Dixon wins

This weekend was a lot of fun! Thursday, Dixon and I went bowling... (notice that Dixon is the one with the orange ball and I am the one with the red ball... I guess our favorite colors changed for the night) I'm sad to report that Dixon won, I scored a mere 91 points which isn't bad for me (once I went on a date and scored 31) so its a good score for me people! After, we had an air hockey duel, Dixon beat me at this also, but don't be fooled, I was winning for the first half of the game, and then we spent the rest of our quaters on basketball... I won at this (because I had four hands... including Dixon's two!). So fun, So fun! On Friday we went and saw get smart, and I totally wanted to take a picture in front of the theater, but I chickened out! It was a great show, the humor wasn't all that dirty, and I love Steve Carell and Anne Hathaway. Then came Saturday, and if you want to hear about saturday look at Dixon's blog below called: At the Grind with Mason's Jar of Jam! So in conclusion, we are having a lot of fun as newly weds, life is good! Did I mention that my sweet husband brought me home flowers from work on Thursday... I am one lucky girl!:)

Feeling a Bit Ambitious

Yesterday, I decided to go to a yoga class, now keep in mind that I have never really done a yoga class, but I was feeling ambitious, so I thought I would try it. To my dismay, when I got there the yoga teacher was absent, so I did the Sculpt and Stretch class instead. Its amazing that you can sculpt your body without using weights, I woke up this morning and can barely walk... it was one of those moments that I thought to myself "self, what on earth were you thinking????"
i was Dixon'a first day in his new office, so I got up early with him this morning. So after rolling out of bed and painfully walking into the kitchen to get breakfast, I was feeling ambitious once again and decided to go to the cardio pump class at nine. I didn't think I was too crazy, I mean, I excercise hard core at least five times a week... this class shouldn't be that hard. Well, for those of you who have never been to a cardio class... it kicks your butt... there are so many jumps, jumps with weights, squats, man it is quite the workout. I suddenly have a newfound respect for those who do these things every day. So my ambitious self walks into the class, finds a spot in the middle of the back half next to an old grandma. Well, come to find out, that old grandma kicked my butt... I was out of breath and wanted to die after just 35 minutes, and she was just barely warming up: lesson learned, don't sell the grandmas short.
So after about 40 minutes I had to let go of my pride and walk out... some of you may call this quitting, but I call this knowing when to step down. I can assure you that I will be going back to that class again just as soon as I master my at home dvd aerobics (this way I can stop when I want and not feel absolutely humiliated that I'm the one that can't keep up).
So its back to jogging, biking, and abs by myself for a while... hahaha I think it may be a while before I'm feeling ambitious again.

Little Things Learned

Now that I have lived on my own for about a week now, I think I need to give a shout out to my parents. These are things that I learned from, but didn't realize how grateful I am to know these things until I have had to do them all by myself:
-Learning that even though it is a dishwasher you have to clean the dish before you put it in if you want it to come out clean
-clean up after the dog, then use lysol, don't forget the lysol
-Make your bed first thing in the morning, it helps your day go a little smoother (I don't understand why that is, but my mom always told me that, and its true) Moms are always right
-When doing the wash reds and blacks go together, whites are separate from everything... and don't put any of my clothes in the dryer... this is the way to do laundry people!
-Crock pot dinners... need I say more... they are delicious and easy
-See people as people and not as objects that clutter your world (my dad taught me this one)
-Service is happiness, my mom taught me this through her example
-Tiger Woods is the best... just ask my dad
-Brush your teeth morning and night... hahaha I finally understand why! JK JK, I have always brushed my teeth morning and night
-If it doesn't taste good put ketchup on it (this one I learned from my mom when she was trying to get Landon to eat something new)
-Look at grocery store adds to find the best sales... even if it takes a long time, cuz it ends up being worth it
-Smile, its contagious

And the list goes on and on, but these are just a few that have stood out! Things are good with us, Dixon gets workspace in his office soon, and I'm supposed to be hearing back about a few jobs in the next few days. I think we are going to try yoga tomorrow and I'm sure that will definately need to be blogged about.
