Utah Banastics i mean Ganastics i mean Gymnastics/Abby's Baptisim

First off Mike called 101.5 the eagle radio station because he thought he was winning tickets to like a country concert or something haha but he did win tickets to the Utah Gymnastics. So Since Mike obviously didnt want to go he decided to give them to Halli and Kinzie since they are in gymnastics. So Lisa the girls and I went. It was so much fun! The girls had a blast, especially with there pom poms Lisa bought for them!(and there posters)

I just got back from Arizona. I was there for my Niece Abby's Baptism! My Dad, My brother and Me drove all night on Thursday to get to my sister's house. My Mom was already down there. But we stayed with my cousin Jeff and his wife Louisa and there cute fun kids! We first had Abby's baptism on saturday and had a little lunch party afterwards. I'm so Proud of you Abby! You are such a wonderful Example! Mike and I love you very much! Also on saturday we went to a restraunt called San Tan Flatts. It was really cool. It was like a western restraunt and you eat outside. The tables are on dirt and you can roast marshmallows too, so we made smore's(yum yum). They also have a live band playing on the weekend and a little dancing area. So i danced with the girls, which was so much fun. Good to be young! We went to church on sunday and then we had a yummy dinner (corn beef and cabage) for my birthday(which is St Patricks day). Then we left on Monday morning.It was so good to see my family, especially Jenn and Riches Cute Little girls! I had such a good time with them. We just played and played and played! I cant wait to see them again! I love you Abby, Paige and Maren! Thanks Jenn and Rich for letting me come down to visit i had a great time!

First day back at work and it was my birthday(Green Baby) It's been a fun day! My Mom took me out to lunch and we had a great time! Thanks Mom! Mike is at school for the night so i will cuddle up in a warm blanket and read a book(and of course watch American Idol). My friend are having spa day on saturday for our birthdays (since my most wonderful husband got me a spa gift certificate for Valentines) which will be so much fun, and Mike and I will probably go out and do something this weekend. He will be on spring break the rest of this week so YAY!!! Only 44 more days til he graduates!!!!(not that i'm counting or anything :) ) I love you Mike! You are the best husband any girl could ask for! Thank you for all you do! Especially going to school! You are such a hard worker and so dedicated! I Love You Sweetheart!!!

HAPPY ST. PATRICKS DAY!!!!

vroom vroom, cutestest and most talented husband, and oh what a B-E-A-UTIFUL SIGHT!!

Well we haven't written for some time now, but we are just getting back into our routine, after the holidays. Mike's back in school and "lovin" every minute of it(NOT). I'm just doing the same ole' thing work work work all day long. But we have managed to get a few good times in there of course. We always enjoy the Sunday visits at each of our parents house. The playing the Wii with my family and wrestling with the nephew's at his family.

I learned a good lesson on Sunday. I'm the Miamaids advisor in the young women so i have the opportunity to teach every Sunday except for fast Sunday. So yesterday was a fast Sunday and we just had a great lesson. I really learned that i need to have fun in the moment that I'm in, the stage in life that I'm in, or it will just go by so quickly that i will wish i could go back instead of enjoying it now. So I've decided instead of always thinking about how much i cant wait for this and this and this in the future I've decided to stay in the present and enjoy the time that Mike and i have right now together and the fun times we have in the present.

Mike is just so talented. One day he decided that he wanted to play the guitar, so HE DID. He is amazing! He cant read the music he just plays by EAR! He really truly is amazing! I thought i would share some way cute pictures of him playing the guitar, and then of course just goofing off trying to hide from the camera.

Mike and I went to the Draper Temple open house on January 16th. We went with two of my managers from work Marcia and Katie(Katie a non-member). Marcia's husband and daughter and niece. It was so much fun! It was so peaceful and spiritual there. I'm so glad i can go there all the time and feel of that strong spirit. Katie and a wonderful time and couldn't believe how Beautiful the Celestial room was! Afterwards she text Mike and me to tell us thank you for answering all her questions(mostly mike answering ha ha) and me how grateful she was that Mike and i were her friends and what a great time she had. Now we don't know if anything will ever come about with this temple visit, but we know for sure that the spirit was there and that she felt it strongly.

I hope everyone has a HAPPY HAPPY VALENTINES DAY! Enjoy the day with your Sweetheart I know i will!!

No School, Christmas, New Year's Eve and so forth...

Mike finished up finals two weeks ago and is about to go back for the FINAL semester!(WOW does that sound good) He did SO great in his classes. ALL A's and 1 B. WAY TO GO SWEETHEART!! We then had lots of christmas parties and then Christmas. It was a really fun day!(besides the fact that Dad had a little accident with the snowblower). First we went to Mike's families house for brunch in the morning and opened gifts and played with the neices and nephews. Then to my families in the afternoon and did the same thing. ATE, ATE, and ATE. We are so greatful for this time of year and hope to have the spirit of christmas with us all year round.

Our Cute Little Christmas Tree

Me, Mik, Kinzie, Halli

Us Making Christmas Cookies For Santa

Well i started a new job at the bank. I use to do Teller/New Accounts and now i'm going to just be doing New Accounts. I'm so excited! I really love it! Now i will have my own desk and everything haha. I have been struggling a bit at work lately because my most favorite manager just became the new Operations Manager in our new branch in Saratoga Springs and just left last week. And as sad as that is Her and I just really had a good realationship. SO anyway i was struggling with that and then it was my last day on the teller line and wasnt balancing in my drawer at all so it just wasnt a very good day. SO the moral of the story is.... Mike came and picked me up from work and had a movie in his hand and roses in the back of the car for me!! He's just a little sweetie. So we had a little date night! Which i looooved because we dont always get to be together all the time when he's in school so it's been nice to spend more time together on his break(soon to end :( )

Now New Years Eve.... We went over to our friend's house and Played games and ate pizza and ate more and more and so on. Then we went outside and lit fire works in the snow haha and that was really fun and funny!!! Then we went home and slept like babies.

Well i hope you all had a very Merry Christams and have a Happy New Year!!!
