Just because Oprah has billions, doesn't mean she has a monopoly on favorite things. She totally stole it from my girl Julie Andrews! What pipes! The Sound of Music is the best! Anyway, shopping kind of drives me crazy and almost all of the things listed were gifts, but these are things that once you have, you cannot live without!
1.) Flash drive: Landon got me one for Christmas; I told him I didn't need one, but now I use it DAILY. It's wonderful, and if I had my own show, and you were in the audience, I would give you one for free!
2.) Michael Buble CDs: The man is amazing. He has a song for every mood. I never liked the song "You Were Always On My Mind," because he lists all the junk he's pulled, and tries to apologize by saying, "But you were always on my mind!" LAME! But, his version is so sincere and beautiful; I would totally forgive him.
3.) Victoria's Secret bras: they are amazing, there is SUCH A DIFFERENCE! Try one, and you'll never go back. I love bras; I would totally take a closet full. Might I suggest the Very Sexy bra or Angels bra for your first time. Wow, heaven. I totally love how they name everything, too. And the fragrances: Love Spell, Pure Seduction, hilarious!
4.) Rice cookers: it cooks for you and then keeps it warm until you're ready to use it! Amazing!
5.) Gilmore Girls: I got seasons 4 and 7 for Christmas and have already finished them both. It's my absolute favorite indulgence. You can put an episode on when you're cleaning, doing laundry, scrapbooking, whatever! It's all right there!
6.) Under Armour: I want to BATHE in it. It's amazing! I've heard they make it in sock-form! It feels amazing on the skin, and I love it!
7.) Scrapbooks: I know everyone is going digital, and that's fine, but there is something about the cutting, pasting, finding the right picture, finding the right quote, and finding the right scraps that is SO FUN. I don't care if digital is easier, cooler, faster, or better-looking, I like it old school.
8.) My wedding ring: Landon picked it out for me, and it is my absolute most prized possession. I stare at it all the time and am so beyond emotionally attached.
9.) My wedding dress: We got married in February, and it was freezing, but I just couldn't put the coat on! The coat was beautiful too, but I wanted the pictures of my dress! My arms were turning slightly purple, but I'm so glad I did it! The dress was so different than what I had thought I wanted, but it was the first one I tried on, and I loved it. (I tried on other ones, too, but nothing compared.)
10.) Dishwashers: You don't know how much you love them until you don't have one. I remember my mom telling me that they didn't have one when she was growing up, and I was so confused as to how the dishes were cleaned! Now I know: Two hands. Some people dream of a home; I dream of a dishwasher!
11.) Boots: So cute, so warm, so essential, but mainly cute! I LOVE THEM!
Landon is playing on the ward intramural basketball team!
This is what they did when I told them to smile. It was after the game; they were tired! :) It cracks me up that there is such a big gap between them like they're afraid to touch or something!
