Technicolor bruise

My mom called me yesterday to check on me and see how I was feeling, I was trying to explain to her how my eye looked and it went something like this: It is yellow and red and black and brown and purple and blue. It reminded me of Joseph and the technicolor dream coat. You can tell by my face in this picture that I am really concerned on how I look...Just be warned.. I have been home since Monday hanging out with my brothers dog. If small children are in the room you may want to divert their eyes from this picture...

Scary huh!!! I have to work tomorrow, and have a show on Friday so hopefully I can cover some of that up with some makeup.

Christmas lights..

Its the time of year that christmas lights go up. My mom's husband Allen fell off of a roof a few years ago and hurt himself badly. My mother's balance is awful, and since I had put christmas lights up for her in years past, I had no issues climbing up to put them up for her. Lee wanted to help me put the lights up, but being the impatient and stubborn person I am, I didnt wait for him. My mom's house has a steep roof, I wad run the extension cord up to the roof, and was ready to start putting up the lights. I was starting on the corner of the roof, and there just happened to be a tree on that side of the house, and branches were hanging on the roof. These branches were in my way...and I tripped over them and fell off of the roof. Yes, I fell. I tried to grab onto branches on the tree to catch myself, but the branches were not strong enough and ended up taking them down with me. I didnt break anything, I just have some awesome bruises and cuts. This lovely black eye needs to go away . I am in a play called the "Altos", and I have a show on Friday, so hopefully it wont be so bad by then.

These pictures are scary...but this is the worst of my injuries.. Pay no attention to my awesome hair.

The first picture is from the ER, and the 2nd is from last night. Believe it or not, the black eye is worse....My doctor told me to take a few days off from work, so I am just hanging out at home...bored. Daytime TV is super boring.

When I was in the E.R. at Lakeview, they told me that I was the first one to come in from a christmas lights accident. So I at least can have that as bragging rights..

One year down...

One year ago I married my best friend! Can you believe it? A whole year?? Lee and I have actually been together for about 4 years now. Lee is such a great man. Our first date, the proposal, and the wedding. I have so many stories about him. But mainly I love this man, and am proud to be his wife!

For our anniversary Lee surprised with these amazing flowers at work, which made my day. We had planned to go to our favorite restaurant, the Paris in SLC. Before we went Lee told me he had a little something for me, turns out it was the coolest thing ever...YEP!

 It was the Beatles rock band. I love me some rock band, and the Beatles. But to have them both together!?! Pure genius. I got Lee a new Utes hat and shirt, as he is a die hard fan!

We are so excited for the new adventures that are going to come!!

The new house is so fun, and we love living in Centerville!

New House!

We are now home owners!! We found a way cute house in Centerville. It's super cute! We love it. When we get all unpacked and organized I will post pictures.

House Hunting!!

Our lease is up soon, which means we have some decisions to make. My oldest brother Matt has his own business being a mortgage broker. We went through him to get our mortgage, and did a great job. If anyone needs help with a mortgage, Matt can take care of ya!

We have been approved, so now the hard part comes... trying to find a place to live! We are thinking we want to live in the Bountiful area. It's exciting!!

If anyone knows of cute houses in the Bountiful/Centerville area let me know!!
