Anniversary

So for those of you who didn't think we'd make it...well hope you didn't lose much on that bet, but here we are...one year! :) It's crazy to think it's already been a year since we got hitched! We had a good day. We both got the day off and slept in!....that was nice after opening the whole weekend. After we had breakfast a knock came at the door which was weird...no one comes to our house. I looked out the peep hole and saw a HUGE bouquet of flowers! So I opened the door and it was Shannon who Carson works with...I thought, "Why is Shannon delivering flowers to me?" come to find out, she makes flower arrangements. Wow she did a good job! The house smells so good! We went to see the movie Benjamin Buttons. It was pretty good. Then we went to PF Changs for dinner. Yum! What a good day. We look forward to many more joyful years together. Love you Cars!

Christmas

This was our first Christmas as a married couple and it was quite a busy day but it was also really fun. We spent the morning with the Cullimore's and then made our way back down to Orem to spend the afternoon with the Swensen's where we got to talk to Rob who is serving his mission in Spain. We were so glad to get to talk to him and spent two hours on the phone with him. Later that evening we went back home where our presents from eachother waited to be opened. I got Carson a BYU decal for his car, a nice jacket, movies, etc but the best present was a new pillow! He didn't have a very good one so pretty much every night he thought hewas sneaky and would take mine....so now he doesn't have to do that! :) I got a super cute pea coat and Carson surprised me by framing a picture his grandpa gave us which I was having a hard time finding a frame for. It was a really good Christmas.

Quantum of Solace

For those of you who don't already know.....I am a huge James Bond fan. I grew up watching them and I try to see them all on opening night.

Quantum of Solace, number 22, came out today. I was impressed with it. While I did not think it was as good as Casino Royale, it tied up some loose ends from Casino Royale and was thoroughly enjoyable.

Election '08

After a few months of back and forth I have finally decided on the presidential candidate who will get my vote.

The Happiest Place on Earth!!!!

We have spent the last week at Disneyland. We went down there with Rachelle's family. We left last Sunday and drove to St. George where we stayed at her grandpa's winter house. We made the rest of the journey on Monday.

We made it to Anaheim at about 3 on Monday and spent that evening at the park. We pretty much hit all the rides we wanted to in Disneyland and California Adventure. We got to eat at the Blue Bayou(the restaurant on the Pirates of the Caribbean ride). It was a good time. My favorite ride was probably California Screamin'. Its an awesome roller coaster. Overall it was an enjoyable week.

We made it home last night late after a long drive home.

Pioneer Day Parade

Due to some undisclosed connections we have stumbled across, Rachelle and I got to be in the Days of 47 Parade through downtown SL. We had a very important job, make sure the float doesn't hit any small children. Enjoy!

If you look carefully you'll see us walking along either side of the float.
