So I've been working on finding songs I listened to when I was a kid - just because music back then was GREAT. And I remembered there was this sweet instrumental song I used to listen to on 98.1 all the time when I was about 8. I had NO idea how to find it because it doesn't have any lyrics and I never knew the name of the song. Somehow I found it. So here it is.
I have also made a playlist of songs from my childhood though adolescence that is on here. It's at the bottom of the page. I have a lot of great memories from those songs. Check em' out.
Also, the song I think she likes me - the one I grew up with was done by the Moffats but I could only find the one from Billy Gillman. The moffats one is better.

Lost...
Season 5 premiere of LOST was last night!!!
Yes it was really good. If you haven't seen it from the beginning, I suggest you do. It's just one of those shows. I'm excited because there was an episode before it kind of explaining previous seasons and it said that the next seasons will be answering all the questions the previous seasons put out.

Baby let's Cruise...
For Christmas, Dallin got me one of the best Christmas presents ever! A 7 Day Princess Cruise to the Mexican Riviera! It was SO much fun and much needed. This was my first cruise ever and we both LOVED it! I got a little bit sick the first day and last day but Dallin was fine throughout the whole trip. It was just about 80 degrees the whole time and it was just great.
There's quite a bit of pictures so I made a few slide shows. They're not too long.
The Ship
I'm a sucker for accents and most everyone on there had one. Like the captain, the crew, the waiters, etc.
Some of the highlights of the fun days at sea were:
- The house band Odysea. The lead singer had a great deep voice. Mmmm.
- The shows they put on were great - the dancers/singers were awesome - especially since the ship moves from time to time.
- Comedian Steve Moris. He is very funny but also a great guitarist as well. He played with the Beach Boys for like 20 years. And I am a BIG fan of the Beach Boys.
- The food was great. We don't have that many (if any) fine dining restaurants in St. George so that was fun. Also - the BUFFET!!! 24 hours!
Puerto Vallarta - Jan 6, 2009
I had a lot of fun making Dallin try and pronounce it. It was great because right when we first got to port, there was a Wal-Mart right there! We got all our shopping done at one spot. Haha not really. But there was a Wal-Mart in every port but I never got to go in one. I just wanted to see what it was like. We took the taxi into the town and walked back to the ship. It was about 3-4 miles. Haha. Hey we needed the exercise!
Mazatlan - Jan 7, 2009
Dallins parents have been to Mazatlan before and they told us we had to go eat at Senior Frogs. It was was quite the experience. Everyone gets balloon hats and bandannas and interesting name tags. It was fun. We also saw this crazy cliff diver. He had to wait forever for the right wave or he would have hit his head because it was so shallow. Once again we took the taxi into town (which was more like a super Golf Cart) and walked back to the ship. This time only about 2-3 miles.
Cabo San Lucas - Jan 8, 2009
Our last port o' call. We only had until 1:00 to be there. Everything was pretty close so we didn't need a taxi at all. They had one of the most beautiful little shopping center/mall I have ever been to. It didn't have the greatest shops but the landscaping was awesome. We stopped in at a haagan dazs for some ice cream. It was over $10 for 4 scoops of ice cream. I never got used to the peso/dollar conversion. I'm afraid I way overpaid for some things.
Some DOS/DONTS we learned (the hard way)-
-Don't try and guess on the conversion rate (take a calculator)
-Don't buy the all you can eat soda & ice cream (total waste) maybe just the soda one but we got the kids one.
-Don't drink the water (luckily we knew that one before hand)
-Carry a lot of change and $1 bills (we tipped a guy $5 cuz it was all we had)
-Make dinner reservations even for anytime dining or plan on going late
-Call your credit card company and tell them you are going out of the country so they don't think someone stole it

Simply Havin a Wonderful Christmastime...
I was having so much fun I didn't even take pictures of hardly anything. I did manage to get a few shots when things were slow. These were seriously the only ones.
Christmas Eve we went out to my parents house for dinner and stuff. My Dad had just put this clay stuff in the driveway so all the sand wouldn't blow away. Well there was a lot of snow so it got super muddy. We had to put the truck in 4-wheel drive to make it there. Some of group came in cars so we had to shuttle them in. The nieces & nephews were soooo cute in the Nativity. My mom got some shots in so I might have to steal them from her. We watched the Olson family traditional Christmas Eve movie "Christmas Vacation" with Mike & Jen. Always a classic. Christmas Eve is also the 1 year anniversary of mine & Dallins engagement :)
Christmas Day we opened presents at our house - just us. It was really different and not as exciting but still fun. Our main Christmas present to/from each other is a Cruise we're going in in Jan so we didn't have much else to open. It was nice to go out to my parents and watch the nieces & nephew open their gifts. Watching little kids open presents is the best. I have one niece who gets especially excited. Like really really excited. Over everything. It's way cute.
I'm sad Christmas is over. It was so nice to have so much time off work and to spend so much time with fam and friends. I love the whole month of Dec with all the parties and spirit/mood of most everyone. I am looking forward to the New Year. I have a lot of things I want to accomplish and change.

The Holidays so Far...
Here are some of the past few weeks festivities. I didn't get any pictures of Thanksgiving :( I don't remember if I just didn't bring my camera out or I just forgot to get it out. Anyways... we've had a lot of fun since.
The day after Thanksgiving, I went to breakfast with some friends from out of town. Some waaaay out of town (the Philippines). I haven't seen Jeff in like 4 years. It was really good to see everyone.
Thanksgiving weekend, we were going to see Madagascar 2 or Bolt with "The Bills" but they were both sold out EVEREYWHERE! So we went Bowling instead. Yah on a Holiday weekend it's quite expensive!
Check out that form! That's how you win I guess. Because he did. Twice.
I really can't believe how much it has snowed in St. George lately. It was constantly coming down all day yesterday and last night. We went outside at like 12:30 this morning and played in it. There was prolly a good 2 inches!

The snowflakes were HUGE!
Awe
L- was with the night mode R- Flash
It's fun to see color mixed in with the snow.
I love lights with snow on them. I tried my best to capture it.

Twilight II...
So I went to the movie again. This time it had better sound but I'm still not lovin it. I liked it well enough but it could have been WAY better. Should have been 1/2 hour longer. But one of the biggest things that upset me were the Vampire Actor choices and their makeup. I guess it was a fairly low budget movie and they didn't think it was going to be this big but come on!
So let me just vent a bit...
This is my pick. In House she is brunette but she can pull it off.
I knew it wouldn't be sequenced exactly like the book and for the most part it didn't bother me. What bugged me the most was the part when he goes into the sunlight for Bella. That was lame.
Hopefully with all the $$ they made from the 1st one, the second will be much better.

The worst one was Rosalie. She looks like she could be from the White Chicks.
Some people just can't pull off being a blonde. She really is very pretty.
This is my pick. In House she is brunette but she can pull it off.
The next one I'm going to pick on is Carlisle. He is just so fake looking.
They should have just left him how he is. Or picked someone else that looks better blonde.

Jasper made me laugh. He looked like more of an idiot than anything. I really didn't like his hair. (It's kind blurry sorry)
He would have been good.
He would have been good.
My Edward
Alice was prob my fav out of the Vampires but I think she would have done a great job as well.
Oh and they should have just left James alone.
