Catching Up

I have been terrible recently at updating, but I started working for my dad again and I'm busy at work now! Its a miracle! I don't have Internet at home yet, so I have gotten behind... yes, I am posting Halloween pictures even though Thanksgiving is next week... but life gets crazy.. as I'm sure you all know. I'm going to see Twilight in a few hours and I'm excited, but I'm not expecting much! Then Jed and I are off to the State football game Alta vs Bingham... it's going to be an awesome game and it will be so fun for Lauren to dance. And of course... BYU UTAH tomorrow!!!!!! I'm excited... ........Anyway- Here is my update, and I will try to get better!

Dessert at the Melting Pot for Amy's Birthday... it was sooo amazing. I've never been there before but I want to go back and try the dinner menu!

Halloween party at Amy and Marks house.... the Raggedy Ann and Andy costume was awesome!

JD as the most hilarious POOH bear that I have ever seen! Boston as Buzz Lightyear and Syd as Tinkerbell. Grandma Jo made her costume and it turned out so cute!

Jed and I didn't buy anything for a costume so we went as the Basketball and Baseball players. Very original I know... and yes, I am wearing a WJ uniform, but I am a Hawk and don't you forget it!Me and Lauren after her dance performance trying to be Gangsta.... sorta

Last Weekend

This last weekend was a lot of fun! On Friday we went to dinner at the Blue Iguana with Mark and Amy, Cook and Alex, and Brady. Jed got a HUGE burrito that makes me sick thinking about it... he ate the whole thing which was shocking, but I was proud. After dinner we drove up to the place where you can look out over the valley (make out point?) and were up there for a few minutes. It was a pretty view of the valley, but too many cars were parked up there. We're all old married people, so after that we all just went home. On Saturday, I asked my mom to meet me down at Trolley square to do some Christmas Tree Ornament shopping (I'm so excited to decorate my tree!!!) and go to Spaghetti Factory. Of course Pottery Barn didn't have their Christmas stuff out ( I had a couple of gift cards there) so we spent most of our time in Williams Sonoma.... which is my new FAVORITE store. My mom and I could stay in there for hours!!! I limited myself to only buying some cake pans, but there were so many cool gadgets I could have bought them out! After lunch, Lauren and I went to Thriller with the drill team and It was so much fun!! We had a blast! Here are a few pictures from the weekend....

After the Show Lauren and I took a picture with this guy... If you zoom in close to the picture, his makeup was awesome! We had so much fun!Spaghetti Factory with my Mom and LaurenLook out point and the view over the valley (Its behind our big heads... we took the picture our self)This crazy guy was miming across the street when we were at a stop light so Jed called him over and gave him a couple dollars and I took a picture.... You probably had to be there to get the humor.The Blue Iguana after Jed ate the entire burrito... I wanted to go to Benihana but I was out votedJed on one of his last bites from the burrito. It took up that whole plate and was probably 6 inches across and 6 inches tall. I can't believe he ate the whole thing, but you can tell he isn't feeling very well at this point. At least he won the free dessert!Brady, Jed and me at dinnerCook, Alex, Amy and Mark (the other half of the table)You can kind of see how big the burrito was.. Jed had already eaten most of it at this point

Highschool

Sara Tagged me AGAIN-- But this time I refuse. I didn't like highschool (even though I regret a lot about it now... and I wish I could do it over) but I agree with Elisse in saying that those were simple times and I did take them for granted. Plus I don't have any pictures on my computer of those days, so if you want to see a picture of me in highschool, look at Elisse's blog. For those of you who know me well know about my highschool years so we don't need to bring them back up :)

On a happier note, everyone check out my video and photography company with my good friend Jared from Highschool. Check out www.customfitt.com and www.customfitt.blogspot.com! I'm really excited to have something fun like this to do, so let everone know about us! We do everything.. Weddings, Family Portraits, Seniors, you name it! Take a look at our blog and let me know what you think (the website is up, but still under construction) . Thanks guys!!!

Tag! You're it!

Sara tagged me... so I guess I will do as she asks and answer the questions....

Six Question Tag

1. Six places that I go over and over: Work, Home, Gym, My moms house, Olive Garden, and Target (there is a hole in the fence from my apartment to Target, so I go there ALL the time because I always am missing just 1 ingredient for a recipe)
2. Six people who email me regularly: Mom, Dad, Joanne, Sara, People at work, all of Jed's Family (they send me forwards a lot)
3. Six of my favorite places to eat: Olive Garden, Benihana, Texas Roadhouse, Cafe Rio, Zupas, and Thai Siam
4. Six places I would rather be right now: Considering the cold weather.. at home in bed with a lot of blankets, Cabo San Lucas, Hawaii, at a funny Movie, any where with my Husband, or on a cruise. I've never been on one, but I can't wait to try one!
5. Six people I think will respond: Probably no one? But I tag... Amy and Amy, Annie, Amber, and Terra... everyone else I know who blogs has already done it!
6. Six TV Shows I watch: Greys Anatomy, The Office, Desperate Housewives, Arrested Development.. I just finished all 3 seasons and It was hilarious! and my guilty pleasure TV Shows that Jed hates, One Tree Hill and The Hills

Six Quirks About me:

1. I CAN NOT wear brown and black together. Its like a sin to me... however, Stacy and Clinton say this is ok since they are both neutrals, so its ok if you do it, but I never will.
2. I love Pickles. I eat them all the time! I wonder what Im going to crave when Im pregnant!
3. Im missing half my top lip due to a bad sledding accident when I was 3. Very bad memories, but luckily you can't tell unless I point it out
4. I can't stand the sound of people picking their nails... ask Jed. He is at the top of my list for offenders of this rule.
5. I love yummy smelling things in my house. I have a very large collection of candles, and now I have a large collection of Scentsy Scents. I usually melt a candle in our room, have a candle burning on the dinner table, and have my scentsy melting in our living room. All at the same time. that may not seem like a lot, but we live in an apartment and all those rooms are about 10 feet apart... but I still do it!
6. I have to sit down to do my makeup or stand and inch away from a mirror. I don't know why, but I can't use a normal counter and mirror for this. Most mornings I take my makeup bag out to my car and put my makeup on out there before I head to work... that way I can get super close to the mirror and I'm in natural light.. Im sure my neighbors think Im crazy... but who cares! It works for me :)

Lauren's Dance Performance

Lauren Performed her Drill Team's Dance routine at the Homecoming Assembly today and Elisse wasn't able to make it so I recorded it for her to see. I am posting it on here because I have no other way for her to see it... It isn't the best quality, but if you're interested, go ahead and watch! Lauren is on the front row on the right (something us tall Bonan's have never been able to accomplish!!!) when the dance starts and you just have to follow her from there. I'm so proud of you Lauren!!! Carrying on the Drill Team Tradition... :)

Lake Powell 2008

Jed and I went to Lake Powell this last month with our friends Mark and Amy and their Family. It was a lot of fun! I've never been to Lake Powell before, so it was a new experience for me, but i really enjoyed it. We spent the whole five days boating and eating and more boating. I don't have a lot of pictures from the trip because my camera died after only a few pictures. The most memorable moment on this trip definitley was when we were down a canyon wakeboarding and we ran out of gas! People had been down this canyon with us all day.. until we ran out of gas and we were stranded. We all jumped in the water and a few of us took turns hooking the boat to our life jackets and pulling while the rest either pushed and kicked in the back or took turns paddling with the one paddle and knee board that we had. We actually made a lot of progress like this and after two hours, we finally found a house boat that let us borrow some gas to get home. Thanks Mark and Amy for inviting us! It was a fun trip!

We all hiked up to these Indian Ruins in the middle of the day. It was cool to see the houses they used to live in, but it was so hot! It made for a more difficult hike than any of us thought!All the friends that were on the trip.. Me and Jed, Mark and Amy, Andy Cook and Brandon Marchant. Andy left his wife home working so Brandon came to fill in the extra spot.
The view over where we hiked from to get to the indian ruins. Beautiful view!
Jed showing off his mad skills wakeboarding! He is getting really good at jumping the wake, and he even does a board grab now!

Jen and Abe's Sealing 9/9/08

My Cousin Jen and her Husband Abe were sealed in the Rexburg Temple yesterday. My Mom was already up there, so Lauren and I drove up together right before the ceremony, went to the yummy dinner, and then drove back. It made for a long day, but I'm glad we went! It was nice to see all my cousins and family!
