Twilight...

So, I finally saw Twilight! What's really great is that Mike and my brother Jordan came with me and both liked it. I think Jordan might even read the books now. Anyway, my opinion of the movie is that s was good. Not my favorite but good. I think what really bugged me was Edward. He is a very strong, rock solid guy, who is confident in himself and oh so smooth with the ladies. In the movie he almost came off as timid and scared. I hated that. But other than that I liked it. So the real question is...WILL THERE BE ANOTHER ONE? You let me know what you think. I personally think there will be. Especially cause this one was so popular. You tell me!

I was tagged again!

So my sister tagged me again! She always gets me by saying at the end that she tags anyone who reads her blog. That's stupid. Anyway, I have to go to the 4th folder of my pics and post the 4th picture and then do the same in my 6th folder. Enjoy the random pictures.

This picture is of my brother-in-law, Scott, and my nephew Bayles. Isn't he cute? I mean Bayles of course.

Who new my two nephews would miraculously be in those folders? This is a pic of Luke. Mike thought is would be funny to give him a can of beer from my grandparents house so he could take a funny picture. I don't think it's that funny but whatever.

I don't tag anyone cause I'm nice and let's admit it, no one likes to do these things anyway.

Cancelled!

So I LOVE watching Lipstick Jungle. It's seriously my favorite show right now, I love the clothes, the jewelry, everything. It's like watching Sex and the City without all the sex. I just found out that it's cancelled! What??? Why do they cancel shows? It's like how they cancelled Arrested Developement! That's one of the funniest shows! I just don't understand. I'm just mad at the T.V stations. It's all their fault!

I was tagged!

So my sister tagged me to write about Mike. I'm bored so I thought I would finally do it. This is one of my favorite pics of Mike. It cracks me up!

1. Where did we meet?

Long story short, he cut my hair and the rest is history!

2.How long did you date?

1 year and 1 month before we got married.

3.How long have you been married?

1 year baby!

4.What does he do that surprises you?

He's just a sweetheart! He's always thinking about my needs and others needs. Most men aren't like that!

5.What is your favorite feature of his?

It's hard to just choose one... but I think I would say his cute little nose or his blue eyes (sometimes they are green, but I like them both)

6.What is your favorite quality of his?

His generosity! He's the most generous person i know!

7.Does he have a nick name for you?

No not really, he just calls me babe. It's a huge shock when he calls me Allie!!!

8.What is his favorite color?

Green through and through!

9.What is his favorite food?

He's always craving fries and a burger, but he also loves his mommy's cooking. I'll have to ask him. I really don't know.

10. What is his favorite sport?

For sure Ultimate Fighting!

11.When and where was your first kiss?

It was one week after we started dating and we where watching a movie....I kissed him! He'll never live it down for being a wimp!

12.Favorite thing to do as a couple?

Hands down it would be dinner and a movie. We are huge movie watchers.

13.Does he have a hidden talent?

Mike is a really good singer. You would never know but when we started dating Mike was taking voice lessons!

14.How old is he?

The big 30!

15.Who said I love you first?

I think is was him, but I'm pretty sure I hinted it so much that he said it first by agreeing with me!

16.What is his favorite type of music?

I would say Rock. He likes everything except country. His favorite band is Linkin Park...I think that says a lot.

17.What do you admire most about him?

He's very goal oriented! He is always trying to do more in life. I love that he's a hard worker. Although sometimes I think he works a little too hard. He's in desperate need of a really good vacation.

18.Do you think he'll read this?

Oh no! I don't think he has ever read our blog!

I dont' tag anyone! I'm letting you all have a break from tagging!

30 years flying!

My Mommy has been a flight attendant for 30 years! Can you believe that? She got her pin and stuff a couple of weeks ago but I think it's such a cool accomplishment I had to share it with all of you! Way to go mommy! I love you.

The View

As some of you know, I watch The View some mornings. It's probably not the best thing for me, considering I get a little heated about the subjects. However, today really hit me! The subject of gay marriage has been a topic the past couple of days. Now that prop 8 was passed in Cali some of the ladies have a lot to say about it. Whoopi, for one, was talking about how she protested at a local Mormon church for her friends because we are the reason that prop 8 passed. Pretty sure no one in the church would go into the voting booths and force people to vote prop 8. She also said it's always good to hear all the sides of the story, so I wrote in an e-mail. Who knows if it will be read or not but I thought it was important to share our story as members and what we really stand for. I explained that we are not againsts gays, we only believe that marriage is sacred, and is sacred between a man and a woman. I also said what I told you guys, we didn't force andyone to vote for prop 8, we only asked that people would consider it and guess what the rest of California agreed with us. They believe as we do, that marriage should be between a man and a woman. What do you guys think?

1 year down, 1 to go...

As Mike would say. Of course he is just kidding! Anyway, today was our 1 year anniversary. You know I think it's funny how slow time went before our wedding came and then once we were married, it seemed like time went by super fast. So today we celebrated by going to the spa, going to the dinosaur museum, and then going to the melting pot for dinner. So, what all happened this past year? Where to start... Mike and I got Raven this year, which was wonderful. I think it really brought reality into our lives. It was like having a child without having to breast feed and pop anything out of my va jay-jay. We had to suffer with waking up at all hours of the night, cleaning up all the messes, and dealing with the enormous amount of energy one has at such a young age. We also have had to deal with the huge amount of stress we have been put in with trying to buy a house, twice! That and we moved into the ghetto of Provo. Believe it or not, we are still alive! But hey, even though this year was difficult, it was oh so wonderful. I love Mike more than anything and we have grown so close. I'm so excited for this next year and all the fun surprises it has in store. So, happy 1 year to us!

Look Courtney, we saw Ross Gellar working his magic and finding all those fossils!

Soel Boutique

So a lot of people don't know where I work, and I think it's because I never really talk about it on here. I always talk about Mike's work! So, I took some pics today so you all know the cute things we carry and so you kinda get an idea of why I love where I work!

Way cute outfit! I dressed this gal myself!

Cute...the mannequins are going on a date!
