1st Trip to Bear Lake in '08

We went to Bear lake July 10-12 with Jer's family. I really enjoyed going up there I got sunburned, but I learned how to wake bored! I had so much fun and enjoyed every one's company. Jer's Aunt taught me so fun card games that I had forgotten how to play so I was way excited to play games. there were like 40 people up there at the cabin so he got to stay in our new tent!
This is us on the boat getting ready to go wake boarding. It was really windy and cold, but I still enjoy a good boat ride.
My husband is so hot! check out his cool helmet.

I did it! I was so proud of myself. This is the first time I was able to stand up! It is fun and I went for a while, but my back was hurting so I fell down. I can't wait to again whenever I get a chance.
After we got back to the beach us girls didn't want to get wet so I sat in this little blow up boat and had someone pull us to shore! Hey, don't judge it was so cold.
How cute, Todd and Ann trying to get MORE tan.

Tagged

I didn't want to be tagged, but since like 4 of you tagged me then I guess you want to know more about me.

How to play this game of tag:Post these rules on your blog. List: 3 joys, 3 fears, 3 goals, 3 current obsessions/collections, 3 random surprising facts about yourself. Tag 3 people at the end of your post by leaving their names.
3 Joys:
1. I love to hang out with Jeremy of course, but I love being with my family they have become my best friends. Whether your my Mother or my in-law cousin, I freaking love all of you.
2. Scrapbooking and crafts is my next favorite joy. I can thank my cousin's for introducing me to this Joy. I love doing them with family members like Katie, Natalie, Jessica, Miranda, and hopefully now my friend Christine.
3. Being goofy is another Joy I have. I love just running around and laughing at nothing. I love my free spirit and the ability I have to turn any situation into a fun one.

3 fears:
1. Pretty much I'm afraid of the world. Anything that can put me into danger I'm afraid of. Ask my mom, she will confess that this is true. I even remember sitting in a Dr. office when I was little and my mom told him I was afraid of my own shadow and asked if I could take anything for it.
2. I'm afraid of spiders! I hate them I scream for my life when I just see a little white one crawling around. I can thank my father for this fear and him making me watch Arachnophobia (or however you spell it). The ones that I see the most that freak me out or the little black ones that look like a perfect circle. This is because when Jeremy kills them for me he has to point out that they have eyelashes and they just want to be pretty. (sorry Ann, yes I make Jeremy kill any spider I see in my apartment). If I'm home a lone I put a shoe, box, or anything bigger than the spider one top if it and leave it upon the gross spider until Jeremy comes home and takes care of it for me.
3. I, like my sister, am afraid of anyone close to me dying! It is horrible to have some one close to you die and I hate when people I know have to go through that hard time! So please everyone wear your seat belt. I love you too much!

3 goals:
1. I want to lose my wedding weight! Why when you get married to you start gaining weight?
2. I want to be a better house wife and Cook more meals (even though it may surprise so of you how much I do cook) and I want to always have a clean house like my Mom.
3. I also want to be happy and have a positive attitude in all situations.

3 current obsessions/collections:
1. I obsessed with scrapbooking
2. I love the Twilight books! I love Edward! I love on my sister's blog she has a saying: My heart belongs to my husband, but my neck belongs to Edward! I love it.
3. COUPONS! I'm obsessed with collecting coupons and getting good deals on things puts me in the best mood.

3 random surprising facts:
1. I can talk with my mouth closed. I know not too big of a shock if you know how much I love to talk.
2. I love to watch the Disney Channel as well as my sister. They are just nice good moral shows.
3. I love my job!
Tagged: (just do it, it's fun)

Fed up with Gas Prices!

I hate gas prices these days they are driving me crazy. I have thought long and hard about how to make life better with the economy the way it is today. A couple months ago I was looking into buy a scooter, the thought left my head and just recently has come back. Yesterday I went and test drove one and it was easier than I thought. I really want to get a scooter now, but I don't know if it's going to be worth it. Here are the pro and con's:
Pros: Cons:
* cheaper gas * I might die
* fun to drive * longer to get to work
* I would look cute * have to take back roads to work

Those are the Major ones I have thought of. I thought since most of you like to give me advice on everything else I do I was wondering what your input would be on me buying a scooter. Also if I do get a scooter should I spend the 3,000 to get the "Honda" brand or should I spend around 1,500 for a "Kia" brand (that's how my Dad explained it to me). I would like to get feed back from everyone about this topic so it can help me make up my mind. Thank you so much! Have a wonderful day.

STADIUM OF FIRE - A.K.A MILEY CYRUS!!

Stadium of Fire!!

Happy 4th of July everyone! This was the best 4th of July I have every had. I'll tell you all about my great weekend.
We went on the 3rd before to Granite High with Jer's family and that was a lot of fun, they had some good fireworks. Then we had to get up early the on the 4th to go to the Centerville parade with my family. It was crazy we got to ride on some cool bikes and got lots of candy for all the little kids. Later in the afternoon we went on a bike ride and Jer did so good on his new bike the "Assaw"
This was a picture of us a Granite High School. Ryken is so cute he kept wrestling Jeremy and I all night and we couldn't stop laughing.
Hi, and welcome to the best night ever! Staudium of fire!!! The whole concert was just outragously amazing. It started with 1300 dancers that acted out all of the summer olympics in 7 min. It was so organized and together, I was impressed.
Then we were all entertained by the blue man group. These men are so interesting to watch, it's amazing the sounds they could make with these big pipes. The concert was being broadcast overseas for the soliders. Some husbands and wives got to talk eachother and it was really sweet. The last husband that talked was a Ute fan and we all know that this was event was sadly held at Brigham Young University so the solider, after he talked to his wife, said I know that this is at BYU, but I just have to do this... and he help up a Utah football jersey for everyone to see. I thought it was pretty cool that he did that. I think that this was the loudest part of the the night were everyone was "cheering" or "booing", the cheering side was of course louder! GO UTES!
Then this was the best part of the night music started, girls started screaming, and I felt like I was going to throw up if she just didn't get out on stage. Right when I thought I was going to die, I looked up and there she was I jumped up right out of my chair with 2000 12 year old girls and we rocked all night!!! Go MILEY! All these pictures were taken from my seat, my husband got some good seats that's for sure! Thanks so much babe for making the 12 year old girl inside of me the happiest girl ever! Sorry to the Longman and Marshall girls for not putting the video on like I had promised them it wouldn't ever load, but I'll show you girls another time.
Miley was such a little rocker girl she was running around the stage singing her little heart out. She was a headbanging, foot stomping, jumpin crazy 15 year old girl. I was really impressed with her live show she sang her popular songs and then let us hear some of here new songs off of her new album. I'm so happy I was able to finally see Miley in concert we are like BFF's now!
Thanks babe for being okay that I like to be a 12 year old girl sometimes. It make me happy to know that you love me no matter what! I know a lot of guy's who wouldn't be caught dead at a Miley concert and pretty much everyone who is older then 16 reading this blog thinks I'm lame for adoring her. But thanks for being there with me and showing your support! I love you babe you are so good to me I couldn't dream of anyone who is better for me. I LOVE JEREMY!!

Mrs. Amazing!!

Here are the pictures..... Story will follow. I hate that you can't cut and paste on blogs. Anybody know how to? please let me know.
Here is the Story!

I like to call her Mrs. Amazing, but her real name is Annalisa Spencer. Annalisa has mastered something that most people would love to learn how to do. She is this incredible person that loves to find great deals, get free stuff, and to have a little extra money in her pocket. Annalisa has worked hard to find a good system that works and a fun way to do it.

Last night I witnessed this system first hand. I went to Target with Annalisa to do some coupon shopping. I meet her and she was so cute she made me an envelope with a TON of coupons in it and wrote me up a shopping list. We walked around the store and she was showing me all the good deals and showing me how to combine coupons to get free products and even better get products that earn me money. The best part was the check out we just had a pile of coupons and with every scan the price kept going down. I kinda felt bad because we had so many that 2 people moved lines because they were tired of waiting. My total before the coupons was like $54 then with each scan of my coupons my smile just got bigger when I saw my total as........ $17.99!! However, I also got 2 $5 gift cards to target so basically I spent $7.99 to get all these good groceries. Her deal was even better! Her bill was $109 and got it all the way down to $30 and then she got like 4 $5 Gift cards! Wow! This made me so excited I got endorphins and was not longer tired after working four 12 hour shifts so far this week.

I had such a fun time at Target and will for sure be back there every week to find new and excellent deals. If any of you come over coupons that you are not using send them my way.

If any of you would like to learn of this greatness please go to her website at http://slavetosave.synthasite.com/

Enjoy her website and take her advice I took all of her advice and I hope one day I can become as good as she is at this task. Thanks again Annalisa for teaching me all your secrets and I hope I'm not too annoying as I keep asking you questions. I appreciate you!

Fun Weekend!

This weekend was totally fun! My family and cousins are so awesome. It all started with my cousin Todd and My Aunt coming back here for fathers day. On Friday Adam, Jessica, myself and my mom took the day off work to go play with Todd. While Robert, Tyler, Adam, and Todd went golfing my mom, Jessica, and I watched charlie so Angel could go to lunch with her sisters. It was fun to sit and talk to Charlie and play with him I was even able to dance with him (Angel said it was okay). Then we played some Guitar Hero and as always Jessica kick my butt. We then went to the Luau for my Cousin Tricia, who was also in town, to celebrate her engagement to John. (Congrats, you two are super cute together). This party was awesome because it come a long with David's awesome drinks. However, I'm pretty sure at this party I ruined a surprise party for Uncle Don that was for the next day. Thanks to Suz for providing her beautiful house and to the rest of the Christensen's for supplying the great food. Saturday was even more eventful we had a party for my Aunt and the whole family came to visit and to eat great food. Then after that party we moved some of the party to Cherry Hills. I felt like I was 10 again with my BIG cousins (Rob, Tyler, Todd) and Adam all jumping on my head with big yellow tube's. The best part was going down the blue sides we all doubled up and went down the slides so fast. The best combo was Tyler and Rob who together weighed in at a quarter ton! I'm sure that slide almost broke. After an all day of sun and fun we moved this some of this party to Chad's house where we played Human Rubberband. This is the greatest game ever invented! The were a lot of injuries, and even a broken toe (sorry Jessica). I think everyone needs to play this game because you will not be able to stop laughing my dad now has this game per a fathers day gift. Then Sunday came and we finished off the week by have a good bye brunch for Todd. During this brunch we watched the entire Nascar race and I actually liked it all. Thanks to Rob for teaching me all about that sport and introducing it to me. It was nice to hang out with Todd again and to catch up with my Aunt. Here are some pictures of the fun weekend.

This is how MyKelle and Keith felt about the party on Saturday

Happy Birthday to Me!!

June 7th was my birthday and I had a great day! Jeremy gave me season tickets to Broadway across America which includes WICKED! I'm so stoked to see that again. I love it so much! My mom gave me the cruise we took back in Jan. Ann gave me Dance Dance Revolution on the Wii. In the morning Jer took me up the canyon to Ruth's diner and it was so yummy. We went up to Park City and rode the Alpine slide and the Roller Coaster it was so much fun. we also went up to Kamas because my Dad wanted to see Gines Lane and our property he promised us ice cream in kamas so there was no complaining.

My mom got me this awesome cake that was shaped like a purse! Best birthday cake ever! It was really good. At night We went up millcreek canyon to roast marshmallow's and eat Tin foil Dinners.
This is Jessica Hill and Jeremy enjoying smores.
Chris and Annalisa getting cuddly by the fire.
My Best friends from high school came and played with me. I miss these girls and I'm grateful that we were able to rekindle our flame. (get it because there was a fire, ha ha. I know I'm lame)

This is Jer and I about ready to get all messy with that smore Jer is holding. Unfortunately the fire was not big or wide enough to fire up our tin foil dinners so we took them back to Chirs and Annalisa's house and cooked them in the oven. We played Mario Kart and Annalisa gave me good tips on saving money. She is seriously so great at saving and earning extra money if anyone wants advice let me know and I'll give you her website. Thanks Jer for giving me a great day I love you babe your the greatest.
