Movie Night

I went to the Lewiston $ theater with not just Jessyca this time... Sami and Tyler came too. We went and saw Batman The Dark Knight soo all the hordes of people that have been telling me that I need to go and see this movie can now rest... I have went and seen the movie... It was long... and I was pleasantly surprised at how HOT Christian Bale is .... I had never seen a movie with him in it before! I think that Heath did an AMAZING JOB!!!! I am still a bit sad Aaron made me take his picture off my screen saver... Aaron said we know what happened to him... UNTIL JANUARY WHEN SOMEONE BAPTIZES HIM IN THE TEMPLE YOU KNOW IT IS GOING TO HAPPEN!!!!:) I would do it if I could! anyway this movie was just aiight for me and no offense to you all but I am OK that I waited for the $ theater... Sami fell asleep... and there were some teen girls with some big heads in front of us.... OK so I am downplaying it... I did like the storyline and the twist and all the action. :) My favorite quote was when he said and this coat was NOT CHEAP! you should know you paid for it! :)

holiday

this is Brakin, me and Austin (they are SO CUTE!) above is Kandi and Rogers :)

below is Brackin, Danielle, Austin and Brady Ward :) For Thanksgiving 2008. Some wonderful friends invited me to spend it with them. We had good food, good conversation and good times! Thank you so much for including me in your festivities! I really had a good time:) I will try and put my list of what I am thankful for on here soon!

MAMA MIA!!!!

Last night I took Jessyca to see Mama Mia! at the Lewiston Dollor theater. When I walked in I saw a young guy he said he had been drug to the movie by his wife.. When the show started and all the singing started, I thought wow that woman REALLY REALLY owes her husband :)

One thing I did not get about this movie is that all the older people in it were in their 50's (Colin Firth is 48 but still..) So 20 years ago they were all suppossed to WILD AND CRAZY and YOUNG but 20 years ago they were all in their LATE 30's .... like yeah, so I am suppossed to believe that in your LATE 30's you were wild and crazy and THEN settled down and became succussful wow.... but hey if that is the case I GOT PLENTY OF TIME to settle down and be succussful!!!:) So I got totally caught up in all the singing and dancing and scenary and for a second there forgot the movie was totally immoral!!!!! funny how all that was disguised :)

field trip

I had an event filled day this Saturday. I got up and met my friend Josh Chertkow and his fiance Jessica Roberts. We drove up to Preston,Idaho. I wanted to take their pictures by the Oneida Building BUT it was all fenced off. (note to self, must check out places before I go with someone to take pictures!) There is a cool park right by there and I got some cute pictures of them by a gazebo. We then moved on to the Oneida Narrows. I got some AWESOME PICTURES OF THEM UP THERE!!!! I am so happy we went up there. It seems like every couple in Northern Cache Valley goes to Mack Park in Smithfield and that is PLAYED OUT IMO!!!!!!!!! There are SO MANY PRETTY PLACES around here, yet some people imagination only goes as far as Mack Park.... I don't get it. Someone in my ward even asked why I didn't go there???? wow ANYWAY....

So after I took these beautiful pictures. I went to craft class at my friend Danielle's. This month for my ladder it says "HAVE" then there is a Santa with a mop beard and the board on the bottom says " your self a merry little Christmas" It is so cute! after craft class

I went with my friend Kate to SALT LAKE CITY!!!!!! We went to see the Body Worlds Exhibit http://www.theleonardo.org/bodyworlds/ there is a web site for you to check out regarding it. This exhibit was very awe-inspiring if you view it the right way. It was so scary to see the smokers lung. It looked like ASPHALT! it was just so ...wow! It was neat to see what the things look like inside of you, kind of freaky knowing they are REAL.They had what little babies look like inside you even when you are just barely pregnant. That was hard for me to see, knowing that some woman out there LOST her baby. I mean that was someone's hopes and dreams and LITTLE BABY :( that must have been huge to donate their little babies to science. The full bodies were well full bodies. it is wierd for me to think THEY WERE ALIVE LIKE ME!!!! I wonder if the people were as atheletic as they portrayed them? At the end, their was a gift shop, I got a magnet from The Leo ( the museum's name) and one from the exhibit, which was priced WAY TO HIGH!!!!!! It was 6.99 for just a simple magnet. I said " are you kidding me?" "this is more than you pay for really cool magnets at The Smithsonian"...... I did buy it though.. I mean I have a collection to uphold. I also bought some postcards for my boss and some other people that I have not decieded who to send them too. You could also write a body secret on a piece of paper and they would tape it on the wall I wrote " I WILL TREAT MY BODY AS A SACRED TEMPLE"

They had a board like that on am episode of Cold Case where someone writes they killed someone then later they solve the case and the mom puts on the board my daughter is that hero.... this is a shameless plug for COLD CASE :)

After the exhibit we went to a restaraunt called One World Cafe. The idea they have is great, they want to feed everyone food and you pay whatever you think it is worth. So we go in and they have self-serve water, coffee and tea. you could also pour yourself a glass of milk. We then got some squash soup which consisted of hot yellow water. This soup had no taste to me. The lady that ran it, put EVERYTHING on my plate that they had to offer so I had some green salad, some fruit salad, some pasta roni, some curry, an omelat and some other stuff IDK what it was. Some of the stuff was good... some was aiight. some was just bland. The restaraunt is split into little rooms with tables, all different sorts of tables and chairs. We picked out a table and ate our food. We each paid five dollors for our meal. We put it in a little pink envelope and dropped it in a treasure chest. Here is the link http://www.oneworldeverybodyeats.com/ and Kate thinks the dishwasher is hot too...

We left there and drove onto Layton to go to TARGET!!!! I bought David Cook's CD cause I had been thinking about him ALL DAY!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CP5fBx8JLoQ I also got some darling shoes, some knee socks to wear with boots, and some yummy snacks. I wish Target would come to Cache Valley.It is just wierd to think that you are exotic cause you go to Target. "like check out my cute shoes I GOT THEM AT TARGET!!!!!" like ooooh Target wow you must have went to LAYTON .... wow!" hahahah

We got some frozen custard at a place called Nielsons.

Then we picked up Kathy in Bountiful and headed back here ;)

........ and after my adventerous day I was once again HAPPY TO BE BACK IN LEWISTON UTAH :)

field trip

I have lived in the Cache Valley for a little over two years. In that time I have been able to go to almost every restaraunt in the Cache Valley. (benefits of living in a small valley) Last night I was able to add another notch to my belt and tryed the Indian Oven, my co-worker Cindy and I went there last night and to sum it up YUM! We got there in time for the early bird, we got appetizer (garlic bread called naan) and two entree's I got chicken coconut kurma Cindy got chicken tikka marsala... (these names might be just approximate) both were served with basmati rice. We paid fifty cents extra and got speciality drinks called Lassi's. Cindy got a mango. I got a strawberry. We got some delicious desserts we had rice pudding and something else that was like donut holes in a syrup. All in all WE BOTH LOVED THIS RESTARAUNT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. Our waitress was great she got a great tip from us :) ALL OF THIS STUFF for 20.99!!!!! and the ambiance, is just awesome. This is a definate MUST TRY RESTARUNT :) here is the link for you :)

storytime

I was sitting at my house reading (when I should have been cleaning) on Saturday when my friend Lexie stopped by with her kids Emyrie and Darby. She invited me to a SLEEPOVER at her house that night. I was so happy!!!!! Our friend Brinna and her kids: Ryleigh, Teagen and McKinna came also. We had a yummy Papa Murphy's pizza for dinner turns out Lexie worked there when she was younger. Brinna and I asked if she had any secrets. She told us the dough is a mix and the sauce comes in a bag... so um yeah moving on... Lexie and I sat up this AWESOME TENT. that is MINE!!!!!! I BETTER have SOMEONE to go camping with next spring and summer cause this tent is freaking awesome! we all got in the tent and watched Barbie and the Diamond Castle. Emyrie picked this movie. I felt a bit sad for Teagen. I asked him how he felt is said " I pince chahmin" he also said was an "ahmee guy" cause he was wearing camoflauge PJs. So he seemed all good with it :) Brinna and her kids went home and Darby slept in her room but Emryie, Lexie and I slept in the tent.

............... Emyrie said the next day she could not sleep very well cause I kept on talking, SO BEWARE when you invite me to sleepovers... :)

I JUST WANT TO SAY I AM SO HAPPY THAT LEXIE INCLUDEDE ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YAY!!!!!!!!!!! I mean how lucky am I that I got to spend my Sat. doing that I had SO MUCH FUN!!! I am so happy :)

craft

I got this cute thanksgiving craft idea off this blog http://georganahall.typepad.com/ I HAD TO DO IT!!!!!!!! even though I have NO PLANS really for Thanksgiving.

That is what sucks about living in Utah and being single, I have to WAIT for someone to feel sorry for me and invite me their family get together.....

So I have just decieded to do stuff that I would do if I did have a family I mean why wait? So I bought this vase at DownEast Outfitters it was only 4.40$ and came with the rocks!!!! when I walked in DownEast and saw that vase I was so ecstatic! I then went to Michaels with my friend Katie and we found some cute tags and other scrapbook stuff. I got the sticks off a bush in my front yard then,I wrote what I was thankful for on all my tags and completed this wonderful project which is now sitting on my table at home. My co-worker Shelli made a variation of one too which is now on her kitchen table. I am SO THANKFUL FOR CRAFTS!!!:)

movie

I took Jessyca (my co-workers daughter that has special needs)

to see Journey to the center of the Earth at the Lewiston $ theater on Mon. night. I went in and did not expect much. Because I had heard that this movie was not very good, turns out I really enjoyed it. The dialouge was clean. (only one "bad" word) The story was a good. I liked the characters I don't know what peoples deal with this movie was but I liked it...Jessyca really seemed to like it to. I also made Jessyca buy her own ticket and pick out her own candy and purchase it. big steps for her.

After I got home from the movie I looked up Jules Verne on the internet. I had NO IDEA he was french. maybe I will read this book since I enjoyed the movie.

also regarding the title of this post the center of Lewiston has : a bank, a gas station, a market, a church, a library, a theater, a barber......... and some abandoned or for rent buildings.... farther down in town there is another church and another gas station.... so if you are looking to start a buisness, you better come to LEWISTON,UTAH :)

So this is monumental week for me I actually went and saw TWO movies I also saw The Errand Of Angels at the Lewiston $ theater. I really liked this movie about sister missionaries and even cryed. I thought it was really well done. There were so many expieriences like I had on my mission and it really brought me back to that glorious and sometimes stressful but always wonderous time of my life. I really reccommend this movie.... which also has sub-titles too :)

Movie

Katie and I went to the Logan Art Cinema on Tuesday we saw Man On Wire. It is a movie about a tight rope walker that in 1974 with help from friends set up a tight rope and walked between the World Trade Centers. It had one wierd questionable part that came out of nowhere like um...OK?? and some subtitles cause they speak in French.If you can handle all of that ... then I recommend this movie! I don't know if I recommend going to see it at the Logan Art Cinema. They have no heat.... we just wore our coats and used some extra coats from my car for blankets. I did get cold though....

On another note,earlier in the night we went to Cold Stone and had peanut butter passion ice cream and have decieded we need to make some at home.

We also went by Andersons where Katie got some seeds she is going to mail some to the network that broadcasts Pushing Daisies cause she loves that show and doesnt want it cancelled. If you love that show Katie I am sure would implore you to join in the protest so it wont get cancelled...

crafts

This sat. we had our SUPER SATURDAY! There was some discrepensy of whether we were going to actually have Supe Saturday BUT the Richmond,Utah Stake came through and we got to have one!!!!!! ( some of my friends wards would not let them have it) I would have FREAKED if we did not have it. I love every fall seeing that table set up and picking all the fun crafts to do.

This year my friend's Jake and Paul's girlfriends came with me and assited me with making my crafts. Here is what I made this year

1. a really cool fabric headband- here is a link to the blog of the lady that did the headbands with us :) http://georganahall.typepad.com/ She had plastic headbands and you covered them with fabric. I got some fabric at Hobby Lobby in Logan just in case she did not have cute fabric. She did have REALLY cute fabric, I am still glad I bought my own though. It took me forever to sew my fabric together for my head band. I really need to work on my sewing skills.... hopefully that is something I will accomplish this year. After sewing you hot glued the fabric to the headband.Mine came out SO CUTE! I wore mine to church on Sun. and work on Mon.
2. a tall wooden snowman- so glad I made him, since now I have a scarecrow to sit out there in Sept and Nov, a cat for Oct. and a now a SNOWMAN for Dec. and Jan and hey maybe in Feb! he is going to be standing out there for awhile. At least I hope he will be he is a bit unsteady. I might have to get something to attach him to my porch post. Stephanie (Paul's GF) and Marquie ( Jakes's gf) helped me paint him.
3. a REALLY cute Thanksgiving set, a little wooden set of pilgrims and indians it is so cute, sitting on my shelf
4. a really, really cute Nativity that is sitting on my window sill and needs to get put away....until the day after Thanksgiving
So another Super Saturday has come and gone.
I got home and Paul and his roommates were busy taking wall paper down in my house. They got as much wallpaper as they could down before they had to leave
They also blessed my house so now I am all good that way.....
AND THEY BROKE MY TV!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! they did not tell me this until they were about to leave. Jake said oh yeah we broke your tv they were moving my entertainment center and the TV fell out and they just could not catch it and well it fell and made a sound and now I have a dead TV they said they are looking for one. I don't know if they really are. But well on Sunday night I was REALLY lonely without my best friends the Amazing Race and Cold Case.

storytime

I loved Halloween 2008... well let me say that different I loved my Halloween costume 2008. I had enough money to buy a cool costume. I found one online at a site called costumecraze.com. It is a Maid Marian costume. it has a little hat and I just wore my hair down and wavy. The dress was almost all the way modest. I did have to wear a cream shirt under it, which fit in really well with the costume. I just want to say again. I LOVE THIS COSTUME! it is just so so so pretty! I am still wearing it even though it is 12:30 am! I did not have a Robin Hood. Preston at work asked if he could be my Robin Hood.....Baldo at work asked me why I wore such a large costume and why I didn't I want to wear a mini-skirt....um yeah anyway on both of those comments. So I get to work, there were about 15 people dressed up....I had a good day though sitting around in my PRETTY dress. I gave all my friends caramel apples and some caramel candy.

Tonight I had 10 trick or treaters, 8 of them I asked to come to my house to get candy. Johnny Boy wanted a string cheese instead of an Almond Joy. I then took Sami and Jessyca trick or treating.

We went down Sugar Lane and the dogs on that street were going CRAZY! they were barking up a storm. While trick or treating some of the people seemed so annoyed that we came...like I live in the country I thought I would not have any trick or treaters... yet HERE YOU ARE.... Some didn't even have candy. Some did not even open the door. and Some were overjoyed like HEY WE GOT TRICK OR TREATERS!!!!!! one house had lollipops stuck in a pumpkin to give us, it looked pretty cool. One guy who's whole yard was covered with cigarette's told me I looked "lovely" tons of classy guys hitting on me this Halloween.

So now I am here eating tons of candy and thinking that next year I will be Hermoine Granger and wouldn't it be cool if I had a Ron Weasley:)
