Meet our new editions...

Well, John and I have been thinking for a while now about getting a pet. I love dogs and John likes just about anything. So, we looked a lot on craigs list and ksl. There were a few good ones but nothing seemed right. We then started looking for cats.. now, I'm not a huge fan of cats. They're cute and some are playful but I'm totally a dog lover. Well, through a friend, we found some cats. We went over today to see them and well, now they are ours. AH! I can't believe we just got not only 1 cat but 2! They are brothers and we just couldn't separate them. The lady who gave them to us was so happy we were taking them both. And she was glad we didn't have little boys who might blow them up for Halloween... anyway, here they are!

Birthday Surprises

Ok, so you all know I had a great birthday and I was completely fine with it. Well, little did I know it was far from over. Last night I had a surprise birthday party all planned by my amazing husband. Here's how it went down. Before I went to work, John told me he had a friend from out of town visiting and that they were gonna hang out and go to dinner when we were both off work. John was working til 7:30 and I was working til 8. Well at 7 he calls saying he got off a little early and that they were going to go to NickelCade first because his friend's 2 year old wanted to play games before dinner. I probably only thought for a second that, oh he's got a wife and kid? Well, I got out of work a little late and arrived at nickelcade about 8:30. I spot John right away and he seems eager to see me and have me meet his friend. I got in and we start walking to the back of the arcade and John grabs my hand and starts booking it. I was so caught off guard and in no control that I feared falling flat on my face or bashing into one of the kiddie rides. By the time we stop running I practically yell at John, WHY DID YOU DO THAT??? Then he spins me around and everyone yells, SURPRISE! I went from total anger to total shock and didn't know how to react so the tears started coming. I wasn't sad or anything, I was shocked! Of coarse people were laughing and it was all a lot of fun. We had about 15 people show up. Some stayed and played games, others came and went. Ah, my husband did good. I'm a pretty easy person to surprise though. I never suspect a thing and I'll believe any lie you tell me. John had no friend from out of town and he didn't work that day at all. He really was so cute to put this all together. I love him so much! Anyway, kinda a long story but here's a funny video. Just remember, I was having so many emotions going off that I'm a little scatter brained. Also, wiping away many happy tears.

Birthday Girl

So yesterday was my 25th birthday. WOO! It was actually a great day! I decided to work because my husband, John had to work too. We planned to celebrate on Thursday, today, our day off! So far we are being lazy and its fabulous! Back to yesterday, I got to work and the girls had decorated my station with balloons and also left me sugar cookies (they now me so well). It was a nice surprise and almost all my clients were nice to me (tipped good!) and almost all of them had a friend who's birthday was also my birthday. Weird! Well one teenage boy that I cut asked me what I would be doing later and I told him I was planning on bowling and a movie with my sister. I told him how I have only ever gotten one turkey (which is 3 strikes in a row for anyone who doesn't know that) ever in bowling and I was hoping to get another that night. He told me I would get another one that night. He was sure of it! Well after work John and I went and got lunch at Kneaders. It was delicious. After that he went to work and I went bowling with some friends...and believe it or not, I did score a turkey! That kid was right! Here is the proof:

although I couldn't seem to manage a non-blurry photo... oh well. Anyway, after bowling my sister and her husband took me out to dinner at Red Robin. Now, I've eaten there ever since I've known John and one night they had a delicious fettucine alfredo on the menu. Every time since that one time like 2 years ago I haven't seen it on the menu. BUT it happened to be there last night, on my birthday! I was a lucky girl!!

After dinner we went and saw, The Proposal. Everyone at work told me it was hilarious, and I suppose it was. It was a good day and I'm very glad I had so much luck! I hear 25 is a good age so bring it on!

hot new car

Bought a new car today! It's a 2008 chevy cobalt and its rad! For those of you who know me, you'll know I'm most excited about having air conditioning! Although I think this car has way more awesome features than just blowing cold air...

Baby Sebastian

My brother, Brett blessed his baby son yesterday and I flew out for it! Just a quick trip to LA. It was fun to get away and meet my new nephew! Here's me and him,

time to get in shape

Back in December John and I decided to get each other gym passes for Christmas. I don't know why marriage makes you gain weight but it does. Well we never got any. We weren't really impressed with any gym around. John just likes to run and I just like elliptical machines. So, after months of waited anticipation we got a great machine at an even better price! Here's what it looks like, (folded up too)




We've had it about 2 weeks and I've been using it a lot! I love it!
