BLONDE!

This may be a very random post, but I just thought i'd let everyone know that I now have blonde highlights now. It's really not news since I did it over a month ago, but I find it very funny that people are still shocked when they find out. I guess I didn't spread the news. Oh well. Its just been funny since we've had a lot of company this past month from out of town and they see me the first time. I like it and will continue to put more in for as long as I can with out getting bored of it.

WEEK LONG BIRTHDAY

Week Long Birthday... Now thats something I could totally live with. I had an amazing birthday this year thanks to my wonderful friends and family and especially my amazing husband. I come from a family who loves to drag birthdays out as long as they can. Personally, I was never really into it, but I can see where its fun to celebrate for a week or however long you can get away with dragging it on. This past week was way fun for me, and I loved that there was something going on most everynight/day in celebration for my birthday. My husband SPOILED me and I loved it. Its nice to be spoiled. We started out with dinner with my husband's side of the family on Sat. night, where it kind of turned in a celebration of mine and my niece's birthday. We share the same birthday and she just turned one! HAPPY BIRTHDAY PRESLEY! Sunday night my mom had the family birthday dinner. I was spoiled by my sister and brothers. and my mom too! Monday was Labor Day and my hubby took me shopping then we went to Anniversary Inn that night. We stayed in the Twilight Meadows room. It was awesome. I love that place. I'm slowly but surely getting rooms crossed off my list. On Tuesday, My actual birthday my sister-in-law and brother-in-law took me out to dinner. Then we hung out and watched a movie and my husband surprised me by bringing home a coldstone icecream cake. He also gave me some great gifts too. I had to go back to work on Wednesday, kind of sad since I had a 5 day weekend so I guess I shouldn't complain. I went to work and found a bag with a nice water bottle and visa gift card and was also suprised with a box of chocolate covered strawberries. I went to visit my mom in law and sister in law on Friday and my sister in law surprised me with a season of Punky Brewster! I was so excited. I've been wanting to find that show. I loved it when I was younger. Totally 80's but so fun. Saturday we went to 7 Peaks water park! I love water parks. We went as a birthday thing for me and met up with some of our friends there. It was an amazing week! I feel so blessed and lucky to have such wonderful people in my life. I'm so lucky to have Paul. He's an amazing husband and I'm so thankful to have him in my life. He's also great at spoiling me! Doesn't hurt. Hope everyone has an AMAZING Summer!

VEGAS

May Happenings

My next couple of posts are out of order. Sorry. I havn't done that great with keeping up this month. No worries though, not too much is going on. It has been an interesting month though. Here are a couple highlights of our month.

We spent Mother's day with both of our moms. We went to church with my mom and spent the afternoon with her before heading over to my mother in laws for dinner. It was actually great weather that day too.

The week after school got out we took a trip to Vegas with our friends. It was so much fun. Since I'm just displaying pics here are a few highlights from our trip. We stayed at the Tahiti right off of the strip. We shared a 2 bedroom suite with some friends. Danny cooked dinner and breakfast for us most of the time we were there. We did a lot of walking and shopping and sightseeing. Paul had never been to Vegas so this was a first for him. Paul and Danny went on the New York New York rollercoaster. We also went to the shark reef aquarium, M&M store, and Coca-Cola factory. Besides going on vacation with some great friends, my favorite part was going to see the Blue Man show. It was amazing!

I've also enjoyed some time getting together with an old friend for lunch one day. We seriously took 2 1/2 hours just for lunch. It was way fun though.

I'm so looking forward to this week, even if the week started off with crappy weather. Can you believe its snowing in May? It sucks. Anyways my uncle is here for training this week. He came in last night and brought an awesome surprise. My grandma came with him! Nobody knew and so when we got there last night they had her hiding in the bathroom. My mom asked me to go grab a candle and as I opened the door my grandma was standing right there. It totally scared me, but its a great surprise. It's fun too cuz she will be here for my mom's birthday.

I hope everyone is having a great May!

School Update

I'm very excited to announce that I'm OFFICIALLY done with school! I will be able to register to take the state test in the next couple of days. I have to wait til I get authorization back to actually go take it so it will be a couple of weeks, but I can't tell you how much relief has been lifted off my shoulders to just have completed school.

Paul is also coming to the end of the semester. He has 2 finals down and one more to go. He is listed as a graduate for the commencement for this Friday May 7th and has decided not to walk. He wants to wait til he has his Doctorate to actually walk. He is graduating with two associates, one in Psychology and the other in Sociology. He will be completing his last two classes during summer semester then off to a new chapter in our lives.

This is the big and exciting news in our lives right now. We are actually going to to to VEGAS next week to celebrate! YAY for Spring and finishing school! :)

Paul's Big News!

This fall Paul will start his Bachelor program at the University of Utah. It seems like we have been waiting for this forever. I'm so excited for him! It also means he is one step closer to being done with school. Thats still a long time coming but whatever. I'm proud of him and happy we are moving on to the next step. He is definitely a hard worker. CONGRATULATIONS!

CELEBRATIONS

I just want to say that I had an amazing weekend. It started off just right with going out to lunch with a friend that I've only seen a couple of times since middle school. I love getting together and catching up with old friends.
Saturday Paul and I went to Logan to celebrate our anniversary. I just have to say that I have the most amazing husband ever and am so grateful to have found him. We got a room at Anniversary Inn. That is one of our favorite places to go when we need a quick get away. We stayed in the La Hacienda. It was huge, colorful, and quiet. The room had a intelli Gel king size bed. I don't think i've ever slept better. We also had a nice tub and huge shower. The jets in the bath had a light show. It was cool. We also went to the Blue Bird for dinner. We love that place. We were sad to go home, but we had one more thing to celebrate. We had a birthday dinner for my Brother-in-law at my moms house. His actual birthday is today. HAPPY BIRTHDAY JJ! I'm glad you are part of our family. Thanks for making Sarah happy and for being such a great father to your children. Life is great and I'm glad that we were able to have a fun weekend.
