Come Back!






I am on day 7 of 11 days that Paul will be gone! He and his dad are on a scuba trip to the Galapagos Islands for 11 days and I have been super bored. I have been entertaining myself with dozens of DVD's from Blockbuster, especially the 1st season of Veronica Mars. Such an amazing show:)
For those of you who don't know, I sure didn't until a few weeks ago, the Galapagos are islands off the coast of Equador and are home to such things as hammer-head sharks, disgustingly large iguanas, the Island of Tortuga (from Pirates of the Carribbean) and the blue footed booby! haha I love to say that last one. We just bought a new camera for Paul to take so he can document his trip of a lifetime and make me feel like I was there. I'm sure he will have a zillion pictures for me to post when he gets back so stay tuned!

Graduation


Weekenders



A couple weeks ago Paul and I went down to St. George with a few friends to go to the lake and hang out. We had a blast. We even went dancing at this hillarious club in Mesquite called The Boot, or something equally white trash like that. We had about 12 people and were THE only ones dancing for about 2 hours and finally when all the rest of the people there got drunk enough they were brave enought to dance. Up until then the white mormon kids were the only ones on the dance floor.

Soon to be home sweet home




We will finally be in our home in the next month or two. It feels like it has taken forever to build but that is probably because I am so excited I can hardly stand it! It is in South West Provo, 9th W and about 250 N. We have been involved with this house since last September so needless to say I am excited about every new thing that they do to it. I never knew I could be so excited about shingles, electrical wire or windows! :) We will be glad to finally be out of an apartment and starting what feels like real life. Come and visit! Now you'll have a place to stay.

Scout and Crash





I begged Paul for about 3 months to get a dog and when we went to get ONE we came home with Two:) My mom convinced us that you can't have just one dog or it will be lonely. Paul's little sisters complain that they will never have nieces and nephews b/c their married siblings just keep buying dogs! Hey, I just need to practice on something a little less complicated first!

The Big Apple







Last summer Paul and I flew to New York to visit our two brothers for a week. We had an amazing time! New York is crazy and wonderful at the same time. Pizza, cheap purses and Broadway was all so great. Ok, maybe Paul didnt appreciate the cheap/cute purses in China town but I sure loved it! We went to the statue of liberty, time square, broadway, the twin towers site, a ton of museums and many many restraunts. Its a good thing we walked all day b/c the food was so good. I have a ton of pictures but these are a few of my favorites. The top of the Empire State Building was beautiful. The full moon was shining off the river and it was just about the coolest thing. Thanks so Chip, Steph, Britton and Lane for entertaining us while we were there!

My First Blog!

So my job is pretty lame, yay for getting a new one next week!, so most days I end up reading other people's blogs (you all have saved my sanity:)) Anyway I thought that I would make one for Paul and I so we could be in with the fad. haha
Lets see...Paul is still in school at BYU majoring in Construction Management, which is like THE longest major ever. I think he feels like he will never get done. He is also working full time for Vested Homes which buys old crummy homes and "flips" them...basically renovates the whole thing and sells them for a profit. He absolutley loves it.
I am a personal assistant in Draper, Ut but will soon be working in Orem, UT doing the same thing for the Pres., VP, and CFO of a company called StoresOnline. I am way excited b/c the job I have now hasn't paid me for 2 MONTHS!!! Yeah, try paying bills with no money! Anyway I found another amazing job and am way excited about it. I have been going to BYU to get a BS in psychology and walked in April but will officially graduate this December. YAY.
Paul and I don't have any human babies yet but we do have two dogs, Scout and Crash. They are Yorkiepoos which translates to Yorkshire Terrier Poodle mix. They are lots of fun and keep me company when Paul works/goes to school late.
Here goes my first blog. Enjoy!
