day one: a recent pic of yourself and 15 interesting facts about yourself.

Here's a bonus pic..33 weeks today! =)

Hmmm...

15 Annie facts:
2 brothers. One sister. Two nieces. Love them to death!

I've never had to get stitches/surgery{unless you count getting your wisdom teeth out as surgery? eh i'm not} in my life. That might change though within the next month and a half. Having a baby....ouchie!!

I grew up{in Murray UT} in the same house all my life until I moved out for college after H.S.

The sun/light makes me sneeze. And I love sneezing! So i often find myself staring into lights and up towards the sun{not directly of course} when I feel like sneezing =)

I have only burped a few times in my life. Trust me..I wish I could burp!! I just hiccup 24/7. It's like my body's way of burping but definitely not as effective. Tyler's working on teaching me how to burp. It would relieve so much uncomfortable indigestion!

I got my first cavity ever after I got married. I don't know if that's saying anything..I might've gotten a little more lazy about brushing before bed? What can I say, there were better things to be doing ;)

I failed my driving test twice before finally passing it 5 months after my sweet 16 =( It was a rough time haha. In my defense though, I took drivers ed through a private organization since I was old for my grade{turned 16 before my sophomore yr of H.S.} and they were sticklers!!!

I don't like deep water. Deep, dark, bottomless holes like these scare me to death!!! You couldn't pay me enough to get near this thing.

I've seen one too many injuries due to water sports therefore I am not a big daredevil when it comes to boating{complete opposite of Tyler}. Borderline wimp actually. I will add that I have water-skied, wake-boarded, gone tubing etc. I just don't enjoy it that much because i'm too deathly afraid of the rushing water under me.

I love smelly goods and smell everything. I've always been ultra sensitive to smells so having a heightened sense of smell due to pregnancy didn't feel like much of a change to me. Now days I find myself constantly wrinkling my nose/gagging{or the opposite saying something smells good} and asking Tyler if he smells that. His answer is almost always no.

I LOVE that fresh laundry smell. Tyler still makes fun of me..but I used to love to nuzzle myself into fresh warm laundry out of the dryer. I say used to because we can't afford the smelly good laundry detergent that I love. Otherwise I probably still would clothes-dive into our fresh laundry!

I love brushing my teeth and washing my face in the shower!

I love animals{dogs mostly}...would've been a vet if I could handle the death part of the job. I cannot watch an animal die/get hurt in a movie. Cannot handle.

some favorite foods are sushi/japanese food, taco soup, tomato artichoke creamy pastas, cafe rio sweet pork salad, anything involving cheese, sour cream, cilantro or peanut butter.

I ate a whole Cadbury chocolate easter bunny all by myself..after Easter...in one day. It was divine.

Recently just got my first smart phone..I am amazed at such technology.

15 Tyler facts{according to annie with minimal Tyler input}:
3 brothers.1 step brother. 1 sister. 2 step sisters. two nephews.{we're adding the first granddaughter!}

Tyler has never broken a bone in his body! Tyler loves acrobatics, tricking, flips, twists etc. So i'm very surprised that he has never broken a bone...if you don't believe me just head on over to our FB page and check out our vids =)

Tyler has never had braces. Lucky butt. But has had many other tooth problems. {Hopefully, our children get my genes in the cavity dept.}

Ty never has to wash his face for perfect skin. {this is where i hope our kids get his ridiculously clear skin genes}

Tyler was born and grew up in Houston, Texas until he was 5.

Tyler's dad passed away from leukemia when Tyler was only 5...after that his family{5 kids total} moved back to Utah.

Ty's never changed a diaper in his life. But only for the next month or so will this be the case.

Tyler's a computer nerd and loves technology and learning/teaching himself new computer programming languages.

He only loves one thing more than me...and that's peanut butter ;) Haha jk..but sometimes I wonder...

He has this weird thing about smelling things...he won't EVER smell mine or anyone's hands. Like if i'm ever like "Oo my hands smell good! Smell my hands!" He won't get within 2 ft of those hands your trying to stick in his face. Ha he's super funny/weird about it.

some of Tyler's favorite foods are peanut butter{duh}, anything authentically mexican with hot sauce, black beans, queso fresco and sour cream. Anything from Cafe Rio.

Tyler's favorite soda is Dr. Pepper. He would drink himself into a diabetic sugar coma if I let him. Okay not quite that bad I don't think...but seriously that's all he'd drink besides milk if he could.

Went on a mish to California San Fernando. Speaks fluent espanol =)

Tyler&Annie facts:

We go through two gallons of milk a week. We love our milk. 2% is the only way to go.

There was a time{soon after we got home from TN} where we ate out at Cafe Rio, once a week for over a month straight! We have since developed better self control..

We love living in Utah for many reasons but we love the four seasons. Summer is our favorite =)

We are night owls but i'm worried that it's going to be a rude awakening once our baby is here.

We love extra-sharp cheddar cheese...yummm..

Recently celebrated our 6 year anniversary =) Okay anniversary of our first kiss together...which happened during a scary movie. at my best friends house. on her couch. Lame? Yes. I may or may not still give Tyler a hard time about it ;)

If you'd of asked us back when we first married, where we'd be right now in our lives..we would not have guessed here! But that's the beauty of life =)

day two. our bucket lists.

Annie's bucket list:

{obviously all of these will be with Tyler unless specified otherwise...}

Go on a cruise.{almost check}

be called mommy{almost check}

go parasailing.

Become temple workers.

Read the B.O.M. cover to cover.

Own a doggie...or two =) Adopt a dog.

Hike Yosemite, Havasupai, and swim under a waterfall.

Vacation in Hawaii and also New York{during christmas}.

See Wicked.

Take the kids{future family} to disneyland during halloween!

Visit a six flags.

Take a sushi making class.

Ride all the roller coasters in Las Vegas.

Skinny dip in the ocean!

Take a self defense class. This one would be on my own most likely...Tyler likes to think he knows all the basics to self defense ;)

Cuddle a baby sloth. Okay that last one is a stretch and will probably never happen. But I can still dream!

Tyler bucket list:

Go on a cruise.{almost check}

Go skydiving.

Go scuba diving/snorkeling somewhere tropical.

Learn to surf.

Visit Hawaii & New York.

Be a stunt double in a movie.

day three. A picture of you and your friends

I've been sort of dragging my feet on this post because it asks for ONE picture of you with your friends! We have lots of friends! How can we just choose one? We love them all! So, just know that all you friends out there =)

But I think it's pretty amazing that Tyler has stayed best friends with the same group of guys since elementary/jr. high. What's even crazier...is that they all had girlfriends in high school..and 5 of the guys in the group married their high school sweeties!{Us included} So i've known their wifeys for years and years since we also went to school with each other and plus got to know each other super well through our boyfriends being best friends and all. We've all been through a lot together =) From the drama we all miss from high school to the drama we all know that comes with waiting for a missionary. We are soo happy to finally be married!

Here are me and the wifeys/good friends at my baby shower =)

And here's Tyler with his best buds before they left on missions.

And here we all are at Bear Lake =)

We had just finished two ginormous pizzas.

day four. bad habits.
Bad habits?? We don't have bad habits in this house!!

Haha if only that were the case!!

Annie bad habit:

I wish I didn't bite my nails/hang nails or rub/touch my eyes!

Every time I do these things..I scold myself...and then do it again minutes later haha.

I have a bad habit of gasping/freaking out in the car when I remember something I wanted to tell Tyler and it bugs him soo bad. Mostly because it freaks him out. I also do that when I think he doesn't realize he's getting too close to a car or wall.

I wish I had better study habits.

Tyler bad habit:

Tyler wishes he wasn't so dang good at procrastinating. He's always hating himself for waiting till the last minute.

Another bad habit is drinking lots and lots of dr. pepper or candy and then being lazy about brushing his teeth.

A bad habit I think he has is getting so easily upset at people on the road. He has such high standards for other drivers around him.

day five. somewhere you've been.

So remember that 30 day blog challenge I started a year ago? Haha well why not continue! Who says it has to be 30 consecutive days?

Tyler and I haven't been to many places together yet. Obviously our cruise to Mexico was a huge vacation and the most exotic place we've been together.

On my own I have been on some cool vacations that i've really enjoyed.
London, Cancun, Virginia/D.C. to name a few.
But i'm going to have to brag about London. I've never blogged about it because I was only 16 when I went with my older brother Orson to visit my sister Romney back in 2006. I loved it.
It was my first time on a plane and out of the country.
{fun fact: Tyler and I had just barely made our relationship official when I left for this trip. Yucky timing to leave the country.}

Our first night in London.
We went to see a Concert and could not stay awake to save our lives! Jet lag was bad. London was 7 hours ahead and didn't get too much sleep on the 9+ hour plane ride there.

natural history museum

Notice "Notting Hill"

I love everything miniature!

The London Underground

aka The Tube

Hyde Park
I'd say it's equivalent to Central Park in NYC.
{although i've never been to Central Park sooo...}

The British Museum. Can you spot us?

Tower Bridge

Checking out the Statue of David.

starting a new trend =)

Tower Of London

Piccadilly Circus

Chinatown of London

Trafalgar Square

In front of The National Gallery

Picture perfect: London Eye + Big Ben in the background.

the "bobby" on the left is a Leonardo DiCaprio/Eric Dane mix.

The London Eye

The Millennium Bridge
Proud to have a picture on this bridge! Since it was on Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince =)

Westminster Abbey

Windsor Castle

Seeing Les Miserables in London was amazing to say the least.
{despite what my facial expression may have you believe}

In front of Buckingham Palace

funny fact about this picture: The couple taking it told us we were a cute couple and asked if we were on our honeymoon. HAHA. I don't remember what we said but I think we just said no and left out the fact that we were bro and sis cause that's just awkward for everyone.

Taking a ride on the London Eye

being sneaky

One of my favorite pics from this trip. I miss my long hair!

In front of the River Thames.

Loved those busses.

Exploring the Tower of London.

cutest mailboxes!

They didn't have smart cars in the U.S. yet. So I had to get a pic.

Our last day there :'(

We were there 12 days but it went by way too fast!
So wow lots of pics but I just couldn't narrow them down any farther than this =)

Now onto Tyler's portion of this 30 day blog challenge thing.

The most notable place he's been is probably Tijuana Mexico.

Here's Tyler in Tijuana 2008 with some guy friends.
