Playing the piano


I have really long fingers and i constantly have people asking me if i play the piano. i wish! That would've been an amazing and useful talent lol

Day 21

something you wish you could forget.

well, why would i post it on here if i wan to forget it? lol Lets just let this one slide...

Day 20

somewhere you'd love to travel.



New Zealand

I just think its beautiful there. I would LOVE to go there someday.

Day 19

A picture (with you in it) that reminds you of a time you felt Love.





I really like this pic because it takes me back to that day and how excited we were. This picture was actually taken right BEFORE we were married. We did a lot of our single shots together that morning. This one was taken a few minutes before we went in. My best friend was taking our pictures and my dad was just kinda taking random shots on the side. This is one that he got in between shots with Lindsay. I love it cause we were so giddy and excite to get married :) Such a great day!

Day 18

your biggest insecurity.

This one's obvious lol...




My "all over the place" weight. I was a chubby little teenager. Then in high school, i went on weight watchers and lost a lot of weight and got down to my goal. then after getting married, i gained some. then after getting pregnant, a gained A LOT more. But now i have ALL the baby weight off and im working on my post wedding weight :) But ya, im definately insecure about it lol

Day 17

Something BIG happening in your life.






We are looking to buy a house! We are working with a realtor right now and are hopefully in our house in a couple of months :) we cant wait! Cross your fingers that everything goes well!

Day 16

A picture of the person you do the most ****** up things with.




LOTS of stories. Not a lot of time. Nuff said :)

Day 15

Something you want to do before you die.


I wanna go to Hawaii with my husband :)



I went to Hawaii with my dad, mom, little brother, little sister, and my best friend in 2004. It was a lot of fun but Hawaii is just SO romantic! The whole time that me and my best friend were there, we were talking about wanting a guy to take there lol We both said that we will take our husbands there someday. When Max and i got engaged, he promised that for our 5th anniversary, if money wasn't tight, we will go there :) Its ok if we aren't able to go in 2 years but, i just want to do it before i die haha

Day 14

A picture of someone you could never imagine your life without.

Easy one.

Day 13

Your favorite artist or group.

Well, if it were my early teenage years, you would've seen THIS pic up...



HAHAHA

And while i still enjoy me some NSYNC, i would have to say that now its...

Day 12

Someone who knows everything about you and loves you anyway.

This one is SO true :)



My best friend, Lindsay

I can go on and on about Lindsay lol She definetely knows EVERYTHING about me and she still wants to be my friend haha We met in high school. We found out that we had SO MUCH in common. We were pretty much inseperable that my dad called her my twin :) She made high school so much fun for me. We've been through so many adventures, awkward moments, and once in a lifetime experiences. She even came on my family trip to Hawaii where we went parasailing. it was so much fun! Those high school years were a blast.


And now, we are having fun being there for the big events in eachother's lives. i was her maid of honor and she was mine :)



We have kids that are only 5 months apart and its so much fun seeing them grow up together :)


She is truly my best friend and i dont know what i'd do without her :)

Day 11

Something you hate.

This is a pet peeve actually...




I HATE when i can gear someone chew! Even when i was younger, i couldn't eat breakfast at the same table with my siblings cause it annoyed me so bad. It drives me insane!

Day 10

Something you love.

Just 1 thing? OK let me think...




Need A Margarita
bath products from Bath and Body

I loooove this stuff! It has an awesome smell and leaves your skin so smooth. I always get the body wash and salt scrub. The smell stays on you for so long after your bath and i always have people saying that they love the perfume I'm wearing lol i even used it while i had morning sickness and it still doesn't make me sick. Highly recommended :)

Day 9

The person who has gotten you through the most.

I would have to say The PEOPLE that have gotten me through the most...

My siblings :)

We are all SO DIFFERENT! i think for that reason alone, they all have helped me in certain ways. And we had such a fun childhood :)

My sister Stephanie definately played the 'big sister' role. I always wanted to hang out in her room especially when her friends were over lol i definately was the annoying little sister. Theres exactly 3 1/2 years between us (exactly to the day lol). She would teach me and my friends dances that we would perform in front of the family haha I've always looked up to her and taken her advice on things.


My older sister, Alicia, is almost exactly 2 years older than me. With that age difference, she was always my older sister but growing up, we were also really good friends. Most of my childhood memories include her. We were VERY creative and had HUGE imagnations haha And now, she's the one i go to with problems and she always helps me out when i REALLY need it. When i got pregnant, she was the one i went to to get advice and she was the one that helped me when i had super bad morning sickness. AND Lydia is super obsessed with her :) lol




My little (well younger) brother, Ronnie, used to be my little sidekick when we were young. Most of our family videos show the 2 of us hanging out haha There's about 4 1/2 years between us. He has grown into such an awesome example for me. I love that he never would say 'IF i go on my mission' it has ALWAYS been 'when i go'. He's an awesome brother and i cant wait for him to come home THIS YEAR :D (its so weird its coming up! lol)


My little sister, Hillary (Chewy), is the clown of the family :) There's about 7 years between us. Growning up, she was always the annoying little sister but we have grown into really good friends :) We hang out a lot now and are constantly laughing. We have so many inside jokes. She is one of the funniest people i know.


I love that we are all so close and live close by eachother :)

Day 8

A picture that makes you laugh.




This is a picture of my niece, Leah :) It was back in 2007 at my best friends wedding. Look at that chunky monkey! It looks like there's rubber bands around her wrists and arms lol or that her body was just screwed together haha And knowing her now and how much of a skinny Minnie she is, makes this picture that much more funny :) i love that girl and i laugh every time is this.

Day 7

your most treasured item.

I can do the obvious and say my family but lets think of something different...




My Wedding ring (this was an engaement pic to i didnt have my wedding band yet)

I LOVE my ring. All i told Max was that i wanted a princess cut diamond and he did the rest himself :) Its a very different ring then i usually see (the sides have diamonds that have a pattern of circle then square. i love it and knowing that he took so much time trying to find the perfect one for me, makes me love it more :)

Day 6

Person you'd love to trade places with for a day.

HAHA i know this is a weird one but i would choose...



Samantha Brown from the Travel Channel

Let me explain! For her job, she gets PAID to go to exotic places! And she gets FREE EVERYTHING just to try it out and tell people about it. She got to go to Hawaii for 2 weeks and bring any friends she wanted. They got massages, pedis, manis, free food, and whatever else they wanted on the whole trip. Even just for a day...i can dream :) One lucky Lady!

Day 5

A picture of your favorite memory.

It was so hard for me to pick just 1 but as far as a favorite memory goes...



It was such a fun day. We all decided to go to 6 flags as a last hurrah before i moved to Arizona. We had an awesome time. Some of us even did bungee jumping there. We all decided to do the western shoot. it was a lot of fun to have them dress us up. And the whole time doing the shoot, we were just craking up and couldnt stop laughing for most of the shots. Wil found an eyeglass to wear and the rest of the boys found these guns sittin on a table and decided to use them as props haha It was a spur of the moment thing that i will NEVER forget :)

Day 4

Your favorite night.

This one's a no brainer for me :)



April 6, 2010

This night was the most amazing (and most painful night) for me. It truly was a miracle. We had been waiting and talking about her coming for awhile. It was just SO WEIRD seeing her and already loving her SO much. And seeing Max hold her for the first time just melted me. I cant believe that was almost a year ago!

Day 3

A picture of the cast from your favorite show



Arrested Development :)

All time favorite for me! If you havent seen it, you are missing out...

Day 2...

The person you have been closest with the longest...

I only have a few really close friends but, the one I've been closest to the LONGEST would have to be...




My cousin Kimber :)

Kimber and i have ALWAYS been really close. When we were younger we would spend HOURS playing barbies, doing each others make-up, singing karaoke haha, Disneyland trips, and SO much more :) A little while after moving out here to Arizona, she moved out here and we had a blast along with Lindsay :) And before i married Max, she was my singles ward buddy (she actually was there when i met him). She has been there for a lot of big moments for me.

She even caught the bouquet at my wedding :)





I just love her to pieces!

The 30 Day Challenge

A few of my friends are doing the 30 day challenge. They say that it makes them more thankful for what they have and think back on some fun memories. who doent want that? so, i wanna do this challenge :) People usually do it on facebook but i wannna keep mine a bit more private... I'm gonna try to keep up on it... Lets see if i can...

DAY 1 - A picture of yourself with 10 random or unknown facts



I'll try to be as random as i can haha

1. i dont like nuts or raisins. i can eat peanuts just by themselves but NEVER in anything. Dont know why.

2. i get VERY clausterphobic. When i watch a movie with someone in a tight spot, i cant breathe. There was also one time when my friend taped up my fingers together and i started hyperventalating haha its weird, i know lol

3. I had been planning my wedding since i was like 5 years old (before i even knew u needed a groom haha) but then when it came to my wedding, i basically had friends and family take over.

4. When i first met my husband, i was totally attracted to him but after talking to eachother for a bit (cause we r both very sarcastic) we couldnt stand eachother. we just ignored eachother at church and at other activities after that. it took us another couple weeks before we even spoke to eachother again. We finally started talking at a party and realized there was a spark :) been together ever since...

5. i faint when i get 2 hot or when i have my hands above my head 2 long haha its especially bad when i take a shower (with it being hot AND i have to have my arms up to wash my hair) When i wash my hair, i have to do it in steps to i can put my hands down for a bit lol

i'm probably sounding like a huge freak right now haha i swear im pretty normal...

6. I've ACCIDENTLY killed a few of my family pets when i was younger. nothing like a dog or anything but my mom bought me and my sisters rats and before we even turned on the car to go home, i squeezed it :( i was young and just got 2 excited. my family also had a bird named Ollie that i did the same thing to. i was so young i dont remember it but apparently i walked around after that saying "i killed Ollie". i SWEAR i love animals! but i was like that girl Elmyra on the looney toons haha i just loved them TOO much...

how bout some normal stuff, huh? lol...

7. I loooove long baths after work. i set up the portable DVD player and watch a good chick flick. Prolly my favorite thing ever.

8. i love sushi :) nuff said...

9. We are looking into buying a house this year :D i cant wait!

10. (another way random one) I have SO MANY of those dreams where you fall and then startle urself awake haha i guess im just a bad sleeper lol But it freaks me out everytime :)

Well there u have it. Day 1 down. i feel like such a freak now haha But its fun to think and laugh about those things. I challenge everyone to do this challenge. its a fun way to share things about urself :) Lets see what day 2 brings...
