Celine Dion, Taking Chances Tour!

OK so I, without a doubt, have the best husband ever! For Valentines he got me tickets to go see Celine Dion's "Taking Chances Tour". It was just last night, and it was so amazing! I was able to take my mom with me and we loved it! Celine looked so great, and I can't believe how amazing her voice is. My mom took me to go see her perform in Las Vegas for my birthday a couple years ago, so this was a great time for us to reminisce.

Celine Dion has by far the most amazing voice on the earth, especially live!

Mom and I waiting for the show to start. (sorry the quality/ color is off, it is from my phone camera)

The stage did some amazing things with floors changing levels and moving. It was also pretty cool that it was in the middle of the stadium.

Thank you so much Jake!!!

It Fits!

Yes, this is my wedding dress and yes, it is completely zipped up in the back! This hasn't fit for 2 and a half years! It took a lot of hard work, sweat, and sacrifice (giving up my best friend, chocolate and exercising like crazy to be more specific) but I was so excited that i just had to share the joy!

Happy Valentines

This Valentines Jake and I had a great time hanging out during the day and then Jake took me out at night. He also got me flowers and a gift card at Nordstroms, (He really knows how to treat a girl!) and it was just so nice to have a whole day with him!

First we went to Nick's playoff basketball game. I thought it was pretty convenient that they had red jerseys for Valentines. You could feel the love :-)

Nick is #11

Here he is acting all cool. Hey, isn't that a carry?

After Nick won his Basketball game. Jake and I went to eat at Spaghetti Mama's and then to a movie.

I love asparagus.....

and I guess Jake really loves his water.

After the movie we went to a Wise Guys Comedy Club and saw Marcus. He is super famous and was on 2008's Last Comic Standing. It was a great ab work out cause of all the laughing. I had a great Valentines. Thanks Jake. I love you!

"New Moon" again.. better or worse?

****Warning this might be a spoiler. If you haven't read "New Moon", and your planning to don't read this post****

I just finished reading "New Moon" for the second or third time. But this time around I was trying to keep an open mind with everything.Anyways....this time around I wasn't automatically thinking: "you sick dog stay away from Bella!" the first time Jacob was in the book, and I was trying to rationalize Edward's insane girly emotions and Bella's reckless behavior. By controlling my thoughts I think it helped a little. I feel like I have a better perspective where Edward and Bella are coming from (lets just admit that Edward can do no wrong). But I still hate Jacob with a passion! Maybe cause he reminds me too much of stupid boyfriends I've had in the past but I had to skip a few pages cause I couldn't stand how much that "Dog" bugged me. So putting that aside, I loved the end of New Moon. The whole time I was reading the book, the end, was all I could think about. I am really interested how they plan on making the movie with Edward being in Bella's head when she's reckless and I'm interested how they will depict the Volturi. I really hope Dakotoa Fanning accepts the part of the vampire, Jane. That being said I liked the book but it isn't my favorite from the series. Let's see if the movie changes my mind.

P.S. I love Edward!
