Day 12: Something You Don't Leave the HOuse Without

MY PHONE!!!! Sad, but true. What happened to the day when I was defiant and wasn't going to get a phone because everyone had one?! Now I can't live without it!!!

Day 11: Favorite TV Shows

Um . . . . . another hard one since I don't really watch TV. Used to be a BIG fan of Lost until it got weird, Friends until it went off the air, Survivor until it became about playing the game instead of surviving, American Idol until the singers got weird, So You Think You Can Dance until it turned into only having professional dancers on the show, Gilmore Girls until Rory slept with her ex who was still married at the time. I do watch Wipe Out every now and then and America's Next Top Model, but that's about it. Don't really watch it since it's mostly filth on anyway.

Day 10: Something You're Afraid of

Um . . . . . thinking . . . . . . still thinking . . . . . . . nothing really. Is that pathetic or just weird? It used to be of never getting married, but now that I am married, not really afraid of that. Maybe miscarrying. That is scary. But that would be about it.

Day 9: A Favorite Picture of Your Best Friend

Can't beat having a sister as your best friend!!!!

Day 8: A Place You've Traveled To

ARGENTINA

I love to travel (ok, more like live in different countries), but Argentina has to be one of the few that most people can never say they have been too. Granted, it wasn't on my list of places to go to, but the Lord had a different plan for me and called me there on a mission for my church!! Best year and a half spent in my life!! Was more in the ghetto 2nd world country parts, but loved the people and their friendliness and happiness!!! It was also very green there which I ABSOLUTELY love!!! Would some day love to go back and visit!!!

Day 7: Favorite Movies

ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! Apparently, this blog challenge doesn't know me very well because I will pretty much watch any movie put into the DVD machine. I'll try to name just a few though. Here we go:

Wizard of Oz
7 Brides for 7 Brothers
Harry Potter movies
Disney (but especially The Little Mermaid, Mulan, and Tangled)
Sixth Sense
The Village
Triple XXX
The Pacifier
Any romantic comedy pretty much
Remember the Titans
Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief
Sky High
Lord of the Rings Triology
Man From Snowy River
The Mummy and Mummy Returns
Batman (the new ones)
Fast and Furious
and the list goes on and on!!!!

Day 6: Pic of Something That Makes Me Happy!!!

DUCKY!!!!

Day 5: Song to Match Your Mood

If I posted this when I should have, the song would have been "Who Needs Sleep" since I don't sleep well any more (bathroom breaks, cramps, tossing and turning) and am constantly tired. But as of today, it would have to be "Jingle Bombs" by Achmed the Dead Terrorist!!!!

The Rents

(Mom and Dad when they were newlyweds)

So my mom and dad have to be 2 of the coolest people I know. Ok. I think they are the 2 coolest people I know!!! My dad's name is Kent Delos (my grandpa got this name off a list of drunk guys who came in the hospital that night) Hutchings. My mom's name is Jeanie Marie Roth. My dad was born May 13, 1950 and my mom October 14, 1953. They met at BYU in the group International Folk Dancers and got married September 21, 1973. They have 9 BEAUTIFUL children: Cara Jean, 37, Alicia Ann, 36, Mindy Marie, 34, Chad Kent, 33, Amberlyn Brook, 31, Shaun Tyler, 28, Kelby Rand 26, Brendon Berc 21, Breanna Noelle, 19 almost 20. (Our family in much younger days)

They also have 12 beautiful grandchildren: Colton Ray, 10, Sterling Daniel, 9, Kayden Chad, 8, Ryland Kent, 6, Boston Cooper, 6, Dacie Ann, 4, Mikelle Amay, 4, Mccoy Daly, 3, Azure Snow, 1, Rhett Douglas, 1, Lekai, 9 months, Jade Marie, 2 months. (All but one of the grandkids at my wedding)

My parents have moved countless times (at like 15 if not more), been through at least a 12 jobs (just for my dad alone), 8 brain surgeries (for my dad), knee replacement (dad), prostrate cancer (dad), diabetes (mom), vertigo (mom), and breast cancer (mom), and yet they still find time to attend games, awards ceremonies, graduations, births, baptisms, weddings, and anything else they can manage!!! They have shown all their children what a strong marriage can be like and the true meaning of unconditional love!!! They are the 2 strongest people I know as well.

My dad: Has the sweetest, strongest testimony of the gospel of anyone I have seen!! He is the rock in our family!! He is the first one to suggest that family get together for whatever reason they can!! His face never shines brighter or his smile is never bigger than when he is surrounded by his family!! He has sacrificed his whole life for the well-being and health of his family. He laughs when we laugh, cries when we cry, is angry when we are angry, and is our number one supporter!! He rarely ever lets us see him in pain or hurt as he is trying to be the strong one for our family. And yet, he is the first one to tell a famous dad joke (his favorite is about his deaf dog. You should ask him sometime) or suggest something fun and crazy to do!!!(Funny daddy!!!)

My mom: THE STRONGEST lady I know!!! Has sacrificed time, money, emotions, and body for her family. She loves to dance and shares that whenever she can. Her body may not do the motions she can dream up anymore, but her mind still works and she teaches that to her children. Her testimony is just as strong as my dads, and never waivers, no matter what the new trial in life might be that she is facing!! She is also the funnest person to hug!!! She laughs readily and cries when her children do!! She is the most spontaneous one (first one to suggest TPing or chasing a car full of cute boys and getting a speeding ticket for it) and will actually participate as well!! Has had her fair share of physical ailments, but manages to keep a smile on her face!! She is our light and joy!!

(Mommy with her newly shaved head after chemo and with her youngest granchild)

My parents are a true inspiration and light in my life!!!! I don't know who or where I would be without them!!!(Mom and Dad now. Still as gorgeous as ever!!)

First Love

I can't believe I am actually writing about my first love. It has been FOR-E-VER (Sandlot quote) since I have talked to him. I did a little cyberstalking and got this pic off his wife's facebook (no I am not friends with her, but I am friends with his sister and she has his wife linked to her. Confused yet). His name is Geoffery Ethan Anderson. He is 31 (same age as me) birtdhay May 13 (sad that I still remember huh?!).
So you want to hear the whole dirty story? Ok. I'll give you the short and condensed version. Met him my senior year of high school doing a church play (his girlfriend at the time convinced him to be in it). We had a dance scene together and ended up playing a game to see who could hurt the other person more during the dance. After the play was over, he disced his current girlfriend and started dating me. We had been dating for 3 months before we admitted to being in love with each other. We went to BYU together the next year and spent our freshman year there together. That Christmas we decided we wanted to get married, so I got a promise ring. He then went on a mission for my church. For one whole year (the mission thing is 2 years long) we wrote faithfully and all was well. Then, for some unknown reason to me (never found out) he started writing weird and not soo nice letters. Finally, I gave up on the idea of marrying him and decided to serve a mission of my own. When I found out where I was going, I wrote him and told him and that was the last contact I had with him. When I got back (a year and a half later) an old friend of mine and his contacted me and in the course of our conversation I found out he had gotten married. Nice of him to tell me. Anywho, the above picture is of him and his beautiful family. I think they have 3 kids now, but not sure. I was young, but we were really in love!! I am glad that we each found happiness in our own ways!!!

Grandchild #13

So I know I just got married 2 months ago, but both Nathan and I agreed that we didn't want to wait to have kids. Luckily, Heavenly Father felt the same way!! We are now excitedly waiting for our first little ducky (and grandchild #13 for my parents, #1 for his parents) to be born on June 12, 2012. We had our first ultrasound today and got to see little Ducky(what we fondly call it) moving around and with a strong heartbeat of 171 beats per minute!! How one can look at the picture and not believe in a God or the miracle of life is beyond me!!! I am soo blessed and happy to be starting this new adventure in my life!!! I thought I was happy being sealed to by husband forever on September 2, 2011, but this is just icing on the cake!! I love life and all the blessings it brings with it!!!!

ENGAGED!!!

Story time: Once upon a time there was a tree. This tree had much history with Amberlyn Hutchings and Nathan Kleinman. One day, Nathan told Amberlyn he wanted to take a picture of her by the tree for his brother on a mission. Amberlyn gladly conceded. After the awkward pictures were taken, Nathan went to put the camera away in the camera bag on the ground by the tree while Amberlyn stood behind him and watched. Suddenly, Nathan swiveled around with a box in his hands. Amberlyn shockingly asked "Are you serious?" (as she assumed it was a joke from previous encounters with said tree). The reply was in the affirmative. To which Amberlyn covered her mouth and began to cry. At this point, smiling so big it almost jumped off his face, Nathan inquired "Will you marry me?" Amberlyn enthusiastically, although somewhat muffled, replied, "YES!!" When Amberlyn did not immediately remove her hands from her mouth, Nathan questioned, "Would you like me to put it on for you?" Amberlyn, speechless at this point, affirmed he could with a subtle head nod. After the ring was in place and a hug ensued, Nathan, rather quizzically, asked, "So was that a yes?" (Apparently proposing had caused temporary deafness) to which Amberlyn ecstatically exclaimed, "Definitely YES!!" The end.

The "fake" proposal for April Fool's day for my students. The story that I made up for this one was that he sent me on a scavenger and the last clue was: "Go to the spot where you first 'fell' for me." Story about that more in a minute. My kids totally believed this story and the ring, which surprisingly enough, looks very similar to my real ring!!!

So the story behind the tree; In March of this year (I think) after institute, I decided to climb a tree behind the institute building. I was wearing slippers so managed to slip out of the tree while trying to get into it. On my way out of the tree, I swung on a branch to help me reach the ground. Well, the branch was weak and I am heavy so it snapped while I was in mid air landing me on my head and back and knocking me in the head with the branch. Nathan and Kendra (his cousin and my friend) were there to witness the event. Thus the tree playing an important roll in the entire engagement saga!!!The Real ring and happy me!!!

Mormon Prom

So, there is this thing here in Arizona called Mormon Prom. Basically it's the same weekend as the Proms here in town, but it's geared towards Mormons, which means no inappropriate dress or music. My boyfriend's brother was going with a bunch of friends, but since they are all under 18 and the dance was in Flagstaff and didn't get over until 11 pm, which meant they would be driving after midnight, we got asked to be chaperones. I of course wanted to dress up, so away we went!! Formals and all!! It was an oriental theme and I'm sad that I didn't get a chance to take pictures of the decorations, but it was SUPER fun and SUPER late night!! How often do you get to get dressed up for formals after college anyway?!Pinning Nathan's boutonniere on!! He was scared I'd poke him!!

Soo awkward for him, soo funny for me!! His first corsage ever!!

Everyone survived the pinning!!The Lovely Ladies: Alex, Mashayla, ?, and AmberlynThe GQ Men: Cody, John, Joseph, and NathanThe whole gang!!! Nathan is shorter than me, but we made it so he looked taller!!

Gave the kids my camera and this is what they took!! The two lovebirds!!

My all time favorite picture of us soo far!!!

Proposal!!

Beach Bums!!

So, as part of my trip home this summer, my lil' sis and I took a trip to the beach!! Since there are no beaches in AZ, this was a perfect opportunity. Our parents told us about a beach with a shipwrecked boat on it, so we headed there. It only took like 2 hours to get there!! Not bad huh?! We had fun in the sun, sunbathing, swimming in the cold water with the dolphins, seals, and diving birds, building a sand castle, and hiking along the beach!! The adventure of the day was driving home and trying to find a fast food restaurant!! FYI, central California does NOT have any fast food restaurants for like 45 min!!!The beauty queens at the beach!!

The shipwrecked ship!!

"I shall call him squishy and he shall be my squishy"

I didn't know that humans could lay dinosaur eggs!!

Found cute baby footprints while walking along the beach

What we thought was the shipwrecked ship, but turned out to be just a cool ship.

Our sand castle complete with medieval walls and watch towers, wigwam houses, Stonehenge, and a seaweed flag!!!

I'm flying Jack!!

And flying is what I did!! Another BIG part of my week long trip home was to go skydiving. Breanna and I had made a plan that when she turned 18 we'd go skydiving, when she turned 21, bungee jumping, and 25 is base jumping. We have also added a trip to Greece when she graduates from college. We have such fun plans don't we?! :) Anywho, we ended up not being able to go skydiving over Christmas break (which is when her birthday is), so we made a plan to do it this summer. And do it we did!! My mom was freaking out (because of the video they make you watch before about not suing them if you die and the waivers you have to sign, and because the place was total hippy) and my dad was jealous. We told my dad if he lost enough weight we'd go with him again!!! We of course both opted to pay for the pictures and the DVD!! Sooo worth it. My jumping partners name was Blane and he was HILARIOUS!! He had a million and one "dad jokes", as we call them. Then when it came time to jump, he said he was going to count to 3 and then go, but went on one!! He also had fun spinning us around a million times and then spinning us after our chute was open while we were gliding down (which ended up making me nausea). We jumped from 14,000 feet and free fell for 2 minutes!! It was the best 2 minutes and $175 dollars I've ever spent!!

Total ECLIPSE of the Heart!!

The Girls: Breanna, Amberlyn, Ashley, a friend, Jenny, and Mikkelle

Waiting for the movie to begin!!

Surprised the theater wasn't full because the lines outside were CRAZY!!!

The sisters sporting our Twilight paraphernalia!

Our random gas logo we couldn't stop laughing at!!

Okay, so the title doesn't really have to do with the song,but it definitely has to do with the show. Thus the word Eclipse in big letters. I went home for a week this summer and one of the BIG reasons was to see the midnight showing of Eclipse with my little sister. It has become a tradition with us!! We go to all the midnight showings of the Twilight saga. She decided to invite some of her friends, which made it all that more enjoyable as they had fun screaming out and being young. We decided our favorite line is "Let's face it. I'm hotter than you." and that we would like Edward's personality on Jacob's body, so we're team Jacward!! They also had a fun question answer period before the movie began and had 3 couples come up and act out the scene when Edward first tell's Bella that he's a vampire!! Nana and I wanted to do it together because we would have rocked it, but they had to have a girl and a guy!! Boo!! The movie I think is the best one of the 3 soo far!! Excited for the 4th one to come out. The gas picture we thought was funny cause on our way home we stopped for gas and a gas truck with this slogan was printed on it!! Gotta love the randomness of it all!!
