Valentine's Day

I had a great Valentine's Day! My mom is cute and festive and gave me Valentine socks and candy. And we eat dinner on Valentines plates and napkins.

I LOVE MATT!! He bought us 5 Private lessons for Ballroom dance (at King Studio on Foothill Dr- http://www.ballroomutah.com/) and he said part of the gift is him willing to come learn how to dance with me. Lol. We are going to start lessons next week and I cant wait. He also gave me candy and a CD with songs that remind him of me. It was so sweet!

I gave him a memory foam topper for his bed, headphones and baked him a homemade apple pie!
Yes this is the actual pie I baked. It was delicious. I got the recipe from http://www.wikihow.com/Bake-an-Apple-Pie-from-Scratch with step by step instructions and pictures. It was my kind of cooking!
We also watched the movie Paper Heart. It was hilarious- this documentary basically about love and how this girl doesnt believe in it or that she will find it....until she does!

Matt you are my best friend and lover! Thanks for the special day!

Utah Jazz

The Jazz are doing so well this season!! It has been so much fun watching games on TV and going to games! This season I have gone to more games then I think I have in my whole life combined. It's awesome.

Lunch time Fun

On Tuesday Melinda, Mikell and Kenzie came downtown again to go to lunch with me. It was so fun- thanks! We had coupons from Pier 49 and got a FREE personal pizza from freebies2deal.com. Things always taste better when they are 1. Free and 2. No work to prepare. It was awesome and delicious. Mikell is SO smart! Probably the smartest 2 year old ever. She is adorable and getting big.
Mikell thought the train (trax) was so cool. So we rode on it for her first time in the free zone and she got SO excited. And a little nervous. We had a fun day.

She wanted to take pictures with my phone...
My flowers blossomed and are so beautiful! Its been good to have these flowers brighten my day this week! I love Matt!

Matt is the BEST!

Matt is so sweet. Thursday I was just sitting at work and the secretary brought me this big package from ProFlowers. I was SO excited! I got flowers, bath salt and a box of chocolates delivered to me at work from Matt! Now they are more in bloom and beautiful! It was such a surprise. I called to thank him and he's like I thought you needed some flowers on your desk until Valentines Day. I love lilies. They and calla lilies are my favorites!

One of the many things I love about Matt is that he always goes the extra mile. He wants to do things right, not just right but be the best at it. And he succeeds. He is the best. I always laugh, smile and know I am loved. I LOVE Matt so much!

Baby Shower

My cousin Danielle is having her first baby- a little girl. I went with my mom and sisters to her baby shower last weekend. It had been so long since I'd seen my cousins and it was so fun!! I love them. We need to get together more often. I'm excited f0r our upcoming date/game night at Brooke and Shawns!!

Jonis baby is adorable! It was fun seeing my grandma and aunts too. Love the Dicksons!

Brand New Concert

I have the sweetest job! Friday night I got hooked up with free tickets to the Brand New Concert at the Salt Palace Convention Center. Thanks to my boss Jed. Manchester Orchestra played before them and they are amazing too. There were tons of people and we were like in the mosh pit of it all. It was insane but fun! To be honest I think it is kinda hard to understand Brand New live... but I have a few links at the bottom of my favorite songs. Sabrina had fun with her friends and Ryan did too. Joni and Dave were able to come but I didnt see them. My favorite part was probably hearing Matt scream and sing along to all the songs. He has an amazing voice- I LOVE HIM! We forgot to take pictures. Dang. After about 3 hours of standing on my tippy toes and being sandwiched between tons of people Matt and I got waters and decided we are getting old haha so we sat on the chairs in the back for the last hour. It was a great time.

The Bachelor

Jake is a hottie right?? Now there are just 5 girls left to win his love. I sometimes feel like a loser when I watch this show but honestly I love it! Tenley is probably my favorite. She is so genuine and happy all the time. She doesnt talk crap about the other girls and she is so excited to spend time with Jake. They are both naturally drawn to each other and make a cute couple.

Ali is almost tied as my favorite. I really like her. From week 1 she was my favorite. She and Jake have a blast together and she really seems like his type. They have a good chemistry and lots of similarities. I dont like how she talks about Vienna right there at the rose ceremony when she can most likely hear her. She is being extreme- she needs to remember she's there for Jake not to get rid of Vienna. I hope she remembers that.

Gia is so cute! She is gorgeous and has more to her than just looks. She is refreshing for Jake because she is from the city and different. She gets so excited to see stars, ride in an RV and make a fire.

Vienna and Jake have a fun time together but she really is a witch. Why would you come on The Bachelor if you want the guy to yourself and arent going to have a good time because you think everyone is jealous of you. She is self centered and high maintenance. I almost think he was paid to keep her around for more drama but I dont know- he has a good heart and did send 4 other girls home because he didnt see a future with them. I hope he doesnt want Vienna to be the mother of his children, his wife or to have any friends. I hope she goes home. But she is pretty.

Who do you think will win? What do you think about these girls and this show?
