Have You Ever.......

yes,my life is full of crazy and somewhat embarrassing moments :)

1. Have you ever walked into the wrong bathroom, not realizing it was the wrong one until you saw the urinals?

2. Have you ever made an animal homeless, by accident (see earlier bee post)?

3. Have you ever gotten someones name for a gift exchange that you know secretly dislikes you?

4. Have you ever secretly farted and then blamed it on an elderly person close by?

5. Have you ever gotten so surprised you started crying?

*Well until next Wednesday

Have you ever....

Christmas Travel

Travel Tip - Never sit in the seats in front of the Exit row.

Your seats DON'T lay back!

On a positive note, I LOVE my family, especially my grandpa!

So the long flights, lack of sleep, and sore neck were well worth it.

Better Late Than Never

Celebrate 3 years of Glorious Marriage With Us!

Yes, Its been 3 years.

Before we got married many tired to give us advice and warn us about how difficult our first year(s) of marriage would be. Little did they know "Us". We have loved being married from day 1. Our first, second, and now third year have been amazing.

I can honestly say that I am more in love with my husband now than when we first got married.

Advice that we got that I wish I could tell every couple.....

There are 3 simple rules for a happy and successful marriage -

1. Always put the other person first

2. Whoever cares more (or is more emotionally attached) to an issue of argument let them win

3. Whoever is more financially savvy let them take the lead on the finances

My Top 5 Favorite Things About Christmas...

# 5. Going to the mall not to shop but just to people watch. It's quite entertaining to see grown adults acting like children; grabbing for gifts, pushing in line, and throwing tantrums when they can't find what they are looking for. The Holiday Season, people at their finest.

I think far to many people have forgotten what this season is really about, Christ.

# 4. Obnoxious out of control yard decorations, this Reindeer is literally taller than all the houses, love it!

# 3. Ugly Christmas sweater parties

# 2. Glitter. I don't know why but for me Christmas and Glitter just go together. Ever single Christmas decoration I own has glitter on it.

# 1. Yes, of coarse my most favorite thing about Christmas is spending time with my hubby :)

If You Can't Find an Ugly Sweater, Make Your Own

1. Find an old sweater or buy one. The cheapest places are a thrift store or Walmart.

2. Buy random crafts at Michael's, currently they have 70% off Christmas decor

3. Buy a glue gun and start gluing

There you have it, homemade Ugly Sweaters

Have you ever picked up a hitchhiker?

As I was driving home the other night I saw this little guy hanging on for dear life.

His little legs and backside were flapping in the wind, I was positive that he wouldn't make it all the way.

But sure enough by the time I pulled in the driveway, 22 miles and 30 minutes later, he was still hanging on.

For some reason I had this sad feeling that somehow I just made him homeless?

I'm a bee, I'm a bee, I'm a bee, bee, bee

Have You Ever...

Have you ever been trying to open the trunk of your car, then realized that's not your car?

Have you ever tripped over an imaginary line in front of all of your co-workers, then tried to walk it off like nothing happened?

Have you ever let your boss walk around all day with food stuck in his teeth because you were to embarrassed to tell him?

Temple - Bowling - Birthday

For anyone who has never been to Salt Lake City UT, I would highly recommend visiting to Mormon Temple.

It is especially beautiful during the Christmas season, full of lights, people, performances, and best of all it's all FREE.

*Cheap date idea - get hot chocolate and wander around the lights

Competition anyone?

Mike and I married into the right families, they are both super competitive.

*Said to say I finished dead last in bowling

Don't you just love Tom?

He is the BEST father-in-law, super funny, entertaining, and a blast to be around.

Daxton, my 10 yr old nephew, I love this kid!

Little story - Daxton was sitting on my lap watching a movie one night and I said, "wow Dax I can't believe you're already 10 years old, time has flown by". He looks up at me with those big brown eyes and replies, "Auntie Knee - Cole you have missed two years of my life".

Talk about a tearful moment, I thought I was going to start bawling that second.

It's so true though, since Mike and I have been married we have been out of Utah. This little experience made us both want to back up and move back home.
