Wall E



Chris and I went and saw Pixar's new movie, Wall E. It was so good!! It's amazing that you can enjoy a movie with hardly any dialogue, but this movie makes it work. Wall E and all of the robots on this film just steal your heart! If you can't tell, we loved it! It would be so much fun to see it again!

To Grandpa Vic...


"O, who will walk a mile with me along life's merry way?
A comarade blithe and full of glee, who dares to laugh out loud and free, and let his frolic fancy play, like happy child, through the flowers gay, that fill the field and fringe the way, where he walks a mile with me.
And who will walk a mile with me along life's weary way? A friend whose heart has eyes to see the stars shine out o'er the darkening lea, and the quiet rest at the end o' the day, a friend who knows, and dares to say, the brave, sweet words that cheer the way, when he walks a mile with me.
With such a comrade, such a friend, I fain would walk till journey's end, through summer sunshine, winter rain, and then?-Farewell, we shall meet again..."
-James Whitcomb Riley

Get Smart


Last night, Chris, my dad, and I went to see Get Smart. It was hilarious and we loved it! I'd highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys comedy, action, and Steve Carell (the other actors were awesome too, but Steve really carried the show).

Bathroom Remodel


Chris and I decided that we wanted to redecorate our bathroom. It was originally a white room with stencled ivy along the top portion and a strange greenish blue color at the bottom. There was a huge wall mirror on one wall a really bad looking light fixture ubove it, and everything was made out of really fake looking wood. Well, our recent trip to Moab inspired us to change the bathroom to orange. We had thought about it for a while, but on a trip to Home Depot (to pick up a father's day gift), we decided to do the bathroom now, and we bought the paint. Well, then Chris got really excited and began taking everything down in the bathroom, taping it up, and buying new items to stick in it. He took down the light fixture and put a huge hole in the wall so that the new light would fit. Once that was fixed and dried, we were able to start painting. We painted most of it on Monday night and finished painting Tuesday afternoon when Chris got home from work. When we got home from family pictures that same evening, Chris started putting the light in and almost anything he could fit on the walls. Yesterday, he put up the new mirror and the new medicine cabnet that we got and we were able to move everything else back in. I think that it looks amazing! I love it! Today we got to use it for the first time in about a week! I am so excited!! Being spontanious and making changes can be quite fun and look amazing in the end!

Book club

I was wondering if anyone would be interested on doing a book club on my blog. My idea was once a month we could read a book (we could take a poll as to which book to read) and than comment on it on the blog. Please let me know if you're interested!

Parking spot

So, this morning as Chris and I were pulling out of our parking spot at the gym, we noticed a lady sitting in her car waiting for our spot. That got us thinking...if you go to the gym to exercise and become healthy, than why do people get the closest spot to the building?

Prusso blog

Just so that everyone knows, my family has also set up a blog at http://prussopalace.blogspot.com/.

Moab

This past May, Chris and I took a trip to Moab, Ut for our second anniversary.










The picture above is a picture of a formation called Dead Horse Point. There is a legend that said that cowboys would drive wild mustangs onto this point which was a natural corral and pick the horses that they wanted than left the rest to die in sight of water. Isn't that just depressing?
Chris and I than hiked up to Delicate Arch which was a nice hike. However, when we got to the arch, there was a huge school group that was taking pictures underneath the arch. So, it was really crowded when we got there. It was still really beautiful. Chris was a little disappointed because he thought that the rock was a lot more delicate than it actually was.




We took our jeep on a 100 mile long 4-wheeling trip. It took us about a day and a half to complete. It was really fun, accept by the end, we felt like bobble heads because it was so bumpy. We weren't in the car the whole time. There was a couple of really nice hikes that we were able to do. We might try and do it again next year, but I'm going to try biking it instead of riding in the jeep.




The last day we were there, we went back to Arches National Park, and did their longest hike which is called the Devils Garden. It was incredible. It is about 6 miles long and most of it is without a formal trail. It was really fun to climb over all of the rocks and we felt like we were explorers. This was the climax, called Double O Arch because there are acutally two arches if you look close. It was amazing.
We had so much fun on this trip that we hope to make it a destination every year that we live here in Utah.

Kung Fu Panda


Kung Fu Panda was amazing! Chris and I were laughing so hard the whole time! It was really funny and would be great for anyone regardless of age. We totally recommend it. If you haven't seen it, go see it.

Hello

Hey everybody!
Well, this is my first ever blog...i'm not entirely sure of how this works, but i'll give it a try.
Chris and I went on an awesome trip to Moab last month for our anniversary (2nd!). We went camping/hiking for a couple of days, and than did a 100 mile 4-wheeling trail in our jeep cheeroke. It was a lot of fun and we really enjoyed the nice weather. Since then we have just been working and trying to see the latest films. Next month we are planning on going to a trip to Lake Tahoe with the Prusso's and more Prusso's. I think that it will be really fun, and I'm looking forward to showing Chris around. Well, I think that's all for now. Until next time...
