3 Years of near-Bliss!

While I don't believe in a perfect marriage, I do know that mine is absolutely great! Happy 3 year anniversary Brad! Look forward to MANY more years together (don't take that as a doomed statement please), and maybe even a few more kids. I know I'm not the easiest to live with, so thank you f0r being so patient with me these last 3 years...LOVE YOU!

BIG NEWS

Hello All!!

The green square on the map with where we're going...it even looks boring on the map

Big news...just to let everyone know, I am officially becoming a hick. Yep...thats right...as if Lehi wasn't "small town" enough, Brad got his big promotion out to TOOELE UTAH. 53 minutes away from our house, and in Utah's tiny town Brad is going to be running the KFC/Taco Bell. This means:

A. We will be selling our house

B. I will have to commute to my last semester of school

C. I will have to learn to cook

D. We will be buying a better house there (because its cheap cheap cheap!)

We actually are really excited to become a little more independent, and to open the next chapter in our lives, even if it is in Tooele.

Girls Trip 2009

Hey guys~

So I know this is almost a month behind, but I'm playing catchup. We had SOO much fun in Seattle for our girls trip! We stayed in the Amazing Woodmark hotel in downtown Kirkland and we fit about a weeks worth of stuff into 3 days. It was beautifully choreographed for sure! And a huge thanks to Kelsey for letting us borrow "the Beast"!!!

Me and Nikki in the room

At El Azteca for Lunch! One of the many great places we HAD to eat while we were there!(Thanks Alli for the picture...I stole it from your blog!)

Us girls down in Downtown Seattle

On our awesome "tourist" boatride...These were the most charming floating houses!!! I want one....only like $500k for the cheapest one!

Us girls finding things to do while mom was at the spa

On the Kirkland Waterfront

What a beautiful parting sight of Mt. Reineer from my airplane window!

We found some great shopping, ate at some of our favorite places (sadly we couldn't make it to all of them...), and saw our favorite girls!!! Thanks mom for a great birthday and girls trip!

It's Finished!

Hey All!! Been a while...I have a few things to blog about but I'll get to them later. I just wanted to brag about the rock wall that Brad built in front of our house!!! It looks absolutely amazing! So the before picture isnt exactly good, but it's from just like 3 weeks after we got it, so we hadn't started any changes yet.

Here is the before:


There is a bush just as big on the other side of the stairs that you can't really see.

And here are the afters:

This week I am getting my plants planted in it so it will look even better!!! Brad did such a great job!!!!

Which One?

Hey all! So I've made a few sample invitations for my piano recital. Which one do you like the best?

The Joy of Spring

So here are some fun pictures of Mack that I have taken the last few days...I'm trying to be better about updating my blog. Mack had outgrown all of his cloths (literally ALL of them), so we got to go get him a whole new wardrobe. Here's what me and Mack have been up to lately:

Mack playing in the snow...he had a lot of fun chasing a bird and yelling "tweet tweet" while doing it back and forth across our yard.

Here are some of his cute new clothes that he got. I love that his pants are no longer high waders and his shirt goes all the way over his belly, and there is still room in it.

His cute cheesy smile

We had fun this morning jumping on the trampoline. I was teaching him how to do 360's...

He didn't quite get it...I but he still had a lot of fun. Plus...maybe you didn't notice, but it's SUNNY!

And his pants are a little baggy becuase they are 2T and for some reason these pants tend to sag. But look at the cute smile.

Mack had a lot of fun this weekend in St George without me, and I had a great time doing a lot of homework since it's almost the end of the semester. Oh...and me and Brad went on a date by ourselves to go see Monsters Vs. Aliens in 3D. It was pretty much AWESOME!

Oh...and I have like 23 days until I leave for Hawaii!!! So ready for a vacation!

Birthday Shoutouts!

I'd just like to wish a Happy Birthday to my Father-In-Law SCOTT today! Even though he is always spoiling Mack against my wishes, he really is a great grandpa. Never seen a grandpa melt so much as I've seen with Mack! Happy Birthday Scott!

Other Notable Birthday's coming up:
Courtney: April 6th
Erica: April 13th
Tyler Mackay: April 16th

This sure is one of those months full of birthdays!
