Today my "little" sister Robyn ran her very first 1/2 marathon. She looked so cute in her outfit and it was FREEZING cold. The race started at 7:00AM. We were there with her at the beginning and saw her start the race. Then we went to Ihop and had breakfast (it was disgusting) but fun to visit with everyone. Robyn's husband Jeff and cousin Jeffery were there, along with me, and my mom and dad. We went back to the finish line and waited for her to cross. There were so many people that I was afraid that I wouldn't see her when she crossed. So, I went past the metal fence where I wasn't suppose to go. I snuck past all the race people so I could get up close to the finish line and get a good picture of her crossing. She did so good. She finished in 2 hours 2 minutes and 58 seconds. She was 32nd place for her age range. GO ROBYN!!! I'm so proud of you and all of your heard work.Chad and Luxhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10024912621186492753noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4561077938117574956.post-22978725840248005622012-02-21T15:56:00.003-08:002012-02-21T16:01:35.292-08:00Home Made Chips<div style="text-align: center;">I LOVE THESE. </div><div style="text-align: center;">I've been addicted to making my own tortilla chips lately.

I know who they are in my dream, I just never see faces on people. I've asked others and I guess I'm just the odd ball because it seems that everyone else dreams of people with faces.</div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhy0y5JM5u1nfBgtKBx8_wcu95VxHBiKX7_0e3f_HH1-JaObx1W7I8e13TdLo7X8D3-QTrJ0Pnc6ALFQ6gFfb6N4fuj-3qRPzzF5zU-oC4Ggbd_Oxv109MsEQTc6OxMefkF4YcDkFx1FIY/s400/IMG_9216_222.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5672389657724974578" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 351px; " /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><br /></span></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>I've never realized it until now because I had an amazing dream the other night and I saw a face for the first time in my dream. It was so clear and beautiful. It was the face of our daughter, that's right I said daughter. I've always had this perfect image of what my family would look like one day. I've always thought I would have 4 boys. Well lately I've been having several different dreams that Chad and I have a daughter. Her name starts with an "A" but I can't ever remember what it is when I wake up. I've seen her at all stages of life, from an infant to a beautiful adult. It's crazy but I just know somehow that we are going to have a little girl in our life one day. In my dream the other night I saw her face for the first time. She had beautiful blue eyes and a dimple on one side of her face (like chad) and a pointy little chin. It was the most beautiful thing I've ever seen and words can't describe the feelings I felt when I saw her. </div><div>I hope that one day Chad and I can welcome this beautiful little girl into our lives, either through adoption or through our own pregnancy. She was such a beautiful little miracle and I hope to see more of her in my dreams. Anyway, just thought I'd share this rare (at least to me) and beautiful experience with you. </div><div>To this day I still don't see people's faces in my dreams, I don't know what it means but I've started to pay more attention to my dreams and still there are no faces. </div><div>Do you see faces in your dreams?</div>Chad and Luxhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10024912621186492753noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4561077938117574956.post-12488068149834122522011-10-10T13:47:00.000-07:002011-11-07T13:57:15.043-08:00Two Years and getting Better<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmm4nTQ4jWNIqUdWdPzGuJWvrpEOrpCAu4YoTirM-5QB_D2Y01t_bxFtcuRqdxVl5YXxZqvzE-7F8gvQalrU_xH8xRN4u3jJXz9wNI2P_Xu90nUDQ3b70VNIx1mtsEw8j0I5jT4wFsTx4/s1600/Picture+9.png" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 283px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmm4nTQ4jWNIqUdWdPzGuJWvrpEOrpCAu4YoTirM-5QB_D2Y01t_bxFtcuRqdxVl5YXxZqvzE-7F8gvQalrU_xH8xRN4u3jJXz9wNI2P_Xu90nUDQ3b70VNIx1mtsEw8j0I5jT4wFsTx4/s400/Picture+9.png" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5672374934844180370" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdRTcqceEJ4izIhaW_m9I7GEULC_uAHuJJneoeckh8jKGipXUL1qVx0XIP50nlqLhOVqLAdvzn2EXt8pke1vrZFoYAorHoWxGAjGoAJYbXTtskeRGibFIfN2w710iy26n8YmAtSeKIcvE/s1600/Picture+5.png" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 299px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdRTcqceEJ4izIhaW_m9I7GEULC_uAHuJJneoeckh8jKGipXUL1qVx0XIP50nlqLhOVqLAdvzn2EXt8pke1vrZFoYAorHoWxGAjGoAJYbXTtskeRGibFIfN2w710iy26n8YmAtSeKIcvE/s400/Picture+5.png" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5672374929912343362" /></a><br />Two years ago today was the best ever. I was able to enter the house of the Lord and commit to my husband and my God for time and all eternity. What a tremendous amount of blessings that day has brought to our lives. I am so grateful that Chad and I are a family forever. I look forward to the day when we are able to adopt children of our own so that we may take them to the temple and be sealed to them also. I can't wait to teach my children about the temple and all of the blessings that can come to them if they life righteously and make themselves worthy to enter the House of the Lord. I am so excited for those moments to come with my children and for now am extremely blessed to have Chad in my life.Chad and Luxhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10024912621186492753noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4561077938117574956.post-46253031999450250962011-09-25T22:06:00.000-07:002012-02-17T22:18:05.862-08:00Girls just wanna have FUN!<div style="text-align: center;">My Mom and my Niece came over this weekend and we had such a blast.

<br /></div>Today I had a HORRIBLE day at work. I hate my job and don't care much for the people who work there either. However, for now it's a source of income that we rely on, so until I find something else I will have to tolerate it. Well I just had the worst day ever at work and came home nearly in tears (as I often do because I hate it so bad). When I got home I found little surprises all around the house. See while I was busy at work all day, my wonderful hubby had taken care of the dogs, cleaned the whole house, had all the laundry done (yes he does these things on a regular basis) and had gone to the store and bought me little goodies and surprises. Then he hid them all over the house for me to find. It made my day so much better and I love him so much for thinking of me like that. What a wonderful surprise, not to mention my house is clean now and the laundry is done. What a lucky girl I am.<div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpvREFKG8jFirYZw4VOYfWNDY1TP0enVt9DgOQF4yyZDetdarE_InkFQ0FHwMKz9ENpI3kvXgraYq0Iqazqcggc9BiIae5pdp9_8nSf5rON_QUXTHOCe_BZAWeyn2Pyo4Mu7n3xRhLGCI/s400/IMG_1757.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5643339540406911346" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 228px; " /></span></div><div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#0000ee;">

<br /></div>
<br />So our new little guy has decided that he gets to sleep wherever he wants. Most of the time he picks daddy's neck to sleep on. It's cute and the best part is that Chad doesn't seem to mind too much. It's cute because I'll move him several times during the night to his own bed, but he always seems to find his way back to cuddle. I love it.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoctoD3a9Ii3GQfZ7sk2Y1GRP5yW6fNydJEaeMSExCT8lOPN1L6LXNpvcsM_OdnHpGa2J4e0UGWafBAocZa4TLcqyjewrgmCKROQpvU78HkGBBAW4VdI8BMoxNjec5YjoCD-uAzw0sQVA/s1600/IMG_0063.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoctoD3a9Ii3GQfZ7sk2Y1GRP5yW6fNydJEaeMSExCT8lOPN1L6LXNpvcsM_OdnHpGa2J4e0UGWafBAocZa4TLcqyjewrgmCKROQpvU78HkGBBAW4VdI8BMoxNjec5YjoCD-uAzw0sQVA/s400/IMG_0063.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5638687238015736706" /></a>

So they will play a little bit and then rest together but they are always together now and this makes me a happy girl. Here are some pics from this week.

I was feeling all bummed out and really sad today because we had to return Finlly yesterday. I was and still am worried for her because I don't think her previous owners treated her well. It's out of my hands now and there isn't anything I can do but pray that she is taken care of.</div><div>Today Chad saw how upset I was with everything and he surprised me with this wonderful little guy. We saw him and instantly fell in love. I was hesitant to go meet the dog but Chad talked me into just going and looking at the dog. I agreed and well, the second Chad saw him he fell in love.</div><div>Just between you and me I got a little choked up when they handed Chad the new puppy and I saw how happy he was with the little guy. I haven't seen Him so happy in a while. I just had to say yes. (For those of you who don't know, Chad and I are not able to have children of our own so to see something like this bring such joy to Chad, I couldn't say no). So please say hello and welcome to our family <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:130%;color:#cc0000;"><b>Hurly</b></span> (like the big fluffy guy from LOST) <b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:130%;color:#cc0000;">Prancer</span></b> (the name previously given to him by the wonderful family who gave him to us) <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#cc0000;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:130%;"><b>Lloyd</b></span> </span>(our last name of course). We are so happy to welcome this little guy to our family, he fits right in and in case you couldn't tell, he totally looks like he is related.

We were heartbroken, literally. So we gathered her things and returned her to the previous owner. I am worried for her because I think she was abused, but what can we do? With heavy hearts we returned her and can only hope for the best in her future. So today was not such a good day. Now the house is quiet and back to just Chad, Folesome and I. Hopefully not for long.Chad and Luxhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10024912621186492753noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4561077938117574956.post-35454529718388760112011-07-23T13:58:00.000-07:002011-11-07T14:06:00.341-08:00Marriage<div>Today my brother married his long time girlfriend Martha.

We have some friends and family members that also got season passes so we have been looking forward to going with them. This week I was able to go with my sister and her kids. It was so much fun. I mostly rode the kiddie rides with Brynne, she was my buddy all day and we had so much fun. Here are some pictures from the day.

This is Finlley Roo Lloyd. She is a 8 month old schnauzer and so full of energy. She belonged to our next door neighbor's sister and last week the sister called our neighbor and told him to come get her or she would be taking the dog to the vet to be put to sleep (very sad). She told him that she would rather the dog be put to sleep than to have it go to a home where it might be abused. <div>Anyway, Chad and I saw her and fell in love right away. Folesome loves her too. So we talked to our neighbors and asked if she could be an addition to our family. They said yes and we adopted her today!! YAY! We are having such a good time with her and love having her in our family.</div>Chad and Luxhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10024912621186492753noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4561077938117574956.post-82908320843959115752011-06-28T19:54:00.000-07:002011-06-28T20:32:22.464-07:00Proud Auntie<div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div>I can not say it enough, I am one proud Aunt.

<br />So at the end of a hard day I am guilty of wanting to take a hot bath by candle light and listen to piano music. Today was no different. I took my bath, listened to my music and washed the worries of the day away. When I was getting out of the tub and drying off, my towel hit one of the freshly blown out candles and knocked it over onto my ipod. Wax was everywhere, but mostly all over my ipod. I was so worried it was ruined, but all is well. I have learned my lesson now though, keep my ipod away from candles.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5oE2axiR_5C_Uw9X-B8lLH_w_eMUUJMciirkzARQTrQV6KU9Y_kkgae4CC8n7ya45gxdBhlnOXONZ0y_Kh4rlJoK0V1EzvW8iKVoeClurPH3BKWpONVOrk8_vyMJFH7sgsU7J6ig5bFE/s1600/IMG_0486.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5oE2axiR_5C_Uw9X-B8lLH_w_eMUUJMciirkzARQTrQV6KU9Y_kkgae4CC8n7ya45gxdBhlnOXONZ0y_Kh4rlJoK0V1EzvW8iKVoeClurPH3BKWpONVOrk8_vyMJFH7sgsU7J6ig5bFE/s400/IMG_0486.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5643373085864300898" /></a>

Kind of<div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><br />So we started a remodel project this summer. We currently live in a 1 bedroom loft town home. Since our plan is to adopt children we want a house that has plenty of room for little ones. So we are going to remodel our house to be a 3 bedroom home. Here is the project as we are starting. Hopefully this project won't take too long and we will soon be a step closer to making our dream of a little family come true.

Im doing really well with it. Since I've started just 5 weeks ago I've lost 26lbs and have gone from a pant size 20 pant to wearing a size 14. I know I know that may not really be a big deal to some but to me that is HUGE. I'm finally starting to like the way my body is looking again. I am able to fin into a lot of my older clothes. I am replacing 2 meals a day with an amazingly delicious drink. Then I'm fee to eat whatever I choose for my 3rd meal of the day. That's right ladies, no starving myself with only an alloted amount of calories, no giving myself shots, and no spending hour upon hour working out in a gym. I simply replace 2 of my meals a day and eat healthy. In fact, I really don't exercise at all which makes this program work for me. <div>I recently cleaned out my pantry of all junk food and unhealthy snacks, just to keep myself from being tempted. I replaced all of my junk food and snacks with my drink mixes and healthy chocolates. I'm so excited about the changes that my body is going through. My husband is also in this same program and my oh my is he looking sexy these days. I'm definitely enjoying the side effects of eating healthy. </div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhn6N0jLqbBMu4VLhQN5PjCCvm-7G7PCtAGHCxasjxZmy4LOF9XlV4itgG-wqK95LlYI9jpa2THL6fa4Vh901L7tGHMKw833-H55VSlIbO1u7T6SAAvS0zxpdtYRcrUa1cFrcGONSnbP8Q/s400/IMG_8726.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5601167121063171218" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 267px; height: 400px; " /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiiujjQ6ETuTaMF4LivfmIDIuKIyzpT2p6EQFtQQx_iz5DsdSw7hQ5CEooBfym65bBGNcDy3Lwik28wv5l72x0_-OmCR4wrCzEQf0jEeomg99Py8i5RANpmpjVtR_Ju5i5Zt7ReCSl_eeU/s400/IMG_8737.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5601167129338207122" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 267px; " /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><br /></span></div>Chad and Luxhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10024912621186492753noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4561077938117574956.post-65311081171559070262011-04-25T16:24:00.000-07:002011-04-29T16:37:40.957-07:00Banana Bread<div style="text-align: center;">So I've had a few bunches of bananas from my bountiful basket that I can't eat fast enough so I decided to try my hand and making bread.

I've been really busy with a lot of things but I just wanted to stop by and let those of you who actually read this blog (Mom, Dad and Brig, Chels, Nate and the Horn family) to know that I am in fact still alive and well. <div>In the last little while since you have heard from me I have been working at a new job (just temporary) I work for my neighbor who owns a few Blimpie stores and I'm working there until I can start my new job working for a Dr.'s office in Riverton. </div><div>I bought a new car... Well a new car to me. Chad and I were able to purchase my Grandma's old car. That's right, I am the proud owner of a 1991 Mercury Grand Marquis (pics to come). Oh yeah baby, I have arrived. lol It's a real smooth ride and has very low mileage because it has pretty much sat untouched for the last 1o years. Also the biggest perk is that the cops don't even THINK about pulling me over for speeding (the speedometer only goes to 85mph).</div><div><br /></div><div>I am still waiting to go golfing for the first time because the as you all know mother nature can't make up her mind if she wants to start spring or have a 2nd winter this year. I swear I was wearing shorts one day and then the very next day my car was buried and the trees were touching the ground because the snow was so heavy. </div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPJDNMhvHKzmnmmwasnI2oYhLO_9H-S7h8BpBzORu3D6KA_nCeLjJ6MTztn9q6w3jZd9Q3o7OlGK5B2XcplAKQNNiJYqOHMWW2ye2uImgGYzKENIKWQpzOnnDqsFQnHoc-3g9Z_MbCOGI/s320/IMG_8647.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5595309351598572754" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px; " /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><br /></span></div><div>But I do have to admit, I do love the beautiful photo opportunities that the snowy mountains bring.

My nephews Gandon and Braden just had their Blue and Gold banquet a few weeks ago. I'm so very proud of these young men for being in the scouting program. They have been working so hard to get their merit badges and I'm proud of both of them. Gandon was able to get his bear while at the banquet. He had been working very hard and even had help from Chad and I the week before. I was honored to be invited to be a part of this special night for them both. Thanks boys, I'm very proud of you. Keep up the good work.</div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEHgYWdnK__EKP8ggESBX-MTtUbkbsOW42MSzKnmPqbS3o1guKU7zDFicmhbHN4aHsu1TKsuCnXCFsOPsxzKsHa9MOlO_ehDfJbCpyOSSJAFdKyCnFYXI5cAbbBOGdI79F4mjBLXpA2xo/s1600/IMG_8348.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 325px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEHgYWdnK__EKP8ggESBX-MTtUbkbsOW42MSzKnmPqbS3o1guKU7zDFicmhbHN4aHsu1TKsuCnXCFsOPsxzKsHa9MOlO_ehDfJbCpyOSSJAFdKyCnFYXI5cAbbBOGdI79F4mjBLXpA2xo/s400/IMG_8348.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5601174480716173122" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9Aj5O5E8pAHtAvHJqrm0F8Hjru07nNqh1sm9oX_7A3am0hm1_wQjcRmBFWYEkrJASsjBbv9O1ZHi_j71y68nbJyp-9XPXIpUC4Rj8df8kEpPbx7PZy-DqzyFXkXSo5lg2f7SW_rk6e-M/s1600/IMG_8351.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 138px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9Aj5O5E8pAHtAvHJqrm0F8Hjru07nNqh1sm9oX_7A3am0hm1_wQjcRmBFWYEkrJASsjBbv9O1ZHi_j71y68nbJyp-9XPXIpUC4Rj8df8kEpPbx7PZy-DqzyFXkXSo5lg2f7SW_rk6e-M/s400/IMG_8351.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5601174472400473458" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimWj_1eMrV1G30Vukj_xyf6XfdUgGt8kvb2PtTXAEnBZNPJbhkj3IwZ6L-d581B21Z8H_j2YUH4MlFkmxXXdy6rNCmZPotZLNCEq95X9RhasQ6-_GWvcQ1ec0lA4izn9z1wYDtRMiiHO4/s1600/IMG_8361.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 267px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimWj_1eMrV1G30Vukj_xyf6XfdUgGt8kvb2PtTXAEnBZNPJbhkj3IwZ6L-d581B21Z8H_j2YUH4MlFkmxXXdy6rNCmZPotZLNCEq95X9RhasQ6-_GWvcQ1ec0lA4izn9z1wYDtRMiiHO4/s400/IMG_8361.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5601174469421625986" /></a>Chad and Luxhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10024912621186492753noreply@blogger.com0
