New!

Zach and I have been looking for a new couch, basically, since we got married. There was only one problem we faced... every couch we looked at ended up being too big to get into our basement apartment. There's not very much room to maneuver so I thought we should look into getting a sectional because they typically come in sections, hence "sectional". I also had my heart set on getting a slip covered one because you can always clean it, the material looks nice and if you get bored with one color, you can purchase another to shake things up a bit. Well, we finally found one and here it is! We love our new couch, except for the fact that it has a distinct warehouse smell still. Hopefully time will dilute it. All it needs now is a few fun pillows!

This little beauty will be mine in roughly five hours! The big question is, should I get black, or white? Thank you Steve Jobs for making this world a better place...

Bent Objects

The best part of my work day has to be when I receive emails, like the following, from fellow coworkers. This is entitled "Bent Objects" and clearly some people have a little too much time on their hands...  



An Amazing Infomercial...

Tonight we were watching TV and came across an awesome infomercial. We especially love how they imitate someone washing their feet with a washcloth... so realistic! After this repeated a few times on TV it really started to look appealing...We're thinking his and her "EasyFeet" would be nice!

Happy Birthday!

Yesterday was my 24th Birthday and for the most part it was like any other day, mostly because I had to work until five and then my husband had a final until nine. However, there were a few sweet surprises at work. One good thing about working with a best friend is that you get to see each other everyday, but the downfall is when she decides to plaster your life all over your desk to commemorate a special occasion, like a birthday...Thank you Kimber! The best part was getting a dozen roses from my adorable husband because we weren't able to be together until later. They were beautiful!

Holidays, Birthdays, oh.... and Rivalries

Tis the season... for birthdays! We have one birthday October 3rd, two birthdays October 30th, one November 5th and 22nd, Zach's birthday November 28th, my birthday December 14th, another on the 19th of December and one January 4th. Not to mention holidays like, Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's. Don't get me wrong, I love this season, but it gets a little exhausting! Obviously we have other family member's birthdays, but these 9 happen to be one right after another. This past weekend we had the pleasure of celebrating Zach's birthday! Unfortunately, it was a Sunday birthday which makes for an uneventful day, plus hitting the ripe age of 24 for Zach was equivalent to some people hitting the age of 50. Luckily, we were able to enjoy all the events this weekend brought. We went to a few movies and out for dinner, he had his first Richfield experience (that's where my mother is from) and of course, the pinnacle of the weekend...the game!

I like to consider myself just another "classless" Ute, but isn't that already implied simply by saying I'm a Utah fan. Anyway, let's chat about that game shall we... One thing is for sure, Saturday's rivalry game lived up to the usual hype. But I must admit neither team had their best performance. I should probably address what every Cougar fan will be talking about for the next year: "the turnover" and I fully agree, after the replays I watched, his knee was down. But I'd like everyone (Cougar) to take a lesson from a truly classy coach from Boise State: "One play can win a game, but one play cannot lose a game," BSU Coach Chris Petersen said. "We had a chance to win. When you play two evenly matched teams, it usually comes down to a few plays." BYU had the chance to win with that field goal, but it was blocked and Utah won. It's about time Utah wins on a last second play! Go Utes!!!
