day 4: meaning behind your blog name
I think it's pretty self explanatory; Jon & Bre Thorpe. Thats me and my hubby. Maybe I should have thought of something more original so that I could write something?
I've started having a personal trainer at Golds Gym. Wow I used to think ladders in soccer practice was the worst. Is it horrible after 7 minutes I turn to him begging for us to be done? I thought I wasn't in bad shape, but wow. It is definitely insane but I'm learning a lot. And learning a lot that I don't have much self determination and I really need someone yelling at me so I don't give up... at least when it comes to fitness. Watch out everyone driving around me, I can hardly lift my arms to make a left hand turn.

Day 3: Blog Challenege
day 3: pet peeves
Lately I have been very annoyed with people that do not act their age. Making a commitment to do something means that you will do it. There is no "oh sorry I just don't feel like it anymore." That was high school. We are now adults and you should take yourself seriously as an adult. If you say something I except you are going to do it.
People that sneeze and do not cover up. I have been involved with the health field long enough to know how many of those tiny germs are now flying my way making me want to hold my breath and duck for cover. Honestly. And yes I did just put hand sanitizer on just thinking about it.
Pyramid scams. Isn't it nice running into an old friend randomly... until they spill oh hey you need some life insurance, or oh hey you need to come be a part of this job. Pretty sure that nice reunion we just had was just a ploy to get me within arms reach. Thanks for nothing. Now I feel completely used and question our friendship altogether. Want some advice? Oprah just told me that you don't need more than $70k for a family of 5 to be happy.

Day 2: Blog Challenge
Day 2: Your Favorite Movie
I have to admit... I'm Twilight Obsessed. I never went and saw the first movie in the theaters, and it wasn't until 6 months after the movie was released that I actually read the books. Jon was working in New York and I was pretty bored at home and my sister in law Katie suggested I read the books. Lets just say I finished all of the books by the time Jon got back from NY. It definitely made the time fly. So I think I have this special connection with Edward comforting me when Jon was gone. HA!
The movie isn't really at all like the books, but with how much I LOVED the book, the movie reminds me of how much I love the book. Bella's acting is pathetic but I still love it.
TEAM EDWARD!!!!
=)

Day 1: Blog Challenge
day 1: recent picture of yourself and 5 interesting facts about you
Recent Picture of yourself:
5 Facts about me:
1: I hate cherries. The thought of it makes me think of NyQuil and that stuff is just disgusting!
2: I have had 8 surgeries and 4 broken since turning 12. That puts me at about 1 surgery/broken bone a year! Insurance for me is a must!
3: When I was in 3rd grade I overdosed on peanut butter and was allergic to peanuts for about 2 years. True story.
4: I do consider my dog my child. Until I have a real child of my own I will continue to let Milo sleep under my covers and give me kisses. Who can't love that little guy?
5: Every time that I have cried to get out of a ticket, I've gotten a ticket. Every time I have not cried, I have not gotten a ticket.... Anyone that says girls can get anything by crying is seriously mistaken.

Happy Birthday Jon!
Yesterday was Jon's Birthday!! On Sunday my family had a birthday party for Jon where he got his present from my parents and I; a Nail Gun!
A little spoiled but he deserved it! Then yesterday we all went out to lunch and my brother gave him Call Of Duty for the XBox... I might not be seeing him for awhile. =) Last night we went to the Grizzly game with some of Jon's friends. It was pretty fun and an awesome game! Grizzlies went into overtime and ended up loosing in a shoot out AND there was a pretty awesome fight that broke out, not bad not bad.
I am so thankful for Jon and everything that he does for me. He works so hard and is constantly there for me doing anything he can to put a smile on my face.
Happy Birthday!!!!

Corporate Games... and such
So this blog challenge isn't going so well... sad to say I have no recent pictures! We'll hold off on this challenge until I get some!
The beginning of this month work participated in "Winter Corporate Games." To our defense we are a much smaller company than most of the companies we were competing with. Other companies would hold try outs while we just begged people to participate. I participated in 4 events.
Ping Pong
Dad and I were on the same team... didn't go so well but it was fun!
Dodgeball
Soccer
We ended up playing 3 games (50 mins each) in a row with only 1 guy sub... pretty sure I lost 5 lbs that night
and Volleyball but I don't have any pictures back from that yet.
Church on Sunday was interesting too. Teaching the Sunbeams is the best birth control. For the first time I can officially say that I was spat on by a child. Yes a big, juicy, pool of spit landed perfectly on my wedding ring. Sweet. I constantly keep cleaning my ring just thinking about it.
Milo has graduated and now is good enough that he can be left out of his kennel while we are gone. He still stays in his kennel while we are at work but is left out when we go out at night. He gets VERY confused by this. He has learned that when we lock the door and put our shoes on its time to go and he runs into his kennel without being told. When we leave and his kennel is not locked he gets very confused. Last night Jon spent 20 mins trying to figure out what show to leave on for milo to watch when we were gone. Animal Plant was the pick.
