6 Months!

So for our 6 month anniversary we decided to eat our cake!! We didn't want to eat it on our year anniversary because we knew that it would be disgusting! And after 6 months the cake still wasn't all that great, actuall the cake itself was good but the frosting was kinda gross!!

Tyson's first few bites!! He ate his whole piece but I could only eat a bite of mine!! I'm glad we didn't wait a year!

Notice there aren't any pictures of me!! Because I was taking the pictures! and I was in my PJ's so I didn't want pictures of me!

Lake Powell!

Last week I went to Lake Powell with my family! (unfortunately Tyson wasn't able to come) We had a total blast!! My cousin owns a boating business called Invert Sports, he has 6 boats, wave runners, and all the equipment you need to have fun. He and his wife took their vacation with us and Jason spent some time teaching us how to wake board, wake surf, air chair, and we did some tubing!



Lance was brave enough to try and wake board! He is a lot braver then I ever was at 6 years old, and I loved the water! He was able to get up on the board but then he would get worried the water was going to get up his nose so he would let go of the rope and plug his nose!


Wake surfing was a lot of fun but I wasn't very good at it because it hurt my ankle that I broke 3 years ago. Jason is amazing at most everything, I guess he should be because that's what he does all summer long! With the wake surfing you can actually let go of the rope and stay right behind the boat and its actually like your
surfing!
I think that the air chair was the coolest thing to watch, I would never do it because I think I would end up getting hurt, but Jason was getting pretty good at it by the end of the week, he could actually get the fin out of the water and jump the wake, I'm pretty sure by next year he will know how to do back flips!

We also did some knee boarding which was really hard but I think I liked that the most! We had a lot of fun and I can't wait to go again next year, I just hope that Tyson will be able to go! By the end of the trip I was actually kinda moody because I hadn't been able to see him for so long!

Jason jumping the wake,
and doing a back flip over the wake!


The first day we were there it rained on us, we were stuck on the boat in a middle of a rainstorm, it was so scary because lighting was striking so close, Jason and Stephanie (his wife) got struck by the static electricity that ran through the heater of the boat! My mom and friend Haley were stuck on the wave runners, the two people who should have been in the boat because my mom hates water and Haley hates thunderstorms!!

Grateful!

I've just finished reading The Other Boleyn Girl, it's a good book and based on true events, told from the point of view of Mary Boleyn. Mary was forced to do a lot of things that she did not want to do, because back then you couldn't disobey your family, she was married at 13, taken from her husband at 14 and made King Henry's mistress, after a few years of that she was replaced by her rival sister Anne and was able to go back to her husband. Mary had conceived twice and had a daughter and a son, both belonging to the King, she was just starting to fall in love with her husband when he got the plague and died, she was forced to go back to the court and help her sister rise to the power of the queen, she was forced to betray Queen Katharine whom she loved and then had to step aside as her sister forcefully adopted her son and then became queen. It is a good book but it has a lot of sexual content in it, I didn't realize that it was an actual true story till the end of the book, it's basically about 'The Great Rise and Fall of Anne Boleyn' told from Mary's point of view! It made me realize how lucky I am to have a family who respects me, who wouldn't force me to do anything, and most of all to have a husband that i could marry because i love him, I'm grateful that he loves me and respects all of my decisions and he never disrespects me in any way! I'm so happy that woman actually have choices in this time of life and that we noticed as equal to the men!

I Got an Eagle...in Golf!!

So Tyson and I bought a Wii like a week ago, and it has been the most entertainment we have had in a long time!! Plus it gives you quite a work out! We were playing golf and I got an Eagle!! Tyson wasn't to happy about that, but I have to admit I haven't been doing very well since I got that eagle, maybe it's because Tyson doesn't like it when I win him at something, so he has gotten better!! We have spent more money on it then we probably should but it's tons of fun and it gives us something to do together for hours at a time!!

Yes, I'm a Nerd!!

Today is the day that we have been waiting for (we as in Brandie and I), waiting for like a year I might add! We are going to the Breaking Dawn party at Borders tonight around 8, where we will surely take part in the great debate: Edward VS Jacob! I am an Edward fan, and my personal opinion on the matter is this: If Bella chooses Edward BUT stays human
the book is ruined, if Bella chooses Jacob the book is definitely ruined, so basically the only thing that can happen is...Bella choosing Edward AND becoming a Vampire. I compare it to Harry Potter, if JK Rowling would have killed off Harry, Ron or Hermione she would lose all her fans, so if Stephanie Meyer chooses not to make Bella a Vampire or to be with Edward she will lose a lot of fans, and if this does happen I don't think I will continue to read The Host series!! I am very passionate about this if you haven't already figured out!!

I have also decided I'm not really that big of a fan of the Twilight series anymore, I started reading a series all The House of Night series (the first book is called Marked), which is also about Vampyre's (that's how they spell it in the book!) granted its not by an LDS author so there is some swearing in it that i don't appreciate and some other things but all in all I've decided it is definitely better the the Twilight series which is hard to believe I know but I've made my decision and I'm stickin to it!!
