Wedding Tips

We just had the bridal show at the Salt Palace and it was lots of fun and good ideas. As I'm planning a wedding here are some things that have helped:

• A wedding checklist. I found mine at LDS Weddings- http://www.ldsweddings.com/articles/4months.html. This really helps you prioritize and not feel overwhelmed. Also it feels great to see things crossed off the list.
• Use the website http://ourweddingday.com/ I used this to help us figure out our budget and it was so helpful!
• Look on KSL(http://www.ksl.com/index.php?nid=13) for great deals from anything to your dress to the centerpieces. You will find GREAT deals
• Find ideas online at great websites like http://www.mormonchic.com/special/weddings/
• Think of all of your family and friends and ask for help. They are a great resource and usually want to be a part of your special day. And it saves lots of money.
• Take dance lessons. It will be so fun to know a dance for your first dance http://www.ballroomutah.com/

Well that is all for now....... have a great day!

Happy New Year

I cant believe it's 2010! I am excited for a new year and fresh beginning. My friend Alicia and her family always pick a word for the year to focus on. For example last year hers was stretch. So she tried new things and reached out for new opportunities. I thought this was a great idea so I starting doing it too. Last year mine was balance. I honestly think life is all about finding balance. Its hard to do but really if you had balance between your work, love life, family, fun, education, church you would have a pretty good life. I think I did pretty well balancing being involved at school in my sorority, church, family and dating. but mostly I just loved hanging out with Matt once he got home from his mission. I could have more balance and will continue to work on that. I accomplished a lot in 2009- had crutches for the first time due to my amazing snowboarding skills, had the best roommates ever, loved Alpha Phi, placed in state and nationals in DEX a marketing competition, went to Universal Studios in CA, lived with my grandma, Matt got home from serving a full-time mission in Brazil, we got engaged, I graduated from SUU, turned 22 and got a full time job. Wahoo!

This year my word is TIME. I want to be on time to work, church, dates, activities, everything. I think it is important to make time for what is important. After I chose this word it reminded me of that comercial- Family, isnt it about...TIME? from the church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. haha I agree. I want to spend my time wisely and prioritize. I have never been a really punctual person and this year that is my goal to become better. Thanks Melinda for our fun New years eve party that was revolved around clocks and made me think about time. We played twister on clocks, pin the time on the clock, made goals on paper clocks and more. It was fun!




Matts word for the year is Control. To have more control to do what he needs to do, work out, make decisions that he wants and save money and spend it wisely. I think it is important to have control and order in your life to get things accomplished and achieve your goals. We have to have self control and be determined to really be a success at anything such as an instrument, talent job, etc. I am excited to see what exciting things happen this year.

Christmas Eve, Christmas and Happy Birthday to me!

I love holidays! On Christmas Eve Matt and I went to a party at his grandparents house and had a blast. We ate dinner, did a white elephant gift exchange, gramee read a Christmas story, the cousins did a talent show, and we talked with everyone there. Afterwards we did the Romero gift exchange- I had Taylor and Cameron and Lindsey gave me and Matt gift card for dinner at Red Robin (which was Delicious!), a movie and itunes. Then we all got new pajamas! Thanks Greg and Karine!

Christmas Day was fun. I love my family so much! Thanks mom and dad for everything. Guess what Matt gave me for Christmas?!? A Wii. and his parents gave me a wii fit! It is the most entertaining, addicting thing ever and I feel okay about it because it's not just a waste of time video game I am being active and working out! I love it. Thanks so much! I love Christmas time and seeing people's reactions when you give them gifts and hope they love them.

For my birthday Matt, some of his family, my family and Caitlyn took me to Chef Tom's for dinner. It was so yummy! I LOVE garlic cheese pizza. The next day on my birthday we ate dinner over at Grandma Witts and Mom made a Cafe Rio meal. I need to learn how to make it. It tasted exactly like a Cafe Rio salad and burrito. Then we played games and opened gifts. Thanks again everyone. Now I'm 22! How crazy. This past year has been a good one and hopefully the next year will be too.

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.

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.

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.
