TAG!

Passin the Tag Along...
What are your middle names? His is edward, and I don't have one!

How long have you been together? Three Years on NOV. 4th!!! (not married yet though) that will be on March 12... 137 days to go!!! YAY!

Who asked who out? Umm... His mom set us up so I'm not sure, but I just found out that back then before we had been set up on the date, she had a ton of the guys that we worked with (at our store in Layton and at the Ogden Hertz ask about me and ask if i was dating anyone...well, she really wanted James and I to go on a date, so she started telling them I was taken! hahaha! She finally admitted that and I think it's hilarious she waited so long to tell me, but I'm glad she made sure we went on the date!

Whose siblings do you see the most? Its even. We try to see all of our immediate family every weekend! Plus they are all younger so no one is moved away yet!

Do you have any children together? Nope, one day though, and we will be so excited for that! We have talked about having kids and getting married for a really long time!

What about pets? Definitely. We don't have any yet, but once we are actually married I want a small dog, like a tiny toy poodle (my family already has two and they are adorable, plus I'm allergic to a lot of other kinds that shed) James I'm sure will get some hunting dogs again (his ran away 2 summers ago :'( they will just have to stay outside though!)

Did you go to the same school? nope. I went to layton high and he went to Fremont.

Who is the most sensitive? I am... but there have been a few times where he has been a little teared up, but I have by far cried the most! haha

Where do you eat out most as a couple? We have a lot of favorites: Olive Garden, TGI Fridays, subway, panda express, tepanyaki, and mostly mine is Cafe Rio!!

Where is the furthest you have ever traveled as a couple? Umm... We went camping once to snowville i think... so only a couple hours away! hahah

Who has the worst temper? Probably me! haha. James is a very laid back person and not much gets to him, and when i get mad...well, its obvious, to him at least lol! (Its not ever me being mad at him, its usually traffic or something hahah)

Who does the cooking? That will definitely be me, unless it requires a crock pot or grill! (that or cereal LOL)

Who is more social? Him! He knows so many people its ridiculous! :) but I am more quiet, and I would choose hanging out just the two of us, over a group any day! (plus we only get to see each other on the weekends, so i like to have him to my self!)

Who is the neat freak? We each have our sides! hahah. Him: his truck has to be spotless! Me: I like a clean house and get grossed out by stuff being dirty (like the fridge)... lol on the other hand my car is a mess because i practically live out of it with my busy schedule!

Who is the most stubborn? I don't know... it would probably depend. I might have to say him though, but it could go either way!

Who hogs the bed? Not sure but when we cuddle on the couch he says I hog it... but I swear I'm like barely on the couch, hahaha! But to be fair I do hog the blankets in my own bed even though no one else is there to share them hahah i wake up with them like hanging off the bed on my side! lol.

Who wakes up earlier? Depends on the day and James' work schedule ( he sometimes works graveyards) but on the weekends he has to call and wake me up or I'd sleep in until like noon haha.

Where was your first date? Fazoli's and bowling at Sparetime! Then we cruised the boulevard in ogden and he held my hand... aww! :D Then, when he dropped me off we ended up talking on the phone til like 4 in the morning!

Who has the bigger family? Him by far! I have one brother, He has five! Same with our extended family, my family all only had at the most four kids... His they all had at least three kids

Do you get flowers often? umm.. not really. but its not always the same time that i do get them either, like not always on my birthday, sometimes randomly, and then when i got in my car wreck earlier this year.. so its always a suprise really, and i like that.

Who eats more? I dunno it depends, we have weird schedules, especially him. So its can go either way, but its about the same i guess.

Who sings better? I geez I don't think I have really heard him sing and I'm terrible hahaha so I don't think either of us are very good lol!

Who is better with the computer? Me! hahah... james doesn't really like to use it, except for looking on KSL, but i use it for school and work and for fun... he didn't even know what a blog was when i said i made us one! lol

Who drives when you are together? We take turns we live about 30 mins away(not too bad, but still a long enough drive late at night!), so we alternate weekends, or if one of us isn't feeling well, stuff like that...

Who picks where you go to dinner? We both do, neither of us are too picky, so it usually works out.

Who is the first one to admit when they are wrong? I don't know... we aren't married yet, and still in that "on your best behavior stage" hahah so we really haven't fought yet! haha plus we are mostly easy-going people so we just don't get into any kind of argument... lol

Who wears the pants in this relationship? He says he does... but all men think that,...but I think its equal ( i think its a macho thing! haha) plus when it comes down to it they want to make their wife/fiancee/girlfriend happy, so they don't really haha

Who eats more sweets? I don't know we each kinda go through a phase lol. one of us wants to go get ice cream for a date and the other doesn't and then we swap places! hahah

Who cries more? Me! James just won't in front of me, which I'm sure will change once we are married, and i think he would if we did ever get into a bad argument or something... and well I'm just a typical emotional girl!

What's your best day together? Just being together, visiting our families, being lazy and cuddling up to watch tv or a movie, having a pajama party after snowboarding! haha just anything as long as we get to be together we are up for anything!

Where did you honeymoon? (Haven't gone yet!) and not sure where , but I am voting so far for Vegas, because I want to see garth brooks! He just came out of retirement and so who knows if it will last and I'm dying to see it! hahah

Favorite date night? Same as best day together, adn really anything, but when he actually has something all planned out i love it, and just think its so sweet! :D

Couple I imagine us growing old like? My grandma and grandpa green! They have always been so much fun! they had us grandkids over for girls night, boys night, and kids' night, every year when we were all younger and we went on vacation alot together too. They are just adorable they met in junior high, were married by the end of junior year in high school and drive to school together as a married couple for senior year! hahah. so cute! Fifty one years later they are as cute as ever!

Engagements!

Well, last week we had Ciara Richardson (fancy bred photography) do our engagement pictures! It was such a blast, and I was worried I wouldn't know what to do or that I would look funny, but it was totally fine! James kept me distracted and kept me laughing the whole time! I have only posted a few but they are some of my favorites that Ciara picked to edit and put on her blog! I can't wait to see the rest!

(I have a few more favorites, but I don't think I can get them from her blog, the ones I have I was able to get because she tagged me in facebook! haha.)

Anyways, it was just so much fun, and made this whole engagement thing seem more real~ I mean I already picked my dress but its been almost three months since I have seen it and its being ordered so its not gonna be here forever! And...we have done a few more things, but I guess getting our pictures just made it feel like we were really making progress towards getting to our big day! :D

Last weekend we really didn't do much just hung out with his mom and youngest brother Gavon, the rest of the fam was hunting that weekend.

This weekend I'm off to see Thriller at the theatre in St. George thats supposed to be really cool. So, I guess that will be fun but I'm bummed I won't see James all weekend... I hate when that happens!

Then the next weekend is Halloween! I can't wait, we don't really have plans, but we usually take his three youngest brothers trick-or-treating. I also have the urge to make some kinf of cute halloween treat, I just haven't decided what yet!

Anyways, I'll post more pictures when we get them! I hope everyone had a good weekend, and we are almost to the next weekend! YAY! :D

I hate the Hunting Season!

So, james is gone this weekend hunting for elk! (my dad, brother, and grandpa also went on their own little trip to idaho and then got home last night to take off again today for the utah hunt) Anyways, i hate this time of year... they go on a boys only hunt and leave us girls here! I just hate having things occupy our only time together during the weekends, as a i have mentioned before! haha... Not that i want to go hunting, but just to be with him i might consider going and just staying at the trailor and reading all day with a nice cup of hot chocolate or something!

He says next year i can go and thats probably what ill do, just so i dont have to sit at home without him! anyways.. i know there are some other girls out there who know exactly how i feel about this weekend! hahah... but it sucks!

On another note, we might be getting our engagements done by Ciara Richardson (FancyBredPhotography.squarespace.com) this month! I'm hoping we can still catch some really pretty fall colors outside and I'm just so excited to get them done and feel like we can have something else done to plan our wedding! Maybe I'll even get super-motivated over the christmas break and make a scrapbook of our engagements~ that would be fun! haha.

oh and p.s. another reason i'm a little bitter James is gone this weekend is that last weekend was so insanely busy it just wasn't even relaxing... fun, but busy!

Saturday:

helped my mom take a apart the office furniture so she could stain it or paint it

ate some mac and cheese for lunch then went to his little brothers little league football game

went back to his house because he needed a nicer shirt for my friends wedding reception- haha

went to my house waited for my mom to get ready to go to the reception

went to the reception

went to dinner at iggy's- my mom paid for it to make up for all the moving we had done/and still had to do to help her with her project!

went to wal-mart bc she wanted to try and spray paint the furniture

went back and moved more of it into the garage

then finally relaxed for about an hour then the night was over.

Sunday:
