Has it been a year?

Why yes it has. How time flies. Last Friday Trevor and I celebrated our first year anniversary!

Before we get started, I forgot my camera. Genius, I know. We bought a disposable one, but haven't gotten the pictures back yet.

The festivities included...

Maddox - an incredible steak house up north. Everything was so fresh! It better be. The ranch was right next to the restaurant. You look at a cow as your walking in and think...that might be my dinner. Sigh, kind of sad, but the food was delicious.

Trevor surprised me with the Swiss Family Robinson Room at the anniversary inn in Logan. There was a tree in the middle of our room and a fish tank! A huge jet tub, room service, cheesecake, movies, all the makes of a romantic evening. ;) Thanks honey!

We went and saw Alice in Wonderland the next day and later that night we celebrated good ol' Ty's birthday.

It was quite the weekend.

I have to agree with my cute friend Kylee who already posted about her anniversary. When we were sitting in the temple year ago I didn't think I could love Trevor any more, but as time goes by I am amazed at how much more I love him everyday. We have grown together so much this year and I am so lucky to have him.

Here's to us and years full of excitement and fun to come!

Jealous? You should be!

Meet Sam, the new addition to our family.

He might not be a looker, but he is a natural gas car that we can fill up for $5!

Our 1998 Honda civic came to our family after being owned by the government. He runs like a dream and only has 40,000 miles on him!

I have to say, for his age he is in great shape!

His dashboard still makes me chuckle though...what a glance into the past.

We got him for a great price, especially with a tax credit. I've gotta give it to my husband for finding such a great deal!

He might not be a brand new car or even a car from the 20th century, but he's ours! He is our first big purchase together since we've been married.

Welcome to the fam Sam!

Turkey here we come!

Yes, come May trevor, me, and my family will be making the journey to Antalya, Turkey to enjoy this quaint town and beautiful beaches!

My dad travels the world for his job and occasionally we get lucky and he takes us with him for a family vacation.

It must have slipped

Just got home from teaching a tumbling class.

Two little boys decided to try the class for the first time.

Maybe not the most coordinated of little guys.

I was spotting the older one on a back handspring.

Not wanting him to fall on his head, I was spotting him really close.

He bent his legs.

Flipped backwards.

And right when he was upside down, butt in my face...

He FARTED!

YES, a loud, nasty, wet and juicy fart...in my FACE!

Bah, yuck!!!

Everyone in the room was rolling with laughter.

Couldn't have been better. I couldn't have been more disgusted.

But hey, I guess I was looking for a good laugh.

Laughed for 5 minutes straight. Still laughing.

Congrats Girlies!

This past weekend was cheer nationals in Vegas. I wanted to give a shout out to all my little cheerleaders! I couldn't be more proud of them! We finished out the year with 5 first place trophies and a third place trophy at nationals.

Some of the girls were heartbroken because our goal was an undefeated year. We only got beat by .25 of a point for second place and .9 of a point for first place. SO CLOSE!

The girls looked so great and I hoped they had a great time. It so fun watching them perform and get recognition for a routine they have worked so hard on this year. They have all progressed so much and I was honored to be their coach this year.

Thanks for a great year HEAT WAVE!

My pledge to the world

For the past couple weeks I have been dealing with some real complainers/whiners. I wont go into detail, but needless to say the constant complaining has nearly put me over the top.
For the most part I feel like I am a pretty positive person and I don't think I am entitled to any special treatment...but today I caught myself complaining about things here and there....Urch!!!! Not okay! I refuse to be like these oh so wonderful people who always find something to complain or whine about.
So to all you out there who are listening and care...or don't even care, but still listening...I pledge from this day forward I will not be a complainer or a whiner. I will make the best out of what life gives me and I will do it with a smile on my face and a positive attitude. Not to say I wont fight for what I want, but I refuse to do it whining and complaining.

My new mottos to live by:

Instead of complaining that the rosebush is full of thorns, be happy that the thorn bush has roses. ~Proverb

If you have time to whine and complain about something then you have the time to do something about it. ~Anthony J. D'Angelo, The College Blue Book

morning commute + bad weather = a waste of time

Just got to work after spending over two hours trying to get to school today. By the time I finally got to school my one class for the day was over. What a waste of time and gas. Isn't winter over yet?
