Christmas Holiday

On December 23rd my mom, Mike, grandparents, aunt Pam, Dad and I went to Rachel and Bryan's house for our family Christmas party, plus my dad's bday party!  We ate some tasty food, then opened Christmas presents with my grandparents and aunt, then opened birthday presents with my dad!

Hope you had a great birthday Pop pop!!

On Christmas Eve I got out of work around 2, did a few errands, packed my bags and headed up to Cedar City to spend the night with Kevin at his parents house!! Kevin, his sister Megan and her husband Ryan drove down from Midvale and made it to the house around 4:30. I made it shortly after.  We all hung out and played games!!  First we ate delicious hamburgers, then started to play games!! We played Taboo for a while, then switched to a game I have never played before called Balderdash, it was very fun! Then we played Catch Phrase for a while, told stories... then went to bed.

Christmas morning we all got out of bed, then opened presents around 11:30. I got a cute new shirt, new sweater, gloves, perfume, lotion, new hat and a gift card to Aero!!  It was so nice!

The big thing I gave Kevin for Christmas was a new Blackberry Tour phone! He has been wanting one since his other phone was giving him trouble. He loved it and was speechless when he opened it!! It was quite a site to see  :)    After we opened presents we ate a tasty breakfast and played more Catch Phrase!! We all highly enjoyed that game! I had such a great time with them!!
 Here are a few pictures from the morning!

 Kevin trying on his awesome new sweater!

I got him a Mtn Dew shirt!






Then Kevin and I left and headed out to my sisters house to open presents with the Wilson's and my dad. I got a cute sign my sister made, a game, some treats, a gift card and socks!!  Then Kevin and I headed home then got ready to head to my mom's house. We got to her house and ate dinner, she made some tasty soup and Rachel made some spinach dip. Then we opened presents with them I got a awesome beanie Mike made for me a gift card!

It was a very nice Christmas weekend and had fun spending time with my family!

I'm glad I got to spend it with Kevin too! He is so awesome, Amazing to me, I'm sooo glad I have him in my life!!


Here are some pictures!

Thanksgiving!

This Thanksgiving we all went to my sister Rachel's house! We ate around 2, it was very delicious! For dessert we had pumpkin pie, apple pie and my sisters home made cheese cake! MMMmmm. It was so tasty.
After we ate we played apples to apples and told stories.

After we hung out with my family we headed up to Cedar City to spend some time with Kevin's family. We ate some food there too! Then we played Rummy Cube for a while, it is one of my favorite games, so it was fun to play! Over all it was a fun day, it was nice to see so many family members!

Here are a few pictures from the day!

Mozy.com!

What would you do for a free tshirt?

Well let me tell you what I did. I play a trivia game on twitter and the sponsor of the last game was a site called mozy.com they offer a great online back up solution. They said they will give you a free shirt if you Did something for it. I Really wanted one of these shirts, for Kevin cause it fits him..since he is nerdy, so I was determined to get one.

What I did was wear a sign around the office that said "Mozy.com is Awesome!!"

Here are a few pictures










Me at my desk

A awesome co-worker and I chatting

Heading out to lunch!

On my way home I drove home with my sign on my truck!
So thats what I did! It brought a little excitment to the usual Manic Monday!

Recently...

The past week has been kind of crazy for me!

Last Thursday I left work because I wasn't feeling well, and it all spiraled down hill from there. From Thursday to Monday all I did was lay in bed and watch tv, it was horrible and boring! I had some type of viral infection that made me weak, have a cough, sore throat, achy body, cough, and some. I think its the sickest I've been in my life and I never want to life through that again! my mother and father helped me out a lot too! I still have a small cough left, but I'm feeling much better!

Its seems like its hard not to get sick now days since its going around. Yesterday there was a coughing orchestra in my office, yes, lots of people around me are sick. I think we should take a few days and de-containment the building!!

I was sad I missed all the Halloween festivities, but I got to see some good pictures!
Here are a few pictures of my cute nephews!

Conner as a cute baby chicken!


Brayden as a Lion!


The boys with a few neighbor kids




Here are a few other cute pictures!






I only have three tests for my Stat class then I am done! Well 2 chapter tests and the final!
I will be SOOOOOO happy when I pass and I'm done!


Well I hope you are all having a great week, I know I'm looking forward to the weekend!

Birthday weekend! ... and some.

So last Sunday was my 22nd birthday! On Saturday a few friends and I went to Benja's for dinner! One of my favorite places in town. Here are a few pictures!




Jason and I!



Then after Benja's and a few other friends and I went to Mesquite for a BIRTHDAY BINGO BASH! One of my friends that went won, but I didn't.. PSH! But it was still fun. I gambled with only $5 and was up to $50.. in the end I won $18... so not too bad! Here are a few pictures of the bingo adventure.








For my birthday day I had a family party! My mom made my favorite chicken dish, my father made mashed potato's! And my sister made her delicious homemade chocolate cake! My family also gave me a bunch of my favorite treats, including homemade granola!! MMMM!! And some good body products!

Then after we ate we played my favorite game "Phase Ten". It was a very enjoyable little party!



Two weeks ago my sister that lives in California came down for a 2 week visit before she leaves to travel! So we all decided to take a family picture.




Now days I am just working full time and doing homework at night. I am taking my final class for graduation, which is Statistics. Math has never been my favorite, but I am taking the online class and so far it seems to be easier. On my first test I got a 90%, which yes, I was quite proud of :)

Well, that's all for now, I hope you all have a great weekend!
My plans so far are:
1. get a massage
2. go see my mom
3. mop my kitchen floor
4. go shopping with little brother
5. be lazy
6. watch a movie with my boy!
7. sleep.
