The awesome Condo our friends let us stay in.

This past weekend me, my mom and sister Angie headed down to St George for the weekend. We were very excited to go because we were going to go to Tuchacan to see the plays Grease and Little Mermaid. One of my best friends family has a Condo, and they were so gracious and kind to let us stay there. It is a super nice place to stay. The first night we got there went to dinner at Cafe Rio. Then that night me and Angie went to the Little Mermaid. It was sooo good. The cool affects and the costumes were soo fun. Then Saturday morning we got up and headed out to doing some shopping and get pedicures and just have a fun time. We went to the Pasta Factory for lunch, and after that we headed over to a Cupcake shop that my sister had remembered. I had the best Red Velvet cupcake. Oh my gosh it was sooo good. Then I got a pedicure and it was so nice and relaxing. Then that night we went to Red Robin for dinner. Then we headed to see the play Grease. It was really good too. The music was so fun. That night after we were sooo tired so we came home and went to bed. Then the next morning we got up and went to the Bear Paw cafe for breakfast. It is a local place there and it was so yummy. THen we headed home. We had sooo much fun just getting away.

Birthday Weekend

Dan made me this scrapbook for my B-day. It was sooo sweet. He totally surprised me.



I really wanted this pillow.






Out to dinner at the Resteraunt
One of my favorite signs in the room

Just arriving in our room.

So last Thursday was my 31st birthday!!! I can't believe I am that old. No BUENO!!!! Anyway this was one of the best birthdays I have had. Dan and I decided to go to the Anniversary Inn in Logan. We have heard about it and always wanted to go. So we decided Logan because it would be a mini get away. So we had the Hawaiian Paradise room. So we both took Thursday and Friday off. So Thursday morning my friend Melissa took me to Johanna's kitchen for breakfast. Then that afternoon about two Dan and I headed out. We got to Logan about 345. We checked into our room and it was sooooo AWESOME!!!!! The walls were painted, and they had two huge Plasma tvs in the room and the Bathroom. There was sparkling cider, and two pieces of Cheese cake. There were tons of pillows on the bed and my favorite one was the Pineapple pillow. The decor was sooo fun. You really did feel like you were on a Private island. So after we checked in an got situated, we headed out to go to dinner. We wanted to do a local place that only Logan has. So we went to this Mexican Restaurant called El Viejo or something like that. It was really yummy. Then we came home and spent the whole evening just enjoying being together. We took our Wii, watched a Christmas movie, had popcorn and just enjoyed the night. The next morning they brought us a yummy breakfast. Then we just lounged around. We had a late check out so it was nice not to have to hurry. Then we got ready and went to the Logan Temple and did iniatories. Then we went to lunch at The Bluebird cafe, another local place. It was such a great trip and great birthday. Very nice to get away for a few days and be together.

Anniversary

I can't believe I forgot to post about our Anniversary. We celebrated our 4th anniversary on July 21st. I can't believe it has been four years. Time has definitely flown by. We have a tradition that we go to the Temple and do sealings. Well this year with our work schedules we did not get to do sealings. But we did go and do Iniatories. So that was very nice to do that. Then that night after work we went to the Deseret Star Playhouse and saw Goldilocks Capone and the Three Amigo's. They always have such fun plays there, and we always have a good time. I am so glad that I am married to Dan. Each year we become even better than we were before. He is my best friend and I am excited for the next 50 years.

August Already?

I love the looks on their faces. they look soo Happy.
Love this one me and Dan's mom and dad.

Wow I can't believe that we are half way through August. It has been over a month since I have posted. But we have been staying super busy and enjoying our summer. The first of this month Dan's little bro got married, and I got a new sister in law Misti. She is such a sweetheart and fits in so well with the family. I am so glad she and Mike found each other. They got sealed at Mt Timpanogis temple. They looked soo happy and Misti's dress was beautiful. Then we had the luncheon at their church building in Herriman. Then we had the reception at Dan's parents house. It was set up very nicely and they had a Zombie themed cake. They also had a DJ and we did some fun dances. We did the Macarena and YMCA. All the Classics. It was a really long day but very fun. So happy for Mike and Misti.

BEST CONCERT EVER!!!!!

ALL I CAN SAY IS BEST CONCERT EVER!!!! Lauren and I had so much fun in Vegas. We went over the 4th of July. It was sooo fun, we got to eat at an Italian place and we stayed at the Monte Carlo. We seriously screamed sooo loud we hardly had a voice. We even tried to stalk the buses. I am so glad my sister and I got to go have some good sister bonding time.

Happy 4th of July!!

So Saturday July 2nd me, Dan, Matt and Catie went down to Freedom Days in Provo. We had never been there so we decided to check it out. There was tons of booths, rides, crafts set up. They had lots of activities for kids too. We walked around and looked at all the booths. After we did that we had a picnic and we had all kinds of fruits and crackers, and sandwiches. Then after lunch we headed over to Colonial days. That was my favorite part. They had a really cool hall of History. They had a Utah room and other rooms too. They had a huge copy of the Constitution. After we headed over Johanna's kitchen and had dinner. IT was sooo yummy Dan and I definitely want to add it to our going out to dinner places. There scones were sooo yummy!!! Then after dinner we headed to my dad's house to watch the Riverton fireworks. They were sooo awesome and pretty this year. So we had a great start to the 4th of July.

Man I can't belive it is June already. Where did the month of May go? I have not blogged in so long. Partly because my computer has not wanted to work, and then mostly I have been busy, busy. The third week in May I got to go to Arizona and help my mom and walt pack up and move. It was fun to have a vacation. And of course we played and saw a movie, and went to Johnny Rockets. We got the truck loaded up and ready. We also had to move Grandma Elsie. It was quite an adventure on the ride home, but we had a good time. And we also had our Pants:). It sooo nice to have mom so close now.

Dan and I have also been busy. Since I was gone for a whole week Dan and our friends Matt and Catie planned a suprise date when I got back on Sat the 21st. They picked me up at my mom's and Dan was all dressed up in a nice blue shirt and slacks, and freshly shaven. They had cheesefries for the ride over. Then we headed to Hollywood Connections. We had tickets for the new Pirates movie. But we had time before so we played Laser Tag and rode the rollercoaster. It was super fun and I am so thankful for my hubby and great friends.

Candelight dinner!!!!! Love him so much:)

Easter Morning... with our Easter Baskets.

Its been a while since I have blogged. Just been busy having fun. The week before Easter Dan had the whole week off for Spring break. It was very nice to have him home and each night we got to do something. I am looking forward to summer when he will be home in the evenings. Easter Sunday was very nice. We had dinnner at our friend Matt and Caties, and then we played games. It was sooo fun and we had a great time. We are greatful to our new friend Matt and Catie.t hey are sooo nice and we have a super nice time with them. Also the day before Easter, dan told me he had a nice suprise for when I came home from work. So he had me take a skirt and a shirt to work and to change into it before i came home. So when I got home and walked in he had a Candelight dinner. I was sooo shocked. He had the table all set up nicely, with two candles. He had Sparlking cider and a yummy dinner. Steak and potatoes. He even asked the butcher what the best cut was. He had a mixed cd playing that I gave him for Valentines day. It was sooo nice and very romantic. He had everything planned out. Oh yeah and he was all dressed up too. It is something I will always remember.

Last wednesday I took the written test so I could get my Learners permit yet again. I really do notlike going to the DMV. I alwasy come out of there honery. But at least I passed. Now my goal is to have my license by the end of August.

I can't believe it is May already. I did not like the snow we got the day before May. Its sooo crazy this weather. Later this month on the 17th I get to go withmy mom to Arizona to help them pack up. I am sooo super excited. My mom and walt are moving to Utah. They found a house in Sandy. I have not seen it yet. But the road trip will be fun. Anyway that is all that is going on for now.
