I think we've decided on Kaiala Rio Champlin... I like it!

You Won't Believe It But....

It'a a girl!!!!

Wait- what?? I know I know, you won't believe it but we did. We bought another Yorkie. This time it's a darling little girl! She is SOOOO CUTE!! I'm so glad we found her. She happened to be in Logan too! She is AKC registered, and so small and darling.

We still don't know what we are going to name her. Our top names are Rio (as in where Brock served his mission in Brasil) and Gucci.

A few others are:
Ritzy
Belle
Elly
Choco
Versace
Zuzi (like suzie)

(added some more names)
Ilse/Ilsa
Porscha
Sophie
Adelade
Elsie
Akira
Laika
Xala
Harley


Any ideas would be great, so if you have a good puppy name leave a comment and maybe we'll pick yours. If you do, then you deserve some sort of prize!!

Here are some pics, enjoy!

Don't worry Howie- I still love you the most! He was so shy around her at first, then when she started getting curious and exploring he growled a little and nipped at her.

•Great things are in store. 
•If we step aside from where "the sticks" or priesthood, that mark the path, then we are lost.
•Having children happens in the lords time. We don't understand the lords time table, but we put things in the lords hands and we are blessed with our desire.
•We are judged for our works and for the desires of our hearts. Do the best you can. 
•Personal revalation: When will the lord communicate with us? Shut up and listen. The lord won't wake up someone to reveal to them (drowsy and tired in church). 
•Wake up early, pray then study scriptures. Makes his time more effective and so he doesn't forget things. •"Biblical trash", numbers, song of Solomon. 
•NO TEXTING during church, he condemns it! Its disrespectful and distracting.
•Lord reveals on his own time, way, and will.
•Satan doesn't have much time. Greatest temptation will be with things that are the greatest to the plan of our Heavenly Father. Things that take away agency-alcohol, (interferes with the power of the mind) tobacco, drugs. pornography, things that drive away the spirit. Anything that destroys the family: De-emphasis of marriage.    
•Jesus taught he is the son of God
•The church has no choice but to defend marriage as between man and woman. It has been that way for millenia. We will teach the wrongness of same sex attraction.
•Hold fast to the things that keep us qualified to feel the spirit, attend all church meetings.          

Coastal Scents

So this is a picture of the eyeshadow palatte I just bought from coastalscents.com. It was only $18.95 and has over 88 different colors in it. They are fairly little but still- I don't think i'll be running out anytime soon. They have tons of colors, the next palatte I want to get is the 88 warm (CLICK).

Anyways, I've been super excited about halloween, makeup, and trying out new things. SO I was wondering if anyone had any ideas for me, OR if there were any makeup looks you'd want to see. I've seen tinkerbell looks, geishas, 80's rockers, skull masks and even masqurade masks- painted on the face! If anyone wants to be a victim- or to play makeup with me let me know.

I also need to put up some pictures of my house all decorated and ready for halloween! Those will be coming soon. Leave your comments! Thanks!

I know this is totally mean BUT I couldn't sleep.... sorry Brock

It was so funny I could barely hold it back.

I love you Brock! BFFE!

Any comments on the following video?




I just .... I yuck .... ugh I can't pinpoint why but I just don't like Nancy Pelosi.

The past two days...

So, I've got to be honest. The past two days have been unusually awesome for me. Let me divulge.

(this post is worth reading, even though it's really long)

Tuesday evening was a meeting for the Huntsman School of Business, Business Council Meeting. I was invited to attend because I've expressed interest in being on the Council. It was on the 9th floor of the business building, which might I say is one of my favorite places in Logan because the sight is gorgeous. The room is so fancy with leather chairs and formal decor. Anyways I went to go find a seat and some guy sitting on the couch, (mind you I didn't know him) jokingly says, "oh here I saved you a seat". I sit down and he says, "sorry if I stink I just came from lifting".

Wow. That's a nice thing to say, so I say something like- "yeah I wasn't gonna say anything" and then I was like pretending to flex and I said, " so which way to the gym eh? I got a kick out of it because I was totally, well not entirely making fun of him but you know- that was a pretty bad way of trying to make me think he works out. Anyways we talked a bit more because I recognized him from one of my classes, and I swear he was making all attempts to look at my left hand- specifically the ring finger.

ANYWAYS, the meeting went great.

So the next day (Wednesday) I get up and go to work where I trained on Positive Leadership. It was rather fun, though I felt like my co-workers thought it was quite dull... and then started work at 9am.

At about 10:45 I get a call from Landon, the Business Council Senator (aka student president) and he says, "Now I totally understand if you can't, because this is so short notice but I was wondering if you could help out the COB (college of business) with a photo shoot they are doing of some student around the city."

Um. Duh? I was stoked! So I got permission from my super awesome boss to go out on the town. We went to the Tabernacle, Cafe Ibis, the Italian Place (never been there- but sandwiches looked great) and then was treated to lunch at Cafe Sabor. When the photographer was taking some pictures of me by myself he said, "Wow, who found this girl" and something to the extent of how good looking I was.

Hey look, i'm not making this up! That was he said... so don't think i'm narcistic :D

Ha, so hopefully the pictures turn out great. I'm sure they will. It did get kind of, um, scandalous?- because it was one picture with me on a bench with one guy, then at a table with another guy, and so on ....so hopefully no one gets the wrong impression! (Just look for my ring bling in the pictures- I told them Brock might beat them up if they weren't careful).

Anyways it really was fun, and the guys- all but one was married- kept asking me all this womanly advice like we were buddies. It was great. The pictures are going to be used in a magazine for the COB and as soon as I find out when it will be published I'll try and get a copy to post some of the pictures.

So on to the excitement of today!

My first class is operations management from Ron Godfrey, who might I say is an AWESOME professor. He really really cares about the students and wants us to take real life lessons away from class. The first day he said, "I want you to make as many mistakes as you can in this class because it's a risk free environment. There's no money to loose, no jobs at stake- you are here to learn."

Aparently his daughter was married 30 minutes before class had started yet he stil showed up. He had a luncheon about 15 minutes after class ended too. So he taught us today about inventories and whatnot. Then he started talking about how important it is to act, and told a story about how he almost was stabbed once when he was in Missouri or something. Then he was telling us we can do anything we put our minds to, and not to ever let anyone tell us otherwise. He's also told us that we are as good as the students at Harvard. They teach the same cirriculum and we should be proud of our unique ethical standards here at USU, and the international experience alot of people have as well as the diverse language backgrounds. He's a good professor.

At the end of class when the other students were filing out, I put away my things and then waited around because all the exits were blocked by a few straggling students that wanted to talk to him. As they left he turned to me as though he were waiting for me to start talking. I just smiled at him, and he kept looking at me and said, "You know you are going to do very well in business don't you"... I half laughed and he took me aside. He said "in being around you I can tell you've got a demeanor that attracts people to you. You're going to go very far in life and in business or whatever you choose." He was completely sincere and I took it as a very nice compliment.

So I had to call Brock and tell him what my professor just said. It made my day. So I don't know it was but I just felt radiant. I headed to the library to meet up with some students for a group project and as I waited some guy came up to me and randomly started talking to me, aparently the look on my face was rather odd- since that's what he commented on. My group members finally did show up, and we had a great time discussing things for our project.

I had a guest speaker in my investments class. He was a USU grad from 10 years ago, that works in NYC on wall street. He was, shall we say, the typical personality of my view of a New Yorker. Hard, not a lot of emotion as he spoke, and very straight to the point... not to mention very (wall) street smart. FYI: that was a joke.... wall street...get it?

Then I walked home. Some kid drove by and ogled/whistled me- I just threw up the ring and said- you're too late buddy.... Not like you wouldv'e stood a chance anyway!

Ha ha ok I actually didnt but that wouldv'e been way funny.

When I got home I saw that Howie had eaten some of the carpet in out bedroom. So I went and ate taquitos and watched Anastasia downstairs. I'm here now, with my cutie Brock watching youtube in our room and i'm blogging about how awesome life is right now.

Well, i've enjoyed your company today- I hope you've enjoyed this post.

XOXOxoXoxO.
