Tagged again! I just never seem to get a break...

I've been tagged twice in the last week (two different types of tags too), but Melody tagged me first, so here it is:

How long have you been together? 3 years, 9 months (only 5 months longer than when we started dating)

How long did you date? 3 months (engaged for 2)

How old is he? 25

Who eats more? Casey, but I'm hungry more often.

Who said "I love you" first? Casey did.

Who is taller? Casey

Who sings better? I do, but Casey loves to sing along to everything : )

Who is smarter? Overall, I think Casey is smarter, but it also depends on the subject.

Who does the laundry? We switch right now. He'll do it when I'm busier with work and I'll do it when he's busier with school/tutoring, but Casey does it more often.

Who does the dishes? Casey started empyting the dishwasher a few months ago, and I would load/wash, but it's back to me again. Casey despises doing the dishes. He'd rather clean the entire house anyday than do dishes.

Who sleeps on the right side of the bed? I do. Casey always likes me on his right side.

Who pays the bills? We're in the process of switching all bill paying over to me for when he starts working full-time.

Who mows the lawn? We don't have one.

Who cooks dinner? Me, me, and me. We would either starve or eat out all the time if Casey was in charge of dinner : )

Who is more stubborn? I am, but Casey is pretty stubborn too. Even when he is wrong he still argues with you until you start doubting that you're right. He says sorry first almost all of the time though.

Who kissed who first? He kissed me first

Who asked who out? Technically, he asked me out on our first "date," but I wasn't very happy about it being a date at the time. We didn't start really dating until after he kissed me a few months later.

Who proposed? Casey

Who is more sensitive? Me, if sensitive is synonymous with emotional.

Who has more friends? Casey. He is one of the most loyal friends I've ever met.

Who has more siblings? I do (7 to his 3)


I tag: Janelle, Joanna, Kerstin, Tracie, and Jenna.

2nd Anniversary of My Blog!

Wow, time flies! It's been two years since my first post, and it was one of the best things that I've ever done. I love to blog and it has been an online journal of the last two years. I especially like looking back at all my previous posts and seeing what we've done. Thanks to Jason for getting me started and constantly nagging me for months until I finally put up my first post : )

On another note, today is my nephew Brady's 1st birthday (Happy Birthday Brady!), but it is also Mardi Gras!/Fat Tuesday. Now, I know we're not Catholic, but after Fat Tuesday, they celebrate Ash Wednesday, which is the first day of Lent. During Lent, they give up one thing for six weeks. I figured since I've given up drinking soda for almost a year now, that giving up something else for 6 weeks would be nothing. I decided to give up fast food. We don't get fast food that much as is, but that's what I decided to give up. Casey is following my lead and giving up soda. What would you give up for six weeks?*

*It doesn't have to be food related

"Big Boy!"

This is my latest pregnancy update. I'm now 32 weeks (only 8 weeks left!) and I had another sonogram yesterday. I don't remember if I mentioned this before, but when we found out it was a boy, the sonogram also showed him a week ahead of schedule, so my doctor said that if I went into labor around the 22nd of March (my due date is the 29th), that I shouldn't be surprised. Yesterday, the sonogram showed him 2 weeks ahead of schedule. One of things he asked me was, "what are you feeding this kid?" What do you say to that? Fruits, vegetables, whatever I'm eating at the time. I don't know. So apparently we have a big boy on our hands or I'm a little off for some reason or another. The good news about all of this is he may come two weeks early all by himself or if I'm ready, the doctor will induce me in my 39th week. I was perfectly okay waiting, but I wouldn't argue if I got to go a week early : ) As Casey and I were talking about our "big boy," I couldn't help but think of one of Casey's favorite commercials. It makes him laugh every time. Enjoy!

During my sonogram, while my doctor was taking some measurements, I started feeling a little lightheaded and was pretty close to passing out, so I told Casey I wasn't feeling so well and Casey was like, "ummm, doctor." The doctor then told me to quickly lay on my left side. Because I was on my back and the pillow underneath me was flat as a pancake, I wasn't getting enough oxygen to my brain (the reason you shouldn't sleep on your back). It took me a few minutes to feel normal again and my doctor kept apologizing for making me sick. After my appointment, we went to Wendy's before I took Casey to school since he hadn't had breakfast yet. As I finished my not so good breakfast sandwich, I still wasn't feeling very good and Casey knew what was coming, so he said I had better get to the bathroom. I didn't quite make it and it ended up all over the Wendy's bathroom floor. Casey wanted to leave it as a "surprise," but I told the lady at the cash register. She didn't speak very good english, but understood enough that she didn't look too happy. I felt so bad, but it was only the second time that I've been pregnant and couldn't make it to the bathroom in time and made a mess. That helped me feel a little less guilty.

Christmas Fun!

These are a few pictures from our Christmas vacation. We went up to Casey's mom's this year and had a great time. We also stayed a little bit longer than everyone else, so we got to do some fun things like going to see The Pittock Mansion, with each room decorated in different fairytale themes, and the Spruce Goose, which is the biggest plane ever built (but was only flown once for less than 30 seconds). Here are a few of my favorite pictures.

It was a rainy day, and I think I had a more fun taking pictures outside than inside : )

The Spruce Goose

Open Wide!

I feel like everyone has been leaving me in their blogging dust lately, but I'm attempting to catch up this weekend, so here it goes. This last summer, Nate graduated from dental school and is now a full-fledged doctor. Casey thinks it is so weird to know that his brother is known by his patients as "Dr. Tanner." Anyways, while were up for Christmas break, we went to the dentist to get our teeth cleaned. Nate did a great job! Thanks!

Me and my totally awesome glasses that they had me wear. It was for my own protection. I wouldn't want a stray piece of plaque to find it's way into my eye : )

Nate and Casey looking at Casey's x-rays. Casey being the curious person that he is, was very interested in this and asked a lot of questions.

Cougars Reloaded

This is the 2007 Football Highlight video and I bet you can't guess who is in it? Hint: It could maybe, possibly be the person that went to every home game, 3 of the away games, the bowl game, and is one of the biggest Cougar fans ever. Yep, it's Casey! You can't miss him either. He is in the highlights for the BYU v. SDSU game twice (along with my brother), but there is one part where Casey is yelling "Go Cougars!" and he is definately the center of attention. I'm so glad I got the DVD for him for Christmas, so he can always remember the good 'ole days : )

Where did that come from?

As you can see from the picture, I'm pregnant and we're having a BOY! We're so excited! I'm due March 29 and in this picture I'm 27 weeks. The reason this is my first pregnancy post is because we decided early on that it would be fun to wait until people (including our families) saw me and could tell before we told them I was pregnant. My family found out at Thanksgiving and Casey's family found out a few days before Christmas. It was really fun keeping it a secret and I think it made the time go by faster. I feel great! I'm almost 29 weeks now and I have really liked being pregnant. I think it is so amazing to have a little baby growing inside me. I've especially enjoyed it when he kicks, which he does all the time. Casey calls him our "little field goal kicker" : ) I've also been lucky to have quite a bit of energy, so life has been pretty normal and we've been able to continue doing a lot of the things we enjoy. We feel very blessed at this very special time in our lives and are anxious for the arrival of our little bundle of joy : )

Pioneer Las Vegas Bowl

Wow, what a game! Actually, as Casey likes to say, "It went from the worst game to the best game in 3 seconds." It really was pretty boring until the last 3 seconds, but I guess thinking you're going to lose can do that. Casey wanted to end the seasson with a bang, so we delayed going to his mom's for Christmas a few days and road tripped it down to Vegas with Richard and Kevin. It was cool to go to a bowl game since we don't know when we'll be able to do it again. It was REALLY cold, but we were on the 11th row in the endzone and we won, so it was worth it. Thanks to Kevin's brother for getting us the tickets and to Richard for driving.

The final score. A win is a win, right? Bronco and our trophy Casey rushed the field immediately and I eventually made my way down after taking a few pictures. Casey and Kevin think we're #1, but Richard for some reason thinks we're #2 : )

A first for Casey...shoveling snow.

After the BYU v. Michigan State basketball game in SLC (that Casey waited in line for 4 hours to get us front row tickets for), it started to snow A LOT. When we got back to Richard and Rebecca's, there was quite a bit on the ground and on their driveway, which Richard started shoveling, so it would be clear for Rebecca's car. Then Casey said, "Let me see that," and took the shovel from Richard and started shoveling, and we found out that it was his first time. It took him no time at all and he looked so cute doing it : )

BYU v. SDSU

Casey's third away game of the season. He had been trying to get someone to drive him down to San Diego for like a month. My Dad and Jonas were nice enough to drive down with him the last minute and he took Kevin along. Janelle and Garth had some extra tickets left over for Garin's brithday party, so he also had the tickets. Since there was nobody there though, they moved to the front row and switched sides after each quarter so that they could be on the side where BYU was scoring. Thanks to my wonderful dad and brother for driving him down (to my mom for letting them go) and Garth and Janelle for the tickets. He had a great time and we both really appreciate it!

Let it Snow! Let it Snow! Let it Snow!

I guessed it would start snowing on December 4th and Casey guessed the 5th. While Casey was in San Diego enjoying better weather and the game (Dec. 1st), I got to enjoy the storm that rolled through and brought the first snow of winter, so we were both wrong on the date : ) A lot of it melted after, so it wasn't too bad, but then it snowed again today : ( I'm just glad the ugly brown mountains are covered up. The last two pictures are the gutter next to my work. The water had frozen in them and created the neat looking texture/patterns.

BYU v. Utah

What a game! What a game! Definately one of the most exciting games this season, especially the last few minutes. I'll admit, we were a little nervous at 4th and18, but Max Hall and Austin Collie pulled it off for their Cougars. Then Harvey Unga just put the icing on the cake as he bowled through a few Utah players for the final touchdown. We ended up winning 17-10. I just love college football and will definately miss the excitment of home games once we're gone.

Jonas, Me, Casey, and my Dad. We were so glad they could come and enjoy such a great game with us.

Casey after he rushed the field. It was pretty much his dream day : ) He even touched the MWC championship trophy.

Thanksgiving!

I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving because we did. We spent it with my parents, brothers, and Casey's cousin from Pennsylvania, and had a grand 'ole time. It was nice to just relax and sleep in. We also played games and my mom and I made my Christmas cards. We left late Friday night after watching the BYU v. Louisville basketball game, and to make sure that we made it back with plenty of time before the BYU v. Utah football game. Thanks to my parents for a wonderful Thanksgiving break filled with fun and food.

Some of my mom's decorations. She always does a great job!

The table all set for Thanksgiving. Doesn't it look beautiful? My mom got out the china and everything.My Mom and Dad checking the turkey. The got the recipe from Food Network and it was delicious!

The food...

...and fun! This is a back machine my dad got forever ago. It sure is fun to play on.
Casey's cousin Malcolm. He just started his freshman year at BYU and we love having him here. He is so sweet and takes Casey and I out to lunch with his dining plus when he has extra money, which is pretty much every week : )
Darts. My sister got this dart board for my dad and it is so much fun!

My Mom and I making cards. They turned out great! Thanks mom!

Intramural Football

Another season of intramural football has come and gone. Casey says it is his last, but when you're a coach with an 18-3 record, I think you should give it one more try : ) They had a really good team this semester and the last few games were really exciting. Unfortunately they lost in the semi-finals, but it was good while it lasted. I just love watching him play sports. Cheering him on is one of my favorite things to do.

Morgan running with the ball. He was one of the fastest players on the team.Casey's second biggest fan. She absolutely adores him and even says his name.
Casey's eye. He probably wishes he could say he got it in a fight, but he actually ran into Richard as they were both rushing the quarterback.
A few days later and the black and blue comes out. I felt so bad for him.
