my fave's!

Ok, let's talk about some of my favorite things for just a minute. I have lots of fave's these days, and I thought I'd share.

First off:

1. Wipeout. We LOVE this show...I don't think we've ever laughed so hard at one show before as we do on Wednesday nights watching this gem. Honestly, when I first saw the previews for this show, it looked pretty lame to me. Well, it turned out not only to be awesome, but probably Jared's favorite show of all time. We've watched it for a couple seasons now, and are pretty big fans. Seriously. So funny. 2. another t.v. show: SYTYCD! (so you think you can dance) I had forgotten how much I love this show. Jared knows that every week I am bound to break out a (poorly executed) arabesque after watching it. It makes me wish I was a dancer sooooo much! It's pretty awesome. And we love the music they dance to, it's always so good. It kicks Dancing with the Star's trash. (what is the hype about that show anyway!?! I don't get it.)3. Costco animal crackers with milk. No joke, our FAVORITE snack ever! You just toss a couple animals in a glass of milk at a time....let them soak for 3 seconds (NO longer.)...scoop them back up and it's like heaven! We just bought our second tub yesterday.4. My Calling. I have been in the primary presidency for over a year now, and my time there is coming to an end. We've always had a teeny little primary, but as of now we only have ONE kid, who is moving this week. I LOVE this kid. He makes us laugh constantly with his one liners and funny ideas. I'm going to miss him, and my lovely calling.5. My Sonicare Toothbrush. I have to put a plug in for good oral hygiene :) It's wonderful. If you don't have one, Costco has two for pretty much the price of one...such a good deal. It makes the biggest difference. I had to brush manually for a few months between electric toothbrushes, and it was not great. I am addicted to electric. Speaking of teeth, I also have the BEST job. I work one day a week at pretty much the ideal dental office. I look forward to Wednesdays because everyone I work with I LOVE, and have some awesome patients. It's pretty much a party every week.6. Running. Gracie and I go running every morning these days (except Sundays), and I love it. It just makes my day go better and makes me feel so good. I love being in good shape and challenging my body. Provo does have some crazy hills though, that, to be completely honest, sometimes I don't love so much...but they are a good challenge. I think I've loved running ever since playing soccer in High School where we ran like crazy. 7. Classical Music. I grew up listening to classical music my Mom would play, and have always loved it. Whenever Gracie and I are in the car I always will turn the radio to a classical music station. It's so peaceful. I still love other kinds of music, but it's good to change it up now and then. If you haven't heard the Pride and Prejudice soundtrack, you need to. It's so amazing. Also, Pandora has some really good classical stations.8. Lastly, Gracie's tooth-y little smile. She sure knows how to cheese it these days. She smiles big, squints her eyes and makes a little high-pitched squeal. We love it and crack up every time she does it. It's so dang cute! She totally knows how to win her parents over already. Here's a sideways video showing off her new teeth (they are even higher now):

P.S. Gracie laughs so hard when she watches this video of herself laughing so hard....silly girl.
