A Great and Terrible Beauty

I just finished the first book of the Gemma Doyle Trilogy called, "A Great and Terrible Beauty" by Libba Bray. I had so much fun reading this book. It's one of those that you just can't put down till it is completely done! I found it in the teen section at Barnes and Nobles, so lets just say it was a very easy read. This book has everything I like: it takes place in Victorian England, It is full of mystery, suspense, romance, beauty, gossip, and even some ghosts to get the blood pumping! I recommend it to anyone who wants to get swept away if a fanciful world for a few hours. I just started the second book on the Gemma Doyle Trilogy, "Rebel Angels". It seems to be very promising. I'll let you know how it is!

Broken Camera

So if you're wondering why I don't post very often, I have a very simple answer: My camera is broken. Yes my beautiful Nikon camera that Jake gave me for Christmas is broken. Every time I turn it on the screen says Lens Error and the lens will not open! Hopefully I can get this fixed asap. I've also been very busy/stressed at my work. So as soon as I get a minute and I have a camera that actually works I will start posting again.

At least my camera doesn't look this bad!

New Moon Exclusive Photo Scene! I'm not joking!!

Oh and you might want to lay a pillow down next to you; people have been known to faint while watching this!!

Best Concert To Date!

Last night Abbey and I went to the Paramore/ No Doubt concert at the E Center. It was amazing! Paramore has been my new favorite band for a little over a year and No Doubt was my favorite band in Jr. High and High School.No Doubt has been apart for a while so it was so cool to see them back together again.

PARAMORE!!

The lead singer of Paramore (Hailey Williams) has an awesome voice live! She sounds just as good if not better then the CD.

If you need a good concert buddy then take Abbey with you. She was rocking out right along with me. Abbey and I were definitely the best fans in the whole concert! Thanks for coming Abbey!

Bachlorette Party

My friend Amber got Married today to Brad Harris but a few weeks a go we threw her a surprise Bachlorette Party. It was so fun, we blind folded Amber and then dropped her off at Grande America where we had a "Grande" night out. We played games, went swimming and watched movies. It was a perfect and much needed girls night!

Christine had decorated our Suite with Bachlorette confetti, banners, and balloons

Then came the presents!!!

Congratulations Amber we love you!!

Belated Post: Zions

Right around our Anniversary last month Jake and I went down to Zions National Park with my mom to go hiking. We decided to hike the Overlook trail. It was very strenuous but worth it all once we got to the top and saw this beautiful view!

If you look very closely you can see a road run along the river at the bottom of the canyon. That is where we started the hike! Let's just say that my calves and knees were burning after this hike.

3 years and counting!

Yesterday, April 13th, was our 3 year Anniversary. I can't believe how fast these 3 years have gone by. It literally feels like it's only been 1 year. I guess that's a good sign. It must mean we still like each other.

When I got home from work yesterday Jake had planned to take me out but I had no idea what we were doing. I was so surprised when he drove me up to Breathe Day Spa and told me he had booked a Spa Pedicure for me. I was so stinkin excited!! (If any of you have ever had a Spa Pedicure you would know that they are way better then those scary nail salons in the mall that often give foot fungi to their clients!) I was taken to a low lit room with soft music, and enjoyed the most relaxing pedicure I have ever had, while sipping on peppermint tea and eating cookies!! All the while Jake was enjoying himself at Barnes and Noble.

After wards I was so relaxed and happy but I felt bad Jake didn't get to do anything. I mean this was OUR Anniversary not just mine. But he said that all he wanted for his anniversary was to see me happy and relaxed. OK so I have the best husband on the planet!! Thank you so much Jake, I love you more than you'll ever know. Thanks for marrying me and putting up with me these 3 years!
