Missing cousin Davey...

I was just looking through the photo's on my computer and I noticed this one.
It's of cousin Davey, me, and Tan. We were all pretending to be pregnant. I don't remember exactly why, but it was extremely fun. It was just one of those things that happened when Davey was around. Now he is in Jordan and our Sunday's are a little less wild. Although with my family things are very rarely dull.

This summer Jason and I are both going to school full time. Not only is Jason going to BYU full time during the spring and summer semesters, he is also taking the kaplan course so he can take the MCAT at the end of the summer. We are also wanting to go to disneyland after summer semester gets out for the both of us. I haven't been there in years. It's going to be our second BIG trip since we've been married. Our first trip was our honeymoon. We were supposed to fly from SLC to Ft. Lauderdale Florida, but we were literally 5 minutes late checking in and we had to sit there trying to convince the woman that we needed to get there because we had non refundable tickets for a cruise and the reason we were late to check in was because we had to wait in that line. The woman finally found us a flight from SLC to Memphis and from Memphis to Atlanta and then finally from Atlanta to Ft. Lauderdale. We even ended up sleeping on the floor in the Memphis airport (along with a bunch of other people) I slept on an air mattress for a few hours and jason stayed awake watching me and our stuff (he ended up getting some food too) haha. When we finally got to Florida both of our suitcases had been lost and we were told they would be brought to the ship before the end of the day. The end of the day rolled around and Jason's suitcase showed up but not mine. I was so disappointed. I called the phone number they gave me in case the luggage didn't show up, and they told me it should arrive at our next port of call which was key west florida, the NEXT DAY!!! I had all of my clothes in my suitcase and nothing to wear the next day. We ended up buying some clothes on the ship because I had been wearing the same clothes and garments for two days already. (Disgusting, I know) Finally my suitcase came and just in time. The rest of the trip was great. Food all the time, entertainment (song and dance) every night, going to a different place every day, cruises are great.
Well, I thought I had a picture on my computer of the cruise, but I guess I don't. As soon as I find the pictures I will post them.

SLC

Thursday night Jason and I got to go up to Salt Lake and enjoy the beauty of the gateway mall and the Energy solutions arena. Yes, we got to go to the NBA playoffs! It was amazingly fun.
First we went to the Clark Planetarium last night and saw the IMAX movie "The Human Body." It was so neat. Anyways... It showed these mothers in England at a swimming pool with their babies (all about 6 months old) and the movie showed the mothers letting go of their babies in the pool. Ahh. The babies would open their eyes and move their arms and legs like they are swimming! Apparently babies brain tells the throat not to let the water down so they don't drown. (Crazy brits dropping their babies in water) Haha. But the babies couldn't do it for a long time so the moms had to grab them.
After the movie we went to the Playoffs. We parked at the gateway mall and just walked over to the game. While we were walking there were protesters on the sidewalks yelling about how it is not fair for our courts to take away the FLDS children. It was very bizarre. I really don't see how basketball really has anything to do with it.
The game was so much fun! Jason is a big Houston Rockets fan and he was so happy that they won.

Star wars and a new blog.

Life is crazy. Jason and I have both had finals, Jason's much more difficult than mine of course. In between studying and actually taking our finals we have been watching the star wars movies. We started with the originals. Jason bought all of the star wars movies on Dvd and they are the "special edition" ones. They have added scenes and what-not. I had never seen the special edition ones before and they have added scenes in them. Pointless stupid scenes. It was upsetting that they added the clips of nothing.
After the original three we have gone on to watch the new three. I don't think they are nearly as good as the original, but they are still good. The main thing that bugs me is the acting of Hayden Christenson. I just don't think he did a great job in these movies.
Anyways...

Tanner got a new blog. I think he forgot his password to his other one and made a new one. He has some really cool pictures on it. The link to his new page is on this page to your right.

Daylight savings time

Spring Break. Supposed to be a time of fun and of relaxation. The fact that Jason still has school is a total bummer. I also have to work. One of the best things about this spring break is the fact I get to try to become accustomed to daylight savings time. Daylight savings time usually just goes by and I barely notice the time has even changed. maybe it's because I'm married now, maybe it's because I get off work at 6 and before the change it was dark when I would get off work, and now it is light. I guess it doesn't really matter, because I'm still going to have to get used to it.

Juno

Last Saturday night we went and saw Juno. AMAZING! That movie was so hilarious. The movie was great. There were so many good quotes in the movie. It was so well written, the lines in the movie are so witty. In one of the scenes Juno is at the adoptive parents and Jennifer Garners character says, "your parents are probably wondering where you are" "Na, I mean I'm already pregnant, so what other shannanegans can I get into." The lines are great and the actors delivering them are also amazing. I don't condone pre-marital sex or pregnancy, but I feel that if it happens giving the baby up for adoption is a great way to go instead of abortion, and this movie was a great way of expressing that. The beginning was great, the middle was great, and the ending was fantastic.

Dinner... shopping...

Tonight we went to the Spaghetti factory for dinner. Jason doesn't really like the spaghetti factory, but being the fantastic husband that he is, didn't complain when I said that's where I wanted to go. My favorite thing about spaghetti factory is the bread!!! I especially love it. After dinner Jason said to me, "I want to go buy some" I wasn't really sure what he meant like that and then he said he wanted to buy me something too. I was a little confused and then he explained that since we have just been paying bills the past few days. So we went around the mall looking for something to buy. We went to a few shoe stores and I went into Journeys kids (just for fun) I found the cutest little baby shoes. We decided that when we have babies they are going to wear little adida's baby shoes. Jason really only wears adidas or BYU clothing. Even his socks are adidas. I figured when we have kids I'm going to at least dress them in adidas until they can tell me they want to wear something else. Until then I am going to put them in adidas (at least if we have a boy) I'll have to look around for pink, or girly colored adidas if we have a girl. They had so many different little shoes! I am definitely going to get them. I am such a big fan of baby shoes and baby clothes. Although when it comes to animals and clothes for them, YUCK! Animals should not wear clothes, they have fur covering their bodies therefore they don't need clothes. You are just wasting your time and money putting clothes on an animal. Plus animals dressed up look ridiculous whereas babies dressed up are so cute, they are miniature people. Anyways... We ended up at bath and body works and looked at some aromatherapy lotion but didn't end up buying anything. We did go to the grocery store and buy milk... I guess that doesn't really count as buying something for ourselves though... at least not in that sense...

green dots.

It has been a while since I have posted anything here. It's kind of weird, and here is why. Last semester I asked Jason if I could borrow his laptop at least once a week over the length of that semester. He would usually let me borrow it, unless he needed it to study. I have a desktop that he could have used but our apartment only has wireless internet so we couldn't use that for internet. I would also ask him to use it for homework, and being the amazing husband that he is, he let me. He also came up with a plan for us. I was to set aside a certain amount of money each month and save up for one so we could have enough money saved up for us to get me a laptop by my birthday. A few months earlier Jason told me we could get me a laptop if I could get a pell grant to pay for school so we didn't have to pay for it. Fall semester I wasn't eligible for one, so we weren't sure if I would get one for spring semester. So I had two choices. I tried to get the pell grant for the spring semester. I went in and talked with them quite a few times and tried to figure out what I needed to do which consisted a whole bunch of paperwork. A few weeks of fighting the system and I decided it wasn't really worth it. I would save the money and just wait until October for the laptop. Jason and I talked about it and we decided I should try one more time to get things set up for the grant. I went back, spoke with them again and they told me I had qualified for the grant. So, Long story short, I have a laptop. It's a cute little white macbook. (White, so Jason and I don't get ours mixed up.) It's got a cute little white case with green polka dots.
