My Secret Crushes

Bob Harper....can you seriously be any cuter? So I watch Biggest Loser when I'm at the gym. My obsession with Bob started when I wanted to punch Jillian in the face because she's the rudest manly woman I have ever seen. Bob is so tender hearted and truly cares about the well being of his team. I knew he was the one when I saw him cry....Might be gay, but still adorable.

I was a fan the minute I set my eyes on this one. Every week Adam Lambert blows America away with his talent. His voice is amaaaaaaaaaaaaazing and I love how he does his very own rendition of every song he picks. How can someone like this be on the same show as that chick Megan Joy??!?!?!?!?! She can't freaking sing. Get off the show! Also, I don't care if he wears guyliner.......I still heart him :)

So.....I kinda sorta watch VH1's Tough Love. Don't judge me. At first I was a little skeptical, but I like it and I love the host guy Steven Ward. I love how he tells the girls exactly what's up. I may or may not have gotten teary eyed watching this weeks rerun today. Now don't get me wrong...I'm sure this guy is a tool in real life, but he is so nice and sincere on the show! He gives the girls a male perspective and doesn't mess around or lie to them. If only I had of had this guy around while I was in college...hahaha, but seriously.
SIKE!How could I forget my boy Brett Michaels?......Very easily my friends. I can't believe this show is still running. Are you kidding me?!?!?!?!?!?!? RIDICULOUS!

Now even though I love these boys (except for Brett), I can't forget my one true crush.....

It's not so secret :) I will probably get beat for posting this pic...but I mean how could I not?!?!? hahahaha!

Cleaning out the camera

I was going through the camera and found some pics that I thought I would upload....some are from a while ago, and some are more recent..

This was from Tyler's birthday back in February......mmmmmm, crab legs. GROSS, but it was his birthday :)




These next couple of pics are of our home.....Disregard that annoying dot in the middle of some of the pics.....our camera was having issues. We got most of our stuff for free when we were getting married. The only thing I bought was the rug on the floor....$15 at a garage sale...HOLLA!




This is Tyler with my sister Mandy's crazy/cute kids. I love this picture because they are all looking in different directions.....and Tyrone looks stoned....hahahaha.


This is Tyler's sister Tara's little boy Jayden.....He was born with a fohawk! So cute!


So Tyler always laughs at me and says I get hyper after I eat....I don't know what he's talking about! hahaha, also, I have wireless eyes. Don't judge!


This was before church this morning...... We thought we'd test out the timer on the camera. It works!

Update

I just thought I would update our blog since we just got done working out and I have energy! I went to a kickboxing class and dragged Tyler along. He lasted for about 2.5 minutes and then bounced and left me all alone. Thanks babe :) Anyway, the class was intense and I loved it. I'm not gonna lie, I felt a little lanky and out of place but I still kept going. My legs were literally the length of the lady beside me....lol. Anwyay, afterwards I went and sat in the sauna for about twenty. I'm so glad we pushed ourselves to go work out tonight. All I wanted to do after today (aka The Monday from hell) was sit and eat and watch reality tv, but I'm glad we didn't.
We helped my sister Mandy and her family move on Saturday. They are now living around the corner from my sister Kim. We're sad to see them go because we loved living so close to them and already miss their adorable kids :( It was fun to hang with the sibs and to see my mam and Malcolm, even if we were working like slaves moving Mandy's stuff;) We're are all planning a trip to Alamo soon and can't wait. We went to the St. Patricks day shin dig in Hendo on Saturday night with The smallwoods, and some other friends. So Fun! Ieven fot talked into ridingr a ride. It was the scariest thing in my life and Tyler got mad at me for dropping the S bomb a few times....oops.
In other news, I had my first big upper management staff meeting today. I ordered food in, and the stupid caterers lost our order. My first big moment to shine and what do you know....someone dropped the ball. It was cool though, I re-ordered and the food only ended up being about 10 minutes late. All in all, it turned out well and they still love me :)

I have a new best friend.

So, I mentioned in a previous post that Tyler and I have been hitting the gym hardcore. Well, let me tell you I found a new best friend the other day. It's this machine....

So I've always been a runner at the gym, and trust me I still run.....but this little machine is amazing. It's hard, but I can feel results already..... I feel it everywhere. It burns, and if it ain't burnin then it ain't working. The treadmill will always be my numero uno....but the stairmill is coming in close to second. Until next time...

Grateful!

Yesterday morning I received some really sad and shocking news. I woke up early and just had a feeling to check my mail. It was way early in the morning, but I just felt like I needed to check it. I got an email from a friends husband telling me that my friend had passed away. It was such a shock. I felt like I had been literally hit by a bus. I met my friend Tasche Murray when I was up at BYU-Idaho when I was 18. We were both working at Melaleuca. Tasche, Stephanie and I soon began to hang out all the time. Tasche was from Rexburg, so she had all sorts of connections to the town. At that time in my life, I was having a hard time. I was homesick, sick of school and stressed about life. She helped me through that hard time. She would always get me out of the house and would always have something crazy fun to do. She was such a good friend and hilarious as all get out. The three of us would get into all sorts of trouble together. The three of us friends went our seperate ways. I moved back to Vegas, Steph moved home to Maryland and Tasche got engaged and got married in 2003. My mam, Bev and I drove up to her wedding in Idaho. She was a gorgeous bride and her and her husband were so happy! I lost contact with her, but she found me on facebook about 5 months ago. We quickly caught up and she told me they were expecting twin boys in Fed 09. She was so excited that I was engaged and would give me tons of advice and tips for the wedding planning. She gave birth to two gorgeous, healthy boys 3 weeks ago. This made the news of her death even harder. Her husband blessed their twins yesterday and burried his wife today. Even though this sad news is such a shock....I can't help but be grateful for the knowledge that I have. I know that this same knowledge has and will continue to help her family through this trial. I know I'll see her again!

And we're back!

Okay, so here's the deal.....I wanted to make our blog private, but didn't realize that it would completely lock everyone out. I'm new at this, don't judge me. So after many emails and texts...we are back to public..... We will only be public long enough to get everyone's email addresses. So, email us if you want to be on the list. Are we hiding from someone?!?!?!? YEP, and you know who you are so happy blog stalking for only a little while longer you little creeper! We miss all our blog peeps and want you to have an insight into our lives, but just don't want the whole world to know us...lol. So, email us you address and we will update this thing! Happy Blogging!
In updates....well, we haven't been up to much. I took a new job but because I'm nice, kept my other one too. So I work two part time jobs now and am making more than ever....SUCKAS. Haha, jk....but seriously. We love, love, love our new ward. Everyone has been so nice and we have a good bishopric. We spoke last week and we are so glad it's OVER. Tyler is helping some people move in the ward right now and then tonight we are having dinner with some people from the ward.
We have been watching Prison Break on dvd. We watched the whole of season one in a weekend and now we are finishing up season 2. I love, love, love it. I sometimes find myself talking like an ex-con. I live vicariously through these ex-con characters and I'm dang good at it. hahaha, Tyler was over it like two weeks ago, but I am way into it and will be penciling in season 4 when it starts up in April.
Lastly, Tyler and I have been KILLING ourselves at the gym. We run everynight and it feels soooooooooooooooo good. I made him do a spin class with me on Thursday. Tyler was not cool about coming to spin. He said "the only other guys there will be homo's".....but he still came. I hated the instructor, but secretly loved him because he was so hardcore. He was screaming in our faces and with every ounce of sweat I loved him more and more. There were moments when I thought Ty was going to jump off his bike and punch the guy in his face, but he remained calm. haha. He'll probably kill me for going public about him being at a spin class, but whatev! Anyway, life is good :)

Do you want to punch this guy in the face?

Because I do! You should read Trudi's introduction to the last post to get some background on our viewing of American Idol. I've watched more episodes of American Idol this week than I have my entire life up until this point. But anyway, the focus of Trudi's hate so far has been Tatiana while mine has been the man (if that's the right word....) pictured above. Supposedly his name is Nathaniel Marshall. I don't really care if it is or isn't. But he's in idiot. I don't want to make the obvious jokes about the personal attributes he possesses that would cause one to call him a flamer.....even though I could. (And have....) But regardless of that, I can't stand the kid. Drama, drama, drama, tears, tears, tears....STOP IT! I'm sick of this kid thinking that he's the only one that cares about winning or continuing on American Idol. There are others guilty of this too but he stands out because he is so dang annoying in the first place. If you want to smack this guy around, comment and tell us everyone so! Same goes for Tatiana, who, by way, is only being kept for ratings. She's a loud mouth spoiled B who gets lots of attention because she will do anything for it....and that is interesting and makes people want to watch. I guess it's because of a morbid curiosity that people have. We love to watch IDIOTS!! Kind of like how we look at the road kill on the side of the road....I know its sick but we do it! ANYWAY......if any of you reading this ever end up on American Idol....take some advice from a smart man (ME!) and don't pretend you're the only one whose dream it is to win the contest.

Sorry about the long rambling post. That's just a sneak peak of how my mind is....fun huh!?!?
