Ryan's 25!!

Yesterday was Ryan's 25th birthday!! We both had school and work off for the whole day, which was really nice! We started off our day by sleeping in, and then I made Ryan an omelet for breakfast... we didn't have enough eggs for me to have one so I let Ryan have it on his birthday! I'm such a nice wife ha. Ryan opened his presents soon after and got lots of nice clothes, a game from my mom, money, and a soccer game for his xbox! Then we went to workout together which is always fun!


Here he is with some of his new clothes and his new favorite xbox game!
Later that night we went with our friends out to eat at tepanyaki's!! It was so fun, and soooo good! We were the only ones in the whole restaurant by the time we got our food! The chef guy throws shrimp at you to catch in your mouth and we all caught it, it took me two tries though! Thanks again Aaron and Kayti!
I made Ryan a really good triple chocolate bundt cake for his birthday! (Wow, this picture makes it look like i'm 6 months pregnant... and I don't know why. But I don't think i'll be eating much of this chocolate cake!)


Then Ryan blew out his candles and made a wish... I think he wished for us to both get jobs, Because we both got jobs today! Ryan got a job with a place called premier mentoring and he will be doing sales for them. And, I got a job with Ryan's cousin working at an academy for girls that are having emotional type problems. Ryan's cousin is the therapist there! We're both hoping that these jobs are good ones, but are just glad to have them!

Anyways, I'm so grateful for Ryan in my life... and am really glad that 25 years ago he came into this world. He is my other half and don't know what I would do with out him.

I Love you. Happy 25th Birthday!

All Settled in...

After a full day of moving and another 2 days of unpacking we are finally all moved into our new love shack. We really like our new place a lot, now. When we first got here it was about 6 at night (so dark out). When we got into our apartment the front room & our bedroom didn't have any lights. Later we figured out that if you plug a lamp in then the light switch works with that. So there's nothing more to complain about. The location of our apartment is great! We live right behind Ikea and I mean right behind, we have been there everyday besides Sunday since we moved in! Ryan got his transfer with the olive garden all worked out today and he starts tomorrow, and I started school today!

Here is our living room, it's a little tight with our big couches but it works good for us.
The kitchen is really nice, it's probably my favorite part of our apartment.
Dining RoomAnd we have a built in desk which is really nice.

The bathroom is really nice we finally have a jacuzzi sized tub and really high ceilings. I guess you'll have to come visit us if you want to see the rest. We're so happy to be living down here in Draper, it's such a nice area and has everything that we need. Including Zupas, Fazoli's, In-N-Out burger I could go on and on. I love this place!!!

Bye Bye Logan...

Tomorrow is the big move! Today is going to be a stressful day, trying to finish up a never ending cleaning list from our landlord and getting everything else done that we need too. On top of that we both still have to work today!
We have really loved Logan, it will always be a special place for us because it's where we met and started living our lives together. But, I know that this move will be a good thing for us. Ryan got an internship with Real Salt Lake, the sales position that he wanted got filled with an intern so were hoping that this will turn into a good job. (he will continue to work at the olive garden). I will be going to school, and I will probably be getting a job at Texas Roadhouse just until I can get my Dental Assisting job. I'm hoping that I will get that job in February, I'm keeping my fingers crossed!

We're sure sad to be leaving our favorite little boy... I just had to add this picture in somehow because I thought it was so cute! Someday he'll be a good dad.

This Christmas Season...

We bought a Christmas tree and decorated it! Last year we couldn't have a Christmas tree because our little basement apartment ceilings were a little low. We didn't buy a big tree because there wasn't really enough room in our front room, so we thought this one would do for this year!
We had a Christmas party at our house with some of our neighbors and friends. I sent out 10 invitations thinking maybe half of the couples would come since it was so close to Christmas and everyone in Utah usually goes home to their parents house right when school gets out. But, Luckily all of the couples but 2 showed up and we had a packed house! Our Christmas party turned out to be a lot of fun!
We of course wore ugly sweaters.... Us with our friends Jake and Courtney.
We had a white elephant gift exchange...
and our neighbor Justin opened the best present of all...

After all of this we played this Christmas family feud game that I had put together. It was a really fun game, everyone seemed to enjoy it.

Ryan got to try out his new golf clubs! Here is Logan they have this new indoor virtual golf course (Since it snows pretty much all year round here). Ryan LOVED it, it was pretty cool. You got to pick from 20 different golf courses around the world, they played pebble beach in California. What you do is just hit your ball like you would normally do and then when the ball hits the screen it, the ball keeps going.
Ryan went with his friend from work, Rob. Who is a pro golfer, he plays in different cups and wins money, he is way good!! He also offered to give Ryan a golf lesson because he is starting to teach lessons and wants to practice on someone.

Last but not least.... I TURNED 21!!!
Ryan was the best husband ever to me on my 21st birthday! He is really good at surprising me, every year I never know what he is getting me. I asked for this shirt and he made it sound like I for sure wasn't going to get it because the website was never working. I also asked for another shirt, but it was sold out when he went on. Then a few days later I got on to see what they had and the shirt was back on the website but they only had one left and it was in my size! And then, in the next 5 minutes it was gone, I was really sad. But Ryan came through again and he was the one to buy the last one :) He also got me mario brothers wii... I've loved it so far!! Even though I get really frustrated when I keep dying, it's so much fun I always want to be playing.Ryan took me out to eat at my favorite restaurant, Takara Sushi! We got a really good deal, we got 3 sushi rolls and edamame all for $29.99 it was called the Aggie combo! It saved us a little more than $10. The red scarf I'm wearing was a gift from Ryan's family, Susan made it! And I'm wearing the boots that my parents got me for my birthday! My mom got a good deal on those too they were originally $60 and we got them for $25 plus shipping! I love getting good deals!! Then Ryan took me to get Spoon me!!! Since it was my birthday I got it for free! They also gave me a sticker that said "it's my birthday, spoon me!"

We also made some cupcakes and played mario bro. wii that night!

Thanks love for my wonderful 21st birthday!

Texan christmas...

Since we're going to Colorado this year for Christmas and we weren't able to go back home to Texas for Thanksgiving. We got to go to Texas for a few days in the warm weather at the beginning of December. The main reason that we went down there was to see my Grandma for her birthday on the 12th. I don't know who all knows but my Grandma over the summer was diagnosed with stomach cancer. She has been enduring chemo now for a while, but, before we came to Texas my grandma had a check up with her doctor to see if the chemo has been working. Luckily the chemo has been working and the cancer hasn't spread :) So, the doctor gave her a 2 month "holiday" (meaning she doesn't have to have chemo in those two months)! I love my Grandma Scott and I am so grateful for her in my life. She is a very strong lady and even though she is in so much pain she is the happiest person to be around!

My mom got us HUGE stocking this year for Christmas. Stockings are by far my favorite part of Christmas. Even though we opened all of our gifts late afternoon I had to be in my pajamas, it just wouldn't fell like Christmas if I wasn't wearing pjs!

While we were down there we went downtown to the River walk to look at all of the Christmas lights. Man how I love Texas and miss that hot weather, I'm a proud Texan, like most Texan's are. Here we are celebrating my Grandma's birthday! My Grandma had no idea that either Ryan and I or my brother and his wife were coming to Texas. So, when we got to Texas we walked in the back door while she was sitting on the couch... She was so surprised, and very happy to have her grand kids there on her birthday. I kinda ruined this picture ha.

Ryan and I gave my grandma a trust in the lord cross stitch that I made for her.

We enjoyed getting in the hot tub and then hopping out to make some smores, not something we would be doing in Utah right now... I hardly ever want to leave my house in this Logan weather!

All in all it was a great Christmas. Now on to Colorado for our second Christmas.. this will be my very first Snowy Christmas!!

Once again...

We're moving! It's kind of a bitter sweet thing. We are so sad to be leaving our friends here in Logan, but kinda excited to be starting new things in our lives. We are moving to Draper, UT the beginning of January. We found these really cute apartments for a good price. The thing that sold me is, the FIREPLACE in the apartment, and a HOT TUB! The reason why we're moving is, Ryan is now graduated and is hoping to get a job with REAL salt lake ( a soccer team here in Utah) If he doesn't get that job we have some other things lined up, but I really think he will get it. Also, I have been talking with my friend Aubrey and she works in a Dental office down in Sandy. She said she can get me a job there part time for the first two months and then probably full time starting in march if i can handle that and school!! I would be a Dental Assistant there. I still haven't found out any news about the Dental Hygiene school that I interviewed at in Orem but probably will in the next 2 weeks! So, we're keeping our fingers crossed, lots of good changes are about to happen.We will be enjoying this hot tub a lot!!!
