Grocery Shopping

NOTE: This will be a short post but it was so funny I could not resist posting it.

Wednesday night is grocery night. So we went shopping to get our goodies for the week. We left the store into the chilly weather, we hurry to our car Curt pulls the keys out of his pocket, pushes the button to unlock our doors, opens the backseat to put the groceries in. Then I realize the car is closer than I thought, and it looked more blue...? Our car is light silver. Maybe its the lighting. That car a few stales over looks like our car. Wait sonata...? We have a ford focus! Curt that isn't our car! One of two things happened. 1) someone left their car unlocked NOT SAFE! or 2) our key magically unlocked their car.

Whatever it was, it was definitely the most fun we've ever had shopping for groceries :)

21 woot woot

That's right I am 21!!! On August 16, 2011 I turned 21 :) Only down side is I had to work :( So we celebrated on Monday instead we went out to Olive Garden yum my favorite :) I was sad because my parents didn't call they only texted me a happy birthday wish :( Curt's mom came up on Friday night to take us to dinner and stay the night with us. I was scheduled to work on Saturday so a co worker offered to take my shift so I could spend the day with Curt. So I asked him about it and he said I should just go to work. I was so hurt :( I thought he'd be happy to spend time with me. So I went to bed hurt and upset that night. Curt kept telling me we'd have fun tomorrow after I got off. He'd make it up to me tomorrow. I thought ya right.



So I woke up in the morning still in a bad mood, silently got ready for work, Curt then offered to drive me to work. I was still put out so I just said whatever. He dropped me off and said he'd pick me up at 4. I just waved him off. So 4 rolls around and Curt keeps texting asking if I am ready, when I'll be outside, am I coming. I took my own sweet time just to bug him. I got out to the car and he said he needed to drop something off at his sister Connie's house I just said whatever. So we get there, I smell like pizza I don't want to get out of the car, he walks over to my door opens it to let me out. I just sat there. Then realizing he wasn't about to leave me in the car I pulled myself out of the car clearly making my point I was unhappy about all of this. We walk in the front door and something looked different and there was something hanging on the ceiling I just brushed it off. We walk in Connie says hey whats up then we get in to the front family room and there is all of Curt's family AND my family they burst out SURPRISE!!! Then proceed to sing the happy birthday song. I just looked at Curt and glared. He said see I told you I'd make it up to you. I love you. I was so embarrassed because my hair was a gross mess from work, I smelt like pizza, and I looked homeless. But my thoughtful hubby just is on top of everything and even brought me my new birthday shirt and clean clothes, my body spray, and a brush to fix my hair.

We first ate pulled pork burritos yum :) Then we played games like the balloon stomp


The egg cracking game (a Newman favorite)

Then it was time for presents and cake, my cake was made by my mother-in-law it was delish. It was yellow cake with a fudge middle with pirouettes on the whole outside and crumbled candy bars on top yummy :) I got socks from my Karla, A gift card to Claire's from Joey and Leslie, lime juicer from my mother-in-law, and socks, breakfast and a puzzle from Connie. My mommy got me my first very own Halloween candy dish :D its a Dracula and it is so cute can't wait to use it :) and some very large very cute chunky silver hoops :) I was a good surprise even though I hate surprises :P
My husband made my day special that's for sure.

I also, even though I wasn't in Orem to go visit her, thought a lot about my Auntie whom I share a birthday with. She hasn't been here for our birthday for 6 years now but I believe she is celebrating with me whether others can see her or not. She used to tell me that I could take her birthday age so I would age two years and she would stay the same age :) I loved that idea my mother not so much but it never seemed to really work I still only get one year older every birthday which one day I will be happy about. I love you Aunt Lizzi

My lovely cousin is married!!!

Yes I do realize that I am terribly behind in my blogging but I am working on it.

This post is about my closest cousin. Keri Miguela Johnston now Romine. She was sealed to the love of her life on July 30, 2011 in the Salt Lake Temple. I am so happy for her and this new chapter in her life :) We have been so close for our whole lives basically. We are both married off women now. It was a beautiful sealing and they are so happy. We had an open house at my parents house after the sealing and then the big party reception the following week in Ramah, New Mexico. It was so much fun, there was lots of great Filipino food, dancing, and they showed their cute video. Then there was the cake, garter, and bouquet. Then the mommy/son and daddy/daughter dance, then dancing for everyone :D I do believe I danced more with my daddy than my husband (he stomped on my feet). It was such a great time and I wish these two every happiness and everything they have ever wanted. I LOVE YOU TWO, HAPPY ETERNITY!!!

Happy 4th!!!



I am not doing very well on the updating the blog thing. On the Fourth this year we went to the Hyrum for their parade.


Then had a dutch oven dinner at his sister Connie's house. Where Brad and Curtis played basketball and I played hopscotch with the girls.
After Curtis and I drove down to Brigham City for their HUGE fireworks :) It was a blast ;)

I love to see the Temple!

Yesterday Curtis and I had the opportunity to go and do sealings at the Logan Temple before it closes for a month. We had a wonderful time, going to the temple is always a great experience we are so lucky to live so closely to the House of the Lord.

We always enjoy our experiences there together, the spirit is always so strong and I love the peace that is brings. I love feeling so close to our Heavenly Father and others that have passed on.

I am so happy knowing that our family is eternal and that we will always have each other. I love this gospel and the happiness it brings. I love the Temple.

Just because I love him!!!

I guess this post could be in honor of Father's Day, my first father's day with my husband, the future father of our future children, or just because I have all this love in my heart today.

This post is all about my amazing man that chose me to be his eternal companion. I had a bad dream about him last night so I need to put down all my feelings for my wonderful, amazing, loving eternal companion.

I have the most wondeful man in all the world. He works so hard to make sure that we are in a good place financally, and that we have everything we need. He loves me despite my womanly hormones and all my dumb emotions that women unfortunately seem to have. He is the greatest thing that has ever happened to me. The love I feel for him is like nothing I have ever felt before in my life. He honors his priesthood and utlilizes it frequently, he is so spiritually strong.

He is always there for me, he comforts me, talks me down when I get my feathers ruffled, he talks to me about anything and everything, we decide everything together, he is content just holding my hand, he kisses me goodbye every morning even though I am still asleep, he watches movies with me even though he falls asleep, he motivates me, he helps me around the house, the vacuums the millions of spiders that think our home is theirs, he is patient with me.

I could go on and on. So short and simple!!! I LOVE MY HUSBAND SO MUCH HE IS THE GREATEST MAN IN THE WORLD!!! Women you can agrue and say yours is the best but you are mistaken, mine is in fact the greatest in the world.

Sprinter Clean Up

There are a few days when the weather is some what warm and nice enough to do some clean up work.

Curt and I are trying to make the yard look good we started with ripping out some ugly bushes in the front yard. We hooked a chain around the bushes then to the truck and we yanked it out. It took a while but we eventually got them out and the yard is on its way to looking fantastic :)

Now if only the weather would let us do some more work.
