yay for good BIRTHDAYS

yesterday was my 24th birthday and it was a GREAT day, it's been a little while since i've had such a nice birthday and i'm feeling pretty good right now!
My boss took me out to breakfast at Paradise Bakery, which i LOVE! I also got some sweet giftcards from a few co-workers.
Jared got me Snow White and i already watched it :) He also came to my work with Panda Express :) He drove from ASU all the way to my office and could only stay for 30 miutes because he had to drive all the way back to ASU for more classes....A M A Z I N G, I love my husband, he is the best!!! and he had the most beautiful bouquet of Daisies and Roses sent to my office!
My niece Gracie left me the cutest happy birthday voicemail, and my nephew Aidan called and sang Happy Birthday to me....so cute!!
Lastly I hosted mutual at my house and we played Gospel Feud, I love the young women and my calling and it was a fun way to spend the evening.
After mutual Jared got home from school and that was pretty much it for day, it was PERFECT.
Thanks to everyone for all the birthday wishes!!!

good luck Mom & Dad!!

Last night I said goodbye to my parents, they are currently on the road heading to Alaska where they are moving to!! It was pretty tough saying goodbye, considering they've never lived more than a 30 minute drive from me. But i kept my promise, and I didn't cry!!! I'm sure it was hard enough on my mom as it was and she didn't need me bawling my eyes out in front of her.....I waited to do that until they left and Jared made it home just in time for the water works :)

I was a little sad because of course I will miss seeing them so frequently, but I am SOOO happy for them!!! I am truly so blessed to have such amazing parents who have set such an awesome example for me. My whole life they have made sacrifices for their children, so it really brings me a great amount of joy to see them get to do something that they have wanted to do for so long. I love my parents, they are the best and I wish them good luck in their new adventure and many successful fishing trips to come. Can't wait to visit!!

Dear New Neighbors,

We are so exited to finally have someone to occupy the house next door. We are especially happy that you have little dogs that love to stand by the fence and bark all day.....so cute. We're also very thrilled that you leave your back yard lights on all night, mostly because all that light pours through my bedroom window and now I can see at 3am when i get up to use the bathroom. I also just love that there is almost always someone parked in front of our driveway, even when yours is totally empty, cars looks better on the street anyways. But my favorite thing so far has got be that your beautiful children use my back yard as their trash can. At first I wasn't sure but tonight when i took out the trash i was able to witness the airborne garbage. Welcome to the neighborhood, so glad to have you :)

Things are going really well for us, I feel so grateful for all of the blessings that we have!!!

2nd Anniversary

We hit 2 years on July 7th, 2009!! I was at Girls Camp that day so we just went out the weekend before, nothing special, just went out to dinner. It's weird how fast time flies by, because it feels like just yesterday that we got married.

Seriously I can remember the day very clearly. I spent the night by myself at our condo, and Jared picked me up that morning to go to our sealing. I remember having slept SOOO well, and I felt really happy. I wasn't nervous at ALL! I remember thinking i was weird for not being even a little nervous....we had an amazing sealing and so much fun at our reception! Our honeymoon was a blast and sometimes it still feels like we're on our honeymoon.

Jared is the best husband ever!! He is constantly helping around the house, and he cooks dinner quite frequently! He always makes sure i'm happy and 'not bored'. He has the biggest heart, always trying to help out people where he can. And he gives the best backrubs ever!!! I have loved every second of our marriage and it just gets better everyday!

Girls Camp was July 6-9 and I had a GREAT time!!! We had the most amazing group of girls ever. It was very spiritual and I felt so blessed to be able to be a part of it. Here's a few pictures:
