::Out with the old (2009) in with the New (2010)::

Well, 2009 is over and as I look back I feel that our small family of 3 has accomplished so much!

Our first accomplishment comes on April 13, 2009 this was the day we hit our 1 year mark in our very first home!

The next accomplishment comes on May 8, 2009 when Jeremy and I graduated from the University of Utah! It was so much fun doing this together and having our parents and grandparents there to celebrate with us!

The next accomplishments come as a pair really! On May 31 Jeremy and I hit our 7 year mark together and on June 9 we hit our 2 year wedding anniversary! I wish that for every anniversary it was totally legal to have your wedding day all over again! This by far the best day of my life June 9, 2007!!!

I guess after this things were uneventful until B started 3rd grade. Now I know most of you are thinking "this isn't an accomplishment" but the actual accomplishment was that B was no longer the shy timid kid in school. He has friends and even ... Wait for it ... Girl friends! In a matter of a couple of weeks B went thru 3 different girl friends and wrote love letters and break up letters. B is pretty much just like his father!!!

August 24, 2009 brings on a new set of challenges and fun when I officially began working as a Speech Language Assistant for granite school district. Actually being able to do what I went to school for has been so great and such an accomplishment in and of it self! Then on October 8, 2009 I got hired to work at a harter school so that hit the day that I started working as a full time SLP! October 8 was also a very sad day for me as this is the day that I left my beloved friends and family at SelectHealth. This was very very hard for me but it was such a blessing to work with the greatest people ever!

On September 17th our great friends Josh and Danielle finally tied the knot and we all headed to St. Louis for a great wedding celebration! This was our first and last real vaca in 2009 so that was our accomplishment!

November 27, 2009 was the day my husband turned 30. It was a great weekend to celebrate with our friends and family!

We celebrated our 2nd Christmas in our house and B actually made it to the age of 8! After the attitude he's been getting you'd all be surprised that he made it there too!!! Hahahaha!

Not a whole lot but they were our accomplishments and we loved them!

Hopefully 2010 will bring its own adventures and accomplishments! I'm in the long and gruling process of applying for graduate school and I'm hoping I get in this year so we'll see how that goes! Jeremy has applied and has 2 really good interviews with 2 really good companies so we're hoping one of those pans out! B should be turning 9 but that attitude that came out in 2009 is still here so I will keep you posted on if he makes it or not!!!

I don't like to set resolutions because I feel I'm setting myself up for failure so instead of making resolutions I simply hope that everything we do decide to accomplish this year comes true but I go in with no expectations!!!

Happy new year to all and thank you for being there during our accomplishments!!!

::Happy 8th Birthday to You::

I can't believe that that this dude is 8 years old today. I also can't believe that I met him when he was 1! Wow how time flies when we're having a great time! We love you B and wouldn't know what to do with out you in our world!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY B you are awesome!!

:Going Private???::

So, I log onto my blog this morning and notice I have a few more followers than normal. Some of whom don't have a profile for me to figure out who they are. Not good. I am thinking about going private now. Even though we don't have anything going on in our lives and I don't put private/personal things on our blog it still kinda gave me the creeps. What are your thoughts on this? (to the 1 maybe 2 people, if that, that read this blog!)

::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!
