2008: Our First Year

I can't believe how fast 2008 went by! It has been James and my first year being married, and it has been such a fun year!

February: Lots of homework, working out at the gym, hanging out with our friends, and took a road trip home to Las Vegas.

10 Movies

The Rules
1. Pick 10 of your favorite movies.
2. Go to IMDb and find a quote from each movie.
3. Post them on your blog for everyone to guess.
4. Check it off when someone guesses correctly, and put who guessed it and the movie.
5. No Googling/using IMDb search or other search functions.
6. No looking up my favorite movies on my my blog profile!

1. Wait a minute, am I being Punk'D? Oh my god! Ashton, you really got me! Ha Ha! Ashton! Ashton?

2. It's me, Jessica!

3. I don't know. Something amazing, I guess.

4. Say something crazy... like you're wearing ladies underwear.

5. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to kiss you twice and then linger on the second one.

6. You know, your mood swings are kinda giving me whiplash.

7. No man... if you wanna kiss her... You go right ahead and you kiss her! I mean, knock your self out! You just take her... then kiss her. Then kiss the crap out of her!

8. Oh! Is that what this is? I'm so sorry! I just thought it was a regular peach tree!

Okay, so I only did eight...

Gingerbread Houses

Yay for gingerbread houses! James and I had lots of fun hanging out with our good friends Danny and Lindsey. It was a lot of fun and we definitely got into it. James and I put a hot tub on our balcony with a patio table and chairs! And we even used sour patch kids as our people. Our house isn't totally done because we ran out of frosting while Danny and Lindsey went to town!

I have to say, their house is impressive. They made a garage with a sled! A stone walkway and there is a tree in the backyard. I LOVE IT.
