Happy birthday to my beautiful "sista friend". I love this girl so much...she is truly my best friend! I LOVE YOU...HaPpY bIrThDaY!!!

Happy Valentines Day...

We had such an awesome weekend! It all started on Friday night...we have a new little thing that we are doing...each Friday night we get a pizza from Papa Murphy's, come home, and watch a movie. All throughout the week I don't really get to see Dallas a whole lot because he's in school most of the time and he gets home really late...so Friday night lets us spend some much needed time with each other. Then on Saturday we celebrated Valentines Day with one of our favorite couples, Adam and Ashley. We celebrated the day by going out to eat at Rodizio Grill, then later we went to the movie "Valentines Day". I personally thought the movie was really good. It was a perfect love movie for the holiday. I'm so happy that I have my cute husband to celebrate this holiday with. He is so good to me and I LOVE him so much! Sunday was pretty much a normal day, but we did have dinner at my Grandma Gerda's house to Celebrate Kailee's birthday. Then on Monday I had the day off due to the Presidents Day holiday...I spent majority of my time off cleaning my house. Kind of sad that this is what I did on my day off, but at least my house is clean. It always makes me feel better when my house is clean! Well I hope everyone else had a great Valentines Day.

Date Night...

Dallas and I had a very fun date night on Saturday. He took me out to dinner to Chipotle, then we went bowling at Bountiful Bowl, and after we got some ice cream on our way home. Usually I'm not one who is willing to go bowling (it's just not my sport), but I actually had a really fun time...I love spending time with my cute hubby!!

Happy 24th Birthday Babe...

Dallas had his birthday yesterday and he turned the big 24. If any of you know Dallas he is one of the hardest people to shop for. He never knows what he wants, so it makes it hard to know what to get him for his presents. Well, one day we were walking out of the mall and we were talking about how his birthday was coming up. He mentioned that all he wanted for his birthday was for "his" room upstairs to be finished. As I got thinking about how to make this happen I came up with a great plan. I called his friend James and arraigned for him to invite Dallas to St. George for the weekend. That way with him out of the house I could decorate the room and not worry about him seeing it. So everything went as planned and he left on Thursday (Jan. 21st). On Friday, after work, I had my dad meet me at my house and we put his desk together. Then on Saturday Debbie came over and we decorated the whole room. After the room was put together Kailee came over and we went to Zurcher's to get party stuff, as I had planned for family and friends to come over for a surprise party. Here's how the final product turned out...

After a very long and sleepless weekend it was finally time for Dallas to come home, and the party to start. Everyone came over early...we hung out and watched the end of the Vikings/Saints game and ate some snacks. He finally came home around 8:40, and everyone was hiding in his room. I met him in the garage, blindfolded him, and helped him up the stairs. When he was in front of the door I took the blindfold off and that's when he got to see his surprise. It was so fun to see how happy he was that everyone was there for him and that his office was all put together. I think he really, truly was surprised. I may have started to give it away because I called probably one too many times, but all in all I think it went really good...and I appreciate everyone coming over and being there for him on his day. Thanks again everyone for coming and making his birthday so much fun!! Here are some pictures from the party...

*Hope you had a wonderful birthday babe...I LOVE YOU very much!!*

He's So Good To Me...

Dallas went to St. George over the weekend to spend sometime with his friends for his birthday while I stayed home. He left on Thursday after work, so he met me at my work to say goodbye. I have to admit when the idea first came for him to go down I didn't think it would be that big of a deal since it was only 3 days, but that first night being alone was the worst ever. I cried all the way home and cried even more when I got home and saw what was waiting for me. I walked in and these beautiful flowers were sitting on my table with a cute little note. It was so quiet around my house and it just felt so weird to not have him around and to talk to. This time apart definitely made me appreciate him so much more and made me realize how much I need him in my life. I LOVE YOU so much babe...THANK YOU for all you do for me!!

*He's probably going to kill me for putting this up, but it was just so cute I had to.*

Better Late Than Never...

So I realize that I'm super late on this post, but I guess it's better late to post it then to never post it. My mom and Matt were sealed in the Salt Lake temple on January 5th 2010 and we couldn't be more happy for them. My mom and Matt have been through so much in the 7 years they have been married. My mom is so beautiful and deserves the best...so THANK YOU MATT for giving my mom the world and so much more. I know that all of us kids are so thankful that you give our mother the love she deserves.

My New Year's Resolutions...

• Eat Healthier
• Do a better job at attending all my church meetings
• Finish decorating our house
• Strive to be a better wife/person
• Visit Dallas’s mission
• Overcome a fear
• Plan an incredible 2 year wedding anniversary celebration
• Go to another Denver Broncos game (possibly even a Cowboy game)
• Reach for further growth within my company
• Be better at taking pictures
• Use my blog as a journal…use it to capture all of our experiences, even the smallest moments

I’m usually not the person who takes time to think about what my resolutions will be each year, but with this New Year I now have a different outlook. I find myself trying to remember what certain things I accomplished throughout the year and can never seem to remember all that I had done. So this year I’m trying something new. I’m going to write down my goals so at the end of the year I can see whether or not I accomplished them. This is just the beginning of my list…I’m sure that it will continue to grow over time. And by the looks of it 2010 is going to be a pretty eventful year. I’m not sure that all of these things will happen, but at least I’m attempting to achieve them by considering them as something I want to accomplish.
