Thanksgiving Vacation

Josh and I drove to California and it was a ton of fun! It didn't go by too fast and we got to spend a lot of quality time with family.

My mother-in-law taught me and my sister-in-law Shannon how to make a few of the secret Brecheisen Christmas candies. They are amazing. And we pretty much ate them all on the 10 hour drive home yesterday. Even though its REAL candy and it actually tells your body that you are full of sugar and don't need anymore...we didnt stop.
On Thanksgiving day Shannon's husband Dug brought his music equipment and they made a rap that is Saweeet.
Click below to listen!!! And try to ignore the "AVS MUSIC DEMO" lady. I have spent hours upon hours trying to get this song straight on my blog....and i finally figured out how to change from an MP4 to an MP3. so soooo-ry!!!!

MySpace Playlist at MixPod.com

I'm pretty impressed...I don't know bout you.

I woke up at 5 AM on Black Friday...but found nothing!!!! So disappointing. oh well.
If you haven't been by the site CakeWrecks.com... You definitely need to. I laugh so hard every time I go there. I've been looking for Wrecks in every bakery I pass, and I finally found some way good ones in Elko, NV. I just submitted them so if she says some CCC's from a Carly B. you know its me!
Happy Holidays!

Twilight

All the shrieking and clapping during the movie when a new character came in was really starting to tick me off. I couldn't hear some of the stuff they were sayin! Don't read this next part in the purple if you don't want to hear my opinion.
I absolutely LOVED this movie. Its definitely my favorite movie. I have never seen a movie that brought out so much emotion in me. We are going again to see it tonight! I think they did it as close as they could to the book...some of the stuff was different but it was good still. It reminded me so much of the times when Josh and I were engaged. Thats when I started reading the books. I would laugh, cry and gasp while telling Josh the important parts. He really enjoyed the movie as well. I pictured Charley overweight, but loved this skinny character. Oh...and Robert Pattinson actually grew on me, big surprise. I cant wait for the next movies!! I hope they make a movie about the Host too...but...its seems in order for it to be good it would have to be EXACTLY by the book. I dont care if it's a 6 hour movie, I'd actually prefer that.

At the theater they had the "Cullen family" posing for pictures. I walked up, "Um, can I just get Edward and Jacob?" All the girls go "yupp.." like they'd heard that a million times. Well who wants a picture with random girls that dont even look like cullens?? At the time of my asking "Rosalie" was on Jacobs motorcycle with him. And Alice was pLaTinum bLond. That doesn't make sense does it? (there is a motorcycle behind us)



And also I'd just like to say I would like to be Stephanie Meyer's friend. Not because she is rich, but because I cant believe how incredible her books are and the way they make me feel. I think she and I would get along great. I'm sure everyone else feels the same way.

Many people say they are ashamed at how obsessed they are over Twilight but I am proud to say I am not ashamed. I love my husband as much as Bella loves Edward. They will be together forever and so will Josh and I.

The Barbie Post!

This was a really fun experience. We collected only four barbies to be recycle but gave 200 barbie bags away. Mattel teamed up with Waste Management for the first time to try out recycling Barbies. The new Barbies made would then be donated to children's hospitals.


Michelle (her blog is on my friend list ---->) is a pro photographer and she came to take pictures of me!! Thanks Michelle! http://michelle-wilsonphotography.blogspot.com/

A couple of my favorite parts: A little boy was in a cart with his sister and was sooo overly excited to see me (more so than his sis)! Every time he'd pass by he'd go "Hi Barbie!!! What's your name, Barbie?" And I just kept saying "My name is Barbie what is your name?" And everyone around would start laughing.
There was another girl probably around 9 that just walked straight up to me and was about 5 inches from my face just fascinated. I would ask her questions like "whats your name?" or "what are your plans for today?" or "I'm so glad you came to meet me!" to try to wrap things up, And she would just give me a one word answer and just keep staring into my eyes. It was sufficiently awkward. Josh jumped in and started quizzing her on what kind of Barbie I was and by then her Mom was calling her away. Phew!
There were a couple people I scared really bad because they thought I was a life-size doll from afar, but when they were walking past me and I moved they jumped and go "Oh I thought you were a doll!!!"

Josh was there, but he was walking around shopping the whole time....He decided he wanted to buy a PS2 and Guitar Hero "World Tour". So we went last night and got it. Early Christmas for us. So we have Michelle over for dinner and we are all rockin out! We are hardcore.

Random thoughts

Josh and I are ward missionaries. Josh is pretty stoked about it but I can't bring myself to agree!!! That is horrible to say, but I just am so far outside of my comfort zone. I know it'll make me a better person, and it's something I really need to get more comfortable doing. Thursday nights are the nights we go out, so I am super nervous all day about knocking on random people's doors and getting weird reactions. However, The Office is also every Thursday. All in all Thursdays are good days. Being a missionary isn't as hard as I thought, and usually it's fun, but I still get super nervous every time.
On Tuesday Josh starts coaching Volleyball for 16-year old girls. That is so exciting for him and it'll be tons of fun. Life is getting more and more hectic but no complaints here! Josh's work is starting to really pick up and he is doing really well selling his stuff. We are actually very blessed because he is able to sell to almost any industry. As long as they need paper and need to make copies! I love my husband so much and couldn't imagine life without him. He holds so many qualities I wish I had. He bears his testimony nearly every month with confidence. I wish I were a good public speaker like him. I wish I had the confidence to march up to a stranger and start talking about our great church and how they should look into it. ;)

pictures of our new baby

awwwww...idn't he cute?
Should I make a book just like the one on "How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days"?

And please steal this, I want to see your digital baby too...

80 things about me

Things you may not know about me...

6. I love to work, and always have. I also wouldn't mind being a stay-at-home mom someday.

8. I absolutely hate when people talk about politics, in person or on TV. I think most people's sources of information are hardly reliable.
9. Josh and I got into an argument about politics just now because he read #8. He thinks it should be important to me but it's not really.

May The Force Be With You

Now we don't have any cute kids in costume yet like the rest of you...
But we threw these little numbers together last minute.

And because we don't have kids yet, I know my blog isn't as cool as any of my pals on here. Everyone has their kids in the cutest costumes and they say the darndest things. I look forward to the days I can post awesome things like that to remember. For now I post about my man so you will know just about everything but his social security number ;)
Oh, and contrary to what the picture above looks like, I am not pregnant.

On Halloween night we went to "The Howl" which is a big dance party up at Utah State University. It was a ton of fun people watching. But about four or five times a Star Wars Nerd would stop us and say "Hey, Princess Leia never had a light saber!" Like they were hurt because I was being disrespectful or something. My most common response was "Well I have one!" and then I'd draw my saber and point it in their direction.
