The Wymount Warriors!!!

As you all know, it is basketball season and the men of our ward have all stepped up to the plate and have created their own intramural (spelling?) basketball team. Their name? The Wymount Warriors!!! Tonight they had a game and it was so close! They played against a younger, single's ward team (who were very rude, I must say) and the warriors did great! They didn't win, but man did they hustle! :) Jake got pushed over several times and the result is this picture. His leg hurt pretty bad when we got home so he whipped out his handy-dandy messager and put it to work. We've used it once since we've been married. I am proud of my Jake and his mighty Wymount Warrior team! GO WARRIORS!

As a sidenote, one of the team members called beforehand and asked if I would be the scorekeeper for the game. I quickly said, "Jake, NO! I am so scared of that!" So being the sweet Jake that he is, he replies "Hey, um, I don't think so. My wife is scared of that." :) So I get to the game and what do they still need? A scorekeeper. Gosh! So I ended up scorekeeping and all of the guys on the team all came up to me and thanked me for scorekeeping and kept bribing me with cookies. I totally and completely think that they had a big party before the game and made fun of me...."hahaha!!! She was scared of scorekeeping? bwhahahah!" Oh well. :)

Mom, You're Never Going to Believe This

Mom, you will be so proud of me when you hear that today I decided to do a little spring cleaning. I don't know what got into me. It was warm outside, the birds were singing, and I just got into the cleaning mood. So I began by sweeping out our bathroom; it needed to be done so badly. Then I vacuumed the floor including all of the little crevases (spelling?) along the wall. Yes, I got down on my hands and knees and vacuumed. :) Anyway, that is what I did today and I thought I would post it and see what kind of shocked expressions would come from my mom. :) haha!

My "Cute Apartment" Goals

So the other day I started to get frustrated because I didn't have any projects...I'm lame, I know. But I am getting sick of school and tired of sitting around. So I came up with a list of goals to make my apartment even cuter (It is already the cutest apartment known to man.) So here is my list.

1-A rug to go under our coffee table. There is one at IKEA that I am planning on buying.

2-An oversized clock to put up on our wall above our couch. I have always wanted one of these.

3-Pillows for our couch. ACCOMPLISHED! This picture is of the pillows we picked out to finish our couch's new look!

4-A bookshelf that we can store movies and books on. I am planning on painting it a nice antique white!

5-Eventually I would like a TV stand that has drawers.

Well there's my list! For now it is keeping me busy and keeping my mind occupied! :) I am so excited!!!

The Best Valentine's Day EVER!

This Valentine's Day was an amazing day! It started off with work, which was so great but upon returning to our home I found a rose, a card, a cookie, and a bunch of chocolates waiting for me! :) This year we decided to stay home and celebrate Valentine's Day. Last year's Valentine's Day was the day that Jake proposed to me. We went out and had dinner at Red Lobster and ended up waiting there for over 2 hours in the line! So this year we stayed home. We ordered Brick Oven pizza, drank Martenelli's, and watched "The Secret Life of Bees" and "Madagascar 2." It was a quiet evening but it was the BEST DAY EVER!!! Finally, I have a reason to celebrate Valentine's Day! :)

I Want My Baby Back Ribs....Barbeque Sauce

Mmmmm.....My masterpiece!!! This little project of mine started yesterday around 3:00pm and ended today at 5:45pm. Yes, over 24 hours. But it was dang well worth it! Just look at all of those heavenly juices oozing out of that tender rack of meat. Add to that the delicious flavor of caramlized sugar and barbeque sauce. Yes, we were definetely very messy by the end of the meal. This one is 100% getting added to our repertoire. :)

Drumroll Please......

Well everyone I was accepted into the Elementary Education program!!! Last night Jake went out to check the mail and came back with a rather thick letter from the department of education addressed to me! I hurried and opened it and was happy to see that I had been accepted! I have to have one last interview with the guy in charge (have no idea what his name is) and then I just need to register for my classes. I will begin with the Arts Semester next Fall. The classes sound like so much fun! Art, Dance, Theater, Math, and Children's Literature. Totally and completely up my ally! I am getting really excited about studying el ed and I can't wait to do all of the fun projects! :) So now all I have to do is wait until next Fall semester......I have a feeling that it is going to seem like forever!!!

Way Too Much Information

Well I have once again been "tagged" by Nikelle and this time I must think of 25 interesting things about myself. This is hard and as of right now I am drawing a blank. :) But let me give this a shot.
1- I am a newlywed! Yay! I was married on May 9th of 2008. I am a bit obsessed and get so excited every month on the 9th to know that we are one more month closer to our one year anniversary! And I love my husband!
2- I have a VERY low tolerance for pain. I hate having band-aids taken off, cankers, and my time of the month.
3- I am really baby hungry right now. The other day I researched the price of cute baby cribs and picked out the one I want. No, I am not pregnant. However, all I have to do is think about the epidural and my hunger goes straight away! :)
4- I love to sleep with socks on. Fortunately, I have a very sweet husband who says that it doesn't bother him.
5- My idea of the perfect day would be: raining outside, Jake and I are home, and we are watching a great movie together.
6- I LOVE Doritos, Dr. Pepper and Tic-Tacs.
7- My favorite colors are green, red, brown, cream......
8- My favorite store would have to be Target. I am quite certain that it is the greatest place to buy clothes, cute accessories for my home, and anything else you could possibly need.
9- Someday I would love to visit England. I secretly believe that I should have been born during the Jane Austen time period. :)
10- I have 6 best friends: Jake, Mom, Dad, Scott, Caroline and Margaret (who is my twin).
11- I am majoring in Elementary Education right now. However, I wish they had a major that was devoted to the decorating of the classrooms and not necessarily the teaching. I have BIG plans for my classroom someday.
12- I watched "Hairspray" the other day and immediately longed for a 50's style dress. So I went online and looked up vintage patterns. That mini-obsession lasted only about ten minutes.
13- I once broke my nose and believe that that was the cause of my extreme dislike of all doctors. I HATE the dentist....scariest experiences of my life.
14- I really want a dog when I am older and have my own house. But then I realize that I have had a dog before and didn't really like the whole experience. So then I change my mind.
15- I am always craving something. Yesterday I was craving Del Taco's soft tacos. Too bad I never crave anything healthy.....
16- I love the temple! I really think that it is the best place on the earth and the only place to find true peace.
17- If I could I would buy clothes from J.Crew and as I am writing this I can see the worried look spread across Jake's face....Don't worry sweetie! :)
18- I am going to be vain for this one and just say that I have the cutest apartment in the world!
19- I love to do crafty things. Someday I will have a craft room in my house and I am so excited!
20- I play the harp and love it! Although, I don't practice as much as I should....
21- I love to read! Some of my favorite authors include: Mary Higgins Clark, Jane Austen, Stephenie Meyer, and all of the classics!
22- I am really forgetful. Even writing this blog I have had to check my previous 21 interesting things to make sure I wasn't repeating anything.
23- I love to go home! I come up with any excuse to visit my family in Lehi! I love you guys!
24- I am a very sensitive person....but I am working on not letting things bug me, annoy me, or hurt my feelings. I cried today when I watched Home Improvement and Heidi had her baby. Pathetic.:)
25- I can't believe I found twenty-five interesting things about me!!! Who knew there was so much to say...

OK. I have done the dirty deed and I am sure you are all thinking 'Whoa! That was way too much information!' But now I am tagging: Caroline, Mom, and Aunt Jenny! So you three get to do this! hahahah!
