Happy Anniversary to me!

Friday the 18th was our one year wedding anniversary!! We celebrated by going to Chaz's god friends Mike Dobbins' wedding in the temple that same day! It was so neat to be there exactly one year later! We headed straight to california where we stayed at the Radisson hotel near Disneyland! Chaz works for Wells Fargo and they hooked us up! I love Disneyland it IS the Happiest place on EARTH!! I loved every moment of being there at Christmas time! Since im still feeling car sick from the trip, thats all ill say. Here are some pics:

I need advice!!!!

K so here's my dilema! I am not nauseas anymore except when it comes to FOOD! But its so unfortunate because Ill eat takeout instead of cooking! The thought of cooking makes my stomach churn in the worse way! I have to hurry and eat before i smell any one food for too long. So im afraid im gonna turn into that guy who ate Mcdonalds every day for a month and gained like a billion pounds! Any tips?!?!

Its O.K.

its ok to:
*sleep 12 hours some nights, on top of the frequent naps.

*text your husband as he's getting off work to let him know there isn't a warm meal waiting for him at home.

*Eat Pete's fish and chips because if you don't have it that moment you will surely die.

*Cry at The end of Disney movies (I do it anyway).

*Take multiple hot baths a night

Yep, im not feeling very well and i've "let myself go". K not really, but it feels that way for now. Oh well im enjoying the ride and it'll be worth it! Oh yeah, Black Friday shopping was so much fun!!! I wanna do it every year!

New Moon anyone? I have a treat for you!

Back in May the hubby and I took a roadtrip to his old stomping grounds- Vancouver Canada. Its where he served his mission for the church. Well my awesome husband looked up the locations where New Moon was being wrapped up while we were there! What a nice guy! We did tons of other stuff too, but Ill share the New Moon pics with u!

This is where Twilight was filmed, but not New Moon. Such a cute school!!
Emmett's Jeep?



Yep, Bella's house!!!!!!!

Oh and I TOTALLY talked the security guard into letting me on the set!! Lucky!

Some random other house across from Bella's... he said they filmed there too, wonder what it is?

The forrest next to Bella's house (i think where Edward leaves her)

Just us;

No lie we just drove past this and I snapped the shot! The outside of the movie theatre

You best believe this is where they filmed the interior scenes for the movies!

Oh and you also better believe we watched a movie in it too! Biggest, oldest theatre in Vancouver!

So whose excited for New Moon?!!!!!

Little Scrat gets what she had coming to her! A bath!

ScRAt is almost 3 months old and had never had a bath! Ew! I agree. So today she was really being a terror, biting me and jumping up on the couch to get my string cheese so I decided i'd teach her a lesson and give her a bath. It was HILARIOUS! She didn't make a sound in the bath tub, she was so mad ha ha ha. But then afterward she was crazier than ever. Lesson learned.

P.s. I uploaded the pics backward, oh well

Love,

Amber

I'm Expecting... yes, A BABY!!!

I was quite astonished Wednesday Night when I took a test and it showed up positive! But it did, and I guess Im gonna be a mommy ready or not! I went hunting the very next morning with my dad because I couldn't break his heart and bail the night before my deer hunt. I do believe Im the best daughter in the world for that one. No i didn't get a deer, yes this was my third deer hunt and it for sure snowed! Cheers!
Love,
Amber

P.s. Chaz still doesn't really believe me that im pregnant, for reals. After more than a couple tests and Even though I cried, bawled yesterday when I said to him: "I wanna watch Hercules." He replied : "But we don't own Hercules." I was devastated as he spoke the words ha ha ha! what fun, 8 more months of that ahead of us!

A Friend In Need

My friend Alex aka "Alexa Mae" is going through a personal living nightmare. Her husband is in the hospital, and in desperate need of our prayers. If you don't know her or him, or their 2 beautiful children please include their family in your prayers anyways. It really does make a difference, I know that for a fact.
Lots of love,
Amber

What's there to do on a Saturday Night

Last night was our date night, every weekend we do date night. For instance, last weekend I planned our date and we went to the drive in movies in my parents convertible Ford Bronco. Ha ha it was surprisingly comfortable and the weather was so great. Well last night out plans got ruined, and I SOOO didn't feel like staying home. So Chaz and I kept brainstorming and all of a suddenly I realized I NEED a puppy! Like in the worst way! No joke, it came out of nowhere and I was not taking no for an answer! We immediatly went to the mall, where the animals apparently poop diamonds cause why else would I pay 1500 for this dog?! After we didn't buy the diamond pooping dog, we looked online and found this little bundle of joy out in Glendale! I love her! So this is Scrat, and she is my new puppy!

Happy Happy Birthdays!!

Today was my "young" husband's birthday!! I won't tell how old he is but he's 6 years my senior ; ). I reccomend marrying older, but thats just me. I'm biased. Anyways, it was a GREAT birthday! I was too busy enjoying the family gatherings to take pictures but there are 3 presents I will share with you :
1. The brand new Ipod, 160 GB!! That means nothing to me, but it can hold 40,000 songs, or like 200 movies. Ridiculous right?! Yeah, I bought it for him. Your welcome Chaz : ) 2. This 22 rifle that Chaz's dad bought right after mission (many moons ago, and its also his birthday today too-weird!) But my dad bought it off of my father in law some time ago and has spent a full year re finishing it! To the point Chaz didn't recognize it at first! Pretty sweet huh? We were all super surprised.

3. My brother Wayne's watch. Super sentimental and I love it!

My dad engraved: Wayne Gunnell

8-4-81 to 8-31-2009.

So here's the Happy Birthday Boy himself!! He's in heaven right now downloading all the songs he's wanted for so long. Happy Birthday Chaz (and Charlie) I love you!

F.R.I.E.N.D.S

Friends, who needs them? Well, to be honest I do! Truly, truly these girls are like family. There's nothing that could come between us! For reals. I love these girls! They are here for me before I even have to ask! And it goes both ways. I love you girls! Thank you! We were friends since elementary school, and even survived crazy hair days (or weeks/months)... *A special thanks to Sash for the pretty hair colors ; ) *

Late night gas station runs...... YES PLEASE

Keeping in touch post H.S. after everybody told us we wouldn't remain friends....

Aren't they beautiful!

Yes we still stay up late and talk about old times, and the "good old days"

And we party like there's no tomorrow! Point is I love all my friends! Whether I knew you in elementary school, Jr. High, High school, beauty school, or the brief year at MCC, chances are I was friends with these same girls and Im proud of that. I feel like its one of my life's greatest accomplishments to find TRUE FRIENDS that stick together through Thick and thin.
