TAG---- I'M IT!
Bianca, Melissa and Chel tagged me!! Okay here we go….
1: Best thing you cooked last week:
Ha Ha I am kind of in the learning stages of cooking still. After 3 years of being married I am finally taking the plunge! I don’t know how much Bran is enjoying the meals I am trying for the first time but I am sure he appreciates the thought! Last week the best thing I cooked was probably teriyaki salmon. It was so so easy too. Just teriyaki sauce, salmon and in the oven for 15 minutes!

2: If money and time were no object, where would you go and with whom?
Well the person I would choose is pretty obvious—my hubby. The place… hm… I would love to go to Europe first to see Bran’s mission and the other countries there I’ve always wanted to see, and then we would just finish the trip off with week in Aruba or something. Money’s no issue right???

3: Last time you cried:
On Thursday night at Adam’s Army! It was amazing to see the support and love everyone showed for Adam and Alissa. They are so loved. It’s also so touching to watch how strong both Adam and Alissa and the Ingersoll family are being. They have so much faith. They’re truly inspirational =)

4: 5 Things you were doing 10 years ago:
Okay 10 years ago I was 12…. Ha Ha I was in 7th grade. I was wearing JNCO’s thinking I was so cool even though I was a joke with all of my future friends (Nikki rescued me!) A few months later I was with Nikki and Candice everyday, just getting my braces on, probably going out with Taylor Turnbull and thinking I was really cool even though I wasn’t! I was just becoming to be good friends with my sisters too….I think it took them a while to forgive me after being a hellion freak for the first 12 years of my life! All I have to say is I’m so glad Ange is still alive… love ya Anne!

5: 5 things you did today, or will do today:
Today is Sunday- the most relaxing day of the week! We woke up and went to Stake Conference, I went visiting teaching, we are going up to Maughan’s for dinner and we both have big tests this week so we will be doing some studying tonight. And we’ll probably finish the night off with an intense game of Skip-Bo. (Bran always gets so lucky… one of these days I know I’m gonna catch him cheating…)

6: 5 favorite snacks:
Hmmm.. I have too many! I love fresh fruit (Pomegranite is soooo good) and cashews. My favorite sugary snack is skittles (some things never change) but I get a head ache pretty fast if I have too many. I love gooey rice krispie treats and any kind of dip… I pretty much like everything.

7: 6 bad habits:
1: Biting my nails
2: Being a little too sarcastic sometimes
3: Picking a fight with Bran if I haven’t exercised yet that day.
4: Snoozing the alarm clock in the mornings so we’re both late to class
5: Giving my opinion even if it’s not asked for (Bran can testify to this! There’s been so many times that we drive home from somewhere and I’m saying… “Oh crap, I shouldn’t have said that”)
6. I have to agree with Chel… watching the Bachelor instead of doing my homework!!

8: 5 favorite foods
1: Macaroni Grill anything
2: Bajio’s chicken green chile salad
3: Thanksgiving meal (the whole thing… mashed potatoes, gravy veggies, turkey—it’s all so good!)
4: Any kind of fresh wrap with grilled chicken
5: And I have to agree with Ange- Pizza Hut is so good!
6. I need to add one… fish! Salmon or Halibut…yummm

9: 5 places you've been:
1: My favorite place we’ve ever been is Kauai. It was a late honeymoon and it was a BLAST.
2: A cruise to Mexico with Grandma and Grandpa Hansen
3: Miami and Orlando
4: Coronado… that place is amazing. I love going there with Bran… we have a lot of good old memories there.
5: And I also have to say Heritage Tours was a favorite trip of mine.

10: Favorite Memory
I have a couple. One of them is picking Bran up at the airport and seeing him for the first time. I know this is so cheesy but I will never forget the feeling I had after not seeing him for two years! It was an unreal night. And of course our engagement, wedding day, all of our fun memories since then… too many to choose from.

Cambree and Gage Thornton

We have the cutest nieces and nephew! Here are some pictures of them. The first slide show is of the Thornton kids and the second is of the Cannon girls. We love them all so much!

Ashley and Gracie Cannon

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

We did some pumpkin carving with the Maughans and the Egans. I have to admit... I got the pumpkin trophy for the Maughan side this year! (Matt Cannon took it for the Egan side.. boy I otta...) The one above is Brandon's pumpkin-- it's a dragon some bats and mine is the Happy Halloween one below for the Maughan side.

These are our pumpkins for the Egan side. I loved Brans! It's a pumpkin eating a smaller pumpkin that was made out of an apple. Mine is a headless horseman.

We have an annual Halloween Party- it was at our house this year. We had a lot of fun! We played some games, did the limbo, and a pinata. Bran and I were 80's joggers-- ha ha and we forgot to get a picture together. You can see all of the creative costumes this year! You've gotta love Halloween! Lets hear it for the boys! And the ladies

Orlando with Maughans

Bianca and I ran the Ogden Marathon together.... and we finished!! Woo Hoo!!

Brandon was so cute! He met me at miles 13, 22 and the finish line. At mile 13 he decided to try and run with me-- he only made it about 50 feet but it was the thought that counted! He was so supportive.

My family My mom , Me, Michelle, Matt, my dad, and Bianca
I'm surprised we're still smiling here!

Camping with Ange and Austin, and Sam and Whitney

Miami with Greg and Bianca

We've started making it a tradition of going to Miami every year with Greg and Bianca! We were there for 10 days this year and had a blast! We stayed on Southbeach and layed out all day and stayed up partying with card games all night! =)

Hi everyone! I'm starting a blog site with my friend Kasey right now. She talked me into it! Tonight we had Danny and Kasey over. We ate dinner, played Pop 5 (Girls won!!!) and had dessert. Now we are watching Brandon and Danny play an intense game of ping pong!! Lil' Coop is sleeping in the office.
Right now Brandon is just working and I am just going to school so it's nice. We have more time to spend together-- at least for another month until fall semester starts!! We leave on our big vacation to Miami next Friday. We will let you all know how it goes and we will post some pictures!!
