Day 30 – A photograph of yourself today + three good things that have happened in the past.

Trust me, you don't want to see what I look like today. I woke up achy, with a runny nose, sore throat, basically just sick all over. Maybe I'll post a picture the next time I take time to actually get ready for the day. So onto 3 good things that have happened in the past, which by the way is a very broad topic.

1) Kevin (and everything and every experience that would fall under this category).

2) The invention of modern medicine (mostly DayQuil). Seriously has made today bearable. 

3) My co-worker being willing to stay and cover my shift tonight even though that means he works 10 hours on New Year's Eve and doesn't get to leave until after midnight. Thanks a million!

Day 30 now complete (except for the picture from today)!! Which means I probably won't be nearly as consistent at blogging from now on.

Day 29 – Something you could never get tired of doing.

Pretty much any sort of game like sudoku (a new found love) or crossword puzzles (but only ones that don't really make me think too hard like the ones in People magazine).

Day 28 – Your favorite movie.

Hands down, best movie ever :)

Day 27 – A picture of you last year and now and how have you changed since then?

Last February is close enough to a year since it's the end of December.

Let's see...how have I changed? Well my hair is now a lot shorter, we no longer own the blue car behind us. We traded it in for a Chevy Malibu instead. I've been married over a year, finished another year of school, closer to graduating, etc. Not a whole lot more has changed though. I know, very exciting life.

Day 26 – A photo of somewhere you’ve been to.

I love Disney World. I went there my Junior year in High School. Hopefully our plans to go back there this summer will still happen. Fingers crossed :)

Day 25 – What’s in your purse?

I usually don't have anything in my purse, but when I do it's usually only when I go to church. Then so called purse would contain scriptures, maybe some lip gloss/chap stick, cell phone, sometimes a check book (because we always forget to pay tithing), and that's pretty much it. Exciting, I know.

Day 24 – A photo of something that means a lot to you.

Instead of putting picture of family members on every one of these types of posts, (something that makes me happy/something that's important to me, etc.) I am picking other things that mean a lot.

Food means a lot because it keeps me alive :)

Day 23 – 15 facts about you.

1)I laugh at pretty much anything.

2) I'm super random.

3) I'm also super loud.

4) I'm not creative what-so-ever.

5) I like attention, but I'll act like I don't.

6) I hate being tickled.

7) I always talk with my hands.

8) I like cute shoes but rarely will wear them.

9) I don't have a favorite color.

10) I can't roll my R's no matter how hard I try.

11) Finding Nemo is my favorite movie.

12) I've ridden an elephant.

13) I have over 30 stuffed animals from when I was growing up.

14) I think I will be sick for church tomorrow.

15) This was the hardest blog I've ever written.

Day 22 – A letter to someone who has hurt you recently.

Um...I'm pretty sure that's not the best thing to put out into cyberworld, so I'm gonna pass on that one. Sorry if you were looking for a juicy post...

Day 21 – A photo of something that makes you happy.

So a little late but better late than never.

Christmas, chocolate, and puppies :)

Just some random person's Christmas tree from Google.

Mint m&m's :)

So precious!

Day 20 – The meaning behind your blog name.

Kevin and I both love Fruit Smiles (the original kind-not the tropical). We seriously get a new box every time we go to wal-mart. Anyway, play on words from Forrest Gump resulted in "Life is like a Box of Fruit Smiles :)" 

Hence the name. And there you have it.

Day 19 – Another picture of yourself.

This was when we had first moved into our apartment and I was showing my old roommates our new toaster oven. Jill (like always) took a picture. I just think it's a funny picture :)

This toaster oven has definitely been put to good use for corn dogs, pizza bites, toast, bagels, and pretty much any other food item that can be toasted quickly. We love it!

P.S. I realized I wear that yellow shirt A LOT!! But I just love it so much!

Day 18 – Something you crave a lot.

Since I'll eat almost anything, I don't really crave much. I always like fruit smiles/gushers/ any other fruit snack so I guess that could be something I crave. Recently I've been wanting homemade meals from my mom when we get home on Thursday...wink wink nudge nudge mama :)

Day 17 – A photo of you and your family.

Sorry there was no post yesterday...I worked for 14 hours instead. Splendid way to spend the day.

Since Kevin is pretty much my family now (and I don't really have any pictures of the both of us with either my side of the family or his side of the family) you just get another picture of the two of us :)

This was when we first started dating almost 2 years ago.

Day 16 – Your celebrity crush

Ryan Reynolds...yes PLEASE!!!

Beautiful, Gorgeous, Hot,etc. (see above pictures)

 Hilarious (see "The Proposal")

And it doesn't hurt his case that he's newly single ;) even though I'm not haha

All around great.

Day 15 – Something you don’t leave the house without.

Usually I remember my phone and don't leave without it. There's not really any item that I never leave without (besides clothes of course) mostly because I'm so forgetful but I would say my phone is the one item that I do remember most often.

Day 14 – A TV show you’re currently addicted to.

Let's see...Keeping up with the Kardashians (when it's new-I just love how dysfunctional their family is), 16 and pregnant (or Teen Mom), or Criminal Minds (on Netflix). Take your pick. I know, quality shows, right? So judge me :)

I'm sure there will be more to become addicted to now that school is over for 3 weeks. Or maybe I'll just use those 3 weeks to get caught up on those shows since I'll have time. We'll see.

            

Day 13 – Your favorite musician and why?

Um... I don't really have one. Pretty much anything that's not screamo or crappy sounding rap I can handle. Those two are pretty much just a waste of sound. That's all.

Day 12 – A photograph of the town you live in.

Leesa's Work Party

This is what we got for White Elephant gifts at Leesa's Work Party.

Day 11 – What’s in your makeup bag?

Let's see...my pink square hairbrush, sometimes my deoderant (unless it's on the bathroom counter), toothpaste (again only sometimes), triple antibiotic ointment (not quite sure why that's there), floss (I need to be better at using that), hair clip, multiple shades of eye shadow and applicators, eyeliner (which I need to replace because it's pretty much all used up), concealer, a penny (no idea why), foundation, blush brush (which I use for eye shadow more often than blush since I don't own any), mascara, my retainer and case, a random earring, a paper clip, and plastic gloves to put on my hands for when I shower because I got quite a deep cut on my thumb at work and I'm not supposed to take off the bandages for a few days.
But the most important thing I found in my make up bag was a clue that I definitely need to clean it out. There was lots of stuff that should not find a home in a make up bag. Maybe that can go on the to-do list for tomorrow. Maybe...

Day 10 – A photo of your favorite place to eat

That's a tough one. Mostly because I really enjoy eating and will pretty much eat anything.

I'm so lame that I googled "list of restaurants" haha so ridiculous that I couldn't pick my own favorite without help from google. I really like Claim Jumper-if you haven't tried it you HAVE to! They serve the biggest portions of food ever. But the best food I've ever had that I can remember is this little hole-in-the-wall pizza place in Anaheim called Luis Pizza, Subs, and Salads. We have this thing where anytime we're in a new state that we haven't visited together before, we have to find a pizza place to eat at. So glad we found this one. Anytime we go to Disneyland again, this will for sure be on our list of events. However, there is no picture anywhere on the internet, only a virtual tour which makes it look a lot nicer than it really is. But no joke, the best pizza ever.

Anyway, if you want to see a picture go here.

Day 9 – A photo of the item you last purchased

Tonight I purchased...

Wait for it...


Wait for it...

Silly Putty and a New and Improved SnoFling!!!

Basically a snowball thrower. The description is "Make safer snowballs faster. Throw them further. Keep your hands warm and dry. Use as a distress or signal horn". The horn part is crap-I tried it and it doesn't work. Ok nevermind I tried it again just now and it definitely works. Probably not the best thing to find out at 12:45 in the morning. Oh well!

I also bought bananas during the same purchase, but that's just not interesting. The silly putty and the snoball maker are white elephant gift for my work party tomorrow. And the bananas are to dip in a chocolate fountain at said party. I'm pretty excited about it.

Since I can't find our camera chord to plug into my computer and the camera only has an XD card which stupidly doesn't fit in pretty much any computer ever made, the pictures will have to come later.

Day 8 – A song to match your mood.

So I got a little behind, so I'm playing catch up tonight :)

I couldn't really find a song to match my mood, so I just picked one that I like.

We went to the forgotten carol the other week and I really liked this song. So beautiful. I'm not sure why it starts with "Last Christmas I gave you my Heart", but 0:27 the real song starts, so either wait for it to get to that point or just skip ahead. It's told from the perspective of the character of Sarah.

Day 7 – Your dream wedding

I'd like to think the one I had was pretty great. The only thing I would change however would be to have my Grandma there for the sealing as well. She could only make it to the reception, which was great in and of itself. But other than that, it was a great day filled with love, family, and memories. Not to mention the start of forever with the love of my life :)

No turning back now!

Right as we came out of the temple.

This is a cute picture of him :)

And I just really like this one.

Day 6 – A photo of an animal you’d love to keep as a pet

I don't know why we were looking at pets for adoption one day, but we found the most precious puppy named Goldie. Seriously the cutest thing I've ever seen. Anyway in trying to find a picture of her again for this blog, I couldn't find her which means she was adopted by someone else. Yay for Goldie, boo for me :(

Anyway, since the original Goldie belongs to someone else now, I found another picture of a Golden Retriever similar to the one I want. Even though we won't have a dog (especially one that big) until Kevin builds me a nice, big house, he's already given in to the fact that we'll have one. This is what our puppy will look like eventually.

Her name will be Goldie and I will love her :)

P.S. Don't you just LOVE her smile?!?! I sure do!

Day 5 – A photo of yourself two years ago

This is my roommate, Natasha, and I at the end of the Fall 2008 semester. I'm not sure quite sure how long it had been since we had shaved, but we both needed to before going to a dance so we decided to time manage and just get it done at the same time.

Day 4 – Your favorite photograph of your best friend

I have a few so I decided to share them all :)

He made the best face ever haha

In this one, he is trying to hula hoop in Toys-R-Us. Trying is the key word. It was pretty entertaining.

This is from his 22nd birthday. The balloon said "Happy Birthday Princess" and he was a little too excited about it :) I got the balloon at the dollar store and just had to buy it.

So glad he's my best friend.

Day 3 – Your idea of the perfect first date

Ok so this may seem lame, but the first date that Kevin and I went on probably was the best one I had ever been on. He didn't even actually ask me, either. His best friend who dated my roommate actually mentioned something about a double date before Kevin had ever said anything. So I text him and said something to the effect of "what if I have plans on Tuesday because I didn't know I was going on a date?" He responded back with "do you? oh well". And that was pretty much the way he asked. I like to think he was just nervous ;) haha yeah, right. Anyway, I got to ride down to Idaho Falls with Tanae (my roommate), and Steve (Kevin's best friend) to meet Kevin at Red Robin (yum) and he drove up from Blackfoot because he was off track that semester. Luckily the ride down wasn't too awkward because I was definitely the third wheel.

Dinner was so good, the boys made fun of us because we were both too young to eat at the bar so we HAD to sit at a regular table. Poor them. (I have since asked Kevin multiple times if we can eat at the bar and he never says yes).

Then we went and walked around Toys-R-Us and played with all the random stuff that's there. Kevin and I actually did that again just the other week. It was just as much fun as the first time we did.

This is when we went bowling :)

Then we went skittle bowling. If you don't know what that is it's where you come up with certain ways of bowling (laying down on your stomach, wheel barrow style with your partner, hopping on one foot, spinning around 3 times before releasing the ball, etc.) and you assign each one to a specific color of skittle. Whichever color skittle you pull our of the box, you have to perform that task while you bowl. So much fun. Especially if you have the right people. While bowling, he put his arm around me, I got butterflies and it was the best :)
Then we just sat in his car and talked for over an hour until we had to go our separate ways. I always hated that.
We saw each other twice the next week, went to Utah for conference the next weekend where he kissed me for the first time :)  The next weekend we said I love you (well he said it, I said me too haha) At least I didn't just say thanks. A week after that we decided we wanted to get married, and 2 weeks after that, he surprised my by flying out to Washington and proposing, and 4 months later we were married :)
So that great first date led to the typical Mormon relationship, but it was the best relationship and I wouldn't have it any other way :)

Day 2-A photo of something you ate today.

That's kind of ironic because if I've already eaten it today, why would anyone want to see a picture? A better challenge would be "a picture of something I didn't eat today". 

My goodness, what DIDN"T I eat today?!? I ate a ton of junk food and chips to keep me awake all night. I stayed awake to make sure that Kevin stayed awake and finished his paper (which he did).

Anyway, back to food. I am too lazy to find the camera so you get a google image-not that I would be able to find a semi clean area in my apartment to take the picture at anyway. I seriously cannot wait for school to be done so I can actually have some time to clean my home and not feel like such a slob. 

Ok, again, back to food! In food science today we did our final projects where we had to make up an experiment and perform it. At least 1/3 of the class decided to do some sort of experiment on chocolate chip cookies in one way or another, myself included. So I've eaten quite a few cookies today and I am currently enjoying my mom's recipe of chocolate chip cookies. And now I want milk...and I don't even like milk. It truly is a wonder how I've never broken a bone in my life when you think about how little amount of milk I have consumed in my lifetime. Wow, when I am tired I ramble!

So this was the reason behind this whole random post. A cookie. I ate a lot of cookies today. The End.

So day 1...A photo of yourself and a description of how your day was.
Since I realized i have less than 4 pictures of myself, none of which are recently taken, here's a really awkward picture of me at the Jelly Belly Factory when we were in California in August.

Today was pretty good. It started at about 7:25 when my back up alarm went off for Kevin to wake up (I set one for some mornings in case he doesn't wake up when his. I hadn't set one in at least a week, but I did last night and it was a good thing because he needed it. Especially since we've been up to at least 2 AM the past few nights working on final projects, papers, etc. He's got a 15 page research paper due tomorrow that he's been trying to get done. Anyway, I went back to sleep for about an hour while he was at class. Then I got up for good at about 9:20ish or so. Talked to my mom, called the doctor, then went to work from 12-8. Work was good and I made good tips :) Well, good compared to usual. I'm glad I like my job (most days) and they like me. It's nice to know I have somewhat of job security in this college town where dozens of new people are hired every new semester and overturn is so high. Anyway, I got home around 8 and Kevin went to take a Calculus test. Then he'll come back and stay up probably all night finishing his paper and I'll be up late probably as well, hopefully not too late though. So here's to late night #3 this week. Cheers!
