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.
