My Name Is Jessica and I'm Addicted

To the freakin' Bachelorette! I really don't watch ANY TV, but I do catch my shows online when Brody is napping or at night after I have put him to bed. Which is why I can justify watching this smut, also because it is the absolute perfect coupon cutting show because you only have to be half paying attention to watch it.

The following is a list of my favorite saying/moments from this weeks episode:
  • While looking at the first impression rose Daniel Boone, the "outdoorsey" guy from Colorado who got booted said, "If I could eat it, I would take it into my soul forever."
  • I can't remember which guy said it but, "I think Craig maybe is here to get more hair products." (He's the guy with the "tupee")
  • After the bland lawyer guy was ousted from the conversation with Johnathon and Ali, "The weatherman didn't let me get a word in."
  • Multiple bachelors while speaking to their dogs, "I'm going to go find your mommy and bring her home to you." Creepy....
  • Ali-"You're wicked awesome" Random bachelor-"Your wicked hot."
  • Love this one, Jessie-"I'm going to make her something to remember me by. I made it with my jigsaw."
  • Are you really surprised when you get kicked off of bachelorette when you explain that your nickname was given to you because you ejaculate early. Big shocker there!
  • The weatherman-"You can't go wrong with a broken leg, I'm now thinking about breaking my arm."
  • Speaking of Roberto getting the first impression rose, "He did some Hot Sauce dance."
  • Craig R-"Here's your mini-yellow sneaker. Now I have one and you have one."
  • My name is Hunter, look at my Ukelele.

BUT MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITE--

"I think she really liked the scrapbook"

Does TV really get any better than this?

Old News...You Already Know


Blake turned 31 or 33 or 37...who's counting and we had an awesome time celebrating. We celebrated over a week. First of all, tried out the new Sushi Ya all-you-can-eat sushi bar in Layton. Yumsy yumsy. We went on a Friday night and they were super busy but high quality good tasting sushi. Blake LOVED it. But not as much as this guy...
Ricco Suave here, na that's just our good friends Jake and Alayna. Jake is a sushi nut, it was almost as fun watching him talk about and eat the sushi as it was actually eating the sushi. Jake and Blake have been friends for as long as they have been alive, and coincidentally enough their birthdays are a few weeks apart. Blake aspires to be as committed as a hunter as Jake, not all of us can have our hunting victory stories published in Eastman's Bowhunting Magazine! =)
Blake loves fish, he always has. Before I moved into his home I made him ditch his huge massive fish tank and pond he had in the house. The man loves fish: eating it, touching it, snorkeling with it etc... so for his Birthday we went to the Living Planet Aquarium. First of all, prepare yourself for the world's longest commute. We might as well have driven to Wendover, it seemed super long. Second, it is still in a "developmental" stage, I would say. So don't have super high expectations. It was cool, we saw some awesome things. The penguins were active, the staff fed the octopus by hand while we were there, never seen that before, but other than that, not much else.
Brody did NOT want to touch the stingrays. Blake felt it was sort of anti-climatic to touch them when you've actually snorkeled with them in the middle of the Caribbean. Brody hopped up on this frog and licked all the e-coli, pink eye and RSV germs off of it.We then had some time to kill before our dinner reservation and Aunt Alyson getting off of work to pick up Brody, so we hung out at Temple Square. This is terrible, but neither Blake nor myself had been to Temple Square since our marriage almost 5 years ago. It was amazing to go back. The Spirit is so strong on the temple grounds. I kept telling Brody that he was supposed to marry Corrinne Hurd here someday, after his mission. I told him I would pay for it if he did.
Brody took this picture of us. Like I said, we've almost been married for 5 years. It has gone by in a blur. Blake is an amazing man. Daily I am in awe that I am lucky enough to be married to him. He and Brody are now best buds. I am overwhelmed thinking about the bond that they already share between each other. Blake has the biggest heart, he would give you the shirt off of his back. He is always serving others. He is a selfless person. I am humbled to be his wife.
We then went through the South Visitor's Center where it talks about how the temple was constructed and built. The Sister Missionaries wanted to kidnap Brody and then they challenged us to Baptism. No, but they were certainly fulfilling their callings and being persistent about missionary activation.

What kind of parent puts their kid in the dryer anyways so they can have the photo op?
