Dance Day.

Yesterday was such a fun day. I spent most of the day with the Hunsaker girls and Schaefer girls. I was lucky and got to go watch the So You Think You Can Dance auditions in Salt Lake with some of the Hunsaker girls and then that night go with my mom and sister to the Cougarette concert. It was a very fun day. It was fun to see how exactly the process of the show and auditions went and also fun to see the judges and Kat Deely in person. It was particularly fun to see Kat, because we got to see her pretty close up. She was walking around and walked right behind where we were sitting several times. She isn't as tall as she looks on tv, but every bit as pretty. My sister-in-law Sara and her sister, Erin, almost ran into her at one point and got a "hi" from her.

The Cougarette concert was fun too. I've gone the last 4 years or so and always enjoy it. Last year I even took Tyler and he enjoyed it (even though he won't admit it now). Natalie and my mom have never been so they came with me this year. It was lots of fun. I love going to dance performances...I always leave feeling really pumped about dance and it makes me miss it lots.

A YEAR OF CHANGE?

Remember when I mentioned that I felt like this year was going to be a year of change? Well, turns out I was right! I just didn't know how soon that change would come. This week I was surprised with not so great of news...I got laid off at work! So looks like change is sure coming for me! I have several places that seem to be potentially good jobs that I am going to apply for, but if anyone knows of anywhere that is hiring please let me know! I'm open to part or full time work and have lots of experience working in real estate offices and customer service!

23.

 I had a really great birthday this year. I spent the entire day with my mom. We did lots of shopping and went to lunch. Then, once Tyler and my dad were off work we went to dinner at Outback.

Did I mention I got spoiled?

Yes. I do like Pink just a little bit.

Valentines Day!

Tyler and I had a great Valentines Day this year. I had work and Tyler had school, but by 3:00 we were both home and ready to celebrate. And like any smart man, he didn't forget to bring flowers!

 Being the good wife I am...I remembered the cake bites!

We went to Goodwood for a late lunch/dinner and the place was practically empty. I think we might have to try to do it every year! It was so nice to not have to wait. 

After that we went and did a little shopping to decide what Duvet we wanted for our bed. Of course, we didn't buy it because heaven forbid we buy anything at an actual store when you can get it online. I have been dying to just have it and we have a gift card $120, plus a 20% off coupon for Bed Bath and Beyond, but Tyler is still convinced we can get it for cheaper online. Crazy husband. We also went and browsed around at RC Willey's just for fun, we weren't in the market to buy anything but got chased down by every salesman there. There was an old lady who was very aggressive and really trying hard to sell us a fridge, as if we actually needed one. We went home for a bit to kill some time and then we went to the movies and saw This Means War. It was sooo funny and we both loved it, although there were lots of annoying people sitting around us and drove us crazy...Tyler swore he's never going to go to the movies again, but we'll see about that. We topped the night off with a little bit of One Tree Hill and called it a success.

I LOVE MY VALENTINE AND WAS SO HAPPY TO SPEND MY AFTERNOON AND EVENING WITH HIM!!!

Today.

This is me and my Grandma Schaefer just a few months after I was born. I found this beauty a few weeks ago while I was sorting through pictures of my dad for his 50th post and ever since I've wanted to share.

Happy Birthday to me!

Bad Blogger.

I haven't been a very good blogger lately at all. Life has been busy. Great, but busy. Here are some of the most recent happenings...

Schooling it...as always. This semester hasn't been ideal, because Tyler and I basically go to school on opposite days. Thankfully I haven't been working full time, so I still am lucky and get to see a little more of him. It does keep our lives pretty busy though! Tyler changed his major and he is officially a communications major. It's exciting to have a little glimpse of what we're working so hard for.

I went to State Drill Team with my sister-in-law Sara and my little sis. It's always fun to see whats new each year and who is the best. This year did certainly not disappoint. There were definitely some awesome dances and amazing teams!

It has been a month of Baby Showers galour! The last two Saturday's I've had attended baby shower's for my sister-in-law, Misty, who is due in March. I promised myself last Saturday that I would take a few pictures so I could at least have something to put on the blog but I forgot my camera and left my phone in my car. This Saturday I have 2 more baby showers for 2 other baby makers, so needless to say my Saturday's have been fun but busy.

My best friend, Jaynee flew in on Friday from Texas, so I spent Saturday night with her, Rachel, and Hope! Our lives are all so different now so it is seriously the best when we are all able to get together! We went to dinner at Los Hermanos and then spent the rest of the evening just talking.

Tyler has been luckily staying safe. They had an incident recently at work (see KSL story here), but thankfully him and all his crew were fine. There were a few injured but all of them are going to be okay. It really scared me and could have been a lot worse.

I tried ZUMBA for the first time and really liked it. I have been meaning to try it for it a while now and just never have. At first I wasn't so sure about it but it definitely got better as it went along and it was a great work out so looks like its going to be part of my weekly routine. It really made me miss dance though...you forget how much you love it when you aren't doing it. I'm thinking of starting Ballet Blast, because I hear it is awesome...feedback anyone???

It is VALENTINES tomorrow! I'm really excited...although I'm fairly certain Tyler is not. I think it stresses him out, but it shouldn't! I don't think Valentines needs to be extravagent. It is just a simple day, but such a great one to celebrate! We have a fun little date planned and I can't wait. I loook forward to this day all year! It is the best.

Happy Heart Day Everyone!

I LOVE THIS MONTH!!!

Ever since I can remember, February has been my very favorite month with good reason. I love Valentines Day and always have! Its never even be about having a so called "valentine," even as a little girl I loved everything about the day! Valentines at school, creating an awesome "mailbox" for all my valentines and candy hearts...something about it is just so fun and so happy, but still just an ordinary day. And did I mention that I love PINK and red too and together they pretty much make a super-color?!I can't even describe how excited I get for Valentines...the husband will atest that I bring up Valentines Day constantly through out the year...and even better than Valentines Day is the day after! My birthday!!! So much to look forward to!

Happy February everyone!

xoxo
