"they say it's your birthday.. it's my birthday too yeah!"

Since both our birthdays are in june I decided it's easier to do one post.  Jason turned 28 and I turned 23.  I like to tease Jason that I am finally the same age as him when we first met!!  That is a little strange to think about and i feel like i am really old- haha!  We both had great birthdays spent eating practically all day.  For Jason's birthday we ate free krispy kreme doughnuts for breakfast, free firehouse for lunch, and free Joe's Farm Grill for dinner because they all give out free bday meals.  We bought Jack Johnson tickets for October so that was his present.  For my birthday I did the same except for dinner we went to Streets of NY pizza with my family.  We really didn't do anything too exciting but it was fun spending the day doing whatever we wanted and then hanging out with my family at night.  I got birthday money from my parents and I bought myself a vintage '54 Western Flyer beach cruiser that I love!  It is so cute and fun to ride.  I still love having my birthday but I feel that it gets a little more depressing each year the older i get.  I really wish I could stay my age now for the rest of my life and not get any older.. which obviously is impossible!  I just hope that I enjoy the same things now as I get older and keep hobbies rather than get bored with life.  Anyways here are some pics from our bdays!

Sweet Dreams

I am slightly obsessed with stop-motion animation right now.  I have seen so many amazing and clever videos that I am sure had a lot of time and effort put into them.  This one is one of my favorites!  It's 10 minutes but I think it's worth watching.

Catherine's wedding

Jason's sister Catherine's wedding was last month and it was the most amazing wedding I have ever been to!  She had a '40s theme and had collected antique and vintage items from thrift stores and various places.  I couldn't believe all of the incredible things she had found! Her mom made her dress and she looked gorgeous.  It really was the most creative and beautiful wedding I have ever seen.

You can check out some of her pictures on the photographers blog: http://danagrantphotography.com/catie-ben-vintage-arizona-wedding-part-1/
She was also featured on greenweddingshoes http://greenweddingshoes.com/real-wedding-catie-bens-vintage-inspired-backyard-wedding/ which is very cool!

I was excited the photographer got a picture of Jason and I :)

death to the silver bullet

i had to say goodbye to my little silver corolla in january.  i got in 3 accidents in a span of 2 months and i'm happy to say that not one of them was my fault.  i was rear-ended twice and the thing that did my car in was when jason smashed into a lady that abruptly pulled in front of him. i swear my corolla had a target on it.  luckily noone got hurt in any of the accidents... and to make things even better we were able to keep the money from all 3 accidents because we didn't get one fixed before it happened again.  i had my heart set on another corolla because i was really attached to my old one... until i got a 2010 ford fusion rental car. i had that thing for a week (with free satellite radio) and it was very hard to let it go. but it took 6 weeks of jason picking me up from work in his un-aircondioned car to find what we were looking for.  so we drove up to showlow and got this beauty-
                                                           

so its not a '10 but an '07 is still an upgrade from my '04 corolla.  AND its a v6 which i can't help but speed with.  it is so smooth that i can't even tell i'm going that fast.  another thing we were very excited about is that it has a direct feed plug for my ipod so i don't have to use my fuzzy radio cord anymore.  that is something that i was really hoping for because i only listen to my ipod and hardly ever the radio.  its amazingly clear! i am very VERY happy with it!

**per jason's request here is a picture of his first demolition derby
