Jury Duty

When I got the summons in the mail that I had been chosen to possibly appear in court for Jury Duty, I was like "UGH! Just my luck!". And considering that they chose me to come on Wednesday (yesterday) and I had the next two days off, I thought "Are you kiddin' me?....Nice!". So I went, and actually from the beginning of the day my luck was improving. I made great time with Traffic and when I arrived I was able to get parking right in front of the building. Since I knew I was going to be there awhile, I had come prepared with books, bottle water and snacks. I was there for the long haul. But as it turned out, they didn't choose me so I got to come home around 11:00am. Well, actually I went back to work, but at least now I have done my duty and they can't call on me for another two years. And to be honest, it wasn't all that bad. I just sat there and read Twilight for most of it.

Twilight Trailer

I don't know how many of you are as obsessed with the Twilight Series as I am but I thought that I would share this Trailer with you. I wasn't very thrilled when I found out who they had cast as Edward and Bella, but watching this makes me feel better about it. Enjoy!

REAL vs. Galaxy

Corey has a bunch of guys in for a training and so we took them to the REAL Salt Lake game on Saturday. We saw David Beckham score 2 goals and he isn't as cute as my Corey. Oh and he also took his shirt off...David not Corey. It was a lot of fun, but a little chilly.


Here's where they did the "Walk like an Egyptian", right after they threw that player up in the air!

And here's a group photo of everyone.

Adventures in Painting

Well, as some of you know Corey was in Turkey for 2 weeks, and I kept myself pretty busy while he was gone (although it didn't make it go by any faster). I had a girl's night out, a movie night, a bunch of us went to a Real Salt Lake game, had a sleepover at my cousin's, but the biggest thing is I painted our house. I have been wanting to do it for a long time, and before Corey left I said "I think I'll paint the house while you are gone!" So I did. I would post pics of it, but I don't think it is a very good idea to post pics of your house. I just did a couple accent walls in our main living space. It is a darker brown that has more of a green tint to it. I was pretty proud of myself, because I was really worried about painting. I like things to be perfect, and I hate when you can tell that a person has painted. I must say though, for the first time painting, I did a pretty darn good job.

"I need to go to my quiet place"

I don't know if many of you have seen this movie(Hot Rod), but it is so funny. If you liked Napolean Dynamite you will like this one. This is one of my favorite parts, I laughed so hard when I saw it the first time.

More pics of Spain

We finally got the rest of our Spain photo's uploaded onto the computer so I thought I would post some more. Spain was absolutely beautiful. We took a ride up to a place called Sagovia and walked thru a castle. It was so old. It had a mote around it and everything (it wasn't filled with water, but it was crazy deep). We walked up this long and winding staircase that led us to the top. I was getting dizzy because honestly it was a tight wind. Once up top it was so beautiful. You could see a great view of the Cathedral on one side and beautiful landscape on the other.

The front of the Castle (it was too big to get in one shot, but it looks the same on the other half).



On top of the Castle looking out towards the Cathedral and city,(above) and the landscape on the other side (Below). It's crazy that on one side of the castle is just tons of city and on the other, is just wide open spaces.

Here are some photo's of the Aqueduct. No mortor was used in building it. It's truly amazing what they did centuries ago in order to get water.

Can I just say I love "Friends"

Ever since Corey and I got our DVR, I have been recording episodes of Friends. I haven't watched them in a long time and I have forgotten how funny they are. I would love to have the complete series. Corey doesn't understand why I need the series when I already have 27 episodes recorded, but it's not the same. They make me smile, anyone who is a "Friends" fan knows what I'm talking about.
