Seven random things about me:

1. When I hear a song I like I listen to it over and over again until I basically can't listen to it anymore.

2. I love trying new things especially if it is something that has to with being outside or active.

3. I know more about baseball than my husband (at least I did when we got married.)He may have caught up to me by now.

4. I love sports I love watching and playing any day, any time. I would rather be playing sports then doing almost anything else.

5. I love to go shopping by myself and every year on my birthday I take myself shopping.

6. I like to sleep wrapped up in a blanket. I think it comes from growing up when my room was always cold and I would have several blankets on my bed. Now I just take a blanket and completely wrap myself in it and then get under the covers.

7. I love getting getting my nails done. It makes me feel pretty. Too bad for a lab I havd this semester I can't have fake nails.

FALL and Football!!!

I love the fall! I noticed that the trees are starting to change and I love it. One thing Tim and I love most about fall is College Football and of course MLB playoffs (Go Boston!) Anyway, in favor of last nights game I am happy to say my Utes pulled it off again, thanks to some last minute momentum and Louie Sakoda.I am excited to see how the rest of the season plays out with both Utah and BYU being so good this year. Even though I was raised a BYU fan I am pretty sure I bleed RED now!! (Sorry my BYU fan readers)
Other then football I am just trying to survive school, it is keeping my plenty busy. I am just glad I will be done in august. Then again, it will be weird next fall when I don't have to go to school anymore.
Well thats all for now. I better get some homework done so I can watch the BYU game tonight!

Cheers!!!

Good Energy Chocolates!!!

If anyone likes chocolate it is me and I also like things that don't make me feel guilty afterwards. I came across these chocolates a few months ago and anyone that has tried them can tell you they are well worth the money. They come in chocolate covered caramel and chocolate mint and they are absolutely to die for. They are packed full of antioxidants, appetite suppressants, and energy boosting goodness. If you haven't tried them yet you need too. just let me know and I will get you one or you can buy your own box at the link below. Happy snacking! Oh and did I mention they have 3 g of sugar and only 70 guiltless calories. Enjoy!!!

Golf, College Football, A Movie, and lots of Rock band!!

So this last weekend as you can tell was quite eventful. We started a little early on thursday with the start of College Football!!! Then on Friday we went Miniture golfing with Kevin and Lori, Chris, Ash and Tay, and Mike. If anyone has ever seen me miniture golf (let's just say I lost and leave it at that).
Saturday we pretty much watched football all day long! Tim started out the day by going to his little brother Camerons first little league game. Then it was Utah vs Michigan in the big house. Thankfully they won but Tim was more excited for the BYU game so we had to miss a lot of the 4th quarter in HD on ABC to watch the BYU game on the Mountain(which I am not a fan of, but we will save my opinion on that for another day). Tim's Mom and stepdad and little sister Wendy came over and watched the game and finally got to see out apartment since we have lived her for about 9 months.
On sunday we went to Tim's sister and brother in laws house for dinner, a rousing game of Apples to Apples (which I won) and watched Les Miserables which apparently has been out for 10 years and I thought it was a new movie. Apparently I'm a little behind. Anyway after the movie we went up to Kevin and Lori's house to kick off Labor Day a little early where we ended up playing Rock Band until 3:30 am. Needless to say with us not getting home until almost 4am we slept in til about noon on monday.
Finally, we topped off the weekend with a family Barbeque with my Dads family and a family Softball game which I think is becoming the tradition since we all got together and played for fathers day.

A tribute to our summer!!!

Well since summmer is officially over for us I figured I would post a recap of all the fun things we did this summer. We started out our summer by going up to Park City for Memorial Day weekend with our Friends Kevin and Lori Olsen, as well as Lori's sister, brother-in-law and adorable niece Olivia and Chris. We had such a good time except for when we went swimming on sunday as we were walking out of the Sauna Tim cut his toe on the door and he was just gushing blood so after we got changed and bandaged him up just a little bit we went to the clinic in park city and Tim got 6 stitches. We thought oh great we are supposed to be going on a 5 day back packing trip in a week and Tim can't walk for a couple days great!

Well lucky for us his toe healed enought that we were able to still go down to Havasupai and go back packing. We also made it down to St. George for a couple days on the way there and we stopped overnight in Las Vegas on the way home so we could all shower and just to break up the over 12 hour drive back from Havasu.

After we got back from Havasu we did a lot of fun stuff with friends and family. We had a lot of time to sleep in and just take it easy this summer from the stress of school.

We went up to the Unitahs and went camping and fishing (amazingly Tim was the only one that caught a fish). Let's just say he doesn't claim to be a "fishermen". He always says if there is a log or moss at the bottom he will most surely catch it. The camping was fun because all of us girls had our copies of the final book in the Twilight Series "Breaking Dawn". So we were more then happy to sit and read while the boys fished. Except for the fact that we got rained on for about 4 hours on saturday I am glad we stuck it out because the food we made Saturday night was delish. I love dutch oven.

The next week we went to Bear Lake with both of our families. We headed up Thursday night and spent thursday night and Friday at the lake with Tim's Family. We had kayaks and just played on the water until it started to get really windy and cold so as we are leaving Kim (Tim's Stepmom) got stuck in the sand so we had to push her out before we could go wait an hour for pizza. (At least we were out of the rain). Then we headed up and stayed with my family friday night and went to the lake and played literally all day on the waverunners and a water trampoline that my brother-in-law Gavin brought and after about 8 or 9 hours on the beach all of us exhausted and fried. (Yes, I am still peeling after 2 Weeks) We headed back up to camp for some dutch oven and s'mores.

To cap off our summer we went to Salt Lake Bee's game with our friends Jared and Amanda and their adorable daughter Chloe and Seth and Amber. It was really fun to watch a baseball game because it's been a while for me. The Bee's won so that was good and they had probably the best Fireworks show I have seen in a long time.

New to this whole Blogging Idea.

Well I decided since that it is about time we jumped on the blogger bandwagon. I am excited to finally document what we are up to. I used to tell Tim that I don't want to scrapbook I just want to have everything digitally. Well now hopefully I am not just all talk and I will try to keep you posted and what we are up to.
