Day 24 Blog Challenge

Day 24: what in my purse. 

I already wrote about this in an earlier post and its the exact same. So I will tell you all about my Memorial Day weekend. 

I got pretty sick on Friday with a migraine. I got home from work and fell asleep for a while hoping it would go away but nope, I woke up and it was worse. I tried to eat something so I could take some medicine without getting sick but I couldn't keep anything down. My eyes were so sensitive to any light and walking made my head feel like it was going to explode! I hate these headaches. I have gone to the doctor for them before but can never get any answers. 

Saturday- thank goodness I woke up without the headache! I got up around 7:45 and headed out to spend the day at the lake with Shaliece and her family. Zach had to work. It was so fun and Zach ended up getting off early so he came down and we spent the night camping. All day Sunday we were on the boat. I love wake boarding and we even got to try wake surfing and I loved it! We got home around 9:30 Sunday night. 

Monday- we did some much needed yard work. It's nice to get that done but we still have lots more to do! We went and saw The Hangover Part 3. It was pretty funny.

Day 22 Blog Challenge

Day 22: bullet my whole day. 

May 20, 2013

-woke up at 4:45 am and went to the gym. Worked out my shoulders and did some cardio. 

- showered and got ready for work. Got to work at 7:15 am. 

- I have a schedule for eating throughout the day. When I get to work I eat a Greek yogurt and then at 9 I usually have a carb snack, today it was animal crackers. At 10:30 I eat fruit, today it was raspberries. 

- at work we usually bring left overs to share with a group. Lunch was at 12:30 and my favorite co-worker brought some yummy lasagna! I brought some left overs that I made in the crockpot on Sunday, it was a chicken dish and I didn't really like it left over so didn't eat it.

- I left work at 3 today because I belong to a Bunco group and it was at my house tonight. 

Bunco is a dice game played by 12 women. We meet on the 4th Monday of each month. Each of the 12 members take a month to host and they cook dinner for everyone and then we play the game. I enjoy it a lot and I am in 2 groups now. It's a fun night out with friends and you get to try everyone's cooking!

- I made pulled pork, a recipe from my dad and it was great! He is definitely a better cook then me but I try. I also made Italian pasta salad, baked beans and made a couple lettuce salads. It was pretty good and everyone seemed to like it :)

- I cleaned up and went to bed. It was a busy day!

Day 21 Blog Challenge

Day 21: a photo of something that makes you happy. 

I just love this picture!

And this always makes me happy. 

It is a picture of Lake Powell that Zach took the very first time he took me there. It is so beautiful there and I look forward to going again this year! 

Day 20 Blog Challenge

Day 20: the meaning behind my blog name. 

It was stressful to choose a name! When I made this blog that was the first thing I had to do and I had no idea what to name it. 

I made the title of the blog Mr&MrsSmith for obvious reasons. We will soon be Mr and Mrs Smith and this blog is mostly about me and also Zach. 

The website of the blog is kristagiggles.blogspot. I chose this because that is my thing, I giggle. Everyone will agree with that! I do it so much I don't even realize it but it always seems like everyone will point it out. I giggle when I'm happy or sad. It just always seems to come out of me. I always get called giggles as a nickname. 

Day 19 Blog Challenge

Day 19: another picture of myself. 

I took this pic at work today. I feel like I was having a good hair day :) love when that happens!

I will tell you guys about my birthday. I turned 24 last Tuesday. We went to Las Vegas for the weekend on the 3rd and stayed there until Monday. It was nice to spend time with my family for Mother's Day and my birthday. On Monday when we got home we met with a photographer and booked our wedding date, that was a weight lifted off my shoulders. 

On Tuesday I was really busy at work from taking a couple days off so it went by pretty fast. When Zach got off he came home and took me to dinner at Buffalo Wild Wings and we walked around Scheels after. It was a nice relaxing night. 

My sister took me to the Melting Pot on Wednesday. I had never been there before and it was quite yummy and a lot of fun doing the fondue. 

I got a lot of cash gifts because everyone knew I wanted some new cloths. I went shopping last weekend and bought some jeans and a shirt from H&M and some sweat pants, a jacket and some bras from Victorias Secret. I still have some money left and want to buy some shoes. :)

Day 18 Blog Challenge

Day 18: something I crave a lot. 

Zach and I went to Buffalo Wild Wings about a month ago for the first time. I am obsessed with Parmesan and with garlic so it would only be fitting that I order the Parmesan garlic wings, boneless of course. They were awesome! And I haven't stopped talking about them since. Zach took me to eat there on my birthday this past week and it was perfect. 

I also crave ice cream a lot. My favorite is Cheesecake Fantasy from Coldstone. It is cheesecake ice cream with strawberries, blueberries and graham cracker crumbs in it. We recently decided to stop eating so much dessert though. So I guess I am only gonna get this treat every once on a while :(. Wha!!! Haha

Day 17 Blog Challenge

Day 17: a photo of my celebrity crush. 

I just finished watching White Collar on Netflix so right now my celebrity crush would be Matt Bomer. He is pretty dang cute!

I really hope he plays Christian Grey in the movie 50 Shades of Grey! If not then I hope my other crush Ian Somerhaulder plays him. 

Here they are together!! :)

Of course most celebrities are good looking so here are some others. 

Zach Efron, Channing Tatum, Ryan Gossling, Cam Gigandet, Taylor Lautner, Ryan Reynolds, Kellen Lutz, Ian Somerhaulder, and Bradley Cooper. 

Oh and Joseph Gordon Leavit. 

Day 16 Blog Challenge

Day 16: a photo of you and your family. 

I love this pic!

My dad and mom and their hair! Haha 

I also love these pics, they were taken about 3 and a half years ago in St George, Utah. 

This is the most recent pic of my family together. It was taken October 2012 in Las Vegas, Nevada when my parents renewed their wedding vows for their 25th anniversary. 

My family is awesome, and I love them with all my heart. 

My dad has gone through more stuff than I can imagine and I look up to him for his strength. I have always been a daddy's girl and that's never going to change! I would do anything for him. 

My mom is the nicest person I know and will do anything she can to make you happy and laugh. She is so enjoyable to be around. When we are together no one can get a word in, we just talk and talk! 

My sister like I said before is my best friend and who I turn to for anything. She gives the best advise. 

My brother in law is a big teddy bear. He likes to have fun and is very honest. He will stick up for you all the time and I know he really loves cats even though he claims he doesn't ;). 

My brother is a punk but I still love him. He has lots of hopes and dreams and I hope that he will achieve them. 

Day 15 Blog Challenge

Day 15: something I don't leave my house without. 

I would say my phone and my purse. 

I don't have very many items in my purse. In my purse is my wallet, eye drops, hair tie, sun glasses, Chapstick, a flash light and a lotion medicine I sometimes use for headaches called Sombra. It works sometimes but does not take my headache fully away. 

I can't take a picture of my phone but it is an iPhone 4S. I love the iPhone!

Day 14 Blog Challenge

Day 14: a tv show you are currently addicted to.

The better question would be what show I am not addicted to. As I mentioned in my first post, I LOVE tv. More accurately, Netflix. No commercials and not having to wait a week between episodes... It is awesome and cheap at $8.54 a month.

This is a list of all shows I have watched on Netflix.
Prison Break, Lost, Desperate Housewives, The Secret Life of the American Teenager, Brothers & Sisters, Grey's Anatomy, Gossip Girl, Sons of Anarchy, Friday Night Lights, Raising Hope, Private Practice, Nip/Tuck, Vampire Diaries, Weeds, Breaking Bad, White Collar, Revenge, Hart of Dixie, Pretty Little Liars and The Lying Game.
I would definitely say I have gotten my money's worth, I have had Netflix for a couple of years.

This post is probably going to be very long. I will tell you about my favorite tv shows.

This is one subject I can go on and on about! TV haha!

The O.C.
4 seasons.
This is the 1st series I have watched on DVD and I loved it! Endless drama and relatable characters. I would say this is my favorite show to watch. I have watched every episode I would say 4 times, Zach just laughs at me every time he sees me watching it. My favorite character is Ryan Atwood.

Prison Break
4 seasons.
This is a great show! Every episode gets your heart racing wondering what is going to happen next. The 1st season was great, 2nd season good, 3rd season everything changes and its still pretty good but the 4th season is pretty boring. At least there is some good eye candy ;). My favorite character is Michael Scofield.

Weeds
8 seasons
I don't know why I love this show so much because I have never even seen weed other then on tv. But it is so dang funny and all the actors do a great job. Every season is great. I love that all the characters are the same from start to finish. My favorite character is Nancy Botwin.

Brothers & Sisters
5 seasons
It took me a while to get into this show but I kept watching. I love the whole family on this show. It is so real! A big crazy family who love each other so much but fight all the time. All the characters have such different personalities. My favorite character is Justin Walker.

Gossip Girl
6 seasons
This show is made by the same writers as The OC and it is very similar other then it is in Manhattan other then California. The people on this show are beautiful! The ending was stupid and kind of unbelievable when we find out who Gossip Girl is but I still loved every single minute of the episode. I can't pick one favorite character so it's Chuck Bass and Blair Waldorf.

Grey's Anatomy
9 seasons
Of course I have to put one medical show on here. They are addicting! This show is on its 9th season right now with only 2 more episodes left to air on tv, I can't wait to see how it ends! This show in my opinion has been on way to long but I will still be sad to see it go. I love this medical show because it is not always the same story every single episode. People live and people die. My favorite character was Addison Montgomery but they moved her to a spin off show called Private Practice that I also love so my other favorite is Mark Sloan.

Some of my honorable mentions are Friday Night lights, White Collar, Desperate Housewives, Vampire Diaries, and Nip/Tuck. I was equally obsessed when watching these shows but I would choose the others over these.

Some shows I didn't like as much but still watched. Lost, it was really good at first but got boring really quick. Secret Life of the American Teenager, really bad acting! And Sons of Anarchy, too much drugs and violence. I only watched it because Zach did.

I can't wait until Revenge, Hart of Dixie and The Lying game have more seasons on Netflix because I only saw the first seasons of those shows.
