Twilight review!! No spoilers though...

I absolutely, positively loved Twilight! Of course it was not better than the books. But, that was to be expected. And some of the special effects were not up to par. But, who cares! It's budget was only 38million, or something. I loved all of the cast, they did an awesome job. Especially Robert Pattinson as Edward. :) Love him. So that's all that I'm going to say. I loved it and I'm going to see it again this weekend. haha

Twilight!! Holy crap!!!

I am not sure if I have mentioned that I'm excited to see this movie yet.... haha. Well I am! And tomorrow night I finally get to. I will definitely post Friday morning to let you all know what I thought. I know I will not be disappointed. I seriously can't wait any longer!

Oh I love my little Batman. Halloween was great this year. Well Luke actually went trick or treating with his Dad. But, our family did our Halloween party the week before. It's always so much fun with all the kids dressed up. As soon as Luke puts on this costume he is in character, and doesn't get out until he takes it off. It's hilarious. He even talks like Christian Bale does in the movie.
My new job is going great. Luke is still liking school... for the most part. He will be turning 5 in less than a month. It's crazy, I'm going to have a 5 year old. He is so sweet, and he has the biggest heart. And he is freakin hilarious, everything that comes out of his mouth makes me laugh. Especially when writing my dad a note telling him to watch out for the storm troopers, then saying I love you, in the name of Jesus Christ amen. What a sweetheart.
I'm off to Vegas for the weekend for my friend Carlee's birthday. Excited to get away, but I will miss my little man.
Glad the election is over, and I'm very happy with the outcome. (that's all I'm saying, I'm off politics for a while :) )
Oh and I'm going to see Twilight the movie at midnight next Thursday.... I will be so tired the next day at work, but it will be worth it. I can not wait for this movie! It's gonna be awesome.

Election day is finally here!

I hope you all went out and voted today! This is such an important day, and I am so proud to say that I am going to vote. This country needs a huge change, I hope whichever candidate ends up being our new president can step up to the plate and actually do some of the things they say they will.

Another Twilight tv spot...

One more tv spot Twilight preview. It has a couple new scenes. Can you believe they have had six of these so far? Insane. I think this one is my fav so far. I'm so excited for this movie!!

Twlight T.V. spots.. just thought I would share them.

Holy crap, so yeah.. Edward/Robert Pattinson could tell me to get in the car anytime he wanted to. :)

Best pics ever! Hahahaha

I don't think I've ever laughed so hard in my life..........

New Twilight trailer!! So excited to see this movie!

Also, I highly recommend you watch this at http://www.myspace.com/trailerpark It's in HD and its on a bigger screen. So much better.

Best political video I think I've seen so far...seriously hilarious!

Seriously guys, don't vote.....

Weekend fun...

Little boys are just the best! I have so much fun with my boy. He amazes me everyday. This is a picture my dad took of him when he was going to church with Lizzie. He's so handsome!

We had a great weekend. Luke had a sleepover with Alex on Friday, it was so much fun. Yesterday Luke and I just ran errands and then we went out to dinner with my mom and dad, Lizzie and Taylor, and Ashley showed up for a bit. It was Luke's idea to go to the Mexican restaurant La Cocina. He was very persuasive. It was hilarious. So we had to go.

Other then that not much going on. I'm looking forward to my annual trip to Bear Lake with my friends over the 24th. I'm seriously so excited! I need a vacation. :)

A few of my favorite things right now...

Ok so Luke is at Primary with Lizzie right now, he was so excited to go. He even left his new church shoes out by the front door last night, so cute! I thought I would get a little post in while he was gone. I got this cute idea from my friend Andrea. So here are a few of my favorite things right now...


Weight watchers cookies and cream ice cream bars, yum-o! They look weird, but they are so good! I would eat them even if I wasn't attempting to count points. Attempting being the key word there. :)

Sunscreen, and not just any sunscreen. This spray stuff. I love it! It doesn't make a mess, works great. And I love the smell of it. Aly reminded me that it smells like Halloween hairspray. :)

I love this movie! Probably my favorite movie of the year. I know it came out last year but I just barely saw it like a month ago. Phenomenal. Go see it, if you haven't already. Oh yeah and the soundtrack is also amazing it is all done by Eddie Vedder, I have most of it on my blog already.

Coldplay- Viva la Vida, Death cab for cutie- Narrow Stairs, and Vampire Weekend. All three are amazing albums. I am loving them right now.

Iced green tea lemonade from Starbucks, SO good! Anyone that likes green tea and lemonade I highly recommend them. Great on a hot summer day.

Yes, the Twilight series and anything to do with it, even the movie. If any of you are as obsessed about the movie as me, check out Twilight Tuesdays on mtv.com. Every Tuesday they have something new about the movie. :)

These Boyfriend sweats from Victoria's Secret. They are so comfortable and so cute. I love them.

MAC lipglass, well or anything else MAC. All of their stuff is fantastic.

It wasn't that long of a list, but just wanted to share some of the things I love. Hope you all are having a great Sunday!!!

Summer is finally here...

I have mixed emotions about summer finally being here. On one side I'm way excited and on the other, it's freakin hot out! I guess I'm never happy about the weather... whatever. :)
So I went camping again this weekend, I am really starting to love it. I could go every weekend. Other then that not much going on. Luke and I have been enjoying going to movies, playing outside, and just hanging out. He is such an amazing kid. I learn something new from him every day.
Check out my countdown to Breaking Dawn... I'm way too excited for this book. I can't believe it's less than 40 days until we find out that Bella becomes a vampire. :) haha ok I only wish. I love Edward... I'm done being a dork.
Hope everyone is having a fantastic summer!!

Luke's first camping trip...

Last weekend I took Luke on his first camping trip. I know, weird huh? I would have never thought I would've been the one to take him. Not that I don't love going camping, but usually I can only handle about one day and I don't love getting that dirty :) We had so much fun. My friends loved having him there. We went fishing, shooting(that part he absolutley loved, don't worry, my friends were very careful) ate hot dogs and made smores. I loved our little getaway. Can't wait until I can take him somewhere again. He is the best kid, and I have so much fun with him.
As you can tell I only have one song on my playlist... man I love this song. I get so excited when the itunes commercial comes on. I can't wait until the album comes out. Ash, I know you said you don't really like Coldplay anymore, I think you should give them another chance. :)

I'm done with American Idol!

Yep, you heard me right. I'm done with that show... Michael Johns who was my favorite was voted off last night. Crooked show... votes don't really matter. People with no talent stay on there forever and the one's with real talent get voted off. Lame. Ok, I still like Carly, both David's and sometimes Jason. But I just had to vent. :)

Luke's gone for the evening, time to update...

I thought I would switch up my layout... I was getting so sick of looking at it. Maybe that's why I was getting so burned out on blogging.

Ok so next wednesday is my birthday (the big 24) So let's just say I'm getting ready for a pre mid-life crisis or metal breakdown. I actually would prefer the crisis, because doesn't that mean I buy a cool new car, or lose a bunch of weight etc.???? I know 24 isn't old but for some reason that is sounding a ton older. Maybe it's because on top of turning 24 I have a 4 year old. :) I am excited for my birthday though.

So I have a request... does anyone have any good new music?? Good being the key word there :)
You know when you just get sick of listening to the same old shiz all the time and you need to get a couple new cd's???? Well I could definitely use some right now. Also I'm looking for some music to workout to. Suggestions are all appreciated...

Oh yeah baby!!

Ok so here it is, my picture with Joel McHale. Seriously, I love this man. Ha Ha. Other then that not much to post about. I'm really excited for my trips in April. I'm going to Vegas my birthday weekend and then Chicago the end of April. Yep I said Chicago, I couldn't stay away for very long. I love that place. Life is really great right now.

25 things about me.

Ok here goes... I don't think I can get to 50, but we'll see how far I get.

1. I have double jointed fingers and toes...
2. I love diet coke.
3. I am really sarcastic, sometimes I don't realize it and I hurt people's feelings
4. I love laughing
5. I was scared of my sister Aly growing up. One time I wore an outfit to school that Chris gave her, she ran after me saying she was going to kill me. So I hid in the bathroom and told my mom. This is so funny because she is such a sweet person now. :)
6. I use to get ear infections all the time. Thinking back it was probably because Aly told me to put a heart shaped bead in my ear because it was a bell tone hearing aid.... big mistake. A month later I had to go to the Dr. to get it taken out because I was in such pain. (Sorry Aly I'm done)
7. Giving birth to Luke was so easy I would do it a lot more one day. :) I just don't want all the kids ha ha
8. my favorite colors are black and red.
9. I don't really like chocolate, so my family thinks i'm not really a Durham girl... and I don't like naps.
10. I hate shopping at TJ Max, Nordstrom rack, and kohls etc. Not that I hate a good deal I just hate searching for things.
11. I love my date nights with Luke. He really is the best kid. I love him so much.
12. I love going to the movies, or renting them.
13. I love going out to new restaurants, not that I usually try new things I just like new places.
14. I absolutely love the Fall
15. I hate Winter
16. I love going shopping by myself.
17. I love getting new makeup.
I can't stand people who can walk in public places... meaning they stop right in front of you or they walk really slow and don't pay attention to who's behind them.
18. I would love to be a labor and delivery nurse.
19. I still love laying out in the Summer.
20. I love music.
21. I wish I could go back to school.
22. Speaking of school... In junior high I told my shop teacher I was deaf in one ear that's why I was so loud in class... He believed me and also gave me a C instead of an F. Ha Ha
23. I am scared of marriage...
24. I hate spiders. One night years ago a spider landed on my head and I ran downstairs freaking out... no one believed me until I found a crumpled up spider a day later. Sick.....
25. When I was little I wanted to be in a band. So glad I'm out of that grunge phase.
Well I got halfway. I don't think I can do 25 more. Hope this is good enough Aly.

Joel McHale woohoo!!!!

Sorry I haven't posted in awhile, I haven't had much to post about.....
So last night I saw my favorite guy ever... Joel McHale! He is the host of the Soup on the E! channel. Wow he was freaking hilarious. Such a great night, and then after the show he met everyone on our way out the door. My friend Jen and I wore shirts that said I heart Joel McHale.... He loved them. We took a picture with him (which i'll post later when I get it) and I hugged him twice. :) I seriously love him.

Books anyone????

Ok so I recently found a new love of reading. Yes i'm almost 24 years old and just barely figured out that I love reading. I'll admit it even though it's kind of embarrassing. Oh well, So my point to this post is does anyone have any great books that they would like to reccomend to me? Currently I am reading A Thousand Splendid Suns... can't think of the author's name, but he wrote The Kite Runner. Hope everyone had an amazing Holiday season. I know I did, but i'm glad it's over. I'm so ready for spring.... I can't take this winter anymore. Peace.
