one hundred pushups

This is kind of random but my friend told me about this so I checked it out and I think I am going to do it. If anyone knows my dad, he usually challenges the kids to a pushup challenge about every get-together. He does them every morning and he always wins. Maybe this way I can actually compete. plus pushups are such a little thing to do that make a difference. plus they are free! Go to hundredpushups.com to get the whole program!

my long lost love

is back...I feel like I have been reunited with an old friend. I love it despite the polar bears and black smoke monsters and time travel. There's a great recap here, where you can also watch the episodes. I have a good feeling about season 5. On a similar note I'm going to see this gal tomorow who is also an old friend but not so lost. She is such a sweetheart and always brings a little fun and friendship to my life.

Smith's Royale

this has been somewhat a point of contention in our marraige. the battle between skim and 1%. I I have to confess that I love skim milk and Parker pretty much hates it....BUT parker's mom found this milk at smiths. It's not just normal smiths skim but Smith's Royale and they don't always have it but it is the perfect compromise. It is skim but a skim that Parker actually likes. isn't compromise great? actually parker is great for drinking skim milk.

Bringing in the New Year!

We spent New Years Eve up at the Bennion's cabin with these great people. We had a great time.gotta love self timer...

On New Years Day we drove up to Jackson Hole with the Mayfields. We ate at Merry Piglets, saw Valkyrie, walked around down town, went snow shoeing, sledding, and of course watched the Utes game! It was a great time to spend time together and hang with jon and errin who we don't get to see very often anymore! Anyways the holidays were great and I am excited to get settled back into real life and school and new years resolutions. I love making resolutions... there is something refreshing and exciting about writing them down and making a plan for accomplishing. So many ways to grow and become better! Good luck to everyone and their goals for 2009!

Happy 1 Year to us!

the sunset for us of course...

Dinner Here...Dessert at home... delicious wedding cake... spoiled kate... He got me flowers like the ones from our wedding...made me a calendar with pictures from the year... and inside the calendar on the month of April was WICKED tickets!!! What a sweetie pie. Completely suprised me again. I have been saying I want to go for months but when I saw the prices, I said nevermind! Luckily Parker got a good deal and we are going in April. Besides the fact that Parker gives great gifts, he is a great husband. I am really the luckiest girl to have him as my husband. This has been the best year of my life because I have spent every day with him! I can't beleive that we have been married a year. I have learned a lot this year about myself and parker and it has gone by so fast. I hope to make our 2nd year of marriage even better.

Christmas with the Davidson's

We had such a great christmas with Parker's family. I think my favorite part was the talent show where I got parker to sing "Hark the Herald.." while i played the violin. I loved it! I wish everyone could have heard it...priceless. We missed the family movie on Christmas Eve because of traffic but met up with everyone for Olive Garden and Temple Square. Parker completely suprised me with this little beauty!! It was the only thing I really asked for but he acted like he wasn't getting it for various reasons and he actually wrapped a different size/weight present and put it under the tree to fool me even more. On Christmas morning he ran to the other room and brought this out! I love it so much! I have already started making some pillow cases for our bed. If anyone has a good sewing pattern or link for any project... I want to do lots with this sewing machine. I already have a list of projects but I want more.

pre-christmas in St. George

Since we spent Christmas in South Jordan with Parker's family, we went down the weekend before Christmas to see my family. It just doesn't feel like Christmas until I see my family, my house decorated, and St. George. My favorite thing we got from my parents were these sleeping bags that I am so excited to use as soon as it gets a little warmer! I love St. George. There was snow on the ground when we got there...but not for too long! I love spending time with my family.
