IT'S ABOUT TIME!!!!

So it has been forever since I have written on my blog. A lot of that is because I have discovered facebook and all the people I can communicate with there. But I thought it might be nice to update this a little as well. I have just finished up another semester of school which will leave me with Autumn and Winter terms left and then I will have my Masters. I am definetly looking forward to that. In December Chris and I will be venturing to Hawaii where we will be visiting friends. Since Chris is turning 30 this year he wanted to go on a trip somewhere so we decided it was time to visit Hawaii since it has been a couple years. Nothing else has really happened lately but I will try harder to write on this page a little more often....

I punched my husband!

So Chris and I were watching comedy central the other day.  There was a comedian who said that women have the ability to make their husbands think that they're retarded.  Thus getting them to agree with whatever or believe whatever they say. One of the jokes was that women probably lay awaking looking at their husbands at night while they are sleeping, gapping mouth and snoring and think to themselves “How did I end up here with that?”  He went on to say that the women could probably punch the husband at anytime, waking the husband up, and make him believe that it didn’t happen, you know because they are retarded.  I tell you that story to tell you this story.

So the last few nights, for whatever reason, I have not been sleeping.  Finally last night I fell asleep without any problems and was enjoying my deep slumber.  Typically I am a very sound sleeper and have never assaulted my husband while sleeping.  (The same cannot be said for him)   Anyway, apparently I had turned over facing him and stretched my arm out to either slide under my pillow or his, which is something I typically do.  However, he was closer to me then I knew and being 75% asleep still I ended up punching him, at this time I was unaware of where I had punched him.  I remember lying there for a second and thinking “did I really just punch him?” (A little giggle escaped my lips)  He didn’t say anything so I figured it wasn’t that bad.

The next morning I new something was wrong because he typically kisses me goodbye when he leaves for work.  Today he didn’t.  I text him asking if he was mad at me, he said, “YES”.  I asked him “Why” and he replied by saying, “Because you punched me in the face!”  Apparently he thought that what I did was intentional.  He thought that he had been snoring and I had, had it and punched him. Thanks to Mr. Comedian this has been in the back of his head not helping my case.  Because I had been so tired I was unaware of everything that had happened.  Apparently after I had punched him and giggled he had sat up and asked me if I had just punched him?  While giggling I had told him “No” then I started to pet his head and told him to go back to bed.  So with him wide a wake and knowing exactly what had happened but not knowing that it was not intentional he became very mad.  From 1am-7am he continued to get more and more irritated.

I explained to him that if that punch had been intentional it would not have happened while I was lying down.  I would have made sure to be standing squared up with him so that I would be able to put the weight of my body into it.  I also informed him that I would defiantly do it in a well-lit area so that I would be able to see the expression on his face.  Finally, I informed him that over 6 years I have been hit, kicked, elbowed (in the face) while sleeping thanks to him. Through all this time I have never been angry with him because I knew that it was unintentional.  This was the only time I have ever done this and he couldn’t handle it.  He finally realized that I was not lying about it, being unintentional, and apologized.

This is the end of my story.  Hope it brought you a little bit of happiness.

Christmas Letter

As 2008 passes and we look forward to 2009, mainly because it puts us closer to Disney World 2010, we reflect on the adventures of the passing year. 

We ventured to Disneyland in February where we also experienced Knotts and Universal studios.  Even though there were some husbands who felt that they could have done without Disneyland for a while they loved us enough to come.  However, if it came down to it we would have been just as happy to go without them. J

At the end of March I decided to further my education, mainly because I am a little nuts, but also because I am an educational miracle, as my mommy calls it.  It has been really time consuming and Chris feels a little neglected at times.  However, he has been pretty good at being patient and understanding, but he would appreciate it if I would not go for my PhD or at least wait a while before doing it.  With the way things are going I don’t know that he has to worry about that too much. My anticipated date of graduation is in March or April of 2010, just one more year.

During the summer Chris put together a couple of Polynesian shows for some friends.  This event put us back in touch with some old friends that he haven’t been able to get in touch with because…. well there is really no good reason. But we were able to get in touch with the Tongi’s.  They joined us for a few shows and we were able to catch each other up on our new additions, their little boy and our little puppy. 

In August we were able to take some time out for us, and head down to St. George.  It had been a few years since I had hiked for a few miles it was good to see that I could still do it will minimal aches the next day.  Also in August we purchased a home.  He has been enjoying having a home and a yard for the kids (dogs) to play in.  Chris has been working hard and enjoying fixing things up that need it.   We spent Thanksgiving with the Chris’ family, the Jensens and survived the family tradition of Black Friday.

Chris continues to work at American Lending as a loan officer.  Most of you might think that would be dwindling but the company he works feel is still going strong.  Due to some recent rate drops he has been busier and working longer to try and get people refinanced.  He has also taken up hunting this year.  From September to November it is hard to find him because he is usually scouting or hiking over mountain ranges in search of that perfect deer.  We had the opportunity to go hunting with Chris’ sister Carli and brother in-law Brian.  After experiencing their hunting I informed Chris if he hunted more like them I would be more likely to go with him.  Their theory is if you can’t get to it with a four-wheeler, truck or minimal hiking/walking don’t bother they will eventually come to you.  This theory seems to work because they usually always get something. 

I continue to work at Slate Canyon Youth Center and also continue to love my job.  There is never a dull moment and there is always some new event that is changing everyday with the residents.  There is also the ability to make fun of the residents who are from Carbon and Emery County.  They always think I am being mean until they find out that I, too, am from Carbon and it is always fun when they find that my husband is from Emery.     

No, we do not have any children…..Maybe one day. 

We hope you all had a wonderful 2008 and that you have a wonderful 2009. 

Coming Soon!

So after reviewing every bodies blog I have come to the conclusion that I may be a little behind....Okay, Okay like a month behind. Since we are not sending out any Christmas cards, because "We just did one last year", according to Chris, "there is not need to do one this year" and because I was lazy I just went along with it, I thought I should at least blog to let you know what is up and happening in the Lutu home. Thanks to those of you that sent us a christmas update Burks, Dimicks, Carlsons, Jennifer (and family). So by Tuesday, but planning on Monday, I am hoping to have a new post. Wish me luck... :)

TWILIGHT THE MOVIE!

If you are planning on seeing this movie I would strongly urge you not to continue….

Not the Edward of my dreams... Not the Bella of my thoughts... And not the movie of my book!

For those of you who have no intention, as I had, not to see the movie because you felt that it just wasn’t going to live up to the book, proceed.

I have never read a book that was eventually made into a movie. Usually if there is going to be a movie I just wait for that to come out because I see no purpose in reading at that point. However, with the Twilight Saga it was a little different. I got into these books because so many people around me had said what great books to read and I would like them. So, one day last year as Chris and I were celebrating our 5th wedding anniversary up in Park City we came across a bookstore and decided to venture in. I noticed Twilight was in paperback for like 5 dollars so I decided to get it. It took me about 2 weeks to actually pick it up and start reading it after buying it and when I did it was history from there. I, like many others, was sucked into the Bella-Edward love story. (Excellent books)

When I heard they were going to be making a movie I was skeptical from the beginning. Usually Hollywood has a way of ruining things like these. Since, like I said before, this was my first book that was made into a movie for me; I knew I was going to be more critical. I started to think; well if they get a good cast then this may stand a chance.

The cast was picked and I knew from that moment this movie was going to be a disaster. That is when I decided I was not going to go. For the last 6-8 months I told everyone I have no desire I will most likely not go because I fear it will ruin my books.

Then my sister called me up on Thursday to see if I would like to go to that movie. I told her no, and she said that is was going to be a girl thing because the boys were going to the movies that night to see 007. (Which I liked that movie) I had been telling family and friends that I was not going to see this movie because I knew it was going to be disappointing but everyone thought I was kidding and being way to cynical. So, like she has he ability to do, she eventually guilted me into going. So yesterday, Friday, November 21, 2008 my concerns about the movie became a reality.

The movie from the beginning had stupid written all over it. Bella, even though she could have made that part work because she was average, does not really know how to act or at least doesn’t do it well. Edward who is supposed to be tough seriously looked like he was about to cry 5 times in the movie, he should of played Bella. Bella I don’t think has the ability to cry on cue because she is such a mediocre actress, if you can call her that (actress). Because the movie jumped around so much you couldn’t tell a lot of the bonds these people were supposed to have. For example Edward and Alice they are supposed to have this close brother and sister relationship and you don’t get that from the way this movie was set up. Jasper was a JOKE!!! He looked like he was in a constant state of fright and surprise. He looked like he was trying to portray Edward Scissor hands. We wish it were Johnny Depp playing Jasper because then who would care, right, at least we would have someone to look at. Carlisle looked like he had way to much makeup on I don’t know if it was the white doctors coat or what but it wasn’t good. We got that Rosalie was a B**** she actually did alright but was in the movie more than the book.

What was the most irritating thing about this movie? They skipped and jumped around so much that it was ridiculous. Now, I know that they might have to cut some things out so that the movie would not be 10 hours long but when you cut things out it should not be the story line, which was what they ultimately did. Where was the part that Edward and Bella fall in love? It seemed like that just came out of nowhere there was no real climax to it either. It seemed as though Hollywood was trying to put more action into this movie then what there really was. They should have stuck to the original story line. Had “Bella” narrate more, like she does in the book, it might have been a lot better.

This movie was done way to fast and way too early. They should have taken time to think about it rather than just do. I think the entire cast would have benefitted had they read the books before playing the parts, because I don’t think they did.

One good thing did come from this movie, I realized I don’t have any ill feelings toward my books and actually feel like I need to read twilight AGAIN ( for the 4..5..6..7.. time I don’t remember I lost track) to put the universe back into perspective.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN

Chris decided that for this Halloween he was going to dress up as one of his bosses. His boss happens to be bald and white so we did the best we could. We shave his head leaving a little on the sides to get the "old man" effect. The he let me put my base on him. He thought he would need to get something else to be more white but I assured him that he was blessed with a pale wife therefore my makeup would be enough. Because this is the first and only time he will let me put makeup on him took advantage of it. So I thought today would be a good day to check in on my blog. Most of you would say, "It's about time." Sorry for the delays I have been extremely busy with school and work. I am not sure when I will be back on. I will try and keep you posted.
