Red Lips

I wore red lipstick for a whole month. Drew laughed at me, but I thought it was fun.

The good ol' days

Some days I miss being a kid. Here are a few memories I have with childhood.

1. We made up this game called "hut hut". Basically all of us kids would go under a blanket and walk around saying, "hut hut hut hut". My brothers always put me in the front because we would run into things and fall down the stairs. We had wide imaginations.

2. Every time we had a babysitter come over we would put a ton of pillows and blankets under the balcony and jump over. No wonder our babysitters hated us.

3. Tyson and I used to play street hockey with these kids named Mikey and Brock. Mikey didn't like that a girl was playing so one time he hit me upside the face with his hockey stick and gave me a bloody nose.

4. Mikey also hit me with a shovel and cracked open my arm.

5. One time we got in huge trouble so my parents said we were getting woopin's with the belt when we got home from California. Tyson and I were playing Cowboys and Indians. Tyson was only wearing his boyscout bandana as his "loin cloth". Sadly, he was also wearing it when it came time for the belt. Enough said.

I miss childhood.

Bananas in Pajamas

One of my all-time favs as a kid.

Corningware

It is these little beauties that make my world go round.

Every Mormon woman has to have at least a few pieces of Corningware. A casserole one, the smaller casserole one (because sometimes you're just eating for two), mugs, and the tiny corningware dish with the lid. There is something about Corningware that makes a small Sunday get-together with friends so much.... classier.

So the reason I say this is because I have a small story. The mugs (pictured at top) are a little gift Drew and I received for our wedding. For months we argued over whether to take them back or not. I tried returning them to every store but nobody would take them back. So finally I gave in and let Drew have them (which by the way I have never seen a grown man so happy). He started using them for EVERYTHING! My brother even sent him a Colombia drink called Panela and Drew would use the corningware cups because he thought they were sophisticated or something. Anyways, a few weeks ago all of the other dishes were dirty and I wanted to make homemade salad dressing. I used the mug. I have to say that these are the best mugs I have ever used. In fact, I use them for everything now. I use them for making dressings, drinking water, drinking cocoa, and even hiding candy. I would suggest that everyone invest in Corningware.

FFW'd

I just have to make it known. I fast-forward many scenes in many movies. Maybe it's because i'm impatient... I don't know. I do know that I always ffw the scene "Let's go to the movies" in Annie, and "Beauty School Dropout" in Grease. Who knows why, maybe it's a weird obsession.

I am a city girl.

Let me just say that I am a Vegas girl... 100%. I'm not quite sure Drew knew the extent of my cityness when he married me, but now he knows. For instance, we went camping a few months back. After and hour of being there I told him I wanted to go sleep in my own bed and take a shower. He made me stay the night, so the next day I told him I will never EVER go camping again. It's just not for me. Here are some of the many reasons I love the city:

You can go on the strip, dress up, and nobody will think you're weird. After all, there are a lot weirder things in Vegas. (don't look at my face in this picture, I was young)

You can drive 30 mins or less and see some of the most amazing shows ever created. Such as The Lion King as pictured above.


Honestly, who wouldn't want to live in a city where everything is accessible. I'm going to settle in Las Vegas, and that's a fact.

24 Marathon

So this weekend has been SO boring. Although, I did watch the entire 2nd season of 24. Everything has been so good. It's great having Tyson home and being able to call/text him whenever I want. Also, Drew's new job is so perfect for him. Plus, he looks hot in uniform and that's always a bonus. He does love the job though and it's nice that he can work 4 days on and 4 days off. My new exercise plan is working. I haven't made any desserts ALL week (I used to make them every night). The school has a new gym and it's huge so we are loving it. The indoor track is above the basketball court so I get to watch Drew play while I run. I also get to yell things out at him from above and nobody knows who it is :) He secretly likes it. Last night I talked to Tyson's "mission mom" on facebook. She is SO cute, her name is Shirley. She told me about her Young Women and how I better be good because they use our example of temple marriage in their lessons. So now i'm extra motivated to be better in life. Anyways, I hope everyone is doing well.
