I was tagged :)

.... and only have a few friends so I probably won't be retagging people, but I wanted to do it anyways :)

11 RANDOM THINGS...

1. I honestly believe chocolate is a cure-all. It just makes me feel soooo good inside :P
2. I'm a quarter mexican, but have been mistaken for chinese, indian, and hawaiian. No offense taken by those because those ethnicities are very beautiful women :)
3. I was an avid pokemon trader back in the day...
4. I kinda want to live in London or Seattle where it rains all the time because I really love the rain. I can see how it could cause people to have depression, but for me, I get excited every time it rains. Especially when I get to see the pretty rainbow afterwards :)
5. I'm an Aunt now to two beautiful little girls and one on the way!
6. I'm not sure why, but for some reason I have the best luck in the world. Two examples: 1. When playing games with my family, I win about 90% of the time. 2. The most fun, caring, handsome, loving, sweetest, kindest, humblest guy in the world fell in love with me.
7. I have only had 2 cavities my whole life.
8. My family and I got sealed in the temple when I was about 9. I remember watching my little brother in the nursery room and getting mad at him for being loud when he played. I felt like we had to be super quiet the whole time
9. The most frightening, but thrilling thing I have ever done is moonlight skinny dipping.
10. Converse shoes all the way baby...
11. I love Garret :)

11 QUESTIONS FROM KYLEE...

1. My favorite movie has got to be the little mermaid. I loved watching it as a kid and pretending I was a mermaid too. I still wanna be a mermaid so bad.... I loved it because I always wanted super long hair like her and to wear a bikini, which my Dad didn't ever want me to...

2. If I could be anyone in the world, I would be Zoe Saldana. She is gorgeous, acts in movies, and dresses in very beautiful clothing. I've just always liked her personality when she plays in movies too, especially Guess Who and Avatar.

3. My favorite memory is when my high school softball team sent the Blackfoot team home at the state tournament... They had beat us all year long, but at state (where it actually mattered) we creamed them! Normally I would think revenge is not a good thing, but this was the sweetest revenge in the whole world!! 
4. I like to think I am Pocahontas. I have the long hair, dark skin, and love of the outdoors like her. Plus, she falls in love with a handsome white man just like me :)
5. My dream vacation would be to go to Austrailia. I would love being in warm weather and seeing all sorts of animals all day! It's kinda funny, on Garret and I's first date we talked about this and we both wanted to go to there someday. I also remember him giving me a funny look and saying, well maybe someday... It's like he knew we would get married or something haha
6. I love the quote by an anonymous author that says, "Sometimes on the way to the dream, you get lost and find a better one..." I never really related to this until I met Garret. My 'dream' was to date all the guys I could because I didn't date a whole lot in high school, and to not get married for a LONG while. I was actually a little afraid of marriage because I had never been in a serious relationship and didn't want to get my heart broken because I had seen how it affected my friends. For about a month I was following the plan really good until January 29, 2011 when this guy in my English class (Garret) asked me out for hot chocolate. I had never been so excited/nervous for a date in my whole life! I remember feeling like he was a little too good for me (not because he acted like it but because I felt immature or something), but hoping that he would like me anyways. He was such a gentleman, and from the first date I have never felt uncomfortable with him. He was so easy to be with and talk to about anything. This was a big deal for me cause normally it takes me a while to warm up to people. But ya.... he melted my heart and my 'better dream' began :) <3
7. Gosh, just one re-do day? I could use a lot of re-do's... but I will have to go with the day I decided to go camping with my friends. We left the day before Garret's birthday and came back the next afternoon. It was the only day my roommates could go but I should've let it go and had an all day party with my boyfriend on his birthday. Gosh, I feel so bad to this day that I did that. He is in for quite a 'make up' birthday this year...
8. The most embarrassing thing that has happened to me is hard to know because at least 3 embarrassing happen to me on a daily basis. One that really got me though was when I tooted in front of Gare the first time. It was while we were dating and one night we were cuddling under the stars and he was tickling me. Now, I have a low tolerance for tickling. I am extremely ticklish. Anyways, I accidentally let one out and was like, "oh my gosh, did you hear that?" He didn't and then of course I had to explain... If I would have just kept quiet he wouldn't even have known! 
9. I am most grateful for Garret. I know I talk about him a lot, but he is the most important part of my life so I can't help it haha! I am so blessed to have met him and marry him. I'm grateful for the man he is. He's so loyal in everything he does, and to me. He always lets me know how beautiful and important I am to him. He is so humble when it comes to talking about his achievements. Like when he gets a sale I say, "I knew you could it babe!" and he says, "God helped me." I really love that. It reminds me to thank God more because all of the joys and blessings in our life are because of Him. Garret just has such a big heart. He may be big and look like he can beat you up, but he's really just a big softy on the inside. I'm just grateful for how he makes me want to be better. When your around someone 24/7 that is like him, it rubs off on you. I have never been happier in my life. He just has this way of making me feel truly loved. I know he'll always be there to catch me. He actually got in a car accident on his mission and they said he should've died, but thankfully he didn't. My mom always says its because God was saving him for me. I cry every time I think about that... ha I'm a ball baby :)
10. Damsel in distress or Charlie's angel? Charlie's angel, hands down. You gotta have a little girl power in ya :)
11. If I only had one week to live I would spend every second with my loverboy. Even though I would see him in heaven because we are together forever. We would probably eat banana pancakes, go skydiving, have a romantic dinner, and then go star gazing. Perfect day :)

Welcome to the family Mogley!

We'd like you all to meet Mogley!
Is he not the cutest thing you've ever seen?
We love him so much! Seriously... We got him on sunday night and it was just meant to be. He was a little shaky at first, but once we got him home and got playing with him he was going crazy lickin' us. Haha he would run from Gare to me to Gare to me. It was the funniest thing. Especially when he runs! He looks like a tiny bunny or somethin' haha... We are definitely lacking in sleep at the moment, but its so worth it. He's actually getting better at going potty on the pad too! We have to do it on the pad because we're kinda sorta not supposed to have him in our apartment so we can't take him outside. But during the summer, I will be with him 24/7 and be able to train him better. 
It was so funny the first night we got him because he was whining when we put him in this big container so we took him out cause we didn't want the neighbors to hear and tattle on us. So the first night he slept with us and we were so tired! Gare: "If you weren't such a cute dog, you'd be dead right now." He melted Gare's heart with one lick to the face. Mine too :) Here's a couple more pics of him... I can guarantee there will be more soon cause I just love my little guy :) 



Oh and by the way! He is about as big as both of my hands cupped together! He's a toy yorkiepoo so he's maybe a pound right now and should be 3 3/4 lbs. full grown. Perfect for apartments, which we will most likely be in for a while... Ahhh he's such a cuddle bug too! We seriously love everything about our little guy!
P.s. Gare did awesome selling this last week! He went to Sacramento and got a sale! This is good cause Cali is one of the toughest markets because it is warm all year round so they have salesmen come by all year long. He's so excited to go this summer and I know he is going to knock it out of the park. He's Garret :)
P.s.s. I took a really hard test this last week and owned it with a 95%! I was super excited :)
