COOKIE LUST

The definition, which I'm sure you are all wondering, of cookie lust is: The lusting after of cookies. My male co-worker and I have come up with an analogy, or idea, to help women better understand men. This should be a universal idea, since practically everyone loves and can understand cookies. I haven't looked to see if cookie lust is in wikepedia, but I'm pretty sure it is not since it is a revolutionary idea. I shall explain further.You see, cookies are divine, aahhh mmmm (I can just picture the warm cookie being ripped in two, slowly, as the chocolate chips are melting and practically dripping off the cookie on those Pillsbury commercials) The warm chocolate morsels, the warm soft cookie, and the smooth ice cold milk that washes it down! My favorite cookies are chocolate chip, and most of them I taste are just sensational! There are a few cookies you taste and think, "WHAT! THIS IS A DISGRACE TO DEFINITION OF COOKIE!" after immediately spitting it out. But whenever I think of a cookie, (a good warm, soft one) I just have to have one! In fact, I want one right now! Whenever I think about a delectable cookie, Its usually all I can do not to drop whatever I'm doing, and get one! One could just go as far as to say that I have cookie lust! I mean think about it...good cookies always brighten a day, make your owies better, and are a delightful treat for anyone who partake. The world would be a darker place without the presence of good cookies.Well, although these feelings are hitting a little closer to home than you might want them to, the main point here is: how women feel about cookies, is how men feel about women! Men experience COOKIE LUST! Good women are divine, delectable, and the world would be a darker place without good women, and whenever men think about good women, they just want one! HA! And sometimes they come across a woman that looks divine, and find out that she is a disgrace to the meaning of women! But good Women always brighten a day, make your owies better, and are a delightful treat to anyone who comes in contact with them. Fortunately, the men I know have a lot more restraint with women than I do with Cookies! But it sure helps me understand them a LOT better, because now I know how hard it must be to practice restraint when coming across a good woman. pure brilliance! Well ladies, I'm hoping that this analogy helps you understand your man a bit better. And next time you sit down to enjoy a delectable darn good looking cookie, just remember to tell your man you love him, and appreciate all he does for you!

A Fillmore Christmas....

Our Christmas was wonderful, but hectic. We didn't spend two nights a row in the same place. Our schedule was Salt Lake, Provo, Ephraim, Provo, Ephraim, Provo. Christmas with both families, parties with friends, our Christmas was crazy. My sister Kristen went through the Manti temple on the 27th which was a really great experience. Another highlight was when my brother Brian who is serving a mission in Ireland, called on Christmas day. He is getting a little bit of an accent!

We got lots of great things for Christmas, if I had to narrow it down to my top three...it would be... A great piece of Art work that Spencer got me, it is a picture of the Salt Lake Temple where we were married, absolutely beautiful! Next, my mom has been saving scraps of old jeans for 25 years to make a picnic blanket. She sewed some cute backing on it, and gave to to me for Christmas! What a great gift! Lastly, and some may not agree here, but Spencer bought me a Fireproof, waterproof, natural disaster proof safe! I love it! I have been worried lately where to keep our pictures and important documents, and he put my worries to rest!


Christmas at the Adams house (sorry, we forgot the camera and had to take it with the phone)
My nephews Robert and Isaac helped me make this beautiful Ginger Bread house!

On the 23rd we went up to Salt Lake with our friends Jethro and Robyn, we went to dinner at Buca de Bepo and then went to Temple Square to see the lights. We spent the night at the Red Lion Hotel, where we played Settlers of Catan and Robyn won, big surprise there (note the sarcasm). On a side note, I just want to say that Robyn can miss out on like 10 rounds of a game, bathe Lincoln, make cookies, come back and still manage to win the game! It's astounding!



Here we are at dinner...

Boy, that night was cold!

The lights at Temple Square were beautiful!


Spencer and I, Jethro and Robyn

Here is Robyn, succesfully winning another game!

New Years Eve was so fun and must like past years. We went to a party at the Fillmore's house, ate way too much food, played tons of games, and I fell asleep on the couch by about 11 o'clock. Happy New Year Spencer! You'll get your New Years kiss next year!

HAWAII 2008

As promised, I have finally sat down to the computer to post some of our Hawaii pics! We had an awesome time! We went snorkeling, surfing, hiking, we had a beach fire and roasted marshmallows, we got Matsumoto's Shaved Ice, we went to Pearl Harbor, shopping, a a big family Thanksgiving dinner and lots more! It was a wonderful 10 days! We were able to go back to the spot where Spencer proposed, which was fun! I can't wait to go back again next year....

Hawaii, last time, and this time, almost...

Last time we went to Hawaii, something very exciting happened... Spencer and I got engaged. In honor of our upcoming Hawaii trip I would like to tell the story....

On June 16, 2007, we left for Hawaii. We got there on a Sunday night and just visited family a little while before we went to bed. Hawaii was so much fun! We went to Pearl Harbor, Hanauma Bay and went snorkeling, Polynesian Cultural Center, the Hawaii Temple, Dole Pineapple Plantation, Swap meet, and the beach several times. We also went snorkeling at a place called sharks cove. JR (Spencer's brother) took me surfing on North Shore. We went to a place called the blow hole, which was cool, we tried to go hiking but the trail was closed by the time we got there. JR just let us use his car, so it was just Spencer and I most of the time.

Monday, the day after we got there, was the day Spencer proposed. I thought for sure that it would be toward the end of the week, because I thought that the ring was not done yet and that his mom was going to Fed Ex it to us sometime that week. Boy was I wrong. Before we left, his mother gave us some stuff to give to JR. One of the packages contained the ring, that I carried the whole time!! That Spencer is soo tricky! Anyway, Monday night after we had gone exploring and seeing all there is to see, Spencer asked JR where a beach was that we could go to, and we went. I didn’t think anything of it, but it sure was a beautiful night. The sun was just setting, I took so many pictures and even a video. Spencer kept asking me if I wanted to walk here or there and I didn’t understand why. Eventually everyone around kind of cleared out and we walked over to this place made of rocks that jetted out into the water. We talked for a minute and then he hugged me and said some sweet things, then he asked me if I would marry him and pulled out the little box and opened it up and showed me a beautiful ring. ( He didn’t kneel, cause I had told him before that I didn’t want him to, I’d rather be face to face.) I was so surprised that he had the ring and everything just took me by surprise and I said “shut up!” I reached for the ring and he said “ you can’t have it till you say yes”. (This is really making me laugh, reminiscing like this).. So I said yes and we put it on. We stayed out on the beach a while longer and just soaked it in, and then we headed back to JR and Valerie’s house. As soon as we got there Valerie and JR were waiting just inside the front door and asked to see my hand. They were excited and congratulated us! It was one of the best vacations I’ve ever had!

This is the night we got engaged!

Well, we are now going back to Hawaii, a year and a half later...I am so excited because we will get to go back to the spot where I made the best decision I have ever made, to marry Spencer!

See you in December!
