This one is for Chris...

I've received a demand to update the blog! Sorry, apparently our blog is here to entertain Chris while he takes "breaks" from his work day :)

So the funniest revelation I've had about Brad since we got married is that he talks in his sleep. He must be more stressed out than normal because not only does he talk in his sleep but he is both "physically" and "verbally" abusive while doing it.

Case #1. About two weeks ago Brad fell asleep before me while I was up reading. About an hour after he fell asleep he leaned up on his elbow with this huge grin on his face and said really loud "You are ready to be born!". So I started laughing and then he started talking gibberish; the only thing I could really make out is that he was talking about money and our finances. Then he got really mad that I was laughing at him so he said "If you don't stop laughing I'm going to kick you in your face", which only made me laugh more. With that he pulled his leg back to wind up and kneed me in my back! He swears to not remember anything.

Case #2. Two nights ago I was up late reading and at one point Brad quickly sat straight up and starting saying "Where are the trumpets?" and proceeded to lift up the covers and crawl around the bed. Of course I am now familiar with his late night shenanigans so I started laughing. I told him to go back to sleep and he said "No wait, let me explain. You have money going in and money going out". This only made me laugh more at which point he said "Never mind, you are so annoying!". He was really mad at me and then turned his back on me. I told him that calling my "annoying" hurt my feelings and he said "I don't care". At that point I actually did get mad because I thought for a second: What if this is subconsciously what he really thinks about me? So I fell asleep and demanded an apology in the morning, he kind of remembers trying to talk to me about money but not much else. Oh, and he did apologize even though we both thought it was really funny.

What I've learned: don't laugh when Brad is talking in his sleep and Brad needs to stop reading all those financial books and start being nicer to his wife. Just kidding, love you!

swoosh, swoosh...

So after a few days of wonderful sping-like weather here in Utah I am currently looking out my office window at a blizzard. Greeaaatt. So that reminded me that I need to post pictures from our ski trip. Brad and I felt foolish for not taking advantage of the world class skiing that is literally 45 minutes from our apartment, so our big goal for this winter was to hit the slops! Our ski bunny friend Ellie took us to Brighton because it's the "easiest" of the resorts around here. I'm glad we had her expertise and I only had one big fall. After surviving the big day I can honestly say that I'm sad we didn't go more often. Plug Alert: Thanks to Outdoors Unlimited at BYU for the amazingly inexpensive gear rental.

I've been tagged by Kristin!

My friend Kristin tagged me to complete this questionaire, so everyone gets to learn a little bit more about Bridget, happy tuesday!

1) Where I was ten years ago:

* I was a sophomore at Clark High School. I was in Choir, on the varsity swim team and fighting for the affection of Tyler Moselle. Ha ha. Probably my least favorite year of my life thus far. I had just moved to Plano, Texas from Okinawa, Japan and I was a little shell shocked about making new friends and getting used to life in the States again. But it was also the year I met Kristin and Ashley so I guess “least favorite year” is a little strong :)

2) 5 things on my “To Do” list today:

* Finish Reading The Other Boleyn Girl (I’m a little ashamed to admit I read this, it’s a bit racy!) and start reading Little Women for my book club.
* Clean the bathrooms (At home, not work. Yeah, luckily I don’t work at Einstein’s anymore!)
* Go to the gym
* Make Taco Soup for dinner
* Watch American Idol

3) Things I would do if I became a billionaire:

* I would quit work and travel immediately before Brad and I have kids. I would study photography and get all the best cameras. I would hire Giada and Bobby Flay as my personal chefs so I could spend my time reading good books and exercising. I would have a house that includes an indoor and an outdoor pool, a mystic tan, a personal theater with every movie available, and a walk-in fridge filled only with Blue Bell ice cream. I would have that sweet closet in Clueless that matches up your clothes for you (except it would be filled with Ann Taylor and Anthropologie clothes). I would have a house in Paris, a sweet cabin in the mountains (probably Utah), and a home on the beach somewhere (next door to Kristin’s Balboa house). I would go to New York at least once a year to catch up on all the Broadway Musicals. I would go the Tony’s, the Golden Globes, and the Oscars every year. I would have life time tickets to the NBA finals, Superbowl and World Series… Somewhere along the way I’d pull an Angelina and give some money to the poor. From this it sounds like I’d be Saul from Ocean’s 11, “I want the last check I write to bounce”

4) Three of my bad habits:

* I unintentionally say mean things to people
* I speed big time on my way to work
* I never ever check my voicemail (On my cell phone or at work, for some reason I hate it! Luckily it seems important people I deal with at work always email)

5) Five Places I have lived :

* Newport, Rhode Island
* Madrid, Spain
* Indianapolis, Indiana
* Okinawa, Japan
* Monterey, California

6) Jobs I have had:

* Einstein’s Bagels food artist
* Swim teacher of 2-12 year olds
* Nordstrom sales associate
* Marriott center ticket sales associate
* Do whatever I want employee of InstallPro Inc.

7) Something Most People Don’t Know About Me:

* I love watching Poker on TV, especially the Main Event.
* I love the song Buffalo Soldier by Bob Marley (As Kristin and I would say in jest: "Reggae and slavery, mmmm those are the best").
* I’m a little OCD because it is almost impossible for me to fall asleep with my closet door open.


After re-reading this I just realized what I have just shared with the world wide web: I am materialistic, I read trashy novels, and I break the law everyday. I promise I'm not really a bad person!

I'm tagging Brad so his will come in the next post!
