TWILIGHT PREMERE

The big day has finally come and gone... I have to say, I went into this with very low expectations. I can only think of one movie that I liked as well as the book, so I was very skeptical. I'm not quite sure what it is.... I feel like when I see a movie after reading the novel first, the movie usually seems cheesey. Almost low budget. With Twilight I was pleasantly surprised. I can't say that I LOVED it, but I was entertained. Although... Edward from the book is definately better then Edward from the movie, the movie version grew on me. I thought that the casting overall was spot on. I'd like to see it again when there isn't a theater full of screaming girls. Thanks to Rachel for hosting our Twilight pre-party. You're a gem:)

THE HOLY WAR

UTAH BYU

The tailgate party started on Friday night and didn't end until 11 pm Saturday night!! I haven't wanted to say anything about the UTES PERFECT SEASON because I was so scared that I would jinks it!!! But, now that it's over.....This was such a fun football season! I L*O*V*E Kyle Whittingham. I am so proud of my team. GO UTES!!!

Here are some of our pictures from the game.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN

We went to two parties on Halloween. We started out at my aunt Nancy's annual gathering and then we headed over to Jinxy and Julia`s. For My aunt's party Brett wore his PG costume, which was a ninja. For Jinxy and Julia's he dressed down into his PG 13 costume which was Tom Cruise in risky business. This costume was all my fault. I was a geisha and wanted him to be a ninja. He didn't like this idea. So, we were trying to think of a last minute idea that wouldn't be too expensive. I was kind of kidding when I made the Risky Business suggestion, but he loved it.

Brett's 29th B-Day

HAPPY 29th BRETT

Brett had his 29th Birthday on the 8th of October. For his B-day, I decided to surprise him with a trip to Denver to watch the Broncos vs Bucs game. Brett grew up in Denver, and is a huge Broncos fan. Our friends Dan and Heather live in Denver and they helped me pull the whole thing off. I started to plan the trip about two months ago. I was able to keep it a surprise clear until the night before when I accidentally spilled the beans. We stayed with Dan and Heather at their apartment downtown. Dan has a friend who works for the Broncos and was able to get us killer seats. We were on the 9th row of the lower bowl!!! We had sooo much fun! After the game we scored passes to go down into the tunnel where we were able to meet Dre Bly, Champ Bailey and Brandon Marshall. We even got to take pictures with them.After the game Dan took us to the Pepsi Center ( He is a trainer for the Nuggets) and we got to go into the teams locker room and play basketball on the practice court.

The only disappointment was that we didn't get to meet Mark Schlereth who played for the Broncos during the John Elway days. I have MAJOR crush on him!! He was at the game for a tribute they were doing for players from past teams. Maybe next time!!! I have one of Dan's friends working on setting that up.

We also found time in our little weekend to pay a visit to Brett's grandparents and his uncle. We haven't seen them in about two years, so it was really nice to catch up. Overall I think the weekend was a success.

Really, really ridiculously good looking

This post is all about Brett. He was looking at our blog tonight and was bothered that there weren't more pictures of him. So I told him I'd take care of it. A normal person would be embarrassed by their wife putting these pics on the internet, but not Brett. He loves it:)

Did you know that he modeled a little before we started dating? This is a five page spread that he did for Details magazine(September 2004 issue). I remember going to dinner with my friends and whipping this bad boy out while asking "Do you want to see the guy I'm dating?" The funniest story is the time I went to his house, I think we had only been dating for a week or so, and he had his magazine open to this spread and he walked over and said "People say I look like this guy." What a line. He's a nerd, but a good looking one.

These next two are some of the pics that got him in Details.

I call this one Blue Steel

There you have it. My blog tribute to the hottest husband in the world:)

AUGUST RUNDOWN

I was such a mess this August that I didn't get the chance to post all of the good things that happened, so here is the rundown:

We had a book club retreat at Aubrey's cabin.

The book: Breaking Dawn

Does anyone else think that maybe Stephenie Meyer was writing this at the same time that she was writing The Host?? Not my favorite of the Twilight series. I was extremely disapointed in the first half of the book, but decided by the end that it was worth the three days it took me to read it.

Can you believe this place? We had so much fun. We first had dinner in PC and then went to the cabin. We didn't talk too much about the book, but instead took turns scaring eachother. Sorry boys...there weren't any pillow fights:)

We are one hot book club.

BLAKE TURNS 30!!!
Blake had his 30th Birthday on August 6th. We threw a big surprise party for him the Saturday before and I can honestly say that I have never seen someone so surprised in my life. He stood there with a blank look on his face for about 40 seconds before I ran over to hug him.

I have got to be the luckiest girl in the world. Blake is the most genuine sincere person in the world. Any of you who know him can vouch for that. I don't know anyone else in the world who is as well liked as him.

Blake, I love you more than you will ever know.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY POPPY!!!

My Dad's birthday is also in August. I want him to know how much I love him and appreciate all that he does for me. I am such a daddy's girl. All growing up I only wanted to listen to his music and watch his movies. That is why I am such a big fan of Elvis Presley, The Carpenters, the beatles and old school horror movies. I still want to do everything that he does. We have so much fun going golfing together, taking guitar lessons and watching football.

I LOVE YOU

I want to say Happy Birthday to all of the others who had Birthdays in August...

Brett's Grandpa Stewart and his Nana, my uncle John and Aunt Jacki, and my favorite little sconecutter buddy Stephanie P. We love you guys and hope it was a good one.
