Operation: Park Bench

I have (I think) an abnormal love for books. I'm always looking for something (uplifting, mind stretching, interesting, motivating, etc., etc.) to read. Personally, I think TV is a waste of time. Since vowing not to waste my time with it nearly three years ago, I have really discovered a new me. I suddenly had time to practice and get more skilled at my music. I suddenly had time to exercise. And, wow, I really learned how to conversate (is that a word?), not just talk about "did you see what was on last night?" I got rather sick of somebody else writing a script for my life so I could wile away the hours mindlessly. I can still recall and quote every episode of Seinfeld and (almost) every episode of The Simpsons. Sad? Yeah, I think so. Which is why Trevor and I don't own a TV and don't plan on it. Occasionally we watch a movie on our laptop.

I've tried to join countless (ok, like five) bookgroups, but it seems like everyone else in the world is on completely opposite schedules than me. Either that, or they don't like me that much so they purposely schedule it so I can't make it (It's a conspiracy!). Leah, my dear sister, has shed some light on this problem of mine. A friend of hers has recently started a website called Operation: Park Bench . It's an online bookgroup. I just joined and I already love it. I've been telling everyone I can about the book I just finished, but now others can read it and discuss it at their own pace. I just read reviews, and added 4+ books to my list already. Put down that remote and get reading. If you're not a reader, then walk, exercise, learn a new skill, play with playdough, learn or invent a new recipe, clean something - whatever strikes your fancy. If there is a show you really do just love and can't do without (for me its 24), then rent the season when it's out on dvd (unless you're like me and your husband refuses to watch it. Then it's a lost cause and I'd rather spend quality time with him, anyway). There's so many better things to do with your time.

Indian Superman Part 2

Award for best choreography goes to.....?

The following

is all from Leah's camera. When I get the professionals back, there will be more. Also, all who took photos should give me their good ones. I'd appreciate it.

The anticipation is killing her!

Look how happy Leah is for me as Trevor and I exit the Temple as husband and wife. This picture cracks me up.

I'm a wife!

My family, in it's entirety. At least for a few months before Leah has her third.

















My girls.

The Niece and nephews

I love this one because olivia and gage are being grumps.


















I love this one because the grumps spread to skyler. And me and trevors faces rock.



















Olivia got happy when she got her pretty dress on.













I like this one because it's more glowy and I look really good. My new nephew is so cute.

Highlights of the Reception

My father and brother, Jason, sporting some nice festive wear.

I love this line of people I love. Check out Trevor's shoes.


















Chris looks like he's enjoying recieving the savory morsel just as much as his son likes giving it to him.

The cake

Created by Leah

Cutting, I mean, spooning of the cake

The bowl of lemon pudding on top was a nice touch and very tasty. Leah pretty much rocks.

And for the grand finale....the car

After such an exciting, but exhausting day, we got to leave in this. Our new '06 Subaru Legacy. I'm actually not happy about it. Naturally, we could expect our car to be decorated, but one can go too far. Take for example the pudding all over the windows instead of window paint. Do you know how hard pudding is to clean off when it's heated up and baked in the sun and then cooled? It basically becomes like glass. Also, the confetti. Confetti was funny in high school in my piece of junk car that had been through three other teenagers. It was an improvement. But a new car? Not cool. Really not cool when it gets into your seatbelt buckle and ruins it. Not cool when it jams in the center shift and makes it hard to shift. Just really not cool. I didn't appreciate it much.

Can you believe I'm getting married this weekend?

We're now in the single digits!

I can't believe I'm getting married next week! Woohoo!

My theme is Lemon/Lime. Here's the cake. Awesome huh?

My new Theme Song

Accompanied by some nice japanimation. Gotta love it.

After a very frustrating talk a couple of days ago, I got in the car and my decidedly new theme song was on. It was perfect. Listen to the words closely.

Wedding Planning = Migraine Headache

I love my Fiance. When I get stressed I get migraines. When I get migraines, I get them for 2-3 days and NO amount of medicine does anything. None. So one started as a slight headache. I slept on it, and the next day was terrible. I tell ya, triplets do not go well with headaches. It quickly turned to migraine status. When I arrived at Trevor's apartment that evening, I was crying because of pain (which only made it more painful) plus I got some nausea and lost a bit of my lunch. I lot a bit of my lunch. My dear massage therapy student massaged my foot first. He's learned reflexology, which means by massaging pressure points on one part of the body, it relaxes another part. So by doing certain points on my feet, he settled my stomach. It was amazing. I was a major skeptic at first, but who can deny a foot massage? And it worked. Next he gave me a cranial massage, and my migraine was gone in ten minutes. Not even if medicine did work, would it work that fast. I was grateful. He sure took care of me and I love him.

Anyway, I started this post with something completely different to say, and instead said that. Now I can't remember what I was going to say. So I'll tell you the two major things of today.

1. I learned today that I got a new nephew last night. Riley Mac(k?) Warner born to Jason and Cindy Warner. 7 pounds 1 ounce. He texted some pics to me. He's so cute and I'll see him soon. I can't wait.

2. Guess what? I won a "Couples Get Away" on the radio station! 3 days 2 nights in Las Vegas at a new hotel/resort on the strip. Something about Tahiti. It has an acre big swimming pool! Awesome huh? We also won 2 tickets to the "Viva Las Vegas Show" and 2 tickets to some comedians show. I don't know if we'll go to that, because I've never heard of him and I don't know how clean or unclean his humor is. We also won $100 in gambling tokens at the Casino Royale. (Which we'll probably just sell to someone for like 80 bucks). Along with a few other things. Isn't that exciting?

It was kinda funny being mormon and winning all of this stuff, because we won't be using like half of it, but still exciting! And it made up for a terrible day/week. Woohoo!
