It's THIS easy?!

For months I've been trying to find an easy way to edit my videos and put them into the right format (with a reasonable size) so I can upload them. It seems like YouTube takes forever to put a 1 minute video online. Don't get me wrong, I love YouTube...it's just frustrating when you don't have hours to spend doing this kind of stuff. So 2 days ago, I was looking at a friend's blog and saw that her videos were posted to her blog through Vimeo. I had heard of it before, but was loyal to YouTube. But it seemed so easy, so I thought I'd give it a try. They had a tutorial on how to edit your videos...and, guess what?! They use Windows Movie Maker! Holy cow. I can't believe how simple it is! I had the software all along, because it comes with PCs, but I must've had a bad experience with it or something because I never did anything with it. So, I've uploaded quite a few videos of Lily in the past couple days. Take a look: My Vimeo Videos

You can also send me suggestions on what you want to see videos of. Please send me some and I'll do my best to get them up!

Goodness...who knew it would be this easy?!

Surprise!!!

For all those who don't know - we've moved to Utah! Surprise!! Crazy, huh? It all happened so fast that I never got around to announcing it. And now I don't have my laptop, so I have to make time to sit down at my desktop computer...and with an 11-month-old that gets into EVERYTHING that she's not supposed to...it's a little difficult at times.

We left Virginia on March 22 and drove to Richmond to spend Easter with my sister, Brie, and her family, and my sister Liz and her boyfriend John. It was a great weekend, but really sad to leave them. We started off on Monday (after stopping by Costco and getting a new toy - a GPS!), and drove to Kentucky to stay with our friends John and Erin. After a wonderful dinner and playing some Wii/DS, we went to bed. Tuesday morning we packed up and drove until Kearney, NE! Our goal was to make it to Kansas City, MO that day, but we made it there at dinnertime (and ate at a great BBQ place, Arthur Bryant). And since Lily was being absolutely wonderful in the car, we decided to just keep on going! Wednesday morning we headed out first thing in the morning, and drove all the way to Cedar Hills, UT! 3 full days of driving, but it was definitely worth it.

We're temporarily living with Jonny's parents in Cedar Hills while we look for a house (or, a place to live). I don't mind living with them, but I really want to have a place of my own, so we're trying to find something soon! :)

Well that's it in a nutshell!

(Oh my goodness...I'm such a goober! I wrote this on Friday morning - April 18, and I never published it. Now it's Saturday night...dork.)

I've been tagged!

I was reading my friend Reiko's blog today and saw that she tagged me almost a month ago! Sorry Reiko - I've been a little busy! haha...so anyway, here I go...

How long have you been married?
3 years 9 months

Who eats more sweets?
hmm, probably Jonny

Who said I love you first?
Jonny

How old is he?
26

Who is taller?
Jonny...he's 5'10" and I'm 5'4"

Who is smarter?
That totally depends on the subject. Math and science are my strong points, and history is his (neither of us enjoy English). Usually I'm the more logical one, but he surprises me with his realism a lot of the time!

Who can sing better?
I think that both of us can sing equally well. I just get asked to sing more and I'm not afraid to, so people don't know that he sings. Does that make sense?

Who does the laundry?
I do...all the time...

Who pays the bills?
That would be me!

Who sleeps on the right side of the bed?
The right side when you're looking at it or when you're laying down? Looking at the bed, I sleep on the left. So I guess the answer is Jonny!

Who mows the lawn?
We don't have a lawn...because we don't have a house. Hopefully that will change soon and Jonny will mow the lawn! :)

Who cooks dinner?
Jonny, mainly.

Who drives?
Jonny always drives when we're together - unless it's more convenient for me to drive.

Who is more stubborn?
That would be me...

Who kissed who first?
Jonny

Who asked who out?
umm...I don't really know. I don't think there was really any asking involved.

Who is more sensitive?
Jonny, I think...shh!

Who has more siblings?
We're equal! I have 5 sisters and he has 4 brothers and 1 sister!

Who wears the pants?
I like to think that we're equal, but in reality, I think I tend to do more of the 'pants wearing.'


And that's it! Hope you enjoyed it! I really don't know of anyone who reads this...but if you're Marie, Alyssa or Beth - TAG, you're it! :D
