Pic post
I was tagged by Jeanne
Here is what you do: grab your camera and take at least 5 random pictures around your house. No cleaning up first, this is your house as is.
Here are some categories you could use:
* Room that stays the cleanest
* Work in progress
* What someone else is doing right now
* Favorite decor or display
* Something that represents your current life
* Favorite relaxing spot
* Something hand-me-down
* What someone else is doing right now.
This I guess represents some of our current life, the office/ Dillon's room
The living room this is actually a good day!
This is always a work in progress
Who would have thought that the laundry room is the cleanest room in the house!
Dillon fell asleep in a very relaxing place
He was too cute to just take one picture!
I tag anyone who wants to do it!

My first time!
This post is a little past due (about 2 weeks), but here is goes! I have lived in Colorado for about 20 years now and have not made it to CASA BONITA! Now for those of you not in CO it is a place where you go for the entertainment and not the food, but you take all your out-of-town guests there. I had a blast there!

This is one of the acts we saw about the sheriff and the bandit.
Behind the waterfall.
It is hard to see but there is a waterfall there where the divers will jump into.
My family!

How we met
My friend Emily put on her blog about how she met her husband and asked any one else who wanted to, could do so and post the link so she could read. So I am doing the same!
DECEMBER 2004
I just started going to the Singles Ward after having broken off my engagement with my ex. I went to an activity and I was so excited to see all my old friends and get with them so I wasn't paying any attention to anyone else around me. Mikel was apparently there. Then a few days later there was a free swing dance night at one of the downtown clubs and I was supposed to be meeting a friend there who never showed. I ended up finding some other friends that I knew and Mikel was with them, and I didn't know he was there until he asked me to dance. The rest of the night I was trying to show off and flirt. I also found out that he was moving into the Singles Ward so I could see him more. I was so excited. New Years eve we carpooled with a few other people to the dance. Mikel drove because he knew where we were going. Soon after we got there, he disapeared, and I had no idea where he went. Later I found out he went home, which was right there by the building. He also brought his sister and at that point her finance, she was some one I met at BYU -I in a dance class. That was quite fun. After the dance we went to breakfast and the friend that was riding with rode in the front seat. That made me a little jealous, but then they talked and mentioned that they wouldn't ever date then I knew that it would be alright.
JANUARY 2005
We hung out many times and got to know each other well. Then after many times of him asking to be bf/gf I said yes on Jan 30. I was holding back because I was working on my mission papers as well.
FEBURARY 2005
We hing out more and I threw a birthday party for him and made him a 2 layer lemon cake, the recepie I had gotten from my roommate at BYU-I.
MARCH 2005
More hanging out
APRIL 2005
We got engaged, the funny thing is that I don't remember the date, but I remember the day and what he did. We walked the temple grounds and he proposed there. It was so awesome!
MAY 2005
We then got married a week after his sister did on May 13, 2005. It was a Friday the 13th.
Anyone who would like to post about how they met their spouse or bf I would love to hear about them.

Update and New Years Eve!
The Friday after Christmas we went over to my SIL's house and watched Horton Hears a Who and Run Fat Boy Run. They were both pretty funny movies, Dillon actually sat through Horton and liked it. I found it to be quite funny as well. Fat boy was pretty good as well.
Yesterday on New Years Eve, I had to work so I was there until 10:30 and then went home. Mikel and I enjoyed some Martenilles and when midnight came we watched the ball drop and shared a kiss. Then we stayed up for a bit and finally went to bed at 1:30am. I haven't gone to bed that late in a long time. I also had several people text me and I also texted back and all. It was a fun night though!

Christmas at the Ropers :)
I know this is a little late but I am finally getting it done. We have been a little busy around Christmas. On Christmas morning we got up and opened our presents that we had under our tree. We had gotten a good deal on stuff at Walmart for Black Friday so we took advantage and what we got there we put under the tree. We got several movies including Kung Fu Panda (my parents gave us), Iron Man, Baby Mama and many others. We also got from my parents a crock pot that is bigger than the one we have and Dillon got a book and out fit from them as well. Our ward was generous enough to give us a gift card for food and gave Dillon a Nascar toy with cars that he loves! Mikel and I got each other a gift as well he got World of Warcraft and I got a Sewing Machine! We also had a great month finacially for both of us! After we opened our gifts we went over to my in-laws where we had waffles for breakfast. Dillon got the movie Cars, Clifford books, and a play mat to drive his cars on. We also got a cook book, a picture frame, and the story that they read every year on Christmas eve. We had a great time there we played games and snacked on candy and ham. Dillon had fun playing with his cousins, aunts and uncles. We had a great time!
