::Super Cute::

Find a guy who calls you beautiful instead of hot, who calls you back when you hang up on him, who will lie under the stars and listen to your heartbeat, or will stay awake just to watch you sleep... wait for the boy who kisses your forehead, who wants to show you off to the world when you are in sweats, who holds your hand in front of his friends, who thinks you're just as pretty without makeup on. One who is constantly reminding you of how much he cares and how lucky his is to have you.... The one who turns to his friends and says, 'that's her.'”

Thank you Jeremy for being this guy for me!

::Busy, Busy, Busy::

I can't believe how busy we've been this past weekend. First off can I say how thankful I am to have such great family and friends! Thanskgiving day was fabulous! I very much enjoy my mother in laws cooking she makes by far the best thabksgiving dinner I've ever had! It was sad to not have jeremy's brother and sister and there families there but that just meant more of the delicious food for me!

After the in-laws we headed to my aunts to hang with my fam for a while before heading off to the Jazz game which was great by the way! Josh and Danielle were here for the weekend and thursday night started a record breaking weekend of no sleep which for those that know me well know that no sleep for me is a bad thing but I must say I did pretty well! After the jazz game we started the count down to Jeremys birthday! We headed to Cheers to You and hung out until the clock struck 12 at which point Danielle and I sang happy birthday really loud!
Well, black friday is my favorite holiday so I convinced jeremy to come out with me which was awesome! Instead of going to bed for an hour we headed straight to old navy and waited till 3 am to get some new clothes for B cuz he's decided to start growing like a weed all the sudden! After old navy we did walmart and smiths and were home in bed by 7 which was awesome! I got some rest and then off to wendover for some fabulous Dwight!
Saturday was just as busy! We got tickets to the BYU v. Utah game and had a great time until the great Max Hall decided to sully the win and his team by saying us Ute fans are classless and he hates us! I must say the BYU fans we sat by were no angels to us but we took it and rolled with it and didn't ruin it for all othe ute fans but oh well!
Finally sunday was our day of rest and it was fabulous! I got the laundry done, the house cleaned, and started with the christmas decorations which I hope to get finished by this weekend!
Just writing this post made me tired all over again but I sure did enjoy the weekend!

::Dirty 30::

Yes you read that right! My husband turned 30 on November 27th! I can't believe that we started dating when he was just the ripe ol' age of 23, man how time flies when you're having fun! I just want to wish him a happy (belated) birthday on the blog! We celebrated out in Wendover with Dwight Yokam and it was so much fun I loved it and thought I would hate it!

HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY JERMS! WE LOVE YOU

::Working hard or Hardly working?::

Well, I have been working as a full time speech language therapist for about a month now and I love every minute of it. I am so glad that I was able to leave SelectHealth and start my new career. It is so nice to know that what I went to school for is actually what I really want to do. (breathing a sigh of relief now!)

I am loving working with the elementary kiddo's, they have such an energy about them and you can tell that they really want to be here and they really want to learn which is so great. They love coming to see me and they love working hard and showing me what they can do which is so great!

I spend about 90% of my time solely with elementary aged children and the other 10% is spent with JR High kids which is rough. The dynamic of JR High is so much different than elementary school. The JR High kids don't really want to come see me and once the do show up (if they show up) they just want to get out of my office as quickly as possible which I find weird because I am awesome! Oh well I guess that is where I will strive to be that much better as a therapist!

Between my 3 jobs and my family I have been so busy and a lot of the time feel so stressed out but I feel that it is a good stress and not a bad stress if that makes any sense! I will be starting a class next week to help me take my GRE test to get into graduate school and then the long hard process of applying to graduate school starts which I am not looking forward to but oh well I gotta do it. I just hope that it works out for me this year and I actually get in!

::Josh and Danielle October 17, 2009::

The day has finally arrived. After announcing their engagement more than 1 year ago Josh and Danielle finally tied the knot! Jeremy and I left for St. Louis, MO on Thursday October 15 so we could be there to celebrate their special day!

This trip did not start out great for me! I had to wake up at 4 am to catch my 7 am flight. Most of you know I am not a morning person by any means so this did not make me happy! Well we made our flight and found out that our straight thru flight was now changed and going to be making a lay over in Atlanta for an hour. AAAHHHHH I hate lay overs especially when I have to fly over my destination to make it there! Well we were delayed in SLC for 45 min b/c of some "technical difficulties" a excuse me what does this mean? Any who ... We made it to Atlanta with time to eat lunch only to find out our flight there was delayed an hour and a half .... AAAAHHHHHHH seriously ... I have now been up since 4 am UT time and find out my flight was supposed to land in St. Louis by 2:40 pm (just enough time to take a nap before the Bachelorette/Bachelor parties) and we now are not landing until 4ish. This super sucks b/c Jeremy still has to head to Men's Warehouse to get his tux! Well we finally made it to our hotel at 6 pm Thursday night and had just enough time to shower and get ready before the festivities! I have to say I was a trooper, I didn't complain once I just ate some much needed dinner and then went out with the girls (many of whom I didn't know mind you). I finally had Josh's aunt take me to my hotel around midnight b/c I needed some sleep!

Friday started off slow. The boys went out to celebrate with Josh and Jeremy didn't stroll into our room until 5 am .. WTF???? So he slept until about noon and by this point we had just enough time to get ready and get a quick lunch before driving to Danielle's parents house in Illinois for the rehearsal dinner. This was a fun night. Great food and we got to meet all of Josh's St. Louis friends and Danielle's family and friends!

Saturday we hit up the Budweiser brewery. We never miss this stop when we are in St. Louis b/c they give out free beer at the end! We had a great time with just us SLC friends and Josh it was a nice day right before the big "I DO". We then travelled back to Illinois to Hidden Lake Winery where Josh and Danielle exchanged their vows and had a HUGE celebration! It was such a fun night and I loved every minute of it!

Sunday we just relaxed and slept and got on our flight to come home. It was a fast and busy weekend but we are so glad we could be there to celebrate with the happy couple!

Congrats Danni and Josh we love you. Hope you're having fun in Mexico I am very jealous!

::Gotta Love the Beach::

So for the past couple of years my mom, her 6 sisters, and my grandparents have travelled to Florida once and California twice for a much needed girls trip. They rent a beach house and stay literally right on the beach and do nothing all day long. This year they finally allowed us girl nieces to come along with them! What great fun we had! We went to Newport Beach the second weekend in October and it was so great. I didn't get out of my comfie clothes the whole weekend! 

The sisters and grandparents all went for a full week and the nieces started showing up around Thursday to help finish off the week with a bang and boy did we! My sister and I got in Thursday night around 10ish and we stayed up with my other cousins until like 1 am just talking, laughing, and having some much needed cousin fun! This is how relaxing the vacation was I have no idea what we did on Friday afternoon! I do know we went boogie boarding and had a great time. Saturday we rented beach cruisers and cruised along the board walk and onto the ferry to Balboa island! Sunday we woke up and drove to San Diego ate some great mexican food and got on our flight home! It wasn't a long vaca, but it was long enough to spend some great time laughing and loving my family! I will get pictures loaded on the computer and posted at some point in time!

::A Sad/Happy day in my Little World::

Well today is offically one of the saddest/happiest days for me! How can this be you ask, well let me tell you! I have been offered a position working full time as a Speech Language Technician (which is what I have been going to school for for the past 2 years) so that effectively ends my employment with SelectHealth. I am so excited to be starting this new career phase in my life it is just bittersweet to be leaving a wonderful place to work with wonderful fabulous people. I honestly can say I love everyone that I work with and it is hard to imagine not seeing them daily.

This new adventure will hopefully help me get into graduate school next year so that I can go further with this career. I can't wait to get started and meet all the wonderful little children that I will be working with, and it is nice to know that the U didn't take almost $10 grand just for the heck of it!!!
