100.

This just so happens to be my 100th post... to me, it seems like 100 should have been forever ago, but then I realize that I actually only think about things to post about, and these thoughts hardly ever get translated into words, hence my, um... two week absence? Here are some things that I've been meaning to post about...

Spring Break! WooHoo!

• Spring Break was fantastic. We didn't do anything extravagant, but it was amazing to be able to spend a whole week with each other.
• On the first day of spring break, we went to the outlets in Park City! I got an awesome new pair of running shorts, and a pair of yoga pants! I'm a happy girl.
• After I was all shopped-out, we went to the Park City Pizza Co., a delicious little pizza place that we went on our honeymoon. It was as delicious as we remembered.
• Tyler went snowboarding on Tuesday of spring break, I got a pedicure.
• We went to two track meets during the week to watch Tyler's brother, Parker, dominate the competition.
• We said goodnight to our nephew, Payton, and my sister told him to say goodnight to the "Landgrens," so, he did, but it came out as... "Goodnight Green Lanterns." Too funny.
• We watched A LOT of family movies from when Tyler was a little kid. Now I have even more things to make fun of him for. In a playful, loving way of course.
• We drove... a lot. We would do almost anything for family.

 Other things I've been meaning to tell you about...

• I ran in a 5k last Saturday. I'm determined to be one of those people that completely loves running [I don't think that will ever happen]. I finished in about 32 minutes, and I'm okay with that. It was my longest run so far this year, and I haven't been running much (I'll regret this when I get even closer to my half marathon in June), so, I felt pretty good about it. I would've done better if I didn't have hills to run up.
•  I know I've mentioned this before, BUT, I'm graduating in only SIX short weeks. If anybody knows of any public relations - related jobs, let me know. It will be the happiest Cinco de Mayo I have ever had.
• I've been making more of the Pinterest recipes that I have pinned. I've been meaning to share them all with you, but, I'm just forgetful.

I'm sure there are A LOT of things that I have already forgotten, but, this is a blog, and I have the ability to post from virtually anywhere (via my phone, or from a computer). So, if I think of something SUPER important, I will be sure to post.

We are looking forward to General Conference this weekend! We just need to get through the school week first...

Happy Monday, everybody!!

P.S. Did you know that if you push ctrl + P it automatically posts? I didn't know that. So, there's a cool little fact for you today.

Tyler just really knows how to push my buttons...

I love my husband waaaay more than he loves me (haha Tyler, it's on the internet! It must be official), but sometimes he just really pushes my buttons. You would never know it because I'm laughing so hard at the time, and sometimes I actually do enjoy having my buttons pushed (just a little bit though).

One time that I didn't enjoy it though was when Tyler hid my our Valentine chocolate from my mom, and I just really really wanted some of it. For some reason, I actually started crying. I wasn't in the mood to look for it dang it, I just wanted to eat it. He thought he was hilarious.

Sometimes though, I just laugh and laugh and laugh, and it makes me love Tyler even more than I ever thought possible.

P.S. Sorry I'm crappy at taking pictures. I just kind of always forget... so here's a random one from a Sunday nap we took a while ago. Tyler and Tucker both slept... I just pretended.

Sometimes I feel really stupid...

There are a lot of moments in my life when something will happen, and I just think "I'm an idiot..." Here are a few examples of this:

This morning, I was reading my Twitter while I was still in bed. I went to roll over and I completely dropped my phone on my face.#ImAnIdiot #MorningFail

A couple of weeks ago, I got home from class, only to realize I had forgotten my keys. Sitting on my doorstep with my hood up and my gloves on reading my Kindle really made me look awesome that day. P.S. I was sitting out there for over an hour...

There are other times in my life when I know that Tyler is thinking I'm an idiot. Mostly when the M&M's "Sexy and I Know It" commercial comes on, and I start laughing and dancing. Also when the ASPCA commercials come on. You know, the really sad one with the really sad dogs and cats? Well, if I watch those, it is guaranteed that I will start crying. There are other times too though, like when I walk into the wall, or when I go to look out the window and hit my head on the glass, or when I almost fall out of bed while I'm WIDE AWAKE... yeah, the list goes on for a while.

So why did I post about this? I don't know. Because feeling like an idiot sure makes life funny? That sounds about right. I may have stupid quirks (just ask Tyler) but they make me laugh.

What makes you feel like an idiot?

Anytime I do something stupid around Tyler, somehow this scene from The Grinch always makes it into conversation. Maybe that's because I have just been thinking in movie scenes lately. Do you ever do that?

Super Bowl Sunday?

Okay, I know Super Bowl Sunday was a couple of weeks ago, but I've been thinking about this commercial ever since then. I've been so excited to post it on here, and I really have no idea why. Maybe because I want you to know just how weird I actually am...

Every time this commercial comes on the TV I always smile and look at Tyler, and then after the commercial (while I'm still laughing) I say "See, it's funny!" I don't mean to say it every time, it just comes out. Then I realize that I said it again, and feel really stupid... Here you go!

See, it IS funny! Just please don't ask me do the dance moves from the video, I already to them waaay too often..

Let's just say I'm really bad at this whole blogging thing...

I know, I know... in my post last week I said that I would blog "tomorrow" about my Valentine's Day, and, well, I didn't. Anyway, I'm just going to get to the point and tell you all about our super low-key Valentine's Day. Really though, it was SUPER low-key.

On Valentine's Day, we woke up and went to work and school (yippee)! Tyler was lucky enough to work until 6:00 pm, so I was just hanging out at home by myself for a few hours. Don't worry though, I stayed plenty busy...you see, Tyler and I decided to just eat dinner at home so that we wouldn't have to fight all of the Valentine's crowds, and let me tell you, it was an excellent decision! So, you're wondering what we had for dinner? Why I had to hang out at Walmart so Tyler could go home and get his wallet? Yeah, we had some Crock Pot Chicken Cordon Bleu, and if I would've been thinking properly, I would've taken some pictures, but alas, I did not. Just know that it was delicious and super easy!

Then, I made some Red Velvet Crinkle Cookies once the chicken was in the crock pot...AND they were delicious and super easy. I would definitely recommend them.

Once we had finished our Valentine's dinner, we decided to go to Walmart to see if there were any other presents that we wanted to get for each other. Wally World always seems to pull through for us, and we got another movie! Just the fabulous The Emperor's New Groove! A movie that I have wanted for a long time now was finally on the cheap rack! Score!

Even though we didn't do anything out-of-the-ordinary to celebrate the special day of love, it was still great to spend time with Tyler and just remember why I love him so much, and to try and do special little things for him throughout the day to show him.

Happy Valentine's Day!

I just wanted to tell a quick story. It doesn't really have anything to do with Valentine's Day (that will be tomorrow's post...) but, it is a funny story, and it happened because of our Valentine's preparations. So... here we go.

Last night, Tyler and I went to the store. Walmart, to be more specific. You see, we were in desperate need of some groceries, as we hadn't been grocery shopping in at least two weeks. That's just how life goes in the Landgren house... We wait as long as possible to spend our own money. Anyway, back to the story. We had just finished our shopping, and we got up to the cash register, and Tyler went to pull his wallet out, and oops, it was at home. Crap. The cashier was a really nice lady though, and let us put our groceries back into our cart so that Tyler could run home and grab his wallet. We probably would've just left and gone back today to shop, except today is Valentine's day, and we needed those groceries for today's dinner. We also managed to find the last $10 Sherlock Holmes DVD, which is our super romantic present, AND I also managed to find the last red velvet cake mix. It is for cookies though, not cake. I promise I'll take picture of everything...if you even care. Oh yeah, so Tyler left to come home, and I felt like a real idiot, just hanging out in Wally World. I sure hope I didn't end up on peopleofwalmart.com today... I better go check... okay good, I'm not there. But, I was just hanging out for a good 20 minutes. Yep, my life rocks. BUT, Tyler made it back and we were able to get our groceries.

...and they lived happily ever after,

The End!

P.S. Sorry for the super awkward long paragraph, I just don't know how to separate it into smaller paragraphs without having to rewrite half of it... Now you know what my thoughts sound like. Enjoy!

Happy Valentine's Day!

Some of the things on my mind...

The past couple of days have been infinitely better than Monday. Seriously though. Here's why...

• I have figured out how to get my ice to blend up nicely in my Magic Bullet
• I remembered to turn down the heat on my toaster so my bread won't burn
• Speaking of... when you turn the little knob to a lower number, are you turning down the heat, or the cooking time? I'm curious.
• I haven't missed a bus that I wanted to be on since Monday... that is really a miracle in and of itself.

Despite Tyler having a really busy week and being at the library studying most of the time (he has already taken two tests this week, and has two tomorrow), I have managed to stay positive.

Oh yeah, some other things I wanted to tell you...I've been making an effort to actually make some of the recipes that I pin on Pinterest, and this is what we had for dinner last night:

picture and recipe from here

They were super easy, and I really liked them, and Tyler liked them. All I had to do was put 3 ingredients in a crock-pot, and then shred the chicken 4 1/2 hours later. The shredding was super easy though, so that wasn't even hard. I would definitely recommend them.

Really though, I've been staying pretty busy this week and it hasn't all been bad. I went to a "Power Sculpt" class on Tuesday, and it was hard, but awesome. I've been doing some interviews with people across the country for some press releases, so that's been cool too. I'm just ready for tomorrow to be over to have my husband back. I like him... a lot.

Happy Thursday everybody!
