Eclipse Trailer on Remeber Me

OK ladies, it's official. The very first "Eclipse" trailer will be on the previews of "Remember Me", released on Friday March 12th. If you want to come join me freak out during the trailer and gush every time Robert Pattinson is on the screen, give me a call!

Happy Love Day!

This Valentine's Day weekend was so fun! The celebrations started on Friday where my school went all out for the holiday. We decorated the classroom with streamers and hearts, gave out valentines, and ate lots of candy. Throughout the weekend I made 4 batches of homemade Strawberry Cupcakes (I even pureed strawberries, I was very proud of myself) and to finish the weekend off Jake and I stayed at Hotel Monaco downtown on Sunday night. I haven't had this much fun on Valentine's Day in a long time, and I think those cupcakes are a new, fun and yummy tradition that is going to continue for a long time :)

It was so fun to pretend to be a housewife right out of the 50's
These cupcakes taste just like Valentine's Day should!

Jake gave me these beautiful lilies :)

My students were so fun on Friday. A couple of my students were so nice to give me this flower to celebrate the holiday.

It's official....I'm a Vampire!

Last month I went to help a friend out by doing the make-up at her Vampire Photo Shoot. Right before the shoot began she let me know that she needed more models and that she wanted me to be added into the shoot. I was kinda of reluctant but since it had to do with Vampires I was all over it! I had a blast and it was fun to pretend and act like a Vampire for a day. Here are some of the pics she gave me. To check out a lot more cool photos go to

P.S. These are supposed to be fantasy so please take them lightly. I know I'm not really a Vampire even though I wish I could be. :)

Twilight, What Have You Done To My Wife?

Chill Out and Get Healthy!

So I've been trying to get the right knowledge so I can start living more healthy and lose weight for this year. I was browsing through Barnes and Nobel the other day and I stumbled across this book, "Chill Out and Get Healthy: live clean to be strong and stay sexy". It was a catchy title so I picked it up and I liked what I saw so I decided to go on a whim and buy it and now I think it is one of the best things I have done! This book is focused on helping women do exactly what it says: To stay healthy, strong, and sexy for the rest of my life. The author is in Chinese Medicine and does acupuncture for a living so I was a little skeptical but I decided to read it anyway.

Here are some of the things I really liked about her book: She doesn't push her "beliefs" on you, meaning, she doesn't tell you to go out right now and go to a Chinese Medicine practitioner or start doing acupuncture. She preaches a balanced diet (That includes meat!) just make sure what you are eating is organic and natural. She also tells you to do everything in moderation. Have fun on the weekend! It won't be the end of the world if you have a cheeseburger and fries. And not only does she talk about diet but she helps you to destress and chill out to help you get through the hard things in life.

If you are trying to get healthy and live a better life style but you just don't know exactly how to get there then this book is for you! I'm currently training for a half marathon and it has given me some great tools to help my training. There is also a whole chapter dedicated on helping you get pregnant. She shows you how to get the healthiest body possible that a baby could grow in. Her ways have actually helped infertile women, in the past, get pregnant by improving the quality of their eggs! It's crazy but I think I believe it. Ladies, you really need to get this book! Start getting healthy and sexy with me!

Christmas Time is Here!

Things have been super busy this Holiday season but we have had such a fun time preparing for Christmas.

Grandma and I baked cookies and candy, I'm constantly listening to Christmas music, We've been to a couple Christmas parties with friends and family, and I was lucky enough to go see the "Christmas Carol" production at Hale Center Theatre with my mom and grandma.

I love decorating for Christmas, so not only did I decorate my house but I also decorated my mom's house and my grandma's.

I love the spirit of Christmas and I am so happy I have had such a good time celebrating Christmas this year! and it's not over yet! Christmas is just the day after tomorrow. :)

Here is our humble Christmas tree. It is 6ft tall and somewhat on the skinny side but we love it and the best thing about it is that it's fake. So there are no pine needles, no disposing of it, and it is totally the "green" thing to do :) I miss the smell of pine though so I got a pine scented candle and now my whole house smells like Christmas!

Belated Thanksgiving

Due to the fact that I still do not have a camera I have been unable to post about the wonderful Thanksgiving I had this year. My father-in-law has pictures of the whole family but we are having a hard time getting them via email.

I was looking through my phone the other day and found that I had 4 pictures from the Thanksgiving weekend. All of them are of me but at least I can document something. :)

Here was my contribution to the feast. I made a praline Pumpkin pie. I thought is was very good and it's probably because it was a Test Kitchen recipe. Test Kitchen will never fail you. FYI the side of the crust that is darker is just some of the filling that spilled out. I promise it isn't burned :)

That morning before we ate I did our lovely tradition of running the Cold Turkey 6K up millcreek canyon. It was fun to workout and hang out with the fam!

The day after Thanksgiving Jake and I left with his Dad and siblings, including Dan's fiancee, Lacey (whom I love!), for Escalante. We were there until Sunday and we had a blast! Jeff took so many amazing photos and I hope that I will get some soon but these are all I had. They are both of me and kinda silly but at least you can tell that we had fun!

Here I am crawling out of a hole and I think the look on my face is pure stupidity! haha

I dedicate this picture to Abbey, who was unable to come with us this year. Last year she laid across this same ledge and did this same pose as I took her picture. We missed you Abbey!
