Just for fun...

The other week when Ryan was out of town he watched an episodes of Rob and Big on MTV where they just tried to break as many records as they could. If you don't know what the show is it’s basically just a reality show about Rob who is a professional skater and his HUGE body guard Big and all the dumb things that they do. So Ryan told me about the show and the records that they had broken and one of them was that Big had eaten the most mini powdered doughnuts in a minute, which I think was like 9. Well after that we decided that we had to try it so we picked up a box on our way home to test it out ourselves! The rules were that you have one minute, you have to finish eating each one before you put the next in your mouth, and you can't lick your lips...which was the hardest part.
Ryan was up first and seemed to be eating them so slow! He was just sitting there calmly eating them like it was totally normal and he wasn't trying to eat as many as possible. He only ate 4 so I totally thought that I was going to kill him. I started and was such a spaz shoving the doughnuts in my mouth and flailing my arms around thinking that would some how make me eat them faster! Ryan got some pretty good action shots of me (this was the least embarrassing one!!) Sadly at the end of my minute I had only managed to eat three and a half doughnuts, I know that sounds like nothing but it was actually way harder than you would think! If anyone else wants to try it you'll have to let me know how many you could eat!

Officially A Working Girl

I started my first real day of work on February 3rd and I have already learned so much. I'm really enjoying my job and I love being in the spa setting. I did have my first hairy (but not sweaty!) man the other day and luckily it was only a 25 minute massage and I made it through! I think Ryan's pretty excited that I'm finally working and it is nice to have more to do when he is gone. I'm working on getting on specialty teams right now and am hoping that I can get on deep tissue, pregnancy and and a signature burke massage called Emilee's Intrigue. I'm hoping to be able to take the classes and the tests in the next two months so that I can start doing those types of massages at work. It will be really nice to have a little more variety in my schedule since right now I can only do a few variations of the basic swedish massage. Plus once I am on three differnt teams I can start having private clients at the spa which I know a few people are really looking forward to that! I'm getting used to my new schedule and my soar forearms but I'm really loving just getting to massage all the time and of coarse the perks of working at a spa!

Brad Paisly Concert in Vegas

For Christmas Ryan got me concert tickets for Brad Paisly in Las Vegas. I was so excited because he is one of my favorite country artists and Rodney Atkins was opening up for him and me and Ryan both love his first CD. The concert was January 26th so that Saturday morning we drove out to Vegas for a really quick trip. We got to our hotel and they had messed up with our room scheduling so they "upgraded" us to a room with a view of the strip which was kinda fun to have.
I was so excited to wear my cowboy boots since it was a country concert so of coarse I had to wear them. I just didn't really think about the fact that we were in Vegas on the opposite side of the strip from the Mandalay Bay where the concert was and that we would have to walk all the way there! The concert was so good! Chuck Wicks opended first and even though we only knew the stealing cinderella song we really loved his preformance. All his songs were so good! And then Rodney was up next and I absolutely love his CD and he was so entertaining, I think I could have left after that and been totally happy with the concert! Brad Paisly was one of the best country artist that I have seen live. He is so talented! He made me want to learn how to play the guitar just so that I could get one that looked like his! It was such a fun concert and a great present from Ryan because it was a total suprise. The next morning we drove back home so it was a really quick trip but it was a lot of fun and nice to get away for the weekend expecially since Ryan had been gone the three weeks before that!
