My Idea of the Perfect First Date
Well, it has been quite some time since I had a first date. It seems that Ben and I's first date worked out really well so I'll just tell about that.
It was my Senior year and a girls choice dance was coming up. My friends and I decided we were not going to ask anyone and take a girls trip to Cedar and watch the football game and stay for a couple nights. Then a few days before the dance my dear friend Alicia, (love you leesh) that was coming with us decided to ask someone. Since we needed to come back for the dance anyway, I decided to ask someone. Ben had just moved to our school and I decided to ask him. We had met previously, but that is a completely different post. Ben said yes and almost 15 years later here we are.
We decided to go up Box Canyon that is in between Moroni and Ftn. Green. A bunch of us went together and had Dutch oven, went 4-wheeling. We had a great time and I actually have a great pic of Ben and I on this date. We then went to the dance and then after went and watched a movie. I think we got home around 3 a.m. My parents were less than thrilled with me and come to find out his aunt and uncle werent very happy either. Ben and I however really hit it off and aside from a little rough patch nearly 2 years later it has been he and I ever since!
My idea of a perfect date now, just spending time together having fun and enjoying each others company. Good food helps too.

Day 2
Well, I already failed for doing this in 30 days. We'll see how it goes.
Day 2: Favorite Movie
I really don't have lots of favorites. I love a lot of movies. One movie I watch almost everytime I go in the hospital and never tire of is 13 going on 30. Who doesn't love Jennifer Garner. I think we could be B.F.F. If she really knew me:).
I also love Disney cartoons. My new favorite is Princess and the Frog. Who knew frogs could be so cute?
What's your favorite?

30 day blogging challenge
I have lots to catch up on, our amazing Christmas, my beautiful kids, I'm now 32. Heck I still haven't posted cambrees first day of school picture. But instead of doing all that I'm going to jump on the 30 day challenge bandwagon. We'll see how this goes, especially since ive been a stellar blogger these days.
Day 1- Your Favorite Song
I love music. I love so many songs I don't think I could pick just one. I go through phases where I get a song that I love and hear it over and over again and then start to get tired of it for example Someone Like You by Adele. Great song, completely overplayed. One song I thought of that has stood the test of time is After All by Cher and Peter Cetera. I still remember watching the movie Chances Are (great older movie by the way if you haven't seen it. 3 words, Robert Downey Jr. I love him!). At the end of the movie this song plays and I have loved it ever since. Its one of those that when it comes on I turn it up as loud as I can and make everyone be quiet. You know you've done it. If you havent, you are missing out. For those that haven't heard my Cher impression well, you probably never will, but it is a treat.
After All
Well, here we are again
I guess it must be fate
We've tried it on our own
But deep inside we've known
We'd be back to set things straight
I still remember when
Your kiss was so brand new
Every memory repeats
Every step I take retreats
Every journey always brings me back to you
chorus:
After all the stops and starts
We keep coming back to these two hearts
Two angels who've been rescued from the fall
After all that we've been through
It all comes down to me and you
I guess it's meant to be
Forever you and me
After all
When love is truly right
It lives from year to year
It changes as it goes
And on the way it grows
But it never disappears
Chorus
Bridge
Always just beyond my touch
You know I needed you so much
After all, what else is living for?
Chorus
Day 1 down, we'll see how the rest go. Come on, take the challenge, it will be fun. Oh and let me know if you do. I'd love to read it.
