Dear Ray Bans

Dear Ray Ban Makers-

If you used Edward Cullen as your spokesman, I can personally guarantee a purchase of at least 3 pairs of sunglasses from the advertisement. I would buy 1 for my lovely husband, and 2 for me, because I too would like to look like Edward Cullen.

Thank you for making such smoking hot glasses, which makes a good looking vampire, even better looking. Change your advertisment, and change peoples lives. Thank you.

State Champs

RemiMISSING

Opening Night

Opening night at home tomorrow for the Jazz (vs. Nuggets). Tis' the season!

W-I-M-P

I was always taught to be a tough girl... but considering I have been congested from the moment we stepped off the plane from Hawaii, and not able to talk for the past week I am going to throw in the towel, and go see the doc tomorrow... Wish me luck. However, on a better note, I did get a new shirt today:

And I love it. Devan also got on the new shirt train and got the ol' Maximillias t-shirt that looks like the jersey. Go blue or go home. Thanks team.

Quirks

Thanks Ra-Ra for the tag.  6 quirks you may not know about me:

1.  I must have my door locked (all 3 locks) all windows closed every night and house/closets/rooms checked too.  I will check 3 or 4 times before I finally fall asleep.   Even after I have eyes closed, just about asleep, I usually have to double check with either Devan or get up to make sure they are locked and everything on the home-front is safe.

2.  I don't measure anything when it comes to cooking.  Actually, I feel like if I do measure I know whatever I am cooking will taste terrible, it's just the way it is.  I have to put things in as I please, and can't follow a recipe or I won't like it.

3.  I am kinda obsessed with being the super-fans of certain teams (Jazz, BYU, Timpview).  If anyone thinks they know more or are the bigger super-fan my face gets all hot and and my blood boils.  I insist that Devan, myself (and a few friends) are the ultimate fans and truly know the most!

4.  Kind of like number 1, but I am a MAJOR scaredy-cat.  Not only scary movies, walking to my car alone at night, being alone at night, but even down to watching Prison Break or Hero's.  I have to watch a happy show after those, or if I get riled up or scared it takes me quite a long time to calm down because my mind races like you would not believe.  The last scary movie I watched (The Grudge) I cried the entire time (in the movie theatre), which is sad because everyone says it isn't even scary-but I had nightmares for days.  Any time I watch LOST, it's a guaranteed scary dream for the next couple nights.

5.  I talk to my turtles funny.  I swear they can hear me and they love me lots.  They get the special goo-goo-ga-ga baby talk and get treats like royals.  I have a crazy obsession with not only my turtles, but ALL animals.  I love animals with a passion, and anytime one dies or gets hurt in a movie, I cry (and totally try to hide it from Dev, but it never works- three words I Am Legend).

6.  There in nothing more important to me than my husband and my family.  I insist on making sure I say I love you every time I talk on the phone or see them.  Even if they hang up quickly, or close the door, I will call back or walk in to make sure they heard me say I love you.  I get worried that they will forget that and it will hurt their feelings.  Also, I get worried that something bad will happen to them if I don't - the one time I don't.  You never know and I always always say I love you to whoever I can whenever I can.  So to all my family... I love you! :-)

So I guess we all have our quirks, which bring laughs, worries, and faults (like my own).  I hope all of you enjoy reading others quirks as I do.  I tag Ray-I-Fer, Lindsay T, Emily or Garrett.

'Uh Oh'

Big shout out to Carl Lewis. I have been thinking a lot about him lately, and somewhat feeling his pain when he so humbly decided to sing us the national anthom. Listen here to hear: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_uDc5tQxmJY. I have had quite a few 'Ut Oh' moments in the past few days which would include (but not limited to)

1. Having our laptop kick the bucket after only a mere 1 yr. 10 month life span... BOO
2. Having to sing the "Give Me the Beat Boys" song in a concert with Sierra
3. Almost getting my head cut off by a chainsaw by Matt Dorme (yes, the Matt from So You Think You Can Dance) at a dance concert, also with Sierra - while holding hands, interlocking style and a tear streaming down my cheek.
4. Watching the new Twilight trailer for about 30 mintues straight, over and over again.
5. Trying to find a clever Halloween costume, which is looking like resulting in being Dee Brown or Ronnie Price for the second year in a row.
6. Realizing that having 3 hours worth of TiVo everynight is NOT ok.
7. Realizing that I am really and truly secretly in love with Knight Rider.
8. And finally, realizing along with my laptop kicking the bucket, also means all my pictures are on there, and somehow I need to surgically extract them.

So Carl, this ones for you. I'll make up for it sometime!

Stinkin' Good Times Part 1

And were home from paradise, aka Kona, Hawaii. We were thrown right back into the scuffle of work and school after gaining 10 pounds, shopping and playing cards like there was no tomorrow and of course laying on the 80 degree weather, baby blue water beaches for 2 weeks. No Mercy I guess when your back to real life and playing house. Here are some pics:

We started out with snowcones the size of a human head (Only the first of about 12, so like 1 human head a day)
The happy couples, and not cuse we are together, cuse we have snow cones!
Finished the entire thing! The bottom is the best anyway because all the flavors mix together plus you get a little bit of creaminess for the ice cream that was in the middle that melted. YUMMM!
Went on a little drive up the hill and looked out
The happy couples, and this time because we are together!

The view from the lanai at the house, the beach was just across the street. We were right across from some of the best waves on the Kona side of the island so there were always locals out there surfing.

Some delicious white pinapple - it tasted just like candy... jucy, delicious candy!Some delicious avacados, the size of my hand - courtsey of the wonderful Hawaii farmers-market.

This is us at the Volcano. It erupted about a month before we got there and is just DUMPING into the ocean. You can see the smoke in both of the pictures, it was really neat.

We saw waterfalls, lots and lots of beautiful waterfalls!

Beaches, Beaches and lot of beautiful beaches!An absolutly KILLER boogie-boarding wave. We sat and watched all the people as we were having a delicious dinner on the beach.

A few notes:

Firstly, thank you Clint and Stef for such a great time. We totally partied like it was 1999.

Secondly, for all of you who are jealous... just wait for "Stinkin' Good Times Part 2". We had a great time and have more pictures to post - I don't want to bore anyone with a mile-long post of pictures of beautiful Hawaii... Actually I need to go to the mall so I need to peace-out. Well, Peace Out.

Ocho Cinco

Just wanted to give Dev's favorite player a big shout-out:

This guy. Chad Johnson has offically changed his name. "As of Thursday 9-4-2008; Florida courts have ruled that Chad Johnson will offically be known as Chad Ocho Cinco." Shout out to a future H.O.F. , the guy formally known as Chad Johnson, and the guy who would make the NFL a little less interesing.

PS Chad:

85 is actually ochenta cinco not ocho cinco, but who really cares...
