Chick Flick Movie Tag

I was tagged by one of my sisters and figured that since it was close to Valentine's Day that I would play along. First of all everyone needs to know that I am a very indecisive person. I can never make up my mind so for me to pick (or narrow down) some of my favorite chick flicks is extremely hard for me. I love movies first of all and usually unless they are completely horrible I usually like them all...so here it goes.

(These movies are not in any particular order...)

Ever After

This movie plays on TV a lot and every time I run across it I try to watch some of it because it is such a cute show!

Sweet Home Alabama

I LOVE this show even though I don't watch it a ton and I love how it ends.

Must Love Dogs

I hadn't watched this movie until one of my sisters gave it to me for a B-Day present one year and I ended up really like this movie.

Wedding Date

Okay the more this movie is played on T.V the more and more I like it....plus it has Austin Healey cars in it which are cool looking because I will have that same car one day. :)

I tag everyone that reads this post except for my sisters because they have already been tagged.

Husband Tag

Where did you meet your husband? We were set up on a blind date by my co-worker (now brother-in-law). Our first date was dinner then we went bowling. We actually didn't talk to each other a ton on the date... he talked to his sister and I talked to my co-worker/bro-in-law. After bowling then played some games at his house and then ended up talking for a few hours.

How long did you date before you were married? About 2 years

How long have you been married? It will 2 years in July

What does he do that surprises you? From time to time he will come home with little gifts or surprises such as flowers or a video I have been wanting...just because. He also does more laundry than I do (which is GREAT!).

Whats your favorite feature of his? I have to pick just one?! I love his smile and also he eyes. I also love his arms...which are strong from his manual labor job. :)

What is his best quality? His best quality for me is that he is soooo incredibly patient. He keeps me relaxed and calm when I tend to get worked up easily.

Does he have a nickname for you? Honey, Babe, Stac

What is his favorite food? Italian food

What is his favorite sport? Snowboarding, Wake boarding, Soccer.... is car restoration considered at sport? If so then that one for sure! :)

Whats your favorite thing to do as a couple? We like to do anything together. We like to go boating/wake boarding together but we really like to just relax watch movies or play video games together.

Do you have any children? Nope, but we will one day.

Does he have any hidden talents? Yes! He is great with his hands. He can build anything or make just about anything work. He also is amazing at body and paint work with cars and car restoration.

This is a picture of his Dad's mustang that he restored for him.

How old is he? 30

Who said "I love you" first? To tell you the truth I can't remember...probably he did because I am usually nervous to take big steps like that first.

What is his favorite music? Anything really (except country). He really likes alternative, some rap/hip hop, hair bands, older stuff, Johnny Cash... etc

What do you admire most about him? That he is always willing to help others out even if it is not convenient or fun for him at all.

What is his favorite color? I think it is blue...but if that is wrong then my next guess would be brown or green.

Will he read this? Yes

Who do you tag? All of the wife's on my blog list! Except Shawna, she tagged me!

Ry, you are the best husband and friend I could ever wish for. I am so lucky to have you in my life. I love you!!!!!

OUCH!!!

Okay, I am not someone that talks about themselves very much but thought I would put an update of what happened the other day to me.

I had the day off work on Monday with nothing to do...I was bored...so I decided to go to the gym. Keep in mind that I really haven't worked out in forever! So last week I met a friend at the gym and I just walked for like 30-45 min and felt great and wasn't sore one bit. So on Monday I figured I would try running for a bit...I walked for like 5 min then started a hill routine and I was running at like a 5.0 up and down some hills.

I have new ear buds and they were bugging me so I stepped on the side rails for a second to adjust them and after a few seconds I started to get really fuzzy like I had stood up too fast. So, I gripped the handles harder and thought to myself don't pass out just breath and the next thing I know I am SOOOOO sleepy and I am behind my treadmill standing up. A girl from another machine was standing beside me asking me if I was okay and if my head was okay. I was a little out of it but felt really embarrassed so I didn't ask her what happened. I basically had passed out and somehow flew off the treadmill and smacked the back of my head on this metal box thing that houses plugs, cords, etc. Since there wasn't any blood at all...I just said that I was fine and got back on my treadmill and the other girl next to me asked if I was okay. I said well I guess I'm done for the day and turned off my machine. I sat in the locker room for a min or so to make sure that I wasn't going to pass out again. Since I felt relatively fine I then decided to drive home and blasted the a/c for fear that I was gonna pass out and crash my car (even though I felt fine). On the way home my head hurt like HELL! So I took my ponytail out and moved my hair around a bit and pulled my fingers out of my hair and they were bloody...but figured that since it wasn't gushing or even anything that I had just cut it a tiny bit. I went home and sat on the couch then decided to take a bath because I was gross and sweaty. I got my hair wet and that hurt really badly so I just waited until Ryan got home from work. He got home and I had him look at my head and his reaction was NOT good at all which freaked me out... I started to cry a little bit because I didn't want to go to the doctor. So I had him take a picture and then I looked at it.... OH MY GOSH!!! It was disgusting and big. I had NO idea that I basically had a huge hole in my head.... I am thinking when I fell that it basically scalped me. So, when he moved my hair out of the way to look at my "cut" it opened it up and that's why he totally freaked out.So we then went to the insta care and the nurses came out to the waiting room to numb my head so it could be stitched up and they actually saw it for the first time... You would think they wouldn't pull faces being in the profession that they are in, but they all pulled a face except the doctor.So the doctor made sure that when I passed out that I was not running and that I was actually stopped at the time...because if I had been running then that would mean heart problems. So, one good thing...my ticker is still okay...as far as I know. Anyway, the Dr. said the best thing for this type of injury would be staples and he is trying to prep me so I don't freak out and I told him to not worry because I have had staples before but just in my side for the kidney transplant.So viola... 5 staples later my head was feeling much better. It is pretty uncomfortable to try to relax my head at all and sleeping is a big pain in the butt! Other than that oh ya and the headaches I'm doing well. I am just thankful that my “accident” wasn’t any worse than what it was.

I won’t post a picture for all of you squeamish people…if you want to see a pic let me know I’ll send it your way. :)

Body Worlds 3

So Ry was feeling better from his cold yesterday so we decided to go and see the Body Worlds 3 exhibit in SLC. All I can say is that it is fascinating and it felt surreal to me at times. The work that was done there was AMAZING.... I can't believe they can make molds or preserve the body is such a way. I have always been intrigued with the body, heart, brain etc but have not explored learning more about it. This gave me a chance to see bodies, organs, bones etc first hand and I was glad that I had the chance to do so.

Here is a link of what the exhibit was like.

Kitchen Pictures....FINALLY!!!!

Well most of you have seen the kitchen but here are some pictures anyways. :) Okay I am slightly retarded when it came to making this slide show so you just have to click on the button that says view all images. :)

Recap Of The Last Few Weeks

Okay I figured that I had not posted on my blog for a very very long time. As a recap from the last post I have is this:

• We waited as patiently as possibly for our NEW kitchen to arrive and then be installed.
• I LOVE LOVE LOVE my kitchen by the way...it exceed my expectations by far. I promise to post pictures of it...one of these days.
• We then finished installing all of the kitchen appliances the following weekend.
• After that we took a short break from house work and projects (mainly because we were burnt out).
• Then Ryan had a mile marker birthday (30 years old).
• The one surprise that I actually was able to pull off for his birthday was that I got the day off work for Ryan and then planned a day of fun for us.
• I swear I changed my plans for his birthday what felt like a million different times (without him even knowing because I was trying to keep it a surprise). I started to stress myself out a little bit because we still had some projects left to be finished for the house. So what we finally ended up doing was having a small get together for friends (the day after his birthday) and then had his entire family over for dinner on Sunday.
• Amongst all of the birthday plans and fun Ryan's brother Mike came over multiple different times to help us finish hanging our new interior doors for the house. He also helped us get our TV hung on the wall above the fireplace. I am so thankful that he was able to come up and help as much as he did. All of these plans would not of been as perfect without all of his and Ryan's hard work to get the house projects completed in time.

It was a lot of planning and hard work but definitely worth it. Ryan is such a wonderful man and so patient and willing to go along with any crazy idea or request I have...so I am glad that I could do a few things for him on his special day..uh I mean special birthday weekend. :)

Grrr...I say GRRRRR!!!!

Okay I am grrrrr..ing because I just talked to the cabinet people after I had to email them again to get someone to call me that was supposed to call me. Anyway, the conversation basically went like this.... When are you and Ryan free to come for an appointment because we don't have your kitchen design drafted up but that doesn't take long. This guy tells me he has to talk to his drafting department to see if they can get it done by monday or tuesday of next week. Keep in mind that I was originally told that we would be done in 5 weeks. You may be wondering when the 5 week deadline is done....ya you guessed it! 5 weeks is next tuesday....friggin cabinet people! He then calls back and leaves me a message saying that he can't meet until Wednesday and that we are looking like we will have the cabinets the first week in november. NOVEMBER!!!!!!! I know that it is only about 2 weeks that it has been pushed out ...but no apologies...nothing from this guy (which was nice btw) and he told me that I was the "squeaky wheel" in a joking sarcastic tone. He hasn't seen squeaky yet. I WILL be his worst nightmare if he doesn't get our friggin cabinets in now. I am so past the point of being patient and nice with everyone (as you can all tell.... I am at my breaking point). The kitchen has been completely removed, gone, none existent, zilch, zippo.... for probably almost 2 months. We eat out or get take out for every meal. Sorry for such a negative and ornery post but I needed to vent so that I won't yell at the cabinet guy. The only thing I wish they would of done is let me know that we weren't going to hit the 5 week deadline....I guess there are some communication problems between some of the groups at that company. LAME LAME LAME... I wish I had my cabinets in now... I don't want to wait any longer.
