Turning 25

Yesterday was my birthday and it was one of the best birthdays I can remember. It literally snowed all day long and I loved it! We had a fire going and I just watched movies, caught up on 90210 reruns and Big Love reruns all day, while watching the snow come down. Colt took a ruler out last night at about 9:00p after the snow had stopped and we had 8 1/2 inches! That's crazy for Hillsboro! Gus thought it was the best thing in the world :o) 

We did it!

I am officially Mrs. Guillory now, and I love it! I can't wait to get our pictures back from Maggie and Josh! I could not have asked for a better day to get married on. The sun was shining and it was actually kind of warm too. I feel so blessed that we have such great friends and family.

Kauai was so beautiful. Unfortunately it rained most of the time we were there (there was even a flash flood warning!) but it was still about 80 degrees the whole time and we still had a blast checking the whole island out. We got to see pretty much all of the beaches on the island, the Wiamea Canyon, and some other really cool places.

Pictures coming soon...

Tagged

Per Mandy...

Here's how you play: Once you've been 'tagged', you have to write a blog of 7 weird / random facts/ habits/goals about yourself. At the end choose 6 people to be tagged, listing their names. You can't tag the person who tagged you, since you can't tag me back - let me know when you've posted your blog so I can see your answers.

1. Colt watches really weird shows about earthquakes and volcanoes, and the other day we were watching a show on the top 10 explosions in the U.S.... I know, I know... anyway, the number one explosion, the biggest/worst one in U.S. history was in 1986 in Las Vegas... and I was living there at that time and I totally remember it!

2. I love the smell of bleach, fresh cut grass, and dryer sheets.

3. I'm really weird about expiration dates on food...even if it smells ok, I'll still throw it out if it's past it's date.

4. Like Mandy, I also love getting up early, but ONLY if I have nothing to do that day. Saturday mornings are the best. I love getting up early, and slowly waking up on the couch catching up on DVR's with a cup of tea.

5. God has blessed me with more than I could have asked for.

6. I couldn't say my name when I was little so I called myself Nini, and my aunt still calls me Nini to this day.

7. If I could be famous for anything, I would be a famous writer. I would love to write books for a living!

I tag my sister, all my cousins, and Andrea. GO...

My Little Chef

For dinner Colt made a Mushroom and White Bean Chili Wrap. Now who would want to learn how to cook when I have my very own personal chef with me?

Midnight Sun

I've finished the 'Twilight Saga' and I loved them! I'm now currently reading a portion of Stephenie Meyer's, Midnight Sun, that she has posted online (264 pages!). Midnight Sun is the story of Twilight but through Edward's point of view. I love that it's the same story, yet so different from another character's point of view. Again, if you haven't given these books a try, I highly recommend them. Out of everybody I know that has read them, only 1 person wasn't completely obsessed, and I think there is something wrong with her! 

Allyson Mae

I finally got to meet my new baby cousin, and she's amazing!

The Twilight Saga

I've been avoiding these books for several months now because they just didn't look like my style, I mean come on, Vampires???  But I LOVE them. I'm currently on the 3rd book, Eclipse. If you haven't read them yet, I highly recommend them. 

I wanted to post an update... since I haven't written anything since the beginning of August! There have been a few exciting things that have happened during this time, but I just haven't had any time to get on here and talk about them. 

On August 31, 2008 I ran my first 10k! I participated in the Nike Human Race and I had such a good time. I did it with my friends Megan Normandin and Lynsee Tassa and I think we all did so great, considering we didn't train for it at all. We started at 8:00 am and we crossed the finish line at 9:20. 

On September 12th, Colt's cousin Mandy got married to Shane, and the wedding was beautiful! And, on September 29th (I think) my friend Kelsey got engaged! Congrats! 

Gus at the Beach

Colt and I decided that it was time to take Gus to see the Ocean :) So we packed up quickly for a last minute trip to Seaside. Gus didn't seem fazed by the ocean but he LOVED the sand! Here are some pictures of our day...

You can tell by the sand all over his face that he had lots of fun...

New Blogger!

Hey! 

I've decided to start a blog to keep everybody updated on things going on with us. We don't have a baby but we do have a "Gus" AND we're remodeling the house, so there will be lots of pics of both Gus and the house. Welcome to our site :)
