I've been Tagged!

My good friend Lauren tagged me: a request for 6 unique/interesting things about myself. By the way, Lauren, I died when you said you wrote Leonardo DiCaprio a letter. Oh yes- We have that in common :) Do I dare admit that I still have a pretty big crush on him?!! AHHH!

Ok so I know mine will NOT be as entertaining as yours: (P.S. good luck with your cooking show... LOL)

1) I am deathly afraid of scorpions. When Shane and I go home to visit my family I HAVE to bring my slippers because I just cannot walk around the house barefoot. Even if my dad does reassure me, a hundred times, he gets the house sprayed regularly. In the summer, everyone was visiting my folks and we went scorpion hunting in the backyard with a blacklight (they glow fluorescent under the light) and I geared up from head to toe with combat boots for the occasion :)

2) Those of you who know me well, know I am worlds biggest animal lover! So you're probably not going to be surprised to know that I literally can tell you which houses within a mile of my house have cats. Yep, I can tell you every detail about the cats at each house and I talk to them everytime I drive by. Pretty sad that I know the neighborhood cats better than the neighbors

3) I sincerely love to cook and bake~ I'd do it all day everyday if it didn't make me fat :) After a long day of running errands I'll come home and most of the time still want to cook an elaborate dinner and dessert. Baking/cooking is actually one of the things I do to relax too. If I'm stressed out I'll start baking enough for the neighborhood. I have to stop myself. Sometimes Shane will come home from work and if there are tarts or cookies everywhere then he knows it's been a stressful day. It's kind of funny to us. I just love to try new things and make things up myself. Ina Garten from 'Barefoot Contessa' is one of my heros! No seriously!

4) I am obsessed with Mountain Biking! Winter is my favorite season up here but it makes me miss biking. I'll do it until it's just too cold out. This morning it was 34 degrees and that was borderline too cold for me to be out riding. We have some great mountain trails just behind our house! In the summer/fall Shane and I love to ride all the way through the provo canyon. When I'm by myself I love listening to my ipod and changing up my route with different sceneries.

5) I have an addiction to buying blankets, candles, wall plug-ins, anything that smells good. Shane says I set the world record for the most purchases. It doesn't matter how many I have-- I always have an excuse to buy more. FYI: the body shop has candle/oil holders where you put a candle in the bottom and a few drops of oil in the top and it will smell the whole house up! I can smell mine from upsatirs when it's in the kitchen. Amazing Holiday scents out right now! Bath and body works have good oils too (christmas tree scent).... but the body shops are a little stronger :)

6) I am very passionately proud to be an American! I realize its the biggest blessing and privilege to live in the USA. Today is Veteran's Day and I've been thinking about my Pappa Tinsley who was a Colonel during World War Two. I ask everyone to remember all these great men and women in your prayers. They truly are the AMERICAN HEROS! We need to remember to live in such a way that we are worthy of the sacrifice of those who gave their lives for this great country. I really am honored and grateful to be an American and I thank my parents for helping me to understand and appreciate this freedom I enjoy.

***Now I'm supposed to tag 6 people to share 6 unique/interesting things about them. I tag--- Jenny Dannels, Chelsey Felman, Katie Brown, Brittany Naef, Chelise Patterson, Tara Jackson, and Tiffany Applegate. Don't let me down girls!

Happy Anniversary!

We got married on November 11, 2005. The weather was perfect. The sealer was amazing. My reception was beautiful! .....Truly a dream come true! Thanks mom and dad for eveything!!

It's been 2 years!...and I still get butterflies

Sunday night we went to Bill and Lynn's. Here we are blowing out our "two" candles :) Don't I have the best family to want to celebrate?!! They even made up a anniversary song to sing to us! LOL

Shane with Bentley. He is getting sooo big and sooo fun! I love him to death!

Friday night we went out with Daniel and Kimberly. I'm so mad we didn't take pictures. We had such a fun time. This was the only one I got after we came back. Duke wasn't feeling well that night, he is the biggest cuddle bug....and actually he's laying across my lap and keyboard right now
Ok here is Alan on Saturday night. Obsessed with Dairy Queen! He ordered a chocolate dipped cone AND a large blizard for the ride home. True story. Oh my hell....Alan if I had all the money in the world I'd buy you your own DQ!....AND arrange a private reunion tour with Erasure!


We were so excited when Sam walked into DQ. Dude, Daniel, next time we go out your bringing Sam! Ahhh, needless to say that was a great weekend of constant laughing. Times are good!!
