Are we going to see thousands of Cardinals fans stand up and do this next Sunday?
Maybe.
Because I never thought I would ever say the phrase “The Arizona Cardinals are going to the SuperBowl!"
GO CARDINALS!

The Lion King
For Christmas this year I bought my mom and my sister tickets to The Lion King. I had seen it once before when it came to Phoenix about four years ago, and I had been wanting to see it again ever since! Out of all the shows that I’ve seen, this one is my favorite. It’s the most unique thing you’ll ever see.
On Friday the day had finally come. Mom and Jennifer arrived around noon. I colored and cut their hair. Jennifer’s turned out so cute!
Then we all got ready and went to Paradise Bakery for dinner. We left from there to get to the show.
Needless to say, the play was absolutely awesome! We loved it! Here's a little taste for all those who are curious. http://disney.go.com/theatre/thelionking/#/home/Click on "Get a Sneak Peek" in the upper left hand corner, and it will show you a preview of the play.
A question...
Does anybody know how to make these adorable headbands? I've seen them on some of your daughters before, so somebody should know either where to get them or how to make them. I haven't found them in stores, and I was looking online tonight and I found some really cute boutiques, but $10 for a headband? I know... I'm super cheap. I'm thinking $5 or less is reasonable for me. Can anybody help me?
What The?!?
I was sitting in church yesterday morning when I started to feel sick. I whisper to Dustin, “I don’t feel very good.” He starts to rub my back and I try to pay attention to the speaker. Then I started feeling really dizzy. I sit up straight and take some deep breaths and whisper to Dustin, “I think I’m going to pass out.” He says, “Are you really?” and as I’m nodding, my hearing becomes muffled, I get really hot, but my skin is cold and clammy. All I can think about is getting to the bathroom and putting some cold water on my face. I turn to Dustin and say, “I need you to help me get to the bathroom.” We both stand up, and as we’re exiting the chapel, I run for the bathroom and I throw up.
What in the world was that? I felt fine that morning, I felt fine after Dustin took me home and I rested, and I am continuing to feel just fine! I looked it up in my pregnancy book and on the Internet, but the only thing that comes up for “dizziness and vomiting” is morning sickness. I’m 6 months pregnant. Not morning sickness. Also, I never got morning sickness (I know, I’m really lucky.)
Low blood sugar? I ate breakfast before we went to church. I had a bowl of Life cereal (my fave), so maybe that wasn’t the best, but it’s never made me sick before...
Stomach bug? Maybe… but wouldn’t I still feel sick?
Sometimes I can feel ill when I’ve eaten a lot of junk food. I did have a small burger for lunch and pizza for dinner the night before. But I also ate my healthy staples of crackers, apples, raisins and yogurt. Usually when I get sick from food, it’s when we’ve been traveling and eating out every meal for a while.
Dehydrated? No. I’ve been drinking close to a gallon of water every day lately. I’ve been really thirsty.
I’m stumped. I feel perfectly normal. The baby is kicking. She’s good too.
Does anybody know what this randomness could have been?

How I fell in Love With My Husband
You might have heard Dustin or I say that we have no idea how we ended up together. That’s true. We don’t have the regular relationship milestones. We didn’t have a first date, he never asked me to be his girlfriend, and our first kiss was well…not the best experience (because of me, not him-- but that’s another story). Dustin and his friend Vernon would come over and hang out at my college house (aka The Fire House). Vernon liked my roommate DawnSheree, Dustin was Vernon’s best friend, therefore Dustin was at my house all the time. We started out as kind of “cuddle buddies”. I didn’t think too much of it, because he had also cuddled with one of my roommates (what?!? yeah…again another story). Then we started kissing, making out, and being together more often. All the while never defining what we really were. My fault. I was young and got really freaked out whenever I thought about being in a relationship. I was in college now, away from my family, dating could lead to…gulp…getting married! So lets just say that went on for a really long time. We were “unofficially dating”, I tried to go on dates with other guys, we even broke up once (a hilarious story, but one I will never blog about).
Just for kicks, here’s some pictures of Dustin and I when we were first dating. These were taken 5 years ago. That’s right, 5 years!
It’s funny, because the two things that irritated me the most are in these pictures. That hat, and those ugly red pants!
During this time I went on a date with a boy named Jacob. Jacob was cute, and I wasn’t “dating” anyone right? So I went. (Why Dustin married me, after all I put him through, I’ll never know) Jacob had a really nice expensive truck. In fact, it was all he would talk about. He would talk about his truck and his goal to purchase a Hummer. He asked me if I wanted to marry a returned missionary. I said yes. He then went on a rant about why this shouldn’t be a priority for girls. I said how I realized that there are plenty of good guys out there, who didn’t go on missions, but it was just something that was important to me and it was on my list.
Ahh… “the list”. Does everybody remember making those in Young Women’s? I remember not ever being serious about my list writing, but four things always wound up on them. 1. He had to be funny. If he could make me laugh, I knew we would be able to make it through anything. 2. Returned Missionary. I wanted my future son to go on a mission, so his dad would need to be an example. 3. Goal oriented. I wasn’t going to be married to a burger-flipper. 4. Good with kids.
That night after I got home from this date, I remembered my list. Dustin’s goal wasn’t to buy a hummer, his goal was to go to ASU and get his degree in Graphic Design! Dustin served a mission in Argentina. He was good with kids, and most importantly—he made me laugh. Dustin’s first “love note” to me went like this:
Most roses are red,
But this one is yellow,
So shut up about it!
He had asked me to homecoming by filling my room with balloons and writing this story on four poster boards about how they had came to be there:
Roses are red, violets are blue. It would take my breath away (almost as much as these stupid balloons did while I was over at Vernon’s trying to blow them all up. In fact, I was doing it for so long that I started getting all light headed and crap! And once in the middle of the entire episode, I tried to stand up and fell flat on my face on Vernon’s bed. Then when I finally got up, I was soooo mad at the freaking balloons that my eyes went red with rage and I started popping them all! Then I was even more angry cause I had to buy more balloons, that I let the rage take control of me and I told those dang balloons, “You won’t like me when I’m angry!” And I turned into the Incredible Hulk and stormed over to Wal-Mart where I destroyed the party section seriously injuring and possibly killing 4 old women greeters and 1 young cashier (who was kinda hot) grabbed my balloons and ran through the west wall. Where to my surprise was 4 military tanks and 12 fighter jets. As they started to fire, I grabbed one of the tanks (after I had stuffed the balloons down my pants for protection) and threw it, knocking out the 3 other tanks. As the fighter jets started to turn in fear, I leaped out of the back of one, busted out the cockpit window and as I was brutally mutilating the pilot, the thought of you and your beauty came into my mind and calmed me down and I changed back into my normal self. The authorities then took me into custody and transported me to a sanitarium where I sat for 3 days until Vernon appeared out of a tunnel he had dug in which we escaped in Lance;s car. Then I realized that the balloons were still down my pants and still without air. So once again I began to blow them up. So after all that was over it came time to transport them into your room. This task proved to be most strenuous, and made me extremely angry, and as I said to the balloons, I now say to you- “YOU WON’T LIKE ME WHEN I’M ANGRY!”)
So—how bout homecoming?
So after remembering all this, I called Dustin and told him to come over. I told him how funny I thought he was and how I was so glad that he had goals! He didn’t quite understand why I was saying these things, but then we made out and everything was okay.
I wish I could say that it was smooth sailing from then on, but it definitely wasn’t. The Adversary knew how good we would be together, and he did his darn-dest to keep us from falling in love, getting engaged, and getting married. But we did. We don’t really know how, but we did!
And for all those who didn’t think Dustin had a soft side, here is an email he wrote to me shortly after he had proposed.
Hey sexxxy lady, just wanted to write you and let you know how much I love and appreciate you. You’re better than anything I could have imagined and more than I ever dreamed of having for a girlfriend, fiancé or wife. Thank you so much for everything. You make every day worth living and even make going to that job I don’t care too much for worthwhile. I love you more than I ever thought possible, especially the way my life was before we started dating! I want you to know that although I will never be able to give you everything, that I will spend the rest of my life trying to make you happy. Never before has my happiness depended so much on the happiness of another. You are truly a blessing from heaven and I will always be in debt to my father in heaven for having put you in my life, I love you, I love being with you, and I love who I am when that happens. Until forever…Dustin
Awwwww.
I love you too Dustin.

Purchases
I know I'm ridiculous, but can you blame me? Look how cute! Dustin and I went to the Mills Mall today and couldn't resist the baby outlet stores. The outfit on the left is from the Osh Kosh Outlet other three are from the Carters Outlet. Shopping for baby clothes is very overwhelming. Everything is so cute! How do you choose? We purchased these items today because they were a good deal. That's usually what decides it for me.
