September

So we are all moved in yay!!!!!!! We survived. I want to give a big thank you to my old ward. They were sooo awesome. They showed up at 8am and had like 5 trucks and they got us alll loaded up by 945. Then we got all moved in by 1115. I was soooo worrie dthat we wouldn't have enough help but we did. NOw its just the fun of unloading and unpacking all the boxes. The hard part I am having is this place is a lot smaller so I dont' have a lot of space and my kitchen is 10 times smaller so I don't have space to put my stuff. But hopefully I will figure it out. I was really overwhelmed the first few days but now I am doing better. It is very nice to be soo close and I can walk everywhere.
I can't believe it is September already. Only 21 days til my b-day. The big30!!!!!!! It will be fun. Things are going well for us. Dan and I both finally got our raises. So I am definetly grateful for that. The Lord definetly is watching over us. I am grateful for my family. That we are sooo close and have fun. I am very grateful fr my sister Lauren. She is such a good example to me of being brave and courageous and doing what is best for her.
Pretty soon I will have to start my Christmas countdown. After my b-day of course:) anyway we are doing good.

I can't belive how fast it is coming but we only have ten days til we move. I am excited for a change. I am ready for a new ward and a new experience. But I have sooo much to do and to get ready. I hate it cause I have not been able to sleep very well the past couple of days. My mind is just racing with everythign we need to get done. I am sure it will all be okay I jsut wish it was already saturday the 28th and that we were all moved in.

My vacation was soo fun and very much needed. It was soonice just to go and be spoiled and spend some time with mom. I was soo nice to relax and not have to worry about all the stressors at home. I missed Dan a lot though. This is the longest we have a been apart from each other. But it was good. I really appreciate my mom alot and that we have a good relationship and have fun. Thanks MOm for the great WEEK!!!!!

Vacation!!!!!

So it's been a while since I have done a blog. But I have been staying busy. This past week has a been a lot of fun. My mom came friday the 23rd. We went on the 24th and saw the movie Toy Story 3. It was Jaden's and Kiki's first movie ever in a theatre. They had sooo much fun and Jadend thought it was sooo cool. Then on Sunday I had a BBQ with my friends from work. The rest of the week was really good. JUst chilling with my family and my mom. Then Saturday was the big event that we had been planning for six months. It was my Dad's suprise 60th B-day party. The whole day we were super excited!!! THe party was a great turn out and my dad was suprised. He kind of had an idea but he didn't realize to what extent it was going to be.

Then yesterday my mom and I drove back to her house in Arizona. We had such a fun time on this road trip. We left at 6am bright and early. It started off kind of funny. When my mom was turning off the road I live on she totally turned on the wrong side of the road. so we started laughing. and then our first stop in Nephi I couldn't find my phone. So we had a panic attack but then it had ended up falling out of my purse into my moms bag. We had fun listening to music, and talking. Then at about half way through the trip there was a U-haul truck that was in front of us. And it was funny because it said on the back of it: Dollies and Pads. And after my mom said it I just started laughing. It was sooo funny. IT was definetly a had to be moment but it was super funny to us. So now tha tis our inside joke. Anyway we made it here about 4:30ish.

This morning we went to Cracker barrell for breakfast. Then we went to the mall and we shopped til we drop. We hit the best deals. And then we went to Johnny Rockets. OH man that place is sooo good. They have the best chocolate shakes. Then we came home and rested, and watched the Bachelorette. I have been having a blast here anits been nice to be "spoiled' and to have a vacation. I will keep you updated.

Happy Anniversary!!!

Wow I can't believe it has been three years today!!! IT has flown by. I am so happy and grateful for a wonderful husband. The past year has been a hard one with the miscarriage and all. But he has been such a strength and support. Sometimes the loss of a baby can pull the couple apart, but for us it has brought us even closer. I rely on Dan so much. He is a wonderful provider, and motivates me. We get to go spend the day together. I will post our pictures and adventures tonight. Happy Anniversary!!!!1

Families.....

So I just want to vent about family dynamics when married. I love being married but It is defiently harder when you are married to do your family things, and all the family dynamics. In my family we always help each other out without being asked for anything in return. We genuinely enjoy spending time together and always are there for each other. Its hard when you have to mesh your family and your spouse. I love Dan's family and I enjoy spending time with them. But they don't do a lot together and since mine does I think it has been hard for Dan to get used to that. Its funny because i am a very outgoing person and he keeps more to himself. That doesn't mean its wrong I am just not used to it. But they say opposites attract. In the last three years I am realizing that everyone is different, families are different. But the important thing is Dan and I's future family. I know that both of our families will be there to help and do whatever they can. I am very grateful to both of my families for what they teach me. For the love they show to us. I love Dan very much and I am learning to apprecaite his attributes and the things he will teach our children. Cause in the end its going to be about Dan and I and that we raise our family. Man its funny I will be 30 this year and I feel sooo "Old"....... I remember growing up being so excited to be married and have kids. And now its finally here. I am ready for the next chapter to come. Hopefully soon.... I am realizing my "kids' are stubborn tooo like there parents. Oh boy can't wait for the ride.....:)

Hi its been a long time since I have posted. I can't believe how fast the summer has flown by. Life is going pretty well. The month of July started out good. We had a fun 4th of July weekend. We got to spend Saturday night with my family and sunday night with Dan's. We had great food, fun and fireworks. All the great makings for a fun Holiday weekend.

Then on that monday Dan and I had the day together adn we went on a Date to Hollywood Connections. We had a free coupon for Mini Golf and then two for one laser tag. It was soooo much fun.

Now we are getting ready to celebrate our 3rd anniversary. I can't believe how fast it has gone. We are going to go to Deseret Star playhouse and have dinner. We were hoping to go on our Anniversary day but it was sold out so we are goint to go friday. We both took the day off and were are going to go downtown to the Salt Lake Temple and do sealings and then have a picnic. It should be a fun day.

We are still waiting for the Governor to make his decison if dan is going to be on the ballot. Its been kind of annoying waiting but hopefully.

So we found out a few nights ago that we have to move. but I am actually okay it with it. I am ready for a new adventure and to start over. I have loved where we have been, but I am ready for somethign new. So the search for a place has started.

So thats whats been going on with us. Life is good. and we are ready for whats next.!!!

Happy Birthday Dan!!!!

So Yesterday was Dan's 27th b-day. He had a really good day. We both had to Work but Dan's get up at 600am so when his alarm went off I woke up and we opened his presents. I was pretty much asleep but it was fun. He got some great stuff if I do say so myself:) I gave him the Illustrated Edition of the Book 1776. He got Mythbusters season 1 and a gift card to his favorite hobby store. He was really excited. Then that night for Dinner we went to Su Casa with his parents, and my sister Angie. Then we headed over to the District and watched Eclipse. It was soooo freaking good!!!! And lets just say Jacob is not bad looking either:) Anyway then tonight we had Dan's family and friend Luke over for yummy Strawberry cheescake. So he had a really good b-day. Now for a great Fourth of July Weekend!!!!!
