Happy Halloween!

Some REAL fun!

Last night we went with my little brother and his wife to the REAL soccer game in their new stadium. It was a really good game! REAL won 3-1 over FC Dallas. I enjoyed watching Mike get into the game...I think that it brought back a lot of memories for him of when he played soccer.

A lot of fun was had on our Saturday night outing!

4 Years

After 4 fabulous years, I still consider my self the luckiest girl!

Happy Anniversary Love!

Forever Strong

Last night I was able to go to a premier showing of this great show.

And of course we were able to see a few famous people at the theater like:

Russell M. Nelson

Sheri Dew

Carole Mikita (news reporter off of Channel 5 News) and her husband Niel York (BYU History Department) and one of their daughters

Britani Bateman (actress off of The RM) and her husband J Bateman who was the composer for this movie

And of course there were other people from the movie that were introduced before the movie began...the director, the real coach which the story is based from, the coach that plays the coach, and many others.

It was a great movie and I'm sure that Highland High here in Utah is going to be popular from the movie. As I was watching the credits in the beginning and also at the end, I noticed that my friend's parents names were listed in helping with the movie. It was great to realize that I know such a famous family such as the Sivertsen family. I HIGHLY recommend this movie...so go see it!

P.S. Thanks Lisa for being our "inner" connection!

Going into the Trenches

On Saturday September 13th we were able to borrow a trencher to do the trenches for our sprinklers. We were able to do the majority with it, but there were still some trenches that had to be dug out manually. With the help of the Lewis parents, Scott Reading, and Jeffrey Reading, we were able to get it almost completely trenched.

Then throughout the next week the Reading men slowly worked on starting to put in the sprinklers. On Saturday September 20th we worked out in the yard putting in sprinklers from 7 o'clock in the morning until 6 o'clock that evening...and we still weren't done. We are still slowly working on doing the final work such as putting the sprinkler heads where we want them. It is a work in progress though. Thanks to all that have come and helped us so far!

Just My Luck

I have no idea what it is with me and state cars, but we just don't get along sometimes. Today I had yet another incident of a flat tire like I did previously. I was driving on the freeway and got off on 45th because something didn't feel right. I pulled into a gas station near the car wash and walked around the minivan. Low and behold, a flat tire on the back passenger side! I looked up towards the gas station and saw the most glorious sight...not one, not two, but THREE highway patrol cars with men in them. I walked up and asked if one would help me. It's not like I can't change a tire, but I thought that I might as well utilize my resources. Two of the officers came over and started helping me. Then from across the street at another gas station an Incident Management Vehicle saw us and came over and help. With the help of these three "Good Samaritans" I was back on the road in about 10 minutes. I think that I've had my share of flat tires for the next few years.

Tag - I'm It

So, I was tagged a while ago by my favoritest Marcie and I guess it's time to respond.

Here are the rules:

1. Link to the person who tagged you. Marcie
2. Post the rules on your blog.
3. Write six random things about yourself.
4. Tag six random people at the end of your post by linking to their blogs.
5. Let each person know they have been tagged by leaving a comment on their website.
6. Let your tagger know when your entry is up.

1. I LOVE to drive in the rain! I love the rain. I love driving. And combining the two is just pure therapeutic for me.

2. I would rather read silly romance novels or young reader books than read any novel that makes me "think" or that is a biography of any sort. I'm all about reading fun stuff to "escape" from reality. And yes, since my last name is Reading I do love to read (since people ask that now and then).

3. I owned approximately 75 movies prior to getting married. Thanks to working at Blockbuster for 3 summers and knowing the sales coming up, setting movies aside to buy later, and getting employee discounts.

4. I afraid to donate blood. I would love to help others out by donating, but I didn't have a good experience in college. I tried to donate while at Ricks College, but I ended up passing out three times before leaving the chair (once while donating, and then twice afterwards). Not so good! And I was sick for the next day too and missed some of my classes. I do have a picture with my roommates afterwards to prove that I did try to donate.

5. I kind of have a new hobby that I do once in a while...refinishing furniture. I've refinished my Grandma Lewis' rocking chair, my dresser that I had growing up, and a garden bench. The next item I want to work on is the vanity dresser I had growing up. I've found that refinishing furniture is frustrating and therapeutic. I slowly work on the projects, but am pleased when they are finished.

6. I kind of have this fetish about having my personal space clean and organized. Like in my office I hate having piles of papers on my desk or floor. And at home I generally like to have things picked up and my counters clean. If you saw me as a youth and as a child you would not think that I am a "clean freak," but I am one now to an extent. I guess it all has something to do with having it be "your" place.

Now that I'm done racking my brain about this, I think that I will just let people read my post and not tag anyone. So, consider "all ya'll" to be lucky!
