The Jazz Walk

Okay I can watch these two videos over and over and laugh my head off each time. My husband is my world and one of the reasons I love him so much is because he is always able to make me laugh no matter what is going on in the rest of our lives. I was having one of those need to laugh moments and so I'm putting them on here. He'll probably kill me. The first one is from Santa Cruz. Right before we left for California we had gone to my cousin Brenda's Studio's recital. You are probably going to have to have some dance back ground to truly appreciate this immitation of the jazz walk. At the recital all the girls entered the dance floor with this walk. It's one of the first walks you learn when you are taking dance classes. Anyway this was Bryan's first dance recital and he thought the walk was hilarious and that it looked so funny. So this is his imitation of the "Jazz Walk"...

Do the "Bryan"

This is from a night we were playing the board game Ticket to Ride and I beat him. I was rubbing my victory in his face...so he turned up our music started dancing; completely ignore my comments about how amazing I am. :) I thought it was hilarious and taped it, then he realized I was taping and immitated my laughing at the end. Nice.

Presidents Day Weekend.

So thankful for our Presidents...
Especially because they gave me a day off of work to be with Bryan!!! We had beautiful weather this weekend so Bry and I decided to take advantage of it and go to the driving range. As the picture shows I have more of a baseball swing-but it's still fun. I think my excuse is that I don't have my own clubs. :) Bryan is probably the next Tiger Woods; He's got great distance the only problem is that the ball never seems to go straight.

We also went to the jewlery store. My amazing husband got me these beautiful earrings for Valentines Day but they have the push on backs. I have had a horrible experinece with those--lost a pair of my favorite earrings from my parents (which this might be the first they have even heard of it) because those wouldn't stay on--VERY TRAMATIC :)--so I was too scared to keep the ones he got me. We found an equally beautiful pair that I know I wont be able to lose!! After golf and the jewlers we went to Cafe Rio for late lunch. Anyway it was a good, relaxing weekend!!

Valentine's Day

Happy Valentines Day Everyone!!

We celebrated by getting all dressed up and going down to Salt Lake to Biaggis. It's our favorite!! After I got ready I came down stairs and Bry had our champagne glasses full of Martinellis. He did a toast to a wonderful evening and then told me my outfit wasn't complete. He gave me earrings!! What a guy! I'm very, very lucky!


Us at Biaggis. I decided to be brave and try something new this
time. The shrimp was AMAZING!! And Bry got his usual chicken
cannelloni which is always fabulous. Then we ordered chocolate cake to go
and ate it in bed while we watched Lost.
Driving home--I was bored because traffic was bad getting out of SLC--so I took pictures. I'm not quite sure how to flip pictures on this thing...so if I figure it out I'll fix this one of Bry. Anyway Valentine's Day was wonderful. I don't know if it will ever be to the same amazingness level as the one I got to spend with my roommates on our "Italian Outting" a few years back when we decided to put on our hoodies and go to Fazoli's but it was good. :)

Candle Light...

I always wanted to try this but never thought it would be as cool as it is in the movies. It is totally as cool as it is in the movies! I wanted to do something to celebrate all Bry's accomplishments with getting into Law School...so he knew how proud of him I am. I decided to make him a big, surprise dinner. I made homemade lasagna, homemade bread, and a big desert (which because of my amazing cooking skills didn't turn out. Actually I just didn't plan and forgot to buy eggs, but normally it would be because of my cooking).


Anyway, I decided I wanted it to be more than just a meal--it needed to be an actually surprise. So I decided to try the candles. I got a 100 tea candles and lite them all over our downstairs. It looks so neat!! The pictures really do not do it justice. I also got him his favorite, Martinellis, and bought some champaign glasses to have a toast. And of course I had to make a congrats sign--the full word wouldn't fit on our ledge. :)


Bryan's reaction was the best! It made all my work worth it! Bryan came in the door from working all day and was like Oh my gosh, is this for me? And then he just stared. It was great! I think this is the first time I have ever surprised him...I mean every year he ruins my Christmas present surprise--and guesses everything else I plan--so I was quite pleased with myself when I pulled this off! :)
















This is us after dinner....Happy!


Yup, Life is good! :)

IRONY

Does anyone else see the irony in this?!?

Bryan is working on a paper until about 2 am last night. He finishes and wakes me up to read it to me. I reply with, "I'm sleeping right now, but you could read it to me in the morning." And he says, "But I'll be sleeping then."

This morning I am driving to work. You know how when you are in a rush you try and analyze the cars you are pulling up behind to see who would be the fastest. Well this morning on my way up University Parkway I had to choose between an old beater, a SUV, and a mini van. In my head I'm thinking beater--probably not too fast, mini van full of little kids...no way is that mom going to speed. So I picked what seemed obvious to me, the SUV. Well I was soooo wrong. The mini van mom goes blowing past all the other cars. I mean the speed limit is 45 mph...I admit I was going 55 and I'm going to guess she was going about 80mph. WHAT MOM DOES THAT?!? But next time I pull up behind a mini van I may need to give that car a second thought. :)
