Market Research and text book



This morning I went to do a market research focus group for my car. I love my car, its a Chrysler Town and Country. I love that its a Van, I know people aren't van people but I love it.

I swear if I could do focus groups all day long, seriously I would be a rich lady. They paid me $250 to talk in a group about my opinions and show them my car and go in different cars and tell them if I like them or not. Seriously. I actually had a lot of fun.

Now I am in love with the Ford Flex, seriously an awesome car. I wish that I had it, but don't tell me van, she might get her feelings hurt!

Funny story, the guy looking through my car and asking me about the features that I liked saw my children's primary song cds and said, "oh I see you got your primary songs."
I said, "Are you LDS?" he said yes, and that he was from the Detroit area.

Then he said, "When I was watching the tape, (we were filmed and recorded in a separate room from the researchers) I knew that you were LDS and I grabbed your file first so I could confirm."
Then I said, "What made you so sure??"
To which he said, "Oh with your answers, and how you look, you were text book Mormon, southern california girl.?"

What? I wasn't offended but when I asked him what he meant, he couldn't give me a good answer except that I was just "text book."

Thinking about it, I was not offended I was happy, happy that maybe a little bit of the light of Christ was shining through?? Maybe?

Or maybe it was the fact that I am 24, driving a mini-van with two children???

What do you think?

This one is for Chels and my mom!

"I believe in pink. I believe that laughing is the best calorie burner. I believe in kissing, kissing a lot. I believe in being strong when everything seems to be going wrong. I believe that happy girls are the prettiest girls. I believe that tomorrow is another day and I believe in miracles" -Audrey Hepburn


I love this quote, a friend of mine had this on her Facebook today and it made my day and made me think of Chelsea because she loves a good quote! Have a happy friday!

Wanna be really happy? Check this out, such a cute adoption story. I thought of my mom and dad her three angel babies. And I love adoption so so much. Go here and watch the video it is AWESOME!

The Blind Side


Have you seen the previews for this movie. I honestly no kidding have seen the trailer, three times and I have cried every SINGLE time! No kidding. It reminds me of my mom and dad. Having three siblings who are bi-racial and don't look like us, it just makes me happy to see this movie. Sandra Bullock's character reminds me of my mom, my mom would fight for the right and do something like this. I am getting teary just writing this. Most people are excited for New Moon and don't get me wrong, I am too, but I am really really really excited for this movie.

All Hallow's Eve


Charlee was asleep in like two minutes.



Such a fun night, we went to my parents' neighborhood and had a neighborhood potluck and then just walked around with our little family. It was great and Reese was really good and polite and such a cute little fifties girl. Charlee was a trooper, her bedtime is around 7 or so and she hung in there.

P.S. does anyone know why my pictures look so grainy? How do you get them big and not grainy? I am blog illiterate!
