Vote: Pinterest or No

Alright. I do not have it. I have never even seen how it works... I hear good things from good people. I hear frightening things from addicted people. Should I look into it? Is it really the greatest? Let me know.

Dave Ramsey

I knew that I was a true married lady when I listened to talk radio during my commutes. I drive a lot and needed to have something better distract me than music. So I began listening to the man who talks like my own dad in every way. The hint of accent, his humor, wisdom, and same exact take on finances. He has raised my 6 other siblings and me on these concepts. So we have all heard of Mr. Ramsey since we were little, but now I was going to learn what all the fuss is about. So I listened to his radio shows and then my mom gave me his Financial Peace University on cd. I recently finished his 23 or so cds of about 45 minutes each and honestly, that is the kind of media that is thought changing and heart changing....so.. life changing. Sounds cheesy even to my ears, but it's true. He simplifies one of the hugest aspects of our lives that could potentially control it. He makes you laugh out loud the entire time! But it has been a huge blessing in my life. I know it seems like an odd thing to get excited about, but he gives you such a healthy perspective on finances and how to wisely handle it to basically.... get ahead. Dave often says, "live like no one else, so you can live like no one else." It gets you excited to live frugally!! So, try listening to him one time, he is fantastic!

wedding video

No worries, I'm not posting mine. I'm just telling everyone to get one!!!!! My best friend recently told me that is not a priority so.... they arent doing one. I am heart broken because it truly is my favorite thing from my wedding. It brings back the feeling better than any pic can. I searched and searched for my favorite videographer.. found him. Nathan Pickett. He is a miracle worker :) I know I know, people will argue for a certain other in Provo... but Nathan is still my personal favorite :) Im telling you, cut out a different expense if needed, your wedding video is too priceless. You will not regret it :)

Revenge got me

When I saw the Revenge previews I was totally unimpressed. And then the main picture is Emily Thorne with black spikes poking everywhere... no thanks. 
haha I am a big fan now! I watched it and now cannot miss I week, which I rarely do with a tv show. Hooked.
So for those of you who haven't seen it, check it out. For those of you who are fans, what do you think it will end like? Geez she is kinda nuts huh? 
Oh and I love Nolan. He makes me laugh with his quirky bobble head and one liners.

youtube crackup

one of my favorite forms of media is youtube. i love hearing about a new hilarious video and sharing it with others. like all media, youtube can be trashy. but here is one video that makes me feel good and gets me laughing every time! and it doesn't hurt that the adorable Eaton is nephew. :) this little guy is a miracle that he is still with us. he is the family comedian and life of every party.

ooo give me the chills!

i couldn't decide what clip i wanted to put for my favorite tv show shout out ( so you think you can dance). there are soo many that i just die for! i finally decided to put up Lauren Frodermans compilation of solos, she was last years winner. they all are phenominal. fyi: the first 30 second routine is a lil' hoochie... it gets better and better after that, just keep going and you will be impressed. ps. she is tied for 1st in my mind of my personal favories, allison holker sometimes tops her... now get ready to want to bust a move after this.

Lol while reading?

Elodia Strain is one of my very favorite authors because I literally laugh throughout the entire book! My sisters and I all have become hooked cuz she is such a crack up and not very often do I lol while reading... So I want everybody to read one of her books because they put ya in a good mood.  :)
(I haven't read her most recent... but try one of her other ones for sure. I found her at Deseret book or seagul... )
