The Bachelorette

So I watch The Bachelorette and I need to vent about it. I can't believe Wes is still on the show. Basically this is my first season watching the Bachelorette and I am totally sucked in! I really like Jillian she seems very genuine, funny, down to earth, and real. I like the way she is going about things. She doesn't seems to have unrealistic expectations, and she knows what she wants. She has narrowed it down to 4 guys and 1 of them is a huge jerk and I can't believe she keeps picking him. I totally don't understand how he can keep being such a punk when he knows that Jillian has genuine feelings for him and he doesn't have the same feelings. How can he keep using her? Why are some people so heartless? This week Michael got kicked off and I liked him so much. I guess I can kinda understand why she kicked him off, he is pretty young and she wants to get married and start a family pretty fast, but he was crazy about her and they seemed compatible. I just don't understand why you would want to keep a shady bad boy over a guy who would be so nice to you because he is truly in love. Ugh, I hate this show because even though it is reality TV I am so hooked and I am just getting so attached....UGH! I just want a happy ending!

Father's Day

For Father's Day, which was also Tim's Birthday, we went to my Family's house in Folsom. It was really nice being able to come back, I really missed everyone. Abella was a lot less shy around Tim which was really nice. As soon as he came home she kept calling him Timmy. No one calls him that but it was so cute hearing her say it!! She kept saying "Happy birthday to Timmy, happy birthday to Timmy" over and over and over again...haha. Abella just couldn't get enough hugs from him, it was so cute! The whole day was a lot of fun, we were able to play lots of games and eat lots of good food. My mom made each Father/Birthday Boy their own cake. So there was a yellow cake with chocolate frosting, a white fruit cake with lots of strawberries, and boston cream pie cake. They were all so delicious!! After we ate cake my dad opened the present we got him which was a fire pit to go out in our backyard. It is really cool and we used it that night. We roasted marshmallows and played a camping game. It was a lot of fun to have most of our family together, it is really nice being so close to my family!!

Chanel

Have you ever longed for something knowing that you will never get it? Right now I am longing for this Chanel perfume. It is the most amazing perfume I have ever smelt. I think the fact that I will never own it makes me want it even more. The only way that I will ever own any is from the mini samples that Nordstroms gives me. Oh how I love Chanel Chance Eau Fraiche.

Tim's Birthday

On Sunday it was Tim's birthday! He turned 27!!! Tim doesn't really get a lot of free time during the summer. So this year we planned on doing a BBQ and playing games with a few other couples who are working with us this summer. It is really hard to plan things during the summer since I never know when Tim is going to be done with work but luckily he got home at a decent time on Saturday. We BBQ'd shish kabobs and they were really good, but the weather was pretty cold the whole time we were outside.


After eating Nick and Tim were trying to see if they could stick a whole cupcake in their mouth. For Tim this is a common occurrence, this is basically the way he always eats cupcakes (and Krispy's) but for Nick it was a lot harder because he has a very small mouth.

I think the highlight of the night was a unicorn Pinata that Matt and Jessica brought for Tim. It was so much fun watching Tim try and break that thing! We had to improvise a little with it though. We hung it outside off of the stairs at our apartment complex and the neighbors probably hate us now! We also had to use a shower curtain rod instead of a bat and a blanket as the blind fold. When he did break the pinata a lot of the candy broke also.
Since it was so cold we wanted to get inside fast so we went back to our apartment and played apples to apples. It is such a fun game especially with a big group, we played for about 2 hours. That game is just so entertaining! One quick side note, I ended up with the most green cards -which is a good thing-, I pretty much blew everyone else out of the water. Not like i'm competitive or anything I just thought you should know how good I am at that game....sometimes.

Although the BBQ and games were really fun and everything worked out really well (Thank you Danielle!!) I think Tim's favorite part about his birthday was the present from his Mom. She sent him Tiger Woods Golf 2010 for our Wii. I know he is so excited about this game and will become a pro at in no time, which essentially means he probably won't go to bed until about 3am for a couple weeks till he is a pro!

Late Nights

Since I still don't have a job (UGH!). A couple days ago I went through all of my photos on my computer and deleted a whole bunch of random pictures to free up so more space on my computer. As I was looking through all of these pictures I realized how many pictures I have with Mary! We always took the weirdest pictures and it was always so much fun!!! I thought I would post some of these pictures just because....


PS we didn't know those guys, Mary convinced them to take a picture with me. We thought they looked very interesting in their greaser outfits, they were just hanging out in the In-N-Out parking lot.


Yes we would go out in public wearing these outfits, mostly just to Dairy Queen in Rexburg.

I sent one of these gothic pictures to Tim when we were first dating, i'm surprised this didn't scare him away.


Sorry Mary if I embarrassed you by these pictures, I just couldn't resist.

I miss my niece

I went home to visit my family about two weeks ago. Jared came home from his mission! I spent a little over a week there. Most of the time I just played with my niece, Abella. Every time Tim and I go home to visit she is always so shy around us but since I stayed for so long she was no longer shy around me, it is so cute because she talks TONS! So Abella calls me Panessa, it probably wouldn't have stuck except that Jocelyn totally encouraged it and now i'm pretty sure Abella really thinks that is my name. Basically what happened is...My mom has a picture of me on her fridge and my picture is in a Princess frame, so whenever my family would ask Abella who was in the picture she would say princess ness and I guess one day it morphed into Panessa. So instead of Jocelyn correcting Abella she encouraged her and now I am Panessa. I miss Abella and sometimes when I am bored I want a baby also, but that is probably not the best reason to have babies....
