~So much to do, so little time!~

I feel like every time I post something new, I have to apologize for not posting for a while.  I figure I'd skip that part and get to the point here.  These past few weeks have been very hectic, but really fun.   Wedding plans, work, trying to fit a little play time in, and we just bought a house!  Who buys a house 4 weeks before they get married?  We do!  Extra stress....bring it on!  23 more days until the big day!  I can't wait.  Here are a few pictures from our engagement photo shoot.  They were taken out at the great salt lake marina.  It was so beautiful.  This cool Navajo guy named Pajo let us borrow his little sail boat to take pics. 

Enjoy! 

I can't wait to marry this boy in 23 days!

~happy trails~

We are headed to Zion National Park Thursday for Mindy and Jared's wedding.  We will hike 2 1/2 miles for the ceremony, and have dinner at the Spotted Dog Cafe at Flannigans.  Let the festivities begin!

~School's out for the winter!~

I officially don't have to work for two weeks and I can't wait to party! This month has been crazy with birthdays, Christmas parties, etc.  Here are a few pictures of the past 20 days! The pictures at the bottom are a Christmas party I went to at Zermatt Resort up in Midway.

Well, it's official.  I think I am the worst " blogger"out there.  My life is so busy and I never have time to update, but here are a few things as of late.  My birthday was on December 2nd and it was a PERFECT day! I went to work, my mom and sister took me to lunch, then they brought my whole class rootbeer floats.  They were such a hit with the kindergarteners!  When I got home I decided I needed a little pampering so I got a manicure and a pedicure.  Then, that night I went to dinner with my mom and sisters at Macaroni Grill.  We always do the girl thing on my birthday.  We had a blast with no kids! I got to celebrate my birthday for almost a whole week-thanks to family and friends! It was a good 24th birthday! (Can you believe I'm that old?) Sheesh! Where does time go??? My pictures aren't uploading right now, but I will post some soon!

~I think hell froze over~

Because I GOT A NEW CAR!!! I never thought the day would come when I was able to buy myself a new car! (It's used, but new to me!) No more Audi.  I'll admit, it wasn't really a sad day when I got rid of my old car. Thank you new job! (Sorry I just have to be a bit prideful for a minute because most of you know the lovely car I was driving before).

~Halloween Party Time!~

Every year, our family does a little Halloween party.  My amazing "chef" mother made homemade chili and minestrone soup.  Yummy!

~She said YES! ~

Last weekend, Jared proposed to my sister Mindy at the top of a mountain in Zion called "Guardian Angel."  Doubt there is a better name of a mountain to get proposed to than this!  We are so excited to have him be a part of our family and we are so happy for you two!  Congratulations Mindy and Jared!
