I Found All of YOU!

So my tragic blog story just got a whole lot less tragic!! I thought I had lost all of your precious blog addresses but just now as i went into create a blog list you were all hiding in there... All of you that I thought i would have to search for again were there all along! It is weird that my list just didn't appear on my blog when I exported my old one. Weird! I am so glad that I don't have to stress over that now! Maybe I was blessed for going to the General Relief Society meeting in Salt Lake tonight! YAY!

Almost Back To Normal!

So after basically totally screwing up my blogger settings last night and spending 3 hours trying to salvage as much as I could... I had to create an entire new blogger account and export all my posts from my existing blog to my new one!! What a pain! Now I know its not that hard to change a background on a blog because i did it right the first time but I tried to change the color of the template I was using. I clicked on a button that said "restore to classic template" I thought this would just go back to the original background so I could try to change it again. But NO! It completely changed all my settings and erased by "layout" tab! so i had no option of going in and rearranging my layout! it was like it went back to the old blogger from 5 years ago that only had basic settings for blogs! I didn't no that clicking one button could send me back in time! So everything is kind of back to normal but I still lost some pictures and some of your URL addresses! What a nightmare! I know some of you are thinking how I could manage to do this and it doesn't make sense but I just needed to vent and explain my frustrations!! hopefully this wont happen again but if it does then I am officially done blogging!

UGH!!!

So tonight in an attempt to choose a cute new background for my blog I have managed to get all my links erased and all my pictures!! now my layout is all switched up and I am going to have a melt down!! oh why does this stuff only happen to me!! ugh! so how do all get cute backgrounds with out it ruining your lives!?

The Office Returns!!

I have been waiting and waiting for the new episode of the Office for a long time! Last night it was finally on and I can't believe Jim purposed to Pam!! I thought for sure that they would drag it out for a couple seasons and throw some twists in just to worry us! It was so unexpected and honestly I got a little emotional. I love when Kevin asked Holly if she thought he was retarded! Just the way he said it was so funny! Poor Andy... Angela is a little hussy! I wonder how long she will keep leading him on and go behind his back with Dwight?? Well I know many of you tuned in for this wonderful occasion last night so please leave me your thoughts on the episode!

Reading Progress

Well to start I have been so incredibly busy! With our fall dance classes in full swing I have been teaching more than ever and I love every minute of it! We will be preparing for our annual Nutcracker show for the next two months which will make me even more busy. I am excited for it and I have a lot of choreography to teach. ah :) Due to the fact that I am getting home much later now I haven't posted anything new forever!! I used to post something at least once a week... what happened to me? I guess nothing that exciting has happened to us... no babies on the way, not moving, no new pictures, Sorry! I do have some progress on my reading that i would like to report. A few posts ago I told you all that I was going to start reading the Twilight series books. I am proud to say that I have finished the first two and I am on chapter 9 in Eclipse. I read the the first one in about a week because I was so excited!! The second one took me a few weeks and I only read it when I had free time. This third one is killing me! I have read about one chapter every week which puts me on chapter nine. I forget what has happened from the last time I have read. Am I losing interest or am I just so busy and stressed that I don't have time to read?? I don't know but I have to say that Twilight was my favorite so far. I hope Breaking Dawn will keep me interested, that is if I can ever get to it... I will let you know when I finish it!

Gymnastics

Mikkel and I have been watching the Olympics every chance we get! We loved watching Micheal Phelps dominate and win all those gold medals! My favorite is always gymnastics! I always wanted to be a gymnast when I was younger. My mom signed me up and I was bored doing cartwheels and forward roles! I wanted to go on the bars and balance beam but my teacher told me that I wouldn't be able to use those for a few more years! I didn't want to wait that long so I quit. I think I could have been pretty good if I was patient and stuck to it, but dancing caught my interest soon after...

I just wanted to voice some of my concerns, thoughts, and issues I have about the womans gymnastic competition!

All of the US team was amazing! Some of them got injured which was unfortunate but they held it together and did the best that they could! I feel bad for Alicia Sacramone! She had a bad fall on the balance beam and fell apart during her floor routine. I know the pressure is extremely high and the stress of it all would be very overwhelming! My heart goes out to her!

I think that Nastia Liukin missed her calling in life... She should have been a Ballerina! (GASP) I know I know she is an amazing gymnast! But look at her body- her long slender figure, her long legs, and her extremely beautiful pointed toes. She would have made a gorgeous ballerina! Now I only say this because I was one and I teach ballet so please understand! I told Mikkel this and he said, "Ballerinas don't win gold medals!" I laughed and then realized that I was out of line to think of her as something less than a gold medal gymnast!

My biggest issue and complaint is over the chinese girls! Who are they kidding!! Half of them are not 16! It must be nice to have your own country host the Olympics so you can lie in order to compete! Its not surprising considering that they digitally enhanced the opening ceremony fireworks and had a "cute" girl lip sing the words to the "not so cute" girl's voice!! Oh and the tie between Nastia and the chinese girl was ridiculous considering Nastia had less mistakes in her routine! I can't believe they gave the chinese girl the gold anyway and Nastia the silver! IT WAS A TIE! At least let them do the routine over! If I was Nastia I would have got up there on that gold medal platform and stood right beside her!! Seriously how convenient is it for the chinese?? They have more golds and are obviously being favored cause they are in their own country!! I think they should investigate so they can prove that some of them are under age and then their precious medals will be taken away!

I am glad that Shawn was finally able to get her gold medal for beam!! She deserved one! I am so glad that Nastia took silver! I am surprised they didn't just give the chinese the gold and silver!

Well I am glad that the gymnastics is over cause if I had to see one more under aged chinese girl win gold I would probably lose it!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MIKKEL!!!

That's right my husband is 27 today Aug 7th!! Since you never hear from him cause he refuses to be a part of this blog world... I just wanted to do a special post for him and spotlight all the things he loves to do a long with some of the things I love about him!

He loves to spend time in his "Man Cave" (this is what he calls it, but it is just our basement)

He loves watching movies, working out/lifting weights, and playing video games on his

PlayStation 3! When we moved in he said that I couldn't decorate the basement cause it was his playroom.

He loves to get into trouble!!
(as you can tell from the picture below... fire work powder + bottles + Mikkel= trouble) He is always up to something when he is with his boys! I thought boys grew out of this stage after Jr. high... apparently not!

He hates to be dirty or sticky!!

He showers constantly and gets nervous when I eat sticky foods or

candy around him! I don't know how he will survive being around our babies :)
Here he is washing the sand of his feet after we walked on the beach!

He has such a tender heart for animals!

He is so sweet to our dog and he loves to cuddle with her! They

have so much fun playing together and I am amazed at how he taught her all her cool tricks!

He is extremely competitive!

When we play games he usually wins but when he doesn't... watch out!

He loves Guitar Hero III!

He has mad skills and has beat almost every song on expert!!

He knows everything about everything! I am amazed at how smart he is. He is always telling me some new fact or scientific theory. He also knows a lot about the gospel! He is constantly teaching me new things and he can answer every question I have.

He is extremely picky about his food!!!

He hates cheap imitation food a long with most fast foods. He likes anything and everything as long as it meets his standards! He likes to eat at all the pricey restaurants cause they serve the best!

He is an amazing cook! He can whip up anything and basically

just throw anything into a pan and it tastes delicious! I am

so lucky to have my own personal chef cause I don't cook!

Here he is eating some ribs with his beloved hot sauce, which he puts on everything!!

I think he needs a napkin... don't you think?

He is so dreamy!! I love him so much!

He is extremely patient with me and has helped me become a better person.

I love you honey! Thanks for being my sweet husband and loving me!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY I LOVE YOU SO MUCH!!
