Anniversary Weekend

Sunday Oct. 28th was our 3rd Anniversary. I can't believe it has been 3 years already! Time sure went by fast. We decided this year to go to the Anniversary Inn in Logan. We had a fun time staying in the "Hollywood Romance Theater". The tub was great with a little tv right there by it...a big jetted tub! It was wonderful to relax! The Ranches HOA had a great deal where you pay $133.00 and then you can choose any room at any location for that price! We decided on one of the most expensive rooms because of the great deal. In fact we might just go and buy another gift certificate and wait to use it- they are good for a year. We had a great time while we were there, we drove by the Logan Temple- I had never seen it before. We went shopping in Logan and ate at the "Griss Mill"- they had really good food. It was a nice little get-a-away for Jared and I.




After we came home last night we decided to carve our pumpkins. This is not Jared's favorite thing to do but he will do it because I like to carve pumpkins. I should say he doesn't like to take all of the slimy stuff out, but he likes to carve them. And he likes to eat the seeds after I have cooked them. We had a pretty good time, even though the one I did looks nothing like the picture of the ghost! I hope now that the kids around here come Trick-or-Treating!



Here is a picture of our house for those of you who haven't seen it yet.

Tagged again!

I got tagged again! I really am not that interesting--hopefully I can think of 6 things to say!

The rules: Player lists 6 facts/habits about themselves. At the end of the post, player then tags 6 people and posts their names, then goes to their blog and posts a comment letting them know they've been tagged and asking them to read our blog for the rules.

1- I love to read. I find it really relaxing, but it has to be a book that really can pull me in. Most of the books I read are LDS books I can find at Seagull book or something like that.

2- I knocked out my two front teeth when I was in 9th grade. I was at my brothers baseball game on the bleachers and I tripped on something (probably my own two feet) and fell from the top of the bleachers to the bottom. I knocked my teeth completely out..they were put back in and I had to have a splint across my teeth for a few months. As a result I have had root canals (twice) and crowns. Now my crowns are breaking apart (thanks to the second root canals) and they will have to be replaced. It is a pain because I can't bite into anything! I know I look very strange to people when I have to cut up everything!


3- I love being an Aunt. I don't have kids of my own yet so I love to spoil my nieces and nephews. They are awesome kids!


4-I love shoes! When I got married Jared told me I had to get rid of some shoes because I had too many! I gave away probably 10 pair...and I still have too many for our closet. We just found some in a box that I haven't worn in a year..they have been packed away!

5- I am not a huge chocolate fan..but I love sunflower seeds! Once again due to my teeth it is hard for me to eat them!

6- I love to decorate for holidays--doesn't matter which one it is. I don't have much for some holidays and probably way too much for others.

I tag- Kristin Muir, Annaliese Cox, Megan Dean, Jennie Hatch (make that blog already!), Holly Blackhurst, Rebecca Van Wagenen (time to start that blog!), and one more Suzie Scherer (if you can find the time to start your blog :)

Snow!

We woke up to snow this morning..now it wasn't a ton of snow but a few inches! It was kind of nice to see..and the best part is, it already melted! Our grass is slowly coming in out back..we see little green blades coming up. With the snow we have a big mud pit out back. And we finally got some neighbors, it was a few weeks ago that they moved in. They seem very nice.

This week not much happened. Yesterday we went from Target to Wal mart looking for "Cars" and "Transformers". We found the double pack of Bumblebee that Krista wanted and got one for us. We decided to go to Provo to dinner at the "Brick Oven". That place was awesome! I had never been there before and I just might have found a new favorite place to eat.

A fun day!

Today I went to lunch with Jared's Aunt Donna, Aunt Patrice and cousin Elizabeth . We went to Gardner Village and had fried green tomatoes! They were so good, I also had the Tortilla soup..that was yummy! After lunch we walked around and saw all the decorations for Halloween. I bought a sunflower yard stake for our yard and a cute little chap stick with an "M" on the wrapper. That is a fun place to go this time of year. After we got done there Aunt Donna and I went and had pedicures! This was the second one I have had..both I got when Aunt Donna has been here from Alaska. It was so much fun! I love being pampered! Thanks Aunt Donna for a fun day!

Will it grow?

We planted our grass out back last week. The big question is will it grow? Jared seems to think that the frost came and killed it, or the rain came and washed it away. We don't have a little backyard, our front yard is pretty small. The backyard is almost done, expect for the grass! Jared & his Dad have spent many nights the past few months slaving away! The sprinklers are in, the curbs are in, the fence is up (all except the front part which the builder is suppose to do), the pond is a work in progress! Now we hope that the grass will grow! I will be so happy to have grass in the backyard, I am so sick of the dirt and mud coming into my house. And Missy (our dog) will be so happy to have somewhere to live other than the garage! And I am sure the golfers will love her as well...we hope she won't bark at them too much!

The Love Story

I thought this would be fun to do since it is almost our anniversary! I love to hear about how other people met!

1. Where did you meet your husband? We met online at LDSsingles. Jared started talking to me one night on there and asked me out. I was pretty busy at the time so I said it would have to wait. We ended meeting officially at our friend Melinda's little get together in Provo. We both went to the party..he came with a date! I thought that was the end of that.

2. What was the first thing you said to your husband? I probably said hi the first night. He on the other hand had no idea it was me..He thought I looked nothing like the picture I had on the website. He didn't have a picture up so I didn't know what to expect!

3. Where was your first date? Our first date was on a Wednesday night. We went out to dinner at Macaroni Grill. Then we went to see the Christmas lights on Temple Square. Afterward we went and got hot chocolate.


4. Where was your first kiss? It was at Jared's house. I was leaving for my cruise the next day, He wanted to make sure I remembered him.

5. How long did you date? We dated from December to May


6. Did you have a long or a short engagement? It was way too long! Six months! We could have done it much sooner but Krista (my sister) was having a baby that summer and I wanted to give her time to get better. And my birthday was in September so I didn't want it that month--I had to think about the gifts!

7. Where did you get engaged? At Jared's house..he made up a little scavenger hunt in his house that I had to do. He made up cute little poems for each room. At the end there was roses and an Italian charm bracelet with a charm that said "Will you marry me?". He was waiting downstairs with my ring and he got down on one knee and asked me.

8. When and Where were you married? October 28, 2004 in the Salt Lake Temple




9. How did the reception go? I thought it went pretty well. It was a rainy day..that much I remember. We had soup and salad, which was good considering the weather. We had an Open House in California-the building was double booked and we had to change our plans a few days before, but it all worked out.


10. How was the honeymoon? On our wedding night we stayed at the Anniversary Inn. We love that place now! In January 2005 we took a cruise to the Mexican Riviera! We are really want to go back next year!

11. Now I tag: Everyone! I would love to know how you met!
