randoms

So I am now a full-time employee at the University Credit Union. Today was my first full-time day, and it was long, but the paycheck is definitely going to be worth it.

I may have just bought these.

One can never have too many pairs of Toms.

Yesterday was the best day off ever. The weather was perfect, I spent the whole day with C, sat and cuddled in the sun, and just enjoyed a great Memorial Day. And remembered those I love who have passed on. One in particular was very much on my mind yesterday. Can't believe it's been eight years. *cds*

C and I swam in my pool today for the first time this year. I love having a pool at my house.

This turned into a terribly random post about a lot of different things. All-in-all, life is grand.

we were there

We were there when the Jazz beat the Oklahoma City Thunder 97-90.
When Jamaal Tinsley dribbled through someone's legs and made a basket.
When Kevin Durant went 6-of-22 shooting.
When Gordon Hayward shot, and made, many 3-pointers, and played some great defense.
Devin Harris did all that too.
What a team.
We watched it happen.
And it was awesome! I love the Jazz, and I'm so glad C loved my Valentine's Day gift to him (even though he couldn't use it until today, pretty sure it was totally worth it).

(Sorry for the horrible picture quality. Neither of us brought our cameras (too heavy) so we had to resort to using our phones.)

V-day

I'm so lucky.

I just loved Valentine's Day.

Time with C,

Sushi (at Takashi, of course),

Moneyball,

Flowers.

Sure do love him.

Thought I would share these gems.

 I know, I make really funny faces when I cheer on my Utes—I become a crazy-head.

I just love them too much to look like a normal person.

Thought you'd get a laugh from these great photos from the snowy Utah vs UCLA game last Saturday.

blackout games are fun

I am pleased to say that my Utes won yesterday! 27-8 against Oregon State!

I am also pleased to say that I have been in attendance at all the blackout games since their beginning in 2008. I love blackout games!

A sad discovery I made today: I only have two more home football games in my U life...two more games in the MUSS...what am I going to do? How will I get my football fix without it?! I'm going to miss it soo much.

tv

I feel like I need a tribute post to my favorite television shows. I don't ever watch them when they air (thank you On Demand and Netflix) because I don't have time, but I love them. (I watch other TV shows too, these are just my "most watched"/faves)

1. "Bones" — C and I started watching "Bones" on Netflix near the beginning of our relationship, and I am hooked. He's seen it before, but I'd never watched it, and I'm obsessed. It's such a great show. Mystery, crime, with a little drama mixed in. Love it.

2. "Glee" — I'm a Gleek, I'll admit it. This show is just too great to pass up. The music is my favorite part (sometimes the story is just too dramatic for me) and I just love it.

3. "Food Network" —I know this isn't a specific show, but the Food Network is the greatest. I especially loved "Chopped," but everything on this channel is awesome.

4. "Revenge" —A new favorite, but good nonetheless. It's still the first season, so I'm still getting into it, but I love it. Lots.

5. "Terra Nova" — So great. Saw the previews for it, decided to watch it On Demand, and now I'm hooked. Dinos and drama? Pretty great for sure.

6. "Biggest Loser" — Always a tear-jerker. Always. I love it.

7. "Say Yes to the Dress" — Looooooove. I'm so obsessed with this show, it's kind of embarrassing. But really, I love it soo soo much.

So, if you're looking for new shows to watch, check these out. They are great.

what I did for fall break

Fall break is the best. It's a much needed rest from the stress of school, and while I didn't go anywhere exciting, I still had a wonderful week!
C and I spent Tuesday driving up to Park City and Midway. We stopped in Midway for some lunch at Tarahumara (arguably one of the best Mexican food places in Utah—not my fave, but quite delicious. The salsa bar was the best) and then decided to take a drive up to my cabin for an afternoon movie. We watched "Remember the Titans" (the vhs version) and snuggled a lot—a perfect fall activity.
Thursday we went to Gateway, discovered that Juicy Berry has some amazing frozen yogurt, and indulged in a great movie. (It's rated R, don't judge me) We saw "50/50," and it was INCREDIBLE! I highly recommend it.
Saturday we watched our UTES crush the Pitt Panthers 26-14, which was a glorious and much-needed win. We also carved pumpkins! Check mine out.

I had a fantastic fall break! I'm sad to be going back to school, but the prospect of graduation looming in the near future (I applied for graduation this past week as well!!) I don't mind school too much.
I also made this over the break:

I love quilts!
I love my life!

I'm excited for bowling class to start tomorrow!

My two favorite things: C and the temple.
