Killing time before class

Warning: Long Ramblings of Megan

I thought I would blog a little before going to class.

First let me start off with my last class that I just had. It was aerobics and today was 80's day. which meant that if you dressed up you get extra credit. But I of course am auditing the class so it doesn't matter but I can never pass up an opportunity to wear a cut up sweater and a side pony and dance like its 1986! It was so much fun! 80's music defiantly gets your heart pumping and makes you want to do the running man, sprinkler, the charlie brown and cowboy it up!

...........................................................................................................................................

On Tuesday was Mardi Gras. A holiday that goes often uncelebrated. I don't care if your Catholic or not it's a fun day!  David and I had a little get together at our house. We had Big Band music playing in the background and everyone got beads and masks. I also made a King Cake, the traditional Mardi Gras cake (Thanks PartyLand for the cake mix!), and some really good cupcakes. 

To me Mardi Gras is just a good excuse to have friends over hang out and play games. 

I have two goals with future Mardi Gras' though

1. I will make it to New Orleans 

2. I will through a huge masquerade ball 

My next holiday that will be a lot of fun is St. Patrick's Day. If you want to join me in the ritual of watching Boondocks Saints and eating corned beef and cabbage just let me know :)

....................................................................................................

Something else we did this last week was go to the Timpanogos (sp?)Temple.  I love this temple out of the ones I have been in (which only include St. George, Laie Hawaii and Jordan River) it is my favorite!

It was such a nice day.

I hope to soon add Oakland Temple to my list. I'll be going there in June for my friends wedding! (so excited for you Laurel!)

A goal I have for Temples is:

1. to visit all that are in UT

2. and to visit the temple in the area that we vacation if possible

.............

So thats all I have time for right now. Check back later though when I add pictures to this when I get to my home computer!

Flash Back Valentines

Happy Valentines Day!

I have to do a flash back to last year...

  One year ago I met David! We had met in our ward and started talking and getting to know each other.  David decided he would ask me out on our first date. It happened to be on Valentines Day. I being a girl knew exactly what day it was.  We went and saw Emo Phillips at Wise Guys Comedy Club.  So I got all cute wore red and waited for David to come pick me up. I even made Valentines Day cupcakes.  We walked to the club got our seats and started to enjoy the show.  Well it wasn't until Emo came on stage and asked if everyone was enjoying their Valentines when David realized it was in fact Valentines Day. I think he got a little more nervous when he figured it out.

But as you can tell everything turned out great!!!

Now back to 2009!

We wanted to do something a little special seeing as this was the anniversary of our first date.  On the 13th we went out to dinner at the Melting Pot in Salt Lake (it was cheaper to go on the 13th instead of the 14th).  It was soooo good!!!!!

Then on Valentines Day we babysat Kaitlyn. We had a lot of fun! We made Valentines and hung them on the door.  After she left David and I had our nice romantic evening.  I made dinner which has been a tradition in my family forever! It was a heart shaped meatloaf with mashed potatoes around it to make "lace".  

We ate by candle light and had love songs playing in the back (Josh Gracian!) and I made Strawberry Short Cake for dessert.

We then exchanged Valentines. 

I gave David the game Killer Bunnies(best game ever!)

And David gave me Chocolate, a Teddy Bear, and Mama Mia.

We had a lot of fun celebrating 1 year of knowing each other!

Memories

Think fast! 

Leave one memory that you and I had together. It doesn't matter if you knew me a little or a lot, anything you remember! Leave a comment on here. Next, re-post this ad see how many people leave a memory about you. Thanks!

Com on its fun to think about all of the fun memories we've all had together!

Super Weekend

On Saturday David and I decide that we would throw a small Super Bowl party. I also wanted to make some homemade salsa. I made it Saturday night so that all the flavors could "blend together".  I used lots of tomatoes, 1 Onion, fresh Cilantro, 1 Lime, lots of Garlic, about 6-8 small Jalapenos, and 2 big red hot peppers. It was really really spicy but really really good.  

Yesterday I made another type of dip for potato chips. Basically it was death but it was really really good.

I mixed sour cream, cream cheese, cottage cheese, cheddar cheese, a little ranch, and garlic and onion powder. It was so good but I'm glad everyone else ate it so I didn't feel to guilty for eating a little. lol.

We put on the game and our friends started to come over. No one really cared for the game but most of us were rooting for the Steelers, David rooted for the Cardinals just to be different. During the half time show we played Pictionary Man (It's really fun). 

Steelers won, yay!

After the game we played a game called Killer Bunnies and the Quest for the Magic Carrot. This is my new favorite game! Its a crazy fun card game. And we all watched the Office.

So it was a good day and its always fun to have friends over. ( Everyone is welcome anytime)

Christmas 2008

This Christmas was so much fun and quite eventful.

First David and I left on the 19th to go to St. George so we could caravan with my mom to the Bay. When we got there we were able to see David's parents and spend one night with them (we thought we were going to miss them because they were going out of town).  On Sunday we went to my dad's concert with Q'ed Up. 

It was a lot of fun and they were amazing! (love you dad).

Monday I was able to meet up with an old friend, Lauerl.  She was my best friend when I was living in Pleasanton.  She is getting married in June! I'm so excited for her. 

On Tuesday I went into San Francisco with all the girls for Tea at the top of the Mark.  Its a tradition we do every year and its so much fun and I always enjoy it. We took B

.A.R.T in and then got to walk up Nob Hill. Well some us walked the others took a taxi. After the Tea we did a little shopping! (This is my favorite part of our tradition).  

My sister and I got to stay longer because we were meeting my dad, Teri and David for dinner and then go to the Phantom of the Opera at the Orpheum. I love Phantom!!! It was amazing and wonderful and the best ever!

Christmas Eve was crazy like always.  We did the Nativity and David and I were Mary and Joseph. Then we opened our PJs and cousin gifts and went to bed so Santa could come and leave all the presents :)   ( I sadly was sick that night and then in the morning).

Christmas was a lot of fun and exciting.  Santa brought David and I a picture of the Nauvoo Temple. Then we spent the rest of the afternoon opening all our gifts and playing with our toys.  Later we went into my dad's and had another Christmas eve. On Friday we had Christmas at my Nana's.  

On Saturday we all went bowling (another family tradition) and then we went out for pizza. 

Sunday we drove back to St. George, but first we stop back at David's parents again. Monday we were home and even though we had a lot of fun we were glad to be home!
