Amazon.

I have found the secret- or not so secret- amazingness of amazon.com today! I got mine and levi's books for the price of what mine were at the bookstore. ohh the joy of saving several hundred dollars on books i'm only going to use for 4 months! wahoo!

Oh Goodness.

It has begun. We all know I have an addiction to shopping. Now having a legit excuse, I have bought my first baby clothes! =) And I love them.

Exhibit A:

Exhibit B: I ♥ ♥ ♥ this one! =)

Names.

So naturally, I have begun to think more seriously about baby names.... and since I have been looking at the Chinese calendar, I have realized that according to this, I have a 93% chance our baby's going to be a boy. Which is a little sad, considering everyone I know right now is having a boy, but I'm just going to plan on it so that if I do have a girl, I'll be really really really excited.

Anyways, my top baby names:

BOY
1. Jackson (love, love, love!)
2. Pierson
3. Carson
4. Isaac
5. Ethan

GIRL
1. Chloe
2. Olivia
3. Carly
4. Gabrielle
5. Riley

for both of my lists, I tend to run with "n" names for boys and "y/e" names for girls. Apparently I'm not that original but that's ok. I still love them all. =) Comments?

Dinner and a Show.

Well last night, we went to Showtime Utah, which was really entertaining. It was a little different than we thought it was going to be, but it was still fun. The band that played was called Dyer Highway and was made up of these siblings, ages 16, 13,12. They were amazing! I've never seen someone play the violin as well as the 13 yr old did. It was very impressive. Anyways, here are some pics
This is the "deputy" we asked to take our picture, but wanted us to remember him forever. I told him I'd put this on my blog, so here he is.


Us at our table.





Everytime we go to a dinner theatre, without fail, Levi gets called up to do something. This is him can-caning because he stole alcohol, which is also prohibited in the town lol


This is the bottle of Budweiser Levi stole. The glass next to it is an 8 oz glass. He's a heavy drinker, what can I say?




This is my playing the "bone" with the band.It literally was a honking bone, and my job was to keep time on the bucket. Good thing I know how to do that. Miss Ruby (the woman to the right) told me that "my cute husband wants to take a picture of me" (in her southern drawl) and instead of looking like I'm laughing, I just look like I'm having a really really really good time lol


All in all, it was a successful anniversary evening for us, here's to 100 more!

Yes.

So something big happened yesterday. I peed on a stick, and it said YES+. I actually did it twice just to make sure I wasn't dreaming. But it's still true. On our year anniversary, we found out we are going to be parents in about 8 months.

Holy cow.

Temptation.

So, as we all can tell from this blog, I have an addiction to shopping, which my husband quietly does not approve of. So while he was gone camping all last week, I bought these adorable sandals from steve madden to wear at Tashina's wedding in a couple weeks. They were on sale for $30.00 and I got free shipping. Score for Melissa!!!

Anyways, today I got this coupon for 25% off plus free shipping for the rest of the month as many times as I want! Now my husband is going to kill me if I buy another pair, since we have expenses like our anniversary, my birthday and driving to Canada coming out of our budget soon. Soo, I'm trying to rise above the coupon temptation. But I now know what people who have addictions feel like... Just one more won't kill me.... I seriously need to work on this! I am going to cut myself off for a while, at least until I go to Canada because the exchange rate allows me to buy things cheaper up there than down here =)

But if anyone wants to buy some fabulous shoes and get 25% off let me know =) I think you will be able to use it too since it's just a promo code but I'm not 100% sure. Worth a try though right?

Anniversary.

So, according to the calendar, we will have been married one year on Saturday!! It's hard to believe it's been that long. Last year at this time, I was in San Francisco with my best friends partying it up as the last time of my single life. However, I think I remember I just really wanted to see Levi and couldn't care less whether or not I was in San Fran, but it's a good memory now. =) Anyways, for our anniversary, we are going to a dinner theatre and it's going to be fabulous. It's in Pleasant Grove and some western place. It should be really fun, I'm excited to go to it. It's surprisingly not expensive, well it's like $50.00 for both of us, but for dinner and a show? That's pretty average lol Here's a picture of the cast:

It looks like it's going to be really fun.

So for our anniversary, my parents decided that they were going to give us some money, strictly for buying camping stuff! Funny thing about this is that we actually were just talking about how we wanted to go camping but it was too expensive for us to buy all of the equipment to go. Well, it looks like I have no excuse to not go now. Levi is pretty excited to go, I really wanted to go before we go up to Canada, but our weekends are a little crazy so that's not going to work. But sometime in September before it gets cold, we are going! I have found several things that I am going to buy to make my camping experience more pleasurable.

#1 notice the thickness of it. =)

#2 this is a "king size" sleeping bag. yesss....

#3 These will help me trek through the wilderness. I can also kick some serious trash if a bear attacks us. These babies protect ya from anything! Also, I can blend in with my surroundings, notice the camoflauge. Wahbam!
