You've got mail...

Don't you just love classic movies like You've Got Mail?
It's a classic. You've gotta just love it! I love the part about how they meet but they don't and you can just see it before it comes. Sometimes predictability is so fun.

Last weekend was a lot of fun. Adam and I have the blessing of living so close to family and Saturday I spent the day with my sister-in-law. We got to workout and then we made muddy buddies and ate them while watching The Great Mouse Detective. I had such a good time that we invited the rest of the family over for a BBQ. Once again, Adam did an amazing job with the chicken. So good, that I decided to make kabobs for dinner tonight! Well, we watched a little bit of Brian Regan while dinner was being finished and then we watched the Princess and the Frog. I love Disney movies... Can I just say that? They are so cute. And I love the Princess and the Frog. The friend is so funny... "tell him big daddy! TELLL HIMMMMM!" It's so great.

Well Sunday was very relaxing. We recently acquired a gi-normous love sac from Adam's brother (we're holding onto it for him for a while) and I took a nap in it on sunday. It was so nice. Everyone should have love sacs so that they can take sunday afternoon naps in them.

Well it's monday again. Time for the week to start. Adam has two midterms, I have a midterm and a presentation... basically, its super busy for the two of us. Oh, and it snowed today. In the middle of May. But the sun came through in the end... just hope it stays. But we are excited for the Memorial Weekend! Whoo hoo! Here comes the sun (I hope).

When you fall in love, it's like falling in love, it's like barbecue!

So the past week was lots of fun. Still haven't heard from the internship... Guess he doesn't want me. But that sort of stuff happens all the time.. right? (I really wouldn't know, I've only applied to one!)
Last Saturday, we went up to Bountiful to spend the afternoon with Adam's family and his sister came along and brought her kids! I always love hanging out with my nieces and nephews. We watched movies, ate lots of mexican food, and had lots of fun playing like kids :) Some pictures from the event...








Little Brayden was so funny! He kept making up these jokes that made no sense, like how did the ball get to school? It went through the pipe! But then he said this one that made sense and we busted up laughing. He said...
"How did the toot get to school? The wind blew it there!"
little kids. So great.

We celebrated Cinco de Mayo this past week! To celebrate, we made fried ice cream, enchiladas, homemade guacamole... and ate lots of chips! It was lots of fun! We also watched Nacho Libre to get us in the Mexican mood. I love that movie. Nothing like Jack Black with a really bad spanish accent to get us in the mood for mexican food.
"Do you remember that one time, when everyone was cheering my name, and I used my strength to rip my blouse?"
"yeah and then I saw you get knocked out, alright?"
It was a great cinco de mayo.





Oh! and then for our date night, we used our money to go to target and we bought (dun dun da duh!) a charcoal grill! It's like Adam's new favorite toy. And we had the most delicious barbecue friday night (and today). Friday we had hamburgers and hot dogs, with barbecue chips, macaroni salad, and corn on the cob. It was delicious! Adam has been wanting a grill for forever; you should have seen him putting it together. He was so excited :) And then, to celebrate the occasion again, we barbecued chicken today! Man, if you want delicious chicken, marinade it in some Carribean Jerk marinade and then grill it. Mouthwatering. So good!








We have been loving it this last week. It has been filled with so much fun including...

Having ourselves an oriental time!

Yesterday was date night and like I said earlier, Adam is one creative fellow :)

He decided to go all out and have an oriental themed date! He picked me up from work and I wasn't feeling to well so he brought me my favorite candy bar! Hershey's Cookies and Cream! Soooo good. love it!
Then we went shopping for ingredients for our Chinese dinner. I was so tired when we got home that Adam set up a little bed for me on the couch and we watched Spirited Away (but I really took a nap)
Then it was time for the fun to begin!
We got all dressed up like ninjas. Well kind of. And we did a Kenpo Karate workout! It was so fun! kicking and punching and pretending we were stealthy. We had tons of fun and burned lots of calories :) which is good because I don't think our dinner was super low in calories, even if it was a salad.







After our work out, we decided that we were pretty hungry. It was so fun watching Adam in the kitchen! He is quite the chef! And, he did an amazing job and organizing and cooking and having lots of fun creating a masterpiece! We made a Chinese Salad, which was SO GOOD. Chicken and fried noodles and almonds and sesame seeds, with lots of lettuce, green onions and a little cilantro. I loved helping him in the kitchen!




After our DELICIOUS dinner we played some oriental games (aka chinese checkers) and ate some Pocky (strawberry dipped of course) Yum! I had so much fun on our date! Adam is so wonderful :) he even surprised me with flowers the other day. They smell SO good!






On another completely random note, I applied for an internship yesterday! It was for a personal trainer at a gym called Anytime Fitness! I am so excited! I really really want to get the internship (its paid too which is nice). I emailed him yesterday and I have been checking my email like MAD. Its like waiting for Christmas morning to come when you're a kid and its only 9 pm at night on Christmas Eve... so painful almost. Hopefully he's emailed me now... I better go check.
