Who should have to pay??

I took my car in to get the inspection done yesterday. It passed, thank goodness, but when they called to tell me it was done, they told me that when the worker tried to open the door, he broke the door handle off! I couldn't figure out what they meant. I got there and the owner came and talked to me and told me he would order the part in and put it in for us. He said that he would do whatever he needed to make us happy with the payment part. I paid for the inspection. The door handle alone is about 65.00. We have not noticed it getting loose or being even close to breaking and Brandon just barely waxed the car and I think he would have noticed a crack or something loose. It is an 8 year old car, which I know stuff like that happens. I think the guy was trying to open the door with it locked and yanked on the handle just a little too hard and it flipped back and cracked it off. am so bummed.. I really don't have the money to be paying for a freakin door handle as I can barely afford groceries and gas! SO, my question is... who should have to pay for this? Them? Us? Half? Let me know what you think!!

4 Amazing Years!

Today is our 4th Anniversary!! It has been the best 4 years of my life. It seems like it should be more than 4 years because I can't imagine life before we were married and life without Brandon! We have learned a lot, experienced a lot, grown a lot and gone through a lot, but I am so glad that we were able to do it all side by side and hand in hand! I love Brandon more than anything and so glad that I get to be with him FOREVER!
I kind of wish that each year on our anniversary.. we could re-live the day again the exact same way!! I know that it wouldn't be the same feeling, but I LOVED, LOVED the day. That was one of my FAVORITE days in my whole 26 years!
I love you Brandon!!

BEES

Brandon and I went to the Bees game with some friends from my work and my cousin Brittney on Thursday night. We rode Trax so we wouldn't have to worry about parking. It was a lot of fun and the game was super cheap!! 3.50 each--can't beat that! Brandon took his little radio and listened to the Celtics/Lakers game the whole time and was giving everyone around us the updates. Brandon said it wouldn't have been any fun if that game wouldn't have been going on! I did what girls do best and talked the whole time and people watched! We had a blast! Brandon looks like he is on a date with a million girls.. no.. there was another guy there, but he is the one that took our picture!

sick in the summer?

The last couple mornings I have woke up with a dry yucky throat and could feel a sore throat coming on. I have to make sure that I am really sick before I say anything to Brandon or I will have to go DAYS without kissing him! He will not kiss me if I have even one sign of sickness, so I usually try to hold off as long as I can. I have been loading up on amoxicillian, vitamin c, and tons of orange juice along with my vitamins, but this morning I woke up and had a really bad sore throat, so I finally had to tell him. BUMMER!! Now goes the drought of no kissing! :( I hate that! How is a girl supposed to go without kisses? How is it that I can go through all winter without catching all the crap going around and never getting sick to once it finally starts to warm up and be summer I get a dang sore throat?? AGH! I am thinking I might take off work a bit early today and go rent some chick flicks and watch them and sleep and be lazy for a little while!

The Papa!!!!

HOLY CRAP!! We are supposed to eat all of this?

This is to try to show how big it really is compared to our hands.

Feedin the baby!! :)

We went and helped my Dad move into a bigger apartment this afternoon. Afterwards we went to get some dinner. We all got a pizza to just share thinking we would barely have enough for all of us. We had no idea it was going to be this big!!! It is 23" (THE PAPA). We were freaking out because we have never seen a pizza this big! It had a good 20 pieces in it and each piece was at least a foot long (as you can see from Matt's picture). I am still so sick and so full and I only ate one piece!! I don't think the picture does it justice. They said if we can finish it, they would take our picture and put in on the wall and we thought it would be no problem.. now we know why there aren't any other pictures on the wall!! :) We barely ate half of it and had to box up the rest of it for leftovers which will feed us all for another meal!!

This last picture Hadlee thought it was cool that we both had jolly ranchers and she kept showing it to me on the tip of her tounge.

NO GARLIC!!

For those of you who don't already know.. we don't eat much garlic! Anything that I cook, I leave the garlic out of it, because Brandon HATES garlic. He can smell it from a mile away and even if I eat something that has a tiny bit of garlic in it.. he can smell it on my breath!! He won't eat the bread at most restaurants because they all have garlic and.. try finding meals at restaurants that don't have garlic in them! He was runined on his mission when his companion made a
"garlic surprise" for dinner that made Brandon sick for days! :) My family and others usually make Brandon his own little dish of food of no garlic if they are using it! And I thought I was picky!! haha.. jk.
We went to dinner at the pizza factory with Matt, Elise, & Cohen and Brad, Emily, & Macey over the weekend and while we were waiting, we noticed this saying on the wall. It says "A CHEF WHO USES GARLIC NEVER FAILS" in Italian. Brandon strongly disagrees!! I had to take a picture of him by it!

hike with scouts

Brandon went on a hike with the scouts on Saturday to Dog Lake (Cottonwood Canyon). Brandon is really enjoying being in the scouts. He said that they hiked most of the way in snow and the lake had about 6 inches of slush on it. He was excited to be able to go out and hike again and I am glad I didn't have to go! :) . Although we are planning a little hiking/ camping trip later this summer with our friends..hiking in and camping overnight. I am actually kind of excited to go on that. I hope I am in shape enough to make it! I have wanted to go camping for A LONG time. In the 4 years that Brandon and I have been married.. we have NEVER been camping together--he has all the gear.. we have just never gone! NO.. that is not Brandon in the cowboy hat :) , that is the other leader!
