House Hunters!

Gar and I have decided that since the housing market is so low right now, it is a perfect time to start looking to buy a house. We absolutely love the house that we are in now, however, it is small and eventually we will need something bigger. We got approved for a loan and got our realtor last week. We aren't in a huge hurry or anything. We just want to get a really good deal. We put a few bids in on some houses in grantsville the past week. We are just the backup bidders though because there are already bids on the houses we like. It could be a very long process but we aren't in a hurry! We are anxious to see what happens in the next few months!

Nothing to Complain About!

So far 2010 has been a great year! I was worried about Garrett and I juggling both school and work and thought it was going to be very stressful. So far it has been great and I am loving all my classes! I am so glad to be back in school. I feel so much smarter and it reminds me of how much i really do love learning. School is definately different since i changed my degree now. I was used to all these biology and health classes and now i am taking english, humanities and arts! Way different! I think Garrett has been procrastinating with his school work a little bit since all of his are online but i know he will get everything done. His classes are a lot harder than mine.

Work is work... I love my job but i know i can't do it for the rest of my life, especially full time. I really just want to be a mom here in a few years and stay home with my kids but i know that i need my degree. Gar and I both get our school paid for so we won't have any debt with school which is so nice.

Lately Gar and I have been having so much fun hanging out with friends and family. He went to work tonight, which made me really sad :( He is the most amazing husband in the world. He is always making me happy and his kindness and love for the gospel amazes me. I am so glad i found my eternal companion and can't wait for the years to come. I love my life and HAVE NOTHING TO COMPLAIN ABOUT!!!

No Time to Waste in 2010!

2009 was a great year for Garrett and I. We got engaged, married, went to hawaii and have been enjoying our first few months of marriage together! 2009 will be hard to beat but we are excited about the new year! We are going to be very busy this year. Garrett is working his crazy schedule at EG&G and I an working full time as head assistant at Grantsville Family Dental Monday-Thursday. (I finally got fridays off!) I am so thankful for Garretts job but i get SO sick of his shift work! i hate when he is gone at night. i cant sleep and i am super paranoid.

We both start school this week at the Utah State extension in Tooele. Garrett is in the business program and i am finishing up my generals and will be going into business as well. Yep, i switched my degree from Dental Hygiene. Dental Hygiene is hard work and the waiting list is 3 years!!! i am too impatient for that. I am kinda stressing out about going to school and working full time. Our lives are already so chaotic, throwing school into the mix could be scary.

We had a great time celebrating our last weekend before school starts! We went shopping, hung out with our good friends Ryan and Kate, saw sherlock holmes and spent time with family! I LOVE when Garrett has weekends off. We always have a lot of fun spending time together!

Tis' The Season!!!

Well, i'm a little late blogging about thanksgiving but i will do it anyway. On Thanksgiving day we had dinner at my parents house with my grandparents and then we went over to grandma joyces for dessert and to visit with everyone. We had a lot of fun with all the family and it was so good to be with everyone. Thanksgiving night garrett and i set up our christmas decorations including the christmas tree! it was so much fun and i loved decorating it. Friday i got to experience black friday with my mother and sister in law. it was CRAZY, however, i did find some really good deals. I just love the hollidays and knowing that i get to spend time with family!

Oh ya... and garrett got me a treadmill for christmas. He set it up for me and everything because he knew he couldnt hide it from me ;) i love using it!

Happy Birthday to ME!!!

Last friday was my 20th birthday... and garrett did a perfect job at making my birthday one to remember! He planned a surprise weekend getaway to park city! we left on friday morning and when we got to park city we saw NEW MOON!!! it was SO GOOD! he is such a good hubby to take me to because i know he isn't too into those kind of movies! After new moon we checked into our hotel at the Westgate Resort in the Canyons. It was such a nice hotel! Our room had a kitchen, 2 big tvs and a steam room in the shower :) Gar took me to Park City Pizza Co. for dinner and then we went back to the hotel and got into the hot tub!!! On saturday we did A TON of christmas shopping! we are pretty much done christmas shopping! we spent a little too much money but it feels good knowing that we are done!!! Saturday night we went hot tubbing again and watched some movies! Sunday we went for a drive and then drove home through provo canyon. i had an amazing birthday! i have the best hubby in the world and want to thank him for being so amazing!

our little family and home sweet home!

I have been really bad at blogging lately. Gar and i have been so busy, and it is going to get worse when we both start going back to school next semester. All we have been doing lately is WORKING!!! i have to admit that i love my job but working full time every day can get old really fast! I just got promoted to head assistant and a good raise comes with it so that is a plus! I thought i would post some pics of our little puppy coop... i know we are lame but he really is our baby! Also, im putting up some pics of our house... except for our room.

He decided to climb in our laundry basket and take a nap! my mom bought him a sweater for halloween that says "lil devil" coopers first time seeing snow! our happy family! living/family room bathroom havn't done much with this room yet! kitchen

We love our little house and we are so blessed to be living in such a nice place!

Sick as a Dog!!!

So for the past few weeks i havn't been feeling that great and i kept getting major headaches. over the weekend it has been getting worse ans worse. my throat hurts, my head hurts, my ears hurt and i have a terrible cough. last night i was so sick so i called my boss telling him i cant come to work because i am going to the doctor (today.) he says thats fine and tells me one of the other assistants has swine flu! yuck! so i went to the doctor today and i have a sinus infection!!! and to top it off i cant go back to work until wednesday!!! I am glad i have such a great boss who understands that i need some rest! also, my wonderful hubby has been a great nurse. he goes to the store and gets me medicine and rubs my back! I am still feeling pretty crappy but hopefully i will get feeling better soon with my meds!
