No spoilers here...

So I went to the Twilight movie, I don't know what I was thinking when I thought I could stay up 'til 3am and go to work the next day at 8am. (Not to mention that my stomach DID NOT agree with all the JUNK food I ate at the movie) It just made me realize that I'm getting old! I am extremely happy that I went to a private showing...I don't think I could have handled the screaming 13 year old girls!!!

Welcome to the Coven

Twilight premiere is tonight at midnight and YES I will be there. Call me CRAZY but my father-in-law rented out the theatre. Now how could a girl turn that down? (even though it starts at midnight...and I have to be to work at 8am the next day!) All I have to say is that the movie BETTER be as good as the book! (who am I kidding??!!?)

B-Day wishes

At the beginning of the month, a fabulous friend of mine celebrated her 28th birthday. It was a very surreal birthday for her (and those close to her), having to celebrate her birth and mourn on the same day. So I wanted to do something very special for her. After a lot of thought, I decided that I would get her something that was warm and cozy (with the weather getting bitter) and something that she could do to escape from her thoughts.
That's her gift. A very soft blanket, aloe infused socks and a book (along with a homemade card). I really hope that she enjoys it as much as I think she will! (The best part is that I get to borrow the book when she's done reading it :) Happy Birthday!!!

Nobody’s perfect!

I just had to share with everyone my favorite physical feature about my dog...
Yes, that is his bum. To be more specific, I'm talking about his tail. If you look closely it's crooked...it goes off to the right and I absolutely love it because he is so stinkin' cute...but not quite perfect, but that makes him perfect for me and Daniel! It was hilarious when he first started to wag his tail, because it was just a short stumpy thing that isn't centered and it barely moved! (Yes, I realize I need to get a life and not focus so much on my dog...I just can't help it!) Not to mention that my dog is going through an "awkward" phase...kinda like a teenager..........

You see his ears? One has started to stand up on it's own, the other? Who knows what it is going to do???!?

My dog lives here, he's here to stay.

you don't like pets, be on your way.

he shares my home, my food, my space

this is his home, this is his place.

You will find dog hair on the floor,

he will alert you're at the door.

he may request a little pat,

a simple "no" will settle that.

It gripes me when I hear you say

"just how is it you live this way?

he smells, he sheds, he's in the way"..

"WHO ASKED YOU?" is all I can say..

He loves me more than anyone,

my voice is like the rising sun,

he merely has to hear me say

"C'mon boy, time to go and play"

then his tail wags and faces grin,

he bounces and hops and make a din.

he never says "no time for you",

he's always there, to GO and DO.

and if I'm sad? he's by my side

and if I'm mad? he circles wide

and if I laugh, he laughs with me

he understands, he always sees.

so once again, I say to you

come visit me, but know this too..

My dog lives here, he's here to stay.

you don't like pets, be on your way.

he shares my home, my food, my space

this is his home, this is his place..

(CHEESY as it may be...my mom e-mailed me this poem and I just had to share!)

Tommy boy

So yesterday Daniel started indoor soccer again. It's nice to have an excuse to get out of the house. We've become quite the home bodies lately (which is just fine with me!).Then right after his game we headed over to the in-laws because Tom (Daniel's little bro) was opening his mission calling and we didn't want to miss that! Daniel thought that he would be going to either Russia or Argentina, my guess was either Nepal or Canada...AND THE WINNER IS..............
MEEEEEE! He received his calling to the East Toronto Canadian Mission. Wow I'm good! Or just extremely competitive about everything! Anyway, Tom leaves on Feb. 4 2009 and he will be missed!

RSL

They did it...finally made it to the playoffs! My hubby is thrilled...I have never seen him so giddy for anything! Which in turn makes me extremely happy! Their first game was on Saturday (Nov. 1st) so we decided that we couldn't miss the very FIRST playoff game for RSL! This is right before the game started...It was so much fun and the new Rio Tinto Stadium looks AMAZING. And everyone was so loud...the cheering really got me into the game! But they sure did take their sweet time scoring the one and only goal of the night. They scored in the 90th minute (which is how they got to the playoffs in the first place, they won Colorado Rapids...who I HATE with a PASSION) we never lost hope though! It was the most remarkable thing ever...the whole stadium was chanting "RSL, RSL, RSL" and right at that point Yura Movsisyan scored the only goal of the game! This is the bench for RSL after we scored everyone was SHOUTING and SCREAMING and CHEERING and JUMPING!!! It was one of the most remarkable things I have ever seen in my life, I will never forget this experience!

The red, white and blue.

So I didn't vote...I should have but I didn't. It's really hard living in Utah and thinking that my vote would have made a difference. (Utah ALWAYS goes red.) I made up my mind before the results (which ended up in my favor) that no matter who was elected our new President, I would honor and support him 100%.

So I decided to go patriotic with my blog in honor of the election and celebrate our freedom and our beautiful country! (and I couldn't resist...I had to wear red, white and blue to work today...partly to rub it in!)
Thank you to those of you who aren't lame and got out to vote yesterday!

Hallow'eeeeen

(Yes I'm a little late posting this...but at least I'm doing it)

We had a small Halloween party with friends this year and it was so much fun! Here are some of the costumes..Yep, that's me and Daniel as Lumber Jacks.

And this is Chris and Krista as a cat and a mouse, check out Krista's eyes...

CREEPY, huh?

Here is the best costume of all...As you can imagine, that didn't stay on him for very long! (Although I think a lot of the reason is because Daniel was so embarrassed for him!)

Any-hoo...we also made lots of Halloween inspired food, here is a pic of my "devil(ed) eyes"

and Krista's "witches brew"

And here is a pic of the "snake" that Stacy made
We all had LOADS of fun and I hope this is something we will continue to do!

So my little brothers birthday was on Thur. He turned 25, that's a quarter of a century...getting up there!!! I baked him a cake that was lopsided and lumpy (in my opinion it was worthy of "Cakewrecks"!) but he just said that it "takes after him". How sweet huh?I was so excited to do this for my 'lil bro. I called our other brother Josh and he came up from Brigham to sing "Happy Birthday" (which sounded DREADFUL!!).
I was also eager to give Bobby his birthday gifts. I got him some wood cutting boards that a guy from work made and a toaster oven so he can put his sandwiches in them and toast them (he claims it's the best!). I think he enjoyed himself and it was good to get together with the fam. Even though one was missing...Jeffy!
Anyway, Happy Birthday Bobby!!!
