UGH School

When I applied for the School Counseling Program at USU,  I knew it was going to be a lot of work.  I was excited about it.  So my first semester came around-  Pretty easy.  I got a 4.0, the workload was small, the hardest part was the big final projects but I did well.  My professor told us that this semester is the hardest of them all.  I thought... "woo hoo- this is going to be easy!" I took on extra work and made myself pretty busy because school wasn't going to be too hard.  Well... I'm thinking she lied.

This Semester is filled with lots of work (i'll call it work but its really Busy-work).  In the first week of school  this is what was assigned and due the next week.  #1- about 100 pages of reading in text books.  #2- three articles to read  completely.  #3- 2 papers.  #4 a quiz on the reading.  ALL IN THE FIRST WEEK OF SCHOOL

Now maybe I'm just being a baby-  but this feels like a heck of a whole lot of work for one week.  And this is about average for every week until the end of the semester... not including any projects or exams. 

So how do I feel?  OVERWHELMED!!!  Like I took on WAY to much.  Like I need to quit one of my 3 jobs!!! Like I had no idea what I was getting myself into.  I feel like a Gradaute Student.

WISH ME LUCK!!! 

Year 2009

So I thought I would jump on the cliche new years bandwagon and review 2009.  I'll make it short but this year was HUGE for our little Family.  We sat down the other day and thought about all the different things we did this year, and how next year is going to be way boring in comparisson (unless we have baby- that is the only thing that could trump this year) **(This is not an announcement of any kind).  Here is a short list of the BIG things that happened this year- in chronological order

New Years~

We spent New Years Eve at Hamiltons with our new friends from Boise, Lauren and Brett Davis.  Lauren is the new edition to the MA family at Rocky Mountain Dermatology.   I do love the Steak Pasta at Hamiltons. It was fun to hang with them.  We ran into Craigers while we were there and he was so great to take the group pic.  Thanks Craig. 

After we headed to Sean and Amies house- some good friends, and chatted until midnight.  Happy New Year

New Years Day me and Nat went to lunch.  We wanted to go to Elements for their amazing asian salad,   but were dissapointed when they were closed, just like every other nice restaurant in town.  So we settled for an old favorite.  Lunch special at Firehouse.  Its always good spending time with one of your oldest and best friends.  Nat your the best.

Hit up the new movie Sherlock Holmes with the Hepworths,  Had Sean and Amie over again for Dinner-  and then spent the day after new years at my parents having a nice New Years Dinner and playing Taboo!

I think the new year started off right-  Don't you think?

PS I HAD A BIRTHDAY TOO! THE BIG 23- HERE ARE SOME PICS OF THE EVENT!

HoliDaze

I found my camera!!!
Christmas was great.  Tyler and I spent christmas eve with my family playing games and eating, and eating, and eating.  The next morning we headed back to my parents for christmas morning.  We hadn't had a christmas morning with them in 2 years.  Opened all our great presents.  Tyler got new plastic for his motorcycle, and some clothes.  His fave present was an RC helicopter that occupies most of his time.  I got clothes, jewelry and a Cricket! I'm still figuring out how to work it but it looks really cool :)

We then headed to the hepworths where we opened all of our fun gifts including itunes gift cards, clothing, ski passes, and many other things. They got Rock Band and Stu and I spent lots of time passing all the levels on the country version.  We make a good team. Which is why our ginger bread house was the bomb- we make gingerbread houses on christmas day with the Hepworths and we had to have different partners than last year,  so stu and I again partnered up and our house was awesome.

We stopped by Grammies to visit! Love her!

The Highlight of my christmas was giving my dad an ipod touch.  He had wanted one for so long, and kept saying he was going to buy one for himself.  So everybody pitched in a little and surprised him with it on christmas day, wrapped in a huge box weighed down with all of the things we had at our house that were his. He hasn't put the thing down.   We spent more than planned but it was so worth it.

WE TOOK FIRST!

My girls First competition- They took First Place! Woo Hoo! I'm so proud-  videos to come (if I can figure it out)

AHHH crazy November- Warning Long Post

November was nuts!  Let me tell you that it was full of craziness and I'll share a little here.  Of course we had thanksgiving-  We spend it with the Hepworths- and it was delicious.  It was fun to have the entire family together now that Stuart is back from the mish, including both Molly and Buddy, the dogs.  (FYI we lost Molly last week, she was a good dog may she rest in peace)

Next we moved! YAY!  the house looks good so far.  We had tons of family to help us paint and clean and move and we couldn't have done it without any of them.  I packed the Camera and it is still unfound.  but as soon as I find it I will post some pics of the house.

The Novemberfest happened.  The girls did really well, here are some pics to prove it.

We went to the Forgotten Carols- a yearly tradition with the family thanks to big sis Krystalee.  I bawl every year when we sing we will be together forever someday.  SO I made a goal to keep in control this time.  So... I imaged food in my head and I didn't shed a tear! Woo hoo!

 I was so proud of myself.

So ON top of all of this,  I told the Derm that I was a gonner- and I am officially not working there as of Jan 1.  This was a big step for me, and I am really excited to see what life has in store.

I have been picking up shifts as receptionist at Kutting edge and have LOVED it.  Way fun, really chill,  the girls are great, and I get to wear normal clothes everyday.  So we will see how that goes-

I will dearly miss the EC times!

It's competition season for Cheer- the first is 12/12-  wish us luck!

Happy birthday Krysta on the 9th of december, and graduation on the 12th.  Big month for her

Deek will be up for the holiday, that should be fun

Buddy is growing strong and big and is a little rascal

That's my life update- the end

Love- Me

The New Edition

We bought a puppy!  He is a Shih Tzu and was the runt of the litter.  We named the little guy Diesel, we call him Dies (dees) for short.   We love him!

Ewwwwwwwww!

Disgusting Story Warning

So today Tyler and I went to eat at Costa Vida.  Suddenly Tyler gasped and laughed at something behind me so I turned around to find a little girl with Green Guacamole on her fingers.  I figured she had stuck her fingers in her mom's salad or something.  Um No.

Tyler corrected me, and told me she had stuck her hand down the back of her diaper, pulled out her green fingers and said "Mommy, Poopy!"  It was green diaper poop, not guacamole

OMG SICK!  Tyler couldn't finish his food.

New House

Yes, we bought a house.  We are super excited but crazy busy.  It down at about 300 S 800 W in a nice little neighborhood.  When we get some pics I'll post em.  We'll be moving in over thanksgiving, and we'll be in our new home for christmas.  Can't wait!

Fall Family Pics

  

We thought the leaves were pretty so we decided to take some pics up the canyon-  it was fun, it reminded us of your engagement photo session.
