GUTEN TAAAAAAAAAAG!

I don't know why, but this makes me almost cry from laughter every time I see it.

I love Ewe...

We found this costume at Colt's Parents house yesterday..and I love it on Colt so much that I wouldn't let him take it off. My tummy muscles hurt from laughing so hard.

I love EWE Colt!

We Gather Here Today....

Today while Colt and I were walking out of the grocery store...we saw a strange sight. It was a pigeon standing on something weird in the middle of the road. Colt thought it was stuck in it, but i knew what it was right away.

It was a poor sad pigeon was standing on top of a very smooshed dead pigeon. It looked so sad. You could just tell it was mourning for its lost friend. My heart broke for that poor little bird... Sniff Sniff

then Colt decided to illustrate it for me. So now its cute/sad.

...ACHOOO!

Sorry folks that I haven't been blogging much. School and work are a KILLER. But I promise to keep it more up to date.

If you haven't seen me in a while, or HEARD me in a while. You wouldn't know that I have "chronic sneezing". Basically it is sneezing...that just doesn't happen once or twice at a time. But more like around twenty times. And these "spells" come on about 10 times a day. So basically, i do alot of sneezing. It has come to the point where it is painful on my back, my sinuses are burning. I always sound like a have a plugged nose, and my ears itch like the Dickens! This has been happening for more than half a year now. So basically, i have learned to live with it. Oh well

*achoo!*

i wish i was that cute when i sneezed....

Artsy Fartsy....

So when Colt left me......(sniff sniff) to go to Idaho to look at the new sammy's building he would be working in...I thought i would be the amazing wife I am, and paint him a painting to surprise him when he got home... :) I am just that awesome you know..

This is what the result of that was.

Colt liked it so much he asked me to do another one...but the only canvas that we had was...huge...but i decided to tackle it anyways.

I deemed the Giraffe appropriate for the size of the canvas...he took FOREVER, but i think the outcome is pretty cute...I am thinking i might do more of these... :)

(It just makes me smile when I think how this little guy would run...I imagine it should have little tinkling bells as the sound effect....awwwwww)

Workin 9 to 5....(cue music)

I GOT A JORB!!!! (job to you normal folk)

A couple days ago, Colt and I were walking in the Gateway Mall trying to look for a job for me, because I had been hoping to snag this job taking care of this wonderful lady in the hospital because one of her caretakers was going to quit. Buuuutttttt, the caretaker decided not to quit and so I didn't get the full time job...but i am going to be the "call in girl" if a carettaker can't make it to the hospital. Which means a little extra moola on the side. Which is a plus of course.

Annnnnnyhooooo, we were walking around the mall looking for employment opportunities, and getting disappointed and disgruntled. Then Colt suggested that I try the Childrens Museum. So i walk in and go to the info desk and ask if there were any jobs available. The guy said that they were hiring! I was so stoked I filled out the application right at the desk. Colt then asked if I could see the manager, which I thought was a little forward...but it turned out to be the right thing, because I got an interview the very next day!!!

The Next day I went to the museum all by myself...and I was running a little late, and I had a mall to run through to get to the museum. Suddenly i was stopped by those ever pesky mall kiosk ladies. Curse me for being so kind!!! I couldn't just blow this girl off, plus she already had my hand and was buffing my nails and moisturizing my cuticules and lotioning the back of my hand. I just smiled and nodded and was like "Yeah...uh huh.." rather quickly trying to speed things up. I just felt bad because her and her co worker were from some little european country and they kept pushing bargains down my throat, that I got the impression that if I didn't buy something that there boss/kiosk pimp would send them back to their cold farms somewhere in Europe....I listened for as long as I could, until I was like. "I AM SO SORRY....I HAVE TO GO!" and I just ran to the museum.

When I got there, I went straight into the interview, which I was a little embarrassed about because I knew I looked all sweaty and stinky from running in the heat thru the mall to get there on time. But it went sooooo smoothly and the floor manager Joe was so nice and kind, and happy, and he said that I will be so great for the museum!!! Score! Job acquired!

I am going to be "host", which means I will be there to help kids with crafts, and play with them to help them learn. Mostly I will be putting the toys away, but I also get to host fieldtrips and birthday parties! Yes!

And you know what the extra plus was...The museum is looking for a resident artist!! During the interview, i mentioned that my husband was an artist, and Joe (the manager) got excited and asked what kind of art he did. So I told him about Yo Gabba and other things...and he told me that i should get Colt in for an interview!!! So Colt submitted his application a couple days ago..So pray things work out for the best!!

I am so stoked for this job! I hope I do ok...I will try my best! Wish me luck!!

Playing House...

Sorry to all of my fans that I have not been writing so much...but I am going to put a stop to this right now!!

Today, Colt decided that he was going to show off his manliness and his manly abilities by making me useful things! Like this shelf to hold the microwave and my pots and pans. I needed it badly because I only had like 1x1 foot area of counter space to prepare meals on. Sheesh... but now that I have this nifty craft made by lovely husband I have more counter to make many-a-yummy meal on! Woot!

He also finally installed the much much much needed door knobs on our kitchen doors. (they didn't have any before and so you had to fingernail into the crease of the door til you could get your little finger in it to try and pry it open....yeah not very effective)

This beautiful desk was also crafted by my manly man husband. He built it for my future new iMac! It will be a beautiful sight when its all put together. So great! Our house is becoming a home!

I love this man, and I am so thankful for his talents to make this house our home. Thank you honey, my desk and shelves and doorknobs are beautiful! I love you!!!!

Break it Down...

Why couldn't my wedding be like this?!

I Have Proof...

Proof that Satan really doesn't want us to go to the temple... :(

The BMW's muffler

But you know what, we still persisted and we still made it to the temple!!
(after borrowing Mother inlaws car of course)

(p.s. No one was hurt, just a little stiff from the impact and shock...but other than that we are fine, but cant say that much for the poor car. It even had a full tank of gas! :( )

Come On Ladies!!

So today I made my mom come with me to a water aerobics class at the pubic pool. She was freaking out because she thought she was going to die of hypothermia in the cold pool. I reassured her that you can't get hypothermia in a indoor heated pool. She whined still but I made her get changed. We were both new at this, and I was excited to try it because I love swimming and I love exercising when I get the chance, so put the two together and I got my dream work out! It was way fun, and waaaaaaaaay tiring. It is a serious muscle burning workout. I felt great though the whole time! Because no one can see you underwater so you don't feel as embarrassed. :) Plus there were alot of old ladies there. Which was awesome. And some really hairy dude,,,but he stayed on the other side of the pool. (I swear he had more hair on his back than on his head...and he wasn't balding)
I seriously suggest this workout for anyone who wants a fun total body work out! Its really worth it if you go. :)

P.S. My mom told me on the way to the pool that she never got to do those "Mommy and Me" baby swimming classes. So I told her that these will be our "mommy and Me" classes.

P.S.S. Does anyone else think that the old man in the last picture thinks he is going to die? Poor old man!

Going Green...

Well actually............Blue!

Today was my last day in SLC for a while, and Colt had a surprise for me! He took me to this place called, The Recycled Bike, where people go to drop off their old rusty bikes, and then other people come and look at them and if they want one, a really nice guy will fix it up like new and make it all shiny! Its also really cheap! Considering these are really antique bikes!

So Colt bought me the one i fancied...the pretty blue cruiser.
I love him so much and I am so excited to marry him!!
THANK YOU COLT!!

(He got to ride it first. I have to wait til after the wedding when we go back home to ride it. :( but hey! Im still way excited!)

P.S. If any of you want to suggest any names for my bike, that would be awesome. I am a little stuck in the naming department. Help would be nice! :)

Searchin High and Low...

This last week, I have been back in the lovely valley of Salt Lake. During these last couple of days, Colt and I have been Apartment hunting to find a sweet pad to call our own. We drove around the avenues, calling up all of the numbers we saw on "FOR RENT" signs. One day we found one that we liked alot, it was called the Ruby apartments, and we thought it would be great for us. Yet it was kind of a fixer upper....and that is sometimes a bummer...But that was the best we could find so far and so we thought, "Why not" and filled out an application. We turned it in the next day and we were accepted!
That day, Colt texted one of his friends who was living down the street from the Ruby Apartments, to tell him that we might be moving in down the street. He said that was cool, but him and his wife already moved out of their apartment a couple of days ago! We were bummed that we weren't going to have friends close by. But then Colt had an idea. "Lets just go check out their apartment real fast". So we went and met with the landlord (a very sweet guy, a member too.) and he let us in. And to make this story short. We got the key to it and are moving in on monday!

The whole apartment complex is old, and so all of the fixtures, and light switches and door knockers are all antique looking like this. I love it!

The hallway you walk in when you enter

The living room! Its so big! Hardwood floors too! Amazing!

The Kitchen. New fridge, and countertops. He (the landlord) even installed a cutting board on the countertop! It has a cool window in it too. I love the natural lighting.

The dining room.

The hallway that leads to the bathroom and the bedroom.

Newly tiled bathroom. :)

The bedroom.

The Apartments are called Chateau Normandy. Its quiet and surrounded by trees, which i love! Evidently there is a 78 year old Russian lady that will be our neighbor below us and she is very sweet and doesn't really speak english. I hope to meet her soon.
Colt and I are very stoked to get this apartment. We feel very blessed. Its cheaper than the Ruby Apartment, and its twice as big! Talk about a deal!
We are very excited to be living there soon! Please come visit someday!

P.S. Thanks Chris and Jilanne (sp?) for keepin the place so dang clean! You rock!

Caution!

Do NOT, I repeat! DO NOT go see "Up" if you have tear ducts, emotions, or a heart.
You will bawl and it will mess up the whole 3-D magic.
Even the beginning little Pixar short will set off the waterworks, and it won't stop there.
But see it if you must.
But just remember that I warned you.
And if you do plan on going, stock up on kleenex

(if you don't want to look like a wuss, just grab a lot of napkins and make it look like you are getting them for the 6 dollar oily popcorn you just bought.)

p.s. don't go if you are a PMSing girl, that will not end up well. Actually guys aren't safe from this movie either.


p.s.s I actually did love this movie.

Who knew!

Sorry I haven't blogged in a while folks. I don't really have a good excuse on why, so I am just going to leave that to you guys to fill in the blank. (think of something awesome)

ANYWAYS.

So! Today I found out some vital information.

Wheelchair= Awesome privileges.

Such as

• A free ride

• Puppy Holding
• No yelling if you run over somebody's foot
• Bigger bathroom stalls
• Rad motorized chairs at stores
• Getting to be close to Jemaine

All of these come with the cost of not being able to walk! Doesn't that sound reasonable.........?

Yeah......not really.


(if you are a little confused about the whole puppy holding thing. It seems that if you are in a wheel chair, and there is a puppy near by. It will soon be in your lap.)

(ps. and I am not complaining about that.)

I FINALLY DID IT!

I FINALLY BEAT THE LEGEND OF ZELDA "OCARINA OF TIME" !!!!!!

It was hard, and sometimes I threw my N64 controller. But I persevered! I DID IT!

I AM THE TRUE HERO OF TIME!

(p.s. also I finished it on the last night that I was in my dorm room, meaning that it has to be packed away tomorrow morning. seriously. Im amazing.)

Im surrounded....

BY SUPER HEROS!

Well, their secret identity selves, i mean. I think you can see who is who.



Peter Parker. Word.

Clark Kent, Yo.

And My personal favorite... this guy.

seriously. I will never have to be afraid of walking in a dark alley again! I have these two guys on my side!!

(and if you didn't know who was who, Colt= Peter Parker
Frank= Clark Kent.)

(but seriously, how could you not guess! Look at them!)

So Today....

Is April Fool's Day....

And I got engaged.


(yes... i am crying, you can tell sort of by this picture. But they were tears of JOY! I am going to marry my best friend and the love of my life!)

Gotta Catch 'Em All! ...

So today I had the privilege of attending a choir practice for all of the institute choirs in the Salt Lake Valley. I am in the LDSBC Choir and so we had to join. This practice was for General Conference, which we are singing at in the Saturday Afternoon Session. (SO STOKED) Anyways. We usually go and have practices all together 2 weeks prior.
Now...I obviously don't know anyone else from any of the other choirs. But today...i found a guy who i really want to be friends with now.

So i was just sitting in my alto section, which was right next to the tenors. I look to my right and I see that there was this dude.............cross stitching?!

Yes Folks, you read that right. The dude was cross stitching. Legit cross stitching.
I tried desperately to see what he was making, but he kept hiding it. It was purple in color, and to me it looked like a clam, or maybe a flower? This kept my interest through out the whole practice. (that's 2 hours people!) (p.s. I did pay attention, and I did sing everything)

But then.....i saw it....

I saw what he was cross stitching.....and I.....couldn't believe it.

I thought to myself. "really......REALLY!?"

(get ready for it)

IT WAS A POKEMON!

The dude was totally cross stitching a pokemon. It looks really good too! He was so proud to present it to me, when I asked to see it after the practice. Seriously. This Pokemon kid has some serious grandma skillz.

im sorry i still can't get over this....IT WAS A POKEMON!

Oh yeah....

....My arm is free.


(and evidently I have like, alien fingers!?? Sheesh! why didn't anyone tell me that they were that freakishly long?!)

6...

Wonderful months with this crazy kid. I really love him.

I love you Colt, Happy Halfayear!

Knowing Is Everything...

Go see this movie.
