Our First Weekend in Utah

Well, we have arrived in Utah and we have survived our first weekend! We got into town on Thursday night around 6 and we had 2 hours to unload our cars and get dinner because Grey's Anatomy Season Finale was going to be on! To say the least, we did it! Friday was Brent's first day of work! He really had a good time. We are really excited and hope that things work out with W.W. Clyde! While Brent was at work, I got our apt all situated!

Here is a picture of the Kitchen!
Here is our cute living room!
Our cozy bedroom!
Thanks to the girls at Home Federal. They got me this really cute Cyclamen and tricked me and took me out to dinner at Costa Vita on my last day! I haven't killed the plant yet so that is good. In fact there is another bloom coming! I work at American Eagle again and that is fun. Talk about old times! I did a floor set and talk about me being RUSTY!! I haven't done that kind of stuff for 3 years. I gotta get back in the groove!! Its a little weird having some free time on my hands too! Its kind of nice once in a while!

Empty Apt

We successfully moved all of our belongings to Burley on Saturday morning. Thanks to family that came and helped! It was greatly appreciated! I only had to work half a day today so I decided that today would be the day to clean our apt.

There in the corner is our only belongings that we are taking with us, other than our clothes in our bedroom and our bathroom stuff!

This is where our washer and dryer used to be! Man its only been one day and I miss them already. I will have to do without them for 8 months. Quarters here we come!!

Oh yes, you can't forget our bedroom. We have our cool air mattress! Who would ever know huh! We slept like babies last night. It was really weird coming home last night to NOTHING! Thank goodness for our friends that like to hang out with us!! Haha

Packing Up

We went to Utah a few weeks ago and we found a furnished apartment in Provo (kitty corner from COSTA VITA!!) and I found a job (AMERICAN EAGLE HERE I COME) all within the first hour that we were there! I told Brent that someone is watching out for us! Well, the time has finally come and we are packing up our stuff. On Saturday, we pulled everything out of our storage closet and it was like Christmas again, we have had our wedding gifts packed away in there since we have gotten married two and a half years ago. So we were so excited when we were cleaning out our closet to see the extra stuff that we have! To say the least I'm a little stressed but it will all work out.

I know you like my mannequin heads that are in that picture, they are from hair school, Gena and Vaneta!! We are packing everything up this weekend and taking it to Burley to put in a storage unit until we find out where we will be for sure in December when Brent graduates. Then the only things that we are taking with us is our suit cases full of clothes, some pots & pans and bedding! We will be leaving Boise next Thursday the 14th after Brent gets done with his last final! I'm so excited for our next adventure!

Easter Bunny Came to Town!

Brent and I had a great weekend! When it comes to Holidays, I'm still a kid! We colored Easter Eggs! That was super fun, my mom gave me the idea of putting rubber bands on the eggs and then put them in the color and it adds a bunch of different lines! Brent used to do this growing up. I defiantly want to do that one next year but I need to remember to get more rubber bands! It really turns out cool looking too.

Then we woke up in on Sunday morning and the Easter Bunny had come to see us!

He hid the eggs for us and so we found them and they were all filled with Reese's cups! Yum yum! He then got Brent some new smellies (as Brent would say) and I got a fancy new shirt! We really had a great time, even though we didn't go home, we tried to make the best out of it. We went to church and enjoyed the lessons that were taught there and then we went out to our friends house and had a nice dinner with them! (They are like our second family away from home! Thanks guys for a great time!!)

GO STEELHEADS!

Wow, a lot has been going on since Valentines!! Brent had Spring Break last week so I took a few days off and we went up to Pasco Washington to see my brother and his family. We had such a great time eating, watching Twilight, going to a hockey game and best of all celebrating Vylett's birthday! Hope you had a good one Vy!

My brother Clint is way into hockey in Washington. Him and his wife have season tickets and they don't miss a game even if its away. So, we decided we should enjoy the experience and we have gone to a few games ourselves. My brother got us Steelheads sweatshirts for Christmas so since then we have been keeping up with whats going on in the hockey world! Last night they had a 2 for 1 deal and you just totally can't pass that up. So Brent took me out on a date to the hockey game! We had such a great time.

Here is a picture of us supporting our local hockey team with our cool matching sweatshirts!
Here is a one of the half time games that they do. Everyone can buy pucks and the goal is to make it land inside of the Commercial Tire targets! Then they just randomly pick a puck that landed inside the target and you win a cool prize! As you can tell, not very many people are very good but its really fun. The pucks are made out of rubber so once they hit the ice, they bounce for a while! If your in the lower bowl you always have to cover your head in case you might get hit! That's really fun to watch!

Here is the cool logo on the ice!

We haven't figured this one out yet, the team is call the Idaho Steelheads but they have a Bear as their mascot wearing a fishing vest!

That is all about the excitement going on right now, we are in the process of getting ready to move in May to Utah for Brent to do his internship with a company in Springville! So we are excited for the new adventure in front of us and we can't wait to see some of our friends in Utah and we will miss the friends in Boise, but we will be back in Aug. for Brent to finish his last sem.

You better watch out MARTHA!

HAPPY VALENTINES!!!

Me and Brent had a great Valentines. He ended up having to go to Reno from Wednesday tell last Saturday night for a Construction Management Competition for school. Brent had a great time and he is really glad that he went! On Tuesday night, I got home from work and he had some really pretty white rose's waiting for me with Madagascar 2! We love that movie, we suggest it to everyone who hasn't seen it yet! So since Brent was going to be gone for the rest of the week, I wanted to make a special day for him. We were thinking that he wouldn't get back on Saturday tell real late, so I had everything all planned out.

I made a pie. Not just any pie, it was a peach pie. What was so special about this pie was that instead of just making the crust and setting it on top, I cut out 48 hearts and used them for the crust! It was so perfect, I was so excited to share with Brent! I was up tell 1:30 on Friday making the pie, it was the funnest pie I have ever made by far. I found the idea from Martha Stewart and I think that I have her beat by far!! What do you think?

Martha's Pie

MY PIE!! She better watch out, I'm going to put her out of business!!!

Then, I figured out that since Brent would be home late he probably wouldn't want to go out to dinner so I went to Papa Murphy's and got a heart shaped pizza.

Well to say the least, Brent made it home by 7 on Saturday night and so we had some yummy pizza, pie and watched our movie! (I also washed his pick-up Burt for him and then got him a new wallet! The one he has, he got it when he was in high school. Way past time!!!)

We had a great Valentines! I'm so glad to have Brent back home with me! Martha, you better watch out, I'm going to put you to shame!!!!

Brent's Birthday

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BRENT!!!! It was Brents birthday 2-2-09. We ended up celebrating it on Saturday the 31st with our friends because they had class on the night of his birthday. So I wanted to make Brent's birthday special for him this year since he is 25 now! So we had a gift card to go to WAHOOZ. It is probably our favorite place to go. They have lots of arcade games, go carts, miniature golf. We got $25 in tokens and split them between 4 of us.

Here is Brent playing one of our favorite games...you have to move the joy stick to catch the chickens eggs! Its totally a little kid game...but we just love it!!

Here is our friends Brandon and Ashlee playing the Spider game!

After playing around for a while we got hooked on a few games! After figuring out how they work we started to get a lot of tickets! Lets just say that its a good thing that I don't go to Vegas very often because I could seriously have an addiction to gambling! Haha Brent probably got over 300 tickets with just one token!

Here is Ashlee, she was an expert at this one game....she got a lot of tickets too!!!

After we counted up all of our tickets we had about 651 points! Haha we were really excited. So we got two hammers (as you can tell what Brent is holding) and some candy! Brandon and Brent had some wars with their blow up hammers!!!

After Wahooz we went to dinner at the Olive Garden! Wow, we haven't been there for a while and it was great! Really hit the spot!

Thanks to Ashlee and her creativity, she made Brent a cool cake...with grass and then we topped it off with a golf ball! Since golfing is Brents favorite thing to do!! He got a new golf bag and a Boise State towel for his birthday. He is all set to go and can't wait for spring time to come! Thanks Brent for being such a great husband and I can't wait to spend the next 60 birthdays with you!!! Love ya!!
