Today is my sister in law's birthday and I have to say that I love her to death! She has been there for me through soooo many things and is a great friend. I love you Alison and hope today was awesome for you.

I've been Tagged!

I'm not posting any pictures, but I was tagged by my friend Randa, so here goes how our little family started!

1. Where did you two meet?
We met in the lobby of Valley View Towers up here at USU. We were both sitting in the lobby watching the "Old" Beverly Hills, 90210, and Aaron was making rude comments about it and so i turned around and according to him told him to come sit up by me so I could yell at him easier. I don't recall saying I wanted to yell at him, I recall telling him to "Shut up"!

2. What was the first thought that went through your head when you met?
Boy, he is such a jerk and nerd!

3. Do you remember what he was wearing?
I don't remember the clothes, but he had a bright yellow jacket on that he wore everywhere.

4. Where was the first time you kissed this person?
In my dorm room.

5. Where did you go for your first date?
To the Miss USU Homecoming pageant.

6. How long did you know this person before you became a couple?
A week.

7. How did he ask you out?
We were sitting in the lobby again and he pretended that a friend of his wanted to ask me out to homecoming. First, I told him to explain to me what his friend looked like and after about 5 descriptions, I realized it was him and then he admitted that he wanted to take me himself.

8. Has this person ever proposed to you?
Yes.

9. Do you and this person have any kids together?
We have a beautiful daughter and two rowdy sons and another son on the way.

10. Have you ever broken the law with this person?
The statute of limitations hasn't run out on that one yet!

11. When was the first time you realized that you liked this person?
Probably within a couple of months.

12. Do you trust this person?
Yes.

13. Do you see him as your partner in your future?
Yes.

14. What is the best gift he gave you?
In all honesty, I would have to say the gift of marriage and our children.

15. What is one thing he does that gets n your nerves?
When I ask him to do something and he doesn't just do it, he waits until it is a good time for him. He is always getting after our son for not responding right when we ask him to do stuff.

16. Where do you see each other in 15 years?
Life is so unpredictable, I can't even imagine.

17. What causes the most arguments?
Household chores.

Yes.

20. Who do you tag?

Happy Birthday Aaron!

So, this past week was my sweetheart's birthday. I won't tell you how old he is now because he is still trying to come to terms with it himself! We kept it low key. He had TONS of schoolwork to do the night of his birthday, so I had the kids make him home made cards and I made him a steak and potatoes dinner. Now, for those of you who know me, know that he does the cooking in our house and that I burn or ruin everything I cook, but I attempted and successfully made steak and then sauteed onions and mushrooms to go with the steak and then made mashed potatoes. So, that was my gift to him, a meal that turned out!! I also made him a cake and that turned out yummy! So, he is now another year older but still the man I feel in love with.

Happy Thanksgiving Late!!

I know that Thanksgiving is over but I have kept forgetting to post about ours. We had a very nice, relaxing holiday. We went to Amy's dad's house and shared a delicious, but simple meal with him. We TRIED to go see the lights down at Temple Square, but we drove around for a half hour looking for parking and finally gave up. We could've parked at the Gateway Center but Aaron asked me if I wanted to walk the 8 blocks to Temple Square and I immediately said no! So, we came back home that night. We forgot the camera, so sorry, no pics!
