Officially a SINQUEFIELD

I guess yesterday was a good day to finally become a Sinquefield. It was 11-1-11 after all.... Jordan and I also kissed at 1:11. So we kissed on 11-1-11 at 1:11. GOOD DAY!

Halloween Party 2011

It was our 5th annual Halloween Party! We actually didn't do it last year ( I can't remember why!). I love Halloween and this years party was WAAAAYYYY too much fun!! Jordan & I were Buzz & Jessie from "Toy Story 2 & 3" I know what your thinking... shouldn't Jordan be Woody...NO. Woody and Bo-peep are boyfriend and girlfriend. Jessie and Buzz are the HOT item! RAWR!

The party was SO much fun! So many people I hadn't seen in SO long came and partied all night! Even a ton of new faces! It's always a joy to be walking through your home (my parents home) and run into someone and you have no idea who they are and they have no idea that it is your home. AWESOME!

We played the name game! I pinned villain names on everyones back, they could only ask yes or no questions to figure out who they were. No...they were not all Disney. The hardest one I had, who actually was on every top 5 villains of all time on EVERY website was.....The SHARK from JAWS! Another was Biff Tannen from Back to the future, I think i'm the only person in the world who knows who he is when I hear that name. We also played murder in the dark and sardines! A big hit at the party was the wii game "Just Dance" there was no one moment where no one was playing! WAYYYY toooooo much fun! Thank you to Annie (The minion on the left... genius costumes though.. right!?) for helping with the party! Thank you to those who came and we missed all those who could not make it!

Sorry to those who arrived after the group picture! I wish we would have done it later! We will do that NEXT YEAR!!

1 year down.... eternity to go!

We have been married for one year and one day!! I have the best husband in the world who surprised me with a wonderful 1st year getaway (I'm sure to make up for our first night as well). We stayed at the Park City Hotel! Our room was absolutely amazing! We even had our own hot tub! Once we got to our room Jordan said we had to leave for an appointment! He had booked us an hour couples massage, which was DELIGHTFUL and much needed! We ended the wonderful day with a steak dinner at Ruth Chris! BEST. DINNER. EVER! We were going to eat our wedding cake but we were just too full! So the next day we had fun sleeping in and hanging out together! When we checked out we went and did the alpine slide and the coaster! We had done that the day after our wedding too! We figured it might be a fun tradition! Once we picked up Pocket and got home we finally had our cake.. After a year of being in the freezer it's still good!

On my way ...

It's been 9 days since I told you my story. Since then I have lost 5 pounds! That may not be a lot but, it's a lot to me :). What I have been doing everyday is the Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred. It's only 20 minutes a day! Of course i'm watching what I eat as well. I would reccommend this video to anyone trying to loose weight. You for sure need to stick to it and give it your all! Videos are hard because there is no one really pushing you... You could slack off if you want. BUT serioiusly listening to what she says during the work out makes you want to give it your all! You may laugh but.. when you need any type of motivation... this gal is awesome. Also.. I head the saying from my friend Anisa "Nothing Tastes as Good as Skinny Feels". That saying has been helping me lots too :)

I have also started to dance again, which makes me the happiest person around! I LOVE dancing! I may not be the best at it but I can never get enough of it! Now that i'm starting my new job, hopefully I will be able to dance more! Like... possibly do Synergy :) I know it's a ways away... but, during the Halloween season you can see me and my zombie friends performing every Friday at Wheeler Farm :)

Time to get rid of this monster

Let's get serious...

All through High school until I was skinny. I have always been between a size 2-4. 120 pounds.

Long story short... I am now currently a size 12 and weigh over 160 pounds. That makes me sick to say and i'm embarrassed to say it. But, I feel like I need to say it. Now everyone knows. My secret is out (even though I am sure it's obvious to everyone)!Within 3 years I went from a size 4 to a size 12. I need to make this STOP!

I feel weight has never been a problem for me. But, It is now.

My life is spiraling downwards... I honestly do not fit into any of my clothes. I currently have a couple pairs of pants and shirts. I have also found myself in depression. I grew up with family members who have depression. I hate depression and tell myself everyday I don't have it. But, deep down I know I do. I try to hide it as well as I can... I have also found myself as a depressed eater (which does not help). I get depressed because I eat so much... so I eat. Don't worry... it doesn't make sense to me either. I also have been pulling myself away from my friends and family. I've missed important events in my their lives because I simply do not want to be seen. I miss everyone.

What is funny is in high school I was anorexic. I never ate. EVER. Just a little bit here and there...All within one week I had one of my good friends (who I don't even think knows this) tell me... "Denise, I can see your ribs. You are so freakin skinny!" That grossed me out a bit. I had seen women who were so skinny that they looked nasty. I thought to myself "do I look that skinny?" Two days later in school.... you know when the parents would come to your classes and there was a new topic every month like drinking... drugs.. well that day it happened to be on anorexia and bulimia. I found out that if you are a girl and stop eating, your period will stop and you will not be able to have kids.... For those who know me very well... I LOVE kids! Kids are my life! The one thing I look forward to in life is to have a child! That week I started eating and exercising... With help from my friend Sarah I was back on track...

So now i've been through it all ... i've been disgustingly skinny and now overweight. I want to be healthy and fit! Hopefully be able to fit back into all my old clothes! I've recently started tracking my food... The time I eat and how much. I want to focus on 3 healthy meals a day and less snacking! And of course drink lots and LOTS of water! I'm already on my 5th glass for the day and feeling great! I also have started new workouts that are kicking my butt! I can hardly lift my arms! But, things are looking up and I feel good!

Please know that I am so sorry if I have missed anything important in your life. I've been gone for a while but, I am coming back! I know it's a long process and I have to be patient. But, just know the old me is coming back!

Me now... I look bad but my friends Anisa and Ali look fantastic!

Here is a picture of me when I was coming out of annorexia...

Now lets have me meet somewhere in the middle :)

Vote 4 Us!

When Jord and I had a first night.. it was a mess! Stuff happened that should not have! Long story short.. I ended up going right to sleep... on my side of the bed... when we finally found a bed to sleep in!

SO I found a contest on facebook on thebrideandgroom.com's page! We had to enter a picture of us and they would pick their favorite top 10. Once they had their top 10, whoever gets the most "likes" wins a first night paid for!! I was so excited to find this because... for our first night re-do for our 1 year we want to do something nice to make up for the real first night. But, money is tight and right now it looks like it is going to happen in our apartment.. NOT what we have in mind! SO I messaged thebrideandgroom.com telling them our story and asking them if we could enter our picture... they said YES! AND we made the TOP 10!!

Please log onto your facebook page and vote for us!!

You need to "like" All points travel - utah AND thebrideandgroom.com FIRST.

THEN vote for our picture on BOTH pages! Vote on both and we get double the votes!!

Freaky Fridays

Almost time for Freaky Friday rehearsals to start up again! I'm so excited and can't wait. My two most favorite things in one! HALLOWEEN AND PERFORMING! I've been trying all I can to get Jordan to do it with me... He just keeps telling me "I'm thinking about it." We need more men in the group and I think he would be perfect! We'll see what happens though! If you know any guys who would be interested.. let me know! If you are ever interested in coming to a show.. It's every Friday evening in October at Wheeler Farm. It's a fantastic family show for a fantastic price1 I hope to see you all there!

Here is video I can't ever get enough of from SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE
