Blue Orange Green Pink Purple

Seriously?!?!?!

My blog died and I have NO idea what the heck is happening or how to fix it -AND- I lost all of my blog lists. grrrr. If you could pretty please leave a comment so I can have the address to your blog again I would greatly appreciate it. Please bare with me as I try to figure this out. If anyone has any clues or help to offer.....please send it my way!

Tagged...

Okay this is a new take for me. My great friend Susan (who I miss! Come home and visit or maybe I'll come to Vegas.....) tagged me in her blog to do this tag.

My Man
1.What is his name? Craig Roper Olsen
2.Who eats more? Um, sweets me. Everything else Craig
3.Who said I love you first? Craig. It was one of the things that I'll never forget how I felt with those butterflies in my stomach :-)
4.Who is taller? Craig
5.Who is smarter? Craig knows the most random thing about seriously everything!
6.Who is more sensitive? 100% complete tie
7.Who does the laundry? Mostly me. Craig is great at helping me fold it and put it away.
8. Who sleeps on the right side of the bed? Well it depends if you are in it or looking at it from the foot. If you're in it: me.
9.Who pays the bills? Craig is much better at money management than I am. It's something I'm working on. We do finances together.
10.Who cooks more? I do and love it. My very favorite meals are when I come home from work and Craig has everything made and the table set.
11.Who is more stubborn? Here I have to copy my friend Susan's anser...Well, I would say Craig is more stubborn. And Craig would say that I am more stubborn. And neither of us would budge.
12. Who is the first to admit they are wrong? It flip flops.
13.Who has more siblings? We have the same if you count our blended families.
14.What do you like to do together? See movies. Play the wii. Go grocery shopping. Hiking.
15.Who eats more sweets? me by far....something I SERIOUSLY need to work on!!!!
16.Guilty pleasures? for Craig electronics. For me: Stampin- UP!
17.How did you meet? We met through our friend Dave Petersen. I invited Dave to come over and he brought his roommates, one was Craig. Craig later came into my work for a job interview a few weeks later. I had NO CLUE who he was. The girl that I was doing interviews with and myself were impressed and we hired him. As one of his ref's he put down our friend Dave. I asked Dave why this guy looked familiar. His response was so kind to remind me that Craig had come to my apartment a few weeks ago and that he had been in my ward for an entire semester!
18.Who asked who out first? Craig asked me out. On our first date we had already held hands and kissed...It was not really like either of us!!!
19.Who kissed who first? it was mutual
20.Who proposed? Craig
21.His best features? His dimples! I love to look at them when he smiles! :-)
22.What is his greatest quality? He has so many; that's why I married him! He is really concerned about me and make sure that my needs and wants are taken care of before his. He is such a people person and can strike up a conversation with anyone.


There is a little bit more about the two of us. I tag....Shelly and Anne-Marie.

Today we got home from Oregon but I'm still not at my house so I don't have my camera cable yet. Pictures still to come!

Happy Belated Fourth of July!

It has been way too long since my last post. Our internet connection was down for a couple weeks! :-(

Here are some fun things that we've been up to since my last post:

We went out for sushi at this great place in Logan called Happy Sushi. It is always so much fun to see how they present the food. It is always so beautiful! Craig had never had sushi before meeting me, now he REALLY loves it! (which is great with me because I love sushi too!!!) Sushi is something that we have on 'special occasions'. Craig decided that having the same day off of work was special enough for us to go. It was really cute!












Last week we also went hiking and fishing in both Logan Canyone and Porcupine Dam. It was so nice to be outside and enjoying nature. These are some of our pictures from those events.





One thing I'm sure that some of you don't know is that one day when I grow up I would LOVE to be a florist. Every couple weeks I get to work in the floral department at Maceys. It is always a welcome change and something that I really enjoy. I get to help with weddings, showcases and other events. This is a centerpiece that I made for our kitchen table at home. I absolutely love having fresh flowers around!




Last but not least we were able to go to see fireworks twice in one week. We went to Hyrum's fireworks on the 2nd and Logan's on the 3rd. We really enjoy watching the fireworks! I feel so grateful that we are able to have the freedoms that we have. This fourth of July I was reflecting on a billboard I saw that said, 'Land of the free because of the brave.' I am grateful for the sacrifices that have been made over many centuries for us to have the freedoms, opportunities and rights that we have. One day I want to be in Washington D.C. for the 4th of July!

Father's Day Weekend

This weekend we went down to Fillmore, Utah for Father's Day. Craig's cousin, Jeff, also had his mission 'farewell'. Jeff is going to Montevideo, Uruguay. This is really fun for us because one of our really good friends dad is the mission president for this mission! We were really excited to hear that he is going there. These pictures were taken in Jeff's family barn. I've personally never seen a barn before with several fridges, freezers and a/c. It was a lot of fun to have this get together.

These are just two of our Olsen cuties! We have Carrie on the left and Luke on the right. They are both soooooo cute! I wish I could've gotten a picture of all of our nieces/nephews on the Olsen side. It is always so fun when we have our famly get togethers and we can see them.

This is the present I made and gave to Craig for Father's day. NO I am not pregnant (one day, but hopefully not too soon) but I think that Father's day is still a day for me to honor Craig even though we don't have little Olsen's running around. This is a wallet made out of paper that we did at our Stampin Up! club activity this month. (Thanks Shelly! This idea was sooo cute!) I also made one of these for my dad and filled it full of pictures and other gift cards. They were both so impressed and it was so much fun to see their faces when they got each of theirs. (I seriously have to work on the picture thing though....why didn't I think about getting pictures of them when they were opening their presents?!?!?!?)


On our way home we stopped in Sandy and went to this reptile/fish store. There are so many different types of fish/reptiles here. It is almost like going to an actual aquarium but it's FREE! One day when we have our own home we'll have an aquarium! Craig really, really looks forward to this day!
