Day 18

Something you crave a lot.


Hmmm....how do i pick just one thing? There are multiple different things that i crave a lot. lol. Guess I will just list them all. ;)  I crave a lot....The Old Spaghetti Factory spaghetti with brown butter and mazithera cheese, the ultimate  grilled cheese sandwiche from Zupas, orange chicken from Panda Express, fruit, and for some strange reason, breakfast food, which i could easily east as breakfast, lunch, and dinner! Hahaha.... My favorite lately has been to get a belgian waffle with strawberry surup on it. Mmmmm..... :p 

Day 17

A photo of you and your family.

This photo of my family was taking on the wonderful day that we added Nick into our family, as Nick and I became our own, new family unit. :) From left to right you have, my younger sister Alli, my dad Steve, my mom Lori, me and Nick, my younger brother Chris, and then the baby of the family, Matthew. :D

Day 16

Your celebrity crush.

My celebrity crush is Alex O'Loughlin. I came to know of him in the short lived (but awesome and before it's time) Vampire series Moonlight as the hero Mick St. John. Can't really describe what it is about him that I love, or what makes him my crush, but there is definitely something. ;) 

Day 15

Something you don’t leave the house without.


My cell phone is something that I never leave the house without. I feel absolutely naked and disconnected without my phone and am always sure that tons of people are suddenly gonna wanna contact me when I don't have it on me. Haha....  My purse is also something that I don't leave the house without as well if i can help it, though if I'm going somehwere that i don't want to have to carry it, then i of course don't take it. Haha this is why my cell is the top thing i never leave the house without. :)

Day 14

A TV show you’re currently addicted to.

The show that I am currently addicted to is The Vampire Diaries. I am totally in LOVE with it! I have always been a fan of vampires (before they became popular and the whole fraking world jumped on the band wagon) and this is one of the few things that I am greatful to the newfound Vampire mania for. This show is ten times better then Twilight but definitly way cleaner then that HBO show Trueblood. I really love the story line and am in love with the characters. It truly is my new show obession. Haha....;D

Though it is no longer on the air, I also wanna put in an ode to Charmed. I have loved this show from start to finish and I still love to watch them. I own the entire series on dvd and love to get them out every once and a while and watch my favorites again. :D I never get tired of this show.

Festival of Colors!

Today was the Holi Festival at the Sri Sir Radha Krishna Temple, which most people know as the Festival of Colors. At this festival, people buy bags of specially made chalk that comes in beautiful shades of pink, orange, green, purple, yellow, magenta, and blue and, at set intervals throw them at one another and into the air in a massive cloud of colored dust. It is the coolest thing to see as all the colors hit the air and mix together and cover the people below. It's cool in another was too because suddenly, there is no race or differences among the crowd. We all look exactly the same and suddenly everyone is instant friends. This was my first time, and I went with my best friend Sadie. We had a blast and definitely met out goal of not leaving until we were COMPLETELY covered. It was awesome! My poor hubby couldn't get off work to come :( but now that just gives us a great excuse to claim the day first next year and go again! It is definitely something i could make a habit off. :)

Before the first throw started

After round 1. ;)

The Hare Krishna Temple

The final shots, as we were leaving.

Haha as you can see, we got covered!

Day 13

Your favorite musician and why?


One band that I would say has always been a top fav of mine, is Linkin Park. I was first introduced to them in 7th grade, and I have just always really enjoyed the rhythm and beats of their music. I must say though, that i am much more of a loyal fan to their old music, then their newest cd. It didn't stick to their old sound, which is the very reason I love the so much. I also really love them, because Nick loves them as well and it is a fun thing that we share together. We both agree that their old cd's Hybrid theory and Meteora, were by far the best ones ever! ;)  (Besides Linkin Park, I also really love almost all country singers as well as being a big sucker for Broadway Musicals, with Les Mis, Phantom, and Aida being my favorite there. :D)

This song is called "Numb" and is from the Meteora Cd. It has always been one of my favorite Linkin Park songs.

Day 12

A photograph of the town you live in.

Ok, so this isn't my exact neighborhood, my camera is broken, so I googled Suncrest and stole it off the Internet. lol. It gives the basic idea though of the mountain top that I live on. ; ) I do love the beautiful views that we have, which are breathtaking (at night especially), but i could definitely do without the huge blizzards we get up here in the winter, while all you down in the valley just get simple little winter snow storms. We get fog with ours, and man does that making driving home scary! Haha luckily, Nick and I carpool most the time, so i only really had 2 times i was alone driving home in a winter storm. Plus, we always have to be on the look out for deer. It is definitely a new experience, but I love my ward, who is very welcoming and overall am really coming to love living up here. :)

Day 11

What’s in your makeup bag?


Haha I actually have two make up bags because they are small sized and I have had them forever. I have a good amount of make-up, because I like to be an extreme girlie-girlie sometimes, though other times Im more o'natural.        My makeup bags contain all the basics: eyeshadows, eyeliners, mascara, concealer, and foundation. Most of the stuff i just have one of, but the eyeshadow comes if various shades, which i have fun with sometimes, especially with costumes. Most the time I just wear brown though. :)
               

Day 10

A photo of your favorite place to eat.

One of my top all time favorite places to eat, that i never get tired of, is The Old Spaghetti Factory.  It has been a family favorite since I was little and holds tons of great memories for me. The one that we go to the most is the Spaghetti Factory in Trolley Square, which I love. I loved walking around the building and visiting all the interesting stores.  I never getting tired of the food and often crave the yummy yummy mazithra cheese. Mmmm so so good! :D

Day 9

A photo of the item you last purchased.

Mmmm yes, the last item that i bought today, was some Carmel Apple Pops. I was at the mall with two of my friends after we had lunch together and they had them at the Candy Barrel. You could get 4 for a dollar, so i got them so that we could all have one, cause my friend Jess also had her 2 year old daughter Phoebe with us. I figured we would all enjoy them and 4 for a dollar is a great deal. It made me happy. :)

Day 8

A song to match your mood.

The song that I have picked is "Do You Hear The People Sing" from the musical Les Miserables. It matches my mood for today because i watched the 25 anniversary of Les Mis that was recorded at my parent's house, which made my day, as it's one of my top favorite musicals of all time. It made me extremely excited on top of happy, because it reminded me that Les Mis is coming to Capital Theater this summer and my family has season tickets, so im super stoaked for that too!  I picked Do you hear the people sing as the song to feature because its such an upbeat song and, not only is it one of my favorites, but its a song in the musical that is full of such hope and passion and the possibility of a new tomorrow just over the horizon, and i really like that. :) So that is reason for my song choice. 

Day 7 & 6

Haha ok everyone, so apparently I am a 30 day blog challenge failure. This is the 2 time in a few days that I have spaced and had to do two at the same time. lol. I did have wedding stuff all day yesterday for my cousin, having been invited to the sealing, lunch and reception, so my mind was definitely somewhere else. haha.... Here ya go!

Day 7 - Your dream wedding.


My dream wedding has, of course, already happened. It was a nice winter day on Nov. 10, 2010 at the Salt Lake Temple, where i was sealed for time and all eternity to my best friend. :D

In front of the Salt Lake Temple

I loved my amazing dress!

My great cake

My wonderful hubby and I!

Day 6 - Something you'd like to keep as a pet.
Something that I would like to keep as a pet, that i think would be awesome to have, is:

...a wolf! Haha now i know that a wolf is pretty much cousin to the dog, but, i think a wolf is much more majestic and beautiful and i would just really love to have one as a pet. Then, if people tried to mess with me, instead of just having a dog to protect me, i could sick my wolf on them! lol ;)

Day 5

A picture of you from High School.

This awesome picture was taken my senior year at Olympus high school. I was in Downtown Disney for this picture, because my high school choir had come to Cali (and so of course Disneyland) for choir tour.  Haha what and unforgettable trip....;D  I hope you all notice the awesome purple redish tint to my hair. That was a favorite thing of mine at the time, trying out new and interesting shades in my hair. I luckly was just in the basic choir group and not in any of the scpecial ones and so got to play the whole time in Disneyland. It was awesome! I had a blast with all my friends. Haha though I would never do high school over again, i had a great time while i was there. :)

Day 4 & 3

Alright, so was only on day 3 and I'm already being forced to cheat. Hahaha...sorry everyone! Nick and I were working on car and health insurance yesterday evening after work and I totally spaced on blogging! However, since insurance rules the world and is important to have, I think I have a good excuse, ;D


Day 4 – Your favorite photograph of your best friend.

Nick and I were instant best friends from the moment we met. We could talk to each other about anything and so easily as well. I had never been able to talk to a guy like that before, and I immediately knew that there was something special about Nick and this relationship that we so easily had. I know that he will do anything for me and always wants to make me happy and I want the same for him and to see him as happy as possible! I am so glad that i got to marry my best friend and i love him so so much! :D

I also want to do an Ode to my best girl-friend Sadie Hugo, whom I have known since we were 3 years old. She is really more like a sister even, then just a best friend and i know she will be in my life forever too, so i wanted to include her in this post as well. :)


Day 3 - Your idea of the perfect first date.

  My idea of the perfect first date would be having a cute guy that i had met at my 21st birthday party texting me a few days after the party to see if i would like to go see The Forgotten Christmas Carol with him that week. He would then come and pick me up and nervously explain that i would be meeting almost his entire family, because his parents and 2 of his siblings plus the siblings spouse would be there as well. Haha.... Then when we got to the play and i met his family, his mother would think I was a girl he knew in high school who was already married! ;) (It was really funny) After the show was over, we would then go to Sonic and get some food and listen to funny music in the car as we chatted easily like old friends. Neither of us would want the night to end, and we both would not be able to wait until the next time we could get together again.

Day 2

A photo of something you ate today.

Ok, so, the amazing food i'm blogging about for day 2 is...Pineapple! It is one of my favorite things to eat so, since I had some a little after lunch, i decided that i wanted it to be the delicious item that i blogged about. Haha and no, i did not take a picture of the actual piece of pineapple I ate.  I wanted a more impressive looking picture and so stole this one off google. lol. ;D  Such a yummy treat!

Day 1

Alright so its day 1 of the blog challenge; a picture of me and how my day went. The picture i picked is from my honeymoon, the day we got on the cruise ship. (The credit of the pic choice goes to my dear hubby, he thought it was a fun one. Haha and he also says he is the one INSIDE the knight costume. ;D)  My day today was very long and slow. The first half of my day was spent driving back from Jackson Hole, Wy. Nick and I had driven up there early Sat to check in on my family's condo and to turn of the water my dad leaves trickling in the winter so the pipes don't freeze. We had to make it back by 1:45 because i had to work, which meant that we had to get up at 6 am and drive 4 and half hours home. It was very tiring and then I had to go right to work. Phew...it made for a long day. Work luckily was fairly busy so it went by quickly but also wore me out more. Haha.... It is very nice to be back home now, though this week will continue to be busy because my cousin gets married this Saturday. Right now Nick and I are relaxing together in out room watching tv as i blog, which is very nice. :  ) So that is my thrilling Day 1 of the blog challenge! Til tomorrow!

30 day blog challenge

Alright so, I havent's blogged in a month, and while i've wanted to, there really hasn't been anything new to report (exept that Nick bought himself a motor cycle to save on gas with warm weather coming). So...I have decided to try what a new friend is doing, which is a 30 day blog challenge. It looked interesting to me and I think Im gonna try it out. Haha hope i can actually find the time to bloge everyday for 30 days. ;D  Guess we shall see. lol....
