I love SMART

Chris and I created a budget (that we are going to stick to) for two reasons so can hopefully go to DISNEYLAND for my birthday :) my favorite place on earth and get this sweet new Smart car. Smart is a member of Mercedes-Benz Cars. To date, over 900,000 smart vehicles have been sold in 36 other countries throughout the world. In January 2008, the United States became the 37th country to sell the smart fortwo.. Don't you love em. I hope my bike will fit on it.

The vehicle is designed to achieve OVER 40 city/45 highway mpg

The 2008 smart fortwo achieved the highest ratings from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) for front and side crash worthiness. It's safe for children and good in the snow. We can't wait to get our hands on one of theses.

Seriously....


So remember when I found a lady bug in my Cafe Rio salad...yeah a time i don't normally like to recall. A few days ago Chris and I went to outback after about two or three bites of my rice i find drum roll pleeeeeeeaaaaaaassssseeee a nasty light brown medium size piece of hair mmmmm yum! And then the other day we went to The Pizza Factory. I got what I also get (or rather what i used to get) the bow tie salad one or two bites into that and yep you guessed it another hair what is going on with my luck. Chris is really starting to think this is SO FUNNY I beg to differ. Needless to say we haven't eaten out since the hair and bug so it's all actually becoming a blessing in disguise.

Pocket Full of SunShine


I was getting a little nervous it being mid May and not feeling like summer. I was getting robbed there is only 3 months and 19 days until summer is over (calculations are not accurate I pulled that amount out of the sky) but today i felt the sun beaming on my oh so pasty white skin and was loving every second. I haven't enjoyed a good summer since 2005 before Chris left on his mission so needless to say we both are so excited and have a lot of good times planned. I couldn't find a good picture representing SUNSHINE until i found my friend RAY on google and he couldn't have said it better"everybody loves the sunshine" Happy Sunshine!!!
And more importantly HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY LITTLE ROCK STAR BRO. JOSHUA DRAVLAND BROWN. I love you joshy!

Alright folks earlier in our blog I mentioned that my husband bought me a green bike. Well we get much use of our bikes to be honest we might even ride our bikes more than we drive our car. Here is one of our latest adventures riding on The Bonneville Shoreline. We took a few wrong turns at the beginning trying to find the right path which lead us to pushing our bikes up some seriously steep hills ha ha ha ha it was sometimes dangerous but a blast. Purchasing bikes is one the best investments Chris and i have made. If anyone ever wants to join us give us a holler :)

CaFe RiO


So Chris and I on Saturday went mountain biking across the Bonneville Trail Line. It was so much fun while also being very difficult (pics to come) anyway being starving after hours of mountain biking we decide to ride our bikes to Cafe Rio a Utah County favorite or should I say was. I get my delicious tostada only to find in my second or third bit. A frickin LADY BUG!! SICK!! The nasty little red polka dot bug was sitting right on one of my lettuce leafs. So i take it up to the counter the little Hispanic lady offers to make my a new salad um... NO THANK YOU no lady bugs for me today. That lady bug ruined everything for me. So they gave me a free meal however i won't be using that anytime soon. EEEEEWWWWW

Chris and I rode our bikes to Provo Town Center to watch Iron Man last night. It ROCKS I love Iron Man it was such a good movie. It was so incredibly entertaining and intense from start to finish. Since my mission its been hard to find a great movie I love besides Enchanted but this one is a real winner. I recommend it.

Before I was sent to earth I was thrilled and rejoiced because of the family i was being sent to. I know part of it is because I would have a sister named Elizabeth(just as she is). Happy birthday beautiful girl I love you so very much!! You're the greatest!
