Morning Glory

I am not, i repeat, NOT a morning person. let me rephrase that, i love the mornings! i love to get things done and feel like i have accomplished something before the afternoon comes. however, to take that first step out of bed is NOT my thing.

Once i am up and going i am fine and dandy, but if you want me to get up and going, you will have to move heaven and earth. Just ask Mark. i think i may have brought him to tears the other day with all the mean things i said when he was trying to get me out of bed. (sorry honey! I'm not myself i promise!) This is where i would like to discuss the real me, and the morning (in bed) me. As probably everyone who reads this knows, i am a fairly nice person, or at least i like to think so. but the bed me will do, or say, anything to stay in bed; even for just 1 more snooze. I am the master of convincing myself that i have all the time in the world to get ready and be to work on time, even though i only have 30 minutes.

The real me is very practical. she makes plans, has goals, and has a whole list of things she would LOVE to wake up early for. but when the time comes for me to get out of bed and do all those things, the bed me takes over. its a horrible thing.

I have always had this problem. i just love to sleep and lay in my nice comfy bed.

I Love This Time of Year

For just this very reason

In fact, Mark just called me as i was writing this post saying that he just had a Reese's egg and we need to stock up. I couldn't agree more babe!

Playin' Hooky

Yesterday Mark and I decided that we needed a break. So, we took work off and headed up to Park City to ski at The Canyons. It was so fun! we used some passes that we had been saving so we had a lovely free time! I was completely exhausted! I've never been skiing all day before and I'm feelin' it today! but it was very worth it to spend the entire day with my love muffin!

Chocolate Cake!

This past weekend we got to go to the BYU basketball game with Mark's parent's. (it was our Christmas gift to them). during the game they made an announcement that if BYU scored 80 points or more we could bring our ticket stubs into Magleby's for a slice of free chocolate cake! Now, sadly, BYU lost their final game and the championship, but they DID score 81 points!

So here we are getting our free cake!

Mark so excited to take his first bite!

Glorious. Simply glorious.

yes, i actually licked my plate.

and i was so disappointed when it was gone.

I would like to thank the BYU men's basketball team and Magleby's for making this post possible.

Ode To My Blow Dryer

I suffered a tragedy today. my blow dryer has officially died. At the worst possible time; at 7:40 am when i had wet hair and needed to be to work at 8:00 am. We have had a great go, my blow dryer and me. he didn't last incredibly long, but what can i say? he was cheap. I have enjoyed his retractable cord and although the "cord" button broke, i still found a way to make it work. Up until now he has been very reliable and trustworthy. thanks for the past 3 years.


i will miss you blow dryer!

The Ballroom Dance Kid

Due to Tamra's question regarding the "old dance medals" comment from the previous post, I figured I had better just clear things up now. From about the third grade to the seventh grade, I was a ballroom dancer.

The Cumberbun. My accessory of choice.

I was quite the waltz and quickstepper, but I also took a close second to Shakira with my hip shaking cha-cha!

Valentines Day

Well I have finally updated my blog. I have several new posts, so scroll down if you would like to see them all. We took some cheesey pictures of us today for V-day. Here we are just before leaving for church.

Mark got me this cute new headband!
