Mumsie- cont.

Blogger messed up!! Wouldn't let me carry on typing after the fab pics!! So here's the continuation!...
  • We have like this supernatural connection!! I ALWAYS without exception, know the mood of me mother. If there's something bothering her, and pa is perplexed... I know :) it's a pretty awesome magical power to have! We're totally intune with each other. Like, on more than one occasion we've gone to call each other at the same time as the other one was going to call :)
  • We call each other like every day!! All the time!!! :D She's always the first to know about everything that happens in my life (after Davey Babes), and the first to go to for advice! 
  • She is just the best friend and mum ever!! She even lets me call her Shell :) much to Rella's dismay ;) there is a reason though- when she was the bestest child minder ever all the ickle cute kiddies would get confused when I called her mum- as she wasn't their 'mum' as such, so I just called them Shell like them :) and it stuck :) sometimes that's the only thing she responds to :D hehe....
So here's to a mum who's AMAZING in the bestest way possible!!! I LOVE YOU!!!! And will be seeing you tomorrow :) WOOP DE WOOP!!!! <3 xxx

Family Thursdays- Mumsie :D

Time for my second spooner bestest buddy!! My mummy!! Here she is....
She's the one on the left :) Rella's on the right :D

She's beautiful isn't she :) well here are the reasons why she's my bestest buddy :) like EVER!! And boy are there lots of things to share!!

She's CRAZY!! Just a tad loopy :) and she is more than willing to admit it! Anyone who has been in our family house on a few occasions is more than likely to have heard her playing her music very loud in the kitchen whilst singing- also very loudly! She can never hear the door or phone :) fab!!! In general she can have her mad moments- usually when she's around other crazy ladies, i.e. me, Rella Roo, Juwiiiaaaa, Hannah Banana and Kate :D Here is some evidence which I'm sure she'll be happy I'm sharing with the wide web :) hehe...
Using the Jacob the Sheep Rug as a nappy and doing an odd dance....
 
Pretending to be on a motorbike and dancing to Girls Aloud - 'Something Kinda Ooh'... boy if only I had the video :D hehe

The wonders of my day to day are...
  • Finding Pop Tarts in the cupboard which I'd totally forgotten about buying :)
  • The Apprentice!!! I LOVE IT SO BLOOMING MUCH!!! 
  • Cross-stitching :) my new favouritist hobby :) 
  • Starting a ickle bit of house hunting, as the big bro may live with us next year :D hehe..
  • Chocolate kelloggs crunchy nut clusters :) just can't get enough of them :D
  • Searching for engineering jobs for Davey Babes..and getting just an ickle bit excited about the potential wages- but lets be honest any wage is heaven to 2 students :) hehe..
Well that's it this Wednesday :) Cheerio!! xxx

'M' for Mondays-memories...

Sorry I've left you blogless this weekend- been rather busy! This blog is kinda a mix of 'M' for Mondays, and Sacred Sundays (which will make up for my missings of yesterday, you'll be glad to know!).

My 'M' today is for memories!!! I have some AMAZING memories- I've had pretty much the greatest life full of happiness so far, and really hope it never ends!! :D But recently I've been reminded of a very special not too distant memory, which I wish never to forget, and really has become a big building block to my testimony, of the amazing gospel, which is the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints... lets go back to the Sunday before my glorious wedding day.

The next Monday I was going to be moving mine and Davey Babes stuff into our new home, with the awesome help of Donkey :) hehe... a.k.a John, as it was only me moving it! So that Sunday night I was lying in bed in the WAG house, and boy did the heavens open!! Was chucking it down with rain! Like crazy crazy rain! So I was slightly concerned that the weather would be rainy the next day, and it would be terribly difficult and miserable, trying to move the multiple car loads from house to house. So I decided to pray to my Heavenly Father. I prayed and asked fervently that He would make the weather sunny for the next day, so that moving would be stress free. And I kinda propositioned Him (in a respectful way of course) saying that if He made the weather good for the Monday, it could rain on the wedding day, and I quite literally told him the times (numbers and everything) that it could rain- the morning, before the wedding, during the wedding service, whilst at the reception, during our travel to the temple, then any time after we were finished at the temple. Then I went to sleep...

Monday came, and too did the sunshine :) :) :) for this I was trully grateful, and moved all the stuff in mega quick.. no probs!

Then the wedding day came! My ma, Rella and I awoke in the morning to grey skies and showers... they were slightly more pessimistic, saying...it will be ok etc... but I said (with slight confidence) that it was ok, it was allowed to rain for next couple of hours...
My daddy!! Can kinda see the rain in the background, on the cars etc!!
The time then came to get things properly ready and the sun came out!!! :) :) :)

We got to the chapel, and during the service, the heavens quite literally opened again- you could hear the raindrops banging on the roof! The service then ended, and it was time for pics.... sunshine again :) :) :) got some BEAUT photos!!!! For example :)...

Then off to the reception.... whilst inside the rain came out!! :) :) :) by this time I knew the day was PERFECT and that Heavenly Father had well and truly answered my prayer and soooo much more!!! Had a few more pics after the reception= sunshine :) :) :)
My favouritist little man!! Want kids just like him!!
Then as soon as we got in the beast of a BMW to travel to Chorley, out came the rain :) :) :)  (whilst Dave and I completely zonked out for an hour and a half :) meet the beast...

 We then got to the temple, and had the most beautiful sunshine and blue skies!! See....
 After our beautiful time at the temple, we were a wee bit peckish, so ma and pa took us to McD's for cheeseburgers :) And whilst we were sat in the beast in the car park the rain came tumbling down, greater than ever before!! Peeps in the car were saying this and that, and I just smiled to myself and said 'My Heavenly Father loves me'. And this I know for sure now, and forever more, especially as I keep this memory with me forever- which I think it will :D

Many people could argue that it was just chance that the rain came and went throughout the day, exactly when Heavenly Father knew it could... but I, and hopefully you, know this isn't the case, as life would be that much sader to live... The End...

Family Thursdays

I saw a link on facebook a while ago that said that a best friend isn't your best friend until you've spooned them! If that's the case, then I have 4 best friends :D
  1. Davey Babes (of course!!)
  2. My mumsie!
  3. Rella Roo (my skin and blister!)
  4. Hannah Banana!
I shall be exploring my relationship with each one over the next few weeks :D

Today shall be Dave's day :) Well I have gotta keep him happy!!
It is dead easy for me to say that I married my best friend :) it's like he's part of me :) even when he goes to uni without me, and we're apart for like 6hrs, he'll still call me 2 or three times for a chat. I'm starting to think we're gonna miss each other lots when he gets a big boys job, as we're together pretty much 24/7. Being around each other soooo much and not getting too annoyed with each other (he can be like an annoying little brother sometimes), just goes to prove methinks that we are bestest buddies.

So avoiding the mushy lovey dovey cheesehead stuff (as this post is about friendship), one of the best things about Dave is that he can be SUPER SILLY!! Here is proof.....
He does it completely randomly, with no encouragement from me (until the silliness is underway of course!!). However this cheekyness is used by him, in other ways... when he's in trouble. He quite literally is like a little kid, and he'll put on this little voice and pull a puppy dog face and say silly things, which make it incredibly hard to stay annoyed with him. I am slightly worried for when we have chidlers of our own, and the things he may teach them, which will make disciplining them very difficult! Well at least they'll be cute!!

You can guarentee that this silliness will come out to play when I am on the phone to Shell. It's as if he's fighting for my attention- but then it turns out he just wants the attention of mumsie, and he'll talk silly to her down the phone! I think my ma and hubby have the silliest relationship! You cannot be sad with them in your life- it's quite literally impossible!!

So yes, here's to my silly hubby who's the bestest buddy in the whole widest world!!

TV Tuesdays :D

Ok it's official!! It's been FOREVER!! Quite literally!! My greatest apoligies, but I had to put my blogging to the side during my most wonderful end of year assignments and exams! They went well :) so I believe it was a good choice! So the past week I've been doing NOTHING!! And it has been AMAZING!! I keep thinking.. hmm what do I need to do, then realise I am FREE!!! For pretty much 4 months :) now that is a nice feeling indeed!! (Though I am going to try and get a job over the summer fingers crossed :). So yesh... during this chilaxed week, I have been blog brainstorming! And decided to structure myself some more-especially for the summer during my perhaps pending boredom hehe.. not that I am in anyway complaining ;). So for each day of the week I am going to have a different focus... Ta daaaaaa.....
  • 'M' for Monday- contemplate things beginning with 'M' to do with my life!! Including 'mmmmmmm' for food :) hehe...
  • TV Tuesdays- well hey, it is an actual hobby of mine- however anti-social :D hehe..
  • Wonder Wednesdays- reveal the wonders of my life and what I'm thankful for.
  • Family (Friends) Thursdays- dedicated to the most important people in my life :) may even get them to write a blog or two for me.
  • Fashion Fridays- boy do I have some gems for you!! I've started sowing, and serious charity shopping!! I'm such a Molly Mormon!!
  • Surprise Saturdays- a surprise ;) hehe what ever I feel like! Shall run WILD!!!
  • Sacred Sundays- share my most precious experiences, and discoveries in the scriptures :)
So there you go!! What do you think??

Well here's my first TV Tuesday blog!!!

As many of you know, I study Criminal Justice and Criminology at uni (and no its not some artsy fartsy degree- it has quite literally changed my whole perception of crime and prison in a very good way!). Thus, I claim that my fascination and addiction to pretty much all crime programmes (have grown bored of CSI by the way), is because I am researching my degree, and expanding my knowledge!! But I also love many other tv programmes, so I shall share with you 2- that are on Tuesdays!! (Clever huh??? :)

SMALLVILLE!!!!!
Pippin and I were converted to this superhero goodness by Dave's younger brother Joe (who is AWESOME!!). The final season started tonight!! And boy is it exciting!! And I'm not even kidding- I don't watch it because of Tom Welling- though the Green Arrow = ;) ;) hehe... anyways.. it is just super duper cool... what is most exciting is that this is the season where Clark Kent FINALLY gets the good old primary colours out!!! WOOP WOOP!! Here's a sneaky preview ;)
Can't help but beam with joy!! :D Sooo yep not much more to say... it quite literally leaves one speechless (though Davey Babes always tells me off for making little comments here and there during the programme...naughty naughty!!)

JAMIE OLIVER!!

He's in LA trying to promote the food revolution, and it is ridiculous how they're not letting him into their school cafeterias to see the undoubtedly horrific food!! At this rate Americans are gonna kill themselves via diabetes, heart disease and all the other hundreds of diet related diseases!! So Jamie Oliver is the REAL superman for America- so LISTEN TO HIM!!! Arghhhhhh!! Frustrates me muchly!! So, yep... Jamie Oliver big hero- and not just because he makes the yummiest food EVER!!! And has SUPER cute kids!!!
So there's a snippet into my TV life- don't worry there is MUCH more to come... so much TV and sooo little time!!

Do any of you guys watch these AWESOME programmes?? :D If not yet- then you should :) join me in my laziness :D

Well... back to Jamie Oliver and our most wonderful telly... oh I have a wonderful life hehe... xx
