Gingerbread Houses!! :)
On Monday nights, Curt and I usually spend our evening with his family.. since we figured the more the merrier for FHE! :)
So last Monday, we decided to make gingerbread houses. His awesome mom, Jill, baked and cut them into pieces for us to enjoy and build. This is how our night went...
It took us probably almost 2 hours just concentrating on our houses!
Yay for cool gingerbread houses hahah!!! :)

Harry Potter Craziness!!!
Oh man!!!!!!!! Talk about the most epic movie of the year!!!
Curt and I watched Harry Potter with our good friends, the Pratts and the Petersons last Saturday. Talk about one crazy and awesome night. It started off when we met in Sandy for dinner at Chipotle... then since we had 2 hours to spare, we headed out to the South Towne Mall to walk around and just waste time. Besides, Alec's shoes got wet from the snow that poured down on us that night. After that, we finally went to the movies, hung out for a bit and then decided to finally sit down in the theater. Anyway, when we got there, the guy who takes the tickets noticed that our ticket stubs were supposed to be from the night before. Shockingly, Curt and I made a mistake and booked our tickets online and reserved our seats for Friday night instead of Saturday. Gah!! Of course, I was totally panicking and stressing out. We went to guest services to see if they could fix the problem. She told us that she's not sure if she could get us good seats.. so I was mortified and was worried. This was supposed to be a good night to enjoy! Well, when she checked the availability, to our surprise, the seats that we booked for the previous night was available. It was awesome! We were all so happy and I even thought that Harry Potter was on our side and probably Dumbledore made it happen too from his grave. (I know, I'm weird like that!) But seriously, to think that luck was on our side that night, when the movie would've been sold out since it was opening weekend! It was completely magical! Haha!! Anyway, after that, we got in, sat comfortably, and watched with astonishment. Of course, who all of those who read the book and watched it.. I totally cried like a baby in the end. But even though there are critics out there that think it ended abruptly, I think it totally ended with a perfectly good cliffhanger just to make the audience go hungry for more! And maybe put them in torture for 6 months til the 2nd part comes out!! AAAAHHHHHHH!!!!! LOL!

Stressful situations...
Sitting here in the living room with Tucker, a 5 month old baby boy that I've been taking care of for the past few weeks, I started thinking of things that I needed to do before the end of the year.
After Halloween, life has just been so stressful lately since Curt and I are preparing ourselves for some life changing experiences.
So, we'll see how these following months go for us!!! Our fingers are crossed!!! Wish us luck!!!
After Halloween, life has just been so stressful lately since Curt and I are preparing ourselves for some life changing experiences.
First, is that we'll be moving to his uncle's basement at the end of the month. We're both pretty excited about it since it's about 3x bigger than our current apartment right now, it's in a safer neighborhood (South Holladay) and it'll just feel more like home. Yay!!
Another, is that we both recently applied to Weber University and got accepted. The only challenge now is applying for their Nursing and Radiology programs. We're currently in the process of submitting our applications. I, on the other hand, still have some steps to do. Like, taking my CNA certification and passing it! Yikes!!
Also, another stresser for me is getting a Utah license. I've been trying to avoid getting one since I moved here.. since I'm still so attached with my California one. Haha!! I'm sure it's not that bad but the fact of me being an actual "UTAHN" is just weird.
So, we'll see how these following months go for us!!! Our fingers are crossed!!! Wish us luck!!!

First Halloween...
This year for halloween has had a twist on things. It was our first time having difficulty looking for a costume, our first time dressing up as a couple, and my first year not trick or treating!! So sad, no candies for me!!! :( I guess it's a good and bad thing at the same time. Haha!! It's a bittersweet thing!
Well, for this year, Curt and I had a hard time deciding who to be. Usually, it takes me a day or 2 to decide or pick a costume, the same goes for Curt. In 2 weeks, we've went to almost 7 different halloween stores to choose what we want. From Mario and Luigi, to Power Rangers, to even Star Wars and Prince of Persia. Finally after the torturous trips to halloween stores, we decided to go simple and cheap. We decided to be.... Harry Potter and Cho Chang. LOL!!! It was pretty much easy, perfect and quite funny at the same time. We just bought the cloaks at the store, and I went in Curt's closet and dug out a church shirt, socks, and his tie. The rest was a sweater and a skirt. I had to do the modest version. ;) And for Curt, same thing, he pretty much wore what he wears to church. Haha!! Thanks to our friends who were smart to bring a camera (Matt and James), we got some pretty good pics from Steph's party.
A pose for the camera!! LOL.. you could totally see how big Curt's shirt on me by the ruffles on my sleeve..
Grabbing a bite during the party!! That was some yummy chili!! :D
Yay Halloween!!!! Next stop.. Thanksgiving!!!

Odyssey Dance Company: Thriller
Anyway, the show was at the Kingsbury Hall at the U of U. And as expected, while we were at our seats, zombies started coming out and scaring people. There was actually one girl who screamed every time a zombie came to her. Good thing they didn't come towards us. Phew! The show started off with the "Thriller" song and for once, it was choreographed differently from the original.. even though the original was still epic, it was nice to see a change. Then, a mummy dance which was pretty cool. What I remember most from the first Act was 'Dem Bones' where it looked like skeletons tapping and dancing with just a blacklight. It was pretty awesome. Kinda reminded me of when Forte boys in high school did their glow in the dark basketball and strings number with an N'SYNC song. The first Act ended with a 'Jason' number where there are 3 Jasons and they do a rhythmical beat with knives, chainsaws, and ice picks. It was really cool and funny too.. it was more of a comedy act. They also had a number dedicated to Twilight. It totally had Team Jacob and Team Edward. It was funny coz it was kind of making fun of the movie at the same time. They also had a 'Chucky' number.. and it was pretty freaky. I wanted their costumes though coz they totally looked like the doll.. I didn't like the end part when they had pyros flashing and blinding the audience. It even made some people cough coz of the smoke. The Grudge number that they had was pretty much creepy. Curt said it wasn't like the movie at all.. but still, it was the scariest one. Their last dance was an imitation of 'River Dance.' It was pretty cool.. it started off with girls doing the river dance and then one by one they were getting shot like they were a carnival game or something. It was hilarious.. That's actually one of Curt's family's favorites.
Anyway, if you're really curious, check it out yourself. If you like singing, dancing, performing, being on stage, or just loves a good laugh, then you'll definitely want to put this on your agenda next year.

Stress-Free? Yes Indeedy!!
Wow! It's been awhile since I posted something.. it's probably coz I didn't want to babble about nonsense or anything not too exciting. Haha!
I'm so grateful for this month! I mean seriously!! 3 massages in 1 month is so awesome! Talk about major pampering lol!
So let me start off by my first pampering. It was a gift from my good friend, Stephanie Houchens (now last name, Roberts) :)
Anyway, as a gift for her bridesmaids, she took us to a spa out in Victorville called "Athena Jean Salon and Day Spa." The experience there was amazing. The bridal party were the only ones at the salon. We totally felt like royalty and it was incredible. We felt like queens, princesses, celebrities, whatever! All I know was, it was basically Women Heaven! haha.. They fed us little fruit cups and refilled it every time we wanted more, then for lunch time, we had salad, cold sandwiches, and pita chips with dip. I mean, we were there from 9 til almost 3 pm. From mani-pedi to getting massages and a facial. It was totally a blast. I even remembered when Brittany (maid of honor) walked out from her massage, I told her she looked like she just had sex hair or something.. lol.. but she said to wait til it was my turn and see how it's like. I was the last ones to get my massage. And she was totally right!! After my massage and facial, it felt like my soul went over the rainbow. Haha! I totally forgot where I was!! After that, we all went down to Riverside where the dinner party was held and to have one last girl's night/sleepover with our dear friend!!! :)
For the 2nd pampering, was a funny experience since I was with my wonderful husband Curt! Lately Curt and I have been stressed from school and work! (Can you totally relate?) Well, after trying to figure out on what to do to relieve our stresses, I decided that both of us need some pampering time and to get a massage for our own sake. So.... I got us a "couples massage" appointment at Healing Mountain School of Massage Therapy. Yay!!!! =)
So this is how our night went:
Our appointment was at 7:30 pm. We came from home at around 5ish to 6, Curt made dinnner, Honey Mustard Chicken with Rice (which was amazing! seriously, the guy can cook! When I cook, it's either good coz of luck or I just burn it!) Anyway, a little after 7, we left and drove to the place. At first, it was hard to find because it was pretty much hidden but we managed and found it. Right when we entered the building, you could totally just smell the aromas that was coming from the place. When we got there, we got appointed to 2 students. I had the older student and Curt got this cute girl who looked like she was 18 or 19 years old. We were guided to a room where it had 2 massage tables and then they just left. At first, I knew we had to de-robe and get prepared but since they didn't say anything, Curt and I just walked around the room and started talking. He was really nervous coz he had a young girl. Haha! 10 mins later, they came back and were surprised that we were still dressed. We all laughed and gave us privacy again to prepare. A few mins later, we were ready to get our back massages. The massage was nice. It wasn't as pro as the salon spa that I went 2 weeks ago but it was still good. Our session was 70 mins long. After the massage, we were all relaxed. Curt had some funny things to say about the girl who massaged him. He came to me after they left and said "I was just imagining it was you massaging me coz it felt like that the girl was inlove with me." I laughed coz I thought it was funny. Another reaction of his was when we got dressed, the 2 students gave us water to "flush out the toxins.." Curt's face just got shocked and looked at me. He whispered.. "What toxins is she talking about? Did they put toxins in our body?" Gosh, I'm so thankful for my husband! He just cracks me up! LOL...
Last massage for the month was when I went back 2 days later with my in-laws: Jill, Holly, and Carrie. These 3 ladies are seriously so wonderful. I could've never asked for a better family. Anyway, we had various types of massages. Jill got the Hot Stone Swedish Massage, Holly got the Deep Muscular Massage, Carrie got Swedish Massage, and I got the CranioSacral Therapy (sounds weird? it's totally like a major meditation thing to help my migraines and backaches) Most of us had a good experience except for poor Carrie. She didn't like hers that much since he wasn't that good. Too bad!! I promised her we'll go again next month for sure.
The funny thing about hers was that she had a pack of kleenex in her hand while being massaged and when he got to the arm and hand part, the therapist gave her a weird look took and put it back after massaging her hand. It was fun!!
Well, that's my story for major October pampering! Hope you enjoyed reading this really long blog! xoxo

Just some pics from this year...
The Beginning of Everything...
Believe it or not.. Outrageous it may seem and sound but yes, we did meet through the crazy awesome social network everyone calls Facebook. It's funny how people think we met on his mission. I was at the edge of my senior year in high school back in California when he left for the Philippines. LOL!
A hiking trip with his family..
One of our Moab trip pictures.. oh and this was when I cut my hair so short.. It was a bad decision!
Of course, who doesn't own a Disneyland picture? LOL
This was a picture of us being taken by his awesome sister Holly! The picture was taken a month after we were dating.. It totally felt like we were posing for engagement pics!! I was freaking out!
Next thing I knew, Oct 2, 2010 was the day I got proposed to at Bear Lake.
This is how the sly Curtis did the trick to make me say Yes... Raspberry shake! LOL..
A cool engagement shot at Wheeler Farm.. Now this was the real deal!
And then................
We finally tied the knot and got sealed on January 2, 2010!!!!
So basically, that's kinda like the pattern from when we met to how we've become: Mr. and Mrs. Buckmiller! <3 <3 <3
Was it a crazy journey, yes indeedles!!!

Finally!!!!
Hey Guys!!! Finally, I have made a blog! For many months, or basically ever since I got married, I've been debating I should make a blog about married life or not. Everyone seemed to be doing it.. but I wasn't sure if I wanted to join the circle of blogging or just be boring and just post anything on facebook about life. Haha! I'm sure everyone goes through that, and just makes the updates of life as their status. But I don't want to be boring anymore. I actually thought of it while sitting in my living room, home alone, and just waiting for an inspiration to come. And there it was... like a lightbulb hitting me on the head! "I should make a blog!" It was like a chorus of angels singing to me and a beam of light shining down on my laptop. So I opened it and then starting making one! And voila! Here it is!! I just hope I can be inspired to update every time something exciting happens in our lives, or maybe even the boring ones just so that everyone can enjoy, laugh, cry, and whatever emotions there is in the world with us!!! :)
