Memorial Day

Instead of going hiking as planned, we went bowling with the family. It had rained so we didn't want to get our shoes all muddy. So we cruised on down to the BYU bowling center. I ended up with the highest score of 181. I got a double and a turkey. Adrian ended up with 118 which beat Luke and Chris so he was excited. We also ate at Subway and pretty much took over all of the benches. We also got to see Dr Seuss's Horton hears a Who. It was a pretty funny movie. Steve Carell and Jim Carrey are hilarious! Overall, our memorial day was excellent.

Its a Girl!

Today we surprised Mindy with a baby shower. She received a lot of adorable clothes for her new baby due on July 3rd. I knitted her some adorable hats. Hopefully they fit! There was also some chocolate donuts and cookies. I can't wait to use my new step I got for my birthday. Congrats Mindy! We are all excited for you.

Happy 29th Birthday, Emilee

Adrian and I had the day off yesterday to celebrate my 29th birthday. We had a blast! We went to McDonald's for breakfast and then went to the Aquarium. We thought that there would be more fish but apparently they are doing some construction so there will be more to see. Our friends from Austin, TX came over to spend the afternoon with us. We went to Cafe Rio for lunch and saw Narnia-Prince Caspian. It was a little more cheesy than the first Narnia. I don't recommend seeing it in the theater. Later, Adrian and I went to the Cheesecake Factory and stopped by the mall. In the evening, Laura and Rusty, Keith and Keri all came over to eat cake and play dance dance revolution. Way fun! It was a wonderful day and I'm so glad I got to spend quality time with my honey, Adi. Thanks for a wonderful birthday.

I AM NOT A JAZZ FAN! GO LAKERS!

The Implementation Department thought it would be funny to decorate my cubicle with the Utah Jazz colors to celebrate my birthday. Hilarious! Mindy, Laura, and Lourine know that I do not support the Utah Jazz basketball team. What can I say? I'm a California girl and I support the LA Lakers. I don't really like Kobe but who is perfect. He is really good at getting points from fouls.

Also, they bought me a birthday cake, the Twlight book and some peach rings. They know me so well except for the basketball thing. It was definitely a nice surprise. Thanks, you made my day!

Movies

I always love a good film. I saw Jane Austen's Book Club. This film inspired me to read some of Jane Austen's famous books. I'm reading Pride and Prejudice at the moment. My next book is Persuasion. I hope I can understand Jane Austen's writing. Another movie I enjoyed was Cape of Good Hope which was uplifting, inspiring, and a memorable film. If you haven't seen it, rent it or get it from the library. Another movie is The Prize Winner of Defiance, Ohio starring Julianne Moore and Woody Harrleson. It is an inspirational film based on a true story. I didn't like the husband but Julianne Moore was excellent. She had a positive attitude even when her husband was a jerk.

What movies do you recommend? I am in need of some really good movies to watch while I knit my christmas stockings.

2-2 Dentist Appointment

I went to my second dentist appointment yesterday. I can officially say that I have no cavities. This time wasn't as bad as the first appointment but I did wait an hour before the dentist saw me. I was able to watch a few shows including Oprah, How to loose a guy in ten days, take home chef, and mindless commercials. I was very relaxed till he gave me two shots. Yuck! I was numb till about eight and Adrian didn't even make fun of me. Also, he made me some scrambled eggs for dinner. I wanted Jamba Juice but he didn't know how to get there. Can you tell that I am the main driver in the relationship? Oh well, he will definitely be the main driver in England so I shouldn't complain. I am glad to say that my dentist appointments are done for now. Hopefully I won't get anymore cavities in the near future.

Survivor Micronesia-Fans vs Favorites

I watched the season finale of Survivor Micronesia-Fans vs Favorites last night. I was a little disappointed because I wanted Amanda to win but Parvati won the jury votes. It sure was a good season. There were a lot of blindsides and the women were brutal. I loved it! I love all of the challenges. I have been a fan of survivor for many seasons and wish I could have the chance to be on it. However, it would be one difficult adventure. I think I'll just watch the show as long as Adrian doesn't mind. He has not been a fan of survivor because he thinks I love the show more than him. Funny Adrian! He does watch a little with me and really gets into it but then he remembers that he hates the show and leaves. It is pretty funny. Anyway, the next survivor show takes place in Gabon Africa so it will be fun to see what Jeff Probst has in store. I can't wait!
