Bahamas Here We Come!


Last night we booked our cruise to the Bahamas. I am so excited! Our cruise is December 15th(Jake's birthday)to the 19th, but we are hoping to leave the 12th and spend some time in Florida. Norwegian Cruise Lines has some really good deals going on right now. So if anyone is looking to go on a cruise, go to ncl.com. We have free flights from T-mobile so that is the main reason we are going, and that we found a really good deal. We also want to go before we have kids, because we probably won't get the chance for along time. We have to wait two weeks to see if we can get the flights we need. So everyone keep your fingers crossed.

I was tagged!

I was tagged by Melissa. I am supposed to list 7 weird or random facts about myself, so here they are.

1. I am a bit obsessive compulsive. When I go to bed at night, all of the covers have to be straight and even. I can't have more hanging down on one side then the other, and I can't have too much at the top or I feel like I am drowning in covers. If there is a picture on the blanket, it has to be facing the right way or I can't sleep. And...my clothes have to be straight hanging in the closet. My closet doesn't have a door, and so when I lay in bed I can see right into my closet. If I see a shirt sticking out or is not hanging straight I have to get up and fix it or I am thinking about all night and can't sleep. This drives Jake crazy by the way.

2.I have a certain way of eating. I only eat one thing at a time. For example, if I have meat, a veggie, and a roll I would start with the meat and I wouldn't move on to the next thing until my meat is completely gone. Then next I would eat my veggies and do the same until all of my food was gone. Oh yeah, and none of my food can touch either.

3. I talk to myself all the time. When I am alone and thinking to myself I just start having a conversation. I will answer my own questions like I am two different people, or I will think something and then think to myself, "I know"! I totally agree with you. I know I'm a bit of a freak! Ha ha:)

4. I push snooze on my alarm like five times... and it goes off every five minutes! So every five minutes its like that initial wakening that makes you so mad that you want to throw your alarm across the room. I actually set my alarm for earlier then I have to wake up so I can push snooze. Doesn't it make sense to set it for the right time and get that nice extra half hour of peaceful sleeping? I think so, but for some reason I just cannot wake up the first time my alarm goes off. I don't know why?

5. I guess you could say I'm a bit needy as well as Melissa. Mostly I just hate being alone! I can't stand to go anywhere alone. If I have to run to the store really fast for one thing, I wait for Jake to get home to come with me, or make my sister come. If I have to go to the doctor for some quick blood tests, I make Jake take off work and come. I just feel like such a loser if I'm alone. Plus I just love my husbands company!

6. I'm a bit obsessed with reality TV. I'm not sure what it is about it, but I watch almost every one. The Hills, Making the Band, The Amazing Race, Kimora, Denise Richards, Keeping Up With The Kardashians, Jon and Kate Plus 8, The Bachelor/Bacholerette, Real World, Real World Challenges, Ace of Cakes, Flip That House and any home remodeling shows. The list goes on and on. Our DVR is full with these shows. We really don't watch many sitcoms. Weird, I know!

7. I love chap stick and lotion. I put it on at least every couple of hours. I think they are the best invention ever! I really think I would die without them. OK, I might be being a little dramatic, but you know what I mean.

So there you go. Now everyone knows how weird I really am. I don't have seven people to tag. So I will tag Katie, Alisha, and Necia.

Happy Birthday to Me!

On September 3rd I became another year older. I am now 22! That sounds so old! Its crazy how fast the years fly by. Well my day started out pretty normal work, laundry, etc. After work my sister Katie and I went and got a fabulous pedicure. My mom came and watched. She has never had one before. Crazy... I know! One day I'll get her to do it. Then Later that night my family and Lara went to dinner at Chili's. Its was pretty tasty! Then we went to my parents house for delicious ice cream cake...yummy! I pretty much got money from everyone. My mom also gave me a Tu-Tu. Get it! Cause I turned 2-2. Ha ha. Jake gave me a beautiful new phone. It's the hot pink LG shine. I love it! My in-laws gave me a precious moments Ariel statue. Its way cute! My bestfriend Lara bought me Thriller tickets. I'm way excited to see it. Oh and my grandpa Taggart made me a sign that says "Karaline". It's awesome. That pretty much sums up my b-day. It was a good day!

State Fair

So I am really bad at this blogging thing, but I've been giving it a pretty good try. Mostly I'm bad at keeping it updated. Well a couple weeks ago we went to The Utah State Fair. We as in Jake and I, Katie, Eric, and Amoree, and my parents. It was Pretty fun. Jake and I enjoyed a delicious fried pb&j, and fried oreos. It was quite the experience! Defiantly worth trying although it was a bit spendy! They also needed to use double stuff oreos! It would be way better! We didn't ride any rides mostly walked around. I bought some beautiful trillion earrings that match my wedding ring. I love them! Jake bought a Michael Jordan jersey, and we also got a really good deal on a 2 night stay at a resort in Park City. At least we hope it turns out to be a great deal. Well here are some pics of our fun night.

Just goofing around.

Jake and I in front of the State Fair sign. No he doesn't usually wear Bulls and Jazz stuff at the same time. He had just bought the jersey and tried it on.

Trip to Star Valley

About a month ago we headed to Star Valley for a fun time at a ranch (thanks to the Duncan family for inviting us). We were only there from friday to saturday, but is was filled with lots of fun and adventure! Here are some fun pics of what we did.
