My Summer Vacations!!

Yes I have been posting a lot lately(mainly bc I am on spring break this week, and have a lot of free time to my self) but I was just sooo excited about this summer I can't even contain Myself. May, June, and July are going to be such a blast. Wow I can't for all of it...

Starting with May... This is what were doing and where we'll be going..

First Up on the List.. a Mexican cruise! We are stopping at three places..

Then In June we are off to New York...

And to top it off The Main Event... Europe! England, France, Germany.

.

We feel so lucky to be able to go on all of these trips. Hopefully the next Pictures you see of these will have me in them:)

Next I love this time of year. It makes everything look so pretty. Here are some pictures of my green lawn and our beautiful trees..

I have had a lot on my mind lately that has brought me to think about my own life. Recently a customer of mine who I saw once a week passed away from giving birth to her daughter. Thankfully the baby lived and is beautiful and healthy. But this leaves the grandma in charge to raise this itty bitty new born. Every time the Grandma comes in with this baby my heart feels so sad. NOt only cause I know how hard it is to loose someone you love, but also the new trials this mother must face.

This all just really humbles me and makes me so grateful for the people in my life and the knowledge that I know. I hope that I can always remember this situation and realize that my life is not so bad.

Now on to a better note, I must admit I haven't been the best wife to Brian as I had once promised I would be. I hardly EVER make dinner. If I do it is a piece of chicken and vegetables. That is it!! Boring! So if any of you have any favorite and easy recipes that you like to make, help me out and please share:) I think that I could be good at this cooking thing if I just gave it a shot!
Please feel free to share any of your recipes. BiG THANKS!

I'm starting to love life more..

Its Sunday night updating my blog and thought that I needed to vent. Allthough I'm not one to spill my inner feelings often, I decided to share it with all. Brian is gone on a Business trip and so I'm left alone here in the house with only Bella. St. George is feeling more like home every day. Moving here was a challenge for me at first because that ment starting over somewhere new. The job market was hard to get into but now I am happy and settled in my job(most of the time) and have made some really good friends here that I have the feeling will be mine for a lifetime.

Recently we moved to a new ward and we are the youngest couple in there. It was a change because I had gotten used to our college ward and all the friends there. With being the youngest in the ward, we are the only ones that don't have children. Brian and I have been trying to have kids for about a year, and have had some complications. So for the first couple of times going, I have left Church feeling down in the dumps. I then get over it and move on... so with that said I have been down with feelings of self pitty and discouragement.... I felt so sick of going to the doctors, not having any family around, and no really close friends to turn to or talk to....

But today was a revelation to me... I started to realize that my heavenly father loves and that he knows what is best for me. I started to count my blessings and not feel so bad for myself. Life is so GOOD! I have been wasting so much time worrying about my health and my future! I now have been enjoying time RIGHT NOW! and life is so much better this way! I'm so excited to enjoy this time with Brian and am so blessed for his love and understanding to me.

Someone once told me before I got married that "The person you marry will decide on your future happines.." I agree and am so glad I married the right guy that is so smart and talented. I'm so excited for the upcoming year... I have a feeling its going to be a good one:)

Happy Birthday to me!! Well its only a couple of weeks late... But yes I did have a Birthday! Here are a few of the Beautiful flowers that I recieved from Brian. Love the Tullips. My work gave me the other flower arrangement. The night of my Birthday we went out to Texas Roadhouse( yes I did ride the saddle;) Then went to our house to and had Cake and Ice Cream. So fun! I can feel this year is going to be a good one!

Here are a Few things that Brian and I have been up to...
1. Went up to Salt Lake so Brian can cover a Jazz game. Brian has been blogging for the Jazz for about 2 years now, and they gave him a media pass! So he got to interview all the players and go into the locker room and stuff. This was also a good excuse to go up to Salt Lake. We stayed with Jake and Lindsey and had so much fun!

2. Played Bingo in Mesquite. I didn't know how fun that game was. We will definantley be back for more!

3. Working out at the gym. For some reason I have gained about ten pounds since we've been married, and i cannot make them go away. So Brian has been kicking my Butt at the gym and we have been eating really healthy. We are going to Cancun this April so I will let you know how it goes. :)

January is here!

Here we are on New Years Eve. We watched the fireworks in St. George with all of our friends and had a blast. We have such a good group of friends here and have been so blessed. It has been nice to meet so many new friends being a newlywed and new to St. George. Brian's friends have such awesome wives and am so happy to get to know all of them. Hopefully 2010 will be our year!

We have been married for 2 years this Dec. We decided to Celebrate by going to Scottsdale to go shopping and then to Cheesecake factory! A very low key night but also very fun. Wow time sure does fly by so fast. I love you babe and am excited to spend the next couple of years with you!

Well the holiday's were just amazing. It seemed like last year went by way too fast!! This Christmas we spent a lot of time with the family. On Christmas Eve and Christmas morning we went to Brian's dad's house, then after opening presents we drove down to Arizona to be with my family. FYI not a good idea to drive on Christmas. YOu would think that there would be no traffic, boy where we wrong. It took us 9 hrs to get home! Not a fun way to spend Christmas. But we were so happy to be around family.

what i've been up to...

What is this you might ask... A dog Snuggie!! I know we've seen the commercials and we know how funny they are, and now I have one more dog to add to the snuggie sensation.. Bella!!\







Now that i have some time on my hands since school is out for the semester, I have decided to catch up on my reading, the first book that I finished was the Lost Symbol, such a good page turner, I highly recommend it!

The next book that I started is called the Hunger Games. It is the first book in the series. A friend recommended it to me and it is quite good. It is an easy read and also a page turner.
And last but not least my new favorite movie... 500 days of summer. So good!

ALso.. Brian has a lot of free time on his hands because he just finished his Masters in Business!! Good job babe I'm so proud of you!!

I love the Holidays!

Happy Holidays Y'all!! I am so excited for this time of the year. I love the Christmas spirit and it reminds me of all the stuff that I'm grateful for. I've been touched by a lot of different people lately and find myself getting teary-eyed because of the kindness of others.. I gues it is just what this time of year brings!

Some of the things that I am grateful for:

1. A Wonderful husband that is such a good example to me. I really did luck out. He is such a hard worker and I am a better person because of him. Love you babe.


2. A Wonderful job that pays for my school and has great benefits. Also-- Brian's secure and great job
3. I am so glad to be going to school and growing as a person



4. Mine and Brian's family that support me so much



5. The simple things in life.
   
   HAPPY HOLIDAY's!!
