Love Like Crazy

I LOVE this song by Lee Brice. The lyrics are awesome and I can listen to it over and over again. There are some phrases that I would love to have on signs all around my future house, especially the ones that are bolded! :)

Be your best friend, tell the truth, and overuse I love you

Go to work, do your best, don't outsmart your common sense

Never let your prayin' knees get lazy

And love like crazy

Just ask him how he made it

He'll tell you faith and sweat

And the heart of a faithful woman,

Who never let him forget

Be your best friend, tell the truth, and overuse I love you

Go to work, do your best, don't outsmart your common sense

Never let your prayin knees get lazy

And love like crazy

Always treat your woman like a lady

Never get too old to call her baby

Never let your prayin knees get lazy

And love like crazy

They called him crazy when they started out

They've been together fifty-eight years now

Ain't that crazy

Playing Catch Up

Okay, so I have a lot to catch up on since Thanksgiving, and I wanted to do it now while I have some time and don't forget to do it! Since Thanksgiving this is what I have done:

*Chris took me to Destinations Inn here in town to tour all the rooms. It's this really cool hotel with themed rooms and I have always wanted to stay there and see what it's like. Every Saturday they let you come in and look at all the rooms for free! My favorite room was Paris, and you can go to this site to see all the rooms: www.destinationsinn.com

*I have moved out of my apartment and back in with the Lee's. It was just getting a little too much to handle with trying to pay for an apartment while going to school and only working part time. So I am back with them and it's going great and I know it's where I need to be right now.

*My car broke down last week. I pulled into the street and my tires just stopped moving! Come to find out my CV axles had broke. So Chris and I tied my car to the back of his truck and towed it over to the repair shop (Yes, we looked VERY redneck, but that's how we do it in Idaho! haha). The repair guys were great, gave me an awesome deal, and now I have a working car again! I do have the worst luck with cars......

*Watched many movies including: Unstoppable, Grown Ups, Knight and Day, and I know this was BEFORE Thanksgiving, but HARRY POTTER! Chris was kind enough to go with me to the midnight premiere even though he isn't that big of a Harry Potter fan and hasn't read the books so he probably didn't know what the heck was going on, but I LOVED it and am so excited to see the next part!

Well, I gotta get to FHE, but will write some more soon! Nighty night!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Yes, I know it's a few days late for that, but I hae finally found a computer and a few minutes to do a post! Yay! This week has been awesome! I had school Tuesday where we got a HUGE blizzard with lots and lots of snow, and pretty much every place in town closed down. I was hoping my work would close down, and they almost did, but decided to stay open, so that meant everyone wanted to come there since everywhere else, including the MALL, was closed! But it wasn't too bad and I haven't had any issues yet with my car sliding off the road or getting stuck in a pile of snow, so I would say this blizzard has been successful! :) Because of all the snow that we got, it made it a little difficult to be able to get in and out of Chris's driveway. He lives out in the country with a long private driveway. So I stayed that night so I would definitely be able to spend Thanksgiving with him and his family. Thanksgiving Day was great! I got to sleep in, but did get woken up by the whole family coming into my room and making sure I woke up. Haha they are great. We got ready and headed up to Rigby to his grandmas house where we watched football, ate a TON of food, and then laid on the floor the rest of the night cause we were so full! I met lots of cousins and had a great time getting to know more of his family. All the guy cousins wanted to do their monthly guys night where they sit around playing video games, making fun of each other, and whatever else guys like to do when they get together, so I went home and was able to watch a little bit of "Friends" and get to bed early. It was a little sad to not be able to be with my own family, but Chris's family made me feel at home and was all so kind to me.

The next day we went to his other grandma's house in Blackfoot where I met MORE cousins, and uncles, and aunts. They are all so fun and welcoming, I just fit in so well. So that was my Thanksgiving, and I know I am VERY LATE! I am sorry! :)

Loving Life

So I am sure you all know that my life right now is filled up with school, work, friends, church, sleeping, eating, and CHRIS. :) They take up ALL my time and keep me very busy. I hope you guys aren't bored yet whenI talk about Chris, but I just wanted to share with you all how GREAT he is! Seriously, he makes me so happy and is always doing things for me. There are many many times where it feels like it's just too good to be true. :) He isn't scared to show his affection for me in front of other people, he is a gentleman and very respectful. He doesn't cease to surprise me, make me feel special, and like him more and more each day. Just a few things he did for me this week was Tuesday, he showed up at my work and surprised me with a Jamba Juice, Wednesday, he rented Toy Story 3 for us to watch cause he remembered me telling him weeks ago that I wanted to see it. Then last night was so much fun....I have to build you up to it though with telling you that before he and I started dating, whenever he would show up to FHE or Sacrament or anything that my ward was doing, ALL the girls flocked to him. He was always surrounded by all the girls. I was never part of that group. I was always on the outskirts doing my own thing. Even though I liked him and wanted to get to know him better, I never tried to get through all those girls. I decided that he would have to make his way to me if anything was ever going to happen. I would say hello and chat with him for a little bit when he came, but then would move on quickly. He has this old Mustang, I want to say it's a '65, but not quite sure, that he would bring to show off.(It looks just like this)

He would take all the girls for rides in it, yet I never got to ride in it. :) So, ever since we started dating, his parents always asked him when he was going to take me out in it, and he always says that it's gotten too cold and wants to keep it in the shop for the winter, so I would have to wait till NEXT SUMMER ! Anyway, yesterday he called and told me he was going to pick me up at 6pm for whatever we were gonna do that night, and I walk outside, and he pulls up in the car! I was so excited! We drove around town for a bit, having lots of people take double takes. But, that car was sweet and we looked pretty dang good in it! :) Anywho, it was an awesome surprise, chris is the best, and I will stop talking now so you guys don't get tired of me going on and on....haha I also gotta get to work. TGIF!

Things I am kind of obsessed with right now...

Okay people, the weather is changing, the leaves are falling, I am pulling out my boots, and I am so happy that I don't even care that it's gonna start snowing soon....what's wrong with me??! haha maybe it's because life is WONDERFUL and I couldn't ask for anything more than what I have right now. :) Awwww okay enough with the mushy stuff....Life is happening and it's happening fast so I wanted to take a second to put down things that I am kind of obsessed with right now. Things that make me smile. Things that get me out of bed everyday. :) (p.s. list is not in any specific order haha)

*Walking to Great Harvest on my break at school to get a hot chocolate and a free slice of pumpkin chocolate chip bread (seriously people, it's kind of getting out of control. I might need someone to restrain me each day!)

*4 wheeler rides with Chris

*Dairy Queen blizzard runs with Chris

*Movie night with Chris

*okay, pretty much ANYTHING I do with Chris :)

*Cinnamon scented candles

*Watching Friends (that NEVER gets old!)

*Everything that I am learning in school (it's so awesome!)

*Knowing that I have Midnight premiere tickets for HARRY POTTER and getting Chris to commit to going with me! I am gonna owe him big time! haha

*Brownies (I make them WAY too much! Good thing I like to bake them and then share them with my friends, cause that would be very bad for me! FYI: brownies and milk is gonna be mine and chris's snack during our movie tonight)

*RASCAL FLATTS NEW SONG!!! You have no idea how stoked I am that they have a new song! Maybe I WILL get to go to one of their concerts! It's on my list! :)

*My amazing mom who does so much for me. I wish there was a way for me to be able to repay her for everything she has done.

*Reading my sister's blog. It makes me smile so much! Even though I am so far away from my family, I love being able to know what's going on with them and watching cute little Ryder get so big!

That's all I can think of right now....if I think of more I will add them. Hope life is great for all of you and I will be back on very soon! :) Happy November!

Happy Halloween!

Hey Guys! I know it's been a while but I NEVER take pictures! haha but last night was the good ol Yount Single Adults halloween activity and dance. My friend Melissa lent me her flapper costume since I am a little low on money this year, but it was PERFECT! :) It was a big hit and had lots of fun. I helped Dain do his makeup, and then us girls had just enough time to put on our costumes and head out! (it took a LONG time to do dains makeup! he is kind of a little diva and likes it just so :)

There were LOTS and LOTS of people there with many activities. Chris was at his grandma's house with his family and wasn't too excited to go to it so I wasn't expecting him to be there at all, but as soon as I got there, guess who surprised me??! CHRIS! :) I was so happy came! I really wanted him to see my costume. yay! So we did a little dancing, ate a little pizza, ran the photo booth, and had a blast seeing all the other costumes that were there. There was lots of craziness but definitely a good halloween!

New Interest

Hey guys! So Beth hassled me a little bit on updating my blog and letting you all know what's been going on in my life lately. So since I have a few extra minutes, I will catch you all up and let you know what my new interest is in my life....:) Back in May, I met this guy named Chris. I thought he was really cute and super nice. We met at FHE and just totally clicked and could talk with ease and laugh a lot together. He was jumping back and forth between singles wards so I would only see him every now and then. We did go to a movie together back in June, but the rest of the summer nothing else really happened. He would invite me to bon fires at his house but they would always be nights when I worked so I wasn't able to go. Then last month when my car was out of commission, I happened to mention it to him so he ended up coming over and fixing my car for me! All he pretty much did was jiggle some wires (something I could have totally done if I would have known!). haha anyway, I invited him to my birthday dinner that was happening that next weekend. The day before my birthday he called me and told me that he wasn't going to be able to make it to my dinner, but he wanted to take me out that night instead to make up for it. So after many calls of finding someone to cover my shift at work, I told him I could go and go we did! It was a very fun night. We went and ate dinner at 5 Guys Burgers and Fries and then went back to his house and watched a movie. Ever since that day, we have talked every day and seen each other ALMOST every day. But he is such a great guy and I have so much fun with him. He makes me feel special and makes me laugh. I enjoy talking with him and just feel comfortable when I am with him. I only have these two pictures of us. I will try to get more!

The first pic is us at a singles dance we had on the river and we were working in the ice cream cart together scooping ice cream for people. The next one is a couple weeks ago, my school put on a hair show at the park for the city that he came and watched! :) But, if you are still reading this, that means you actually care about what I have to say so I guess I could include a few facts about Chris if you would like! He is 26, the oldest of 3 kids. He is a builder for a local cabinet shop and is very talented. He loves 4 wheeling, which we have done A LOT together cause I love it TOO! He has 2 miniature horses that we like to go play with every now and then. He went on a mission to St. Louis, Missouri and he is 6 foot 4 inches! I come up to like his armpit. HAHA So that's Chris and one of the main reasons I have been a little MIA lately, cause he definitely takes up any free time that I am able to squeeze in. :)

That's pretty much it for now. Other than that I am busy with school and work. I am so NOT ready for the cold weather that's coming in either. I do not want it to snow!!
