...it's been a long long time...

Wow!! I can't believe it has been this long since I have posted!! How time flies...I am trying to think of what has been going...lots of stuff. Drill Team basically consumes my life and now I am working at Pingree so I make a triangle of the SLC valley...WVC to Draper to Sugar House...fun stuff!! Our Summer was great! Most of July I was gone to Dance Camp, Dance Camp, an amazing adventure to Sun Valley, ID, and Lake Powell (my first time). Nothing really new is happening in our life's besides school! Brandon has class 3 nights a week and I have decided to bite off a little more and take 9 credits at SLCC so I can (cross your fingers) get into the MSW program at the University of Utah!! I guess I will just share some of my fun moments of the Summer...I have many, but just for documentation sake I will post about a few!! We always have a blast with friends...love them!!MMMM...where to begin. I think in my ripe old age of 24 (soon to be 25 WTH) I am slowly starting to lose my mind, memory, parts of my body that I didn't know existed have started to take shape, and to top it off...I have ACNE. I have never had acne. I stress about which probably causes more acne to appear and I pick the shiz out of my face...constantly!! Sorry for my brief off topic subject!! On to some of the Summer!!!

  • Well B-Dawg and myself celebrated our 2nd anniversary...it was so fun! We ate at Metropolitan, went on a carriage ride, and basically just had fun being together!! I am very lucky to have Brandon in my life and I sure love him like crazy!!
  • Sun Valley, ID. I LOVE it there! I am starting to look forward to this trip. We go every year with the Pro. dance company I am on. We get to have a little fun, be creative and interact with a fun fun crowd!! This year one of our dances was a Jungle Theme!! It was so much fun!! I was a bird...go JuLaine for putting together a awesome costume in like 2 days. She is quite amazing if I do say so myself!! This year some of the hot mama's on the team brought their children to participate...it was awesome!! I loved just spending time with the funniest group of girls...meeting LeBron James (highlight) and starting the drive home at 9:00 p.m. to be home in time to drive to LP the very next morning!! It was a blast!!
  • Went to Lake Powell for the very first time... was an idiot and didn't take my camera. It was very fun to play in the sand and sun!!
  • I have an awesome Drill Team that I have been spending so much time with. I love it, I think the world of them. They are probably way sick of seeing my face...we have been together ALOT!!
  • Another highlight of the Summer was deciding to apply to the MSW program AGAIN (damn Business grades) contacting the MSW director, having him tell me that I should take some Psych. classes, Soc classes, etc. Wonderful, welcome to College again. The best part of all of this is that I applied to SLCC two weeks ago on Saturday, was accepted that Tuesday, and registered for classes that Wednesday. That is a sweet deal!! The even better part of it is that I am taking a class called Intro to Sexuality...ha ha this will be graphic...WARNING...I got my book on Saturday. I went home to the LBC for the weekend and as my mom and I are sitting at Dixie Grill waiting for our food, I decided to take a gander at this Intro to Sexuality book since the cover has provocative arms on the cover...I just open the book, slip my finger into the unknown pages and BAAAAM I didn't see just one, not even just two, but three...count them 1 2 3 real life pictures of VAGINA'S (part of life I understand, just not what I was expecting)!! My heart raced because you see at the drive in at Dixie Grill the passenger can order and I was the passenger...scared for my life that these little high schoolers saw through their window what I just saw I closed the book as fast as I could. Then of course it peeked our crazy personalities of what was in this book...man, this class is going to be entertaining. I am kind of bummed out that it is online...so many posts I am sure to come about this fun class!!
Our Summer was full of fun...I will be glad when Brandon is out of school so we can actually go somewhere!! Well I am tired...this getting up at 4:50 a.m. everyday is hitting me right now...until next time, hopefully not a 3 month next time!! Hope all is well with everyone out there!!

...729 days almost 730...this will be a novel...sorry

I can't believe that Brandon and I have almost been married for TWO YEARS!! Where did the time go...it has been such a great ride so far, I am SO SO excited to see what is in store for us. I love him to pieces and I just can't get enough of him:) When we were driving home from Mother's Day dinner tonight I was thinking back to 2 years ago to May 10 and what we were doing, how I was feeling blah blah. It is crazy how I can pretty much remember the entire night before...so for my memory booking purposes you can take a little stroll down memory lane with me (sorry all in good fun). So this could be a jumbled mess...but it is my fun mess of the night before our wedding...
I remember we had to have his motorcycle at my sugarhouse house (shedding a tear right now because I miss that place so much) so I rode with him to his parents house where we left his truck drove the motorcycle back to SLC parked it at my place so Tyler (B's little brother) would be able to drive it to the Huntsman Hospital for our departure after the reception. Brandon was left without a car so bless his heart he got to deal with me and all of my anxiety:) We took the SAAB to the Marriott Hotel where my family and myself would be staying, parked it, loaded my mom's 4Runner and headed to The Point where we dropped off all of the pictures, the candy bar, my mother's awesome table runners...pretty much we dropped off everything. At this point I was scared to death...not to get married, but I was scared if the reception was going to be pretty or not!!! We got back to the Marriott where my entire family was waiting anxiously to head to dinner...We enjoyed a nice dinner at PF Changs (where I don't think I ate much) and then walked back to the hotel...realizing Brandon did not have a car.
We offered to drive him back like 1000 times but he insisted that he would ride trax??? SERIOUSLY Brandon!!! It was late!! And we would NEVER let him do that...silly boy!! Well we were about to drive him home when his dad called and was still at work at the wee hours of the night so he picked his first born baby boy up:) We said our goodbye's (kiss kiss). I headed up to our room where everyone was hanging out...somehow everyone slowly disappeared and we headed to bed. My cute Abby stayed in our room where she literally rubbed and tickled my back for however long Stomp the Yard is on (yes that was the movie I chose to have my Mom and Grandma buy over the TV to calm my nerves and YES I still LOVE Chris Brown) to this day I am so thankful for my sweet Abby for being so nice and for my mom and grandma staying up with me to watch Stomp the Yard:) Somehow I fell asleep and remember going and laying next to my mother just thinking about our amazing journey together (me & my mom) and how excited we were to gain another member in our family!!!
I wondered all morning if Brandon would be there when I got there...I got ready all on my own because I knew I would be too nervous to have anybody touching me (you know when you could do something over about your wedding...this would be it. I should have been spoiled and had somebody do my hair and make-up...oh well such as life, I am the type that it would have stressed me out) So fast forwarding through everyone getting ready together:) We are very late to the Temple where bless his heart Brandon had thought I bailed!! It makes me sad because I don't really remember much of our wedding day, I mean I do, but I don't...does that make sense?? I do remember changing my clothes for the lunch in the Temple parking lot where I was through my sun roof while Brandon tried to get my enormous slip off...I bet that was fun for all the Temple goers that day:) I do remember how incredible the day was (although hot) it is something very special that I will...well actually I think about it all of the time!! Our wedding day was beautiful we could not have asked for a better day. Our ring ceremony was awesome...we had the love and support of our family and friends. It was a celebration...we danced, laughed, DANCED some more, and just enjoyed being together!!! Our past 2 years have been very special and fun!! Brandon has made me a better person and to quote my new favorite musical..."Because I knew you...I have been changed for good". Sappy I know...but I love the guy:) Happy 2 years!!!

***If you made it through all of that you are quite a trooper*** I just found this picture and it makes me laugh so hard. On CL you get to do a dance with you dad at the end of the year. YES...Brandon was my daddy:)

...defy gravity...

Brandon and I have been so busy!! My mom scored us some Wicked tickets a few weeks ago...all I can say is that I was truly touched (literally the CD has not left my car since I downloaded it on April 30 which was the day after I saw it) !!! I think it is the best musical I have seen, I wish I could live in the world of Oz:) "It's time to trust my instincts, close my eyes....and LEAP"
Also today is Mother's Day!! WOOT WOOT. We just had a great and special day with our mothers and grandmothers. We had a wonderful breakfast with Brandon's family. We are so lucky to have incredible mothers in our life after spending some time with Brandon's mother who I love and think the world of we headed to dinner with my family!! I love celebrating our mothers, grandmothers...all the women that made us who we are today!! I love my mama to pieces...she is the best!! I have 3 very special women in my life...my mother, my "G" or grandma, and my Auntie Tara Jo!! These women have made me who I am today and I just love them to the moon and back:) This day is to you!!!

...vegas...

We just got back from sunny LAS VEGAS and boy was I bummed to come home!! At least it is beautiful outside finally!! We had such a great time!! This trip began a few months ago when Brandon was like..."We can stay in Vegas at the Tropicana for $90.00 a night" so to that I said "Let's do it"!! Well it turned out that our buddies Wade and Chad would be there for The Killers concert and Schmieg and Sam were going to go too so we made it a little getaway!! SO FUN!!! So we headed down Friday once we got to our hotel we had a little unexpected SURPRISE...

YES...those are mirrors on our ceiling!! Only in VEGAS baby and probably only at the Tropicana!! I think I laughed for 10 min. straight...I thought it was hilarious!! Not only were there mirrors on the ceiling (on no) they were on the headboard, the wall, and then the standard mirror by the TV...mirrors were EVERYWHERE!!That night everyone headed to The Killers concert and me and Brandon headed to see KA!! It was amazing!! I loved every second of it, it was the most visual stage I have ever seen!! I highly recommend it!! After the show Brandon and I headed to the Coke factory and experienced the tastes around the world...most were pretty gross!! Brandon decided to make the suicide drinks of all suicide drinks and mixed them all together...needless to say he thought it was pretty good. The next day we all headed to the pool for a bit, hung out and lounged!! It was great...Chad and Wade headed home:( and the rest of us got ready and headed out to the Shark Reef aquarium and walked the strip!! I am so mad at myself for not getting a group picture...what the heck...oh well, Vegas was great!!

...it's been awhile...

WARNING: If easily offended...probably skip this post!!! But it is a FUN one!!!
So I was lucky enough to attend Britney Spears!!! It was AWESOME...so entertaining, she looked incredible, and the dancers were so GOOD!!! It was such a great girl's night...I LOVED it!! We made killer shirts (sorry if we offend, all in a good time) that we should have sold and made bank because everyone wanted one, and I got to hang out with some incredible girls that I met!! I loved them, I can't wait until we all play again!! Nat...thanks for the invite it was so much FUN!!!

...easter 2009...

I absolutely LOVE Easter!! I love its meaning and I love being with my family and doing the things we have done since I was a baby. Ever since I can remember we always go to the zoo!! It was a beautiful day (finally). The night before Easter I headed home to color eggs (Brandon had school...lame). We tried to be so creative with the eggs, it turned out to be more of disaster so our eggs are a little ghetto, but we had fun. Love you mom and "g"!! Ryan, my mom, and my grandma spoiled us rotten with cute Easter baskets...It was such a great day...THANK YOU:)
