Welcoming 2012

I hope everyone had a great Hoilday Season, I know we Did! We got to have a small early Christmas with Chris’s siblings before Jenna and Julia went back to Ohio for Christams. Then Chris and I had our own little Christmas on Christmas Day! It was so nice to spend some time together and just relax for the day! Then went up to my aunt’s house for dinner and my nana and papa were there! It is always nice to see them because we don’t get to see them very often! I really want to take Chris California because he has never been! Then the next day Chris took me to the airport so I could go home to Georgia for a week! It was really emotional at the airport because we have been married for a year and a half now and have not spent time apart. But it was important to us that at least I go home for a while!

While I was home I got to know my niece and nephew better which was great! They are so adorable! Caleb is getting so big and he is so full of energy! He loves the power rangers so he was trying to fight me as if he was one! Little miss Maya is so stinking cute I just couldn’t get enough of her! She is a girly girl and so prissy! I even caught he walking around with my Juicy Purse on her shoulder (which is about the same size as her!)

I got to use tiff’s car, which was really nice that I didn’t have to worry about transportation and fighting over the cars. I wish I had taken more  pictures! I was staying at the girls apartment and they both have really cute little dogs! Alfie and Bruiser (booze) ! Booze is alex’s dog and he is so cute he is like a giant ball of fur I just wanted to stick him in my purse and take him home with me!

On Thursday Tiff and I went to the Georgia Aquarium! it was really cool i had never been there before so i was such a fun experience! they have so really Pretty Fish and other Sea Creatures. we were standing by the Beluga whales and it was so funny cause i had just asked Tiffanee if they poop and she didn't know and then all of a sudden like a chain reaction they all pooped with there butts towards just! it was gross but i got my answer! when we were in the room with the Huge tank it was just so calming!  

I got to see my cousin Josh and his Wife Kylie and finally meet their little angel Lexi she is so adorable! so Tiff and i went out there on friday morning which was a hassle just to get there because we kept getting turned around! needless to say he lived in the middle of nowhere! we stopped at a gas station to get gas near their house and a chicken was just walking around the parking lot! 

On Friday Night I got to go over to the Leonard's house and see them! I was so excited i literally planned my trip around them so i could see them when they got home from vacation! I hadnt seen Luke in over 2 years because he was on his mission! They are my favorite family in snellville other then my own! it was just like old times just hanging out and playing Five Crowns! I loved Every Minute of it!

For New Year's Eve we went to visit Lindsay and the kids for a little while and then up to Alex's restaurant and back to my parents house to send new years with them! Meagen was with me and Brea came over to my parents house! My Vacation was so much Fun but it was So nice to get back to my husband and to get back into our normal routine. my normal Routine doesnt start until next week when School starts and i go back to work! but this week i'm working on getting the house back in order and taking Christmas decortations down! We also Finally got our Package From the Cabe Family of our Christmas gifts from them. Chris's dad got us outfits from India that were really cool!  We got in total this year 8 movies for Christmas! 

We have also made our goals for the year which I am really excited about! here is my list of goals for 2012

1.Get all A's & B's in my classes by studying, attending class and doing my work

2. Loose about 15-20 more pounds by going to the gym everyday and eating better

3. Do a Semi-Vegetarian Diet, No red meat, Fish & chicken Sparingly 

4. Save Money - No unneeded Purchases

5. Start looking for house to move in August Hopefully.

7. Get my passport so i can go on a cool vacation!

8. Have Chris build me a shelf in the bathroom for my hair and other accessories

End Of Summer

Well I know its been a long time since i last updated our blog but i'm not going to lie we had a little bit of a rough Summer. July was the worst...we had some serious trials that really were difficult to over come, and if Chris was not as strong as he is i don't think i would have made it through. He is the best husband i could have ever asked for, Hes always there to hold me up when i'm starting to fall. 

On a better note August Started off great We had family come in to town because of Cameron & Kylee's Wedding and all of Chris's family stayed with us. just imagine a small 2 bedroom house with with 8 people in it for a week. not much space! but it was a lot of Fun. The wedding was Very Beautiful and the Temple session was fantastic. I have never seen Chris Cry that much :) it was Sweet. After the Temple they took Pictures outside.

After all the Family Left Except for Julia (because she is going to BYU) things started to get back to normal with work and getting the house clean again. I was Starting to get really excited for school to start and to get new hours at work since i would be going to school at night. Then another trial hit. i was Let go at work along with about 150 other people. I am still ever so thankful that Chris was not one of them. I think the mass let go was because they anticipated that the company would be bigger then it ended up being at the end of the summer but that's just my theory. I'm not angry or hurt i'm actually a lot happier now not working there! i did still attend the great party that Staycee planed  for all the customer support reps. it was a lot of fun, I was nervous about going because i had just been let go  two days before but i was there to Support Great Friends and my Husband. But i did get a new job in what i think is record time! i was laid off on the 18th i went home started looking for jobs in a frenzy and had an interview on the 23rd (My Birthday!!) Got called about the Job on the 24th. So got a job in less then a week of being let go! that is was a call a miracle! But my New job is great! i'm a Researcher/Receptionist for a company called The Public Group. we are a government auction site where they can auction off any of there surplus items and people can buy them. so its basically E-Bay for the Government!

Did i already mention that i have the Best husband in the world because i really do!! He got me the greatest birthday present ever!! First because i was laid off he wasnt sure if we could afford it so he made me a cute little cardboard iPad. but then after i got my job and my school money back we went out and bought me a real one! Like i Said

 BEST HUSBAND EVER!!!

So  School has begun and i never have to go back to LDSBC I transferred to UVU this fall and i absolutely love it!! I get lost on campus at least once a week and its a huge campus so i'm getting a lot of exercise. which is always a plus! My classes this semester are great! since its my first time at an actual university i decided to take a Student Success class because i'm actually going to have to study for tests in this school and i might need some new ideas on how to study! I'm also taking an Astronomy class that is taught by one of the ladies in my ward. she just recently graduated from BYU and is teaching at UVU! shes really nice! I do have one Saturday class which isn't as bad as i thought it was going to be. Its Art History and i am fascinated by the ancient art that we study. I also find it sad that we look at this art and the ruins of the cities that they were created in and think of how beautiful these places must have been in their prime and wish that if there wasn't the need to conquer every piece of  land we want then maybe these places would be preserved better. My favorite class by far this Semester is Intro to  Criminal Justice! 

I was really worried about this class because this was the decision point for my major. if i didn't like the class then i know i was not going to enjoy my major and would once again have to re-evaluate what it is i want to do with my life! but this Semester so far has just confirmed for that i want to work for the FBI. Chris and i have talked about it and i have some what started training for Quantico because after graduation i plan to attend there for Special agent training. its a 21 week course that i would go to and live there. but it will be nice because you still get paid while your there. Since i dont want to have kids right after school because i will just be starting my career we have decided that we are going to start trying this year and the next! So while i'm away training at Quantico Chris will be the great stay at home dad! which was our plan from the beginning! 

Chris is still working at Vivint and he seems to be enjoying it! i know he really likes the people he works with at least! and he is in the running for a new team lead position which will be a nice little pay raise along with more responsibly! but i know that he can handle it! because he thrives off of pressure!! which is the TOTAL opposite of me!  

But Until Next Time!!

★New Home★

Chris and I have finally started our new jobs at Vivint! it was defiantly a long two weeks of driving back and forth from salt lake to Provo every day but we did it! last weekend we rented a U-haul and moved all of our stuff down to Provo and into our new home.  we now live in the main floor of a house and have neighbors that live in the basement. Our house is a two bed one bath with a huge eat in kitchen! we have a fire place that has a mantel that we have decorated with pictures and some other small trinkets. We are very Great full for Spencer and Staycee Hutchings for finding us the house to live in! and our new jobs. but here are a few pictures so you can see how we have decorated our new home so far! chris has done such a wonderful job making it feel like home.

Bought My First Car!

Well Chris and I have now been married for 10 months and it has been an exciting road to take! without realizing the date yesterday i went to the bank to do the final paper work for getting a car loan! and as i was signing the papers i realized that it was our 10 months!

I also got my Offer letter from Vivint and i start working there June 6th! i am so excited!! Chris has an interview with Vivint on Thursday and if all goes well he will start May 23!

But as i was saying about the car! Our old car we were planning on giving to one of Chris's siblings to use while they were out here for college but something happened and it was going to cost us over 1000 dollars to fix! we were already in the market for a new car any ways this just made the process speed up a bit! i cant express how thankful i am the Chris works for the church right now and found out that they sell cars! we got our 2007 Silver Toyota Corolla for a really good price! its beautiful!! 

Until Next Time

❤☮Life's Changing!☮❤

The Past few months have been extremely difficult for me with work and school. i feel as though i haven't been myself because i don't have any time to. if i wasn't at school i was at work or climbing into bed. and that is not how i want to live my life right now. i have been depressed and its not what i need. i feel that i work to much and i don't like my job. i dread going to work every day and pray that i'm not going to get yelled at for something stupid. i'm ready for something new. something thats not going to make me smell bad or hate a food i loved at one time.
Now School is over and we have decides to move our lives from Salt lake city down to Provo. Neither of us have ever want to live in Happy Valley and the decision didn't come easy! a couple weeks ago we went down to Provo to visit with some of our good friends Staycee and Spencer Hutching so that Chris and Staycee could practice for Open Mic Night at Velour Live music Gallery and we were talking about moving and me wanting to find a new job and how frustrating looking for both a new job and apartment are. Spencer Causally said how awesome it would be if we moved to Provo but i protested and said that BYU doesn't have my Major and he suggested that UVU might so we got on the computer and sure enough they do. Staycee soon chimed in and said that she could get us both jobs at Vivint (in different departments of course). so we decided to start considering Provo as a moving option and prayed to find out if it was the right thing for us to do! each day we started to feel like this is the right thing for us. Staycee even helped us find an apartment in their ward. we have been truly blessed to have them in our lives to help us with our move to Provo.
I had an interview at Vivint on Tuesday and i was really nervous about it. I was a little shaky at first but once i got comfortable things started to smooth over. I really think that i will enjoy working at Vivint the people in charge seem to be upbeat and encouraging. The whole atmosphere was fantastic and positive. I loved everything about it!

Later that night Staycee and Chris sang at Velour and did such a good job! I Love listening to Chris play music and sing!
