A weekend full of fun

It was a girls night on Friday night and we went and saw Princess and the Frog. Love it!!! You can never go wrong with a Disney princess movie.

My cheerleaders had their first competition on Saturday...we took first place! Yahoo, we were pretty stoked!

We also went and saw the Forgotten Carols on Saturday night. A running tradition in my family. The music is so powerful. It really gets you thinking about the true meaning of Christmas.

On Sunday the girls made some Christmas candy. Yum. Divinity, carmel, fudge, and peanut brittle.

Poor Trev was stuck in the other room studying for finals the whole night though. :( Hang in there...you're almost done.

We did it!

If any of you are wondering...we survived! The girls looked great!
HUGE sigh of relief.
We still have things to work on, but things can only go up from here. :)

Complete and total stress

As I mentioned in my previous post, the woman that I coach with (aka my boss at Elite) had her baby yesterday. So that leaves me in charge of all three competitive cheerleading teams. Nothing I couldn't handle...so I thought.

Steph's younger team who is usually amazing had THE roughest practice last night. Usually not a big deal, everyone has a bad practice once in awhile, except for the fact they are performing tomorrow. I was so frustrated last night and feel bad that I made the girls frustrated too. I can't help but think it was me that made them look so awful.

Even though there is nothing I can do about it now except hope for the best I still am stressing, BIG TIME! I couldn't sleep last night because I was up all night thinking about that darn routine and this morning I have a crazy headache...carried over from last night.

Everyone say a little prayer and cross your fingers that the girls can get through their routine tomorrow and that I don't get an ulcer in the meantime.

Look what I made...

The cute woman I coach with is having her baby boy tomorrow. I made these onesies for her and I am surprisingly happy with the way they turned out!

It's about time!

Project Runway. Heard of it? Love it! Trevor likes it too (even though he wont admit it).
Meet Christopher...

Loved Christopher at the beginning of the season. He designed some incredible pieces!(made out of newspaper)

But...as Heidi Klum says it "One day your in, and the next day your out."
Well, one day Christopher bombed it
and continued to really bomb it (for 5 plus weeks in a row)
and week after week great designers were kicked off because, for some reason, the judges decided to keep him.
Last night justice was finally served! No more Christopher! He got the boot and I couldn't be happier. :)
"Auf wiedersehen" Christopher!

This is Halloween

This year Trevor was the vampire and I was the vampire slayer. We made quite the pair. We had a blast putting together our costumes together
What a bummer this holiday is over, but we are getting pumped up for the next one... THANKSGIVING!

Placemat Madness

Last week was Fall Break and I had a whole week without school. It was a dream! With all my spare time I decided to make Halloween placemats! I know...so festive. Give a whoop whoop hooray! I love this time of year!

To Do List:

Halloween is 3 weeks away and we have so much to do before then! Halloween is the best, and there are things you just CANNOT miss out on! We still need to...

Carve a pumpkin
Go to a haunted house
Watch Hocus Pocus and Charlie Brown's great pumpkin
Go to Thriller
Make pumpkin bread
Go to Frightmeres at Lagoon--I have free tickets from work. Yay!
Go to the Scarecrow Festival--my cheerleaders are performing there next week...I hope we are ready!
Go to a corn maze
Find a costume

There are so many fun things to do this month!

What a weekend!

Friday night Trevor took me to The Roof to celebrate my 22nd birthday. Yes, I am a very lucky girl. :) That place is incredible. There was a picture perfect sunset that night that only added to the already jaw-dropping view. The food was great and the dessert was even better. We didn't walk out of the restaurant...we rolled out. We were so stuffed!Thank for such a great night and weekend Trev!

Now, I am going to need a round of applause because on Saturday I made HOMEMADE rolls and they were delicious!!! I am not the greatest cook. Whenever I try to make dinner something always seems to go wrong with the recipe and it never tastes as good as I remember. I was feeling rather ambitious on Saturday and decided to try and make these rolls for Trev's humanitarian trip reunion. I seriously am still in shock that they worked and they were so good! Yay for me! I have been inspired to start cooking more.

Got Blood?

Remember this picture? Our own little Dracula?

Well...it looks like Trev's hair will not be the only thing he and Dracula have in common.

Today Trevor was offered a job at a blood/plasma clinic. He is stoked. No more Discover Card and no more searching for a job in the medical field.


What more could he ask for? One step closer to medical school.

Bow wow!

Such a random bog but...I am just thinking about how much I want a puppy!

How can you resist anything as cute as these puppies?

Trev has always wanted a pug..yuck...but we have decided that when we can get a dog we are going to get a beagle!

They are energetic, get along great with people and other dogs, they don't shed a lot, and not to mention they are crazy adorable.

Heck, I have even picked out the name for our future puppy. Wait for it...Bruno! No, not after the flamboyant Australian from the recent movie, but the loyal dog from Cinderella (my favorite Disney movie).

I am still trying to sell Trevor on the name. I have plenty of time though...my dad has band dogs from the townhouse we are living in. Probably for the best. We have no yard and an energetic puppy like Bruno will need plenty of room to play.

Jealous?

How does everyone like Trev's new hairdo?

We love it!
A mix between a vampire and a wolverine. Completely irresistible, right?

This is what happens when we have a couple hours to burn on Sunday. I couldn't take Trevor serious the whole night.

On another note, here are pictures of Trevor's humanitarian trip to Mexico.

The first night Trevor got to Mexico his group stayed in Guadalajara. A city of 7 million people!

The next day the group made their way to a little village about an hour out of Guadalajara. This is what the typical house looked like. Bricks carelessly thrown on top of each other and held in place with slopped on cement.

The task for the week was to complete a series of water storage towers for the village. The village had been hauling water in on their donkeys. The villagers were told to prepare the base of the storage before Trev and the rest of the volunteers could help.

Weaving this type of barbwire fence was the next step. The volunteers taught the villagers every step of the process so that the towers could continue to be built when the volunteers had left.

The chicken-wire was then placed around the base of the storage and filled with cement. Although the water in the storage tower will still need to be boiled before use, this system will be such an upgrade from the daily trip to the lake for water.

The village was located in the mountains not your tropical Mexico vacation spot. Trevor said the weather was a perfect 72-80 degrees. This land is owned by the man who organized for Trev's volunteer group to come and help his village. Trev says that he was the "it" in the village. Although poor compared to our standards, he was the richest man in town. He was the only man in the village to own his own toilet!

At first the villagers weren't thrilled about a bunch of Americans coming to their village, but by the end of the week their opinions about Americans had changed. This is Trev and a few volunteers playing soccer with some of the kids from the village.

Trevor had a great time and said it was an opportunity everyone should experience. We are both hoping to go on a humanitarian trip to Costa Rica this March.

What a joke

For those who plan on getting a Communication degree at the University of the Utah...think again.

If you plan on working and taking required communication courses at the U...think again.

If you plan on a schedule that actually makes sense and allows you to drive up to school just once a day....think again.

If you plan on graduating at a certain time...think again...it will be pushed back by the lack of classes offered by the department.


It is four days into the semester and I am so frustrated with this Communication department I can hardly function. My schedule has been turned completely upside down multiple times. I have had to drop courses because of one prerequisite. I have been unable to sign up for classes because of that one prerequisite. I have been unable to sign up for classes because they offer one, maybe two, of required courses for the gazillion of communication students. Classes fill up faster than a blink of an eye and they stay that way. The professors up there are completely unwilling to add an extra 3 students to their classes. Heaven for bid they throw 3 more scantrons into the machine.

So...if anyone needs anything from 1:45-4:35 pm on Mondays and Wednesdays let me know. I will be sitting up to the U trying to kill time because a professor wouldn’t add me to his class.

Seriously, a joke!

48 hour count down

48 hours until my husband gets home from his humanitarian trip in Mexico, but who's counting? He's been gone since Saturday and from the moment he left..actually BEFORE he even left I was going through with drawls. I can hardly wait for Saturday afternoon to finally roll around.

Kudos to those of you who sent your loves off on missions and waited anxiously for two years. Majors kudos for those military wives who have to send their husbands off to war. It takes a special kind of women to do that.

The day that started it all

A year ago from today Trevor picked me up in his dad's copper colored sports car and took me on a nice long drive. It was the first time I had seen Trev since his mission. From the moment he picked me up to the moment he kissed me good-bye (yes, he kissed me the first night!) we were catching up at 100 miles per hour. We talked about EVERYTHING. After the drive we walked to Wal-Mart and rented a movie from RedBox and on our way home he was sweet enough to give me a weed flower. :)

I have never been more comfortable with someone as I am with Trev. He not only puts up with my tantrums, randomness, humming, dancing, ups and downs but loves me through it all. I couldn't be luckier and can't believe it has been a whole year from the day that started it all!


PS I decided to included this funny picture pre-mission. I think we look so little...and so tan!

We did it!!!

We did it. We made it through the summer semester and more importantly we made it through the summer semester alive and almost completely sane. I have to say it was rough. It was our first semester of being married and having jam packed schedules. Dinner was rarely made, laundry and cleaning were hardly ever done, books and papers became a nice accessory to our table and floor décor. Project after project and test after test left us little time for the gym or any kind relaxing. Throw into the mix plenty of hours of work and few hours of "you and me" time and you've got our lives these past couple months in a nutshell. But...we did it!!!


In celebration of my last final on Wednesday and Trevor's last final on Thursday we went out for sushi at the Asian Star. Ahh...what a treat.


We've got two weeks of freedom until we start it all over again.

Happy 50th!

On Saturday we celebrated Grandma and Grandpa Bahr's 50th anniversary!

The festivities included:

Going to the Desert Star...
Dinner at the Asian Star...


Cake and presents at the Ostlers...(A book of pictures and memories of Grandma and Grandpa.)


And spending time with family...

Trevor and I have 49 years and 7 months until we celebrate this milestone.
Congratulations Grandma and Grandpa!
