Day of Amor!

Happy late Valentine's Day to everyone! I hope everyone spent the day with the people they love, because I certainly did. Admittedly, I am a big cheese-ball! I love romantic things...I watch Titanic and Walk to Remember all the time, and I cry at touching commercials sometimes. So basically, I am a big sap! My husband makes fun of me for it. That is why I love Valentines Day. I love that you can go all out for the people you love.

I came home to roses and chocolates. Jason then whisked me off to Thaifoon, one of my favorite restaurants. It was amazing food, and we stuffed ourselves until we were going to explode. We then went to see the movie "Just Go With It" with Jennifer Aniston and Adam Sandler. I went into the movie with very low expectations, but wow was I surprised. I laughed my head off the whole entire movie. It was hilarious! We then drove home, and Jason was nice enough to end the night watching "The Bachelor" with me. It was such a great night!

Happy Valentine's Babe. I love you so much! I am so lucky to get to spend not only Valentine's Day, but everyone day with the love of my life and my best friend!

I love me some Cheesy Valentine's Day!

Yo Shorty, it's ALMOST my birthday!

I am super behind on my posts...AS USUAL! I forgot to share with you what Jason got me for my EARLY b-day present.

Before I tell you what it is...I will tell you the story of the day he got it for me. So I am sitting at work on a Friday, and I remember thinking, "Heck yes, it's pay day". You know, the N'sync song "It's Friday night, and I just just just just....got paid..money money money!" Anyway...I went to check our bank account, which I rarely do. And what do I find? But a pending charge of a lot of money. I call my husband and say, "Babe, did you buy anything?" Jason of course was like, "No, why?" I went on to tell him about the pending transaction. He was like, "Oh no, I am going to call the bank." He then called me back and said we can't use that card because someone had gotten a hold of our info.

I freaked out the rest of the day.

We went to bed that night, and i woke up the next morning, and this is what I find...taped to the bathroom mirror:







So now I am going to Ohio in March with my wonderful hubby to visit Jamie, Trent, Lucy, the new cute little baby Ruby, Matthew, Haiquis, and cute little Camila!

Thanks Baby for the b-day present! Even if I thought someone was stealing all our money away.

Bachelor Bracket!

I had to post today because tonight is another Bachelor night...Oh yeah! I like Mondays again...because it's Bachelor Night! Happy Valentine's Day to everyone has well. I can't imagine a better night than going out to celebrate Valentine's Day with my super cute husband, and then coming home, sitting on the couch, and watching 2 hours of the Bachelor. Make fun of me all you want!

I love the Bachelor so much that me and my friend Veronica from work decided to do a Bachelor Bracket. You know, like when it is "March Madness" and you make a bracket to predict who will win. I thought it was the most original idea ever, until I googled "Bachelor Bracket" and realized that A LOT of other women thought of the same genius idea. Great minds think alike I guess. Anyway, Veronica and I made a bachelor bracket, and put it on our big window at work. I will post pictures later, because I think it is so hilarious! Everyone tries to look out our window at our view, but our Bachelor Bracket covers that right up!

I had to share my predictions of the Bachelor before another week passed me by, because we made it before last week's episode, and sorry Jackie and Alli, but I predicted you were out.

See my wonderful Bachelor Bracket Below. I will bold the women I think will move on.

MY THREE LOVES

This is Jason. Weird, yeah I know but Emily said I never look at "our" blog so I thought pff, why read (and I did read it babe, promise) when I can write. I would like to write about my three loves at this very moment. They are all connected to me in such a deep way...First, Emily. My wonderful wife whom I love so much it hurts. We laugh more than most people do and yeah it's usually about something dumb or small to other people but that's why I love it. Needless to say, us two, are easily entertained. I am a very lucky man just so everyone is aware. I love you Em. Second, Utah Football. Lets all take a moment of silence to remember those seniors we have lost from this past season......thank you. Now lets CHOW DOWN!! Booya. Norm Chow, welcome back to the great state of Utah! This time, you're with the right team good buddy. Now all we need is for Jordan Wynn to stop lookin like a creeper in the window with the mustache and boom! BSC, Hey-o! Third, the Utah Jazz...suck. BUT, only for the moment. I told everyone right before Okur came back that we were better without him...boy, was I right. Way to go Jazz, now we are almost like those Cav fans where we can't even rep our jerseys! Kriiipes. I actually have a forth love which anybody who knows me is food, but we won't open up that can. Did I "blog" ok? Probably the best one on here right? Haha jokes babe. But seriously...

Obsession with Thai Food

Dear Thai Food,

Thank you for introducing yourself to me. I can't get enough of you. Please become cheaper so I can eat you once in awhile! I could eat you every day for the rest of my life. Thank you Sawadee and Thaifoon. I love your amazing dishes, ESPECIALLY CURRY!

When I eat Thai Food, I get a certain look on my face. This is what it looks like:

Look at these amazing dishes? I can't get enough!

Massaman Curry (Any Thai Food Restaurant)

Evil Jungle Princess Chicken (Thaifoon)
Honey Walnut Chicken (Thaifoon)

Pad Thai (Any Thai Food Restaurant)

Lettuce Wraps

Are you as hungry as I am right now?

I also love how when you take your dad to celebrate his birthday at Sawadee, they come out with big bongo drums and sing to him until his face is bright red! ha.

I wonder if this food tastes as good in Thailand...if so, I am moving there!

'Tis the Season

I know, I know. I am about the worst blogger in the whole entire world. I can't blog during work (too busy), I can't blog after work (gym, then hungry), and then I get sleepy. Good thing New Years is coming up right? So we can make our New Year's resolutions, that I only keep for about a week! What will be on the list this year? I will have to think of more, but I want to be a better blogger for sure. I do have a lot of catching up to do.

First of all, I can't believe it is already December 15th. I seriously can't believe it. Where did the time go? I love Christmas, it is the most amazing Holiday in the world. I am also so excited to spend my first Christmas married to my wonderful husband Jason. The Holidays are so much fun with him. He get's just as excited as I do.

'Tis the Season:

1. To remember Christ's birth

2. To spend as much time with family and friends as you can

3. To serve others

4. To listen to Christmas music until your ears start to hurt

5. To go to the Michael McClean concert, and leave before you have to hold hands with random strangers and sing "we can be together forever someday"

6. To go the Cori Connors concert (and listen to her music every day)

7. To decorate your Christmas Tree

8. To buy gifts for your loved ones (OR...just take them with you, have them pick out the present, and wrap it up). There is no going wrong with that approach.

9. To avoid Black Friday

10. For work parties ( and wonderful Christmas bonuses)

11. For mistletoe

12. To watch "The Holiday" "Love Actually" "The Grinch" "Miracle on 34th Street" "Rudolph" "Frosty the Snowman" and "The Christmas Toy" "Disney Christmas" (the one with Donald Duck and the snowballs) "Christmas Vacation"

13. To give thanks

14. To sit by the fire, watch the snow fall, and sip hot cocoa

15. To play hilarious games with the family like "Game of things"

16. To see how many times we can play "Settlers" and "The Train Game"

17. To see beautiful Christmas lights and decorations

18. To eat Momma Meek's sugar cookies, carmels, amazing mix, butter cookies, fudge, the list goes on and on.

19. To believe in Santa Clause

20. To see the lights at temple square and go to "The Spaghetti Factory"

21. To slip on ice and hurt your bum

22. To sled

23. To wear cute hats, scarves, and boots

24. To avoid driving and snowbanks (I AM TALKING TO YOU MS. JENNY MEEK)

25. For Grandma Love's amazing Christmas Party

26. To watch the O.C. episode where Seth makes up his own Holiday of "Christmakkah" :)

27. To listen and sing to Adam Sandler's Hanakah song.

28. For comfy and cute pajamas.

29. To read old Christmas stories you used to read as a kid.

30. To set up the village.

31. To set cookies out for Santa.

32. For love, laughter, and joy.

These are just a few reasons why I love Christmas. It is a whole month or two that makes me feel happy, joyful, and thankful most of the time. 'Tis the season to be jolly!
