Happy Anniversary Jarr-bear!

In Honor of Mine and Jarred's 9 year wedding anniversary, I thought I would share 9 of my favorite pictures of that day. Enjoy:)

#1. Our announcement. Ok so I know this wasn't the wedding day, but I still liked the picture. The lady messed up the announcement wording and spelled Willcox wrong, but people got the point. This was tree in my home town park that I used to climb on a regular basis.


#2. Look at my vail and train! Seriously, beautiful!


#3. My married Siblings all making out at the Temple. Nothings better than when you can makeout in front of relatives and no one can say anything because you're married and taking pictures.


#4. Jarred and Amy Ann. I don't know what I would have done had Jarred's brother Jonathan not married her. The three of us got so close while he was gone on his mission.


#5. My roommates. Oh, how I freakin' loved these girls! We were all SO different, but it just worked.


#6. Jarred and his mom Diane. What a woman! She has such a sense of humor and this picture shows it.


#7. Our hands. Who doesn't love a wedding ring hand picture? I remember how I couldn't wait to take this picture with my bouquet.


#8. Us. I can't believe how young we look here. I love how my vail kind of makes it look all fantasy-like.


#9. My Jarr-bear. He's still the most handsome man in the world to me. I just love those moments when you can fall in love with your spouse all over again with just a simple glance.

Happy anniversary Jarred, I love you! Can't wait to see what the next 9 years brings!

Three things I learned this week.

1. I might be able to enjoy running.
2. I now have curly hair.
3. I don't need a microwave.

Last week...

Last Thursday I made a trip BY MYSELF,out to the west Valley. Avondale to be exact. Those of you who know me are shocked I'm sure. Why did I venture so far from home you ask? Well one of my old roommates, and dear friend Chelle lives out there and does hair. I had seen her a couple weeks before and we talked hair. So I set an appointment so she could cut mine. I'm not the best at keeping up with my hair, as most hair dressers will tell you, so I thought we could do each other's.

So what do you think? I love it! We took of about 6 inches and believe me, it really needed it. The only thing is that it's curly now which makes flat ironing a necessity.

I guess it's just a shorter version of what I already had, which I like. Growing it out it will be super easy. Maybe I'll actually start getting regular haircuts. Then I'll be able to see Chelle and her adorable kids more often. Thanks Chelle, you're the best!!

Bargain Shopper in the making...

After seeing all the deals all my friends have been getting due to their Bargain Shopping, I decided to give it a try. Here's what I got:

6 boxes of cereal, 36 eggs, 2 jars peanut butter, 2 gallons milk, 2 boxes granolla bars, 2 cartons orange juice, 9 yogurts, 1 container cottage cheese, 3 cans soup, 1 pkg tortillas, 1 tub butter, 1 box slim fast, 2 pkgs grated cheese, 1 deodorant, 4 bags frozen vegetables, 2 loafs bread, 1 bag grapes, 7 avacados, 2 cans biscuits, 1 can cinnamon rolls, 2 bags fish sticks, 3 bags chicken, 2 racks pork ribs, 2 pkg porkchops, 2 boxes maccaroni and cheese, 1 pkg parkay, 1 bag dog food, and 12 rolls of toilet paper.

Total cost: $135.15
Total savings: $105.50
That's 78%!! Not too bad for my first try. Hopefully it will get better once I get more coupons.

I demmand a recount!

I didn't ever realize I was in the running. Someone must have written me in. Hmmm.........President Truschke? Naah......I don't really like the sound of that. Now President Koi is more like it. Seriously, what were they thinking?

Kids Club at the Mall

E is for Elephant...

Or as Simon likes to say Epi-tent. At least he gets the right number of syllables.
I love that he's talking more lately. I hate to admit this, but he started talking more once I started letting him watch Sponge Bob. Now it could just be a coincidence, but I think he just relates more to Patrick and S.B. more than other cartoon characters. Simon's not exactly "Mr. Well Behaved" and neither are the said characters. I hate them just as much as any parent but I do have to admit, they do make great babysitters.

Welcome to technology....

I can't wait for the day when I can destroy my old cell phone, Ugh! I've never loathed anything so much in my life. It's a a Motorola Z3 RIZR Rose. I think it's the one they make people use in Hell. Here's a picture of the Devils phone. My sister's friend just got it. Ha, ha! Good luck Saidie!

So I'm going to get a new phone with my tax return. I've only gotten two new phones in the past 8 years. A little sad I know. I just get used to the stuff I have and don't want to change. Here's the two I'm trying to decided on.

Option #1: Samsung Memoir

I have dreamed about this phone since I learned of it's existence in January, the Samsung Memoir. Ahhh, Memoir...doesn't that sound nice? It's basically a 8 megapixel camera that just happens to be a phone. You can take a picture and upload it to "photobucket" or anywhere else on the web directly from the phone. It has a timer and various playback options just like a regular camera. It's a touch screen which I've never used before, but seems cool. The only thing is I have to sign up for the data plan which is like and extra $30 or $40 a month. Total crap since I will most likely never want to access the web from my phone.

I just want a camera and I definately need a new phone.

Option #2: Samsung Behold

Now that sounds friendly. How can a phone be evil when it's called Behold. This one has a 5 megapixel camera, and other various options. It's touch screen like the Memoir, but the reviews were more positive on the QWERTY keyboard than on the Memoir. I still am not sure if I need a data plan with this one or not, but if I don't I think this just might be the winner.
