5 Bucks if You Leave a Comment

First of all, thanks to everyone for paying up after reading our last post - we raked in a total of 220 smackers. Unfortunately only 3 people made comments - BORING. For the three of you who left comments we have prizes for you - and they're dang good - so come over and pick them up at your leisure.

Ok - now we are required by Katie to write about something cool that has happened in our life. So here it is - we went to the car show this week and we purchased "the world's most absorbent chamois." These babies are sweet - they can hold up to 3 gallons of liquid and they are guaranteed for life.*

Since our last post we also purchased an additional dance pad for Dance Dance Revolution and we have dance-offs (more commonly known as "Dance Offs Pants Offs") every Wednesday night at our house.**

Now for the good stuff - we've decided to start paying people to leave comments on our blog. So, with that in mind we are going to pay everyone who leaves a comment on this post $5. No catches, no gimmicks, no kidding - we'll pay you $5 if you leave a comment.***

Finally, if you leave a comment that is really cool we will bring you back a souvenir from our cruise that we're going on in a few weeks.****

So there you have it - comment about whatever you'd like - but make it good. God speed.

* Does not actually hold 3 gallons of anything and is not guaranteed for life.
** Actual dates and times for Dance Offs Pants Offs may change without notice.
*** Your comment has to be good or it doesn't count.
**** We reserve the right to not bring you back anything at all if we don't feel like it.

blogging for extra cash

Thanks to both of our families for the great Christmas this year. We had an awesome time having sleepovers, taking family pictures, eating, going to concerts, and just spending time together. It was a lot of fun and we are already excited for next year! We got an very nice freezer (which we've since filled with frozen goods from Costco), an amazing Blendtec (which really does blend anything - in fact, we even blended our old blender), and a dang cool firepit for our out of doors BBQs.

We also just celebrated our second anniversary-time flies when you're having fun like we are!

Now, down to business - basically we didn't make any money off our blog last year so we're going to start charging people to read this. If you've read this much you owe us five bucks. If you continue to read this and get to the end you will owe us even more dough. So you decide what you want to do - but you better be ready to fork it over.

Here's a list of what we gave each other for Christmas:

1. A 10 night Asian cruise (Kate gave to Justin)
2. A new 2008 Range Rover (Justin gave to Kate)
3. 40 acres of land near Brian Head for our new cabin (Justin gave to Kate)
4. A new parking slip in Nassau for our boat (Kate gave to Justin)
5. New wakeboards (we gave to each other)
6. New skis (we gave to each other)
7. New snowboards (we gave to each other)
8. New drums (Kate gave to Justin)
9. A new piano (Justin gave to Kate)
10. New slippers (Justin gave to Kate)

If you read that list you owe us fifteen bucks.

Now, we're going to spotlight someone in our blog. This is a new year's revolution for us and we are going to spotlight someone new in each blog entry. If we spotlight you, you owe us fifty bucks.

This week's spotlight is: Mom and Dad (Crockett and Gough). Pay up.

Finally, we will be having a DDR (Dance Dance Revolution) praty (that's right - praty, not party) at our house. Everyone is invited - except for some of you - and you know who you are. If you come to the DDR praty you better be prepared to dance against Kate in the final round because she is dang good. She can dance on expert on every single song and get A's. And if you read that you owe us ten more bucks.

For those of you who are still reading, you each owe us a total of thirty dollars -- unless you are Mom and Dad - then you owe us eighty bucks (each). That new Range Rover didn't pay for itself, so cough it up.
