Charging...

I am sitting in the UNLV library, waiting for class to start. I want my iPod to charge as much as it can so I can listen to Simon & Garfunkel of the Beatles as I am drawing... So I might get off and running, but then come to a complete stop, mid thought, much like my last entry did because I have to race across campus to draw. ;) So I had a photography assignment this weekend. We were to come to the library and find two books of photographers that we like. We have to talk about how interesting their work is and how we are going to incorporate their style into our work... Well, I found that the photography section is on the fifth floor of the Library, so my limpy butt took the elevator. And no, I don't feel bad. Elevators were partly made for tards like me. So I found the section and realized that photography to some is just porn. The books are really old and don't have covers with pictures on them, so naturally, you have to flip open the book and see the work that that photographer does. Well, apparently homosexuality is the hot topic for photographers. I was mortified when 4 SHELVES were filled with this crap. I don't know why people think that's art. I think it's gross. Even if it were heterosexual porn, it is just obscene and offensive. But I managed to find the nature and food photography section. It was sooooo fun after that. But anyways, I thought since my iPod is still charging, and I had a few minutes before class, I would rant about the sucky "artists" in the world now. I love art, and am so excited that it's my major, but I don't understand why it's an excuse for some to destroy morality. Egh.

On a lighter note, school is going to be long and awesome today, and I'm going to finish it off by working my butt off at the gym.

School Days... School Days...

Well, I haven't blogged since Christmas, but I'm sure you are all tired of reading Christmas blogs, so I will just say Christmas was the BOMB. It was wonderful to be with family and take a break from life for a while. After the BIG DAY, we went up to the house my parents have in New Harmony, Utah. We played in the snow, built stuff with legos, spent and ENTIRE DAY (I kid you not) down in the basement, playing Mario 64. By the way, Matt beat the game a few days later, and is still recovering from it.

So we got back and had a whole 2 weeks of no work and no school. So what do we do? We take advantage of it. We stayed up til at least 3 AM each night(/morning?) And never saw the light of day before 10:30 AM. Needless to say, we felt like absolute bums after that. So we quit.

School has started. It's my first time back in over a year. But my classes are AWESOME. I am majoring in Graphic Design. So I have all art classes. They are so fun. It's really not like school at all. I get to take pictures, develop them on my own, draw, paint, draw some more, sculpt, draw, bend things out of metal, and NEVER READ A BOOK!!! Not that I don't like to read.... I am really a reading fanatic. But textbooks? No one learned anything from one of those.......

Just 42 more days!!!

I know everyone ALWAYS feels this way, but where the H did the year go? Really, it's been about 86 seconds since last Christmas. But I'm not complaining. So siree. I LOVE Christmas. But I think this year is going to be extra special because now I have my own little tiny family. A.K.A. Matt & I. We will still be w/ the fam most of the time, but we get to start our own traditions for this Holiday Season.

We have already purchased our first Christmas decoration. We were in Albertsons one night looking for Cinnamon Syrup so I could jack the Starbucks Caramel Apple Cider recipe. Well, we had no luck finding it, but we did, however find a 3-foot tall Mickey Mouse dressed as Santa for 29.99 and bought that mother then. It's pretty sweet, and he is now residing royally on a side table in our front room.

We have a plan for our first Christmas tree. We are going to buy a tiny, sucky, Charlie Brown tree this year, and decorate it all up with random things that could be ornaments, but probably shouldn't be ornaments. But then right after Christmas, we will go find a nice artificial (it sucks to say fake, but everyone knows that it's what artificial means... :( ) tree with lights already built in. And then that will be our family Christmas tree for then until it falls apart.

We are so excited for the Christmas season. Not only do we get to celebrate the humble yet miraculous birth of our Savior, but we get to:

-bundle up in sweaters and beanies and scarves,

-drink hot chocolate,

-cuddle,

-find that PERFECT gift for someone you know,

-make fun of houses with really sucky lights on em,

-count the number of houses with lights on em when you are going from point A to point B,

-see your breath at night,

-go to the mall and not shop, but people watch,

-watch the already awesome, but a little more awesome cooking shows,

-be around lots of family,

-not go to school/work for at least a week,

-still after all these years not be able to go to sleep on Christmas Eve,

-and other Christmas-like activities.

So I dare any of you to try to tell me that there is a holiday better than this one. I triple-dog-dare you! ;)

Flopping...

Matt had a huge test yesterday, so when he got home from school, we just flopped (my family's work for just sitting around). Our friends Rick and Heather brought us back a pomegranate from his family's house. We got two bowls and the pomegranate and headed upstairs. We spent a whole hour peeling the thing and watching Criminal Minds. I love ppeeling pomegranates!! It's almost as satisfying as scraping popcorn off the ceiling, pulling feathers out of a feather pillow (Heather), or peeling glue off of my hand in elementary school. Plus, we found out that these mothers grow really well in Vegas, so Matt and I are looking into planting one in our front yard...

King Cutler. Does that make me Queen??

Well, life's been pretty normal lately. I'm working and Matt is going to school. Yadda yadda yadda... But a few big things have happened since...

A couple weeks ago was Matt's Homecoming week at UNLV. He was involved with a lot of activities, and was even nominated Homecoming King! He had to go through a lot to continue in the process. First, the club he is apart of nominates him. Then the committee checks his GPA and all that jazz, and once he is past that, he has an interview and also makes a banner to promote himself for Homecoming King. From those that complete the interview and banner, they are awarded points and the top 5 boys and top 5 girls advance to court. Then, the school votes. For a whole day, student get online and vote for who they want to win. At halftime during the football game, the winners are announced. Matt knew he wasn't going to win, but he did think a guy named Marco was going to. He had a lot of support from his frat brothers, and had a pretty good chance. Well, I guess at UNLV, they announce the runners up, which I think is a huge insult. That's saying, "Hey! You ALMOST won!!!" a.k.a. HUGE kick in the face. Well, the runner up for King was Marco! Then I really started to get nervous! Then they announced, "The 2008 UNLV Homecoming King is Matthew Cutler!!!" I couldn't believe it! Well, I guess I could, cause my husband is a freaking hottie with a body... ;) Everyone at UNLV knows and loves him, and he's pretty dang involved. He was shocked. And the other LDS girl on court, Ilse Zuniga won as well!!! It was such a fun night, and Matt rocked that crown and gay scepter like no one's bid-ness. And then we went home and went to sleep, cause that's how married couples roll. ;)

Matt and Ilse with Chelsea Milko. Matt is such a tard.

Matt with Ari, his campaign manager for that week. ;)

My Husband is the BOMB

This post won't be big, but I just want to let everyone know that it is so nice to be able to have a husband that loves me and that cares. I know Heavenly Father cares so much about me, cause He showed me that this little goof ball tard from Idaho, would be exactly what I need.
