This Is A Funny Video

I got this forwarded to me in an e-mail from my friend at work. It is so funny. It's about 5 minutes long and funny the whole way through. And it's clean, so no worries. :)

Greatest Husband Tag

I was tagged in an e-mail and I thought I would post it for all to see how GREAT my husband is. :)

What is your husband full name? David Mosby Mize
How long have you been married? 1 Year and 8 Months this Saturday
Who eats more sweets? David, that's all he would eat if I let him. ;)
Who said I love you first? I said, "I am falling very much in like with you." To which he responded, "I think I love." A few days later we clarified that it was no longer a think and a like, but a definite LOVE. :)
How old is he? 24
Who is taller? David, when he stands up straight.
Who is smarter? David, however wiser would be me. Ha! Ha! Ha! Just kidding, we both have our academic strengths. :)
Who can sing better? Neither of us sing great, but I love it when David really trys.
Who does the laundry? Somewhat of a sensitive subject, so to save an argument... we both do.
Who pays the bills? I do. I have to know where we stand financially or I don't sleep at night.
Who sleeps on the right side of the bed? If you are looking at the bed from the foot of it, I sleep on the right side. We even marked our mattress with a J and D so we know who sleeps on what side when we move again. :)
Who mows the lawn? UHDS knows what a lawn mower is? We live in campus hosing (GHETTO) and they don't take care of ANYTHING. Oh well, only 3 1/2 more months. YAY!
Who cooks dinner? Mostly me, although David does pitch in once in awhile. But, usually me.
Who drives? Well, I take the car to work every day. But when we are together David drives. If I want to drive I have to RUN to the car, get in and lock the door. It's kind of fun.
Who is more stubborn? I am REALLY stubborn, but we are both equally stubborn in our rights.
Who kissed who first? We kissed at the same time.
Who asked who out? Alright, I asked David and his best friend to drive to Vegas with me for 4th of July to visit my brothers. So, I supposed I asked him out first.
Who has more siblings? David has 3, 2 older and 1 younger. I have 4, all older brothers, it's a wonder I survived.
Who wears the pants? David wears them usually, I'm more of a capri kind of girl. Ha Ha Ha, no really though, we both wear them. When we have kids, I will probably wear the mean pants, and he will wear the, give them what they want pants. But, who knows. We'll have to wait and see.

So, there it is. I have the greatest husband in the world because why you ask? He's mine and he loves me for ALL that I am and ALL that I do. He puts up with me no matter what, and for that he deserves the title of "THE GREATEST HUSBAND"!

I am now tagging Seana, Katie, Jen, Shauna, Abbie and whoever else reads this that has a husband. You have to post this on your blog in 1 minute or else... it won't be there! :) LOVE YOU ALL!

Dedicated to Seana

My Mom Told Me To

I was raised to always obey my mother. Now, I will be the first to tell you that I have not made it through life with a 100% in obedience, however, I would give myself a 90%.
I got an e-mail from my Mom today telling me that I needed to post something new on my blog so that she would have something to read while at work when she's bored. Funny Mom! :)
Anyway, so I thought I could update everyone on the happenings in the Mize home. Not much! Ha Ha Ha No really though. Life is good for us. I am trying to get over a nasty cold, but surviving nonetheless. I love my job and the people I work with are amazing. I enjoy going to work everyday. David is all registered for his LAST term of school. YAY! That is good news. He is going to have a hairy schedule next term. He only has class on Monday and Wednesday, but it's from 8:00 until 7:00 I think. So, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday will be filled with studying and work. It will be good though. He is excited for his classes. I don't know if he's more excited for the classes themselves, or the fact that it's his last term. Either way, it's going to be good. This current term ends on March 21st, then he has a week for Spring Break, and then March 31st starts the ending! YAY!
It is so interesting to think of what is to come. We don't know yet where we are going, but all we have ever known in our married life is Corvallis, OR with me working full time and David in school. It's so exciting to think of all of the things that are going to change and the adventures that will come with the changes. It's a little scary because I'm starting to feel like we have perfected this way of life that we have become accustomed to, with the whole living in a small town, in a ghetto apartment, broke college students, making the best of what we have. In the famous words of my brother Dave, "It can't get any worse than this." And I don't even think this is that bad. I hope no one takes this out of context, I have truly enjoyed my time here in Corvallis, but I know that there is so much more out there for David and I, and I can't wait to take on the adventure. Don't worry, I'll make sure to keep you all posted as life happens! :)

Bag Tag

The Rules...

1. Take a picture of your bag
2. Show a picture of ALL the contents in your bag... NO CLEANING OUT FIRST!!!!
3. "Bag Tag" five people

I was tagged through a text message by my friend Seana. So, here goes. It is AMAZING how much you can fit into a small purse. An amazingly cute Coach purse just to give it a plug (it's my favorite purse that I have ever had! :) )

Now, here is a picture of everything that I had in my purse. I was REALLY surprise that stuff just kept coming. :) This is a good way to clean out the purse.Okay, so here is what I've got. My wallet which I love ($6 at Ross, my Dad would be proud lol), y new sunglasses and case (prescription, and I love them), my calendar/book with my favorite purple pen, my clear hair clip from work the other day, check book register and another favorite pen, $40 coupon to Sears, Buy One Get On Free Blizzard coupon (a definite necessity hahaha), my car keys, lotion, a few receipts, a small to-do list, COBRA insurance form, eye glass cleaning cloth, 2 business cards (OB & Eye Dr.), empty plastic bag, hair cut/color coupons, and a variety of chapstick and lipstick.

So now you know the inner workings of my purse and life. I hope you enjoyed that. I am now going to throw all of the junk away. :)

My Little Taylor Renee

Sad story. My niece Taylor broke her thigh bone in two places. She accidentally fell and landed in a crawling position. But, the report from my brother is that she was a trooper and didn't even cry that bad. Here is a little picture of her with her "Princess Pink" soft cast. My poor little Taylor Renee, I think she needs her Aunt Jenni to give her loves. :)

Winter Career Fair

David had his second career fair today. After the last career fair we were somewhat apprehensive because it seemed so easy last time. David went and handed out quit a few of his resumes. He seemed very happy with everything. He met with a number of companies including Cintas (again), Target, HP & many others. When he told me about Target I automatically thought it was a great idea because hopefully we would get a GREAT discount! :) They all seemed like something that he was interested in. Hopefully we will hear something soon. We are not too worried because there is still another job fair on April 30th. So, please keep us in your prayers, we will keep you all posted!

Valentines Day and the Days That Followed

David and I had a great Valentines Day. We spent it at work and school mostly. I know... lame! But that night we went to dinner with our friend Jeff and his date Debbie, and Jeff's brother Wyatt and his date Hailey. Wyatt had just gotten home from his mission two days earlier so it was rather interesting to see it all. We went to a really good Sushi/Japanese restaurant. We ate WAY to much but it was really good! We had an enjoyable time. The funniest part was when the chef tried to get us to catch chicken in our mouths, he threw it to me and it landed right down my shirt. It was so funny. The poor chef was so embarrassed. I just laughed. Before we went to dinner David gave me my present. I got an Oregon State Baseball hat because I had mentioned the other night that I wanted one, and I got an Oregon State Baseball Nation Champs T-shirt because after tax season when I am retired I am going to be the number one OSU Baseball fan! :) It was really cute, he was super excited to give it to me. For his gift, I took it to his work the day before and asked one of the co-workers to set it up for me. I got him a cute monkey, a card, some Jeff Gordon chocolates and a balloon that said I Love You. He was totally surprised at work on Valentines Day. I was really excited. To end the night we cuddled up in bed and fell asleep to a movie. It was a great day.
The next day, Friday, David's Sister and brother-in-law brought her two boys down for David and I to watch. We offered to watch them for the weekend since it was their anniversary. So we had Riley (4) and Teddy (2) from Friday night at 6:30 until Sunday afternoon. It was an enjoyable weekend. Saturday morning we got up and went for a walk to a big train that Riley was dying to see. It was a decent walk, but the boys did so well in the stroller. They loved climbing on the train and everything. All-in-all it was a good weekend with the nephews. It did make me realize a couple things though. (1) There is a reason that when you have kids you start with one at a time (if you're lucky) and they are small and immobile so you can grow with them. (2) I still want three kids, I just want them 12 to 18 years apart now. :) I have to admit, my favorite part of the weekend was Sunday morning when we were all laying in the bed together after the boys woke up and we were all playing and laughing. That one part made it ALL worth it! That and seeing David interact with the boys. He is going to make such a good Dad when the time comes. :)

One Of My Cutest Nieces!

My parents sent me these pictures of my niece and I just think they are the cutest, so I wanted to share them with everyone. This is Cali Lynn, she is 18 months old, and the youngest of Bryan and Monica's. I love her to death, she is quit the fire cracker. Her grandpa (my Dad) took these pictures the other night when he was at Bryan and Monica's home. She is definitely Bryan's little girl! :) Enjoy!

Sustaining New Authorities & Teaching Relief Society

Yesterday was Ward Conference in our ward. We didn't realize it until we got to church. However, once we did realize it, we were really excited to have the opporunity to sustain the new first presidency. It was so different to hear the person conducting say, "President Thomas S. Monson as President, with Henry B. Eyring as first counselor, and Dieter F. Uchtdorf as second counselor." And then we were able to raise our right hand and sustain them. It was so awesome. We didn't make it to the leadership meeting on Saturday (don't worry, my Dad gave me hard time for missing it enough). I was really bummed though because we missed President Monson's first talk as the Prophet. I am anxiously awaiting for it to be up on the web site so I can listen to it. I have always been fond of President Monson, ever since I was in Primary. It seems as though when I was in Primary he always spoke to me (and the other primary age children :)), and then when I was a youth/young adult he focused on that age group, and now that I am married and in my life he speaks to me still. I love listening to him speak and the wonderful things he always says. I will miss President Hinckley a lot, however I know that President Monson is capable of filling the shoes.

I was asked on Thursday to teach Relief Society at church yesterday. The lesson was from the Joseph Smith manual, it was #2 entitled "God Our Eternal Father". I was having the most difficult time planning the lesson for some reason. I kept trying to think of other things that I can add to what the manaul has to say but nothing seemed appropriate. So, I happened to talk to my Dad Saturday night and he told me that President Blazer, from his Stake Presidency, was at a leadership meeting in Utah and one of the speakers said that the "Teachings of the Prophets: Joseph Smith" book is the most true book of Joseph Smith ever written. I found that so interesting and I wanted to share it in my lesson the next day, but I didn't want to make a sort of hearsay type thing. So, I found the following on www.lds.org and since I shared it with everyone in class, I thought that you all might enjoy it as well.

Elder Jay E. Jensen Executive Director of the Curriculum Department and member of the Seventy said, “Joseph Smith taught hundreds of inspiring sermons while he was the Prophet and President of the Church. Unfortunately, only about 50 were written down. For the past several years, many people, including professionals and volunteers, have diligently searched historical records to compile and review the statements that have been attributed to the Prophet. His teachings were carefully studied, authenticated, and compiled. The compilation was then approved by the First Presidency and Quorum of the Twelve Apostles.

Each statement in Teachings of Presidents of the Church: Joseph Smith was thoroughly researched for accuracy. Extensive and painstaking effort was expended to check original sources. This effort was necessary because the way in which sermons were recorded in the Prophet’s day differed significantly from the way sermons of later Presidents of the Church were recorded. As explained in the new book: “During the lifetime of Joseph Smith, … shorthand was not in widespread use. Therefore, the sermons he delivered were recorded imprecisely in longhand, generally by scribes, Church leaders, and other Church members. Almost all of Joseph Smith’s addresses were given extemporaneously, without prepared texts, so the notes taken by those who listened to him constitute the only record of the discourses.”

This new book contains inspiring statements from Joseph Smith on more than 125 gospel topics.”

Life... as we know it!

Life is an interesting thing. 2 months ago I was at a job that I tolerated and refused to leave because it paid well and I had only 5 months left to work until David graduated. One day all of the changes as was previously told. Of course I automatically think that life is going to be over. I am paranoid and freaked out wondering how we are going to survive. So, I hit the floor running to find a job and find the perfect job. Now here is where it happens for me...
I am at a job that pays a LOT less than I was making before, however I love what I am doing and the people that I work with. I am busy doing things I enjoy, and having a good time while doing it. I know that I will not be making nearly as much as I was, but when I come home at night I don't want to massacre anything that crosses my path. I am so much happier and everything. What a humbling experience is has been for me. It's amazing to have something hit so hard for me to realize that it's not all about the money. I would rather do something that I like any day for less money, than doing something I hate for more money, hands down.

Video Tributes to President Hinckley

I have gotten a number of e-mails with tributes to President Hinckley, so I thought I would share them with all of you. The first one is my favorite. I hope you enjoy them. :)




This is the one that was shown during the closing song of his funeral.

My Week

Ah, this has been a great week. I got a taste of what it would be like to be a stay at home wife and I LOVE IT! I loved being able to get my cleaning done, do all the dishes, get the laundry done and everything before David got home from school. Then we actually had the evening time to just spend time together. Everyday I was busy between Dr.'s appointments, cleaning, working out and just staying busy. It makes me that much more excited for April 16th when tax season is over and I am a stay at home wife until David graduates. It will be GLORIOUS! Now, I know that I won't ALWAYS have cleaning and whatnot to do because we only live in a small apartment so I have made plans. I am going to become the #1 OSU Home Game Baseball fan. Our Home Teacher plays on the OSU Baseball Team, so he said he will hook me up with good player tickets. So it should be fun!
Last night I got all Betty Crocker and I made Alfredo Sauce from scratch at home. It turned out SO good. I was proud of myself. David even liked it, which is a feat in and of itself. I mixed some grilled chicken in with it and some fresh tomatoes. It was so yummy. David and I even sat and ate it at the dinner table which NEVER happens. It was nice. I could get used to being able to do that every day. In time, my day will come!
I started my new job at the tax office today. It's not so busy today, but I am told that it will get really busy. I anxiously await for the craziness to start, that makes the day go by faster. But, as a service to everyone who reads this, below is how much time you have left to file your taxes! :)
