Are you the new girl?

As I walk through the huge halls of the Salt Palace I pass people and they say, "Hi are you the new girl?" Yes I'm the "New Girl." I started my job as events assistant and I love it. I have a real grown up job. YAY! This week has been pretty slow since everyone is still celebrating holidays instead of working but next week will pick up and we will have lots of events. Types of upcoming events- a bridal show, Outdoor Retailer Show, meetings and conventions for different companies, wedding receptions, Brand New Concert, stuff like that. And also, have you ever been to the Salt Palace? Its Huge! I almost get lost just walking around inside.

This is my cubical with my computer, filing cabinents, calendars, etc. I basically do the administrative work for the Events Manager and Sales Manager. For example I fill out deposits, update calendars, email people for insurance if they have an upcoming event, send out reports and help plan any non-contracted event. I keep them organized. Everyone here is nice and the best part is I get to work with Alicia! Cant wait til you get back from your break!I am so thankful for Alpha Phi and all the great people I met through being in this organization. I dont know where I would be without it. Thanks everyone who helped me get here. Also, its crazy to think school is starting next week and I wont be going back...I'm done. And I get a paycheck instead of paying. How exciting. But I will miss you all in Cedar City.

And another awesome thing is....I got an iPhone! From my work. Because hello, we need to keep in touch here at work and while we're not at work. Isnt technology awesome. I'm excited to work here. I'm one lucky girl.

Tis the Season

'Tis the season for Christmas parties, family, giving and unfortunately getting sick too. Matt got his tonsils out 2 weeks ago and has been recovering. We had fun watching lots of movies. I'm so thankful that he's feeling better now.

On Saturday night we had a beautiful fancy dinner at Chef's Table in Provo with Grandma and the Witt side.

On Sunday we had our Witt Christmas gift exchange. Dinner was so yummy! All our family was there and we had a great time. It was fun to see Grandma and Grandpa Dickson too. He said that he was proud of me for graduating and getting a job downtown but I need to get a concealed weapons license or at least carry pepper spray. Lol. Good idea. I love him. Good thing I have my grandpa to keep my back.

It was so fun seeing my nieces and nephews and all of my family.
Jackson thought he looked awesome in Matts glasses.

I gave running shoes to Melinda and got cute brown shoes from David.
Matt gave a tripod to Jessica and got A Dark Knight, a game and popcorn from Scott.

Jackson, David, Carson, me

Matt and I went with Sabrina and Brandon on a double date. We saw the lights on temple square and Galivans center and got hot chocolate at IHOP. I love Christmas time!

The other day I hung out with my sister and her two darling girls. We went to the mall and rode on the train. Then Melinda and I gave each other pedicures. It was so much fun.

Mikell, me, Kenzie on the train

GREAT NEWS!!

The other day I was telling Alicia to let me know if she knew of any job openings and amazingly enough she hooked me up!! I GOT A JOB! I will be the new events assistant at the Salt Palace. I am SOO excited! I now have a full time job and get to work with one of my best friends Alicia. Thank you! I cant wait to get started!

GRADUATION!!

I AM DONE!!! I remember my first day at SUU. Moving into Manzanita dungeon. I had so much fun living with Camille, Whitney and Angela. I joined Alpha Phi and had the time of my life getting to know my best friends. I love my big- Tamara and my littles- Alicia and Sally. I am so glad I have my family at my home away from home. We always had a great time in Alpha Phi! Now 3 1/2 years later I had my last class, my last final and my last day living in Cedar. I loved college!
This past year has been the best! I am engaged to the man of my dreams- Matthew Romero. We actually changed our date from January 16, we are still getting married and everything is going great! We both just need to get full time jobs and save up some money. I LOVE HIM!
I had the best roommates this semester. I LOVE YOU KADY and miss you already.
We are crazy and made a music video one night...College=Good times

Last night we had a Green Shake Celebration. The Romero tradition is to have green shakes when someone gets good grades at the end of the semester or when someone graduates...it was a toast for ME! the recent graduate.

I am so excited that I'm graduated. Now I need a job!! Any connections or job openings PLEASE let me know! That'll be the true success when I get a job that requires a bachelor degree. Im happy and love marketing and working with people. I'm excited to grow up even though its a huge change.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

Thanksgiving is a great time of year! This year I spent it with Matt and his family at his aunt and uncles house. We had a delicious dinner and played games. Later that night we hung out with my family and played games and ate dessert.

I'm thankful for

1. Matthew Romero- the Love of my Life

2. My family- you guys are the best!

3. The gospel

4. My roommates, friends and sisters in Alpha Phi

5. SUU- I've learned a lot and made fun memories

6. Our Savior Jesus Christ

Matt and i went on a fun date to Hollywood Connections and played mini golf while I was home for Thanksgiving break. He always knows how to make me laugh!

Need your computer fixed?!?

Cant afford to buy that new computer you want?? No Need To! Just get your old one fixed and updated.

My fiance, Matt Romero, can repair and optimize any computer, get rid of viruses, network consultations and also get or construct new computers at a great price. If you need any new parts or repairs let us know!! He owns a business called Make-IT-Work, he can make any technological gadget work like new again. He is a computer genius. Please leave a comment even if you do not know me we are always looking for more clients and people to help! Have a great day!

wisdom teeth

I often wonder why do we get wisdom teeth, and why do we get them out? I guess mouths just arent big enough for them but they try to squeeze their way in anyway and start to cause pain. 85% of people that have wisdom teeth get them removed. This week was pretty uneventful for me. I got my wisdom teeth out on Wednesday and Matt has been the best at taking care of me. I love you family and Matt! I just watch movies and say crazy stuff. Luckily I didnt get too puffy or anything but I cant wait to regain energy and not having my mouth kill after eating, smiling, or talking for more than 5 minutes.

Good Times

"I can't fall asleep because reality is finally better than my dreams." -Dr. Suess

I love Matthew and my life is great! I love weekends because we go on cute fun dates, hang out with family, laugh until I cry and then cry again because I have to say bye and go back down to school. I cant wait to graduate! 38 more days!

Wedding planning is going great and if you know anyone who gives good deals on flowers, invitations, or make delicious food, feel free to let me know! I got a gorgeous wedding dress on ksl.com for a great deal. Go to ksl classified for great deals! I love my parents and his parents they are so great!

On Halloween we went to Gardner Village and then we went to Melinda and Chad's to see their new baby! Kenzie is so cute! Mikell is hilarious and smart. She is a good big sister!
Kenzie is so tiny and precious
Saturday night we handed out candy to trick-or-treaters and watched Chuck. It is a great TV show!!

Dont Worry Be Happy

Sometimes life gets overwhelming because your grades arent good enough, you fight with your roommates, you agree to do too many things or you just have a plain old bad attitude or get stressed out because we are human. So if you are ever feeling down in the dumps or stressed try this (it really works): Just make a list either verbally or write it down of all the things you are thankful for. You will probably think of all the negative things as well but dont say them just redirect your thoughts to something you are truly thankful for. I have a good life and so many things to be thankful for! I am so happy today and its great! I LOVE THE SNOW! I know most people dont but I LOVE it. It is so refreshing and beautiful. I found a journal for $2 at walmart and I'm going to listen to President Eyring advice to write down things I'm thankful for:

1. my fiance and love of my life- Matthew
2. the snow
3. kady being a good roommate
4. the scriptures
5. emotions
6. the internet
7. electricity
8. my bedroom is clean
9. my family
10. sleeping

Here are 9 ways to be more Positive

1. Appreciate as much as you can. This is one of those very simple things you can do to bring more positivity in to your life. I have also found appreciation to be a great way to turn an angry, sad and frustrated mood around to a more positive one.

2. Stop comparing yourself to others. If you don´t then you´ll just create a lot of unnecessary pain in your life. If you pass one person then you´ll just find another person more successful than you. And your brief sense of being a winner will transform once again into anxiety, fear, tummy-aches and possibly heart-attacks.

3. Realize that it is possible to choose how you react. You don´t have live your life in reaction. You have a choice. There is always a gap between stimuli and reaction. If you focus on that gap it will widen and although it might seem in the beginning like stimuli and your reaction are tied together that is not the case.

4. Educate yourself. Self-education can be a great help to live a more positive life. Read great books on the areas of your life you want to improve. Maybe it’s it your financial situation. Or your health. Or your relationships. Ask people with more success in that area than you what they did to improve.

5. Act as if. Your emotions work backwards too. So even if you don´t feel positive, confident, calm or decisive you can act like it. And after you have done that for a few minutes, guess what happens? You will actually start to feel positive, confident, calm or decisive.

6. Live in the now. Don´t let your thoughts drift into the past or future more than necessary. It’s often a sure-fire way to start negative loops of thoughts in your mind.

7. Do some mental rehearsal. This is great way to improve your performance and decrease anxiety in any upcoming situation. Maybe you´re heading into a meeting soon. Then visualize now how great the events will unfold – see and hear it – and also how great will you feel at this meeting.

8. Redefine failure. Michael Jordan once said: “I’ve missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I’ve lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I’ve been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I’ve failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.”

9. Focus on what you want, not on what you don´t want. One common problem is to focus your thoughts on what you don´t want rather than what you want. If you do that then it will be hard to get what you want in life. If you want to improve your finances then focus on having a great financial situation rather than your lack of money and your debts.

Homecoming Weekend

I love Southern Utah University! I am so excited to graduate in December but its fun enjoying these last few months in college. This week was homecoming- full of fun activities and traditions. Wednesday I watched the girls play powderpuff football. It was fun but freezing.

Thursday was the pep rally and was pretty lame but it was fun seeing Sabrina! She came down to check out SUU for Senior Day and took a tour on campus and stuff.

Friday was True T-Bird night and I am now officially a true T-bird!! This is my 4th year at SUU and I finally kissed my true love at midnight while touching our school statue and became a true t-bird with Matt.

Saturday we carved pumpkins!

SUU played North Dakota for our homecoming game and we WON!! 35-10 go SUU we are doing better this year.

Sabrina, me, Matt, Kady

We had so much fun at the game. That night Matt and I went on a date- dinner at Wingers and saw Where the Wild Things Are. We started watching the TV series Chuck and it is honestly the BEST show ever. I like it and wanna get all the episodes so I can see what happens next. I had the best weekend with Matt and Sab down here. I love Matthew and cant wait til we are married! We even considered running to Vegas and getting married haha but decided we can wait for our temple date in January! YAY!!! I LOVE LIFE!

Halloween is coming!

My sister, Melinda, had her baby today!! I am an aunt again with a new niece- Kenzie! I'm so excited. So last weekend we had a Halloween party to get excited for Halloween.

Matt and I dressed as Batman and Robin

Mikell and Jackson were so cute with all the games and cookie decorating. Melinda is the best party hostess ever and we had a blast! Thanks.
