My Barbie Jeep

Last week my hubby and I finally bought our second car! :) After sharing one car for the first three years of our marriage, we decided that it was about time that we buy my "mom car." Haha....and nope, I'm not preggo yet, but at least when the time is right...I'll be a little more prepared. :) Speaking of, it'll be so nice when I can actually buckle up my little baby in the back seat of my barbie jeep. Lucky for me, I get to go to the gyno next week!!! Woopdideedoo! ;) So NOT excited for that, but hopefully I'll get some answers of what's going on and maybe some treatment options to be able to have a baby one day...just gotta keep the faith, right? But anyways, for family night on Monday night, Jared and I drove my car up the Provo canyon to test out the four wheel drive & it was so much fun! :) It'll be so nice to have that feature when the winter comes, too! And it was so nice to catch the sunset once we got to the top of the lookout point! All of the colors of the sky & the lights from the town were just beautiful!! As we drove back home, we were listening to a bunch of comedians on the "Sirius" satellite radio & decided that we really need to see a comedian show! Lol..it was a fun night! Here are a few pics :)

Picture crazy :)

So I'm obsessed with my phone and the camera capabilities! :) I started off just taking a few pics around our apartment, to always keep record of where we've lived...at least starting now, capturing things in their time & then thought it'd be fun to take pics of things that I'm interested in and hobbies that I have.  I'm definitely NOT a professional when it comes to photography...but I can tell it will soon become an obsession, especially with the Instigram app! ;)

A picture says a thousand words...

My husband is a hard working man! Yesterday was Part of Pioneer Day weekend and Jared was put on call. :(. In this pic, we were at Costco on a date & he got "the call" to go into work. We are SO grateful for his job...don't get me wrong...but by being the new guy, he's definitely working crazy hours! Gotta start somewhere though, right? Let's just say that I cannot WAIT for this weekend, being his first weekend off since he started on June 1st!! We're going to have the BEST time just being together! :D. I'm so grateful for him and all of his hard work for me and our future family. <3

Relaxing Sunday with the fam :)

It was so fun having my parents come down to PG today! I usually come up north to visit them from time to time, but we decided to switch it up today. :)

Trying to figure out how to post a pic from my cell phone to blogger...sorry my posts are so weird! Lol

Got my iPhone 4 yesterday and have been trying to figure it out. It was always annoying posting on my blog without knowing how to post any pics. Crossing fingers that I hope it works! :). I haven't written in a normal diary in who knows how long! So I decided to post from here as my journal entry for a change & it will be a little more exciting being able to post pics with my entries! :) I love this phone! Lol...

Blessings

I'm SO excited, I can't contain myself!! My hubby worked his tail off and it's paid off! :-) We just found out today that he got the job with Rocky Mountain Power, in Utah!!! Can I hear a WOOT WOOT? We've been waiting for this opportunity for a while now and I'm SO stoked! It feels so surreal at this moment! I feel that I need to be pinched so that I can wake up! Lol....I'm so proud of Jared and all of his hard work that got him to this point. He's amazing!
So yeah, that's about it! :-) Now we need to figure out where we're going to live, in the next 2 1/2 weeks!! AHH! It's crunch time. My next post will be from Utah! :-) Can't wait!! Night 'yall!

Birthday Fun!

Yesterday I celebrated my 24th birthday! I remember when my oldest sister Heather turned 25 thinking how ancient she was ;) Well, I guess I can breathe a sigh of relief since I'm not quite "ancient" yet. Lol...jk to all those of you over 25. ;) But it's crazy thinking that you're almost a quarter century old! Hmmm...no likey. However, I've learned a lot in my 24 years of life! I've also been very blessed with the life I've been given. I hope to grow and experience much more in my next 76 years. ;) Maybe this will be the year that Jared and I will get to move back to Utah! :) Maybe this will be the year we buy our first house!! I cant wait to be my own "interior designer!" I already have plans of what I want to do with my future house! :) And maybe, just maybe we'll be blessed with a baby and make our family of two, three. These are some of my goals this next year...or the years to come. :) I've been SO blessed with the life I have already though. I have an amazing family, I have the BESTEST hubby in the WORLD that treats me like his queen and best friend and I've been blessed with the MOST amazing friends a girl could have, that love me...even with my A.D.D attributes. ;) Lol..I love you guys! :) I'm also SO grateful to be LDS. :) My faith gives me purpose and strength every day and I really would be lost without it. And one last thing, I'm SO grateful for my country! I'm so lucky and priveledged to be able to live in a FREE country! I've always loved Europe, it's elegance and finding out my heritage through geneology work, and those who we're related to...which is way fun to find out. :) And I'd love to visit some of the areas over there where family was from, but I'll never be more PROUD of my ancestors that decided to "high tail" it out of Europe and come here, to the land of the free, so that they could have the freedom to worship who they wanted and not be punished for it! Sorry, I just love geneology. ;) But thanks to those ancestors, I can live free and so can my family, future family and their posterity. :) I'm grateful for all of the service men and women who protect our freedom every day! THANK YOU! :) There's only one expression that I can describe the feelings in my heart. Gratitude. :) Its a good feeling! It's like that Martina McBride song "I have been blessed." It's a good one and will leave you feeling happy. :) They say happiness is contageous, so pass it on. :) Ok, now I'll get to my Birthday. :) It was awesome! I got a lot of cute cards in the mail from family and friends and fun phone calls. :) Then, when the Mr. came home we went out to dinner @ Me N' Eds Pizza and had their Hot Hawiian. It was DELICIOUS!! *Choir of angels singing* haha. Then, we came home and unwrapped presents. I loved all the cute clothes and lotions...but my cute little iPod shuffle thinggy in bubble gum pink was my favorite. :) I've been getting a little repetative to Jared about getting a shuffle, because I've been running with my iPod, and it's all heavy and stuff....so this shuffle is amazing, because it just clicks onto my shirt or pants and is completely hands free. I love it. :) I love to jog and now the experience will be more exciting. :) YAY! Then the finale of the evening came with Jared's homemade chocolate cake and store bought cookie dough ice cream. Mmmm mmm good! Lol...but yeah, he seriously made it from scratch! (Except for the frosting) ;) And it was Soooooo good! Good job Bubba! :) It was a fantastic birthday! :) And I thank all of my amazing friends and family for making it that way. :) Thank you! Now bring on the weekend for more birthday celebration with the fam!! :) Can't wait!
