Honeymoon

I found these pictures from our honeymoon. We went to Maui and had so much fun! 

Sept. 2007

HOME AGAIN!

Home! I underestimate the way that I feel about Logan and Cache Valley. I forget that I love it here so much! I love the evenings here.. the way that it cools off at night..and how pretty the sunsets are!! I love walking around our neighborhood after dark and feeling the cool breeze. Cache Valley really is something else.. its own little world.

I love our house too. Its so peaceful. I can't imagine a more relaxing place then sitting in my family room curled up in my big leather chair reading TWILIGHT! Ahhh....so relaxing! I love cleaning my house too. I take pride in knowing that our house is clean!

One of my favorite things about being home is my EXTREME motivation to workout! I love it! I feel so much more happy when I workout. Maybe that is why I think that Cache Valley is so great!

I truly believe that HOME=HAPPINESS! I love being home!

END OF SUMMER!

Yesterday was my last day at Nordstrom. I am really sad to be leaving not only my discount but all the friends that I have made at work.  I am excited to be going home and seeing my house and family but Philly and KOP surely will be missed! 

We fly home on the 26th. I can't wait to be back in our house and get settled back in!  I can't wait to decorate and make it homey again.  Jack and Leah can't wait to have a yard again to play in! 

I am glad to say that this was by far my favorite summer!  I loved Philly and absolutely loved my job (mostly thanks to Tracy and Jayme!) Philadelphia really is the City of Brotherly Love (not in a gay way)!

NEW YORK CITY!!

We had a lot of fun in NYC seeing all the sites! We even found the Burger Joint and had a great burger! We are anxious to get back there one more time before we leave!

Happy Birthday to ME!!!

Justin and I both had to work on my birthday but we managed to go out to dinner! Cody and Celeste came out with us to celebrate my 24th birthday. We had a lot of fun and good food at Benihana!

Atlantic City

We had so much fun in atlantic city!  Although it looks like the weather was bad...it was so beautiful all day!  The sun was shining and it was hot!!! We walked the boardwalk and shopped at the outlets! I wanted to go to the beach but I guess that will have to be another trip!

Philadelphia Zoo

Philadelphia Zoo 

We got to see so many cool animals at the zoo.  These are just a few of them.  The elephants and giraffes were my favorite!

Historic Philly!

Here are a few pictures from our trip to downtown Philadelphia!

The Liberty Bell

Independence Hall

We also got a yummy Cheesesteak at Pat's King of Steak's that day!  So so yummy!

Philly Philly Philly!

So far, So good!  I really like Philly.  It has been so fun.  Here's what we have done so far....

We experienced the Original Philly Cheesesteak at Pat's.  So so yummy!

We visited the Liberty Bell and historic Philly!  Very interesting and pretty!

We walked up and down South Street in the blazing heat!  Very cool!

And I got a job!!! Yeah!! Well... I got a job at the Buckle two days after we got here.  It was a full time position and I was scheduled five days a week. Then Nordstrom called me for an interview!  I got the position I wanted in t.b.d. So.. I am now working at Nordstrom.  I like it so far.  Yesterday was  my first day on the sales floor.  I really think I will love it. 

Everything has been so great!  Until last night... Justin's car got broken in to.  He was really mad!  I guess things like that always happen (every year). 

I love all the wives out here.  I even have a Pinnacle wife friend who also works at Nordstrom. She is way cool!  

Anyway.. I have some pictures but I will post later!  

Finally Here!

So... we have been in Philly since late Sunday night.  We moved into our apartment on Monday.  I really really like it.  Jack and Leah have been so good for us.  The drive was extremely long.... about thirty two hours.  On tuesday I applied for some jobs.  Wednesday the Buckle called me to set up an interview. Thursday I had my interview at the Buckle and they hired me!!! I was so excited.  I start this tuesday.  I will be working alot.  I only get two days off a week and one weekend a month.  It should be really fun!  I will take lots of pictures of the fun things that we do.  I hope to do all the things on my list!  

Guy

Too cute for words!

Leah...my little Bean

I love Leah's snaggle tooth.  She's too cute!

Leah loves to cuddle with her mom!

Pictures from Cali

Well... California was really fun and WARM!!! We didn't make it to the beach but we had a ton of fun!  We went to see WICKED in San Francisco with Justin's parents.  Garrett also came with a date.  It was so good.  It was fun to get dressed up!

Jack and Leah had fun out there too. They loved playing outside and basking in the sun!  Leah loves the sun!

CALI!

Justin and I are leaving for Cali tomorrow!  I am so excited to get out of the cold and be warm!  We are going to take Jack and Leah to the beach to play in the sand.  It should be fun for them.  I'll take pictures and show you how much fun we have!

What I want to do in Philly!

Here is a list of things that I want to do in Philadelphia:

*Eat a Philly Cheese Steak

*Visit the Liberty Bell

*See Historic Philadelphia

*See the Phillies play

*Take a train to NYC

*Visit the ZOO!!

*Go to South Street

*Visit the Reading Terminal Market

*See Adventure Aquarium

Once we get out and settled in Philly.. I will  keep you posted on how things go.  I will write about each adventure as I cross them off my list!!  I can't wait to get out there!

PHILLY!!!!

The news finally arrived a few days ago that we are going to Philadelphia this summer!  I am so excited!  It will be so amazing.  We will be two hours from Manhattan, two hours from Baltimore, and pretty close to D.C.  I'm positive that this summer will hold many great adventures and that we will be seeing lots of cool things!  I can't wait to get out there and start exploring. Everyone keeps telling me cool things about Philly and I can't wait to eat the famous Philly Cheese Steak!  Yummy! I think that Philly will be by far the coolest place that we have been thus far!  I am excited for a change ! 

A little Bit a Life!!!

I started working again... well... not really.  I babysit for a lady in my ward a few times a week.  Surprisingly enough..I really like it and have fun all day.  They really wear me out actually.  Its nice to make a little bit of money!

Our house is still a disaster.  Here's the update: the floor is finished, it was finished about a week ago.  All the cabinets and countertops are put back in and look great.  BUT..  Justin decided to put up a back splash so we are waiting for that to be done so we can put our stove back.  I can't wait for it to be done so I can finally cook again.  

AND... the summer is quickly approaching and I am getting more excited.  I can't wait to find out where we will be going.  The summer is always fun and exciting. 

Snowmobiling!

So.. Justin finally took me snowmobiling.  At first it was really hard and frustrating.. But as the day went on it got easier and I got the hang of it.  We went with Cody and Celeste, Cody's brother Kylan and his friend Chelsey.  It was way fun... and look how cute we look!

Happy New Year!!

Justin and I are really excited for the New Year.  I am especially excited for this coming summer and to move to some place cool.  I hope that we have a really good year.  Maybe someone special will come along and bless our lives!
