Haha got you this is not a review about the above type of porcelain bowl.  This review is about the following.

Can you imagine drinking from this kind of cup?  Yuck is all I can say!  However I can see this being a very popular Christmas present at the Larsen family get togethers ;)

So my real review starts like this.....  Have you ever thrown up in a public/work bathroom?  Well I am so lucky and got to experience that today.  It was AMAAAAZING!  Ok let's be honest, it sucked!  To the poor lady who had to listen to me puke I'm sorry.  I bet it was just as fun for you as it was for me ;)  Anyway it stinks because who wants to get down on that dirty public floor and lean over a dirty public toilet.  Not me, but I did anyway.  Maybe next time I'll just use the garbage can, ha.  So yeah throwing up is not fun, not even at your own house, and I hope you all don't have to puke into a public toilet any time soon :)

P.S. No, I'm not pregnant. I think I may have just given myself food poisoning.

Houston We Have a Problem

Let's jump all the way back to memorial day :)  We had a lot of fun!  My parents, grandma and sister Jamie were in Oklahoma visiting the Johnson's, so it was just Adam, Chase and I holding down the fort.  Chase and I made sure that Adam wasn't too bored since his memorial weekend plans fell through.  So we had steaks at grandma's house, went out to dinner one night and then on memorial day we went to the Salt Lake airport.  Airport number 2 that is.  We decided that since dad was out of town that it was a great opportunity to take dad's father's day picture.  

After taking pictures Adam took me up to go flying since I hadn't been flying in the plane yet.  I was nervous because I've never been in such a small plane before and I was thinking of the worst.  Of course I would be doing that.  Adam first started off with doing a touch and go and then we were really off on our flight.  We were headed up towards Herriman area and had just flown over Oquirrh Mnt. Temple and Herriman High School when Adam turned the plane around.  I didn't know what he was doing I was just along for the ride, taking pictures, watching the little house's go by, and thinking about how cool it was to see the area from a birds perspective, well sort of ;)  As Adam turned the plane around he calmly mentioned to me that the oil pressure was concerning him.  Oh boy all of the worst case scenarios started running through my head. Just get us safely on the ground, is what I kept saying to myself.  We got back to the airport safely but by the time we landed the oil pressure was around 5 (I think it is supposed to be around 20).  I'm so glad that Adam is a very intuitive and safe pilot.  It made me very happy to know that he takes things seriously and doesn't try to push the limits.  Come to find out it was just the gauge that was broken and the plane was working just fine, but better safe than sorry. :)

 Since our flight was cut short we ended up going to lunch and then wasted some time at Barnes and Noble before heading to the airport to pick up my mom and dad.  P.S. the whole day we had been driving the bugs.  It was so much fun.  I loved the noise of the engines, the looks from people seeing two bugs in a row, and the pure joy of a fun little car.  We had fun over the weekend and I'm glad that I got to spend it with my love and with Adam.   

Thanks for the fun boys I really enjoyed myself :)  Let's do it again!

A Little Late

This post is a little late, like 3 months late.  Anyway I wanted to introduce you to our newest member of the family.
Chase and I decided that it was time to get rid of my Alero and upgrade to a new car.  I've always wanted a Subaru, so low and behold that's what we ended up getting.  It was a really hard decision to make and by the end of our car searching we became pros at finding damage on cars.  Nothing was getting past us.  The process of searching and leaving annoyed or disappointed was getting very tiring and I was ending up really grumpy.  I never felt excited about the cars and never felt like it was the right decision.  So on to the next car we would go.  As soon as I saw our car and looked it over I finally told Chase that I was getting excited about it and feeling how I thought I should feel.

We ended up finding this 05 Subaru Legacy GT for sale at a small car dealership :/ which we weren't too excited about dealing with them, but decided to test drive it anyway.  Well that was a mistake, as soon we stepped on the gas and the turbo kicked in we were both sold.  We had to wipe the grins off of our faces when we got back to the dealership so they didn't know that we were too excited about it.
When looking at Subaru's Chase and I had different opinions on what we wanted, so I'm glad that we were able to get something that we both were able to agree on and be excited for.  The car is really fun and I love knowing that I'm in a safe car.  Chase is really jealous that I get to drive it and that he has to drive his Honda.  Luckily his car gets really good gas mileage with the amount of driving he does.  So one day when his car bites the dust he can get a new/used car of his own.
Oh I forgot to mention that when we sold my Alero I was really sad to see it go :(  That was my car my entire driving life until recently and I will say that I loved that car.  I'm a very lucky girl that my parents got me such a nice car for my first car, and I'm a very lucky girl that Chase likes Subaru's and was willing to get me one.
So here's to many many more years of driving my new car :D

My New Profession Cutting Hair, Well Maybe Not!

Well after 2 years I guess it was bound to happen.

Before Chase and I got married I convinced him to let me cut his hair.  I was pretty dang surprised at how well I did.  That first time I used scissors, I then learned that clippers were much quicker and easier.  So for the last 2 years I have been using clippers.  Well the reason why I'm telling all of you this is because tonight was the first time I've made a mistake :(  

As you can see from the picture above it was a bad mistake!

As soon as my clippers cut out the left hole I started laughing because I was so nervous about my mistake.  I wanted to give up right then and there and let Chase finish, but he wouldn't let me.  Instead he made me finish.  I now know that I can't blend the way I was trying to, oops. 

Let's just say that I won't be cutting hair for a living!  Oh and p.s. the other hole on the right at the bottom is a scar so I didn't do that one too, phew.  Who knows though I might have made it look worse too. 

So after we finished cleaning up Chase told me I had to take pictures and blog about it.  I'm so glad that he was laughing about it instead of being mad at me.  After telling him sorry a bunch of times, he decided to remind me that he has to sit in the front of his class tomorrow, and everyone is going to see it.  

So I think it's safe to say that the next time he says he needs a hair cut I'm going to pass.  I don't ever want to make that mistake again.  I just hope his hair will grow really fast.  Anybody know any tricks for that? 

Chase's little sister has been begging to cut Chase's hair, he said he would let her one day, but after today we will see if he does.  Sorry Carissa, maybe you'll have to wait to convince your husband ;)

Extra Extra Read All About It

I've got some news to share......  I have a calling in church :)  I am now the secretary of the Young Women.  Woot woot.  I'm so excited to be with the Young Women.  Ever since Chase and I got married I would always tell him I wanted to be in the Young Women's.  I wanted to go to camp, work on personal progress now that I'm older, ha, and hang out with the girls every Tuesday night.  That should keep me busy enough while Chase is busy busy with school right?  I've had a lot of callings that I've enjoyed and I'm so happy that I can add this one to the list.  So let the adventures begin.  


Also because this goes along with the theme of Young Women's watch this deep beauty movie.  It has a really good message to it and I love Sister Elaine S. Dalton's talks.   

Take Me Out to the Ball Game

Last night we got to go to a bees game thanks to my work.  Now when I won these tickets to the game I'll be honest and say that I wasn't too thrilled.  However we decided that it would be a fun date night, even though were both not into baseball.  

To start off the night we headed to the bank.  We were both reluctant to change banks but decided that heading over to America First Credit Union was a good idea.  So yay for money and banks to keep it "safe."

We then headed up to beautiful Salt Lake City, even though where we were wasn't very beautiful, we could still see the mountains.  Can I just say how much I love Utah?  Our scenery is to die for.  I looove it!

Stole this from mom's blog bookofleakes.blogspot.com

Anywho after finding the stadium we decided we needed dinner because who wants to pay $6 for a hot dog?  Not us.  Haha we settled on Sonic because it was the first fast food restaurant that we found.  

Then to the game we went.  Thank you work for the awesome seats!  We were right above the bees dug out on the 8th row.  So we were pretty dang close.  Now for all of you baseball fans, where is the best seat?  I liked our seat because we could watch the whole field pretty well and we weren't looking through the net.  Now every time a foul ball happened all I could picture was getting hit in the head like Drew Barrymore on Fever Pitch.

Well because were not much of baseball fans we only lasted for six innings.  Which by the way took 2 hours to get to.  Even though we left early we still enjoyed our night and had fun doing something different than just watching a movie.

We love date nights and I'm so happy that we had this opportunity :)

Bodyrock= Body Pain

Ok so awhile back Chase and I found this website.  So we decided to start one of the 30 day programs.  We even took before pictures, ha.  But we ended up pretty much failing and not finishing.  I had a half marathon to run the end of March so I didn't really put much effort into working out on top of my sparse running.  Well I am ashamed to say that I haven't done anything since March 31st.

March 31st: Right before the race started

So I am going to put this on here so you all have to hold us to our goal.  Chase and I plan to work out Monday-Friday and then do our fun activities on Saturday and rest on Sunday.

Which means I have to drag my tired lazy bum out of bed (well Chase has to drag me out of bed) every morning so that we can work out.  We started on Thursday and did two different workouts from the website.  Needless to say I haven't been able to use my core muscles at all the whole weekend.  My abs hurt so bad!  While in my pain I just have to keep reminding myself that pain is just weakness leaving the body.  Pretty much I'm hoping for some definition, or if a 6 pack wants to show up then I wont say no, haha.

P.S. I wanted to mention, we don't really like the way bodyrock girl looks now, but we like the way her workouts kick our butts.   It's nice to feel the burn and be out of breath :)

This is the goal.... Well kinda

And Chase's goal ;)
