2 Years Down...... Forever to Go!

So as you may have guessed it was our 2 year anniversary on Friday the 19th! We decided to go stay at the anniversary inn on Thursday night and then go to St. George for friday and Saturday night. The anniversary inn was great! We stayed in the 49er room (bc it had a fireplace). We went out to dinner down town at Tucci's, and if you haven't been there in a long time like me then you would be suprised to hear that it has become a really nice formal restraunt, we had wine glasses and the manager came and spoke french to us and it actually reminded me of Macaronni Grill. It was lots of fun. We were then going to go see the lights at temple square but we chickened out cuz it was too cold and it was pretty late by the time we finished dinner. So we went back to anniversary inn and had a fabulous rest of the night. We woke up in the morning and had the best breakfast in bed ever and we were on our way out at about noon. Then to our dismay a terrible storm hit as most people know and we decided that we probably shouldn't drive down to St. George since it was supposedly worse down there then it was here. So we went Christmas shopping and more shopping and more shopping! What a fabulous anniversary for me! ......Jordan didn't really enjoy it though. We then went home and watched Maid in Manhattan and had a feast of hot dogs, nachos, burritos, bread with vinegar and oil to dip it in, and don't forget the fritos and bean dip. If you know me at all you know that I love to feast! So once again what a great anniversary for me! Saturday we woke up and layed around and then went into Salt Lake for some more shopping! We went to Jordan's parents house then shopping then we got Cafe Rio for dinner and went and ate it at my parents house. It was so much fun. . . .for me. I think that Jordan was kinda bummed out that we spent our anniversary like this but it was nice just to have the whole weekend off to spend with each other without other things planned that we needed to do. It is amazing that we have been together for 2 years already! It was such a great day and it has been such a great two years. I can't wait for the next year to come, who knows what will happen! I am so lucky that Jordan married me and that we are able to be together forever. I love him so much and he does so much for me and cares about me so much. I mean what other guy would take his wife shopping all day on their anniversary? Seriously he loves me too!

A Change of Scenery

As most of you probably already know I have taken a secretary position at the hospital. It is not really a change of scenery it is more a limited scenery now. It has some ups and downs to it. Some of the benefits would be that my body no longer hurts. I think I was getting worse and worse back pain every week but I am actually healing which is good. Another benefit would be I have alot more time on my hands to do homework, or read, or do projects. The one thing that I have been having the hardest with though is the sitting at my computer, at my desk for 12 hours! I am having a hard time adjusting to being in one spot and only getting up and walking once every few hours. I can feel the inches gaining on my butt. So here I am 4am blogging. I was reading a book but it was making me start to tear up so I had to stop reading before my waterworks came. I hope everyone's Thanksgiving was great. Ours was fabulous. We started off the day at noon with Jordan's family where we took family pictures and feasted prepared by the family and Shontelle. Thanks again Shontelle. We then proceeded to my family where we had another Thanksgiving feast prepared by Lisa. Thanks Lisa! It was all so good!!! I felt like I gained ten pounds that day. The next day though I got the flu! It was horrible and I threw my guts out for about three days. I think I lost all my Thanksgiving weight which was not neccessarily a bad thing. Jordan soon got the flu after me and then his whole family basically got it too. Sorry everyone! So after I finally got feeling better and had time between finals and work I finally put away my Halloween decorations and put up our Christmas ones. We got a Christmas tree and even put up lights last weekend. I will have to put some pictures on to prove it. So that is the update for right now. I hope everyone had as great a Thanksgiving as we did and I hope you all have a great Christmas!

Halloween Weekend!

For Halloween we had Jordan's family over for pizza and trick or treating and we had such a fun time. Kerryne and her kids are here from Cyprus now and they came and their costumes were so cute! Me and Jordan then dressed up as a Border Patrol and a Mexican and went to Barrett and Erin's Halloween party. It was alot of fun and it was so good to see everyone. On Saturday morning we went 4 wheeling with Shane and Rachael and had a blast. THe boys found a pond and alot of mud and had some fun in the mud. It was such a fun weekend we are so blessed to have a great family and great friends, and we got to spend the whole weekend together which rarely happens so it was so nice!

Halloween Pumpkin Carving Party!

We had everyone over on Saturday for pumpkin carving and it was so much fun. Thanks everyone for coming! Here are the fun pics from it. Enjoy!

Make Sure You Keep Your Reciets!

So a few days ago I stopped by Fed-Ex and explained that I wanted to have some labels made with my name and adress on them. I needed to send out wedding shower invitations for my soon to be sister-in-law's shower that next morning and didn't want to write my return address on them all. So the lady helping me get everything made up in the computer and informs me that they will not be done til late that night.(How long does it take to print one page of labels?) Anyways I said that I was just going to have to pick them up in the morning on my way in because I was not staying in Salt Lake that late. She then informs me that the total comes to $16.40! For one page of labels! Again I calmed myself and asked why. Well it cost 15.00 to make the program to print the labels and then 0.50 cents per page. She then tells me that she will give me the program so that if I ever need labels again I can bring in the CD and I won't have to pay the $15.00 again. This made me happy. She then asks me if I want to pay right now or when I pick them up. I agree to pay right now and pay with my Visa card. I signed on the machine and the receit printed with my huge scribbly signature on it. I laugh at it and go to the car to go home. The next morning I am driving in and I stop at the gas station to get a drink and doughnut for breakfast. I come back out to the car to realize that I have a missed call. It was from Fed-ex telling me that I have my printed labels ready for me to pick up. I then drive to the store and walk in. A middle-aged aggitated lady is behind the counter helping someone. When it is my turn I tell her that I have some labels to pick up under my name and the lady replies, "You were supposed to pick these up last night!" I explain to her that I was going to pick them up in the morning. She then says, "Well I called you this morning and you didn't answer your phone!" Seriously she has to be kidding.....nope! I tell her sorry I went into the gas station to get a drink. She then goes and gets my labels with a moody hugh. She brings them back and says, "Ok that will be $16.40." I explain to her that I already paid for them. She then says, "Well it doesn't say that you did" I say, "Um well I did pay for them", She says, "Well how do I know that cuz it says you didn't do you have your receit?", I am getting really frustrated by this time not only because it is early morning but I am dealing with some lady who must be going through metapose. So I say, "No I don't usually keep my receits and I sure know that I am not paying for this again!" She then decides to take things up with the manager and leaves, she comes back a few minutes later and says that they can look it up with the card I used so I explain that I used a Visa. She then leaves and 5 or so minutes she comes back and says, "We don't have any record of you paying for this", I then say that I will go check my car for the receit as a last chance. So I go to my car and by some miracle there is the receit in my cup holder! I take it in proudly and she says, "Honey that is not a receit that is a claim check!" Seriously I am about to rob the freakin store at this point! I say, "This is my receit! It has the amount and my freakin signature at the bottom!" She says, "Well how do I know that this isn't a fake receit?" Seriously? Like I have a little fake receit maker in my car? What the heck? So I say, "You know what take that up with your manager but I am taking my labels and leaving!" She then says hold on and goes back to the managers office. She then comes back and says, "Well I guess this is a real receit so you are free to go". I practically ran out the door. I was so frustrated. Anyways so 1st lesson: Don't wake up early in the morning and if you do don't try to do anything productive. 2nd Lesson: Don't go to Fed-ex on Friday mornings aroung 9am. 3rd Lesson: Keep all your receits!

Ter's Wedding/ Girls Night!!

SO Teresa is Married!! She got married on October 10th last friday and it was amazing. She looked so amazing. Then after the wedding Hayley, Julie and I went and stayed at the Hilton downtown for a girls night and then went to a session at the SLC Temple in the a.m. It was so fun. We decided to take a picture of us jumping in midair on the bed but it took many tries.....we decided to do this at about 2:30am and didn't wake up till 11:22am when our checkout time was noon! Luckily the cleaning lady was very nice and let us stay a few minutes late, her name was Shakika! Anyways here is some of our pics of us trying to jump on the bed and then finally getting it. There is also a pic of the temple. It was so amazing I am so glad that I had the opportunity to go!

Fast St. George Trip!

So 2 weekends ago Jordan and I decided at about 10pm on saturday night that we wanted to go to St. George. It was such a blast it was exactly what we needed. We both needed to get away. To our dismay it rained pretty much the whole time and that was sad but good thing that you can still shop in the rain! We also went to a movie too. Anyways since it wasn't pretty and perfect to take pics here are the only ones we took in the car on the way to the movie.

MY NEW WORKOUT!

I know I haven't updated my blog forever! But it will soon be coming as soon as I find time between school and work.......and I don't know when that will be. I hope you enjoy this as much as I did!

Lake Powell!!

We went to Lake Powell this past Thursday through Sunday and it was a blast.The crew that went was my mom and dad, Isaac, Jake, Niki, Jason, Luke, Dallin, and me and Jordan. I didn't take many pics cuz we were just skiing and wakeboarding the entire time. It was so much fun though! The video here is of my brother doing an awesome life threatning SUPERMAN on his wakeboard! You have to watch it! Its crazy. Thanks everyone for the trip it was awesome!

Good Job Mom and Dad!

My mom and dad ran the July 24th ksl marathon and they both finished! They did so good and it was fun cuz we got to see some old family friends too. My mom ran with Ellen and my Dad ran with Merilyn for half then he ran the rest with Niki and Jake. Good Job guys!

Wow it's been awhile

Well sorry I haven't blogged in quite a while but alot has gone on. I went to the American Idol concert with Rachael, Kara, and Amy thanks to my wonderful husband! He came home with 4 tickets to the concert and it was a blast. We thought that we ran into David Cook and when he finally turned around it was really David Osmound. Whoops! The concert was amazing though and we loved it. Thanks hun! Other than the American Idol concert we have been pretty busy. We went up to my cabin for a couple days to ride horses and spend time with family and that was a blast. I forgot my camera though so if you want to see pics of that log onto Heidi and Nick's page they have pics of it. Then we had the pleasure of taking care of 2 cute kittens until we found a home for them. Other than that we have been busy with work and trying to keep up with laundry :(

OUR SUPER DOOPER CALI TRIP!

Our trip to Cali was fabulous but we did have a few minor set backs. On the way down Jake and Ashley hit a deer in their truck and we had to spend basically 24 hrs in Cedar City and St. George between getting the rental car and waiting for the tow company to come unlock their gates so we could get our luggage out of the truck. Then we were on our way. When we got off the freeway in Cali we got rear ended and that sucked! The rest of the vacation was good though. Sunday we were at the beach. Monday we did Sea World with Hayley and Troy. Tuesday we went to the Zoo just me and Jord. Wednesday we went to Disneyland with Natalie and Scott. Thurs and Fri we spent the day at the beach and Saturday we drove to Las Vegas and St. George and saw Les Miserables at Tuaccahn. The trip was a total blast and we love everyone we went with! The whole pack of people were Jake and Ashley, Hayley and Troy, Me and Jordan, Natalie and Scott and baby Chandler, Carly and Spencer, and Roxy and Doug. It was so fun and it was nice to have a week off!

I CAN'T HIDE MY EXCITEMENT

Hey everyone, just so you know we are going to Cali on Friday afternoon and coming back next Sunday night! We are so so excited. We are going with friends and are especially excited to spend the time with Hayley and Troy and Jake and Ashley(and baby in belly). I don't think that we will get time to blog on our trip though sorry we're not as good as Kara! She's awesome. Anyways look forward for fun pics from the trip and we will miss everyone who is not going with us!

SUNDAY MORNING DRIVE/HIKE

This is our town! If you look close you can see our house

Who knew that just a few miles from our house is this pretty place!

Our weekend with Logan and Bridger

This last weekend we had the pleasure of babysitting our 2 nephews and they were so cute. It was Bridger's birthday and so we had a little mini party for him. They helped me make the cake and eat the batter and then decorate what was left after we baked it. Then we opened some presents and had a fun balloon fight with our friend Shane who they loved instantly. It was alot of fun!

I KNOW YOU ALL CARE ABOUT OUR CHILDREN

No we do not have any kids as most of you know and that is why we treat our dogs as if they were kids. But anyways we got the dogs bones and this bone is like half the size as molly we thought it was funny.
