Hectic..

Today has been such a long and hectic day. I had to work all day and then staying up with my New Years resolutions I decided to make some dinner. I made Mexican Casserole tonight it is one of mine and Jareds favorite I got from my Mom. After that we had to go see Jareds Family. Jared's Aunt who lives in Mexico passed away today. So it was kind of a sad visit, and we were trying to figure out the best option to get a lot of Jareds Dad's family back to Mexico. We didn't stay to long to find out what they decided to do but hopefully everything will work out and Jareds dad will be able to go see his Sister one last time.

But on a lighter note I am getting a little anxious about school I still have a few things to do before schools starts next Monday, and I hope I can still keep up with working both jobs and studying... we will see how it goes, and hopefully today isn't a sign of the week to come so I can have one more week before all I do is work, school, and sleep!

Jareds New Toy

Today has been a pretty good day. I didn't have to work so I took down all the Christmas decorations and cleaned up the house. Jared had to work all day but he couldn't waite until he got off because he was going to pick up his new toy! Jared's new toy is a guitar. He has been bugging me and telling everyone that that is what he wanted for Christmas. I guess being the mean wife that I am I said um... No! I told him I didn't think it would last and then it would just be a waist of money cuz they are pretty expensive. So after I told him no, I guess he turned to the next person who would get him a guitar and that was his Mom! So of course for Christmas that is exactly what Jared received from his mom. Well the one that his mom bought him was a kit type thing from Hastings and Jared had been looking around and found one at KSM that he really wanted and it was cheaper, and better quality of course! To make a long story short he traded the guitars and now today he can finally start learning to play the guitar! I hope that he really sticks to it and will learn to play because his Mom told me today that I better make sure he practices because she wants him to play for her! So I am here to bug him everyday to practice! (Maybe I will try and teach myself a few songs). You could tell he was really excited and happy to finally get a guitar and start learning something new!

Here are some pictures of my cute Hubby with his brand new Guitar!

Happy New Year!!

Well I can't believe that December has come and gone so fast, and now we are already in the new year! Well sense I have not blogged in quite some time I will Catch you up on the Holiday fun that we had this year!

This year was mine and Jared's first Christmas together as a married couple! It was really fun to celebrate the whole entire Holidays together! This Christmas my sister Kami and her family came to visit during Christmas. They got here the Monday before Christmas and they just left back to warm Arizona today (I wish I could have went with them!). But when my Sister, Ryan, Kade, and Kamryn got here we did alot of hanging out cuz I never get to see them. I didn't have to work hardly at all the first week that they were here so I had loads of fun playing with my neice and nephew and catching up with Kami and Ryan.

On Christmas Eve I had to work in the morning and after that Jared and I stopped by my parents house before going to celebrate Christmas Eve with Jareds family. When we went to Jareds we had a great big yummy dinner, played games, opened presents, they even had a little dance party oh and we even had a fun gingerbread house contest. We drew names for his family, but we ended up just getting everyone a little something. After the long night of staying up late and opening presents we went and slept over at my Parents and opened presents in the morning! I have to say I had a great Christmas! Here are some pictures I remembered to take. I didn't get any of us opening gifts at my parents.

And now I can't believe that is already 2010 but I think I am ready for it. I have never really made any resolutions.... so this is the year, and I am pretty excited for what I have in store for this new year. Here are some of my resolutions I hope I can stick to all year long.

-Blogging Everyday for the whole year! (something me and Kami are doing together!)

-Getting in Shape/Eating better

-Running a 5k (hopefully with my mom and sister!)

-Making Dinner more often

-Finish my moms recipe book that I probably started 5 yrs ago!

-Start going to Church

-Being a better Scrapbooker

Those are all I can think of now and I seriously hope I can stick to them! I think now that I have told everyone what I want to do I will be more determined to complete my new goals! Here we go 2010!!

How time flies...

I know it has been such a long time sence I have gotton to blog it seems like I am always too busy or too tired, those are always my excuses, but today I had a nice day off of both jobs and i finally got some things done that I have been wanting to do and updating my blog was one of them.

Well sence the last time I blogged alot of fun events have happened I turned the big 21 on the 14th of November. Kasey came over on Friday night and brought some pizza and we just hung out at my house. Then Saturday Jared went and bought me breakfast and came home with balloons and then he insisted that before I got ready for the day I had to open my presents. I had a feeling it was going to be clothes cuz I always complain that I have nothing to wear haha and I was right. He gave me a cute sweater and a shirt with some shoes. The shoes I had to return but everything else was perfect and I loved my gift now one of my favorite outfits. Kasey also gave me a cute Christmas decoration. We were both talking about how we don't have that many Christmas decorations so she knew just what to get me it is so cute I love it. Then on Saturday afternoon we went to lunch with Jared's family and my favorite resturant Cafe Sabor and then hit the mall to go shopping. That night we went to dinner and a movie. I had a great Birthday and thanks everyone for all the birthday wishes. My parents were gone once agian this year for my birthday. They were in Arizona visiting my sister and her cute family I was jeliouse that I wasn't there and sad they weren't all her to celebrate with me. I got my presents from them on Thrusday night and they gave me some cute boots, a clock, and a new sweater dress! Here are some pictures of my Birthday.

Well exactly a week from my Birthday it was my cute niece Betzahi's Birthday. She turned eight years old this year and we are so happy she chose to get baptized and Saturday was a very speacial day for her. She got baptized at the Logan Tabernacle and following her baptism she had a party at the church house. She has so many friends and she is such a cute little girl. There were so many funny events at her birthday party we all had such a good time. Jared and I gave her a Shirt and a Beading kit. But she was so excited for her shirt because she got a movie ticket from her aunt and uncle; Jessica and Ceasar. The movie ticket was too New Moon and she got to go to the movie that night with Me and Jared, Jessica and Ceasar, and Kim. I have a picture and you will see why she was so excited for her shirt! Here are some other pictures of the birthday girl and her fun party!

Other then those couple of events me and Jared have just been keeping busy with school and work. He is almost done with this semester and I am excited he will finally be getting a break from school! We are excited for the holidays and once I am done decorating for christmas I'll post some pictures!

Already Missing Carter....

Yesterday was a sad day... My family's dog Carter had to be put to sleep. He had cancer and wasn't doing so good, so my parents decided it was time for him to be put to sleep because he just couldn't do anything and would probably feel alot better, he just looked so sick it was so sad. It is going to be so weird going up to my parents house and not have a big old dog there to welcome you. It will feel just a little bit lonely up there but he is in a better place. The good thing about it is that my Dad got to take Carter Boy up to my Gradparents ranch and bury him with my Dads old dog that he grew up with Lady. I thought that was pretty special and I think he would appreciate it alot. Just a couple memories I have about Carter is I remember the day my sister brought him home from Wal-mart when they used to always sell puppies in front when you walk in. My Dad wasn't too happy about Bree bringing him home but of course everyone fell in love with him and he pretty much became a member of our family from that day on. Carter did get in trouble alot but only because he thought he was human too and he thought he should get whatever we got especially if it was food or to be laying in a comfortable spot either on the couch or on a bed is where you would find him if you were the first one home when everyone had been gone for the day. It will be weird not having a dog beacuse we have had him for so many years and now I want a dog even more because I can't go see Carter and get my puppy fix for the day. But I will post some better pictures of Carter as soon as I can they are all at my Moms but the one at the top. He is in a much better place and he will be missed by so many of us!

Lovin' Lazy Sundays...

I am so glad it is Sunday, I definatly don't want Monday to come it just means another long week of work, work, and more work. But I was glad I had today off I finally got some things done that I have been wanting to do, like taking down all the Halloween decorations and putting some new stuff up that we bought. Jared started putting it up a while ago but it wasn't exatly straight so he has been so busy with work and school to fix it I had to take matters into my own hands and hung our decor all by myself. I fixed it and it looks great! Now I want to put a quote or something underneath in vinyl but I am not quite sure what to put so any cute ideas let me know.. its in the kitchen/diningroom which I think makes it a little harder. But that is another thing on my TO DO list. I also got most of the house cleaned, did some laundry and I also made dinner... I don't do it enough I just suck at it but today it was pretty good so I just need to keep practicing my cooking.

So some exciting news is I am registerd for Spring Semester at USU. I am excited to go back right now but I am sure I won't like it too much once it starts. I have finally decided what I want to do so it does make it a little more exciting to go to school now that I found something I want to do. This weekend was pretty relaxing I only had to work Saturday so it has been a great relaxing break, and Jared and I went on a little date to Ruby Tuesdays last night which he has been dying to go to and then just came home and watched a movie. We finally had some time to be together this weekend and it was so fun! But for now its back to the work week...

So Long October

October has come and gone so fast I had so many things I wanted to do this month, but I didn't get a whole lot done. I was so excited to start decorating and celebrating the upcoming holidays with Jared in our new house. I was planning on carving pumpkins, figuring out costumes for Jared and me, handing out candy to the trick-or-treaters and making more holiday decorations for our new home. Well I didn't get to most of these the things which I am sad about but the things I got around to were; I made a Halloween decoration for our home (which I stole the cute idea from my sister Kami!) And maybe handed out candy to like 7 trick-or-treaters which is weird because our house is in a pretty busy area and I can always here kids playing outside and now I have all this candy that I am going to eat now which isn't good even though I love candy. So my October festivities didn't go as planned especially sence Jared had to work overnight at Wal-mart on Halloween so we just went and saw our nieces and nephew and just hung out until he had to go to work. I was bad again and didn't get any pictures of anyone on Halloween but I'll take a picture of my decoration and try and be better about taking pictures. Hopefully I can get alot more things done this month then last. I can't figure out how to move this picture to the bottom but that is the decoration I made for Halloween.
