Random Tag

My cute friend Em G. tagged me- here's 7 random things about me (Heather)

1.I fell in the pool of a strangers house
This is one of my earliest memories! I was three, Jeremy and I were playing superman (I was Lois Lane of course) while my parents toured a house for rent with the owners. We were bending over the pool to scoop out ‘kryptonite’ water or something and I fell in headfirst! The pool vacuum was running at the time and swam right by my face- to this day I am TERRIFEID of pool vacuums. By the way, my dad jumped in and saved me. And we did rent the house.

(even putting this picture up made my heart beat fast! How sad!)

2. I walked down the stairs from the second floor of the Eiffel tower
As a 7 year old, I thought it was a great idea to walk down the Eiffel tower- just to say I did. My dad joined me on the quest and 700 stairs later we finished! It hurt.


3. I used to show rabbits in the fair
When I was about Jr. High age, I showed my mini-rex rabbits in the county fair a few years! My proudest moments: Miss Dotty bit the judge (still got a blue ribbon though!) and Scamper got Best of Breed (and chewed the top off of her pretty ribbon.) Those were the days. I hope Scott lets me get a bunny someday.

(this isn't a picture of my rabbit...but it looks a lot like them)

4. I have one nearsighted and one farsighted eye
I’ve shared this before, but I think it is too cool.

5. My hair is longer now than it has ever been in my life
It is so heavy! I give myself headaches every time I put it in a ponytail. I love it though; we’ll see how long I last.

6. I laugh out loud even if I’m alone
This is probably Scotts favorite discovery about me- it cracks him up. It usually happens when I’m reading…I will burst out laughing at something funny in the book and then laughing makes me laugh harder and I can’t stop. Silly.

7. I cry at the drop of a hat if I get hurt
This is probably Scotts least favorite discovery about me! If I get hurt even the tiniest bit, I cry a little...mostly because it scared me I think. Then, just like the laughing, crying makes me cry harder and I have a little moment. Then I'm done. So far it has happened when Scott knocked a power drill onto my foot (I have slow reflexes) and yesterday when I hit my head really hard on something. Not pretty. Sorry Scott.

I tag Jeremy (yes you my brother!)

Watch out...we're watching you

We went to the gateway to check out the new Tucano's for dinner (Scott's favorite). As we were walking Scott says "Hey! That's Memo". Sure enough- Mr. Okur. Man he's tall.

We were talking about how fun it was to see a famous rich person while we walked into the restaurant. We were seated at a table and all of a sudden Scott says "No Way!" and got a huge grin on his face. I followed his gaze, and sure enough, two tables away was THIS guy.

So cool! It was fun to watch people come in and see which ones recognized him. Wow- he has a PRESENCE.

When we left the restaurant, we were laughing about seeing TWO famous people when we turned the corner and...

I love newscasters and this gal is tops, so I was way excited! Scott recognized her too and we burst out laughing!
So we now have a new hobby...people watching.

Husband Tag

Marilyn tagged me forever ago to do this husband quiz thing. Now that I have one (a husband that is...) I'd love to brag a bit!

1. What is his name? Scott

2. Who eats more? He eats more at dinner but often skips lunch during the day. That makes us pretty close

3. Who said "I love you" first? I did...brave huh!

4. Who is taller? Scott is by 9 inches. I wear heels so often that it usually feels more like 5 or 6.

5. Who is smarter? It depends. Usually him!

6. Who is more sensitive? He is very sensitive, but I think I have him beat by a bit.

7. Who does the laundry? We're tied on that one.

8. Who sleeps on the right side of the bed? Looking at the bed...I do.

9. Who pays the bills? We both do so far but I think I'll take over that department soon.

10. Who cooks more? Oh gosh. Right now it's even.

11. What meals do you cook together? Sometimes dinner

12. Who is more stubborn? He says I am!

13. Who is the first to admit they are wrong? Hmmm...probably him. (I have the whole 'stubborn' thing going on)

14. Who has more siblings? Scott has double what I do.

15. Who wears the pants in the relationship? Scott does and he looks good in 'em.

16. What do you like to do together? Everything! That's the best thing about marriage- you get to see each other every day! After a long distance relationship, it's something we definitely don't take for granted!

17. Who eats more sweets? That would be me. Heather.

18. Guilty pleasures? Going out to eat, pg-13 movies (ha ha), spending money!

19. How did you meet? On a UTA bus. It was our 5th day of school at UVSC, 18 years old, September 2003. He sat down next to me and ended up walking me home from the stop. He asked me out a day later and we have been together ever since!

20. Who asked out who first? Scott: we lived at the same apt complex in Provo. He saw my roomies and I outside so he put on a cut off tee shirt and grabbed a basketball. He walked up to us all 'cool' like he was going to go 'shoot some hoops'. He asked me to go out with him that night. We watched a movie up in the mountains on a triple date with his room mates. We were sold!

21. Who kissed who first? We had gone out for almost a month before he kissed me! There was a lot of peer pressure- ha ha. He finally pinned me down on the couch one day and just did it. It was the best! I took a piece of that couch fabric with me when I moved.

22. Who proposed? Scott surprised me on my 23rd birthday with flowers, a limo and huge FIREWORKS in front of dozens of people! I loved everything about it!

23. His best features? LOVE his dark hair, his eyebrows and green eyes. He is the perfect height, great arms and a nice caboose! :) His hand fits perfectly with mine!

24. What are his greatest qualities? He is so lovable, hilarious- I laugh ALL THE TIME, hardest working person I know, thoughtful, spiritual, creative, and pretty darn near perfect!

If anyone else wants to brag about your man- copy this onto your blog! It's fun to reflect :)

Month numero-uno

Month number one has come and gone SO FAST! We are just loving the married life, it is the best! Here are a few pics from Lake Tahoe- Scott planned a great honeymoon!


Chilling on the beach

Parasailing- so cool!


Fishing at 6am- this was the biggest of the 6 we caught!

Mini Golf- believe it or not we tied!

We had two more receptions in August, one in Idaho Falls and one in Fallon, Nevada. We had so much fun at both! It was awesome to see so many family and friends. My dad said we had 'the wedding that never ends'!

September has brought us some time to settle in. We LOVE where we're living and have had such a blast setting up our place. Come and see us! We live right up the road from the Mandarin and still haven't been yet!

Even though we're back at work, we're still making time for lots of fun :) We have gone to a Bees game, the State Fair, we finally saw Batman, and have hung out with family! Yay for marriage!
