Thankful

Since the thankful month is almost over I wanted to post what I am thankful for.

Family: they are ALWAYS there for you and they love you no matter what.

Friends: Thanks to all my friends that let me vent, listen to me complain, make me laugh, look on the bright side and make the days at work so much shorter. Thanks for letting me tell you everything that happens in my life good and bad!

Husband: He is there is take care of me, listen to my frustrations, cuddle with me, have lazy days, take me on vacations, save me from driving on snowy days and just be there for me to lean on. He makes me happier than I ever thought possible.

4-wheel drive: living in Utah I am so happy that we have a 4wheel drive truck, the past couple of weeks have made me realize how lucky we are to have a truck.

Heat: heat in the cars and house

House: so thankful we have a house it may not be the newest or biggest but it is ours and I am so thankful for it

Dogs: what would my life be like with out my 2 kids... they entertain us, make us laugh, make us mad, and are always happy to see us.

Jobs:I am so thankful that both Chris and I have great jobs! I just got a new job within my company and can't wait to take on more work and more money! I am thankful to have a job that is so flexible that on snowy mornings I have the option to ride with my hubby in the 4wheel drive and come to work an hour later than normal.

I am sure there are more things that I am thankful for but those are on my mind right now.

2 Months! !

2 more months and I will be here! ! !

Fun Times!

Over the last couple weeks we have had alot of fun. I went shopping with my mom and sisters and found some killer deals on all kinds of clothes! We went to a Jazz game and had some pretty amazing seats "thanks Eric", we went to a halloween party and had such a blast! The cold weather is here offically and I HATE it! I am looking forward to Thanksgiving and Christmas and then off to Mexico to warm weather! I seriously don't think I have ever been so excited to take a break from everything and hang out with my cousin and our husbands! I am really excited to go with another couple because we have done the me and Chris thing 2 times now and it will be fun to have other people to hang out with...


me and my sister's hanging out and being dorks at my parents house! So much fun!

Jazz Game:


the Jazz are doing really good so far this season! sometimes it gets frustrating but then they pull together and are able to beat some of the best teams in the leage or so some people say, like last night we were able to beat the "over -rated" Miami Heat! It was such a fun game and I am so happy we won! !

I love this!

it's kind of hard to read but makes so much sense!

"Everybody wants happiness
nobody wants pain,
but you can't have a rainbow
without a little rain"

No new is good news

Nothing new and exciting to report on. Since its been over a week I thought I should post something. I wish I had my camera because posting is so much more fun with pictures, but since I don't I will just do a quick fyi! This weekend Chris is going on a fishing trip and I will be heading to my mom and dad's with my sister for a much needed escape! I love going to my parents house because I can just relax and forget about work and any other stressful thing that is going on. My parents live in the middle of no where pretty much so it is so quite and such a nice break from the city! So needless to say I am so happy this week is over and I can have a break.

I was awarded the Superior Service Award today at work. That is pretty neat to me! It basically tells me that I am recongnized for the work I am doing and it also tells me that I am doing a good job. This is the 3rd time I have recieved this award since working here. It is really great! I am looking forward to next weekend because Friday is my birthday and then Saturday my mom and sisters will be here to go shopping! I can't believe it is the end of October already! Where has this year gone!

DisneyLand will wait...

Well we have decided not to travel to the happiest place on earth.... I have mixed emotions about not going... I am really sad because I have NEVER been there so it was going to be so fun. I really love the people we had planned to go with and being with them would have made anything more fun. The break from work would have been really nice. But looking at the silver lining Disneyland is not going anywhere so I am sure I will make it there one day! I will now get exactly what I wanted for my birthday, A full day of hanging out with my hubby going to see Jackass 3D "I am so excited" and going to lunch and maybe some shopping. Then a full day of shopping with my mom and sisters! I look forward to this day all year every year! We have been doing this since I was 14! We head to provo and spend all day shopping and going where ever we want! this of course includes a yummy lunch and this year I am thinking sangeria will also be on the menu because we are all FINALLY of age! This time of year is so perfect for shopping! the weather is just starting to turn cold so you shop for cute sweaters and warm shirts and of course a new pair of boots! On an even better note we have planned a cruise with my cousin and her hubby in January! We are going to cruise down to Mexico! I am so excited to go to warm weather in the middle of our winter and also to go with another couple! they have never been anywhere! they have been married for 10 years and have 3 adorable girls but have never left them for any kind of vacation! ! ! it is going to be so fun to be with them on their first vacation with no kiddies! ! Can't wait! ! ! ! ! !

Happy Anniversary!

Chris and I celebrated our 1st anniversary on Sunday Sept 26! I can't believe how fast this last year went! I am so happy to be married to my husband and can't wait for many more anniversarys! This year was pretty low key. We celebrated our anniversay on Friday because we had planned to go boating one last time on Sunday before the weather turns cold. So on Friday we went to lunch at the cheesecake factory. Since this place came to Utah I have wanted to go and try it out so I was really excited to finally be going. We got there and the tables are so close to each other that I felt like we were having lunch with another couple as well. Then we ordered our food, which was 16.00 dollars a plate, I ordered the Chicken Mandiera or somthing like that, suppose to be one of their best chicken dishes... I was not impressed... for the price I wanted it to be made of gold or something. Maybe I am just cheap but it wasn't that great for being that expensive. Chris' dish was alot better than mine. By the end of lunch we were both so full we didn't even get cheesecake. Then it was off to the movies! We went to see Wallstreet, money never sleeps. It looked really good and because it was all about money I knew Chris would love it.... It was good, not great but wasn't a total waste either. I wanted it to be more suspenseful. The day was fun and it was nice to spend sometime with just me and my hubby! I can't wait to have many more anniversarys together! What's next to look forward to...... DISNEYLAND in October! ! I can't wait! ! !
