Twilight

Well the BiG wait for TwiLiGhT is over! Ben really wanted to see it at 12:01 am. We looked in eVeRy theater in Salt Lake county and Provo County, there was NOT a single ticket left! But there were lines and lines of people waiting in line to get a good spot. We were LauGHinG because most of them had their BoOKs in hand and were reading intently. Yeah we wanted to see it, but not that bad. I actually got invited to go and see it with some of my fRieNdS from SeViEr VaLlEy. I had so much FUN. I hadn't seen most of them for 5 months or so. We started the night off with dinner at El Mexicano and then went to the theater. I didn't like the movie much. In fact, not at all. What I had pictured in my head was completely diFFereNt than the movie. I was picturing drop dead GoRgRouS vampires, not mediocre looking vampires. But the company was good.

This is Cassidy and I, her eyes make mine look brown. These are some of my favorite people in this world. Above is Nanda and Cherry. Cherry hates pictures. I tried to tell her it would just be better if she'd pose. She didn't listen, and she looks guilty of something. Sorry Cherry. Next time just smile!

Heres April and Julie, and everyone at El Mexicano.

Hey everyone,

ThAnKs For inviting me I had a Blast. It was good to see everyone.

Our Weekend

We had a pretty fun weekend, and I know I'm posting about it a little late, but I worked the last three nights and couldn't find the time in between shifts.


On Friday night my little sister Miranda came over with Kiley Jensen and we ate pizza, watched a movie and played scene it (Ben and I won Easily)

Then on Saturday we went to Park City for Natalie's birthday. They were staying in one of their friend's, from Austalia, condos. She must be rich because it was very nice, and very expensive!


The Bath Tub which was as deep as a hot tub and almost as big

















The Kitchen which has all kitchen tools you could need. And deep sinks.

This is Natalie, She is about to blow out the candles. She turned 27.












This is Ben and His nephew Gabe, Natalie's baby. Though he isn't looking like a baby very much anymore.

Then on Sunday, Ben got called to be one of the Gospel Doctorine Teachers. He is excited. I'm glad that somebody doesn't mind doing it, because I would be a wreck the whole week before I taught. I would have to say no to that one. I got called to type up announcements for relief society and will also do the spotlights on different women in the ward. I guess that means I get to buy a new printer!

3. Seinfeld- Every day of my life, something happens to me and I think, oh I saw a Seinfeld episode just like this! Like the time I was lost in a parking garage and couldn't find the car, it took my roommate Kelci and I over an hour to find it! No Joke.
4. Malcom in the Middle- Dewy and Reese are the Best
5. Law and Order-SVU

New Decorations!

I Love Christmas! It is my favortie holiday, I start to get excited for it in August. All of the stores up here have their Christmas Decorations out now, and I Love to go look at them. I could spend hours every day looking and love every minute. Last Saturday I hit a pretty good sell at Rod Works, and today my mom and I went to Tai Pan trading. I got some pretty cute stuff.

Ben Picked out the Santa Clause. I think He did a very good job. This is my Christmas Swag. It looks so pretty!

And of Course It ALL sparkles. If you know me well, then you know that if it Sparkles, I'll probably Love it. The Picture of the Snowflake Garland just doesn't do it justice.

Jazz Opening Night

G'day everyone!!!

Well, Last night (thanks to Danielle Meacham) we got to attend the very fist home game for the Utah Jazz of the 2008-09 season! I have bugged Merridee for quite a while now to post the pictures on her blog but she is wrapped in her book Twilight...she has been in the first chapter for ages now so it can't be that great! So I thought I would give this whole blogging thingy a go.

When I was a kid and living in Melbourne, occasionally we would go to a footy match at the MCG, and we would always ride the train, so last night we decided to do the same thing which I felt added to the excitement of going. Also, yesterday morning Merridee went and bought a brand new camera for herself and so she was obviously trigger-happy with it. For example, here is silly picture of me on the train:

The Game it's self was pretty entertaining, they played the Denver Nuggets and won a close game. I was pretty neutral but found myself cheering more for Denver because I have always like Allen Iverson. Our Seats were amazing! We sat right behind where the visiting team runs out and could clearly see the expressions on the players' faces.

The most exciting part of the night was probably the players introductions, but before they did that about 20 US Military came out holding the biggest American flag I have ever seen and then expanded it as Country star Colin Ray sang the Star Spangled Banner.

It was the first night the Jazz had ever had lights out for the player intro's ands they had put in a brand new sound system too but the screaming of the near sold out Energy Solutions Arena overshadowed that!

Deron Williams and Matt Harpring were not playing due to injury and Carmello Anthony was not able to play for the Nuggets, but it was still a good close game!

So, I guess this will just about do it for the one and ONLY installment of a post done by me! Just wanted to say thanks again to Danielle, we had soo much fun!

Trains, Delta and Autumn Leaves

For my Grandma Meacham's 87th brithday, a whole bunch of my family got together over the weekend to go on the Heber Creeper. It was cold and rainy, but overall was beautiful. The leaves were gorgeous, and we had a good time.

Then After the train ride on Saturday, we went to a Deta Goodrem Concert at Keys on Main. I had never really heard of her even though she has a song that plays on the radio all of the time. It is called "In this Life" She was good and we had fun. You will all have to watch for her. She was big in Australia for a while and is now trying to make it in America.

Here are Ben and his brother Josh with her after the concert.



On Monday we went up to Monorvian Park and had Matea take some pictures of us in the autumn leaves before they all fall off. Unfortunately it wasn't a very photogenic day for either of us. But the Leaves were really pretty.
We had a very full weekend, and enjoyed it very much!

Pride and Prejudice

I talked Ben into watching Pride and Prejudice with me today. While he tried real hard to act like he didn't like it at all, I think he secretly enjoyed it just as much as I did.
It was so nice to finally have a day I didn't have to go to work or do homework. I slept in, then got to spend the whole day with Ben. I wish we could have more days just like it.
