Cinco de Mayo

Cinco de Mayo is one of my favorite holidays! Mostly because I associate it with eating lots Mexican food- which is my favorite.

In elementary school we always had a pinata, which are so fun.

In junior high and high school I was always in a Spanish class so there was always a potluck.

To celebrate, Chris and I had Cafe Rio. Although, it is not as good as Texas Mexican food, it was still okay. Just 24 days until Texas and Rancho Grande!

How I Met Your Mother

I love the show How I Met Your Mother. I love stories where everything has to fit together so perfectly and a lot of events that happen are vital to the story line. Plus it's funny.

I am so excited every time there is an episode that talks more about how the main character met his future wife and the mother of his children.

A couple of seasons ago Ted (the main character) went to a club. When he left it was raining and he took a yellow umbrella that was left behind. It turns out, that yellow umbrella belongs to his future wife. Well, in last night episode, Ted got that umbrella out. Throughout the entire episode the narrator (future Ted) talks about how one small change in life could lead us down a completely different path. The choices he had made within the past week had influenced where he was walking to and how long it took him to get there. He says that if those things hadn't had happened, then his kids would have never been born.

At the beginning of the episode he has the yellow umbrella and a girl taps him on the shoulder. I'm thinking "Yes! We finally get to see the future Mrs. Ted Mosby!" Then at the end of the episode they show her face.

Who is it? Stella (Sarah Chalke)- who is one of Ted's girlfriends and who left him at the alter. Totally anti-climatic! I like Sarah Chalke in Scrubs- but she is not the Mother in How I Met Your Mother. I will be so disappointed if it is her.

And I don't think she is. Future Ted never says to his kids "You would have never been born, because this person is your mother." My guess is that meeting up with Sarah again is just another step in the ladder that he needed to met his wife. Like maybe she knows the former owner of the umbrella, or her new receptionist at the doctors office.

Summer Movies

I think this might be the best summer ever for movies, and it already started this weekend.

Chris and I saw Wolverine. I have always been a huge X-men (movie) fan, and this did not disappoint. It even had twists-which every good story needs to have.

But that is not the only good movie this summer. For the next few weeks, there is a movie coming out every week that I want to see. I haven't been this excited to see a movie since High School Musical 3!

Star Trek- May 8

Angels and Demons- May 15 (Loved the book! Much better than the Da Vinci Code)

Terminator Salvation- May 21 (I think I want to see this movie. I might have to wait because I know Chris doesn't want to see it.)

Night at the Museum- May 22

"Check out this Gancho action over here. Boom! Boom! Fire Power!)

And this is all just in May.

Graduation

The day finally came. I finished all my requirements, took that stupid last final and I am graduated. I kind of miss it already. Everybody is talking about going to grad school and I am thinking maybe I should go to. But then I remember I would have to study for the GRE and I change my mind. But I am not completely ruling it out, I will probably change my mind someday.

My dad, mom and little brother came into town to celebrate with me. They were only here for 3 to 5 days, but it was so fun and felt longer. Chris did summary of everything we did here.

My parents got me Photoshop Elements for Mac- the full version. So I have been trying to learn it.

Here are some pictures from the week.

2009 Grads. Adison finishes high school in one month

At our picnic. I just really like this picture of Sammie. Plus she is in London until June and I don't know when I will get to talk to her next.

Houses

One thing I like to do for fun is look up MLS sites in websites in areas that we may move to in the future. Chris is looking at going to grad school in North Carolina- which is where I have always kind of wanted to live. Here is the house I found today- which is totally in our price range!

This are just a few pictures and it is so pretty! Just need to save up a down payment! Almost half way there.

2009 March Madness

I finally won something! I came in first place in our work bracket for the NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament.

Don't believe me? (Why wouldn't you?) I took a screenshot.


I am so excited. My prize is a $50 gift card!

Texting and Driving

This is something I am passionate about, as you can see here.

This news article explains what could happen. Like you kill someone and go to jail for it.

So don't do it. I think it might be illegal in Utah now.

Megan Joy

As I talked about before, Megan on American Idol cannot sucks. And she got eliminated tonight. So if you missed her dancing tonight, I guess you are going to have to wait awhile to see that again. Maybe she should try out for So You Think You Can Dance?

She got eliminated tonight, finally. Because of the stupid judges' save, she had to sing to impress them and maybe she would get to stay.

Not so according to Simon Cowell who said "I'm not going to pretend that we're even going to contemplate saving you."

Not like her performance would have saved her. She forgot the words.

Oops!

I forgot I posted already today. But I am here, so enjoy two in one day!

This stinks. Basically, everybody who applied to UC San Diego got an email telling them they were accepted. And then 29,000 students got an email saying it was a mistake. Oops is right!

Monday

So I got my root canal on Monday. I am horrible afraid of anything that has to deal with the dentist or doctor. I didn't cry this time when I found out I needed a root canal. Last time, I almost had a panic attack.

When I was younger, I would wish that I could get shots and things while I was sleeping. My dentist has the option to be orally sedated. I took a pill an hour before my appointment, then they gave me two pills when I got there and then another one right before they started. Plus, I was on laughing gas. So basically, I was sleeping. I was conscious enough to open and close my mouth, but that was it.

The appointment lasted three hours and then I came home and was out until 7am the next morning. Well, not really out. I guess I ate and watched House and talked to Chris about stuff. I am still asking Chris if something really happened or if it was a dream.

I am hoping I never have to get dental surgery again. But, unfortunately I think I am cursed with bad teeth. Even though I floss!
