I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas!!! No pictures this year, sorry! This Christmas was a little bit different then the rest. My dad is a conductor for Amtrak (don't know if I spelled the name right, but it is the train for passengers that runs all over the US.) My dad has been lucky enough to be home every Christmas, but this year he got called out. So my family couldn't celebrate till Sunday, the 27. To a little kid, that could be a bummer. you already have to wait to long as it is! and your so excited! But I'm a big girl and I was okay with it;). But it turned out to be a good thing in the end because I got to have 2 Christmas's! one with land's fam, then 2 days later with my family. Christmas Eve we went to His cousins house and had dinner, Santa came for the kids, then the adults play a game with presents. I got a Snuggie. It's hilarious. then We went to his brothers house to get our Christmas PJ's! then went to bed.

This Christmas was awesome. Me and land spoiled each other. He gave me gorgeous diamond earrings! I told him I wanted earrings that didn't infect my ears cuz they are so sensitive. I didn't think he would get my real diamond! next best thing to a diamond ring, right? and he got me a sweet new golf bag to go with the clubs he got me for my bday, Juicy Couture perfume (smells soooo good) and a duffel bag for camping (its funny cuz when we go camping, I have this nice luggage I am so worried about getting dirty.) Diamond earring cost as much as our budget, so he went over, that stinker. but i guess its OK because...

I went over too! This was the best Christmas he has ever had. He wanted a bullet re-loader so bad so I got him one. and some dang good looking hats (he is a hat guy), a gun cleaning kit, underwear and tank tops, accessories for his re loader.

Then with my family, Christmas is such a big deal. My parents go way over board. I got an 32g iphone, 2 pairs of jeans (which i desperately needed!) North Face black vest, Nordstrom gift cards and a mini printer that prints out tiny pictures from your phone or camera. But we have to take that back because the quality isn't that great. and a Nixon watch, and other sweet stuff that no one cares about.

Im kind of sad it's over. this time of year I always get a little sad. But I am so ready for 2009 to be over. 2010 is gonna be a great year, I can feel it!! and I am so excited. But The excitement will be over when Jan and Feb is over cuz those months suck!!!!! blah, they are no good.

(so I look like crapola in this pic. my face gets blotchy and dry in the winter. sucks!)

Sunday was the Green family Christmas party. The Green's are my dads mom side of the family. Sadly I never met my grandma Joann. Joann is my middle name and I am honored to be named after such a great woman. But this party was the best family Christmas party in the history of family Christmas party's! My aunt Paula has an arcade in her basement. So me and Landon played air hockey for a while. We are so competitive!!!! he kicked my butt. Then we both played with my cousins darling little daughter Riley who is 4 or 5 years old. She kicked both our butts! She kept saying, "I'm on Fire!" ha ha it was so cute. Instead of Santa, we had a MAGICIAN!!!! he was sooooo funny and he did some amazing tricks. I couldn't take my eyes of him. I have a bad attention span, but I was so into it. He made rabbits disappear and a dove appear! He was hilarious! I want my wedding at my aunts house. it's perfect for a wedding. I was showing Landon where we would get married, where the tables would be, ha I think I scared him a little bit. Maybe I was getting a little ahead of myself. but a girl can dream right???

I can't believe Christmas is in 10 days! I got most of my shopping done. last year I told myself that I will not leave it to the last min. I think I was still shopping on the 23rd. But this year, I'm a little early which is awesome. but next year hopefully I will even be sooner! Landon is going to be so lucky this Christmas! this will be the best Christmas he has ever had! I know he will tell me that when he sees what I got him. he wanted it more then anything! But I can't tell ya what I got for him!

I was at work today walking down the stairs outside and this darling 3 or 4 year old saw me. this is what she said:

Hi!
Hi!
I'm going to see the dentist!
You are? is he gonna look at your teeth?
Yep! what are you doing?
I work here and I make retainers for kids teeth.
(she thinks real hard for a min)... Are you the Tooth Fairy?
No, but I wish I was.
Oh...

That made my morning! It was the cutest thing ever!

Wanna know something really embarrassing??? getting pulled over/ having to deal with the same cop 3 times with in the last 3 weeks! yup, that's what happened to me. The first time it was my fault. I barely tapped the back of this guys bumper and put a tiny scratch in it. ( So glad it didn't do anything to my baby Acura. ) ya I deserved it because I do tend to follow to close and now I learned my lesson. So $120 fine and that's the end of that. Then, about 8 days after that incident, I was hauling butt down 5th south in Bountiful because I was in a hurry. I was going 50 and the speed limit was 30. Flashing lights behind me, and what do ya know? same cop! He recognized my licence plate, so he made a comment about the week before. I gave him my info, he went to his car, turned right back around and he said "ya know, I would of given you a pretty hefty ticket but someone was hit on their motorcycle so I have to leave to go to them, just don't speed." I would of had like 300 dollars in fines this week! So he let me off. I was sooooo lucky. It is so hard to not speed in my car. brand new cars just drive so smooth, I cant help it! but I am trying to be better.... anyway, last night I was on my way to landons and I was stopped at an intersection on 4th north and 5th west. all the sudden, WHAM! I got rear-ended buy a 16 year old new driver. It totally Jared my neck back and forth a few times and I had pain in my neck. The cops come, and you guessed it, the same stinkin cop! I have vanity plates, and you cannot mistake my car if ya know what they say. First thing the cop said was "not you again!" (at least this wasn't MY fault this time!) There are only 2 bolt marks from the other cars licence plate on my bumper and that will get fixed. (my car is indestructible I guess) So for insurance reasons, my dad made me ride in the ambulance and go to the ER just to make sure I was OK. What a night! I'm nervous to drive now! last night brought back so many bad memories from when I was in a horrible accident about 5 years ago (that accident wasn't my fault either). They had to use the jaws of life, had to have surgery, it was very bad. Good thing new cars beep if ya don't wear your seatbelt, cuz honestly, i doubt I would wear it that much. I just hope that if I am ever pulled over or something, it isnt that same cop!

Hope all of you are enjoying your weekend!

I love love love a good healthy sandwich, toast, french toast, PB&J, But when ya add the 2 slices of bread, That can tack on up to an extra 200, to 220 calories! So I quit eating those things. Thank you so much Misty for telling me about this! This bread only has 45 cal per slice! and it is 100% whole wheat. Thank you Sara lee for letting me finally indulge in a sammich and not feel too guilty. I'm eating a peanut butter and honey sandwich at this moment! and no, I will not feel guilty!

Meet Landon.

I have been dating him seriously since the first week of July. I have known him for a few years, but never really paid attention to him. ha ha. But we started hanging out and hit it off! we have so much in common. we are always going camping, fishing, 4 wheeling, going to the gym, anything we do we have a blast. I love him to pieces. He treats me like such a princess and he is so caring. So hopefully I can keep this blog updated with us, and not just crazy random boring posts I have been doing!

Cant wait to rock my new Frye boots. My mom used to wear these when she was my age (like 100 years ago..he he) they were in style back then, disappeared, and now they have been back for a few years. So against my will, she FORCED me to let her buy them for me. I do not deserve them, but thank you mom! your the best!

Just got the new J. Crew catalogue in the mail. In the great words of Rachel Zoe, "I Die". All their stuff is so stinking cute! Looks like ill be doing lots of shopping there this fall!

I absolutely love miniature things!!!! And I love watermelon, so this idea is so stinking cute and perfect for the summer

Petite watermelons
*2 limes *1 small box of red Jello
*mini chocolate chips

Cut both limes in half lengthwise. Scoop out all the fruit with a spoon. Place the limes in a muffin tin to keep them from tipping over. Make the box of Jello according to the Jiggler directions. Carefully spoon Jello into the limes halves. Chill until almost firm. Using a skewer push the mini chocolate chips into the Jello for "watermelon seeds." Chill until until firm, then cut into slices.

I just received these shoes in the mail. They are so dang cute and comfy! perfect for summer time!! and the best part is, because I bought a pair of shoes, a child in need will also receive a pair! (I'm sure you all have seen the AT&T commercial for TOMS shoes) so if you feel like getting yourself a pair, and doing a good deed to Boot, ch-ch-check em out!


ill try to be better at this, I swear! even if i just post about random stuff... it's better then nothing!

so my blog isn't private anymore.... and i don't care who reads it!

Off to Wendover for the night with some friends!!! I hope I win Big!!!
