Twisted words= a Compliment??

There I was sitting at my desk at work when one of my photographers came to check in with me… when talking about a scary story I did the surprised face.

Then he said “Amanda, you have really big eyes”.
“Oh, really? I never have thought that,” said Amanda
“But they go with your big body and big head” said Photographer

SHOCK!!

“Wait, wait… I ment that you are a larger that normal woman so your eyes look good on you. You see my wife is really small… oh well” said Photographer.

I surprisingly enough wasn’t at all offended. I just laughed and had to tell everyone I know. Amazing how some boys really don’t know how to talk to women at all!.

Also funny:

Earlier today the one of the little boys I babysit said “why is your hair like that?”
It was in a half pony tail.

“To keep it out of my face” said Amanda
“It looks funny” Little boy.

Loose Teeth Vintage Inspired Sundress with Petticoat GUEST GIVEAWAY!!!!

I think i was born in the wrong era... 20's 30's 40's anything but 2000's (its ok but I want to be fancy!)

Race for the Cure

Thats right... i did run in the race for the cure.

Imagine 18 thousand other people running with you.

I was more toward the front of the group when we began... then we came to a hill and i walked up it (I know pansy) and i saw about a thousand people run past me.

But don't worry down hill was very motivating.

While I was running, I was tearing up. There were so many people who were running in memory of a mother, sister or best friend and I just can't handle sadness. I tried not to look at the little kids.

Kyle was cute and came down. i left him at the starting line. It took him longer to find the finish line... than for me to run 3.2 miles! But in his defense... he did see Kyle Korver and was probably really excited.

M is for Mark... and Married

Thursday May 7th 2009

Here is how our crazy day went

8a- alarm goes off

8:15a- Ky and Doll get out of bed... Doll gets in the bath (the shower bugs)

8:30a- Ky eats breakfast while watching sports doll turns on the blow dryer

9a-Doll eats breakfast... Ky gets dressed

9:15a- Doll uses the blow dryer yet again... curls her hair and attempts makeup and dressing herself... Ky is picking up the front room

9:30a- We run out the door heading down town

9:38a- We get down town and underneath the conference center

9:39-10:10a We are driving around looking for a parking spot. every single level was full!

10:12a- we get above ground... drive behind the conference center... Doll kicks off her hills and we run to the temple

10:19a- We are sitting in the temple for the 10:20 sealing!

Amazingly we made it.

After the marriage we went on a tour of the Conference center and may I say that is a blessed building. I definatly felt the spirit many times.

Only problem... we had a hard time finding the luncheon... because we thought we were on 500 North... when really we were on 500 south. Woops!

Reception was a little cold... but it was fun to see some friends!

This is our cute niece Jane... Kyle and I just can't get enough of her... and when we do, we get strict instructions to not excite her too much (by throwing, turning upside down, etc...)

Kyle looks hot in this picture... and his grandparents are adorable...

Brazilian Fun

Kyle and I had the funnest date night.

It was really just going out to dinner… but with two goofs like us it was hilarious.

We had a $50 gift certificate to the Braza Grill (Kind of like Tucanos or Rodizio) and it expired on Tuesday. Unfortunately we didn’t have time to use it until Tuesday.
Well I get off work at 8 usually. I left at 7:45 and the plan was to meet Kyle at the restaurant that closes at 9p.

On my way there… Kyle calls… he locked his keys inside of the house and himself out. Oddly enough I took a different freeway than usual and I was on the opposite side of town. No way would I make it clear up to the U and down to the restaurant in time. I told him to call the police.

The U of U police came and let him in… I sat in the restaurant alone for about a half hour but we made it! We were both so silly the entire night. Kyle made his food into faces… and kept explaining to me what kind of veins and fat and other tissues the meat were… while I teased him for being a baby and not trying the alligator or wild boar.

Great date! Great night!1

By the way the alligator was awful… bacon wrapped chicken wonderful!!







Gotta love this face!!
