What a sweet husband I have!

As many of you know, last week Logan flew to Salt Lake for conferences for his company. I was alone and without manly protection for three days and two nights! But he brought me home some airport gift shop jewelry! How sweet is that?! I am so glad that he is home now and I love my beaufiful new mood ring. Thanks for thinking of me Logan!

Can you say Red Eye of Death?

The Xbox "took a dump" on Logan yesterday. Too bad I guess.

Happy Heart's Day!

Believe it or not, this is the best photo I could get of us. Logan is just too silly sometimes.

I got Logan a "Geek Clock". Each number is some weird mathematical thing that means that number. His office at work needs some serious accessorizing.

Logan is so sweet. I asked him for perfume since I ran out of it recently. He went and smelled so many testers and left them in his car and now it smells like a dozen women have been in there... anyway, he brought his favorite three into work for me to smell the other day and when I picked one he said "Sweet!", I was like, "Why is that the cheap one?" Eventually I got it out of him that he had already bought that one because he liked it and was just glad that I had chosen it too. He also got me Dove chocolate that he used to get me all the time when we were dating (I had to hide them from my roomies), and in my card was the "Perfect Wife" pin that I am wearing in the picture. LOGAN IS SOOOOO SWEET!!!

The Special Pink Shirt

This might seem weird to you, but I call it sentimental...



My Special Pink Shirt wasn't special until I wore it on my first "real" date with Logan. That was also the first time we kissed. The weird part was that I was wearing this shirt when he asked me to go ring shopping with him. That made my Special Pink Shirt more special. Being the sentimental idiot that I am (and the superstitious part of me believing this shirt was obviously lucky), Iwore it when we went ring shopping. This is also the shirt I changed into when I changed into normal clothes after our reception. I wore it last Valentine's day, I wore it on our first anniversary with my wedding jewelry (see photo) and I am wearing it today. I think this story will be news to Logan. I doubt he has ever noticed that I wear this Special Pink Shirt on special occasions. HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY EVERYONE!!

The Amazing Capabilities of a Jump Drive

Mostly I just post this story because there was nothing more exciting and our blog was sad.

Before I got to work today my friend and former classmate dropped off his cop uniforms to be cleaned at Malibu. He came in while I was there to see if he had left his jump drive in his shirt pocket. He had...and unfortunately it had already been washed and dried. The cap was completely melted on and the whole thing was filled with water. AND YOU KNOW WHAT? IT STILL WORKS!

We pried it open and tried it out. I was pretty impressed with how durable it was. So FYI- if you wash your jump drive don't assume it's ruined and chuck it.

Lost and Found

This weekend we were at my Mom's and I was digging in my old closet through boxes of books I had when I was little, that I seriously don't remember when the last time was that I dug through them, and I found my LONG LOST BABY BOOK! I was so happy! It has been missing for a very long time and the only picture we had of me when I was a baby that wasn't in it was the hospital one, but now I have lots! They are mostly old fading Polaroid pictures so I scanned them and I am going to make myself a real baby book! This is just a preview. The old Polaroids didn't scan too well, and if you have any advice please tell me! Thanks.

Arts and Crafts with Logan

Logan recently bought a keypad for his Xbox controller to make sending messages through Xbox Live easier. The only problem is that the controller is black and the keypad is white. We had to go to Robert's and then to Michael's to find a flat black paint pen (Because Robert's is stupid, according to Logan). Finally we found an appropriate pen and Logan came home and went straight to crafting!

Door Saga

The other day we came home from grocery shopping and the front door was wide open, needless to say I was really freaked out, but it turned out that there was just something causing the door not to shut and no one had robbed us. Logan thought that there was something wrong with the bottom of the door so we took it off (it was raining outside, by the way) and fixed it...and it still wouldn't close. Any way, after more looking we discovered that there was something wrong in the door jam where the knob latches in. Ha-Ha! We did it for no reason!

Sprinkles and Big Tuna

On January 22, 2009 we doubled our family's size. Be purchased Sprinkles, who is small and white with an orange spot on her tail and on her head and also Big Tuna, who is small and orange. As all of you Office fans know, Sprinkles was named in memory of Angela's deceased cat, that Dwight mercy killed by drugging it and putting it in the freezer. Big Tuna was named after Andy's nickname for Jim.

A Question of Manners

When one is invited to dinner party, and one does not like the menu, is one allowed to request a change of the menu? Multiple times even? Or is it the role of the host/hostess to determine the menu and the guests just have to deal with it? Please leave comments about what your opinion is.

10 Things I like about XBOX LIVE/ Halo 3

1. The Funny Gamer Tags I see, like "PowerfulPooPoo".
2. The fact that Cortana doesn't nag me.
3. when I finally get an achievement I've been working on.
4. It's a good excuse to use my new TV and surround sound system.
5. I can spend quality time with my nephew with out driving to Bloomington. I could also spend time with my brother if he would upgrade to Gold again.
6. The satisfaction that comes with getting a killjoy.
   
7. The Halo Announcers voice.
   
8. It gives my wife something to blog and face book about.
9. It keeps me humble.
10. When I actually get a kill on Alek.

Here a picture of me getting Alek with a sword I call it "Sparrow Down"

10 Things I Hate about Xbox Live/Halo 3

1. This morning when I woke up, I not only said good morning to Logan, but also to Alek, who was in Logan's head.
2. I can never tell whether Logan is talking to me, or to Alek.
3. I feel like I married Master Cheif and Cortana as well as Logan a year and a half ago.
4. When I see the final sequence of Halo 3, I find myself feeling really bad for the Cheif, not only because he is lost in space indefinately, but because he "unplugged" Cortana before he went to sleep.
5. Logan has actually stated, "The thing that makes me the happiest is getting a kill joy."
6. I actually know what kill joy means.
7. The Halo 3 music actually puts me to sleep. (I guess this is something good)
8. I wonder what is wrong when I pull into the parking lot after work and I dont see bright flashes coming from our windows and hear gunfire.
9. That I actually helped Logan do the research for his screen name. (Which is really cool, by the way)
10. And the last thing that I hate Xbox Live/Halo 3 is that it is completely taking over my home!

D.I. Finds

Libby told me to start posting my D.I. finds so here is one.


I purchased these cute Valentine's Day blocks on 6-28-08 (I know because it still had the tag on it when I got it out this morning) for $1. They were still in the package and I think that they were a marvelous find. I don't go to D.I. very much anymore, but I love it when I do. I don't always find something good, but when I do it makes all the looking worth while.

WOW!

2 years since our 1st date! WOW, time sure flies when you're having fun!

Entertainment Center: Phase 2

As many of you know, Logan built us an entertainment center a while back (if you don't remember seeing, it look here). There is now a "Phase 2" of said Entertainment Center. Here are some pictures. It's not decorated yet, but hey, give me time...

I know, I know, painting in the house is a bad idea...
Sorry Logan's butt is in the way, but I think you get the idea. Also, ignore the weights on top, the board was a little warped so the weights were fixing it.
