homemade

I finished my Wall Art project!!! And it was just in time for my freshly painted bathroom. I'm so glad our guest bath is finally finished!! And i'm pretty pleased with the art i made for it. It was something i was wanting to do for a while, and I really liked the way it turned out.... AND it was SOOO easy!!!

SPLIT!

SO, yesterday at church they announced our Ward S P L I T! Let me tell you people this was needed for so long!! I have been witness to so many ward splits in my life, I think i've lost count. I've also been through 2 stake splits...and this is all within the last 8 or 9 years. I'm really exited for this new experience, but it also means we might not be in scouts anymore. I don't know what's going to happen with our calling. I'm up for anything, but I really will miss those crazy boys!! They've taught me a lot about the difference between being a buddy and being a leader, I know i've grown a lot just from the few months working with them.

This new split also just goes to show how quickly the church is always growing. It is amazing and I am so blessed to be part of this wonderful gospel!! here's to change!!!

OCTOBER 14, 1985

do YOU know the #1 song on the very day you were born???? Well, I DO! it was "Take On Me" by a-ha. (they were a bunch of hotties right?) Pretty sweet huh? Just something funny to know....So go this PLACE and find out your song and post it in my comments please!!

Yay for new Backgrounds!

i'm very HAPPY to have a new background....i really was beginning to hate that hearts/valentines day one. I know St. Patty's Day isn't for pretty much another month, but I LOVE green, and I love that it gave me an excuse to change it!!!!

my new favorite item

I don't usually post things like this, but I had to share my new found love for the Ziploc Zip 'n Steam bags! I know it sounds lazy right...why don't you just get a veggie steamer and do it the real way......but, these little microwavable gifts from heaven are perfect for us!!!!
We are really busy people these days! And we've been trying to eat healthy, which is really time consuming and expensive!! But anyways, i can prepare all my meals in the morning, portion them out and at dinner time i just throw the veggies in the steam bag and *BAM* 2 minutes later they are perfectly steamed and ready to eat! You don't even have to add water or butter....all i put in with them is the wonderful Bruce's Seasoning (pretty much a staple on everything we cook) and they taste awesome! I will never go back to steaming them in a pot..unless maybe i have more time in the evening to make dinner. But for now, this works and it saves me major time, LOVE THEM!

SICK DAYS

Why is it that the days you get so SiCk that you don't feel like doing anything, end up being WEEKENDS?! Seriously the 1 day that i'm bad enough to take a day off from work IS my day off from work! Why o why couldn't it be a monday or friday or ANY weekday!
one of the questions i'm asking in heaven....

Underworld: Rise of the Lycans

Last night Jared and I took my little bro Waylon to go see Underworld: Rise of the Lycans...Her's my review:

Plot: An origins story centered on the centuries-old feud between the race of aristocratic vampires and their onetime slaves, the Lycans

Rated: R - for bloody violence and some sexuality


First off, this is not Underworld 3, it is the 3rd movie to come out, but it is a prequel to the other 2 movies, placed centuries before Underworld.


If you like Vampire/Werewolf movies and lots of blood and sweet action then go see this movie immediately!!! I LOVED this movie, it match all of my expectations and more! I was very worried about how good or bad it might be, considering it was a prequel. Usually i feel like prequels spend too much time trying to bridge the gap between the movies. Or they have way too much or too little info for people who didn't see the originals. This one got it dead on perfect! It had plot and character references to the original Underworld movies, but it wasn't overbearing...it was just enough actually. They also casted perfectly for the part of Sonja...Rhona Mitra...she was awesome! I even liked her better than Kate Beckinsale in the other 2 movies. Granted they played different characters, but Mitra did a way cooler bad A vampire chika! I also thoroughly enjoyed watching Michael Sheen play the infamous Lucian. He was great in the first 2, but this one was all about him and he freaking rocks as a crazy Lycan!! Bill Nighy (Viktor) doesn't dissapoint either...he does the insane weird evil vampire perfectly! I love his reactions and facial expressions!! There was plenty of Vampire vs. Lycan death matches and tons of blood and gore to go right along with Underworld, and Underworld: Evolution. Oh and for all you ladies who are debating about seeing it because of teh violence...this movie has one of the most powerful and intense romance stories ever!! I give it 4.5 stars for pure awesomeness!
