OPPO

We have this big tv and a ton of movies. We have a clearplay dvd player that edits any movie we want it to.. as long as they have a filter for it. We can change the levels of editing, so it will take out all the yucky stuff. So we love that dvd player, but the picture quality and the sound quality just isn't that wonderful. For our regular dvd's we use our x-box to watch them so we don't wear out our clearplay dvd player and the picture is about the same, the main difference is that we can't fast forward with the x-box, we have to either skip the whole scene or just watch until we get to the part we want. The other day Jason was online looking for a new Dvd player. At first he just wanted an x-box 360 elite because it upconverts dvds to HDMI, which is almost HD quality. Then he changed his mind, and kept looking. We didn't want to get an HD-dvd player because they are so expensive, and we would have to go out and get all new movies just in order to watch them in HD, for that same reason we didn't get a Blueray player. In addition to buying the player and new movies, we don't know which player is going to win the battle, so we didn't want to invest in something that is going to become obsolete. So Jason did some research, and we both read a lot of reviews from people who had bought players with HDMI, and decided to get the OPPO. We ordered it last Saturday night and it got to us by Wednesday afternoon!! I got home from work and Jason had already set it up and was watching Transformers, it was AMAZING. The quality of the picture was just soo good I really couldn't believe it. It was almost sad because when we want to watch our movies that need to be edited with our clearplay the picture quality is drastically lowered.

October 6...

October 6. My 20th birthday. We had gone to bed the night before at one in the morning and then had to get up at 6:30 to get ready for our Saturday up in Salt Lake for general conference. We started out the day by going to Ernies for breakfast, and then we headed up to Salt Lake. As soon as we got there we headed straight for the conference center. Conference was really good. We went shopping a little bit and then out to eat. We went to Chili's and opened gifts. Jason's aunt got me a jacket to match the pants I had bought the night before. The next gift was from Jasons mom, two shirts, and then Final Cut Express HD. I was completely shocked, in the good way. I used it in high school in my video editing class and I loved it, I would go into the class during lunch to work on my movies, that's how much I loved it. I was so excited to get it. Then Jason gave me the gift from him, it was in a gift bag like the rest of the gifts. I opened it up and inside was a movie (mini-series) called "The Tenth Kingdom" and then Jason asked me to read the back of it to everyone and as I turned it over I realized there was something in the back of the movie in between the plastic and the movie. Two Celine Dion tickets for December 8th. A week before her last showing ever. I was in such shock!!! I was so excited! Jason and I had been looking for tickets for a few months. They were sold out on the Celine Dion website and on ebay the tickets were up to 700 dollars for two tickets. I told Jason I didn't need to go that bad and we could save the money for something else. I guess he got the tickets for cheaper than that but I was still shocked. I called my mom and told her and she told me not to tell Janna, because she would be so mad that i got to go and she didn't she would probably kill me. Haha. Well, we left Salt Lake at around 9 and went to my mom's house (she had called and told us to come over for cake) We went over again on Sunday and had a little family get together and my family gave me some really cute shirts and really cute jewelry, and some food storage. It was amazing.
Overall it was a pretty good birthday.

Shirts and Makeup

A few weeks ago we had a family get-together at the Oswald's house and I started to tell the girls about this website that I got some cute shirts for only 10 dollars each. I found them on a website and wasn't sure if it would be safe to buy them, but I took a chance and it worked. It was great and I decided to tell everyone about it. It's called Junior Trends ( Juniortrends.com ) Most of the shirts are trashy but there are some that are really cute, and really well priced. After I told them about that website Laney told us about a different website that sells makeup for only $1.00 it's amazing! I went on the website to check it out. It seemed too good to be true... We'll see though, I ordered a few things about a week ago and hopefully they will get here soon and I can tell you about it and let you know if any of it is good... Hopefully it's good stuff. Although the makeup is cheap the shipping costs are fairly expensive... compared to the price of the makeup.
