Twilight!! Need I say more!


The awaited Twilight Showing!!  We waited for the crowds to die down, we went on Tuesday.

Well I heard lots of stories and feed back on Twilight and was just going to go in with no expectations.  We got a bunch a girls together and sadly Mom was ill or else we would have added her to our craziness.  
We were the first in line,  we heard it was going to be so crazy so we needed to be there early.  Not so crazy but it paid off to be there we got the best seats in the house.  
The happy faces after the show.  It was great, I thought it was very well thought and played out.  I loved it, I love who plays Edward, Bella and all the rest, they cast them all so perfectly.  I hoping to see it again soon, everyone says the second time is the best.  

The Ellen Show



So I confessing my day time TV habits but....if I am home, I usually watch the Ellen show.  I think she is hilarious and it gets me rolling on my homework or its my wind down after work.  Well I was watching the show that she announced in 3 weeks she would be in Vegas.  I immediately got online and applied for tickets for me, my sis, sis in law and mom.  Well they of course call the night I am pulling an all nighter at clinicals and Curt couldn't find the phone. They left a message but by the time I got back with them (the next day) they were only offering me standby tickets.  I was so mad!!  

One of my neighbors and good friends is a nurse on Labor and Delivery and I happened to be following her one night and she mentioned she had gotten tickets.  Their cousins were supposed to come down but they weren't going to be able to make it so she had an extra ticket.  So I get to go afterall!!!



Luke, Jessica and Me at Caesar's Palace, that's where the taping was


Of course, me and Jessica at the Cheesecake Factory, any chance I get!!

The show was amazing.  It was so fun, lots of dancing and some good laughter.  Pink performed and she was the highlight of the show.  She did so good and she sang my favorite song for the week, the "I am going to start a fight" one ( I can't remember the name).  All in all great fun and I got it out of my system so I don't need to go again for a while anyway.

New Hair



Before:


I got hair extensions.  I have not had long hair since 3rd grade and decided to give it a try.  My hair was at the annoying shoulder stage, which I was either ready to cut or had to do something.  So my good friend was up for the challenge and she solved my problems.

After:

My hair before she cut it and blended it.
The finished product:

The finished product, with my good friend and hair dresser, Katie.
I love it, it is such a great change and it only hurt my head the first night.  That is such a girl thing to say, what we do for beauty.

Movie Night!!













Madagascar 2 Escape to Africa

What a fun movie.  Curt and I like to spoil our nephews with some fun things like movies and treats.  We had not done it in a while with school and all.  Madagascar is Briggs' favorite movie and so I asked him if he would be available to go to the movies with us on Wednesday.  He responded with  "I have school"  I told him it would be after school and he said "Then of course!"  He asked Beckham if he wanted to go and Beckham said "No"  Briggs responded with Uncle Curt is going and he will "Sugar us up" so you should come, Beck responded with a big "YES".  We love those boys and have a great time with them. 
















We picked them and up and the were more than ready!!  1st stop the dollar store!!
Many treats were selected and we were off the movies.  It was a great show and the boys loved it.  It was great for Curt and I.  It was Beckham's first movie and he loved it.  Can't wait for our next movie night boys!!  Love ya.

Vote, Vote, Vote


The "BIG" day to vote. It is our personal responsibility to make a difference in our country, show some pride for those who fought for our freedoms and go VOTE!! If you don't vote you will never know if your vote made a difference. As my husband says, "If you don't vote you can't complain about what is currently happening in our country." Good luck, my fellow voters.

Sunday Drive



The Road Trip began......

Who wouldn't love this scenery!
Thrilled to be driving a convertible!

The WIND blowing through my hair!
      The great destination - Zion!!


Anybody that knows me, knew that I grew up with my dad owning convertibles throughout my growing years.  I LOVE convertibles, I am partial to Mustangs but I really enjoy all kinds.  Our friends have a 2003 Thunderbird and they left town and let us borrow the car.  Well I was thrilled.  Curt and I hoped in the car after church and enjoyed the 84 degree weather with the top down, the wind blowing through our hair and the sounds of sunday blarring on the radio :)  It was the highlight of my dad, it reminded me of old times with my Dad listening to anything we could jam to with the top down and racing off the line, of course the other person did not know we were racing.  It was a great drive down memory lane today.  

Running





RUNNING SHOES, NEED I SAY MORE!!

I went to the local running store and purchased my first pair of "real" running shoes. The Saucony Ride!! My outlet lately has been running. I find myself just focusing on my latest and greatest tunes that I got off Itunes and forgetting about all the caous going on around me. I leave my house and it is me and the road!! I come home feeling refreshed and ready to conquer the world. With school, work and busy regular life it has been a nice stress reliever. I, definitely, recommend this awesome stress reliever and it does not cost very much; find a pair of shoes, some good tunes and a road :)
