my valentine

there was a girl named kristy. she had dreamed her whole life of finding a prince who could make all of her dreams come true.  along came a prince named ben who knew of her wishes and did his best to make them come true. being the most thoughtful prince in the kingdom, and apparent author and illustrator, wrote kristy her own fairy tale. kristy loves listening to music on her long drive to work each day. ben must have been tired of her endless complaints of her dead ipod...

kristy was ecstatic! how could the day get any better? it was already amazing when ben swept kristy off of her feet to a movie she had been so desperately waiting to see...

wow kristy thought. this prince of mine is pretty amazing. i wonder what else is in store for this special day? and hmm, i'm getting hungry...

so off to the melting pot they went where they dined on the most wonderful fondue! kristy was so happy. is it possible that she has finally found her prince? 

burned

anyone know a good lawyer who can sue the pants off of my laser hair removal people? this is the THIRD time i've been burned. i know this is a gross picture. just look carefully if you are thinking about laser hair removal. if you are thinking about doing it, call me and i'll tell you where NOT to go... it's my biggest regret up to this point in my life...

sucking cookies

ben's mom wendy introduced me to the yummiest treat ever! here's what you need; hot chocolate and some type of mint cookies (preferably york peppermint patty cookies). here's what you do; nibble off a tiny bit of one end, then do the same thing to the other end, directly across from the first bite. this makes a "straw".  now, suck the hot chocolate through the cookie (hence sucking cookies). suck about 10 times. after sucking, put the entire cookie on your tongue. the cookie will melt away right in your little mouth. it's to dine for!!!

think pink

thanks to those of you who came to support our think pink party. part of the proceeds went to breast cancer research. thanks thanks thanks!

facebook

this is why i no longer have facebook...

amazing

ben and i went to the draper temple open house. it was amazing. it is set up on the hill and overlooks the valley. the decor is beautiful. there are amazing paintings, murals, chandeliers, furniture, etc. if you get a chance to go i would highly recommend it.

done

ben did jess and my taxes last night. i'm so glad they are done. jess owed 7 dollars but is getting  a 2 dollar return. she is having it mailed instead of direct deposit so the government has to pay for the check and postage. she was so mad. she kept making ben look over everything to make sure he didn't make a mistake. we had a good time...

just be open house
