NEW HOUSE

Well its been awhile since I have posted anything, as I'm sure you noticed if you have check out this blog at all lately. But latest new is this: I finally sold the townhouse and I'm building a new house! It is all very exciting, strange, a little stressful, but I am really looking forward to it. After having the townhouse on the market for some time, I got an offer, accepted and last Monday, the 22nd, I signed the papers to make it official. Until my new house is finished my parents have been so kind as to let me live at their house. Its a little strange after having my own space for so long, but its not so bad. It is amazing how much stuff you really have when you have to move it out of somewhere that you have been living for 7 years. Much thanks to my awesome family for all the help. Dad, Todd, Jason, Justin and cousin Jeff for coming over and moving all my worldly possessions into the storage pod. Even if it did annoy the neighbors- not going to miss that. To Nick and Justin for packing out even more, and mostly to mom for packing, cleaning, packing, cleaning and everything else. It is a relief to have that part of it done. Now for the fun part of watching my house come together. I'll do my best to keep you updated, for now here are the 1st pictures of my new home. It is in Lehi--love the location, and am excited for the new adventure!

Work Christmas Party

It was the annual work party last night. I have to say this year was a lot better than last year for me. It was at the Grand America in SLC again, but the entertainment this year was so much better. They hired a hypnotist this year and it didn't disappoint. I love watching hypnotist shows, its crazy to watch people up on stage doing whatever they are told. It was a lot of fun and a lot of laughs. And as always its good to be with good work friends. Going to work wouldn't be the same without them. The party always reminds me how lucky I am to have a job I like and work with people that are fun and that I consider good friends. Merry Christmas!!

Dashboard Confessional

The girls and I went to the Dashboard Confessional concert on Friday night. It was at a club, In the Venue, in SLC. We had such a good time. I really enjoyed the concert even though I didn't know tons of their music. The whole concert was acoustic, and it rocked. He did sing Vindicated and Stolen which are two of my favs. I have to say I couldn't sing a long with all the songs, but they have a ton of fans in Utah. It was good times!

BYU VS UTAH game

Well it was the last game of the regular season-home against Utah. The Utes beat the Cougars last year. Its always a crazy game and this year was no exception. It went to over time this year, and I was so worried the entire game. But looking back now I can appreciate more the game, but while in the middle of it I wasn't sure what was going to happen. But the Cougars ended up winning in overtime, with and awesome TD pass from Hall to George. I could watch it over and over again. Mom and I hung out afterwards, mostly because we couldn't make ourselves leave yet(or more I couldn't leave). BYU also wore throw back jerseys from 25 years ago, which was so cool. I love seeing them come out of the tunnel wearing old cougar blue. Awesome win and a great way to end the season!

Aubrey's Blessing

Just a few pictures from Aubrey's blessing day. She wore the dress Nicole was blessed in that my mom made and she wore the little booties that I wore when i was blessed, which I thought was really cool--totally retro!

Cali Trip & Jazz Game

Mom and I went to Newport Beach, CA for a few days. For me it was complete, R&R--mom had to go to meetings yay for her! It was a great couple of days, I pretty much spent most of my time at the beach, laying by the pool or at the mall. It was a great little getaway before the holiday's hit and the weather was fantastic, I didn't want to come home!

Ally & I went to our 1st Jazz game of the season, Jazz vs Spurs--Jazz won so it was a good night! I realized I didn't take too many pictures of either occasion so I decided to post them together.

Concert Time

I do enjoy a good concert. The girls and I (Dede, Laura & Adrienne) hit the Mat Kearny concert. It was so good! I had wanted to see him for awhile and he came to SLC in October. I had do much fun. Laura was able to get the set list from the lighting guy, which I think is a cool thing to get. Thanks girls--it was a great night!
