Halloween

So here are some pictures from our Halloween activities. We had lots of trick-or-treaters this year which was fun. I teased Jason for getting 3 bags of candy because usually we only get like 5 kids knocking on our door, but I guess he was inspired this year. Jason and I dressed up in our typical bee and bee keeper costumes. Lucky for us all the friends who had seen us in these costumes over the past few years are gone, so it was like wearing new costumes. I just haven't had the time or the desire to find new couples costumes for us. Anyway, we went over to Brooke and Max's and made a carmel apple, which Jason devoured as soon as we got home, I believe his exact words were "Man, I forgot how good these things are"!! Our friends Brittany and JP were also there and they had the best costumes. JP was a woman (he looked like a woman of the night, if you know what I mean) and Brittany was a man, a very white trash man. They looked AWESOME!!! After that we went over to our friends Adam and Darcie's halloween party. We don't get to hang out with them as much as we would like so it was really fun to see them and hear what they are up to. They just finished an album together, you can check it out on itunes. Overall we had a very fun night.
We carved a pumpkin on Tuesday night, once again we are so nerdy so we carved the Apple logo, it isn't so much that we are nerdy, just uncreative and excited for Jason's job!!
Here we are with JP and Brittany

Here is a picture of my cute sister, Mom and niece. Letty was an Indian, Mom was mother nature, and Lys was little red riding hood, I can't wait to be closer so I can be there for these fun pictures!!!

Pre-Halloween Weekend

This past weekend was pretty busy. On Friday night Jason and I confirmed our nerdiness, and helped out at the BYU Leopard launch party. For those who aren't quite as nerdy, Leopard is the new operating system for Macs. It is pretty cool, Jason insisted that I watch a 30 minute video before he would install it on my computer, so I did, and I must say it has some pretty cool features. At the party I manned the Steve Jobs bean bag toss, there was also a Bill Gates dart board and other games. Jason just mingled with the nerds, he is kind of a celebrity with the computer geeks since he will be working at "the mothership" (Apple) when he graduates this spring. Then on Saturday Jason went and shot a bunch of guns with friends, while I studied for my last midterm. That evening we met up with Jenny and Jeff and went to Salt Lake where we ate at The Pie, a popular pizza place. After dinner we attended "Thriller" at the University of Utah. It is a dance performance put on by the Odyssey Dance Theater group. It was very entertaining. They had the performers wandering around before the show looking really creepy and scaring people. They especially liked me, I think it is because I get scared really easily, we would be in a group of people and they would walk straight up to me, I almost had a heart attack at least 10 times. Sunday we ate dinner over at Jenny and Jeff's, I must say, it has been nice having them feed us lately!!

Tagged--Facts/Habits/Embarrassing Moments

The rules: Each player lists 6 facts/habits/embarrassing moments about themselves. At the end of the post, the player then tags 6 people. Kalee tagged me so here I go.

First Fact/Habit/Embarrassment: I once saw a razzleberry pie and said to the person with the pie "Hmmm, I've never seen razzleberries in the store before, where do you find them." When my brain finally started working, I was so embarrassed.

Second Fact/Habit/Embarrassment: I hate hot water on my face. In order to wash my face in the shower I have to change the temperature to at least luke warm before I put my face under it. Jason CANNOT understand this.

Third Fact/Habit/Embarrassment: This one is about Jason. He has a thing for cold feet. He will come over and check my feet, if they are warm, he walks away disappointed.

Fourth Fact/Habit/Embarrassment: Another one about Jason. He has secret hopes to someday own a bakery, he loves bakeries. He loves fresh baked bread, in fact I think he is the only one who has ever used our bread maker. I know it sounds a little gay, but I think its cute.

Fifth Fact/Habit/Embarrassment: I eat ice cream EVERY single night. I love it. Mocha Almond is my favorite, but I'm pretty indiscriminate, as long as chocolate is somewhere in the mix of flavors. No wonder I can't get rid of those few pesky pounds!!!

Sixth Fact/Habit/Embarrassment: Jason and I go to bed together pretty much every night. This may not seem that weird but after talking with other married people I found it is. Sometimes I'm ready to go to bed before Jason, so he will come in and lay with me (sometimes until I fall asleep) and then get up and work on his project or whatever. Oh and I should mention this is at his insistence not mine, I tell him not to worry about it, but he insists.

I tag: Des, Ashley, Taryn, Renee, Kim, and Kelly

I love Kelly Grace

Kelly helped a little with the title :)  Anyway, one of mine and Jason's best friends Kelly came to visit from Colorado this weekend.  We had a great time with her and hope she comes back soon, and brings her hubby and daughter.  On Thursday night we went over to the Reynolds to watch the office.  It was so fun to see them and their cute kids and beautiful new house.  We appreciate them letting us come over, and Becky was even nice enough to make Jason's favorite cake!  Friday night we went to the Aussie Pink Floyd concert again, this might sound familiar since we went last year as well.  We are big fans.  They sound JUST like Pink Floyd, which is cool cause all Jason's favorite bands are either dead or don't tour anymore so this is really fun for him.  Kelly and I enjoyed the show as well but I think we might have enjoyed the crazy people around us a little more.  Saturday Kelly and I did some shopping and went to lunch with some friends while Jason worked on the car.  Lunch was so fun.  For those who couldn't make it we missed you.  Because it was snowing so bad in CO Kelly couldn't leave on Sunday as planned, so we got to hang out longer.  We played phase 10 (which I technically won), watched Benny and Joon (cute older movie) and went to dinner at Jenny and Jeff's.  It was such a fun weekend Kel, come back anytime, I miss you!!!!

Laid Back Weekend

Utah Valley University (aka: UVSC) has a culinary arts program, so each week they showcase a specific type of food and you can go to their restaurant called "Greg's Kitchen" and enjoy a five course meal. On Friday night Jason and I went with our friends Jeff and Shelley and enjoyed some delicious French food. It was really fun for me because I recognized most of the fancy ingredients from food network and we love trying different foods. It was really good and we look forward to returning to try other types of food. On Saturday we spent the day with Jenny and Jeff. We got massages, ate, watched some conference and ate some more. It was a really laid back and relaxing day. We also got to play with Jeff's brother's chameleon named Ben. I usually don't like reptiles but this one was so cute and fun. I loved it! If my kids want an animal, they can have one of these.

Jason's Idea of Fun

Jason is such a busy body. I know its true but I really realized it during the last couple of days. I was sick last weekend and jumping right back into school this week didn't help the recovery process. So Friday I didn't have school, I spent the day "resting" (basically just laying around all day). While I was doing that, Jason worked in the morning, biked 20 something miles, changed the oil on our car, took a bizillion pictures of the car for our soon to be updated website (stay tuned for that announcement), and he managed to take his wife on a nice date that evening (I had rested long enough by that point). I'm glad Jason is the way he is, of course sometimes I wish he could just sit still and have a conversation with me without multitasking but I love him and I appreciate so much everything he does for us. Below is his idea of "fun".




In other news, Jason has officially accepted the offer from Apple (see pic below). He begins June 23, 2008, five days after I finish school (that will be a fun week). We are both really excited for this, although it complicates my life a little because now I have to take the California boards, oh what is two extra tests, I will already be taking like five to get my license. Saturday Jason biked 47 miles with the Utah Velo Club (Velo is bike in French). He loves his bike, he woke up at 6:45 to go on the ride and while it started out nice it was windy and rainy by the end. Which brings me to the other big news, it snowed yesterday for the first time. We went up to Park City to enjoy the beautiful drive through the canyon and the outlets up there. Utah is beautiful this time of year, I will try to get some pictures up for those who have moved and miss the pretty colors of the canyon. Anyway, it snowed really hard in Park City and as we made our way back it lightened up a little but was still snowing a bit in Provo. Those are the Miller happenings of the week, hopefully we will have more exciting things to post about soon.

Introducing Mr and Mrs Lee

Today was a very exciting day for the Miller family. Jason's sister Jenny married the guy that we set her up with over a year ago. They had a breakfast this morning, and were then wed this afternoon at the Mount Timpanogas Temple. It was a great day. Jen looked gorgeous and Jeff looked very handsome. We are so happy for them. It was also nice to see a lot of Jason's family we haven't seen in a while, and we got to meet a lot of Jeff's family for the first time. The happy couple will be honeymooning in Mexico for a week...I want to get married again!!!!

Bike Fever

Jason LOVES his new bike. He tries to ride it at least a few times a week, and rides an average of 30 miles per ride. He has been trying to convince me that it could be my new hobby as well, so we borrowed his sisters road bike and went on a short 7 mile ride (after he rode 40 miles earlier in the day with Jared). I liked it, it was fun. I hit speeds up to 23 mph (Jason has gone over 44 mph). So we did that yesterday. Last night we went to the Scera theater and saw their production of High School Musical. It was really cute, I wish my little sister Letty could have gone with us. Other than that there is nothing new with either of us, we're just plugging away at school. Although I will say, we found out we are going to PA for thanksgiving (that is where my Mom's whole family lives) and we CANNOT wait. We are so excited to see the family!! Another exciting side note is that Jason's sister Jenny is getting married next weekend to the guy we set her up with, Jeff. We are really excited for them. I love weddings!!

P.S. You will notice that Jason has switched to spandex, something he swore wouldn't happen, I know many of you have been waiting to see the rock hard gluts of my man, well wait no longer!! Now he is just waiting for a Honey Stinger bike jersey from his Dad. Oh and you will see that I wore spandex too! They are padded and my little bum cannot handle those uncomfortable seats with no padding.

Back To School

Since we got back we have just been hanging out and readjusting to life. After an eventful summer it is nice to relax, although it doesn't provide many blogging opportunities. I did take a few pictures this weekend. On Saturday Jason and I took a picnic up to Bridal Veil Falls. The weather has been perfect, so it was nice to get out. We also have brushed off the motorcycle (it was out of order for a while) and have been taking it out, I will have to get some pictures. On Sunday since Jason's brother Mike was in town, all his siblings came over for dinner, lots of fun as always, Mike always adds a lot of energy to our home. We have both been completley thrown back into the swing of things at school, it hardly feels like we had a break. I start seeing patients again this week (so anyone in Provo who needs a free cleaning, give me a call), I love seeing patients but sometimes it is stressful trying to see specific patients from specific demographics. I think it will be hard for Jason this year having worked in the "real" world this summer. I think since he has a least one job offer, it is hard to take school too seriously. We are doing well though and enjoying being back together in Provo.
