Babysitting


Matt and I watched my nephews one night for my sister Sharon. Our night consisted of guitar hero for two hours. Jake's getting pretty good, Justin will be good he picks up fast, and little Kyle, well he thinks he's playing. We turned off the game and thought popped popcorn and a movie would be fun. We turned on the popcorn machine and I said well stand together so when the popcorn starts I can get a picture. If you look close you will see the lid starting to fly off. After the picture was taken popcorn flew everywhere. Jake ran away, Justin jumped off the counter, I stepped away, Matt stood there for a few seconds as Kyle was left on the counter with the popcorn flying all around him. He was terrified as all of us were screaming(except Matt of course) and not helping him down, luckily Matt came to the rescue, he grabbed Kyle and unplugged the popcorn machine. We had a pretty good laugh after wards.

I have a great wife.

Melissa is sleeping on the chair next to me and so I thought I'd put something on here. I wanted to thank Melissa for the wonderful day yesterday. She wanted everthing to be nice for me. She even went to see a Bond movie with me. My wife loves me and I love her too.

Basket Stealer


Well to my much surprise, we now have another basket stealer. I came home from work today to find Reno in our handtowel basket sound asleep. I guess we will have to find a new home for our handtowels.

Crafts.....







I must say I have been pretty proud of my crafts that I have made lately. The family home evening board was done a couple of months ago for enrichment. It didn't take long so it was pretty easy, however the give thanks and the family wall hanging is a different story. I made these during super Saturday, and it took a total of five hours. You see, I made two of everything, when my sister heard of the cute things we were making, she said sign me up and I'll come too. Well she ended up not being able to come, and since I had already pre-ordered I said well I'll make yours for you too. It wasn't but three minutes into the first project when I thought(and actually didn't stop thinking till I was done) "what have I gotten myself into?" It was so time consuming and the details were extreme, and I now dislike mod podge, for those of who don't know what that is, it's pretty much like glue and if you don't do it right then your project is done for, or you spend the next 45 minutes or so trying to get the bubbles smoothed out. After all the work(and I must admit the not so kind words I said in my mind) was done it turned out very nice, so I was happy.

Wedding Pictures















December 30 was a wonderful day. Matt and I were sealed together for all time and eternity in the Washington D.C. Temple. My mom, sister Sharon, Aunt Diana, and my Cousin RaeAnn were able to fly out from Utah to attend the Wedding. All of Matt's brothers and sister and their families were all able to attend as well. The day couldn't have been better, the sun was shinning and I was surrounded by many loved ones. The special part of the day was being sealed to my wonderful husband. I will always remember this special day.

A brief history of us.






Matt and I met early summer 2006. It didn't take long for us to know that we were meant for each other. We first met at ward prayer. Matt knew my roommates and came over to talk to them. I was so embarrassed because I had just gotten home from Texas and was not done up. Matt said later, that on the following Sunday when I was done up he took a second look at me and that's when it really started for him. I later said that it didn't take me that long. I knew from the moment we met. These pictures were taken in Moab on a trip we went on with friends. It was about a week later when Matt proposed to me. I picked him up off the ground when he did. You could say that I was excited.
Ok I started a blog! It does not look very good yet, but if I can figure out how to do everything, it might one day.
