Crash

It was so good to me. Many hours of stressful pounding. Many hours of fun and games. A few movies here and there. Many hours of entertainment. And now many hours of nothing. My poor little IBM ThinkPad is no more. 5 years later, I think it was ready to throw in the towel. It crashed on me once before, the week of finals my Junior year at BYU, that time around, I lost my pictures from Europe, and a 12 page paper I had due in 2 days. 'Why didn't you back it up? Why didn't you save it on an external hard drive?'. The truth is I never thought it would happen to me. I never thought I'd lose it all. And I did...again. So, thanks to my blog and facebook most of my pictures are saved somewhere else. And there wasn't much else of importance to me anymore that was saved on there. Boo. It still is so frustrating and so annoying! Hmm... oh well.

Delightful Dinner Dance

We had the perfect Valentine weekend, it was a lot more than just a day! Friday - we went to dinner at Zupas and saw the new movie 'Valentine's Day', which we laughed and loved (but if you didn't like it, then forget I said that :). Saturday - I made delicious heart-shaped sugar cookies with bright pink frosting, they were fluffy, and I didn't burn one batch, they were probably the best batch of sugar cookies I've ever made! Ry brought me home the most beautiful flowers, I love them so much, especially since he picked the arrangement out himself, who needs a florist? He also washed and vacuumed my car, and took me shopping in the afternoon. He's the best hubby ever, I love him to pieces.

Then that night, we got all dolled up and went with our friends Ryan and Lindsay Durrant to the Thanksgiving Point Valentine's Dinner Dance. We bought our tickets a month ago, so it was so nice to not have to worry about crowds, or reservations, or anything! They had a delectable 3 course meal, pictures, candy, and a live Jazz band! We definitely got our grove on and danced the night away. It was such a fun date. We were probably the youngest people there, but were the most entertaining on the dance floor, ha!

I wanted to make a yummy Valentines breakfast for Ry, so I made his favorite pudding rolls. Once again, I seriously think this is the best batch I have ever made! As we were about to eat, Ry asked me, "you're proud of those aren't you?", you bet I was!!

It was the best Valentines weekend ever, I love being with my best friend all the time, he is so handsome, works so hard, is so smart, has such a powerful testimony, and I can't wait to spend eternity with him!!

4 years ago today was our first kiss? Cute eh?

The Drama

I've never watched The Bachelor. I haven't been a sucker for the drama, the love and the undeniably staged passion. I have never anxiously waited for Monday night to see how relationships were going to grow, and the least loved chick was going to go. But I have to admit, this season has sucked me right in. I crave the drama, I analyze the stupid small little details, and I look forward to what each episode will bring. My new neighbor and buddy, Lindsay, is a Bachelor fanatic and has been since it has been on the air. She is actually the real reason why I started watching this dumb show, but I don't blame her one bit, it wouldn' t be nearly as much fun watching it without anyone else there to criticize and laugh at how foolish people can be. That's why they have the show isn't it? To make you realize, man I love being married...I love not having my husband date 6 other girls the same time as me...I love not having to win someone over in 5 weeks or else I'm out of the lime light and out of a chance at love. Anyway,the second biggest reason I watch the show is because our husbands, both named Ryan, get together and get to spend good quality man time, we like to call it their "man-date". It's healthy to have a little guy time, with no crazy-silly girls around. We look forward to our Monday nights.
