Valentine's

On pinterest I found a cute idea to do for Valentine's day for Dustin. Each day leading up to Valentine's day I would give Dustin a treat with a cute saying that went along with the treat. So on February 1st I was at work on pinterest ;) writing down all of the treats I needed to buy. Then a couple of minutes later Michelle who I work with comes up and says that she found this cute idea on pinterest. So she tells me and I say "I want to do that too!! I have a list of all the treats I need to buy" Great minds think a like ;) So on our lunch we went to good old Walmart to buy all of our treats!!!
So that night I got home late from work and Dustin was already asleep so I put 2 treats 1 for the 1st and the other for the 2nd, on the bathroom counter for him to get when he woke up. So that next morning when he came to give me a kiss goodbye he says "who did that" ummm I don't know if it was just early or what so I said "I don't know" and he just stands there kind of confused. Um one of the treats was donut holes and the saying was "Donut you know I love you a Hole bunch" So I said to him "who do u think did it crazy" Then I think it sunk in and he realized it was from me and he thanked me and went to work. Crazy kid!!!!
So the next 13 days each night or morning I would put his treats around the house for him to get. I think he liked all the treats he got. And maybe just maybe I like them a little to much too!! LOL
So on Valentine's day I wanted to give him the chocolate candy with the saying "I love you more than Chocolate and that is saying a lot" ;) and give him a shirt or something along with it. But Dustin needs new tires and other stuff for his car so that is his Valentine's, birthday, anniversary, and christmas all wrapped in one because they are so Expensive!!! ;)
So Valentine's day came and don't get me wrong I love my husband but he is really not a romantic ;) So I wasn't expecting anything from him cause I told him I wanted to go to dinner and a movie so I thought that is my present I'm fine with that. But when I got home from work I went into our room to change and I see a paper with my name on it all folded on our bed. He wrote me a letter telling me how much he loves me and stuff. AWWWWW love him!!!!!
So this weekend we are going to go to dinner to MADDOX!!! and then to a movie I'm hoping he will take me to The Vow but we'll see ;)
But I just have to say I love my Valentines!!!! Dustin is such a great husband!! I am so grateful to have him in my life!! I LOVE HIM SO SO SO MUCH!!!! So glad he is MINE!!!!

Hope everybody had a great valentine's!!! Love you all!!!!

Brian Regan 1/20/12

A couple of months ago I found out that Brian Regan was coming to Salt Lake and I have wanted to go to one of his shows but everytime I find out he is coming it is to late and all the tickets are sold out. So this time I found out before they even went on sale. And to let you know me and my friend Jacki have always said the next time he comes we have to go. So when I found out he was coming and the tickets were going on sale I had to tell Jacki and I told my family because they love him too!! So both her family and my family wanted to go so we just decided to go seperate :( But atleast we both got to go to Brian Regan so that was ok for us!! So we just bought our tickets seperate.
That night my sister, parents, and I went to dinner before the show to Macaroni Grill minus Brad and Hilary, Brad couldn't get off work early enough so we were just going to meet them at the show. Dinner was good until the very end of my meal for some reason I took a bite and my chicken alfredo just tasted like tuna fish. Wierd I know!!! So I was done so I just colored on the the table until everyone else was done like a kid ha ha ha. If you ever been the tables have paper on top and the waiter or waitress writes their name with a crayon. So yep I was like 4 and was coloring with the crayons ;)
So we went to the show and while walking to the show from the resturant, I get a text from Jacki asking where the key and garage door opener was for her parents house. (Side note I watched their animals and house sat while they went to Florida). So I knew they were coming to Brian Regan that night too so I said after the show I'll call you and meet u somewhere to give them to you. So we are sitting waiting for the show to start and about 5 minutes before the show starts who walks through the door right where we are sitting. Jacki and her family their seats are right next to us!!! It was so awesome it was truly meant to be that me and Jacki got to watch it together. Kind of weird but AWESOME!!!! His show was awesome!!!! My face and stomach were so sore from laughing so much!!! He is HILARIOUS. If you have never heard him look him up he is so funny and his jokes are clean so that is a plus.


Heres a little video from one of his shows I found on youtube


It was such a good night to spend with my family and also got to watch him with my good friend Jacki!!!! It was so meant to be for us to watch him together ha ha ha!!!!

Christmas 2011

Well it is almost February and I'm just posting about Christmas ;) But this past christmas was such a fun one. My sister Lisa and her family got to come from Oklahoma and we all got to spend christmas together!!! Also I got to meet my nephew Ryan for the first time!! Well the night before Lisa and her family flew in we celebrated christmas with Dustin's family. Since Dustin's mom passed we decided to keep her tradition of having smoked turkey and other yummies she always made for christmas. This was the second year we have done it and had Dustin's grandparents, dad, sister, and her kids over for dinner. It was a little stressful because I was making everything myself and I didn't want to mess anything up specially because these were Jan's recipes. But I was lucky enough that everything turned out good, I wouldn't say perfect because Jan wasn't here and she wasn't the one making it :( sure miss her and her good cooking!!!
Dustin, Blake, Brittany, Keenan, and Starr(missing Dakota and Sienna)

So the next day we went and picked the Walkers up from the airport. Dustin and I were the first ones there and we were standing and looking at when there flight was supposed to arrive and I looked down and who do I see..............EMMA WATSON, Herminone Granger from the Harry Potter movies. It was so funny she was walking right towards us and I was like that is Emma Watson and Dustin didn't believe me and she walked into the baggage claim office. So I told Dustin that is her I know it "Don't question me Dustin it was her" LOL!! So he walked over closer while she was in the office and he was comes back smiling agreeing that it was her!! (little side note Dustin is in love with her, LOL) So I get out my camera ready to take a picture of her so I am pretty much a stalker now waiting for her to turn around so I can take a picture. Then she turns around and I freaking freeze!!!!!! I know I'm an idiot but you could tell she was upset and I didn't want to be that stupid fan. So I waited til my mom and dad got there and maybe they can be brave and take a picture or talk to her. But you can tell she is upset. So we stay back and watch her she walks to the bathroom. And guess who follows Dustin!!!! So I think he is so going to talk to her when she comes out of the bathroom!!! So Dustin comes back and the first thing I ask is "Did u talk to her??" He says no I talked to the bodyguard. He says he asked the bodyguard "Are u with Emma Watson" and the body guard says yes and Dustin's says my wife would love a picture with her do you think that she will do it. He says any other day she would do it but Delta has lost her baggage and she is really upset. So 2nd fail for us!!!!! We suck!!!
But back to picking Lisa and her family up ;) they finally arrived and I got to meet my cute nephew Ryan for the first time!!! Oh I hate that they live so far away!!!
My cute nephew Ryan

So the Walkers were there for the next 10 days!! It was so much fun having all of my family together and specially for Christmas. Before Christmas came the sunday before we had Ryan's blessing oh he was such a handsome boy dressed in white. I'm so sad I don't have any pics of him because I was in charge of Lisa's camera to take pics ;) But he sure was cute!! Then my sister Lisa went through the temple and got her endowments out and again I was in charge of Lisa's camera again it was way to cold to take more pics with mine that night. But I am so happy that she chose to go through the temple!! Next couple of days after that we just hung out and played games and ate way way way to much food!!!! Christmas eve day we made a bunch of cookies for us and santa ;) Oh really think I gained like 10 pounds those days I was at my parents we just had way to much yummy food and could resist!!
Christmas day was awesome!!!! Like I said before it was so nice to have everyone there all together. All I can say is it is good to be a grandchild of my parents LOL!! SPOILED!!! I'm a little jealous cause I was the baby and I was always spoiled but not anymore its good to be a grandkid jk ha ha ha.
The day after christmas we went sledding there wasn't much snow but there was a dirt road that was covered with snow. So my dad would drive us up it in his truck and we would slide down and keep doing it over and over. Lisa and I went together the first time and all I can say is HILARIOUS!!!!! Ok this road was pretty steep and you go pretty fast so we were kind of scared thinking because we are bigger than the kids and would go really fast and we didn't want to crash! So we went and we were going so so so slow down the mountain and all the kids were passing us and we couldn't stop laughing because we were going so slow!!! We even came to a stop BAHAHA!!! Oh it was so funny!!! We rocked!!! So after we came down this old man with a truck full of old wooden sleds asked if we wanted to borrow them cause we only had one sled that worked. So all I can say is these sleds were so freaking scary!!! you would lay down face first and ride it down and you really had no control of them and you are going head first!! But we had so much fun on them we might be a little crazy for riding them but it was so fun!!
That night we had to say goodbye to the Walkers cause they were leaving the next day and Dustin and I had to work :...( Oh I hate that they live so far away!! It really sucks not going to lie!!! Miss them so much.
Here are some pics of when they were here I didn't take that many pics :(

Santa left his magic footprints ;)

Lisa and I sledding ;)

It was so nice to get to spend Christmas all together. That was the best present ever to be all together! I love my family so much both mine and Dustin's it is so nice to be able to spend time together even though I wish we could do it more. Family really is everything!! Can't wait til next time we get to be all together again.

1 Year

Today November 26 marks Dustin and mines 1 year anniversary of going through the Temple and being sealed together!! It was black friday that day but for us it was "white friday" :) It was the most amazing experience in my life!! I am so grateful that Dustin and I had changed our lives for the good and we were able to go through the Temple together.


Whenever I think back to that day a year ago I always think or say that it was the greatest day ever and also the worst day ever. You see the night before we went through the Temple Dustin got a phone call from his grandma saying that they had taken his mom to the hospital that she was unconcious. Well this hadn't been the first time so we thought that she would get the medicine to clear the acid out of her and that she would get better. So Dustin told me and we prayed and we felt that we would still stay up at my parents house and go through the Temple and then see how she was after. So that day after we went through the Temple when we were eating lunch with our friends and our family Dustin got a phone call from his Aunt saying that his mom wasn't doing better and that there was nothing the doctors could do and that she wasn't going to make it and they didn't know how much longer she was going to live. (See how it was the best day ever to the worst day ever) So we had to hurry and leave and go to the hospital to see his mom. I remember that day when we were there at the hospital I was alone with Jan and I was talking to her about me and Dustin going through the Temple that morning and I said how much I loved her son and that I promised that I would take care of him. Even though she was kind of out of it I know that she heard me and was happy for us. Also when Dustin and I were alone with her that day Dustin was talking to her about us going through the Temple and asked her if she wanted us to to her temple work for her she said "yes" So I can't wait to be able to do her work for her.
I can't believe it has been a year since we went through the Temple. I love it so much I love that Dustin and I are sealed and someday when we have a family knowing that our family will be together forever makes me so happy. Even though that day we found out the worst news about Dustin's mom it was such a blessing for us to have the gospel and go through the Temple and to know the plan of salvation that we will be able to see her again someday. I love Dustin so much and I love that we are going to go to the Temple tonight and we are going to start a tradition of going to the Temple on our anniversary each year!! ;)

Thankful

Well its that time of the year and I just wanted to post the things that I'm thankful for I wanted to do the thankful day thing where each day you say what you are thankful for.....but as you see it is the 20th and I didn't do that ha ha ha

What I'm thankful.........

First one that I have to say is the Gospel everything about the Church. Its so so so amazing!!! Words really can't describe how I feel about it. I fell away from the Church awhile ago and I know how if feels to not have the gospel and the Holy Ghost in your life. It is so amazing and I am so grateful for it. I know Dustin and I wouldn't be where we are in our lives if it wasn't for the Gospel. We probably wouldn't even be together. I am so grateful for Jesus Christ and the power of repentance. I could go on an on but most of all I'm so thankful for my loving Heavenly Father who I know for a fact he listens and answers prayers!!!
Thankful for my husband Dustin!! I am so thankful for him he is awesome!! He makes me so HAPPY!! I am so thankful that he changed is life around with me and we are now married and sealed in the Temple. I love that he is a worthy priesthood holder. I love how hard he works in his job to be the provider for our family. I can't wait to start a family with him and am so grateful that our family will be together forever!!
Thankful for my amazing family!!! I am so grateful and lucky for having them in my life!! My parents are amazing they have always been there for me from supporting me in all my sports growing up to being such amazing examples to me on how to live your life and be faithful people. I am so grateful for my amazing and awesome siblings Aubrey, Lisa and Brad!!! They are amazing even though they picked on my so much growing up ha ha I love them and they are such good examples to me!!! Thankful for my extended family too and all that they do for Dustin and I!!
Thankful for my cute nieces and nephews!! ;) Oh I just love them all. Its amazing how much love I have for them and it shows just a glimpse of how much love I will have for my kids!!
Thankful for my friends. My friends are awesome!! I really have some amazing friends in my life that have been there for a long time and some that have been there shortly ;) You know who you are!!!
Thankful for our jobs. I know you may think why is she putting this on here she complains a lot about going to work he he he. But I am really thankful that Dustin and I have jobs and that we can do the things we want to because we have money for them. So many people don't have jobs and for those of us that do we are really lucky. We are so lucky to be able to afford the simple things in life like food, heat, water and etc...
Thankful for the Armed Forces. The service men and women who willing serve this country so we can be free to do the things we want. I just have to say I was thankful for them before but now to have my brother in law Justin in my family who is in the Air Force it makes me so much more grateful and proud to be an American. God bless our Troops!!!
Well those are the people and things that I am truly thankful for. There is so much more I'm thankful for but those are the most important to me!! I love this time of season. It always bugs me that stores and people skip over Thanksgiving because of Christmas. I always wonder don't they have anything they are thankful for?? Well I love Thanksgiving not just because of the yummy food(that is a big part) ha ha ha!! But I love spending time with family and loved ones!! I love the holiday seasons most of all because of being with family. Well I hope everyone has Happy Thanksgiving!!!!

Two Year Anniversary!!

Well on November 7th Dustin and I celebrated our 2 year anniversary!! I really can't believe it has been 2 years already it really seems like yesterday we were getting married.


Well we didn't really do anything on our official anniversary I went to work for a couple of hours and then picked up some yummy food from Golden Dynasty and finished unpacking. Yep Dustin and I are finally out of the grandparents basement!!! It is so nice to be on our own again!!! We really wanted to stay there and pay more stuff off and then move into a house but some stuff has happened the past couple of months and it was just time for us to move. I really was going crazy there!!! Don't get me wrong I am really grateful that the grandparents let us move there it really helped us get back onto our feet again but it was time ;)I love our little apartment its perfect for us for right now!!

But back to our anniversary we decided to go up to Park City and stay at the Waldorf Astoria hotel!!! All I can say is it was amazing!! The hotel is awesome!! Here are a few pics of our trip ;)

Waldorf Astoria Hotel

Some pics of our room



Dinner at Bandits Grill and Bar
Walking in the snow around old Main Street
Leaving :(

Our trip was so much fun and I really didn't want to come back ;) My favorite parts were the awesome hotel I know I might sound stupid but it was so amazing I think Dustin favorite part was the valet parking he thought that was so cool LOL!! Dinner was delicious we were looking at all different places to eat and the prices were a little to pricey for us so we finally found Bandits Grill and Bar and it was soooooo good I got the prime rib and Dustin got the pulled pork plater. I highly recommend going there I even tried to get Dustin to go back for lunch ha ha ;) I loved walking around the Old Main street it was just perfect it was night time and snowing and was so romantic!! But my all time favorite part of the whole trip besides being there with my amazing husband Dustin, was we decided since we got the hotel and trip that we would write letters to each other just saying how much we love each other and stuff. I was kind of hesitant of Dustins I was thinking that it would be a paper with "I love you" in it and signed Dustin but he totally caught me off guard and wrote a whole letter and how he feels about me!!! AWWWW I know!! It was perfect I loved it and it totally knocked my letter out of the park(hes says it didn't)

But I just want to say I really LOVE Dustin he is the perfect husband for me!! I can't believe it has been 2 years!!! It really seems like yesterday we got married its funny because I never thought we would get married we dated for 6 years before ha ha!! But it finally happened YAY!! I really love Dustin so much, I love that he works so hard in his job. I love that I'm still head over heels for him he just makes me so happy!! I LOVE that we are married and that specially we are sealed together!! He makes me so happy words really can't describe how much a truly love him!! He is my best friend. HAPPY ANNIVERSARY babe can't wait to celebrate many many more with you!!

Summer so far....

Well its been awhile since I last posted but probably nobody reads this so ha it doesn't matter;) all I can say is I love summer I can't believe it is already August though Summer is almost over and winter will be here before we know it:..( oh i hate winter. But anywho we have been pretty busy this summer lets see I'll start from when I last left.
After Vegas it was the 4th of July. Can I say I love this time of year fireworks, BBQs and spending time with family. We had the annual Logan fireworks where we spent time with the Sparrows. As long as I can remember we have gone to the fireworks with them at the same spot every year and eat pizza and treats ;) It is fun to catch up and play with the kids. Best part was Dustin was the lucky guy who all the kids wanted to play with ha ha (just preparing him for ours) He likes it ;) But it was a fun night and the fireworks were awesome as usual.
On July 15th I'm sitting and watching tv and get a text from Dustin asking if I wanted to go to Harry Potter.....um YES i just may of got a little teary eyed maybe ha ha!!! So I hurried and got online to buy the tickets because it was opening day. So I met Dustin down there after he got off work and we went to the 3D showing. It was awesome!!! I love Harry Potter so much!! I still can't believe it is all over well it has been over for me for quite awhile because I read the books but the movies were so good!! I think I may re-read the books call me a nerd but I love it so much ;)
Then on July 18th my sister Lisa and my niece Brianna came from Oklahoma for 2 weeks!! I was bad and didn't take that many pictures so sorry. It was SO much fun. Best part is because me and Lisa kind of ganged up on my parents to buy them 2 tickets to come here instead of them buying 2 tickets to go to Oklahoma ha ha we are awesome. We also planned it the last 2 weeks of July while my boss was gone from work so I could take more time off to spend with them. So that day they flew in they went and visited our great aunt Jeanie so I got off work and went up there to her house and we had dinner with her. Can I just say when I got there Brianna came over to me and said that she "missed me" I seriously got teary eyed man I love that girl she really is my little buddy.
I had to work the next 2 days then I went up on Wednesday after I got off work and we went and got sandwiches and went to this awesome park in Logan. I have to say this park was pretty cool it was a castle and a ship combined(where was this kind of park when I was little) Best part of the night is when we got there Brad(brother) said last time we were here these guys came here dressed up in knight gear and were sword fighting...seriously 5 minutes later those same people showed up!!! LOL it was awesome. I think they chose that park because it is a castle and they are the knights in shining armour who protect it ha ha ha It was fun the only bad thing is Brianna loves to swing and swing and swing and swing.....so somebody had to push her LOL ;) The awesome Knights fighting :)

The next day Lisa, Bri and I went to Cafe Rio(delicious!!) and went to Mack Park in Smithfield. It was funny they have 2 parks there so we picked the park that didn't have swings(I know we are mean) But it was in the sun so the slide and stuff were to hot so we had to go to the other park in the shade and guess what it had swings Dang it ha ha But we were lucky and there were older girls there and they pushed ha ha ;) It was so nice to sit and talk and catch up with my sister I really miss her so much and hate that they live so far away. But after that we went and picked my mom up from work and went and got pedicures!! Then we went to Callaways in Smithfield oh I love that place!!! Wilty breadsticks are the best!!!!!!
On Friday we went to the Logan pool and met Hilary and Easton there!! It was so fun Brianna LOVES to swim that really is an understatement she is a fish she could swim all day ever day!! Since Lisa is pregnant I was lucky enough to go down the slide with Brianna(I'm glad because it was pretty fun) It was a little sad because at first Easton didn't want anything to do with the water so Hilary had to stay out but finally towards the end he finally gave in and got in realized how much fun it is ;) Later that night we went over to Brad and Hilary's house and ate dinner and played games and had ourselves our own firework show. All I can say is it is awesome that they legalized the aerials. They are awesome. Thanks mom and dad for buying all the fireworks!!
On Saturday all of us minus Dustin went down to Salt Lake and went to Raging Waters!!! Best part we got really cheap tickets that included tube rental and lunch (thank you Aubrey) I haven't been there since I was probably 6 it has changed a lot. It was so much fun!! The best thing everybody swam so nobody was left out. Once again I was the lucky one that got to go down the slides with Brianna(no complaining from me I was fine with it) Towards the end of the day Easton fell asleep so Brad, Hilary and I got to go down the awesome slides!! We went down this really steep and tall one(I won't lie I was nervous while waiting in line) but I was brave and went down it the first drop was so scary u seriously got air and wasn't touching the slide!!! Then it had another drop where it did the same thing. I think that was the best one scary but fun!! While we were standing in line for the slides all of a sudden this group of I swear 15 people come up and passed everyone in line and went to the front. We were all like what the..who is this?? Come to find out it was a group of MODELS and they were taking pictures of them going down the slides. Seriously on July 24th weekend on a saturday u come and take pics!! The worst part is they would hold all other slides so nobody but the MODELS were in the shot we were ticked and even the other people there were too!! And every slide we went to the MODELS would follow and cut in line in front of us!!! Stupid MODELS!!!! We really wanted to push them in the water or the camera man in cause it pissed us off stupid!!! Besides the MODELS cutting to the front of the lines and making us wait even longer for the slides it was soooooo much fun. It has been so long since my whole family have gone and done something fun like this just wish Dustin could of gone.
So we all slept over at my parents house and went to church. After church we ate a yummy dinner and played games the rest of the day. It is so fun to spend time with all of us. Sometimes we get a little competative ha ha ;) It is so nice to be able to have Lisa and Bri here and get to spend time with them wish Justin could of came but he couldn't get off work.
In between all those big adventures we went out to eat, played games and just hung out. I played a lot with Brianna she is so much fun and such a cute little girl. Sometimes it is hard to believe she is only 3 cause she is so smart. Everyday she would whisper to me and say "I like you Kristy" oh it really tugs at my heart strings I love that little girl so much!!! I really can't wait to have a little Brianna or Easton of my own!! I can't believe how much love I have for them and I know with my own it will be 100 times more. CAN'T WAIT!!! someday and I hope someday soon ;) Here are some pictures of us at a park in Brigham sorry I was bad at taking pics when they were here. Brianna and Easton Look at those camera skills ;) Dustin and Brianna

Friday July 29th I went with my parents to take them to the airport :..( It is so sad that they live so far away I really really hate it!! The only good thing is that the next time we see them will be to see baby boy Walker(they haven't picked a name yet) And if everything works out I will be going to Oklahoma to see him!!! :) Can't wait!! So after saying our good byes (tear) My parents and I went to a movie and guess what it was........HARRY POTTER!!! Yep I went again 3D also!!! Oh I love Harry Potter ;) Harry and I (I'm helping him kill Voldemort)

Last Friday Aug 5 my parents, Dustin and I went to the temple up in Logan. It was so much fun we haven't been for awhile and it was so nice to go. It was so nice to have Dustin there it makes it that much more spiritual ;) Oh I love him so much he truly is my best friend and I'm so glad that we are sealed together and we will be together forever!! Dustin and I at the Logan Temple
It has been a great summer we have had so much fun!!! I hope this summer last long specially because it came so late in the year. If you read that all thanks it was sure a long post ;)
