October

I L.O.V.E. this month soooo much!

WARNING...this is a little bit of a vent session

You see well we are very boring people as of late.

I feel like we don't have lives outside of work and school.

Nothing and I mean NOTHING exciting has happened to us lately.

I wish I had some exciting news to break to everyone buttt I don't.

I wish i had something to look forward.

I feel stuck like my life has hit the pause button and I can't hit play.

I don't know what I want to do with my life.

I do know that I want to be done with school in the next year or so.

I know that after school I want to start a family.

That brings me to...what do I actually what to study in school?

Stick it out for radiology?

Esthetician school?

Sometimes I feel like giving up and not doing anything but...that is NOT an option!

A new job?

A looooong vacation?

Who knows what I need to get me out of this stupid mood and over this what seems to be HUGE hump in the road for me...but I do know I need something and I need it soon!

In other happier news....

This girl is getting MARRIED and I can't wait only 86 more days!!!!

She was my maid or honor and I am so excited to be returning the favor!!

She is one on my besties and I am so happy for her!

Mr. Kyle Cragun is one lucky guy!!

One year...better late than never right?

Well on the 13th we celebrated our one year anniversary! It was so much fun we started the weekend off by waking up Friday morning and heading to Vegas! We had a few friends come with us and it was a blast we had sooo much fun! We got to Vegas Friday afternoon and went straight to in and out yummm! We checked in to the condo, relaxed for a bit and got ready for the night. That night we went to Margaritaville (sooo yummy) to get some amazing margarita's and then just walked around the strip and played the penny slots until Ash and Andy got there then we all went to dinner at Planet Hollywood and hung out the rest of the night. Saturday morning we woke up after sleeping in for a bit and went to breakfast. Then Saturday afternoon we went shopping, and Saturday night we went to a place called Dick's for dinner it was so much fun the whole point of this place was for the waiters and waitresses to be "DICKS" and it was sooo funny our girl was awesome and made it so much fun! She was making fun of Carl and our friend Andy so much it was cracking us up! She made them wear these hats she made out of paper and Carl's said "I did gay porn to pay for this trip and I'm not happy about it!" and Andy's was pretty gross so I wont write that one! That night we went out to the strip and hung out until 3 in the morning it was such a fun trip!!! Thanks for coming with us guys! Well Sunday morning we woke up and left Vegas around ten we got back to salt lake around seven after all the stops we made. Carl and I pulled the cake out and did the whole cake top tradition that night since we didn't want to take the cake to Vegas with us!

Here are some pics in no specific order...

Natalie and I playing the slot machines for the first time!

Carl was a little drunk?

The cake top...it was kinda gross I'm not going to lie and we didn't think when we had it made and did the top chocolate and I HATE chocolate but oh well we still ate some anyway!

Time flys

I can't believe that in less than 6 days we will have been married for 1 YEAR it has been the best year of our lives!!!! I love being married to my husband he is the best guy in the world and I couldn't imagine being married to anyone else! We are going to have a fun little weekend so i will post pictures of our adventures next week!

Whats new?

Well it's been a while since our last post...we have a bit to catch up on...first of all we have just been enjoying our summer having fun going camping, having bbq's with family and friends, bought a new car, went rafting,went to a family reunion, celebrated birthdays, working on the house and yard, and just enjoying this nice sun!


Well first off we bought a new car about a month ago now! It's a 2008 mazda 3 hatchback it's super cute and so fun to drive! Carl was a little sad at first to get rid of his precious truck but now he is realizing that in the end it will be better for us! This is what it looks like...

Other than buying a new car we went to my family reunion in Ferron the first weekend in August and it was so much fun I always love seeing everyone and haning out with all the cousins! We spent most of our time on the four wheelers and the boat! We went to the top of the mountain on a ride and it ended up being about 70 miles all together! Here are some picture of that fun weekend it's always a blast!

After we came home form the reunion we came home and celebrated my 21st BIRTHDAY!!! We got some friends together and went to dinner at The Bayou it was soooo yummmy and it was fun to have some friends there that i hadn't seen in a long time! I got great gifts, and a bunch of my favorite flowers and a silly card from my parents who were in Sturgis! Thanks everyone it was so much fun!

I also got invited to go to the Kenny Chesney concert with my cousin Kirstine and we had a blast! He is so amazingly HOT hahaha we had fun dacing around, singing, and talking to the drunk cowboy's and there moms? or cougar girlfreinds? We dont really know what they were haha but thanks again bean i had soooo much fun!


















Sooo cute!


































The next thing on the list is the house and yard...on man the yard i feel like this is a never ending battle! We have killed weeds and added cute little stone blocks in front and as for the house we have just been adding little things here and there we painted the shutters and hung some lights on the sides of the garage and small little things like that here are a few pictures.....the pics of the inside of the house are from a YEAR ago when we first moved in so there is not a thing in the house yet and yes i know my house is very colorful....what can i say I LOVE COLOR love love love!

Well thats about it so far i promise i wont wait this long to post agian!

It's been a loooong time....

Since my last post! Sorry about that (not that anyone reads this anyway!) but we have been SUPER busy lately with our vacations and work and the house and everything in between! I don't know where to even start.....lets see ummm well the first weekend in June we went to LAKE POWELL my favorite place EVER! We left Thursday afternoon and got to the lake at like 9:00 that night so the plan was to camp out on the beach at lone rock....yeah right...we got there and it was soooo packed there was no place to set up two tents and park the trailer and the boat so we ended up just a little bit up the road at the camp ground...which in the end was a great little place and there was no more than two or three people in that campground the entire time we were there! The weather was ok not the best but we still had a great trip! Round two in September hopefully!
The next adventure we took was to DISNEYLAND with Carl's family...the next weekend! Our flight was suppose to leave at like 5:00 on Thursday but since we had such crappy weather that whole week our flight was delayed until 6:20 so we hung out at the airport and finally we made it to the Long Beach airport at around 7:40 ish I think something like that....It was sooo much fun both Carl and I hadn't been to Disneyland for a LONG time and were so happy Carl's aunt invited us! We love hanging out with Carl's family since it we don't get see them as much as we would like but we loved every minute of the whole trip! Thanks again Melanie for taking us to the airport! I have more pictures but lost my cord for my camera so when I find it I will post them but for now here is a picture of the group!

We have been doing a lot to the yard the last few weeks which if I may say is the biggest pain in the butt! I hate all of the stupid weeds we have in our flower beds and I hate how many flower beds I have! I have decided to kill EVERYTHING in them so that next year I can start nice and fresh! Carl has been wanting to put a fire pit in the backyard and we are finally going to start doing that (now that he has burnt a hole in the grass from having fires in the pit by just setting it on the grass) hahaha and we are going to be cutting down one huge tree and part of our cherry tree....Axle seems to love to eat the cherries that fall on the ground and spit out the pits in a pile on the patio! Makes for one smelly beagle! The two dogs are getting along great now...at first they weren't so nice to each other but now they are great Axle even protects Lola when other big dogs bark at her on walks! He puts his butt right in front of her and bumps her to the side it's cute! We are loving this warm weather FINALLY and have just been taking advantage of it the last couple weeks with all of the above and a few boating trips! From now on I will try and keep the blog up to date and post the pictures from Powell and Disneyland and maybe a few pics of what the house looks like now! I'm excited to have a weekend off of work this weekend and excited to celebrate the 4th with our friends and family!

P.S. Carl has been texting me all morning and insists that we NEED to move to HAWAII and I think he is being serious....haha

Today is the day...

The day we get to bring home the new little pup! I can't wait...she got her last deworming shots and the vet says she is good to come home now! We are driving to bountiful to pick up the new family member who will be know as little miss LOLA tonight after carl gets home from work!!!! YAY i can't wait for everyone to meet her!

P.S. I wil be posting loads of pictures now that i have found my usb cable that has been lost since we moved into our house!

Struggles

Today has not been the best day...i feel like the people i thought were my friends just don't care anymore...i hate that people use me being married as an excuse to not hang out with me....i feel like now that i stand up for myself and not let people walk all over me that now those exact same people who told me that i needed to voice my feeling more and stand up for myself are now the ones who are getting mad that i am putting my feelings out there and totally taking advantage of the things they know hurt...is there any win win in this? I feel like some of the most important people that were in my life just don't care anymore...I hate that i let what people say affect me soooo much! I hate that ALL of the friends i thought would be there through the hardest times of my life have just given up....is there something wrong with me why are these people who say they are my "best friends" acting like they don't even care...I'm so hurt but three people that meant sooooo much to me. Why do people say things they know will hurt you....why do they get mad because you tell them your feelings....I don't understand how you can come out and say something to someone that you know is hurting them...This whole situation has made me realize i need to reevaluate some things.
