One Year!

One year ago on August 15, the best day had occurred. Our faces show how amazing it was as we just walked out of the temple being sealed for time and all eternity.

I can't believe Steven and I had already celebrated our first year anniversary! We spent a lovely weekend together. I wasn't really expecting anything huge but just something very nice and relaxing enjoying each others company since we have such busy schedules. And that's exactly what we did. Thursday after work we drove up to Salt Lake City and stayed at the Sheraton Hotel there in downtown. We enjoyed the lovely breakfast at the hotel as well as ate at Happy Sumo (Thanks Dan and Sonia!) Friday night we saw the movie Salt...Pretty good! Saturday we got to sleep in (loved it) and walked around farmers market, I wanted to buy so much food it was ridiculous, everything looked and smelled yummy! We then went up to Sugarhouse (love this place!) and got a couples massage...boyy was that a treat! afterwards we just relaxed some more out by the pool at the hotel and walked around downtown. Just when I thought we were about to head home after a fun surprise of the massage, my lovely husband throws out that we are going to see Lion King on Sunday afternoon( way cheaper). I was thrilled and couldn't stand it; I felt like a little kid that cant sleep the night before going to Disneyland! The show was absolutely amazing! It just topped off the whole weekend. I am the luckiest girl ever. Steven is the best husband ever and I love him so much. Here are a few pictures (not enough) of the weekend.

Happy Birthday Esteban!

On Steven's Birthday we drove down to So-Cal and partied with his family and my mom and Addie came for the ride as well since they were visiting in town :) We had a Barbeque and some yummy Cake that I made for him. We had lots of fun spending time with the fam and spending time in Cali!

Also the Monday before his birthday, we had a little surprise party for steven at our place with my family and the Ives as well. We had a toy story theme with army men crawling all over his cheesecake :)
Big 23 was a partyyyyyyy

Bad Blogger

Mostly positive things like vacations and catching some rays! This will be a short post, but I will post some more pictures later.

Happy Days are Sunny Days!

Boy has it been awhile since I've been on here wow. But I must say that I have a valid reason. I'm flat out BUSY! There have been many changes since my last post so bear with me on this one! First of all I will be finishing school A LOT sooner than planned. I just recently switched to full time school going 1:30-10 Tues - Thurs and 9-4:30 Fri-Sat. On top of that I'm still working full time at Pinnacle Security! full time work, full time school...call me CRAZY! It does get to me at times and I have definitely had my breakdowns! Having a wonderful husband comes in handy during times like those to motivate me! He always tells me how proud he is of me and appreciates all the hard work I do and how it will all be worth it next year. Next year? Yes Next year I will be graduating!! not two years like before which I am SO Stoked about!!! Once I'm finished at Paul Mitchell, life will be just simply amazing. I'll be doing something I LOVE while Steven finishes up his schooling in Engineering. Yes he did change his major again, but not so far from what he was originally doing (mathematics). We both are still MADLY in love with each other and love every minute we get to spend together....which is our Sundays, Mon, Fri and Sat nights. We have been married for 10 months now, and boy have these past months flown by!

Lately with the time we have together we love to just chill and set new goals or achievements we want to do both together and personally. My recent goal is getting back into shape. I've had this set since the beginning of the year and I have struggled with it so much in the beginning that I sort of gave up. Since I got a pass at Gold's Gym, I've been so motivated and never regret any visit I make to the gym! I've also become more OBSESSED with fruit and vegetables. I have always loved fruit as my mom can vouch for me too, but man a day without at least 1 piece of fruit nowadays I feel grody. Since I have started eating healthy for about 2 months or more now I have noticed a TREMENDOUS difference in my attitude and lifestyle. I can barely sit through a tv show on the couch ( I would rather go outside or explore fun crafts), I have more energy!(which is hard to believe since I wake up at 5 almost everyday now) People have been complimenting me on how I look like I've lost weight( I dont think I have but it sure feels like it and definitely boosts my self esteem!) I HATE any fast food! ( everytime I try to eat it. I get sick!) SOOO....guess what My first goal of the year is ACHIEVED!!! YAHOO!!! I forgot how good it feels to acheive something I have wanted for so long! Now that I got this first one off the list the second one will only take time, My exercise and weight loss.

Besides these life changing events that have occurred, I have to add in that I am also in a happier mood because its WARM!!! I love watching the sunrise everyday and have my car nice and toasty when I leave work. On top of it being so nice outside, July is going to be an absolutely FABULOUS month! My family comes out on the 1st to bring my little brother Jordan out to school and becuase they miss us ;) and my mom and Addie will stay with us for about a week until we go on pure VACATION! About a week filled with Beach, Disneyland, Family and Lake Powell! Oh how I am so in need of a break I can hardly wait! Bring it on Summer!!

The Last Song

Tonight I saw the movie The Last Song. I totally did not expect the movie to be what it was. It looked like just another love story - a summer romance themed film. Wow was I thrown off! I was balling during the movie and still thinking about it makes me cry. It is such a touching film to me in SO many different ways and man was I thinking about my family the whole time! Rather than it being about the romance - Veronica/Ronnie's (Miley) dad ends up dying from cancer and the whole reason she went to his home for the summer was so he could enjoy spending one last time with them (since parents are divorced) before he passes. I know it seemed like a cheesy Miley Cyrus movie but I actually loved it and want to buy it when it comes out! Here's some clips of the video as well as my new favorite Miley song - yes I do like some of her music and No I don't think I look like her no matter how many comments I get about it.

This is our new home!

I still have a little decorating to do, but this is it so far! Also my camera died before I could get more pictures, so...this is all for now!
