Oh geez, what have become of me? I absolutely abandoned this blog! I'm sorry...turns out the idea of NO ONE reading it is not very inspiring after all!
So, we haven't done MUCH lately. It did go to the Sundance Film Festival and THAT was pretty sweet. We got to actually see Jessica Alba (no paparazzi picture of the moment), Dennis Hopper and Michael Madsen (yes for pictures!). Of course it's sorta lame that we didn't see other famous poeple, but Jacob never realized Sundance was "general admission" and has never tried to go up there. Watching the movies for the first time they're introduced to the audience is a pretty sweet thing. Usually the director and the movie cast will be in the place, watch the movie with you, answer any question you might have after the movies and sometimes hang out for pictures and stuff! How cool is that? I've never in my life thought I'd get to meet a famous person and it's always weird when it happens because it's kind of hard to believe that the people from TV are real and all. (ok, you can laugh now!). Anyways, we had a really good time!
I haven't done much lately..haven't evne taken too many pictures! (owwww, surprising, I know). I've been in that mood where I'll be sitting and waiting for something interesting to happen! lol something that is coming up and is very axciting is mine and Jacob's first anniversary on February 3rd! I can hardly believe it has been one year already! Time has passed sooo fast, it seems like yesterday that I was all confused trying to figure out how a LDS wedding in the States should look like! hahaha I'm so glad I had so many helpful people to guide me!! This one year has been crazy, we gone everywhere and done so many things. I'm so happy I'm married! I love Jacob so much, he's the only person who can put up with my madness 24/7, I still can't believe I tricked him into marring me! lol Thank you so much for being my BB!!
Ow well, anyways...I've got to go...I need to eat something...that's ALL I've done lately, can't wait for the summer!! I'll leave you guys with some pictures, the first ones are from Amanda, or Amandinha as we call her (and she doesnt understand), she's been a great friend putting up with our craziness and my bad moods! Thanks girlie!
1st: Reading her scriptures before bed (I feel bad about myself! lol) and Walking in the snow...oh what a crappy weather we've had...seriouly.
Ladies and Gentleman, Dennis Hopper, one craaazy old dude!
Michael Madsen...who doesn't seem to act all that much as he is exactly as you'd imagine!
And here's my dear husband Jacob having the time of his life!
Okay, now stop everything. I have been trying desperatly to find pictures taken by other people from the day I took the walk with Hanson. I finally found these pics and I LOVE it...Jacob busted laughing when he saw it because he said my face says A LOT of my state seeing Hanson so close to me for the first time: I was about to callapse! hahahaha check it out:
Me, trying to breath IN and OUT very slowly...
Here's a shot of me playing retarded. I looked like I couldn't believe my eyes! haha
This is a funny one...here's me trying to look normal by consentrating on anything but WHO was RIGHT by my side.
Pretty much giving up life! I was to the point where I needed to be supported by the wall behind me! Note side for Jacob in the back! hahahaha This one is hilarious!
Anyway, I just thought I'd share my weekness of that day with the world! hahaha I love photography, it's wonderful to have still images of what happened...sometime I forget.
PS: This text has NO editing...and I don't want to edit it right at this moment!!
About this time last year I was getting to know all about America (which doesn't take long when you come to think about it). I set foot in the States on January 1st, maybe because I couldn't wait any longer...maybe becuase that would be easier for my memory to register the moment...maybe becuase that was when our plane tickets was available. And as we are talking about ticket availability, let's not forget that New Years is one of the busiest days to be flying and as we were stand bys, we got stuck in Cincinnatti for 3 days! So here was my first impression of America. I tried really hard by that time to make sense of everything I was seeing: HUGE chips bags, HUGE bras, HUGE panties, HUGE refillable pop "jugs", HUGE trucks, HUGE stores...have that impression changed? BAAANNNNG! Nops...and here are some other things that should be explained to any foreingner coming to America:
Wal-Mart: It's the PURE form of American culture. I'd dare to say that Wal-Mart IS America. You can find everything that makes America what it is, right there, in one place: hamburgers, donuts, huge everything, illegal immigrants...you name it!
Sunflower Seeds: WHAT? Now, try and explain to someone like me the reason for one to suck on SEEDS as a past time.
HUGE trucks: My most dear non-American friend, to understand this statement fully, go ahead and write the following on you Google search bar: HUMMER. Now that you see the picture I see in my head, I feel compelled to ask the following "how many human being do you thing ride in a truck such as a HUMMER?" ...oh very good my fellow immigrant, "ONE" is the answer. Now why do they need such big cars that pollute the air we breath? Well, now you can go ahead and answer that one question becuase the reasons may vary and I can't get any incapable of offending someone.
SODA: Here's something that would NEVER work in Brazil...actually, it could even serve as a weapon of self destruction: refillable soda. Man, kiddos would go c-r-a-z-y! Are you kidding me? I can drink as much I can fit in my body? There would have people changing the amount of bloog in the veins for soda.
Water: Right as I got here I watched a very stupid movie called "stupidity". I didn't like the movie at that time...and I don't think I'd like it now, but the movie plot was pretty much this: A guy get send to the future where everybody (becuase of technology and all) got really stupid. So, one of the problems they had was that no plants would ever grow and THAT was becuase they were watering the plants with Gatorade. As crazy as it might sound...I don't see why not that wouldn't happen! Everybody around here will drink this "pumped" water. It's not very likely to find someone drinking regular water and that's kind of scary if you ask me.
I could totally go on forever about every single thing that got me thinking in this place but that would take way too much writing. People have tried to explain those things to me more than once...but thing is, culture cannot be explain, it HAS to be borned with and lived in order to be understood. Even though I have lived here for one year and will live here for most of my adult life, I'll never fully understand everything that Amercians do and think. And that's not a bad thing, I have my own culture with crazy things of its own and those who haven't born and lived in it will never understand either! So this is my post for today. I'll be posting what it is like to be a Braziian here very soon...just so you guys know I don't make fun of "the others" only!
Here are some pictures of my crazy past year:
On the plane on New Year's coming to America!
Vising Salt Lake City for the first time. 
After receiving my endownment at the temple in Logan, Utah.
Getting married for all eternity to my sweetheart!
Forever and ever! I'd go any distance to be with the man I love!
In Florida enjoying one of the beauties to be in America...getting the stuff I love exactly when they're released! hahahaha
Another beauty...getting to know incredible artists like BEN HARPER!
No need for comments or explanation, getting to meet Hanson was definetely out of any plans I made for last year!
Let's see what this year surprises me with!
