GO UTES!

This weekend was Halloween. We didn't do anything other than passing out candy. Well the Big event of this weekend was actually the BLACK OUT, this is the Utah Utes game where they wear all black uniforms and the crowd is asked to also wear all black. Last year was the first year they did this, it was also close to Halloween and we played TCU. This year we played Wyoming. Watching this game made me a little sad. It made me remember how much fun it is to have season tickets to the Utes. As much as I HATED the cold games where your toes freeze just walking to the game I realized that I actually miss Utah. I know I know but there definitely are some things about it that are amazing. I miss my friends and family that I had there. If we could just get everyone down here. Yeah right. Well although I miss Utah and can now admit that Arizona is more than amazing. It was considered "jacket weather" this week because it was in the high 40's in the morning. It was great. I love this, I can wear a light sweater and be perfect. It also is supposed to be back in the 90's this week so... not a whole lot else is going on, I am in training for a new position that I LOVE and can't wait to get back on the phones and make some money. On a side note... GO YANKEES!!!

Cars and other stuff...

So about a week and a half ago I was on my way to work, sitting at a RED light and about 4 seconds after it turned green BAM I got rear ended. LAME.... well anyway it took about an hour for the cops to show up and write up the report. I had a killer headache all day. Thankfully I have a great insurance company, it doesn't matter that I didn't know they were great until now (other than how cheap they are) anyway, they got me an appointment at the service shop the next morning with a rental waiting! Oh so my insurance company is Progressive and I am officially recommending them. Not only is my insurance the same price as I paid in high school but the rental car they gave me was an '09 Civic... they always try and match the car that you have so it was great that I didn't have to drive around in some tiny hatch back thingy. Well anyway on to other things, oh nothing else has happened. The weather here is still great, right around 100 everyday still so that is nice. I will update again soon... I am hoping to have some big news this week.

Oh what a wonder!

Last week my AC went out... on Saturday, we had to wait until Thursday to get it fixed. It was a very warm week and it was average of 95 degrees in my house... it was 115 outside. Luckily it rained a couple of nights so we could at least sleep. ANYWAY, needless to say I didn't do much. I barbecued everything so I didn't make the inside of the house any warmer. I didn't do laundry because I was already as bare skinned as possible, taking cold showers and still constantly sweating. Well to get to the point once I got my AC fixed I had a lot to catch up on.

As a preface, I have an amazing husband... I tend to spoil him, A LOT! I have a full time job, I take him to work and pick him up (this does save money but he sleeps on the way to work). I get up at 5:15 to work out so he can workout when he wants to. I do all the grocery shopping and cooking, even on the grill, I love me some good BBQ. I do the laundry, dishes, sweep, mop and dust. I even cut his hair every week (I don't like to pay $13 to shave his head). Oh and I organize his clothes in the closet in 4 categories and color coordinate! Cory has 2 jobs, this was discussed when we got married almost 6 years ago.... well since I spoil the heck out of him I tend to do those jobs also. Taking out the garbage and vacuuming. I don't know why but I HATE vacuuming!! I can't wait to tile my whole house and sweep away. I got out of the shower this morning and what did I hear? The vacuum? WHAT????? NO WAY! I didn't even ask. Cory helped me get caught up, SO wonderful! Well to reward him I made Aussie fries and Wings, he loves him some hot wings. Now we are sitting here and watching BYU play Oklahoma and I realize how lucky I am to have a husband who is proud to have such a freak fan about football with him. I might spoil him but I know that he would do anything for me ( I might have to pout a bit but still) He is wonderful and my life is great. I might not have everything I want but I enjoy my life and know I am supported and loved more than anything.

This is the first and last time I will say this! GO BYU! NFL starts next week, dang those false idols!! Good thing my phone has Internet so I can check Sunday scores anywhere. ;) I know this post was all over but I don't really care... HAHA

For Reals?

Ok update, we went to Denver for my Birthday, Thank you wonderful Husband. This is what happened.

Saw the fam for my Birthday, YEA!

Played Battle of the Sexes, girls won but totally shouldn't have.

Took fuzzy Pictures.

AWWWWWW...... everyone told me what a good dad my husband will be.

Bridget got eaten by Jaws.

Then got spit out in a bubble.

Lucas wanted to eat.

Scarlet just helped herself to a snack.

Bridget climbed on things (She also fell a lot)

Then we went to the zoo and saw the animal. I was so glad I got to see the bears, Black, Grizzly and event he Polar bears were swimming (My Favorite). Both Lucas and Bridget ran and fell a lot but they were not to big of criers. They begged Uncle Cory to take them on the train but then decided to go on the carousel instead.

We saw a statue of Klondike and Snow, I remember when they were born HUGE deal. Funny thing is when I was in Orlando last October they announced that their Polar Bears were Klondike and Snow from the Denver Zoo. Can't freaking escape the small world stuff... oh well. The statue was hot but the kids kept trying to climb on then got burned.

That concludes my trip to Denver, I got to see my family a lot we had a picnic the night before we left but I left my camera in the car so i didn't get any Pictures, Val of course did so check out her blog if you want to see.

HEAT!

So we have been here for a while now but we just got into our new home! We will have pictures of the house set up soon, we just have a few finishing touches. But in the mean time here are some random Phoenix pictures. They aren't the best quality but at least I posted! The heat has been actually wonderful. it was over 100 for a full week but Cory and I couldn't tell, it felt like a good 90 degree day. We love it here and can't wait for our visitors to start coming.

Lots of things, lots of pictures, long blog.

I am finally getting around to posting what we did with Cory's parents when they were in town. They came down to celebrate their 30th wedding anniversary, Congratulations to them. Shanna Cory's younger sister came down with them kind of last minute but we got to hang out with them a little bit, here is what we did. They are really out of order, I am still not that good at that aspect of the blog. Oh I bought a new camera, it was a killer deal and I am pretty sure mine was lost in the move :(

On Friday we got to go to the Easter Pageant at the Mesa Temple, it was really good, except the dancing, I just don't understand why there was dancing, but it was good. Here is Cory pondering before the Pageant started.

Here is a picture of the actual Temple. It is the same design as Hawaii, beautiful just like most other's.

It was SO windy that day, we were FREEZING, but we didn't have any sweatshirts I was lucky i wore pants or I would have been flipping out. I underestimated Arizona on a windy day in March.

This is the stage that the Pageant was performed on. There were 2500 people there, it has that many people for 9 days!

We grabbed Pizza on the way down since we had to be there 2 hours early to get seats.

On Wednesday we went to Dave and Busters and played games. It was SO much fun, Thanks again Brian and Bonnie!

Here is Cory Racing his Dad on jet skis.

Here is Cory and his Dad playing Madden. Surprise, surprise, Cory wanted to play a game he always beats everyone at.

Here is another jet ski race.

Shanna and Brian racing the jet ski's, Shanna cracks me up, she was mad I kept taking pictures.

Cory on the skateboarding game. he of course did well.

Tuesday Brian and Bonnie got us all tickets to the D-Backs game, we sat in the all you can eat section, it was such a good time except we lost to the Rockies. Thanks again Brian and Bonnie.

This is Cory and I, I think it is the only Picture I am in the whole week.

Here are the players, doing their thing.

This is the three visitors having a great time. It was snowing in SLC when they left so the 75 degree game was perfect, they had the AC on in the seats.

Here is a picture of the fields sign.

Another picture of the fam.

It was such a fun week Cory and I had a great time, we were exhausted at work everyday but it was worth it. We cannot wait to get into our house and having lots more visits from Family. My family was supposed to come down for the Pageant but didn't make it, maybe next year. We hope we get to see some more family this year.

The Big REVEAL!!!

So Cory's Parents were in town this week and we did some really fun stuff but before I post about that I wanted to show some people this. I have been debating for a while on if I should cut my hair. After finding a hairball in my jeans one day I had enough of my hair being so long and getting EVERYWHERE. So..... Here is what I had when I left this morning.


And this is what I came home with...

It went a little shorter than I expected but it could also just be the shock of it, I haven't cut more than an inch off my hair in about 3 years and it was shorter than this then. AAAHHHHH... it is so weird to not have it resting on my back and how short my ponytail it. CRAZY.... Oh and as for why I am wearing long sleeves, it rained today, A LOT!!!
