Boring...

I've been sitting in front of my computer with this screen up trying to think of something to write for about 25 minutes and have come up with NOTHING not one thing. That should tell you how exciting our life is right? I wish I had things to blog about but I don't. Things like baby news or talking about my last semester of school, us moving somewhere AWAY FAR FAR AWAY from this stupid cold grossness outside, or doing stuff to our house but I don't...it's kind of depressing in a way. I don't know if it's winter that is making me this way or if I'm just having a bad day or if I'm jealous that what seems like EVERYONE around us has exciting things going on in life like marriage, babies, and graduating and we are just stuck where we are or what the deal is. I hate to be a debbie downer but that's just the way the cookie crumbles this month!

Christmas time!

Well it's been a long time since my last post so I thought I would write about our plans for this next week and some of the fun family things we have had going on the last little while! This post will probably be pretty boring! I haven't been taking my camera with me lately I need to start taking it!

Where do I start? The last time I posted and told everyone that Carl has decied to go to school this next semester! He is still trying to decide what he REALLY wants to do...at first it was for sure welding and fabricating but after we found out that they might not have the night program for the next four years soooo then he played around with the idea of maybe becoming a police officer and doing POST and all that fun stuff....well after talking to my dad who is a police officer he has decided that he doesn't know for sure if that is the best thing to do. In my opinion I like the whole cop thing I've grown up with my dad doing it and police officers are always going to be around so there is some kind of job security in that and he would get great benifits but on the other hand I think that I might be worried about him all the time and that would stress me out! So we will see what he decides to do...he is still going to be taking gen eds next semester until he decides!

I finished school on the 17th I had two finals and they both were pretty easy! I'm still kind of back and forth on what I want to do with myself next semester so right now I am looking at my options and will probably just be taking classes to finish up my associates until I decide! I hate being grown up and making these decisions can I just tell everyone that! A while ago I was looking into esthetician school...well after calling around to some spas and Dr. offices I decided that might not be the best move right now with how the economy is at the moment. So now I am looking into doing more with dental assisting or the surgical tech program at SLCC.

The past weekend we have had a lot of fun with Carl's family! Friday night we had a party at the apartments club house that Melanie Carl's mom lives at and we had a lot of fun! We kind of started a little tradition of drawing names and doing gifts that way which I thinks works out great seeing that there are so many people. We had dinner and watched Reid play with the karaoke machine with all the little kids it was pretty funny! It was really fun to get together and spend time with everyone!

Saturday we headed to Provo to have luch with Carl's Grandma and his aunt Dion and uncle Bruce who are here visiting from California. We met at Grandma Sarah's favorite place....Chuck- a - rama....it was fun to visit with those guys we don't get to see Dion and Bruce or even Grandma very often so it was nice to get together and chit chat and have lunch!

As for Christmas eve we are heading to my grandparents house for dinner and to open a few gifts and hang out with my family. Christmas moring we are having breakfast with my dad's side of the family at my parents house then that night we will be heading back over to my mom's side for our big danish dinner that we do every year and somewhere in between all of that we will make time to go visit with Carl's dad!That is our plan for this next week! We have fun the last few weeks getting ready for all of this madness! Thanks to everyone for this weekend it was fun! Im sure the next time I post it will no longer be 2009!

MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

BIG ANNOUNCEMENT

Well folks we have some BIG news....
Are you ready??
Your sure your ready??
Ready....ready.................
Well I am VERY proud to say that my husband is now a college student!! Yep that's right he will be registering for classes in January and we are both very excited! He was telling me last night that he wished he would have started college sooner than now...but things happen and he is happy to finally be going now! Originally we just went in to talk to an advisor about what classes he would need to take and to see which programs he wanted to do and all that fun stuff....well she told us he could apply for admission right then so we went ahead and did just that.....and well he is officially a college student. Carl is so excited to start learning something that he has always wanted to do and that makes me super happy! He totally deserves to do something he has a passion for!
The program he decided on has night classes so he will still be able to work full time and go to school...with him doing the night classes the program will be twice as long because the classes are only half the time as the day classes...that's the only negative. His program will start next fall so while he is waiting for that time to come he will be working on his generals.

WAY TO GO BABE!!!
I LOVE YOU!!!

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!
