PLAYING HOOKIE

Chris didn't have practice on Tuesday (which is a very rare occasion) and we took full advantage of it. After we both went to our classes I told my work i wasn't coming in and this is what we did...We first made homemade orange chicken and rice then headed to The Seven Peaks Arena to go ice skating (chris's idea) which didn't work out they were having a class or something :( so we headed to JORDAN COMMONS :) OH YEAHIt was Christopher's first time at Jordan Commons he was loving it

Christopher and I got to see our first IMAX movie we saw Madagascar it was incredible MADAGASCAR is one of the funniest most entertaining movies we have ever seen. We loved it! We had the whole movie theater to ourselves and since we were seeing a IMAX movie we went all out and got two massive drinks and this huge tub of popcorn. We both filled up our drinks at least 3 times Christopher I think filled his up 4 or 5 times needless to say we were visiting the restrooms often

After we went to the Myan I love the Myan it was Christopher's first time again.

hahahah i love him this was Christopher's face as the divers were preforming.
After the Myan we filled out Massively large drinks up one more time and headed to IKEA we walked around and purchased a few things.

Kickin It Off

Chris got me this sweet jersey and a white one for my birthday but forgot to give it to me until a few days ago :) hahahaha he got it tailored for me and everything. I love it I love it I love it. Now I can be his little mini me.

His first real game was Firday it was a big nail bitter next week he will be gone Monday has a game Tuesday, Thurday, Friday & Saturaday OH BOY this is going to be fun especially now that I have my jerseys!!

Our crazy last few weeks

With basketball started, school, work and our callings it seems like we don't have time to take a breath. Here are a few highlights from the last few weeks


Chris and I went to a charity silent action event at La Caille it was a lot of fun the dinner was so-so actually I will be honest it was terrible but the appetizers before dinner were amazing they had this coconut shrimp that would knock your socks off. Chris and I can't wait to go back without so much commotion. The silent action was pretty cool one of our BYU signed basketballs went for $350.00 I won't mention that the football went for more :)

This is Chad Hymas one of my heros. He was pronounced a quadriplegic, paralyzed from the chest down with limited function of his arms and hands when he was in his twenties with 2 kids and a beautiful wife. He came and spoke to the basketball family it was a very intimate setting I got to sit right in front of him. I have never been so inspired THIS MAN PERSONIFIES CHRIST. He has the best outlook and attitude no challenge is to difficult or demanding even with the so called disability he has. Chad Hymas is a World Record wheelchair athlete and set a new world record by wheeling his chair from Salt Lake City to Las Vegas (513 miles) in July 2003. HELLO he pushed his chair IN JULY 513 miles with his family cheering him on every step of the way. He has written book and speaks to over 100 major companies around the world he has even been on Oprah. He doesn't have legs but stands taller than anyone I know besides Chris and not because he is tall. This man changed my life I am better because of WHO HE IS and WHAT MATTER MOST TO HIM.

PLEASE HELP!! I can't take this anymore

Good pete it's exactly 4:24AM yep thats no typo it's early in the morning and I have maybe got about an hour of sleep under my heavy tired eyes. I have a sore throat and can't seem to fall asleep long enough to forget about it. This has been a problem for weeks now, not my sore throat my sleep depervation. Luckily I am teaching Relief Society on Sunday and hadn't started my lesson so that gave me something productive to do THIS TIME. But now thats done and I am bored out of my mind. Chris has already come to check on me a few times which makes me feel terrible because he is exhausted but I hate just laying in bed listening to time pass by. Before I take this up to a professional I wanted to beckon to all the bloggers out there Do any of you have tips on how to fall asleep but more important stay asleep or for those in my case, any productive or interensting things to do if one CAN'T SLEEP. You know when you reach a point where you want to cry out of frustration because you are so tired but can't get comfortable well folks I passes that stage hours ago so again PLEASE HELP!!!!

Ready or not here it comes....

The 2008-2009 basketball season has begun!! This means late nights at the marriot center watching my cougar tear it up, popcorn popcorn popcorn, a sore throat from screaming, A hungry husband, and restless nights alone duing away games.
