California here we come....

I'm super excited. We are going to Cali tomorrow! This vacation has been something we've been looking forward to forever. I so can't wait. I'll try to keep the blog updated or I can just do a big post when I come back. We'll see what we have time for. I still have to post some pictures of the cake that our friend made for Paul's birthday. I promise to get them up eventually. It was a fun cake for Paul. We just had our pictures done this past weekend so once I get them back I'll have a lot of new pics to post. Paul is happy to be done with the semester. He got a better grade than he thought he would in biology and we are happy about that. He ended the semester on a good note. I hope everyone is having a wonderful May. So happy for the spring and the amazing weather.

All Showered Out...and more

So the month of May is starting out to be a very busy one for Paul and I. I'm glad the last month went by as quickly as it did, cuz i'm so ready for spring and summer and for our vacation to Cali next week. The countdown began a month ago. Paul is happy to be done with school this week. He has his finals on Thursday then will be done with the semester. Yea!
The next month will be really eventful for us. It actually started last week. I have a cousin getting married at the end of the month. We had a shower for his fiance last week when she came to town. It was fun getting to know her.I also went to my sister-in-laws baby shower. Its their first girl! I'm so excited to have another niece. Then this week, I have a shower for my sister who is getting married in June. But it gets even better... I have another sister getting married in June and her shower is next Tuesday. So now you can tell why i'm all showered out. Not only that the first week of June we will have my dad's family in town. My little brother graduates and my sister is getting married. This summer is full of weddings. After the June weddings I have a sister in law getting married in July. I'm so excited for my sisters and sister-in-law. I'm actually looking forward to all these events. It means most of my family will be in Utah this summer. I love when we get a visit from my Iowa family. Hope everyone has a good May!

Administrative Professionals Day

Not only is today Earth Day, but it is also Administrative Professionals Day. I didn't really think anything of it, I mean its really not a big deal. Right? Well I got a nice little surprise. I went to grab my check book out of my purse and found a card. It was a thank you card and a gift card from the physical therapy dept. I know its not a huge deal, but it is definitely nice to feel appreciated and to actually be thanked for everything you do at work. It was a great lift me up today. I honestly can't ask for a better place to work or for better people. I just passed my 2 year anniversary here and i'm still loving my job. Its nice to have a job that you don't dread going to. Thanks Jill and Bill for making me feel appreciated.

editing and collages...

To all my wonderful friends and family who know how to edit pictures to make them look just right and who know how to make collages, I am so wanting to learn how to make the fun collages to post on the blog so my pictures don't go every which way and to be able to share a lot in just a small amount of space. For those that know how can you please help me. Write me back and give me step by step directions. That would be very much appreciated. Thanks for all your help. Have a great night.

4 wonderful years and counting























Today Paul and I have been able to celebrate our 4th anniversary. I can't believe how much time has passed. I thought that I would share some of our wedding pictures and some of us through out the years. We have had some amazing times. During our 4 years of marriage we have lived in Sandy Utah. We both work full time. I work at the SMART Clinic and Paul works and Kinkos and is also a full time student. We have been able to go on a few vacations and a couple of cruises. If not on a cruise one of our favorite vacations is California and DisneyLand. We have been at least once a year since we've been married. Its amazing to look at my wedding day pictures then and how we look now. It looks to me like we've grown up some. Marriage has changed both of us and we have grown quite a bit together. I'm so thankful to have Paul in my life. I'm so glad I have eternity with him. We have made great memories and have many more to make. I'm anxious to be able to start my family with him. I'm also glad that we had WONDERFUL weather on our wedding day. In Utah, you just never know. I wish I had pictures to compare it with, but today was just crappy weather. It was raining all morning then turned to snow! Can you believe that? Its April it should be spring and warm. After lunch as I was driving back to work I could swear I was driving in a white out. You couldn't see anything. I'm glad it stopped, but it just made me glad that everything was warm, sunny, and perfect 4 years ago.

APRIL FOOLS!

SO, Mother Nature decided to play her own April Fools trick on us. We woke up to a white out at home today! Its not winter anymore. We are supposed to have our warm weather. I guess I kind of spoke too soon with my post about Spring. At least we have something to look forward too. Utah weather is definitely unpredictable. I wish I had pictures to post. Of course by now its slowed down and is actually starting to clear up. I didn't realize how bad it was while driving to work. It didn't seem that bad until I came up to our office and realized that I couldn't see the high school across the street from us. That right there tells me it was a white out. I hope winter weather will go away. We are so looking forward to spring and warmer weather. Hopefully this little prank of Mother Natures won't last that long. Hope everybody is having a good day. Bye.
