A visit to Cedar City

I had such a fun weekend in Cedar City. It's my first visit since I graduated. I have to say 1. I love Alpha Phi, 2. I am SO glad I am done with college- homework, late nights, classes, messy roommates, and living in Cedar. It was fun and I'm glad I went to school there but I'm glad I graduated and I'm excited to walk for graduation at the end of April!Not only do Alicia and I work together but she is my little sister in Alpha Phi. We had a fun drive and a great weekend! It was so fun seeing old friends. We ate lunch at Costa Vida. (Alicia I stole your pics off fb since I didnt take any- thanks! hope you dont mind...) Thanks Kady for letting us stay at your house. Friday night we went to St George and took some pics at the temple and ate at the best restaurant- 25 Main- they have the BEST cupcakes!

Family: Me, Alicia, Kady

I got to meet Kady's parents and it was a blast! Kady I love you guys! They should visit Utah more often. We laughed so hard and had a great night.

Wishes Do Come True

Matt and I started ballroom dance lessons! I am so excited. It was a blast and Matt is really good and such a good sport. I was actually more nervous than he was. We learned the basic steps to waltz, rumba, fox trot, swing and tango. We had a blast and cant wait to have our first dance at our wedding. That's the main reason I wanted lessons and also something fun and different for us to learn something new together.

Long time no see

Last weekend we got together with the cousins to make pizzas, play games and see each other again! THANKS Brooke and Shawn for letting us come to your house. That was so fun. We need to do it again with more of our cousins and their spouses!

Scott, Jessica, Brittany, Me, Matt

Dave, Joni, Jane, Brooke, Shawn

Bowling Date Night

We went to Bonwood Bowling. It was a great deal! $7 each for 3 games each. Our first game was the best. I got 127 and Matt got 164! What a great bowler!We were excited to bowl!!
Matt wouldnt smile- he kept doing face like this:
haha but he did make me laugh. We had a good time.

Work

I had my first event on Thursday. Everything went really well and I learn so much everyday. I had to make sure all the tables and chairs were set up correctly and knew who to contact when we needed help with the internet, lights, power strips, food, and coat racks.

I really do like my job and everyone i work with. I'm an adult now!

I even have my own nametag.

I went to a social media seminar and learned how to do marketing via facebook, blogs, twitter, etc. I learned a lot. and even got a twitter and facebook account. Wahoo! Lol

Valentine's Day

I had a great Valentine's Day! My mom is cute and festive and gave me Valentine socks and candy. And we eat dinner on Valentines plates and napkins.

I LOVE MATT!! He bought us 5 Private lessons for Ballroom dance (at King Studio on Foothill Dr- http://www.ballroomutah.com/) and he said part of the gift is him willing to come learn how to dance with me. Lol. We are going to start lessons next week and I cant wait. He also gave me candy and a CD with songs that remind him of me. It was so sweet!

I gave him a memory foam topper for his bed, headphones and baked him a homemade apple pie!
Yes this is the actual pie I baked. It was delicious. I got the recipe from http://www.wikihow.com/Bake-an-Apple-Pie-from-Scratch with step by step instructions and pictures. It was my kind of cooking!
We also watched the movie Paper Heart. It was hilarious- this documentary basically about love and how this girl doesnt believe in it or that she will find it....until she does!

Matt you are my best friend and lover! Thanks for the special day!

Utah Jazz

The Jazz are doing so well this season!! It has been so much fun watching games on TV and going to games! This season I have gone to more games then I think I have in my whole life combined. It's awesome.

Shar and Matt

Lunch time Fun

On Tuesday Melinda, Mikell and Kenzie came downtown again to go to lunch with me. It was so fun- thanks! We had coupons from Pier 49 and got a FREE personal pizza from freebies2deal.com. Things always taste better when they are 1. Free and 2. No work to prepare. It was awesome and delicious. Mikell is SO smart! Probably the smartest 2 year old ever. She is adorable and getting big.
Mikell thought the train (trax) was so cool. So we rode on it for her first time in the free zone and she got SO excited. And a little nervous. We had a fun day.

She wanted to take pictures with my phone...
My flowers blossomed and are so beautiful! Its been good to have these flowers brighten my day this week! I love Matt!

Matt is the BEST!

Matt is so sweet. Thursday I was just sitting at work and the secretary brought me this big package from ProFlowers. I was SO excited! I got flowers, bath salt and a box of chocolates delivered to me at work from Matt! Now they are more in bloom and beautiful! It was such a surprise. I called to thank him and he's like I thought you needed some flowers on your desk until Valentines Day. I love lilies. They and calla lilies are my favorites!

One of the many things I love about Matt is that he always goes the extra mile. He wants to do things right, not just right but be the best at it. And he succeeds. He is the best. I always laugh, smile and know I am loved. I LOVE Matt so much!

Baby Shower

My cousin Danielle is having her first baby- a little girl. I went with my mom and sisters to her baby shower last weekend. It had been so long since I'd seen my cousins and it was so fun!! I love them. We need to get together more often. I'm excited f0r our upcoming date/game night at Brooke and Shawns!!

Jonis baby is adorable! It was fun seeing my grandma and aunts too. Love the Dicksons!

Brand New Concert

I have the sweetest job! Friday night I got hooked up with free tickets to the Brand New Concert at the Salt Palace Convention Center. Thanks to my boss Jed. Manchester Orchestra played before them and they are amazing too. There were tons of people and we were like in the mosh pit of it all. It was insane but fun! To be honest I think it is kinda hard to understand Brand New live... but I have a few links at the bottom of my favorite songs. Sabrina had fun with her friends and Ryan did too. Joni and Dave were able to come but I didnt see them. My favorite part was probably hearing Matt scream and sing along to all the songs. He has an amazing voice- I LOVE HIM! We forgot to take pictures. Dang. After about 3 hours of standing on my tippy toes and being sandwiched between tons of people Matt and I got waters and decided we are getting old haha so we sat on the chairs in the back for the last hour. It was a great time.

The Bachelor

Jake is a hottie right?? Now there are just 5 girls left to win his love. I sometimes feel like a loser when I watch this show but honestly I love it! Tenley is probably my favorite. She is so genuine and happy all the time. She doesnt talk crap about the other girls and she is so excited to spend time with Jake. They are both naturally drawn to each other and make a cute couple.

Ali is almost tied as my favorite. I really like her. From week 1 she was my favorite. She and Jake have a blast together and she really seems like his type. They have a good chemistry and lots of similarities. I dont like how she talks about Vienna right there at the rose ceremony when she can most likely hear her. She is being extreme- she needs to remember she's there for Jake not to get rid of Vienna. I hope she remembers that.

Gia is so cute! She is gorgeous and has more to her than just looks. She is refreshing for Jake because she is from the city and different. She gets so excited to see stars, ride in an RV and make a fire.

Vienna and Jake have a fun time together but she really is a witch. Why would you come on The Bachelor if you want the guy to yourself and arent going to have a good time because you think everyone is jealous of you. She is self centered and high maintenance. I almost think he was paid to keep her around for more drama but I dont know- he has a good heart and did send 4 other girls home because he didnt see a future with them. I hope he doesnt want Vienna to be the mother of his children, his wife or to have any friends. I hope she goes home. But she is pretty.

Who do you think will win? What do you think about these girls and this show?

Growing Up...

I realized I was growing up when....

• I had to decide what kind of insurance I wanted (boring...but I'm blessed to have a job and benefits!)
• Like a 1/3 of my paycheck seems to go to taxes
• 6:30 AM is when I wake up instead of go to bed
• Wearing business attire goes from every Monday for Alpha Phi to every day at the office
• I have to be punctual, not becuase I'll be in trouble but I would miss Trax, miss a meeting or an important client
• I'm excited to go to bed becuase I'm so exahusted
• I wake up without an alarm on weekends
• I wake myself up in the morning (no this is a lie...Sabrina and David still have to make me get out of bed sometimes)
• the missionaries that you always thought were attractive look so young
• and the boys passing the sacrament look like babies
• your friends start getting married and even weirder when they're having babies
• You get to go on lunch dates (Melinda, Mikell, Kenzie and I went to lunch at Olive Garden the other day and it was so fun- Lets do it again. Great break from work)
• Connect with coworkers over TV shows
• I deleted my facebook and dont even miss it (now that I know I can live without it maybe I'll get it again to keep in touch with people)

Life is great! But seriously...I wanna be a kid forever. I still peel my string cheese when I eat it, cry when I'm stressed (and sometimes just to cry), sleep with my dalmation blanket, get really really excited and act like a 5 year old, my mom still packs my lunch and I love playing at parks. Although...I do wanna get married to my lover that makes me laugh and so happy every single day. So I guess I'm growing up and there's no going back.

living at home...

I didnt think I would ever live at home again after I graduated college but really its not so bad. I share a room with Sabrina and she is one of my best friends and a great sister!

My parents are the best! Mom makes me and Matt a lunch everyday when she makes lunches for Sab, David and Marcus. Dad doesnt make me pay for rent or food. I am SO grateful so I can save up some money to get married to Matt and live on our own.Its SO fun living close to my nieces and nephews! They are adorable and grow fast.

David and his new girlfriend...

haha...jk but Marcus and David did such a great job with their snowman. It was actually funny- on Monday I had work off and got to sleep in. I woke up to Marcus running back in the house yelling, "Okay I did it!" David asked "did what?" Marcus- "Rolled a snowball around the whole block for the bottom of the snowman!" "No way, is it huge?" "Yes come and see!" I knew it would be something awesome. and it is!

Since Monday was a holiday we did a family activity and went bowling!

Mom was the winner! And David was too (with bumpers haha)

Chivalry isnt dead

It is good to know that chivalry isnt dead. The other day on traxx it was really full and a few men stood up and gave their seats to women. It made me smile to know that there are gentleman out there. I got lucky and have the best gentleman in the world! Matt is so sweet. He always opens the door for me, pulls out my chair, drives me to work, kisses me, takes me out on dates, makes ordinary things fun, listens to me talk for hours, holds my hand and tells me I look beautiful. I love him!

Fun dates we've been on recently: 3D movie at the Planetarium, Jazz game and movies.

At the planetarium we watched an awesome documentary on the moon. Did you know 12 people have been to the moon?? Its great. Watching it made me realize that truly anything is possible!

We went to a Jazz game and got Skybox tickets to eat dinner and watch the game with X96 radio hosts and fans. The food was delish, seats ok, Jazz won, Jazz bears birthday and we had a blast. These pics are kinda blurry cuz i took them on my phone and it wasnt great lighting.

Movies. We love movies. We have seen and LoVeD Blindside and Avatar (in 3D). They are 2 of the best movies I have seen in a long time. We saw Lovely Bones and it was pretty creepy and out there weird!

Sometimes life gets hard and throws you curve balls that you dont expect but I guess thats when we are tested. We show we can do it when we react well and make the best of every situation. Here is a good saying I found:

I love you Matthew!

SBO Christmas Dinner

I know this post is late...but it is so fun to keep in touch with old friends. Last month I went to dinner with the 7 of us that were officers our senior year in high school. It is good to be reunited again. Nick and Adam are back from their missions, Nick is dating Heather and might be the first to get married, I graduated and got engaged, Marielle went to Italy, got her real estate license and is just about done with estitition school, Katie, Whitney and Jenny are going to school and working.
