HAPPY NEW YEARS!!

I am so happy that the holidays are over and now it is the new year! Tony and I started the our new years diet yesterday. Work is crazy busy! Nilkah was spayed last week. We are planning a trip to the Caribbean in April. We are going to get scuba certified before we go. Powell or Mead for our Anniversary trip in August. How pretty will it be to renue our vows on the rocks?! We were talking about babies maybe this year but decided not yet. My brother Cody is still living with us and working with Tony. I love having him and my niece around! I am going to actually hunt the riffle hunt this year! Usually I just go and support. But I want to hunt this year. Tony and I are getting everything in place so that we can buy a new house at the end of this year or beginning of next year. What a busy year ahead of us! I am so excited for the new adventures ahead!

NILKAH...

Here is our puppy in her cute Christmas dress!

PINE VIEW...

For the last few years my in-laws will get a cabin up at Pine View for the week. It sits up above the lake and is super pretty. The cabin is huge! The kids have so much fun playing in the sand and they recently have this new board that helps teach them how to ski.

FAMILY...

My little sister (Kami) and her husband (Hank) came for a visit from Viginia! I was so happy to see my sister...I feel that it has been FOREVER! We met up and went on a couple's date. We went to dinner at Tepanyaki, which is always yummy! Then we went to Hale Centre Theater and saw A Christmas Carol. It was surprisinly good! I would definatly reccomend it.

Here we are before the show started

Mi Amore

The next day we had christmas dinner at my dad's house. It was a fun get together! Yummy lasgana and salad...you can't ever go wrong there! We bought my dad a Nano (something basic and can get his needs met) so I thought. I was trying to explain to him how to make it work, load his music and I am pretty sure I left him all confused!

Here is part of my family...





FROM MY HUSBAND...

Today my husband sent me flowers....just because! Now this is coming from the man that usually only does flowers for holidays. The card was so super cute and heart felt. I loved it! He has been working really long days lately with a new line that they started so I don't really see him much lately. So he just told me that he misses me and how much he loves me!  I love my husband soooo much! And I love love love surprises!

THANKSGIVING #1...

So Saturday was Thanksgiving dinner at my house. I do have to say that I out did myself! It was surprisingly a fantastic time with my family there! I made so much food that I forgot to make the stuffing and didn't even notice til I was cleaning up! I gave out our family pictures that we did, they were so cute!

My computer is completely dead so I can't get the pictures off of it and I still haven't found my camera....sniff...sniff.

Tomorrow we are going over to the Stevens for Thanksgiving dinner...yum! I am in charge of pies and vegetable tray. Done and Done. Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

WOW ITS BEEN OVER A MONTH...

It has been over a month since my last post! Since then, Tony went on his first hunt and didn’t get anything. He was a bit bummed about it. But there will be next year. I am thinking about hunting next year as well. It would be awesome if we both got our bucks! There were four people in our group that got their buck on the first day of the opening! One of them was a twelve year old. He was so excited!

Halloween was super fun! We went over to Kole and Cindy’s. I dressed up at a baseball player and Tony was a lumber jack man. I decided to play vodka pong (cause I don’t drink beer) that was very interesting! I lost my camera so I have no pictures. Ugh! Fun time with friends though!

My birthday was very relaxing! I stayed in bed until noon and then tony made me brunch. We watched a little of the Utah game. Then Tony, Cody and Aaleeya took me to dinner at Market Street Grill. It was so very yummy! I then got to open my present! Celine Dion tickets in April! I am so very excited for it. We then watched Iron Man 2 and I feel asleep. It was a very good birthday!

Aaleeya’s birthday was next. She turned two. How time fly’s by! When she was born Tony and I were in Mexico getting engaged, and here we are two years later already! Her parents had a birthday party at McDonalds. She had fun running around and opening her presents. Granted the presents that were clothes got thrown. Little does she know when she gets older she will love clothes!

How I love diamonds!! They tend to not like me so much. When we went to Jamaica I lost one of my earrings that Tony gave me on our wedding day. So yesterday we went and picked the new one up, paying half of what he bought them for! This is after a month of trying to get it in the store! Nothing but drama. As we were waiting I had them clean my wedding rings, and as the jeweler is giving them back to me he shows me that two diamonds feel out of my wedding band! This is the third time that has happened. I am not very happy at this point. Now I have to wait a month for them to get it inspected. We also looked at upgrading my ring half of a carat to equal 2 carats. Whoa! That would be huge (in a good way of course.) I have also lost a tennis bracelet that tony gave me for my birthday two years ago. I just put it somewhere that I wouldn’t lose it and forgot where that place is, so I am certain that one day I will remember. Well this morning I was getting ready and I went to get my diamond necklace that Tony gave me on our wedding day and I couldn’t find it! He was not very happy. Then I remembered that I had put it on a hanger with my dresses on it (so I wouldn’t lose it). Hopefully he doesn’t stop buying me diamonds cause they are my favorite! So I have a new goal…DON’T LOOSE THEM!

My thanksgiving dinner is tomorrow. We are going to go grocery shopping tomorrow. I sent out my invitations on Tuesday. I will see if I can get a picture of them on here. I am so excited about it. I do love to cook, plan and decorate!

I moved into a new position at work. I went from Receptionist to Administrative Assistant and I am loving it! It comes with good perks and new adventures. I have a ton more work to do so I have been staying very busy. Starting Monday my work is going to be doing a weight loss challenge. It ends January 9th. I don’t want to gain the ‘holiday weight’ this year. So it will be fun to do this friendly competition.

Well I will try to keep updates coming. A month is way too long!
