I love you, but...

The title of this post may seem strange but prepare to be enlightened. Working at a jewelry company I get my fair share of interesting stories to tell. One has to do with my favorite tool at work, the Signature Engraver. What, may you ask is this? Well, one of my jobs as shop manager is to engrave each and every ring that is produced in our shop. Because of the metals that we use this engrave is fitted with a diamond tip the engraves on the inside of our rings. Most of the time its an extremely boring job, but there are some highlights. Occasionally a customer decides to have a special note engraved for their significant other. Most of the time it involves the words forever, I love you, a wedding date, and so on, but other times I hit what I like to call the "special notes that should only be repeated behind closed doors." This is not necessarily because they are inappropriate (which some are), but because they are so lame no one else should have to hear or see them. To those with these special notes I'm sorry to have to give you the cold hard facts, but did you stop to think about what you were indefinitely etching into your symbol of love? So without further ado I give you some of my personal favorites. **Disclaimer** Some are not direct quotes, but you get the picture.

Retarded for you

You are mountain I am snow

One room, one bed, no PJ's

Let our love be the shores between the sea

My buttface forever

Stan and Joe (most of these are for our jewelers in Cali. Imagine that)

Your third (don't know if that's good or bad)

One love to rule them all (Okay, Lord of the Rings is awesome but it just seems kind of silly)

Love my puppycat

An awesome night

So for Christmas, being the best sister ever, I got Liz and I tickets to Celine Dion. On Sunday we ventured downtown to see her concert, and it was amazing. After more than ten years performing, she is still just as good as she was back then. We had a great time listening to her classics as well as some of her newer music. If given the chance I would definetly go again.

Blast From the Past

Ok so I am the worlds worst blogger but I guess I can only get better from here. I sat for a long time trying to figure out what to blog about. Little did I know that the perfect subject had been sitting in my desk for about 4 years. Back when I was young and dumb I had this small obsession with a television show called Alias.(Small as in I watched it faithfully) Those who know about it know that it was great for about the first 2 seasons and then slowly went downhill. But who could pass up a girl that kicked major bootie and had a hot boyfriend? So my cousin Vanessa and I decided to write a poem about our love of this show. Although it is totally lame it still makes me laugh. So enjoy. (By the way, I made sure to get permission from Vanessa; although, this most likely won't save either of us from embarrasment)

Ode to ALIAS

Every Sunday there is a sight
We sit by the TV every night
Faithfully at 8
We sit and wait
For the time to see a spy
That caught us all by the eye

Alias oh, Alias
Thy suspense has hooked us deep
And why does this make our hearts beep?

First of all there’s Sydney A
Who could kick our butt any day
And shows up with the strangest hair
And does what no one else would dare

Next of all there’s hottie Vaughn
With him along you can’t go wrong
He always knows just what is right
Especially when the situations tight

Jack Bristow knows his stuff
But working with him can be very tough
Can he be trusted at all?
Or in the end will he take the fall?

Sloane is as bad as they come
And he’s also not that dumb
Likes Rambaldi, don’t know why
Even if he had to die

Sark out cutie from Great Brit
His real loyalties seem to flit
When he’s captured he’s always scared
But on the loose the danger is flared

Dixon is our help in danger
He’ll never be to us a stranger
His wife was killed by evil Sloane
And now he feels quite alone

Marshall is out gadget man
He talks and laughs as much as he can
He provides equipment for the spies
He has no life I realize

Weiss has come close to death
And his figure has lots of breadth
He is the best friend of Vaughn
And gives advice on and on

Last of all there is Lauren
Who really got kinda borin’
She married Vaughn, (what’s in his head)
Luckily, now she’s finally dead

We have to wait for January which is a blow
Because we will miss our favorite show
Until then we sill sit and wait

And not watch a show at eight

Spooky huh?

So I love Halloween. In our house we have two major holidays where all the creativity flows. One is Christmas (tune on for that in December) and the other is Halloween. The following pictures are a small example of how we do things the "Right Way." Enjoy!

Shakespean, Scenes, and Songs

OK, its only been forever since my last blog and I started to feel guilty about not posting when I noticed on my uncles blog that I was one of the last ones to update. Oh, bad me. Anyways, I have been meaning to post the entry ever since I got back but lo and behold a month and a half later I am finally getting to it. So, here goes.
In July my family took a trip down to southern Utah. We stopped of at Bryce Canyon and saw the amazing scenery. That place is truly breathtaking. Sadly, (or maybe not) I was not wearing the appropriate shoe attire so our hiking was short lived but what we did see was beautiful. Then we stopped at Cedar City. We saw The Fiddler on the Roof at the Shakespearean festival. They do an incredible job. I have to give a little hurrah for the Fiddler because he is in my ward and he was awesome. Then, on to St George we did go. We had the opportunity to see Les Miserables and Tuacan. It was awesome but different. I have seen it before and this was the first time it was outdoors which was a little strange because they have live animals. The main character Valjean was not that great but Javer was amazing. So even though southern Utah is not my first choice in vacation spots I had a great time. Here are some pictures.

I took this at Bryce. I like experimenting

Bryce again

Why I love the Olympics

I love the Olympics and I always have, so this year was no different from any other year. I could not wait to start watching and the many amazing atheletes compete and do some pretty amazing things. So, in honor of these Olympics I thought I would give top five reasons why the Olympics are awsome. So here goes.

5. It's something that I can watch that is free of vulgartiy and others senseless things

4. I love to see the world get together to celebrate "One World, One Dream" (Beijing's Motto)

3. I can actually cheer at the TV without people wondering what I am up to

2. I little friendly competition can't hurt, especially if we win

AND NUMBER ONE

Michael Phelps

Need I say more?

The End

Okay, so I planned on reading Breaking Dawn over the course of a long period of time, you know maybe a week. Little did I know that this book would suck me in and I would be finishing it in the course of two short days. Don't worry to anyone that has not finished it, I won't spoil anything for you. All I can say is it didn't go as I had thought, but I was extremely satisfied. I even liked Bella which is saying something because I thought that she was the biggest loser in the other books but she really came through for me. I'm sad that it is the last of Twilight Saga but on the other hand I don't think that Stephanie Meyer could have ended it any other way. So I hope that those who are reading Breaking Dawn and those who will be reading it will have a good time. I know I did.
