New Music I Heart <3
There are a couple of artists that I have run across in the last few weeks that I am really loving. The funny thing is, most of them I found off of television commercials. Sometimes you can find the greatest songs there. Here are a few of my favorites...
Forever Thursday
'How Can it Be'
I first heard this song on a JCPenny ad. I love the sound of the artists voice, and the song itself is very relaxing. You can check them out on Itunes or myspace. http://www.myspace.com/foreverthursdaymusic You can also find the video for this song on YouTube.
Also, check out these other artists on Itunes!

The Story Behind Melandy!
I got this off of my friend Brittany's blog, she knows how much I love doing surveys so I decided to snag it and fill it out myself - enjoy!
1. Where did you meet your husband? Andy and I met in Nordstrom. I went with Greg and Allice to pick him up and that was the meeting point. It will forever be my favorite store,(for many reasons)ha. (He did add me as a friend on facebook prior to our meeting though).
2.What was the first thing you said to your husband? Probably something like, "Hi nice to meet you" I stuck out my hand for a shake but he went in for the hug.
3. Where was your first date? Hummm that's hard, Probably to a movie and dinner at the Cheesecake factory. I was SO exhausted that night. If you ask him, it might be the gym. That was the first time we spent time alone together.
4. Where was your first kiss? In a little play 'ground' near his parents house. We had gone on a walk, but we both knew what was coming. ha.
5. Did you have a long or short courtship/engagement? We got engaged at the beginning of March and married at the end of June...so about 3.5 to 4 months...so pretty short. Felt like forever though.
6. Where did you get engaged? Our apartment at Newport Village. It has been the site of two engagements. Ours and Greg and Allice's. Its a special place. He had a whole cute set up! With the help of Greg and Allice, there were candles everywhere and he had gotten my favorite sushi!
7. Where were you married? We were married in the Salt Lake City Temple. It was awesome, and such a beautiful day (kind of hot though).
8. . How was the reception? It was good. We had one in Idaho Falls the following day and then an open house in Carson City, NV in July. They were both wonderful. Thanks to the help of all our families.
9. How was the Honeymoon? It was the greatest time. Naturally. :) We spent our first two nights at a resort at Snowbird, it was beautiful! Then we went to a resort in Palm Springs, got to go to Disney land and a Dodgers game. Plus the beach. We had so much fun. Then the second week we were up at a resort in Napa Valley, and were able to go to San Fran a couple times, once even to see the Giants play the Dodgers. Andy loved that game! The Dodgers won by 9 points. Sweet Victory. Third week we spent in Carson City...since that's where our Open house was. :) Fun times.
10. Extra info..... Andy and I have only known each other for a year. I know it sounds crazy, but we are coming up on our year mark...and it has been the best year ever. I always said that I would date at least a year before thinking about marriage, but sometimes, as cliche as it is, you just know.
What's his name? Andrew Bryan Stockhoff
How long have you been together? One Year
How old is he? 25 this next week!
Who eats more? He does for sure, which I like.
Who said I love you first? He did, although I had to catch myself a couple times before from not saying it myself. Not that I wouldn't have, but it was nice to hear it from him first. sigh.
Who is taller? He is...by about 5 inches.
Who sings better? He does, he might deny it but its the truth.
Who is smarter? He is, no question.
Whose temper is worse? I don't think either of us have much of a temper.
Who does the laundry? Usually I do, but there have been times we have done it together. And sometimes he will fold.
Who does the dishes? Usually me, but again...he will load or unload sometimes. (I don't have a job, so its not like I have other things taking my time).
Who sleeps on the right side of the bed? He does, I like him to be closer to the door in case we have an intruder.
Who pays the bills? We both pay them. Andy is good at keeping track of the money though. I am not.
Who mows the lawn? Andy does, I think he likes it b/c its the husband thing to do :) I have attempted once but got so burnt out from doing the front yard I didn't even attempt the back. Too late now, its dead!
Who cooks dinner? I do on most occasions. Unless is Spaghetti, Andy likes to make the sauce.
Who drives when you are together? Andy, unless I am taking him to work.
Who is more stubborn? Me, by far.
Who is the first to admit their wrong? I would say we are pretty equal on this one, we will both admit it.
Whose parents do you see the most? Well we currently don't see either sets of parents. But over the course of the relationship, we have seen his more.
Who kissed whom first? He leaned in...but I was leaning myself.
Who asked whom out? Well if you count the gym as our first date then it was me, I invited him to come with me.
Who proposed? He did, it was the first and last time I have ever seen him choke up.
Who has more friends? I would probably say him. I have my closer friends...and then acquaintances.
Who is more sensitive? I would have to say me. I am a girl after all. Andy doesn't cry, I do all the time.
Who has more siblings? He does. 6 in his family only 4 in mine.
Who wears the pants in the family? We do equally, which I think is important. But I liked Brittany's answer...the Army wears the pants. So true.
Anyone who wants to add it to their blog, its fun!
