Juliet and me sitting on Santa's Lap.

So today at work we had Santa Cluause come. He came to promote the book The Night Before Christmas. It was so fun. He was a really good Santa. So I had Dan come bring the camera so I could get a picture. Also today at work one of my favorite LDs fiction authors came Betsy Brannon Green so I got to get a picture with her too. So it was a really fun day at work. Last night we went and saw the movie Bolt. It was really cute. I love Holiday weekends and I am soo excited for it to be Christmas. I can't believe it is only 26 days away. I have a few more gifts to get and then I am done.

It has been like amonth and a half since I have seen them. I am so excited for my sister Lauren too because she got engaged to AJ. Here are som pics of the day.

O Christmas Tree

Yes so I know most of you think I am crazy.. but I just couldn't wait. On Saturday afternoon I was sitting at hoem with Dan and I said lets put our tree up. Originally we were going to put it up on Wed the day before Thanksgiving but that didn't happen. Anyway it was fun to decorate and put it up. We put on Christmas music and wrapped a few presents. I have not put up my decorations yet but those will be goign up soon. So here are a few pics of our lovely Christmas tree. Now all it needs are presents. So if anyone wants to give us some feel free :)

TWILIGHT

Juliet, paige and Kenzie rocking out to Girls Just Wanna Have Fun

Right after the movie was over. Trying to stay awake. See our matching pajama bottoms?

Just looking at our friend Debbie's daughter wedding pictures.

Paige and I were singing Be My baby tonight by John Micheal Montgomery. The crowd went wild for u.

Syrina and I waiting around.

So last night was the night. Yes TWILIGHT was here. Me and my friends, Juliet, Paige, Lauren, Brianne and Syrina went and saw the movie at Midnight. IT was sooo fun, but I did realize that I am getting old. It was hard for me to stay up that late. But we started out the night with going over to Paige's house and having pizza, and karoake. We were busting out the moves. Then we played games and just chilled and got all excited. Then we left at 11 and headed to Jordan Commons. It was packed.... but it was a good thing we had assigned seats. So while we waited for it they kept on playing previews for all the good movies coming out. Oh yes also we all had matching pajama bottoms that we got from Target. Yes you are thinking how old are they, but hey we had fun. Then at exactly 11:59 it started, and that is what time our ticket said. overall I thought it was pretty good. I really liked it. I liked who the picked to play Jacob, and Edward was fabolous. Juliet was next to me and she kept making me laugh, because she got soo into it. IT was pretty funny. So we enjoyed the movie. Then oh my gosh trying to get out was a Zoo. We probaably waited and in the parking lot for like 20 minutes before we could even move an inch. So by the time I got home it waw 300. It has been forever since I have stayed up that long. But heck yes it was soo fun. It was all worth it to watch Edward Cullen and I did really like the girl who played Bella too. Also everyone look for a cameo appearance by Stephenie Meyers. Anyways it was a fabolous night.

Wednesday

Hey everyone I know its been a while since I have blogged. Its just been a busy week. But tonight I get to go to the Carrie Underwood Concert at the E center so I will have to post about that later. And I hope all you TWILIGHT fans are excited out there. I keep seeing the previews and It looks sooo good. I am so excited that Thanksgivng is just around the corner. So I will write more this weekend. Have a splendid night!!!!

For my Husband

I got this idea from my friend Teresa (she also does my hair) so if you need a good hair lady she is really good. But I thought this was a good idea. Especially since it is Thanksgiving.. .its the perfect time to tell Dan how much I love him and appreciate all he does for me. He is my best friend and I love him very much. He would do anything to make me happy. He makes me laugh and pretty much every hour he tells me he loves me. He will call me at work to just tell me that he loves me. He will leave little notes on the made bed. He works very hard to support us and just does so much for me. So here is a little history of us and some fun questions.

What is his name: Daniel Steven Isham
How long have you been married: 1 1/2 years
How long did you date? We dated fours month. He asked me on March 11 to marry him and our first date was Nov 11.
Who eats more sweets? Oh that is me.... I am a sweet aholic. Every morning he asks me, "if I am going to stop at the store and get a treat."

Whose parents do you see most? It's about equal. My mom lives in Arizona so we don't see her as much, but we usually have sunday dinner with mine or his parents like once a month or every other month. Then sometimes we call dan's parents because they like to play games, and hang out with us. We have a good time.

Who said I love you first: Dan did, I was not going to say it first even though I wanted to. He had just picked me up from the airport because I had went to my Mom's house in Arizona for Christmas. I really missed him and that was when I realized that this was the real deal. I was really scared to tell him though, because a previous relationship I had said it firs tand it didn't go so well. Anyway so he picked me up and we went back to his house and we were sitting on the couch, and I said, "I really missed you" and he said, "I missed you to," and the he said actually, " I love you" and I said it back to him. it was really sweet and he had told me that he wanted to tell me over the phone but he decided to wait until I was back. it was really sweet.

.
Who is taller? Dan I think he is 5"10 or so and I am 5"4. I have always liked the taller boys.


Who is smarter? We both are. We have our different strengths, but Dan knows alot of stuff too. He knows alot about history and politics. And he reads lots of books. I Know a lot about Children and child care, and different things. We balance each other out.

Who does the laundry? I do. But I don't mind because dan will fold it for me and put it away because I hate doing that part.

Who does the dishes? Usually me, but every once in a while he will do them.
Who pays the bills? I do.... but Dan knows whats going on. he does not like to do it.


His guilty pleasure~ Definetly his Video games, but that is okay. He is very sweet and dosen't play them when I am here. He isn't addicted to them and it helps him wind down for the day.


Who sleeps on the right side of the bed? Dan does. He actually wanted m y side but I didn't like his side because its harder to get out. So I am closest to the door.

Who has more friends? Well I think I do. Dan always says I have sooo many friends and that. I am soo popular, but I am really not. But we are starting to get some married couple friends so that is nice.
\
Who cooks dinner? I do.... Dan can cook eggs and hamburgers pretty good,but I do the most. MOst nights though I don't really have to cook because Dan is working at night.

Who is more stubborn? We b oth are. Dan always says I am very passionate about things, so I don't budge.

Who kissed who first? That would be Dan. We actually kissed on our first date.Yes I know Scandulous... I was really nervous. We had already held hands and I knew Dan wanted to kiss me. He actually asked if he could, it was really sweet but I was so nervouse I was like no not ye t. But about 30 minutes later I got over it and we kissed. It was really sweet we have been kissing ever since.:)

Who asked who out first? Dan did. We had actually met at his sisters house a few weeks ago, cause his sister was setting us up but then he officially called me and asked me out on Halloween Our first date was Nov 11.

Who proposed? Dan did. He was so good and had it all planned. He had intialy wanted to do like geneology and then do the baptisms for them but it didn't work out that way. So then we just decided to go to the Salt Lake Temple and do baptisms for the dead. Well it was really cool and he got to baptize me. Well the whole time I kind of had a feeling something was up because he was really smiley and just had this look in his eyes, but then I was like no he 's not going to propose. So then after we were done he took us up to the Christus statue in the visitors center and when we got up there a tour was finishing up. So we just waited and then we was like lets go up there, so we went to get a closer look and before I knew what was happening he was down on one knee and said Megan Thomas will you marry me. It was really sweet, and I had not seen it coming. I was soo giddy the rest of the day. I was on cloud 9. It was so romantic and I loved that he had it all planned out.



Who has more siblings? We actually have the same amount. We both have five brothers and sisters. We are both the fourth child too. My family has three girls two boys, and his family has three boys two girls.

What is your favorite thing about him? I can't just pick one. But he is just the most amazing person. He makes me feel beautiful everyday, and tells me. He is so willign to do anything to help me or to make me happy. He lets me know how important our marriage is and that he wants to be worthy everyday to be my husband. He literally treats me like a Queen. He still opens my doors for me and watches my cheesy movies and goes to High School Musical with me and doesn't complain. Like my friend, Teresa he still treats me like when we were dating. He is genuine and real, and what you see is what you get. I love you very much, and thanks for all you do for me.

DAVID ARCHULETA

Oh yeah I forgot to mention that David Archuleta's album came out yesterday. And I went to Walmart before I went to work and purchased it. YAY DAVID!!!!! IT is really good... and He has been on different talk shows this week and he is just so cute and you can tell he does not know hwo to handle the fame. On one of the Utah shows they asked what he was going to do with all his money, and he said:" Pay my tithing and then I guess save for my mission." Yay what a sweetie. Anyway everyone go out and support DAVID!!!!

Random Thoughts.....

Only 8 days til I get to see Twilight. I am sooo excited. My friends and I are going to have a huge party before and then at 11:59 we get to see the wonderful movie. I think it looks sooo good. I think they picked a good Edward and Bella, just from the previews.
So I totally want Derek and brooke to win on the Dancing with the Stars. They are so much fun to watch, and I think Derek has such a fun personality. I saw a preview for the new season of the Bachelor too with Jason. I am so excited, even thought it doesn't have the greatest track record of actually working out. I kind of suprised that Deanna and Jesse did not work out. Yes I know I am obssessed its just tv, but hey I love it. Only 15 days til Thanksgiving. It will be fun for my mom and walt to come and to have my mom's yummy Thanksgiving dinner. Now I know I can make it and it turns out fine but it always taste better when its your moms food.. Anyway that is enough Rambling for me.

There was a lot of people there, but it was fun to see all the Costumes and kids there. Then we heaed over to Leah's house for some yummy homemade Chile and bread. It was soo good. Here are a few pictures I took of the kids.
