U + Me = Us.. Calculus..

Ahhh I just feel like blogging. Unfortunately I hardly have anything to post... Whenever I'm in a convo with someone I usually think in my head "I'm gonna blog about this" but I sometimes always forget what that convo entailed. I kept telling Devon I'm gonna blog about how I actually find some parts of the Olympics to be a tad boring and how I just can't get myself to read those Twilight books, hence imagining leaving my husband for a much paler guy (sorry Devo, you're tan but not as tan as you used to be, remember when you had the ten a month pass.. hehe secrets out). Ack sorry if I offend anyone.. But this blog is my prerogative yo.

Anyway... I thought the best thing to make a post about would be to tell the story of how Devon and myself became. It is almost our one year anniversay and all.. No, not from when we first met, we celebrated that a few months ago.. Kidding, sort of. Alright, now the story begins... "cue harp and fairy dust.." One night while I was living in Provo, I was taking up all the clothes and shoes I stole from my sisters to my apartment. These two fine gentleman asked if I needed a hand. Neither of them were Devon. But I said sure since they were going up to my apt anyway. They thought, while running around in adult diapers one night (oh college), that some girls yelled "King Henry 310! ow!" so they appeared.. I think I speak for all my roomies when I say that we were not the girls who yelled that, but wow am I glad that's what they heard.. You may be thinking what does this have to do with Devy... Well they were his roommates Luke and Tyler (shoutout) so I pretty much have them to thank for my lifelong bliss.
I remember the first time I met Devon. He and one of the nice guys who helped with all my stolen goods came back to 310 one night to invite me to their "big hair party." Devon was just clinging on to the railing outside my door and I remember thinking "wow he does have big hair... good thing they're having this party." Well I didn't go to it but him and Luke came over again, this time to watch Xmen3. My roommates bailed on me so it was just the three of us. Awkwardish. Devon started calling girls from my ward directory to ask them on dates and I so thought he was a playa. Silly me.
Anyway.. Our actual first dateish consisted of getting Devon's dry cleaning and eating at the Provo Olive Garden. Both those places will always hold a special place in my heart. After that we were pretty much inseperable. He even came to my family's Christmas Eve ugly sweater party and we didn't even call each other gf/bf yet. Brave boy he was, wearing a turtleneck and all. So that is how we began. We've had our ups and downs but mostly ups.. I'm still a lil bitter about when he compared me to a Charleston Chew but he's made up for it dearly. I love my lil'Devy and I'm glad you are my husband. We've almost made it 1 year! Best year of my life!! Woo! Oh my this is such a long post for me.. I'm trying to move my blog on up so I can someday get paid to do this since I didn't pass the chacha guide test. Enjoy the story of the Tonkas. I know I have.
This is us at Devon's house in Cali. First time I met his family. Don't we look so different? Probably not since it was barely a year ago. Ahhh Provo love.
The End. Oh here's Devon... What did everyone think of The Hills? Team Lo or Audrina? Team Heidi's sister or Spencer? Loves the beard.

Tagged.. brewhahah

So Chelsea "tagged" me or whatever. She is so silly. But since it's been a while and since my camera seems to be not cooperating with my computer I guess this is all I've got. Just words.. Ooohhh boy here goes.
Three Joys:
1. My family. They are all just too great.
2. My Lil' Devy. aka my husband Devon. He's funny.
3. Baby Ice. I really get joyful when I'm at a restaurant/fast food chain and I see they have baby ice. Cheek to cheek smile appears.
Three Fears:
1. Clowns. Nuff said.
2. Spiders. That's Devs too.. You should hear him scream when they come out from under our couch. Yes, we have spiders living under our couch. Eeekk..
3. Kidney infections. Those are a regular Dracula or something else fearful.. Seriously.
Three Goals:
1. To clean my house. It's so dirrrttyy..
2. I guess to be pretty healthy.. I've really let myself go.. What with major surgery and a kidney infection and all.
3. To figure out where that retched smell is coming from at my place of work. It's unsettling.
Three Current Obsessions/Collections:
1. Celebrities
2. Celebrities
3. Celebrities
Like I said in one of my previous posts, I will be the next Perez.
Three Random Surprising Facts About Me:
1. I can sing the national anthem with my mouth closed. Complete with a "Play Ball!"
2. You'd be surprised to know that I sometimes, always know random things. Things that really should be unknown to me.. Msnbc people. It works wonders.
3. I can crochet like nobody's business.. Okay that's a lie. I can play croquet like nobody's business.. That might not be a lie..
I tag: Cecily and that's it... I really wanna check your blog one day and see that you're not new to blogging. It's getting ridiculous.

Welp that's me being tagged.. Update on my life is that I had surgery which wasn't so bad, but then I got sick from my pain pills which was sad, but then I had a kidney infection which is the worst pain I have ever felt. Devon was there for the entire time and I bet he'd tell you that it was the worst pain he has ever felt too. At least he got a glimpse of what life will be like when I'm 80 and can barely walk. Other than that life is good.. Ahhh Madsen Family Reunion '08! You'd understand if you were a Madsen. Which I'm thinking mostly anyone who reads my blog is so good times.

P.S. Devon wanted me to make an announcement that August 18th is the hills season 4 premiere and he is excited. I'm not even joking. I kinda wish I were.

you know you love us
