Official

So it's official now Robert and I got married on Saturday. I can't even put into words how happy I am to have him in my life! It turned out to be the perfect day with the man of my dreams! Thank you to everyone involved it was so nice of you to share this special time with us. (For pictures from the day click on Courtney's blog on the side...she's my amazing photographer and even more amazing sister in law!)

Little Black Rain Cloud

I'm having a rough day. It could be from a complete lack of sleep the past two nights, the hard decision I have to make, and the stress of all the happenings in my family this summer but I am seriously a dark cloud. When I mentioned that today it started my brain to singing the "Little Black Rain Cloud" song from Winnie the Pooh. It made me feel a little better.

"I'm just a little black rain cloud
hovering under the honey tree
I'm only a little black rain cloud
pay no attention to little me
everyone knows that a rain cloud
never eats honey, no not a nip
I'm just floating around over the ground
wondering where I will drip."

" Tut, Tut, it looks like rain...."
"Thanks for noticing"

Episode 6- TOO BORED!!!!!

Well lets just jump right in.

1. Nice surprise face Ashley....not!

2. Dramatic and stalker-ish hall scene no?

3. I like her shirt it looks good on her.
4. Oh there he is...oh gross why did she kiss him.
5. Of course he would show up....hello trip to Hong Kong
6. He never really says anything in my opinion...even before when he talks nothing remotely coherent comes out of his mouth.
7. PERIOD! Get it? Got it? Good.
8. Finally some closure Ashley? You knew him for like a day!
9. Wow she really must have been a bit of a dark cloud before because all the guys notice that she is new and improved.
10. She looks SO ORANGE.
11. I like Lucas
12. I like the pirate ship too.
13. There are a lot of weird competitions this season disguised as group dates.
14. I'm sick of Blake and Ryan they both bug me.
15. What is up with Ben and the country club yellow sweater.
16. JP is still favorite...kind of hope he leaves though because I would hate to see him with a bag of nuts like Ashley.
17. He took the Bentley thing well...if it were me I would have serious reservations about her.
18. Guys are pissed as well they should be....however they are probably a little to girlie about it.
19. Glad Mickey said he wasn't ok with it and left.
20. The other guys talk about how they have serious questions about her now and they stick around.
21. FYI Ashley and Guys I know you don't think about it now but you get to watch the show and get the real scoop.
22. Guys she was crazy about Bentley
23. Ashley they are not ok with the crap you pull.
24. Blake is a flip flopper.
25. That dress is not flattering on her. She's got a cute body but that dress makes her look chunky.
26. Goodbye Blake.
27. I would have loved to see the guys bail on her...now that would be a Bachelorette first and the most dramatic season ever. At least in would be exciting unlike the coma inducing crap going on this season.
28. I hope she ends up alone... seems like she can't let people go...next thing you know she will be having Brad show up...then her high school boyfriend...She needs closure....BLAH

Episode 4 & 5

Honestly I just finished watching both of these episodes and they were both total snooze fests! Plus if I hear about Bentley one more stinking time I am going to throw a shoe at the TV!

So here goes my brief blurb about these dumb episodes
4:

1. Constantine looks silly in crazy Orange shorts.
2. Crappy back up play Bachelorette peeps!
3. I like the old Thai man he's got some sound advice....it's not about winning that is why this show doesn't really work well.
4. Is Constantine just wet from the rain or is that sweat.
5. Oh it stopped raining he is just sweaty.
6. I like Constantine ok he seems like a pretty real guy and he's not making himself look like an idiot by proclaiming she's the one or anything like that.
7. I like the service project. Poor littles in Thailand. Reminds me of the time I spent in the orphanage in China.
8. Ryan is totally annoying. You aren't the boss and you don't pay these guys so shut it up!
9. Ben is sort of cute. I like his personality.
10. I still love JP and I'm liking Lucas too they are my type of men.
11. Kind of love/hate the JP rain carry!
12. Wow Ryan rude much and you have NOTHING to say...LAME-O
13. I like Ames as a person but his 8-head is killing me. You could write the 10 commandments on him.(of course this is coming from someone with a 3-head)
14. Ummm cooking school? Really? You went to Harvard right? Hmmm.... pretty sure it's called culinary school but I just went to state college.
15. Phuket is amazing. I want to go there today!!!!
16. I know I have said crap about West but I've heard from people who know him and I guess he is pretty class act.
17. Should have sent William home he is a loser!

5:
1. Chiang Mai is also way cool.
2. I like Ben.
3. She has some good guys...too bad she's so boring and annoying. These boys deserve better!
4. The temples are amazing!
5. I like Ashley's outfit.
6. Must have used up the Bachelorette budget on the trip because this date is a snooze.
7. Paining umbrella's?.... You can buy them pre-painted at the dollar store.
8. Mental kiss was strange but cute.
9. Pretty flower garden dinner.
10. Oh no here comes Ben's sob story.
11. These sob stories could make a great country song call that Wes guy from Jillian's season!
12. Ummm yeah so these guys have some nice bodies!
13. This whole date is a bad idea! (remember the roast)
14. I'm sorry but Dentist bugs me.
15. Poor Ames is a lover not a fighter, plus gets stuck with pink shorts, punched by goober Ryan, and having to go to a foreign hospital.
16. Ames looks tired and out of it, but he dressed the best and he's so nice.
17. I love Lucas he's such a man & totally nailed her on the Bentley thing.
18. Ashley's cliche' golf move....I'm going to have to have R teach me the golf swing tonight ;)
19. Wow rose goes to Dentist...hmmmm
20. I love the elephants and that is about all on this 2-1 date.
21. William is a DICK! Catty little boy!
22. She totally buys his BS!
23. Poor Ben was blindsided.
24. Ben you are better off she's nutter butter!
25. William is killing me and he has crazy hair.
26.She's so not into him.
27. Bye Will have fun in that dark rock covered hole. Oh and GROW UP!
28. Dramatic rose burn? How many takes do you think they did of that?
29. NO NO NO NO more Bentley talk PLEASE!
30. Give her closure so his confessionals.
31. PUKE PUKE PUKE...
32. Oh Bye Nick
33. I hope the guys bail on her and her crazy love for Bentley. They deserve better and she should get EXACTLY what she asked for!
34. Love the piano video best part of the last 2 episodes!

Episode 3

Well what more can I say today then goodbye Bentley!

- Ok did anyone else find the dancing with Ben a little strange? Ok maybe it was just me.

-I think it would be fun to dance a huge choreographed number out of nowhere it is a Disney dream come true...but not on a date.

-I guess Ben C. isn't so bad but I still get a goober vibe from him...Maybe it was the white pants pink shirt and navy blazer???

- Phantom is revealed and she is not impressed.

-He should have kept the mask on.

-Phantom is just weird he doesn't even have a cool personality.

-Ok group date idea baddddddd don't do it. She's doing it.

-It's a roast Ash if you can't handle it DON'T DO IT!

-The jokes at the Phantom's expense are priceless.

-William you are cute but you are dumb....Ouch a little below the belt.Plus you aren't even funny!

-I hate Bentley!! Taking and opportunity to mess with her head?! You are the devil!

-Glad Ashley finally told Bentley that she had been warned...Loved how he tried to stammer for a reason that would be said. 

-Are you serious William???  Say you're sorry and make it up to her.

- I wish William got on the bus!!!

-Ashley is buying his totally fake BS! Gahhh girls are dumb.

-Looks like Bentley is going to to one thing right today!

-No way blaming it on your kid? Man up and tell the truth!

-Ashley is a bad crier.

-He is a total creeper...

-Bentley you should hide for a while because the women of Salt Lake City hate you!

-Is that Vaseline on her bed stand? Hope that is for your eye makeup!

-Poor JP!

-He's being a good sport she is totally not fun!

-PJ's on your first date with this guy??? uggg hair and glasses...not hot! Where did his PJ's come from?

-Ha ha ha pj's on JP....I think I might be losing my mind too...Ha ha ha ha

-He's sweet!

-Don't like the cocktail dress.

-Cue dramatic picture turn!

-Chris grab her and shake her.

-He's totally playing her shrink.

-I think at this point the producers should let her see Bentley's "confessions" the girl needs to get over him.

-Good call losing the Phantom...but you should have kept Chris D. instead of William.

Episode 2

Would have posted this sooner but I was just able to watch this weeks episode last night. Hopefully I can remember all I wanted to say.

-I still find Ashley annoying but I think she is a nice girl...plus the girl had a hot body!
-Ummm did anyone else find the William date inappropriate....not a good idea to be planning a wedding on the first date...Hello desperation!

-William is cute...I'm telling you it's the dimple! However he's never going to win. Sorry dude she's looking for someone to marry and you sell cell phones...go back to school get a real job and then you will have your pick of ladies, I promise!

-Why oh why or why does the Bachelorette always make the guys do things that are uncomfortable. If I paid good money to see the Jabbawockeez the last thing i would want to see is bumbling bachelors fouling it up.

-I'm pretty sure that Ben F. and Constantine are the same person. (is it just me?)

-Already totally sick of douche bag Bentley...hoping that the sneak peak of next week means he is doing one thing right and leaving!

-I don't like West either sorry maybe it's the dead wife thing or the fact that he's a nerd-o!!

-Enough with every guy and his sob story....this is starting to feel like the the horrible talk that was given in church this Sunday about the guy who broke his back and legs and ribs and who knows what else....I digress.

-I wonder where they had that coin made...I want one.
-Kind of bummed JP didn't win the toss.
-The coin flip date is a bore and so is Micky!!!
-Kill Matt...we wanted to see the Phantoms face....RATS!
-Ashley seriously you have good radar??? He's a total player!
-I'm liking about 80% of Ashley's wardrobe...good thing Ashley is the Bachelorette because if it was Chantal it would be a fashion nightmare!
-Any Ben C. fans out there stop reading! He is such a goober!
-Don't keep the Phantom gahhhh and the dentist.
-Who's Lucas? And who cares?
-Sad I liked Ryan M. but he did have some crazy hair.
-I still like Ryan P. he's adorable! I hope she takes him out next week!

I can't remember anything else I wanted to say but if I think of anything I will let you know!

Quoted

Found this quote today and fell in love with it. It expresses what I feel for R!

“I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where.
I love you simply, without problems or pride: I love you in this
way because I do not know any other way of loving but this,
in which there is no I or you, so intimate that your hand
upon my chest is my hand, so intimate that
when I fall asleep your eyes close.”
PABLO NERUDA

The Bachelorette

Episode 1:

I'm not going to lie I am a little obsessed with this show....it's like rubber necking! It is such a disaster but so entertaining. I know there are several places in blog land that do a weekly re-cap and I am going to add my 2cents here....why because I can.

- Ok first thing first...Yay Ashley you are looking better this season...I think it's the eye brows but it's hard to say.
- Cute bunch of guys...I am a sucker for guys with dimples (I've got my own dimpled guy and I LOVE it!)
- Phantom of the Opera dude, I get what you are trying to do but find a better mask and stop being creepy!!!
-Tim...Timmy seriously passed out drunk...nothing says looking for love than slurred words and snoring...HOT!
-Ben C. is this seasons "guard and protect your heart guy!" I can feel it!
-Sad for Anthony.....sorry you are so cliche but I full on clapped when you showed up with the open shirt and gold chain. I'm a little afraid that Tony Soprano might off Ashley for letting you go.
- Bentley.....NOT CUTE! He is this seasons jerk...Ashley get smart ASAP...but honestly this is scripted TV and he is there for ratings....I am going to love to hate you this season. (p.s. Cozy is not a name...maybe she should get together with Michael Jackson's Blanket)
- Ashley must like the floppy brown hair because she kept all three of them.
- West I'm sorry about your dead wife but I am pretty sure I heard that same scenario on Dateline on ID and the guy drowned his wife....just saying!
- My top three as of last night are 1. Ryan P. 2. Ben F., and 3. J.P. we'll see what happens.


If you follow the show let me know what you think!
-

Quickie!

I have a lot of things I need to post about but at this moment I just wanted to shout it out to the world that I am engaged to R! I am so excited!!!! We haven't got a date set yet but it should be this fall! Can't believe that things have worked out for me so well I am the happiest girl alive!!!

R's Birthday

R's actual birthday was kind of crappy he did taxes, had his truck break down, and we ended up eating JCW's and cake late at night. We made up for it the next day with dinner and then playing at Provo Beach Resort. Of course the only pictures I have are from the crappy day. Sorry R! I heart you mucho!

Ali

Here is another photo dump of my puppy Ali!  I love this stupid dog....and she is stupid!!!

Daddy's 25th birthday...(52nd)

We had a lot of fun this year celebrating my dad's 52 or 25th birthday....We had the whole family and games and cake and pie...it was a good time!

More Snow Stuff

Just dumping some pictures on this for our last bit of winter fun. This was in early March...but the way things are lately maybe we should have kept the winter stuff out longer!

Day of Love and Momma's Birthday!

Valentines is always a busy day at our house with dates, school parties, and of course the most important my mom's birthday. Mom went out on a hot date with dad so R came over to the house and cooked me dinner while I made a birthday cake. Plus R spoiled me rotten! Then the gang came over and by gang I mean the Henrie's and Jake and Court! It was a great day! Hope you told the people you love that you love them!

Snowmobiling

R and I went snowmobiling up Hobble Creek Canyon on Saturday! It was so much fun!!!!!
