Mark + Annie: March 2008

Almost Done

I have been working on the condo quite a bit, and now I am almost done, besides the office and the guest room. Here is what it looks like. It's missing the portraits, headboard, and drapes.

Presley

My mom asked my to take of her dog Presley for a few days; so I did. YOU THINK A LITTLE KID WATCHES TOO MUCH TV, THINK AGAIN! My dog is the funniest dog in the world! For specifics, here ya go: she barks at people making out, the simpsons, family guy, and other wild animals on tv. However; she loves her cartoons. When you change the channel, she gets up, walks to where ever it is you are and just stares at you as if she were looking into your soul. After you change it back, she licks you and walks back to where ever it is she was and sits back down as if nothing had ever happened. Ya I know, random...

Here is that stare I was talking about....

Don't Ask...

We were bored; that's all I have to say.

Sorry Charly....

So, I am very sorry for literally being the laziest/boring blogger. I have heard it all and I apologize yet again.

Natalie Monson- Ya know how you tagged me like forever ago with that 10 pictures blog? Well I decided to do a "remix"..... I am going to do a chronilogical version.

Pre-Acquaintance

Before we met, we had very active lives. We were dating, hiking, wakeboarding, climbing, working, you get the idea.....

In this particular picture, my friend Kristy Jordan and I went on a run to Stewart Falls. If you know where that is or if you have ever been there, it has an extremely steep hill to get up to the falls. It was not hard to get up the hill, it was coming down the hill where I ran into problems. Kristy was in front of me and I didnt want to run into the back of her so I squatted so I could slow down, and as I did, I shot down and slid the entire way until I literally was stopped by a rock and some weeds. Since we ran all the way there, we decided it would be wise to just walk, mostly because that was all I could really do besides waddle.

Out hiking with the family in Orderville Canyon.

Havasupai so beautiful! I want to go so bad!

Check this picture out! Mark is so good at taking pictures~! (for a guy) Ha ha no he is amazing!

Mark loves this picture of himself.... he says "It's cool, okay?!" Yes Mark, it IS very cool!

Bouldering freestyle with my good friend Jamie Sagers. We went down in Provo Canyon and let me tell you! We took a lot of pictures and had a blast! Jamie is seriously the funniest girl you will ever know. She is really shy around people, but since we grew up together, she is the biggest knee slapper there is! P.s. she is 6'5".

Mark and Russell went shark diving..... (look at Mark's eyes!) If you haven't seen the video of those two going down there, come and see it~! It looks crazy down there with those huge sharks everywhere!

Me and Franz here were just enjoying the sights at Park City....FUNNY STORY! I dont think Mark knows about this story. Our photo class went to Park City to take pictures for our portfolios. While we were up there, Jamie and I were taking random pictures and out of no-where this guy that walks past me, then turns around and asks me where I was from. So I told him, then I made up some story of why I was in Park City; I told him I was a traveling photographer. He told me he was in town to start a wine business. I tried to change to topic and leave but he insisted that he helped me out with the pictures. I told him it was no necessary. He understood and gave me his card and kissed my hand. He said if I was ever in town, that I should call him and we could have a romantic evening together. Might I add he was balding and was probably in his forties..... If only he knew I was only 17........

Washing up at Lake Powell with some of my buddies.....

This is a picture of my friend Mica and me at Graduation.

Good Old Miss Orem Pageant- It was such a growing experience. I learned how to public speak, I tutored kids, I learned how to walk, I learned how to cake make-up on my face and clog my pores.... It was a blast!

Pre-Dating

When we pre-dated, we hung out a lot at our parents' homes, with other friends and all that junk.

Dating

We didnt lose sight of each other. Even though I was in the hospital, lounging all of the time, or even sleeping, we were unable to be apart.

Just so you know, Mark is amazing. After I came home from the hospital, Mark would come over during his lunches and after work and stay with me until 10 or 11 at night. Even though I was really high on Percocet, he was always there. He was soooooo cute. He brought me 3 white roses and some balloons, so I put them next to my recliner where I had to sleep for a month.

Sometimes he got tired too so I was his pillow.

Engaged

Engaged??? We were practically married folks! I mean who is really engaged these days? Huh? NO ONE. Hence, we were literally always together.... other than work of course.....

I cant find our pictures of our Engagement night, but here is the sum of that day. We went to The Roof, then we went on a horse drawn carriage through Memory Grove. It was so romantic.....

This was at my fist bridal shower. My friends Jenn and Mica came. Oh the girl in the middle was the girl I was going to set Alan up with, but I just kinda forgot.
