Gabe's true Beauty

I found this website on a friends blog where you can upload your photo and find out what celebrities you like. I was pretty excited when I looked like some pretty women. So I decided to see who Gabe looked, maybe Brad Pitt, Freddie Prince Jr, David Beckham. Nope some old guy with a double chin. I LOVE YOU Gabe you don't look like him.......... a lot anyway.

I still love him though

I sympathize with all mothers out there who have, had or will have a teenager who won't get out of bed in the morning. I don't have one my self, just a husband who in many ways still acts like one. I love Gabe to death and one of the things that most attracted me to him was his youthful personality. I didn't however know that I would be the mother figure every morning nagging him out of bed. And then checking back every 10 minutes to make sure he really did get out of bed. We are late almost every Sunday for Church, of course I contribute to this a lot of times, but every week I could probably get ready faster if I didn't have to drag Gabe out of bed. Its like pulling teeth getting this boy up. Yet this morning his alarm went off at 5:00 or so and he was up and out the door before I knew it. What you might ask got him up and out so early? Work? Chores (yeah right)? Making me breakfast in bed?( he did though make me breakfast later) No he woke up at 5 to go and play basketball with the missionaries. Basketball no problem, church, getting me to work on time well that's another story. He also wanted to make sure he was up in time to watch the Olympic Basketball game on T.V. Last Saturday he even got up early to watch a basketball game. Too bad they can't play basketball before church starts; we would never be late. Probably not the best way to start off the Sabbath though. I guess I'll have to result to the old tricks like throwing cold water on him, ripping the covers of him and tipping the over the mattress.

How old do I look?

I work with a lot of older people, and many times I hear that I look to young to work there, that I look like I am still in high school and when they find out that I am married I have to constantly remind them that I am 24. Just the other day I had my hair in braids and a lady told me I looked like I was 10. Now I am know that most people don't mean it to be rude. But come on I'm a grown women and don't need people telling me I look like a child all the time. Here are few crazy things people have said to me in the past. Some times people just need to think before they speak.

My sister Lindsay and I, Lachelle and Preston all went to a fast food place once, I think I was 19 or so. As we were looking over the counter at all the toppings to put on our burrito the girl at the counter ( who was probably 16) was like "Okay who brought you all here because I know none of you are old enough to drive."

My junior year or so at BYU yes college. I was walking to to one of my classes book bag and all on my back. Some guy came up behind me and asked me what High School I went to.

On the plane to Ohio to get married. Gabe and I sat in the emergency row and the Lady came up to me and said I'm sorry you have to be older than 15 to sit here. (This pretty much happens every time I fly)

Two summers ago Gabe and I lived in an apartment complex in Ohio. They had a club house with a pool table. My brother preston and I were playing some pool, not being loud at all. The office lady came up to me and very rudely said. "Excuse me where are your parents, they need to be with you to be in here." I was like I live here with my husband. Then to try and cover it up she was like oh you look so young I'm sorry. I get that all the time too. (yeah right)

There have been many other stories too, but I can't really think of them at the moment. I know my sisters get it too and have some great stories of their own. Every one at work is always telling me how cute and little and young I look. Sometimes it would just be nice to treated a little bit more grown up. I did just turn 24. Like they all say I guess I'll appreciate it when I get older.

One Year Older, Hopefully Wiser, Definately not Taller

Well Saturday was my Birthday and it was a lot of fun. I wish everyday was my birthday because Gabe does what I want to do. We went swimming in the morning which was fun and relaxing, then came home and picked up the house a little. We went out for dinner with a group of friends and then had everyone come back to our house for games. It was a lot of fun. The best part of the day was having all my friends and family call me. I loved talking to everyone especially all my friends that I don't see anymore. Here or some pictures of my fun day, minus me in a swim suite.














This is Gabe with a Fo-Hawk, Since it was my day I got to tell him how to wear his hair. It made me laugh.














We went to a restaurant called Zuchini's, it has a great salad bar. Clayton, Ashley, Jeff and Karris joined us!














I made my own Ice Cream Cake. We didn't have any candles so one big one did the trick. It had a cookie crust and an Oreo cream cheese chocolate layer in the middle. It was amazing. I should start a cake company.














The Cake was so frozen that a chunk of the knife broke off in the cake while Gabe was cutting it. We let him have that piece. He survived.













We all played games including Mario cart, and buzz word... The boys might of beat us girls in buzz word, but one day we will rematch them and win. I am studying the cards.













The Bakers are so fun!!














Taylor is my favorite. He is so much fun. The first time he came over after about one minute he asked to go somewhere else, but then we told him we had cookies and since then he loves our house.
