I didn't SAVE!!!!

So, today I did not pick up a substituting job so I could get this huge project done for one of my classes; It is a 30 minute presentation that I have to give to at least 2 adults. I am going to be giving it to my neighbors. Anyways, I worked on it all morning before Taylor came home for a few hours, at which time we watched almost 3 episodes of season 7 of 24. I had a good start on the presentation so I did not feel too bad, besides I would be working on it all night. Taylor left for work at 2:30 and then it was time for business. About 8:00, after about 5 hours of working on it + the couple hours of working on it from the morning, something happened with power point and it had to shut down... Did I save it? Did I put the little file and push SAVE? Of course not! 7 hours of work was lost! I have been working on redoing it for the past couple hours... at least it is going faster. I probably should be working on it now, but I am so hungry, tired, and grumpy. I still have a little over a week to get it done.

Right now all I want is a hug from my husband and to go to bed! He should be home in about an hour... Tomorrow is a busy day for us. We are volunteering at the Boys and Girls Club from 9-12, then Taylor has to take a test, and then, Taylor doesn't know it yet, but I really would like to go to the Festival of Colors. It is only one day and is from 12-4. We are supposed to be at his parents in Salt Lake at 4 for an Easter party. So, somehow I think we will finish volunteering at 12, Taylor will go take his test, we will drive to Spanish Fork for this festival at about 2, stay for only an hour at most, stop by at home on the way to Salt Lake and shower because we will be covered in color, and get to Salt Lake maybe just a little late... We'll see... I really, really, really want to go to this Festival of Colors and just found out about it today. We can make it work... I hope...

Loving Hands

Disclaimer: You may get sick reading this so I apologize in advance...

Some may think it is strange, but sometimes Taylor and I hold hands in our sleep. He says sometimes he will wake up in the middle of the night searching for my hand. I love it! It is one of the best feelings in the world to wake up with my hand in his!

Happy 23rd Birthday to the man I love and wanna grow old with!

Today is Taylor's birthday! He is the best friend and the best husband. I am so blessed and so grateful to have him in my life and for eternity! He always is so positive and uplifting, so hard-working and dedicated in all that he does, strives to do what is right, and is so thoughtful and loving. He always makes me laugh. I love that man with all my heart!

23 March 2010

We had Taylor's parents over for dinner tonight. It was a good evening to a horrible day! It was nice to visit with them. Taylor and I made chicken alfredo with salad and bread. We thought we were putting too much alfredo sauce, but it ended up being a little dry... but it was still good. Next time it will be even better. Then we played a game of bowling on the wii. I, of course, won and beat my record! I think I got 5 strikes in a row! I'm a little proud because in real life... I am the WORST bowler! It was fun. Jeanne played a game of tennis and Tony did a match of boxing. It was fun to watch them and it was to spend some time with them.

Tomorrow is Taylor's birthday! :)

A weekend away!

Thursday I only worked until noon and then came home and packed, while Taylor watched the basketball game. He goes crazy watching and drives me crazy too! Go BYU! The night before Taylor went and got us a bunch of snacks, also known as JuNk FoOd. He is such a good sport. He drove the whole way. It took us about 7 hours- not too bad. When we got there we got to open our birthday presents... a door alarm (thanks to my paranoid Papa) and a gift card for me, Taylor got new,professional hair clippers and for the both of us...

a Wii.

We were both very excited! We did a lot playing. Taylor is great at tennis and baseball, but I beat him every time at bowling! And I was very humble about it! "Come on baby!" Every time I would scream that I would get a strike!

Played Basketball

We went shooting...

Beautiful Sedona!
Sedona is one of my favorite places. After getting our hair cuts by Grandma, we drove to Sendona with Grandma and Papa. We ate lunch at Oaxaca, which is a yummy Mexican restaurant, and then looked in a few stores. I would have liked to look around the town more. I love looking at art. Afterwards we drove up the back road, which is just breathtaking. It was a very nice afternoon!

It was a fun weekend!

Health, Wealth, Happiness and Wisdom!

Yay for 24!! And this 24 is my age, not my obsession with the show "24" and Jack Bauer. I can't believe I am 24 years old! I know this post is a few days late, but this is the first chance I have got to update. I will write and post pictures later that will explain. Anyways, it kind of felt like just another day. I went to work and then came home and took a test. Taylor and I went to his parents and had dinner with his family to celebrate Jodie's, my, and Taylor's birthdays. It is always nice to get together and I really do love his family. Taylor is so sweet. He tried to make it special for me and was very thoughtful. He got me slippers and a bath robe; both things I really wanted. He also got me some roses and yummy smelling body lotion and gave me the best message. I am such a lucky girl! I can't wait to celebrate his birthday in just a few days!

I am not sure exactly where I thought I would be at this point in my life, but I have to say I am very happy. I have learned that everyone has their challenges and trials, but I really do believe they are for our own good and that the Lord knows what experiences we need to help us to progress. As I count my blessings I am very grateful. I love my life. A couple of my greatest accomplishments include: joining the church in 2004, serving a mission 2007-2008, and marrying the man of my dreams at the end of 2009. I love birthdays because for me they are like the New Year... a time to reflect and set new goals. So here they are... Goals for the next year of my life! (And they are not in any particular order)


1. graduate with my BS in Human Development/Family Studies

2. get out of debt (credit card and car; we'll see about student loans- maybe next years goal)

3. build up our food storage

4. have a baby

5. save $$

6. do at least 1 volunteer activity/month outside of the church

7. read 1 book/month

8. have fun and be happy!

24 and loving life! Here's to another 24 and more!

The greatest invention!

Taylor: You can't expect me to be able to read your mind.

Michelle: Well, they should invent something so you can.

Taylor: They have... It's called a mouth!
