me and my nook

Oh how I love my new nook that I got for christmas! I'm using it right now to update my blog. Now if I could only figure out how to get books on it. :-D

something to make your mouth water, and an update

Hello Blogger friends! Its been a crazy little while since I last blogged. Last time I blogged, I was sitting in the living room of our townhouse, and now I am sitting in my living room at the new basement apartment. Thats right, the big move has come and gone. In short, I really like the new place. The only adjustment we have really faced is going from 2.5 bathrooms, to 1. Other than that, things are great here. We moved on a Saturday with the help of great family and friends, and my saturday night I was unpacked, and my Christmas tree was up and decorated. :-D Work is going well for both of us. Rob was in a Mortgage training for the past two weeks, while I have just been busy at my job. Im excited for Christmas to be here, It will be fun to celebrate "Our First Christmas" Im pretty excited about it. On the other hand, having christmas pass, means the new year starts, and shortly after the new year I am going under the knife. I am super nervous. I have to get my gaullbladder out. I know it is a minor surgery, but I have never had anything like this done, I have not even had stitches...EVER. Needless to say, the panic is starting to kick in. On a happier note, I wanted to share a new recipie I got from one of Rob's Coworkers with all you blog buddies! They are super yummy chocolate Oreo Balls. They were really easy to make.

All it calls for is a package of Oreo's, an 8oz pkg of cream cheese, and a package of Andie's mint chips. You use a food processor to chop the oreos. then you add in the creemcheese, mix them well. Then you roll them out into balls and let them sit in the fridge until they are a little harder. Then you melt the chips, dip the balls in, and let them set on some wax paper. they are wonderful. I even took some pictures for ya ( a little documentation of my journey.) ENJOY

small update

WOW. It has been such a long time since i posted, atleast I did well for a little while. I have had a few people ask for an update, so I will give a short one. Work is going really well for me. Im really loving my job, and hopefully things will be getting even better. Rob is still at the same branch, and he really likes it there. Rob and I hung out with some of his co-workers the Friday before Halloween. His Manager does a Scavanger hunt around the valley, and I got to go along. I was really nervous because i didnt really know anybody and Rob was going to be at one of the locations scaring, so I went with a really cute girl named Jo, and We had a lot of fun. Robs costume was awesome! I wish I would have gotten a picture of it. He also dressed up in a different costume for friday at work. he did such a good job with his makeup. We finally found a place to move to, since our Lease is up in mid December. Its in South Jordan, and I am really excited to go there, but I am dreding, and semi-stresing about the actual moving part. We are hoping to move the first weekend of December, and Im praying the weather is on our side. I didnt think I could beat my 7 minute commute to work that I have now, But as soon as one of the roads open, I am looking at a 5 minute commute-tops. In fact, at work we just moved upstairs, and I can see the neighborhood from our windows. Its pretty sweet! Rob's old mission companion, and one of his best friends just got married, and since then we have hung out a lot with them, as well as 3 other couples. It has been so much fun! We are making a lot of plans to hang out even more. I got a new Camera, and I want to get into the photography business, so I have had a little bit of fun playing around with it. I have a new Blog for my photography, it is Carterographies.blogspot.com. Rob and I also got family pictures done with my family, I will put those pictures up soon! Other than that, nothing really exciting has been happening. Rob did end up getting 5 stitches in his hand today. He was at work getting some brownies out of a pan, and the knife won. :-( Other than that, we havent really been up to much. We are just busy with work, school (Rob), and hanging out with friends, Life is pretty great. I will try to be better at this, but until then......

TV for Me

I really hate to admit this, but I do like a few TV shows. I know I shouldn't like so much TV, but I do. oh well. That is life. The Shows I like are Greys anatomy, I have watched almost faithfully since the searies started. Rob and I love Criminal Minds. I think their job would be one of the coolest ever. I also may like Dr. Spencer Reid. He is probably one of my favorite Characters I have ever seen. and of course, I am a Gleek. and proud of it! I didnt like Glee at first, I thought it was weird, and then I really sat down and watched it, now I am hooked! I love all the music remixes. I will admit one or two of the characters drive me nuts, but the music is all worth it! So basically, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursdy I pretty have some form of entertainment!

Favorite Movie(s)

I dont know if I have a "favorite" movie. But I do have a few movies I enjoy watching, that I could watch a few times over. One (and these are in no particular oder) would have to be phantom of the opera. I love the music, and I love Gerard Butler.


Another favorite is The Prince of Egypt. Yes, I am 24 years old, and I like animated movies, I like the music in this movie as well (there may be a running theme here...)



Some notible mentions are: Shawshank redemption, 27 dresses, Sleepy Hollow, The Harry Potter Series, Remember the titans, A walk to remember, Rent, Dirty Dancing, The proposal, Finding Neverland, and Newsies.
