I have class everyday at 8:00 am (I will never do that again...) and we have church at 8:30 am and I usually try and go into work on Saturdays. So this was a special day I was not going to wake up! Well... I slept until 9:30. Yes, family, that is the latest I can sleep in nowdays. My body just doesn't like me... or sleep! So I woke up to a decorated house and a scavenger hunt! It was great. 21 presents were hidden around the house! Here are some pics of what my cute husband got me:

This adorable swimming suit. I love it. And one day I will look this good in it. Hint: There are great swimming suit on http://limericki.com/.. I LOVE IT

These little pepsis are great for me. I am addicted still, but this helps me think it is okay. He is feeding my addiction...

SOCKS! I love socks. I hate wearing white socks if I'm not working out. Anthony buys me socks for every holiday. And his mom has started buying me socks too! I love it. Our first Christmas he gave me like 12 pairs. And it has never stopped.

He also gave me a heart rate monitor. I have been wanting one for a long time. I used it today during my spin class and my HR ranged from 140-190. That is good to know! I also burned 997 calories in 45 minutes. I REALLY liked that feature.

OOh. and he got me Scope mouthwash because he said that is how Mormons get drunk. (it was my BIG 2-1).

Then I went to my friend Shanda's baby shower. She is so cute. Love it. Love big bellies. I want the belly, but not quite the child just yet. Well.. that is a lie. I want a girl. So until I am content with the possibility of having a boy, I am going to wait so the child is not a disappointment. (This is only have serious, don't think I am a baby boy hater, I LOVE them to pieces. I just like making girl stuff at the moment.)

Then we went shopping for Braxton's (my brother) birthday. His was Sunday, the 18th. Don't bother writing that one down ;) After that, we went to the Pizza Factory with Anthony's parents. It was really good. One of my favorites.

I Don't know this guy... But the bread sticks are AMAZING.

That night we had our friends come over and we sat by our firepit and roasted Mallows and Dogs. and made "Shmores". hehe. So good. I miss all my friends that I never get to see. PLUS... good news. Anthony's friend Nate (dawg) came and brought Kehly his... (friend, I am not sure?). Well, they aren't ______ anymore, so I never get to see Kehly and I got to see her and it made my day. I love that girl. She is the best. And she made some amazingly cute cupcakes.!

These are what she made! (I stole it off her blog). You can order them for your parties too at http://lovestastycakes.blogspot.com

Anthony made my favorite German Chocolate Cake. He was so talented at making it 'layered'. He cut it in half and put the coconut in the middle and then put the other half on top. It was really hard to cut after that, so it made a mess, but tasted delish..

This Nate (dawg), Kehly, my CUTE doll, Me, and Antwon. I have this doll, that was made to look like me and it really scares Anthony, so he makes me hide it in the storage room...

On Sunday, after 8:30 AM church.. way too early.. we went to my mom's house for a BBQ and presents. We celebrated my birthday and Braxton's. He turned 14. It was fun. Kennya, Dennis, Kyler, Kayden, Kennedy, Derrick, Monica, Booke, and Grandma were there! We played card games and ate food. What more could I ask for? A dog. Hint to Anthony.

Good News Minute: An other great thing happened. it was 78 degrees on Sunday. Just to let you know.

The FooL is U

Anthony has a history of doing mean April Fool's jokes on me. Last year it was a month before our wedding and he called to tell me that the Salt Lake Temple called and said the mixed up the scheduling date and the temple was actually going to be closed May 1! I freaked out and called my mom to have her change all the dates and reservations. As if i wasn't emotional enough with planning a wedding, I started crying in class. I don't remember how he ended it, but I had already called the photographer to change the date! REally he was the fool on that one.

This Year....

I was in my British Lit class and right after he gave out an 'april fools' quiz, Anthony texted me and said BYU's Honor Code department called him and said that we had to move from our basement apartment to Y-Mount because my grandma's house is connected to ours and she is married. I didn't think twice about this because it is very probably and I don't know the standards. He said that we had to move in the next 3 days or they were going to kick him out of the school! I was freaking out and getting anxiety. I started brainstorming different places to live. I started looking at the positives: (only 1-i wanted a pool.) He continued the joke for an hour and made me cry once again in class. I was so mad!


So...I called Ron, my stepdad being his boss, and got Ron's secretary to fire him. My mom texted me and said the secretary had to leave a voicemail because Anthony's phone didn't ring. When I got home, I told Anthony to go get gas with me. (Our phone's don't work in our apartment.) So when we got in the car he saw he had a voicemail. He listened to it and then called the secretary and just laughed! He wasn't worried about losing his job at all! I pretended to freak out, which I was pretty good at.
After that didn't get the reaction I wanted, I went to Smith's and got Azo for unine discomfort. I heard this turns your pee red! My plan was that Anthony would think he was peeing blood. I got the pills and mixed them in the kool-aid. He said it tasted too funny and wasn't going to drink the rest. But i'm sure he got enough. He found out about the pills, but he said this morning his pee was very dark, so I guess it worked. It made it worth it just to see him drink it.


I have to prepare next year for this day. He only gets me because I am so gullable. It is not fair. Even after taking a fake quiz, I forgot that it was april fools!

Holi Holi Krishna

Holi Holi Krishna

This weekend we went to Festival of Colors at the Holi Krishna Temple. It was so much fun. We went with Anthony's brother, Chris, and his wife, Ashley. We tried to go last year, but we were late by like 2 hours! This year we were only late by 30 minutes, and next year we hope to be 30 minutes early! We missed the actual ceremony, but still got covered in the paint. The people see that you are clean and can't wait to mess you up!

Winter Happenings

Well,this blog thing is working out about as much as the journal thing! But it's ok. Anthony and I have been doing a lot of stuff this winter and I am sad to see it leave, but so excited for summer. Spring is just a plain ol' tease. Anthony and I have done a lot more during this winter than we did last summer. Partly due to the fact that Anthony worked like 80 hours a week last summer and I never saw him!

But so far this is what we have been doing:

We went snowboarding at Sundance last week and it was way fun. So warm that we could wear a sweater. Piece of cake!

We went to Zion's and it was so fun. We hiked Angel's Landing, but it was too icy to get past the part where you have to hang on the chains. But it was still way fun. We went with Griff, Nate, & Natalie. I definitely need to get into better shape before attempting it again! UGH.... Somebody be my workout partner. For Real... Please?



We go snowshoe-ing a lot too. It is really fun when there is full moon and the moon can light your path for you. We don't even take headlamps... Just 'follow the light.'

We have so many traditions from our first 2 years of dating that have just carried over. Such as:

We go to Burger's Supreme every November 20 for our "dating anniversary." Even though I hate greasy burgers...BLECH.. But he said he was testing me to see if I was a picky girl. (Little did he know I was just a good dater... The pickiness doesn't come out until after marriage haha.) And since I love the twilight books, it has become part of our anniversary since the last 2 have come out on the dating anniversary day. Good thing the next one is coming out this summer. I wonder what will take it's place on our November anniversary.

We make Gingerbread houses on December 7th. We made our first one when dating and it lasted almost 4 months! Anything can last in a guy's apartment if they don't clean! Which they don't.

We also watched the entire Lost t.v. show and still continue it. I just do it for Anthony though. I skipped season 4 and I am so lost! (ironically.) But he watches Brother's & Sister for me so we are equal.

Off the tradition subject I am now turning into movie critic mode:

I hated the new Alice in Wonderland. I felt that Johnny Depp sucked! It was like he couldn't decide between Willy Wonka and Jack Sparro. It was extremely annoying and it was very boring. Maybe it was because I was told it was going to resemble Lewis Caroll's short story Alice in Wonderland: Through the Looking glass. I read it in my British Literature class and I loved it so much so I was a little disappointed because it wasn't like it at all. I guess that one should be blamed on my friend. (YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE!) I guess I have to say at least one good thing about it: The colors were awesome and the 3D was worth it. I am just glad I saw a matinee so I didn't waste as much money on it.

Can somebody tell me their opinions on Where the Wild Things Are? I want to see it, but everyone says it's a disappointment! Let me know! So I can at least go into it with the right mindset.

First Blog EVERRR

Well, Anthony and I have been terrible at writing in our journals since we got married and I thought that if it were on the computer then it would make it a lot easier since we are ALWAYs doing homework on the computer... Though I doubt Anthony will do any blogging. I don't think he "gets" it. :)

So some stuff about us!

We got married on May 1, 2009! It has almost been a year. I cannot believe it. It was the most beautiful day ever I can't imagine it going any better. Nothing went wrong, that I know of, I could have just been in matrimonial bliss all day. We got married in the Salt Lake City Temple and I just have to say it is the most amazing building I have ever seen, but of course it is!

The weather was perfect that day and the flowers around the temple grounds were AMAZING. My favorite pictures are of the flowers... Sadly, I don't like our wedding pictures as much as i would have liked... After the sealing, we had pictures and a luncheon at the Joseph Smith Memorial Building with the tips of the temple right through the window.

AFter that we had to rush home and get our suitcases and rush to the reception center where we were doing a ring ceremony for those who weren't able to attend the sealing. We did it at The Sun River Gardens Nursery. It was so pretty and exactly what I wanted.. Flowers everywhere!

The ring ceremony went great. We walked down the isle to Brad Paisly's "I Thought I Loved You Then." It was so cute! I felt like the reception lasted forever! But I am so grateful for everyone that came! Our wedding party consisted of: Megan Beckham, Cami Harvey, Brittany TEmpleman, Nicole Ferron (Miller NOW) Heather HEaton, Dave Tomlinson, Chris Brown (anthony's brother), Nate Falslev (no idea if I spelled that right), Jeff Ricks, and Braxton (My brother). I always wanted a big wedding party... All the more fun!
We went on our honeymoon to the Bahamas! It was so much fun. I love the sun and the water. I am a little fish. Anthony wasn't too thrilled about swimming with the fishies but I chased them! We went to Atlantis which was amazing. They had water slides that that went through shark tanks! SO FUN.

I loved our honeymoon. I want to live on an island. It reminds me of my Jimmy Buffet! LOVE HIM.

Since the wedding we have just been doing the whole married college experience. I am graduating in April 2011 in English Education (high school ed, not teaching foreigners!) And Anthony is at BYU doing Financial Management and getting ready for Med school. He takes the MCAT May 25! That will pretty much determine where we will live for the next 6 years! Hopefully he aces it and we stay in Utah going to the U... But Anywhere would be fun if it has a beach... That is my reasoning for moving.
This summer was way fun! We went to St. George a couple times and went boating and swimming a lot. We floated the Provo River for the first time in my life! And people... its not that bad. Except for the time I almost DIED. Now everyone only remeber one part... when I got sucked under the trees I came up for air and screamed "I suck at life..." Which I do not. I am pretty good a life.



Floating the Prov with Anthony, Me, Natalie, Nate, Griff, Matthews, Nate, and Kehly

Ice blocking with NAte & Natalie

Other than that it is now winter and we have been snowboarding and snowshoeing a lot! I love it. School it extremely frustrating right now with work and school. One or the other is not as bad, but both can be very overwhelming. OH- Anthony works with me at Park's Sportsman. He is in the Ski Shop and I am the Website Coordinator (whatever that means?).

Anthony and ME Snowshoeing
