Things About Us.

Hello all. We've been happily married f0r just over a month and it's been awesome! We've learned so much about each other and about making a life together. In the spirit of learning new things about me and Richard, we felt we would share some things YOU might not know about US. :)

1. The first real lesson learned in our marriage is Weinerschnitzel everyday is no good. Just because fast food is cheap (and delicious) does not mean it will make you (or your tummy) happy...
2. Our two new favorite shows are Ghost Adventures (Travel Channel) and Whale Wars (Animal Planet...thanks Stewart). We watch them obsessively.
3. We have the names of our future children picked out already.
3. We've discovered Epic Pet Wars. (iPhone app. Check it out.)
4. Richard is precisely 10 inches taller than Erika.
5. We try to be fashionable, but we can never stop buying dead men's clothes and elementary school mascot shirts at the DI.
6. Erika can never make up her mind. If it weren't for Richard we would have died of starvation long ago.
7. We both drive our dream car (except neither of them are the right color.)
8. In 3 days we each have a 20 page paper due. We are awesome at procrastination.
9. We've made the long journey to Yogurtland and back.
10. Richard is so strong he cracked his Tungsten ring.
11. Richard gets mad because Erika leaves all the cupboards and drawers open. She is getting better.
12. Richard designed Erika's ring all by himself. She didn't even get a chance to peek at it until he proposed.
13. He tells her he loves her a thousand times a day.
14. The first time Richard came over to meet her family, her little brother shot him multiple times with his marshmallow gun.
15. Erika got REALLY excited when she learned about Hogwarts Land.
16. We are excited to move into our teeny apartment in a few weeks.
17. Erika's love for shopping has resurfaced upon moving to Las Vegas. Richard tried so hard to suppress it...
18. After dating for some time we decided we should get married. Then we moved to opposite sides of the world for 4 months.
19. We both miss actually having a summer vacation.
20. We LOVE being so close to family in Vegas. The heat, not so much...
21. We are so lucky to be able to go to the temple; by ourselves and with our friends.
22. Midnight Pomegranate is our favorite.
23. We love Yasuko, our pizza lady.
24. It rained on our wedding day...but we have amazing pictures! (They will be posted. I know I am SO SLOW.)
25. We love the gospel, each other, and our families. We couldn't be more blessed.

Richard, Zach used to live ALL the cupboards and drawers open, then I trained him... and now we live with his parents and they do the same thing.. so I think I'm going to have to train him again when we move to Logan.
