Can't Wait!

For those who know me I am pretty much obsessed with Channing Tatum. Who isn't? My friend mentioned that she saw a preview for a new movie coming out with him in it, so I had to google for the trailer and it looks so cute. I'm really excited. It comes out February 5th!

Our New Place!

Okay so first off...I dont know how to flip pictures and second off I haven't figured out how to get my pictures in order from when i choose them and how they end up on the blog so they are a bit scattered third we just moved so I am def. NOT unpacked that is why you will see some boxes and a sorta messy place. We just moved the end of May into this place and are loving it. Its a really cute neighborhood and best of all no more crazy neighbors!!!!!!!
Our place is three levels. The first floor is the master bedroom, bathroom, laundry room and garage. The second floor is the kitchen, a place for your table, an open area, a bathroom, and two bedrooms and then we have a loft. We are loving all the extra space. This first picture is a view looking down from the loft.

This picture below is the actual loft.

This is the outside of the house!Our messy kitchen

This picture is a view coming up to the second level.

Love they Neighbor as they self...

Well not sure how much I really agree with this statement! Living in apartments I will never recommend and will hopefully never have to do again. What a nightmare this past year has been with our crazy neighbors upstairs and down. As much as we are supposed to abide by this love they neightbor rule, Not sure that we did to well after walking to my car the other morning and finding it tilted to one side! The SOB upstairs had slashed my two passenger side tires, after threatening me previousely he would do so. After all "walking to loudly" really got to him and it is apartment living of course. I was soooooooo furious. I called the cops, which I knew wouldn't do much help but at least it was reported. I also reported to the office, no help.
I am 100% positive it was my neighbor upstairs who moved out two days before. Little did he know I was way overdue for some new tires anyways so who's laughing now.
Luckily we are out as of there as of this weekend!

Girls Trip to Sedona

We did a lot in Sedona! My sisters/mom and I love to do crafts. We all came up with an idea and brought one for everyone to make. So we left with 5 new crafts. We did aprons, a flip book full of quotes, an egg wreath, a BE decoration, and a block of wood we painted and put a cute quote on. The last two didn't really have names, I had to improvise. The last night we pampered ourselves, after the hike, with face masks and cucumbers along with pedicures. We had a really fun time.

Sedona - Hike

The last day we were in Sedona we went for a hike on I forget the name but its really popular and so pretty. It was about a 3 mile hike. I've never been to Sedona, the colors of the mountains are so different from any other area in Arizona I've seen. We had to keep crossing the creek along the path, in the begining we were all avoiding getting our feet wet but when it became un-avoidable on the way back it really didn't matter. Some of those little branch/tree/rock bridges were pretty tricky I thought. Here's some pictures from our hike.

The road that takes you to the parking area to begin the hike was pretty (wine-dee), so on the way home around a corner was a huge sign that read -DAIRY QUEEN-. Cammie goes, Amber DAIRY QUEEN, my mom instantly slammed on her breaks and pulled over. So it went from a gravel road to a bunch of rocks, with dust flying up and that noise where tires hit rocks and slide. Pretty funny. So as we are eating our treats outside, about every 5 minutes was another car pulling off the road. We're like they saw DAIRY QUEEN!

1920's Murder Mystery Party

Last Friday we all celebrated Stevens sister Crystals' Birthday! They came up with a really fun idea called a 1920's Murder Mystery Party! We all had a blast dressing up everyone looked so good and interacting while being in character was hard to keep a straight face. To be honest I was lost the entire time, I didn't know who was killing who but it was fun trying to figure it all out. Part of my character was to have a black eye, but covered with makeup, some people would sorta pull me aside or double look at my eye, and thought it was real. It was fun to trick some people like it really was though. All and all I know everyone had a really fun time and it was something different, Peter and Crystal your idea rocked. Here are some pictures from our night.

Happy Birthday Steve

Yesterday was Steven's 25th birthday. I wanted to do something a little different than giving him all his presents at once. So in the morning I gave him his first present, a sweater. Later in the day I called him and told him to look in this basket on top of our DVDs, and it was another gift, he was so excited that I got him something else and loved the idea I hide it. So each gift he is thinking thats the last one. I got home from work and surprised him with some colone (ka-lone). I took him out for Dinner at Texas Road House, Tyson came to and I told our waitress it was Steve's Birthday, I wanted him to sit on the saddle and take a picture with my camera, and embarass him of course.

The waitress was lame she totally forgot and brought us our check and played the dumb card, "oh i'm so sorry i totally forgot" and made this annoying laugh. IDIOT.

I know i'm being harsh for a picture.

Then later that night I surpised him again! He is easy just buy him cloths and he's good.

Happy Birthday Steve.

Christmas Morning

Christmas morning was freezing of course. Steve and I stayed at my sisters house and stayed on the most uncomfortable bed ever, we couldn't wait to wake up early. I found Steve out on the couch in the morning (love you amber, thanks for letting us stay)! We all drove over to my moms and started opening our stockings. We let the kids go first because with our family we do one at a time and the kids have no patience, of course its CHRISTMAS. Our parents did our presents really different this year, they played a game basically like the white elephant exchange. We picked numbers and #1 got to pick first, and so forth, well if you wanted you could keep your gift hopeing no one would steal it, if they did you opened another one. It had a bunch of rules but all in all it was fun and Steven and I were happy with what we got. We all had a lot of fun opening our presents and being all together.

Good morning no make up and very close picture.

Driving to Christmas

Tyson, Steve, and I drove up to Taylor for Christmas, Christmas Eve. Once we got to Payson was when we started to see so much snow, so pretty i love seeing the snow on the huge tall pine trees.

Our Vegas Trip

Steven and I got to go to Vegas with the company I work for early December. It was so much fun getting away and spending time with him. We stayed at the Flamingo for our four day vacation. We of course did a lot of walking and went into all the different hotels and took a bunch of pictures. One of the days we walked from our Hotel to the Stratasphere, very far, everyone said we were crazy if we walked but we really wanted to ride the rides up top. About an hour and and half later we make it and the rides are all closed, due to wind and weather.
This is me and Whoopi, she was very funny.

These are the flamingos that were at our hotel in a habitat area that you were able to walk around and look at and the huge fish. It was really overcast the first day we got there and so cold.

"ELF". We stayed on the 16th floor and everytime we got in the elevator it was so crowded. Finally one night we got in an elevator just to our selvs and Steve starts pressing all the buttons/levels and says "its like a Christmas tree" , you had to be there but it was really funny and next thing we know it stops on 15 and in comes an older lady, i was like she is not going to like this, to make a long story short she had seen the movie and thought it was pretty funny.
