Green Thumb??
I have become extremely interested in gardens lately and so I took this amazing class by Gordon Wells, purchased his book, and then tried his tips on my own. This is the product of our Spring garden. I was so excited to get it all planted. 
Little did I know that I would wake up the next morning to my garden covered in snow. I was so sad that I didn't even want to go out to check on my plants. The next day I walked out and most of my plants looked pretty good but my peas are completely smashed to the ground. Any way, we'll see how it turns out. I can't wait to eat my own home grown food!!!

Funny Stories
K, I have had some really funny things happen the last couple weeks and I wanted to share two of them.
One story happened on a Saturday afternoon when I decided to run to good old WalMart. I was with my little brother and we were speed walking to the back because we were in a hurry. But, if any of you really know me, I will stop anything for free food. On the way to the back of the store, I see this lovely sample booth for pizza. So, of course, we stopped to get a sample. The lady who was keeping the stock of pizza samples up to consumption, all of a sudden says loudly in my face, "How old are you?" Being 23, I ignore her because she couldn't possibly be speaking to me, and I go to grab my sample and she says it again in my face, "How old are you?" I look at her puzzled and I say, "Are you talking to me?" She says, "I am just making sure that you are at least 18, because if not, then you need an adult to accompany you because you may be allergic to something in this sample." I look at her in awe and respond with my age and she was totally embarrassed. So, we got our samples and left the store laughing all of the way home.
The next story happened while I was working. I had to run to the bank. I pulled up in one of the pull throughs and I see this older guy parked in his car next to me. We had eye contact and smiled politely. I sent the deposit in and I was sitting in my car waiting. Next thing that I know, there is this terribly annoying fly in my car. I am watching it fly around hoping that it will go out of my driver's window. It ends up landing, so conveniently, on the passenger window. I am staring at it, wondering what I could hit it with. I then realized that the guy thought that I was staring at him, and not the fly on the window. I quickly look away and am avoiding and ignoring him as best as I can. This lasted only a few seconds and then the fly started on his adventure again and I started to follow his path again. The fly starts flying toward the passenger window again and I have a brilliant plan that if I have two window's open, then I have a better chance of that darn fly getting out. I start to roll the passenger window down, and again realize that the older man thinks that I am rolling the window down to talk or something. He is just staring at me and has this look on his face. I quickly roll the window back up and luckily I was saved! My deposit receipt had just come back and I sped away.
Holy Cow!! Sorry man, I wasn't staring at you...I just wanted the fly out of my car!! hahaha

UPDATE!!!
I know that's an original title, but hey, it's been a while since I have blogged and after all, it is an update.
First off: We bought a house!!! We are sooo excited. 
This is our cute little house! We haven't moved in yet because we are fixing some things first. We will post some before and after pictures after we are done. The house is in Provo, in a neighborhood off of Center Street on your way to the lake. So far, the neighbors are absolutely amazing! Oh, and I can't wait to invite you guys over to see it. I'll even make you dinner :)
Second: I started a new job and I love it! I work at L&T Construction in the office. I do accounting, I answer the phones, and I assist the project manager/president/v.p in whatever they need. I really like it! I still work at my old job (Prototyping Management Corp) a couple hours a week, keeping up with all of their accounting. It works out so nicely cause then I earn a little extra moola, which is always nice.
Third: McKenna, my cute sister, is ENGAGED!!! She is getting married in December and moving into the apartment that we were living in.
Anyway, that's a short update, but an update nonetheless.

WORLD CUP!!!!!! Oh, how I love this game!
It's 5:30 am and our alarm clock goes off, and for once we are able to get out of bed easily, which for me, doesn't happen very often. Why would today be any different than any other ordinary day? Well, the WORLD CUP could be the reason!!! I love events like this that bring the whole world together to unite and as you watch you want every team to do well. Of course, you have your favorites, but there usually isn't a team that you want to do terrible. It's the same with the Olympics!
I had to share this commercial because I LOVE it!! I hope you enjoy it too.

Fun times...
So, I am the worst at updating this blog and then have to combine 10 posts into one and this post will be no different. I wanted to include the big events since we were married and then update it a bit more once I was caught up. I think this will bring everything up to date...What a relief!!! So in August, I walked for graduation and then actually graduated from BYU in Psychology with a Business minor in December. I loved my major but have no idea what I want to do with it. So, if you have any suggestions or ideas for me, then please pass them along. 
My wonderful family that came and supported me. I sure do love them all!!!
Later, we went with our awesome friends to Oklahoma/Texas for the BYU vs. Oklahoma game. That was soooo fun. The Ruggles are from Oklahoma and so we were able to meet their families and spend some time at their homes. It was such a blast!!!
The Cowboy's Stadium was INCREDIBLE!! I would move to Texas just because of this stadium. BYU won, which made it an even better game!
This was also the first time that I had been to 6 Flags! That place is awesome and crazy. The rides were intense. We had a lot of fun!
This is all of us going for a midnight swim at Colleen's house. Ruggles wasn't there, typical, because he chose to go to bed. We also went to the lake and used Jet Ski's...FUN!!
Mark and I went to the Ferrari challenge and saw some sweet cars. I was actually surprised by how fun this was. We were able to see some amazing cars race around the track. I wouldn't mind having a Ferrari :)
At the beginning of May, Mark and I went to Virginia to visit Mark's family. While we were there we went to New York for two days. Sadly, I didn't take many pictures from the vacation but the few that I did take, I'll post!! The picture above makes me laugh soooooooo hard because it says, "Don't Honk, $350 Penalty." Well, if any of you have been to NY, then you will know that people drive while laying on the horn. I was laughing hysterically because we would be at a stop light and then right before it would turn green the person behind us would already be honking at us. CRAZY FREAKING DRIVERS!!! It was nice to drive and walk around NY. I really love visiting that place. We took the families van, which happens to be 6 feet 8 inches and the only places to park in NY take cars 6 feet 6 inches or lower. Needless to say, we did a lot of driving because there was no place to park.
While in Virginia we went and saw Mount Vernon (George Washington's house). This house is HUGE. He was one rich dude. It was cool to walk down the road by his house and stand in some of the same places that he stood. If you haven't been to his house, then some day you should.
This is the tomb of George Washington. I thought it was soooo crazy that such an influential person was buried right there and I was so close to him. I can't wait to meet him one day.

Lastly......on May 27, 2010 we had our 2nd anniversary!!! For our 1st anniversary, we went camping and to "The Roof" and we liked it so much that we wanted to go camping again for our 2nd. Having an anniversary the same weekend as Memorial Day weekend makes it a little hard though. We ended up just making tin foil dinners one night...yum yum and going to Ruby River the next night.
