Found what I've been looking for

When I worked at 1-800 Contacts I saw these awesome Wiggle Cars. I've always wanted one ever since. While Justin and I were waiting for our friends to meet us for lunch and went to the store Blickenstaff's at the shops at Riverwoods and there it was! What I had always been looking for. I had to ride them around the store and Justin let us get a couple to have for ourselves. Justin asked the worker if she had one and she said "No, but they will be fun for your kids". We looked at her and said we didn't have kids. She probably thought we were weird but we didn't care. We were having fun! :)

Oh and if you're never been in this store you should go! They have the coolest toys and old fashion candies.

Poor Owen

Poor Owen got his man hood taken away and had to wear the cone of shame. We didn't want to have him be miserable for 10 days so we paid a bit extra to buy him this Comfy Cone. We could fold it down and let him eat his food and not make him feel too confined. At first he thought it was a toy and ran around and then when he realized it wasn't coming off, he wasn't too thrilled. We weren't thrilled either. We didn't leave it on 24/7 and we sure didn't leave it on for 10 days. Since I work at home and could keep an eye on him, I left it off as long as he didn't pick at his stiches and we only made him wear it at night to sleep. He's a stud! :) We sure love him!

SPRING has Come!

I know this winter wasn't that cold but I am SO--- excited for warm weather! We aren't winter sports people and don't go skiing or snowboarding. YES... we live in Utah and I have never been skiing or snowboarding. Justin has been once and he didn't care for it so during the winter we stay in and watch LOTS of movies. I don't like the snow. However, we absolutely LOVE the sun! We like to go hiking, camping, swimming, barbeques, firepits, snow shack, Seven Peaks, mini golf, and more. We're going river rafting in June. This will be my first time and we are pretty excited! There's just so much more to do when it's warm outside!

GUESS WHAT? We've lived in our home for 9 months. That is the longest we've lived anywhere since we've been married and I'm sure glad we'll be here for a few years!

Lady A!!!

I think I'm due for some updates! Here's a photo from the Lady Antebellum concert we went to on Valentine's Day! It was one of the BEST concerts I've been to! Can't wait to see them again! We had pretty nice seats too! I forgot to bring our camera along to things like this but luckily my phone takes pretty good pics!  Till next time Lady A! :)

 

Happy V-Day

For Christmas, Justin got us Lady Antebellum tickets and TODAY IS THE DAY! =D I'm SO--- excited to go see them in concert! I absolutely LOVE them and all their songs. Justin is taking a liking to my kind of country music which has been lovely! Today is also Valentines Day! I admit, I'm not a HUGE fan of Valentines Day. I don't like the color pink, not a fan of chocolate and don't really care to get flowers that end up dying. I know...depressing right? Not depressing at all. I do LOVE having an excuse to get dressed up and go our with my Just. I'm not into the whole lovy dovy romance thing but if it's a day to go on a date with my hubs, well then. I'll take it! =) Especially if it's going to a concert with him!
As of lately there's nothing new. Just been off and on sick with this up and down winter. I wish it would just make up it's mind. We're heading to St. George this weekend with Justin's parents to get some more of grandma Lee's things and Jacobe has a baseball tournament in Mesquite. We're taking Owen along. It will be his first trip with us. We're going to try to go on a hike. I'm sure he's going to love it! He loves going on walks. Even the word "walk" get's him so excited. We have a new primary class. We teach 9 kids and they are all darling! I absolutely love teaching primary but I admit there are a few tiring days.

Well, I best go get ready to go to dinner and see my Lady A! =) Until next time....c ya!

Improve and Do Better

So this year, our New Years Resolution is to just improve who we are and do better. With that said, below is a list of what we will do better and improve at.

 - Attending the Temple: We don't take advantage of this blessing hardly at all and it makes me sad just thinking about it. We always say we need to go but that doesn't mean we do. This is when the whole, "It's easier said then done" shouldn't even be a problem. It's REALLY not that hard to go to the temple and this will be first and foremost on our list. 
- Time Efficiency: I admit we waste our time. There's a lot of time's after work when we will just sit and do nothing because we can, not because we should. We will try to spend this time visiting friends & family, getting something done on the 'List' of things to do, spend quality time together, going to the temple, etc. I'm not saying siting and doing nothing is bad. We just do it a lot it seems.

"Lost time is never found again."
- Benjamin Franklin

- Cooking: There are many nights when eating out sounds so much easier than cooking a meal. It may save time and sound more convenient but let's be honest, is it the cheapest? NO... Time for me to be a better wife and cook. Maybe setting a menu each week will help.
- Finance: This kind of goes along with eating out. We want to pay off the Nissan and put more money away in savings. We want to set a goal to pay off all our debt and put more money away in savings.

All in all we want to be able to feel like we are overcoming our weaknesses and doing the best we can and improving each day instead of feeling like we are falling behind. I'm sure there are other things we can do better and improve at and when things come up, we will do our best.

Here's to trying to do better and improve!

Meet Owen

Owen is the newest member of our family! He's a Miniature Australian Shepherd. He is 8 weeks old and has been so much fun! He's a very smart pup. He already knows his name, how to sit, and is potty trained. We absolutely love him! 

 His favorite spot while I'm working

 The first night he whined unless he was right next to me or Justin so our good friend gave us this teddy bear and said that it may help. It did help and he loves that bear! Thanks Carrie! He even play's hide and seek with the bear.
