One Hundred Push-ups

I was "blog stalking" and I found this cool challenge...

I read the plan and decided to go for it. When I told Ben about it, he decided that we should do it together! So it is now week 2 of 6 and I know this will sound lame, but I am already feeling stronger. I love push-ups because they strengthen not only your upper body (shoulders, chest, arms etc.) but also your entire core! My abs are definitely working when I do these. It starts with a test just to see where you are at and then gives you a plan accordingly. The goal at the end of the 6 weeks is to be able to do 100 consecutive push-ups. I started at 21 so hopefully I will be able to do the full 100 in 5 more weeks!

Picnik

So I played a little bit with a site called picnik.com and here is what I came up with:

I thought it looked pretty cool and it's actually really easy to do. I definitely need more practice though... Let me know if you know of other cool sites that help you edit photos.

Another milestone...2 years!

So it has officially been 2 years since I met Ben--and not to sound like a broken record, but the past 2 years have seriously flown by! The first time I met Ben was at my sister-in-law Kelli's softball game... thanks Kelli! It was sort of a group blind date....ish...thing. We knew that there were 3 guys coming to hang out and we had 3 girls including me and then my brother Matt and sister-in-law Kelli. As we were driving to meet the boys we found out that there were 2 guys named Micah and one guy named Ben. One of the girls was getting set up with one of the Micah's and the other girl and I got to choose which one we wanted...so to speak. I said that I had already dated 2 Ben's so I would go with the one named Ben.

When the boys introduced themselves, apparently I didn't tell Ben what my name was and he thought that I was a little stuck up! I still feel bad for that one. (Although in my defense, I remember that I just said my name once as to introduce myself to all 3 of them at the same time). As we walked to the cars to go to dinner, I found out that he was 24 and he found out that I was only 18! My mom flipped a little on that one... Luckily I turned 19 a couple weeks later. We went to dinner at Iggy's Sports Grill...which is pretty good and we have gone back to the same one a few times since then.

The last thing we did that night was bowling... I don't remember where it was...probably somewhere in West Jordan and I'm sure Ben could tell me, but we went bowling and I won! I don't just mean that I beat Ben, but I beat everyone! I am bragging a little, sorry... I thought it was pretty cool though. We also played a little pool at the bowling alley. To end the night, as I posted in the one right before this, I gave Ben my number and he texted me right away to see if it was my real phone number :). I sort of thought that he was a player and probably wouldn't ever call me, but a week later we went out again...and obviously that wasn't the last time. With Ben's, the 3rd time was the charm!

Happy 7 Months!

Can you believe it? We have been married for 7 months now! I feel like the last 7 months have flown by. Even though I probably should have done this on the typical 6 month mark...oops!...here it goes.

Things I love about Ben

We both love (good) Thai food and he

pretends to like it when I attempt to cook it.

I can totally tell if he's lying because he gets this hillarious look on his face.

He is my brain...If it weren't for him, I wouldn't be to half the things that I am supposed to

He wants to go to as many temples as possible.

He always knows the answers

to my questions.

He texted me right after I gave him

my number to see if

it was real :)

He has more confidence in me than I do.

He loves anything sugar.

Anything.

He tells me that I look cute--even when I don't.

He likes the same music as me...we jam out.

He is always willing to help me.

He likes to cuddle.

He lets me

steal the covers.

He lets me pick the movie.

He explains things to me when I have a blonde moment or two.

He washes my car. :)

He remembers the little things that I like.

He lets me buy shoes.

He does the laundry and the

dishes and cleans the apartment... I do it too

but it's definitely nice to have help.

He wants a scooter...haha.

He is going to be the cutest dad ever (not any time soon) because he loves to be one of the kids. He even ripped my parents' tramp...

He lets me decorate the apartment with lots of girly stuff.

He is dang hot!

He is my best friend.

I love you Ben...Happy 7 months and many more!
