Tagged - All About Benj

I like this Tag because it's about my favorite person! Hopefully I got most of the questions correct. Thanks for the tag Natalie!

A-ATV of Choice?- This is kind of an odd question. I've never seen him ride one!
B-Born?- April 18th, 1984
C-Cookies or candy?- Benj has a sweet tooth just like me! I think he's more of a candy person. His weakness is Reese's Pieces. He's always requesting those!
D-Date of choice?- He likes going to sporting events or seeing a movie. We hope we can go see a few games this summer!
E- Essential item(s)?- Cell phone and IPod
F- Favorite food?- Homemade would probably be porkchops. Out - chicken alfredo or Benihana's
G- Gas or diesel?- gas
H-Hobbies?- He loves playing all kinds of sports. He hit a triple and a homerun at our softball game tonight! Go Benji!
I-Favorite ice cream?- Mint Chocolate Chip
J-Current Job?- Works for USANA Health Sciences as a Quality Assurance Specialist
K- Kids?- We hope to eventually have 4 (not all at once . . . haha)
L-Last vacation?-We haven't been on a vacation in so long. Probably St. George! We're going to the Grand Canyon next week. Whoohoo!
M-Morning person or night owl?- Definately Night owl! He'll usually stay up to finish homework.
N-Number of siblings?- 2 An older sister and older brother. I married the baby (and Momma's boy) of the family!
O-OCD or Sloppy? -Closer to OCD, which is good because I'm the same way. Benj is very particular about certain things . . . like leaving his keys in the same spot.
P-Pet peeves?- Probably me nagging him to do something. He doesn't like to be told what to do and he's very stubborn.
Q-Quiet or Loud?- Depends. He can be a little shy but warms up to people quickly. He's loud when he is with his friends or watching a funny show. Anyone who knows Benj knows his laugh. I love it!
R-Restaurants?- Benihana's, Rumbi, Cafe Rio, Olive Garden
S-Sports? Basketball, Baseball, Golfing, and he loves watching ANY sport on TV! (Natalie, I didn't change a think on this one!)
T- Tight wad or Spender?- Tight wad. Well, he likes to purchase more expensive items than I do so he's really good at saving. I tend to buy little items a few times a month. :)
U- Unknown fact?- He's very ticklish, especially on his hamstring!
V- Veggies?- He's a good veggie eater and he'll try anything. I think his favorites are carrots, potatoes, salad, and zucchini.
X- Extra Curricular activities?- Whenever he gets time (which isn't very often) he enjoys playing or watching sports, singing, reading, and playing with his wifey.
Y- Why I love him- I can't list everything. I love his testimony of the gospel, the love he has for his family, his courage, compassion, honesty, sense of humor, tenderness, intelligence, humility, and understanding. He is everything I could ask for plus some. I love you sweetheart.
Z-Zodiac sign- I think he's an Aries.

My Turn to tag: ANNIE, CYNTHIA, and SHEENA!

Happy Father's Day!

I wanted to wish the very special men in our lives a very Happy Father's Day.
To my daddy, I love you and so thankful you're my father. You've done so much for me and I don't think I could ever repay you. Can't wait to see you next week!
To Benj's dad, whom I hopefully get to meet someday, thank you for raising such a wonderful son.
To Benj, a future father. I couldn't ask for a better husband. You are the greatest blessing in my life.

Happy Father's Day!

Projects!

First of all, sometimes I really hate technology . . . when it doesn't work! I am so mad because my computer isn't recognizing my camera so I can't load new pictures. I don't see why it's not working because I've used my camera a BILLION times before. Boo!

Moving on . . . I have a couple fun projects I want to start soon but I need some ideas. I want to make a scrapbook for a birthday gift and I want to make a homemade cover. I've seen them before but I don't really know how to make them. I searched Roberts and left empty-handed. Here's an idea of what they look like:

This last one is by Sheena. She's so creative!!! Anyway, if anyone has any instructions, let me know! The trouble is I don't know where to start! I'm looking into doing an 8 x 11 size.

I'm also beginning an embroidery project. I bought this pattern yesterday. So cute! I haven't decided if I want it to be a pillow or if I should frame it.

My mom gave me a sewing machine and I have a couple quilts/blankets I'm working on. Hopefully soon I can show you the finished project!

Dunked!

We had a Patient Appreciation Day at work and I got nominated for the dunk tank. Patients got a chance to dunk each of the doctors and some of the employees. Luckily I brought a change of clothes!
Action Shot (one of the doctors had a lucky throw)

Getting over the shock of the cold water!

My contacts were wigging out on me for a second. Benj was waiting for me with a towel. Afterward it felt pretty nice . . . it was pretty hot that day!

American Idol

I just wanted to give a shout-out to David Archuleta. I was a little heartbroken that he was runner-up this year. I think he has an amazing voice and he was really fun to watch. My husband thinks I'm cheesy, but it was nice seeing a genuine, humble guy on the show. :) I look forward to seeing what kind of music he makes. I think he'll have a good career.
