update

I am not sure what to blog about so I thought that I'd just give a quick update of what's going on in our lives right now.

Right now..... we are looking for a new place to live. There are several reasons that we want to move but overall it's just because we need something a little bit bigger than what we have now. I'll be kinda sad when we do leave though just because the house is cute and it's such a good location (but I won't miss the mice).


nope. won't miss them one bit.

Work has been really tough lately. I am in the toddler room at work now and they have all been SO grumpy!!!!!!!!!!!! Three of the kids just had new little siblings born so they are super stressed out and they cry at EVERY little thing. I know I should be more sympathetic to them but when you have eight of them in one room all you want to do is sit down on the floor and cry with them (and I almost have).

Steven still loves video games. He just got Batman and he hearts it.

I am in choir again!!!!!! I am in the University of Utah Women's Chorus and it's soooo much fun! I am also taking voice lessons at the U again and my teacher is awesome and I am so excited to be taking lessons again from him this semester.

We are the ward activities committee chair.... people............................ :( :( :(

We have almost been married for ONE YEAR!!

I have a new favorite snack: Almonds.

My sister is still on a mission... and she is still having a good time (and I am still borrowing her boots).

Steven's car is having a rough time and we are probably going to get a new one in the next year or so. Poor little car....


Despite people's votes from my last post.... I am pretty sure I don't want to have a baby next year. Sorry.

one year left....

This is it guys! I have one more year until I get my bachelor's!!!!! It has gone by SOOO fast. I feel like I'm still 17 most of the time. I am sooo excited to be almost done.

However, being almost done with school brings a bit of stress with it. What am I supposed to do when I'm done??

I decided that I'll put it to a vote. Here are my ideas:

1. Go to grad school and get a degree in Marriage and Family Therapy (something I want to do someday before I'm 40, but I just don't know when)

2. Take a break from school and just work

3. Become my mom's full time cake apprentice (her idea)

4. Just have a baby (Aunt Carolee's idea. Honestly, I'm not a big fan of this idea....yet)

5. Become a wedding planner!!!!! (which means more school as well, just not as much)



Alright. Those are my ideas. I would love to get your insight and your vote. If you have another ideas for my future, I would love to hear them!!

Life Lessons Learned

The New Year's exercise bug hit me.
I have been running in the morning again and I learned some very valuable lessons:

If you go running in the morning,
  • use the bathroom BEFORE you start running
  • if you can't manage the first, DO NOT go running

The reasons behind this I think are fairly obvious.
The situation gets scarier and scarier as you get closer to getting back home.

Winter Break

I'm sorry I've been so bad about blogging. I just don't know what to blog about anymore... and then if I decide to blog about something I decide that it's too boring or that I don't feel like it. What do you guys want to hear about?

Sadly, winter break is over and spring semester starts on Monday. :(

We had a wonderful break and I thought I'd post some of my highlights from the break:

1. Getting Christmas money for SHOPPING!!!!

2. Shopping.
- I bought 3 pairs of jeans from Charlotte Russe for $58!!! joy!!!!

3. Getting to see Sara! She is one of my best friends and she lives in Arizona right now so I don't get to see her that often. :(

4. Visiting with Darcie!!! Thanks again for the Cafe Rio. :)

5. Not having to go to work for 11 days.

6. Sleeping in.

7. Our Christmas Program we had at work (the babies wore sheep hats! so cute!)

8. Sleeping over on New Year's Day at Tiff and Dan's.



There are other things... but they all relate to things I bought so I don't think I'll bore you with all the details of good deals I found.

I hope you all had a great Christmas/New Years/Holiday break!!!
