Christmas!

It's almost here! I can't believe it came so fast! This year for Christmas it is Chris' year to decide what we are going to be doing. He told me that he just wants to stay home, so I figured this would be the perfect time to start some of our own family traditions... we have a little family with our 2 dogs and MAYBE one day we will add to the family.. MAYBE. So because we will be staying in SL this year and not going to see my parents they are coming to us...

We are going to be doing a Christmas brunch at our house on Sunday! I can't wait to see everyone and open presents! it is going to be great!
Poor Chris is getting his last 2 wisdom teeth out on Friday so hopefully he will be feeling a little better by Sunday and be able to eat some yummy food with everyone.

I started my new job this week and it has been a long week! Monday was horrible! I felt like I spent most of my day reading and trying to remember how to do things! I switched to dental back in October and have been doing nothing but dental since then... now I am back doing medical and it has been a real challenge trying to remember everything... hopefully it will start to get easier.. I am looking forward to the weekend and then a 3 day work week next week... there is so much to look forward to in the next bit and the biggest thing is our cruise to MEXICO! It is coming so fast and I really need to start getting ready for it. We will be leaving for Cali on January 21, we will spend the day there and then board ship on Saturday morning. We will sail down to Mexico for 8 days and return back to Cali on January 29, then we will fly home and back to work on Monday! going to be pretty crazy and so fun! I can't wait!

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! ! ! ! ! !
