It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas...

and I couldn't be more excited. If only I had time to decorate, shop and prepare for the holidays...

Finally....a little more time for the fun stuff!

Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night. :)

Bite me

So I'm a total Twilight fan. And I don't care what you think about it. I love it. LOVE IT. 

went to the movie at 12:25 last night. Stood in line for an hour and a half. Part of that time being outside. 

So worth it. I loved it. 

Of course the books are way better. 

But I loved the movie too. 

And who came along? Gar! He is the best and was a long for the ride. He even told me this morning "That movie was so good. I've been thinking about it all morning" 

I think he maybe wants to be Edward a little... :) 

Team Edward woot woot.

Yep, I'm that girl. 

wild imagination...?

So it's very late right now but I can't sleep because a little after midnight someone knocked, very loudly on our front door! Gar was out and I just froze. I was up studying and my mind tried to be logical before freaking out so I thought it was probably Gar's friend and wife who live in our complex. I texted him and said he better tell me the truth if it was him or not because I was freaked out. He said it wasn't. 

Instantly freaking out a little. I asked them to look out the window (they're apt faces ours) see if they could see anything, they couldn't. So as horrible as I felt about it, I woke Gar up. He had kind of heard it in his sleep anyway so when I woke him up he was awake pretty quick. We were both totally freaked out. After making sure everything was locked and closed and looking out several windows to see if we could see anything. We decided to try to go to bed. 

He's out now. And I still can't sleep. Just as well I guess, since I have a big test tomorrow I need to study for. But It's hard to concentrate now. 

I keep telling myself it was probably nothing, maybe just a wrong door or something, but my crazy imagination keeps scaring me. We are sleeping with the closet light on because I'm such a scaredy cat. 

I think it might have something to do with the fact that I had a few freaky things happen to me and neighbors in college apts when I lived with roomates and it totally reminded me of that. 

Yes, people, even in little Provo, freaky things happen. 

I just wish I could calm down enough to go to sleep. :(

Boo yeah

Me and Gar are finally figuring this blog business out. And, he is actually starting to take an interest. Wahoo. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for some awesome husband blogging...maybe.

Any ideas on how center our picture at the top?

Quote of the day

Garret: Ok, Shania Twain's husband is a retard. She still looks fabulous!

Me: Did you just say "she still looks fabulous"...?

Garret: embarrassed giggle.

OH boy.

Daaaaang!

This sexy beast cleaned the whole house for me today. It doesn't get much better than that.

I am so in love with him (for more reasons than cleaning the house of course). I still get so giddy everytime I see him. There is no one else I would rather spend time with. I couldn't even get mad today when he stole my last piece of Dove dark chocolate (some of my favoritest kind) and ran away cackling like an evil scientist. All I could do was giggle.

Then he tried to vacuum my feet. Ahhhhhh. He's just the cutest thing ever. I never even imagined marriage could be this amazing!

Grateful

Sometimes, when life is really crazy and you almost don't even have time to breath...

there are those little moments, when something makes you stop for a minute,

just a little one...and you remember to look and see all the countless blessings that surround you,

the tender mercy's you forget to recognize everyday, and your breath catches a little.

I am grateful for these moments...
I am grateful for the life I'm blessed to live.

Another year older and wiser too...?

As of yesterday. I am now the big 2-3. Man that sounds old. It was the best birthday ever. (although I did miss the dance parties a little) hehe. I will have to post pics and a run down of the special day later.

I can't believe I was once a little baby

Oh, every little girls dream to be a firefighter...wait...

FINALLY

I finally figured out how to do change something on this blog and then how to fix what i did. I am so proud of myself. I can never figure this dang thing out. And now I did it. I'm so cool.

Now I need to stop distracting myself from my homework...barf.

i never update. i'm perpetually behind.

I am bad at blogging. I am way behind. I felt like trying to be a better blogger. Here are some fun Stembridge family photos from the end of summer. They are just taken from the samples so they aren't the final product. Also I look like a whale in most of them. but they're fun and my fam is hot. :) Sorry there are a million...no wait, I'm not sorry, this is one rad fam that needs to be shared with the world.


Having fun with Gpa O he found some old bones. Check out Wade he is actually biting it. Sick. He is going to get a disease.
Look at that hott girl! Hayley is one sassy girl and we heart her. Don't even think about it boys she is only 17!
And her gorgeous twin Heather. She's the sweetie pie. We adore her.
