So I finally got tagged! Thanks Kaylene! I kinda think these are fun, so here goes..... The rules of the game are posted at the beginning. Each player answers the questions about themselves. At the end of the post, the player tags 4 people and posts their names, then goes to their blog and leaves them a comment, letting them know that they are tagged.

What is his name: Samasoni H Steele
What is her name: Sara M Steele
How long have you been married? For a whopping 6 1/2 months and loving it!!!
How long did you date? Well, we dated from August '06 until March '07
How old is he? 30
How old is she? 23
Who eats more? Well, he is a big tuff poly boy who used to out eat anyone. Now I think he is getting older and it's harder for him to put food away! But it's a big competition when I'm starving!!!
Who said "I Love You" first? Not sure, but i bet it was me.
Who is smarter? Well, I think that besides my dad, Sam is the smartest guy I know. He knows alot about our religion and he is "street smart" from growing up in South Carolina. He was taking smart classes in school. He's especially great in math. One thing you guys probably dont know is that I write the blog and post it. He will come by a little bit later and re-read it and check all my spelling and all my punctuation marks and make sure I dont have run on sentences and everything. He is so cute!!
Who's temper is worse? Oh wow, that's a toss up. He says he used to have a really bad one when he was younger but I think he out grew it! I just still have a bad one. Usually I can't get him angry but the bad drivers can! If you knew his job and the kids he has to deal with, he is very calm.
Who does the laundry? It's usually me, but sometimes he will throw in a load if he needs something right away.
Who does the dishes? Well, usually it is me, but sometimes he will help out. We usually eat upstairs at my mom's since we have an apartment in her basement.
Who sleeps on the right side of the bed? If you are at the foot of the bed looking at it, then it is me. I always have to be on his left side he says. He sleeps better that way.
Who pays the bills? Well, usually he does. I get so absorbed in my job (watching my sister's kids) I never have time. He likes to do it anyway. He always has to know about our money and how much the bills are and everything. I just stay out of it.
Who cooks dinner? Well, we both do but it's a toss up. He cooks great poly food and I cook the American stuff. USUALLY my mom does!!! We love eating at moms!!
Who drives when you're together? Sam does. He doesn't think I'm a great driver and he thinks he's a professional one, which he usually is. Usually women drivers have no clue, (which I think is true) because they're either on the phone or not paying attention! So he drives and vents and I look out the window.
Who is more stubborn? ME!!!
Whos parents do you see most? Mine. We live downstairs from them and his family lives kinda far away.
Who proposed? Sam did. I told him early on in the relationship, "I'm going to marry you one day!" and he proposed on my birthday! Happy Birthday To Me!!!!
Who has more friends? Sam definitely does. He's very outgoing and loves to get anyone's phone number. He just sits and texts all his friends all day. I like to have friends but I think we're in a really strange time in our lives. Example, he's older and all his friends have kids. I'm a bit younger and my friends are just getting married, or are preg-o, and dont really want to hang out with people yet. You know the honeymoon stage. Maybe it's me that is in that, but I'm up to hang out with anyone. I love meeting new people and we would love to hang out with my friends from high school again.
Who has more siblings? Well, this is a tuff question. If you dont know, Sammy was adopted by a white family that was living in Samoa. (Where he was born) He was the 12 child born to his biological family and in his adopted family there is 2 brothers and 2 sisters. In my family there is 3 brothers and 2 sisters. He wins by alot!
Who wears the pants? I like to think we both have a leg in.
What's your most embarrassing moment? OH huh, I dont really know how to answer this because I'm such a klutz and stuff that I'm saying stuff embarrassing all day long. I'll have to ask my sister-in-law Angie because she likes to remind me of the embarrassing stuff I say and do.
Where were you 10 years ago? I was 13, almost 14, trying to get thru Jr. High.
What is a little known fact about me? Well, I've been thru a divorce and most people don't know that. I really know what I'm doing this time. (Wait does anyone know what they are doing when they get married?)
Do you have any OCD behaviors? I dont know. I would have to say yes with my shoes. They all have to be matched up and in order. My room can be a mess but never my shoes!
If I could change one thing in my life what would it be? I wish I could have just stayed in Arizona with my best friend Lindsey. She has been my bestest, ever bestest, friend my whole life. I have never found someone that had just as much loyalty to me as I did her. I love you Lindsey!
What makes me tick? Hum, probably Sam. I can't do anything without him. Also my niece and nephew that I nanny. I love them so much. They're my pride and joy and I love watching them learn and grow.
What is my biggest dream? I would say to raise all my kids in the LDS church with great morals. For them to be ambitious, love life and to be the best they can be. I dont have any kids yet, but that would be my biggest dream. Me and my husband would love to have enough money to retire and do fun stuff with our kids and grandkids like my parents do!
Do I have an order of things I have to do in the morning while I get ready? No not anymore. I used to in high school and when I had a real job. Now that I nanny I have to be to my sisters at about 6 am. So no. I throw on a jacket and get my glasses and slippers and I'm out the door!!
Which of your friends blog is your favorite to read? I love reading Sam's cousin Jenni's prego blog and his other cousin Kristi and sister-in-law Kaylene(Their kids are so dang cute. Check out their blog) I check my BFF, Lindsey, in AZ, everyday. She hardly ever updates it though. LOL
What is the stupidest thing I've ever said? Well, let me see, I do this daily. I'll just name a few. I have a hard time speaking and I mix up all my letters. Instead of saying, 'door handle' I've said, 'hoor dandle' and 'coller roaster' instead of 'roller coaster'. Stuff like that. My brother and his wife Angie just egg me on. I've been known to say, "Why do I always have to be the idiot?", when Rich and Angie are making fun of me and calling me an idiot. While riding in a car, I've been squished between my chair and the chair in front of me. It was smashing my glasses to my face and someone rolled down the window to show all the other drivers what was going on. I was just yelling, "My glasses! My glasses!" because I didnt want them to break. One of the guys, in the car next to us, was laughing so hard he had to roll up his window. That's just a peek into my life.
Who is more of a baby when they are sick? Um, I dont think either Sam nor I, we both can handle our own! Since I seriously have the worst immune system ever, I'm sick all the time. Just see previous blogs. I've been sick now for a month and a half straight!
What 5 things would I do if I were a billionaire!??
1. Get out of debt
2. Take a LONG cruise and pay for all my family and friends to come too. I'll hire nannys for them to bring also to watch there kids.
3. Sam and I take our very own vacation to all the hot spots in the world.
4. Buy a plane and a pilot so I can fly where ever I want, whenever I want.
5. Open up a retirement and school fund for my kids and my nieces and nephews.
Three bad habits:
1. I stare! It's probably an uncomfortable stare, but I just like to stare and really remember faces. Since I have a really bad memory, I like to know for sure specific things like their eye color or freckles or their feet, I know I know, I'm weird.
2. I spend too much time on this computer.
3. I take naps daily and I'm not even prego.! I just love my sleep!!!
Five places i've lived:
1. Mesa, Arizona! yay!!!
2. Salt Lake City, Utah (Growing up)
3. Sandy, Utah (With a room mate. Didn't get along so....)
4. Sandy, Utah (By myself and I LOVED IT!!!
5. Salt Lake City, Utah (Married)
Five job's I've had:
1. Honey Baked Ham
2. Training Table
3. Dr. Haupt's Office (A plastic surgeon where I got certified as a Laser Hair Removal Tech)
4. Marriott Rewards (Don't ever ever work there, ever!)
5. Nanny for my sister
5 1/2. Nails (I went to school to do nails, like acrylic nails and pedi's and stuff, but I just did that so I could have a job for extra money when we have kids. I just do it out of my house now, for friends and family, but I may go part-time to a salon for the summer. We'll see!!)

If you got to the end of my tag, then i tag.... Kristi(Sam's cousin), Traci Curtis, Rachel(My sister) and my hubby Sam. Anyone else who wants to can also. Have fun.

Passports

Ok, So Sam and I went near the beginning of the year to get our passports. I just needed to do a name change and he needed to get a whole new one. Mine was finished first and came in the mail in about 3 weeks, end of January. Sam's would take longer. We got a letter in the mail saying something was wrong with his passport and that we needed to call in and fix it. Now mind you, we did this at the end of January which was about the time I had recieved my passport. We had called every week to find out if they were processing it and all they could say was that they didn't know that information at that time. As of right now, we're leaving for Cancun in about 14 or so days. So we, Sara, started to stress. This past Sunday Sammy was on a transport. We had called the passport place before he left and spoke with a very UNhelpful lady who could only say, "I'm sorry, I don't really know what is going on with it." I decided to fast and pray this past Sunday and just today, not even a week later, his passport came in the mail! I was so overjoyed! I fell to my knees in the family room and offered our thanks. Obviously without this passport we would not be able to go to Cancun. Most of our flights down there are for free, since Sammy has a bunch of Skymiles and my parents got the hotel for us. We are using some of Sammy's Marriott Reward Points, that he has accrued for traveling, and on the way back we are staying with his Uncle Kevin and Aunt Ellen. We are so excited because most of this trip is free, AND its our honeymoon! I've been so excited to go and with this passport thing, I thought we might of had to end up staying in California or I might have had to go to Cancun by myself!! Our tickets from LA to Cancun were 700 dollars NON REFUNDABLE!!! That was really stressfull. Anyway, his passport finally came today so it is definitely a GO!!! I'm even more excited now!!!

Again!!!

Yes, sick again! Sick now with what I think is either a sinus infection or with strep. I dont know at this point, just all achey and sore throat. Still have to nanny and babysit the kids in the neighborhood. Last night Sammy and I had to babysit the neighbors across the street. They have 3 girls and we watched them while the parents went to the Jazz game. It was time for all the girls to go to sleep so I took care of the baby upstairs and sent Sammy downstairs to put the other two to bed. I was trying to put the baby to bed and she was almost asleep. I could hear the other 2 girls screaming and Sammy was playing with them and getting them all wild up so they would have a harder time to fall asleep! I put the baby in the bed but she woke up and started to cry because the girls woke her up with the screaming! Does anyone else's husband do that? When you are trying to put kids to bed they go right behind you and get them all wild up again! GRRR! Then all the kids were all awake and just wanting to play! All this while I had a fever and was feeling so sick.(Venting) The parents came home and asked if we felt like teenagers again babysitting. I laughed and said we were just makin' out on the couch before they walked in!

I Bet You're Getting Older

I was watching the kids today and was going downstairs (which is our house, since we live in the basement of my parents). Kaylee was sitting on the stairs and I tried to go around her. I jacked my hip on the banister and was like, "Oh oww!" I guess Kaylee didn't see me hit my hip on the banister cause when she saw me holding my hip she said, "Oh Sara, I bet your getting older!" I said, "Oh sad Kaylee! No, I just hit my hip on the corner of the banister." She started laughing!! HOW SAD!!!

Shout Out

We've done a little change to our blog!! Yeah!! My brotha Kevin is a computer genius! He helped me on widening our sidebar and changing our background without losing all our data. I don't even know what that means but we appreciate him and his skills. Thanx bro!

Random thoughts

I was blog hopping, come on everyone does it, but I was looking on my sister's in-law's and they had this blog that they said you should really read! So, I was looking into it and I seriously sat here all night reading this blog and just crying. It is so sad. It is about a family who's dad had Melanoma Cancer. Anyway this is the blog www.brycedbrown.com. It just really touched me, especially since I was thinking I needed to start going to a tanning bed to get a base tan for cancun, so I dont get fried! After reading that blog, I kinda lost interest. I am just so heartbroken for this family and I'm sure they didn't even know I looked at there blog. It's out there for everyone to look at, so if you have time on your hands and you are blog hoppin', then just take a look.

A little spin off on the random blog hoppin thing, we love people looking at our blog, we really don't mind. We would love to look at yours as well, so please leave us a comment and your blog site so we can take a look. AND if you will notice it's almost mine and Sam's birthday!! We're just 6 days apart, so feel free to leave us presents on our blog. Kind of a funny thing to see who leaves us what. Even if you dont know us, just leave one.

But seriously everyone, please wear sunscreen this summer and be so careful!! Give up those tanning beds, pasty can look and sounds better then being tan in a casket.
Everyone take care. Tofa soifua!

ZOO

Ok, so the kids I nanny and I are having really bad cabin fever! We were so ready to get out of the house so I took the kids to the zoo! Thank you Rachel for having a zoo pass! It was so much fun. The Utah Zoo doesn't really have very many animals, but it does have this one aligator (or crocodille who can really tell the difference) but it is all white and they call the thing the 'Ghost of the Bayu'. So here is some pictures of Kaylee by the Ghost.

The kids just having fun by this ball that rotates in water. Ususally kids are all around the ball trying to get it to stop spinning and that is what Kaylee is doing. Taylor is pointing to a bird.

Valentines

These are the flowers Sammy sent me for Valentines Day! He was gone on a transport to North Carolina and I had to stay home and nanny. Thats okay, he was earning us money for CANCUN!! He also got me some chocolate covered strawberries. They are so delicious. I got him a massage, but once he stays home for more the 24 hours, he can get that. I think we are really going to have to celebrate it this weekend, where he can take me out for dinner! Since my parents are out of town, in New York (they left Valentines morning and wont be back till Monday) it is just me and grandma! I just want to say I love my Sammy and everything he does for us!

Sick

Everyone is sick. I mean everyone! Sam, me, Mom, Dad, Beka, Spencer, Grandma, Rachel, Kaylee and Taylor. We all have like a croupy cough, and Rachel and Grandma have flu like symptoms. So that is bad, if grandma is getting sick. Sara's Mom and Dad are leaving on valentines day to go to new york, for Beka's 16 birthday, but no one will enjoy it if they're all sick!!! And my mom will really not enjoy it if grandma is sick. Especially with flu like symptoms. I hope that everyone else is well and happy!!

Transports

As some of you may know, Sammy works for a transporting company.  He transports troubled teens. So parents call his company and ask them to come out and get there kid out of the house.  Most of these kids he picks up from out of state and usually brings them back to programs here in Utah.  There is probably about 50 plus programs just in Utah.  There's a law here in Utah that says minors have to go to a facility.  Other states say that the kid has to consent, but not in Utah, they HAVE to go.  So he just picks them up and takes them to these programs.  What kind you ask?  Well, they are usually wilderness programs for kids that are into drugs, alcohol, sex, breaking laws, not going to school, stuff like that.  Sometimes they are dangerous pick ups but Sammy always goes out with another partner so they can handle their own.  So I'm keeping a log on the side if you want to know where has been. And if there is any interesting stories, which there ALWAYS is, you can check out where he's been.  His company is now starting to do international ones, so he may go back to Samoa (where he's from) or to places like the Philippines or Korea stuff like that.  Kinda cool!

Nanny

As most of you know I nanny Rachel's (my sister) 2 kids for my job.  I do it from usually 630 am until 5ish pm.  So i do breakfast, lunch, pre-school, naps, diaper changes... I have a lot of mommy experience!!  Respect to you mothers!  Today i was feeding Taylor, who is 18 months, breakfast and had gotten him out of his high chair.  As I was washing his hands in the sink, Kaylee (who is 4) looks on the ground and says "Sara, what's that on the floor?"  I looked over and it was poop!  Taylor had pooped while in the high chair and when I lifted him up, it fell out of his diaper.  IT was bad and I almost stepped in it,  so i just skipped the sink and i took him straight to the bath!  Gotta love kids!!!!  AND of course Kaylee didn't help me pick it up!! LOL

Yesterday I had them, and had gotten the worst migraine. (I think from not eating)  I was excited to give them back to there dad, and then went home to go take a nap from 530 until I woke up, which was 9.  It was so late and I still didn't feel well so I just went back to sleep and woke up at 6 this morning!  This time I was actually refreshed!

love songs

My sister-in-law, Angie, is putting together a wedding video of our wedding.  If anyone has any love songs that they truly love, I wouldn't mind you posting it.  We need to find like 20 or so love songs and I would love to hear what you guys have in mind.

superbowl

We went for the NY Giants.  We are sick of the Patriots winning all the time and Sam thinks they're cheaters anyway. We had a party at my mom's with lots of food, and lots of people.  Sam has a buddy who owns a Gandolfo's (sub sandwich place) and we ordered a 6 footer club sandwich.  Mmmmm!!  We also had little smokies in bbq sauce, deviled eggs, bean dip platter, veggie platter, shrimp platter, artichoke dip, salsa, mountains of chips and a never ending supply of drinks.  Mom made a great chocolate bundt cake.  We had so much fun and hope everyone had a fun Super Bowl party!! 

PAINTING! UGH!

We've been painting in our house, just the ceiling. Mom, Dad, Spencer, Richie, (brothers) Beka, (sister) Sam and I were all painting. We are so sore and I never ever want to paint again.  I'm so glad that painting isn't my job.  No offense to those who are just respect!!  It was fun to just be together with some of my brothers and sisters, we had a good time, even if we were painting all day.
