"In The City" Photo Shoot

After many request from trendy magazines and leading model agencies Eddie, Mike, Destiny and myself agreed to do a photo shoot. They wanted to fly us out to the Bahamas for the shoot, but we would have none of that (everyone knows only rookies go there). We told them we would only do it in the exotic and original Exchange Place in downtown Salt Lake City. They of course agreed. Now being the down to earth, not effected by my super-star statues kind of person, I have placed some of the best shots below for you all. You get the privilege of viewing these breath taking photos before they hit all the newsstands and billboards. Enjoy !!!!


















































I hope you all enjoyed the photos. I would also like to congratulate Mike and Destiny on their engagement, I am so happy for you two. I am excited that my little sister is getting married to such a wonderful man. Have a Wonderful Day everyone and I would love to see your most recent "Photo Shoot"

Pink is my favorite color!

So, as you can see I finally figured out how to change the background....Go me!!! I am so Smart "S-M-R-T". Now that I figured it out I will probably change it offend. "Why?” you ask....Just because I can. WOW, I have had too much coffee this morning. Have a wonder-filled day here are some quotes that made my morning....

•Evening news is where they begin with 'Good evening', and then proceed to tell you why it isn't.
•If Barbie is so popular, why do you have to buy her friends?
•When everything's coming your way, you're in the wrong lane.
•Always remember that you are absolutely unique. Just like everyone else.
•If you can't see the bright side of life, polish the dull side.
•When I'm not in my right mind, my left mind gets pretty crowded.
•Everyone has a photographic memory. Some just don't have film.


I love life!! Today is a beautiful day. I am so happy for all the blessings God has given to me. Eddie I love you so much you are the best thing that has ever happened to me. Have a GREAT DAY!! One and all.

One Year....



Eddie and I were official married for one year on Saturday June 14th. WOW, time flies when you are having fun. This past years has been full of adventure, trials and error, fun, discovering, memories, romance and a whole lot of love. I have never felt so much love from one person than I do from Eddie. I have never loved one person more than I do Eddie. If I could some up this past year I would have to say.... It has been a life worth living and I got to do it all with my best friend.

To celebrate our anniversary Eddie and I started the day out by sleeping until about 9 am. When we finally got up, I made us very large smothered breakfast burritos. After we finished breakfast Eddie fixed our A/C unit (I know it was so romantic) while I got myself ready and looking sexy. When we were both finished with those things, we hopped on the motorcycle.

Eddie took us for a ride to where we had our second date and where he proposed to me. We ate peaches and looked out at the beautiful view.



That night Eddie and I checked into the elegant Grand America Hotel.


I fell in love with the bathroom, big jetted bath tub with bubble bath, who wouldn't.

We had a romantic dinner at The Melting Pot, where they serve fondue style meals. It was really good food and great conversation.


After we finished dinner, we walked back to the Hotel to watch our wedding video. The TV in our room was not good enough for us (at least that is what Eddie thought) so he went and got a flat Screen from his office. I tell you what, even on our anniversary I can't get that boy away from A/V stuff. God knows I love that man.

The best part of watching the wedding video was when I felt silly for crying, I would look over at Eddie and he had tears in his eyes also.
It was a wonderful way to spend our anniversary. I wouldn't have changed it for the world. Here are photos that Eddie and I took of ourselves. I know, I know, we are really hot!!

I look forward to spending the rest of my life with Eddie. I thank you God everyday for placing this man in my life and all the other blessing in my life. I will try everyday to have the convenent marriage you intended for us.

P.S. Thank you to My mom and dad for the beautiful card and gift. Thank you to Uncle tom and Aunt Renea for the wonderful card and thank you Aunt P.J., Uncle Kelly and Family for the really cool E-card

Tell me what you think...

I received this email from a friend and found it interesting. I have not made up my mind about how I really feel about it yet. But I would love to hear your feelings about this........
Forget the politics and just think seriously about what Jay is presenting!!!

No matter what your political convictions are, this is eye opener.
What a thankless people we are!!!

Subject: Jay Leno on President Bush (Surprising)

Jay Leno wrote this; it's the Jay Leno we don't often see....

As most of you know I am not a President Bush fan, nor have I ever been, but this is not about Bush, it is about us, as Americans, and it seems to hit the mark.
'The other day I was reading Newsweek magazine and came across some Poll data I found rather hard to believe. It must be true given the source, right?
The Newsweek poll alleges that 67 percent of Americans are unhappy with the direction the country is headed and 69 percent of the country is unhappy with the performance of the President. In
essence 2/3 of the citizenry just ain't happy and want a change.
So being the knuckle dragger I am, I started thinking,
'What are we so unhappy about?''

A.. Is it that we have electricity and running water 24 hours a day, 7 Days a week?

B.. Is our unhappiness the result of having air conditioning in the summer and heating in the winter?

C.. Could it be that 95.4 percent of these unhappy folks have a job?

D Maybe it is the ability to walk into a grocery store at any
time and see more food in moments than Darfur has seen
in the last year?

E.. Maybe it is the ability to drive our cars and trucks from
the Pacific Ocean to the Atlantic Ocean without having to present identification papers as we move through each state?

F.. Or possibly the hundreds of clean and safe motels we would find along the way that can provide temporary shelter?

G.. I guess having thousands of restaurants with varying cuisine from around the world is just not good enough either.

H. Or could it be that when we wreck our car, emergency workers show up and provide services to help all and even send a helicopter to take you to the hospital.

I.. Perhaps you are one of the 70 percent of Americans who own a home.

J.. You may be upset with knowing that in the unfortunate case of a fire, a group of trained firefighters will appear in
moments and use top notch equipment to extinguish the
flames, thus saving you, your family, and your belongings.

K.. Or if, while at home watching one of your many flat screen TVs, a burglar or prowler intrudes, an officer equipped with a gun and a bullet-proof vest will come to defend you and your family against attack or loss.

L.. This all in the backdrop of a neighborhood free of bombs
or militias raping and pillaging the residents. Neighborhoods
where 90% of teenagers own cell phones and computers.

M.. How about the complete religious, social and political freedoms we enjoy that are the envy of everyone in the world?

Maybe that is what has 67% of you folks unhappy.

Fact is, we are the largest group of ungrateful, spoiled brats the world has ever seen. No wonder the world loves the U.S., yet has a great disdain for its citizens. They see us for what we are. The most blessed people in the world who do nothing but complain about what we don't have, and what we hate about the country instead of thanking the good Lord we live here.

I know, I know. What about the president who took us into war and has no plan to get us out? The president who has a measly 31 percent approval rating? Is this the same president who guided the nation in the dark days after 9/11? The president that cut taxes to bring an economy out of recession? Could this be the same guy who has been called every name in the book for succeeding in keeping all the spoiled ungrateful brats safe from terrorist attacks? The
commander in chief of an all-volunteer army that is out there
defending you and me?

Did you hear how bad the President is on the news or talk show?
Did this news affect you so much, make you so unhappy you couldn't take a look around for yourself and see all the good
things and be glad? Think about it......are you upset at the
President because he actually caused you personal pain OR is it because the 'Media' told you he was failing to kiss your sorry ungrateful behind every day. Make no mistake about it.

The troops in Iraq and Afghanistan have volunteered to serve, and in many cases may have died for your freedom.

There is currently no draft in this country. They didn't have to go.
They are able to refuse to go and end up with either a
''general'' discharge, an 'other than honorable'' discharge or,
worst case scenario, a ''dishonorable'' discharge after a few days in the brig.

So why then the flat-out discontentment in the minds of 69 percent of Americans?

Say what you want but I blame it on the media. If it bleeds it leads and they specialize in bad news. Everybody will watch a
car crash with blood and guts. How many will watch kids
selling lemonade at the corner?

The media knows this and media outlets are for-profit
corporations. They offer what sells, and when criticized, try to
defend their actions by 'justifying' them in one way or another.
Just ask why they tried to allow a murderer like O.J. Simpson to write a book about how he didn't kill his wife, but if he did he would have done it this way......Insane!



Turn off the TV, burn Newsweek, and use the New York Times for the bottom of your bird cage. Then start being grateful for all we have as country. There is exponentially more good than bad. We are among the most blessed people on Earth and should thank God several times a day, or at least be thankful and appreciative.'

'With hurricanes, tornados, fires out of control, mud slides, flooding, severe thunderstorms tearing up the country from one end to another, and with the threat of bird flu and terrorist attacks, 'Are we sure this is a good time to take God out of the Pledge of Allegiance?'

To My Sister-in-law...

Some days this "Grown up" thing is not as cool as it seems. I think that everyone has their hard times, some have it harder than others. Some of these “hard time” are real issues that you can't ignore and other I believe to be emotionally driven rather than a "real issue".

I was reading a posting that my sister-in-law Ashli wrote on her blog this morning, she seemed to be dealing with some hard time. I love Ashli and her family so very much that I wanted to take a minute and share some word with her......

Ashli, I have to say I look up to you, because how brave, strong, level headed and held-together you are. Not only because of how well you have handled what life has dealt you this past 6 month, but because of how I see you as a mother, a wife, a sister, a sister-in-law, a Christian and a daughter.
As a Mother, you have done an amazing job raising two very smart, funny and happy girls. These two girls are going to grow up to be beautiful respectful adults. Plus, let’s face it you have to be very brave to be a parent.

As a Wife, I see how much you care, love and nurture Brain. You make me want to be that kind of wife for Eddie.

As a Sister, I see you as being very important and loved by Eddie and Craig. Whenever I thank Eddie for being a gentleman he says" Don't thank me it was my sister, she taught me how to treat women with respect". Ashli ,I am thanking you now.

As a Sister-in-law, you made me feel like a part of the family from the moment you meet me. You have treated me as a sister rather than an in-law. To me you are the "big sister" I always wanted. You make me want to be a better "big sister" to my sister Destiny.

As a Christian, you set an example of how all people should be in their faith in god.

As a Daughter, I see how much Larry any Phyllis adore their little girl. Even though you are hundreds of miles away you still have a really close relationship with your mother, more so then her sons that live in the same town :) . Your father was telling a story about when you were born and how protective he was of his little girl. It made me want to cry it was so cute.

Ashli, Eddie and I love you so much. I could close by saying so quote like...... When life hands you lemons make lemonade, but instead I am going to tell you something that my Grandma said to be when I was going through a really hard time in my life........
Sometimes the only things you feel you can tell god are all the things that go are wrong in your life. To me those are some of the best days to thank god.
Smile we all love you and thank you for being Ashli.

What happens when Brittany takes a test......

So... I took a test on a friend's blog. Everyone knows I am a princess anyway, now we know who in the princess world I represent and it is Pocahantas. I will try and convince Eddie to take the test so we can see who he is. I am thinking he is Jasmine. If you want to know who you are, take the test below. Let me know which princess you are. I really hope Ally likes Pocahantas!

Free-spirited and wise. You have a strong passionate spirit that touches and changes all who know you. The wisdom and common sense that you have is really what guides you through life. Even so, you also have a very playful side that loves adventure and excitement.


PRINCESS TEST

Continue the Tour...

This was the first project we completed. It is the bedroom. Class, listen up, when you are a newlywed, the bedroom should always be the first project. It is the center of the marriage. Many seasoned married veterans will tell you its the kitchen, but write this down because it will be on the test... The bedroom is the most important project of a new marriage, more on that in the 201 class next year, for now here are some pictures.



















































































































Next we have one of our favorite rooms. It is Eddies favorite room by far. It is called the Den, or the Redroom, you'll see why. This room is very very cool, we feel it is very modern, but also very comfortable. Here we keep our 50" plasma with playstation 3 and surround sound system. Come on over we'll watch a movie in HIGH DEF! (installed by Eddie Greenwood, of course). Brittany loves this room because it has all her books, and has great lighting. It is so warm (I learned that term from her decoration books!) Anyway, with out further adu here are the pics.





































































































This is our Wine Bar located in the Kitchen, before, it was just a shelf.




































Okay, its time for recess, go play and when you come back we'll finish the tour.
