First Big Snow

I was really looking forward to this weekend! Work was very stressful and I was ready to sleep in and do what ever I wanted! Ryan went to work Saturday morning then called me at 6:40 to see if I wanted to go skiing apparently it had snowed quite a bit! but I didn't have snow pants so we opted not to. I went back to sleep for awhile (it was so nice). When I got up and looked outside it really had snowed a ton during the night and it continued to snow that morning.
These pictures of the snow really do not do justice to how much snow was really out there. Trying to scrape off the car was just joyful. haha and reminded me why I don't really love the snow. It is very pretty when it covers all the trees...but not on your car! I had to clear the car off as quickly as I could because I got a call from Ryan about 11:30 and he told me he was on his way to the hospital because he broke his thumb! I really don't like these kind of things and I know even though it was just his thumb and not life threatening I don't need to freak out! I did well though I just want to know everything is ok. So I made my first trip in the snow in my manual up to the avenues to the LDS hospital ER. Ok Ryan wasn't our or anything when I got there we just had to wait for them to take X-rays and tell us we could go home. Ryan's thumb as you can see just looks cut but when the doctor finally brought the X-rays in you could definately tell it wa broker he called it a "janitor break" because a janitor walking by could see it! And so we have to go to an orthopedic surgeon on monday and he will probably have to have surgery! Luckily workers comp is paying for this!
That was our fun Saturday! We took it easy the rest of the day and saw Dan in Real Life, it was pretty good. Russ and Erica came up and brought us some movies and icecream we sure appreciate that! They are great! Thanks guys! I guess we will let you know what happens.

Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving was a busy week. Sunday night Ryan and I made our own Thanksgiving dinner. Neither Ryan nor I have ever cooked a turkey so we thought we would try and it turned out pretty well! Wednesday Ryan's brother and his Wife Greg and Michelle came down from Rexburg and so we had Russ and Erica up for dinner too, there were a lot of people in our little apt. Thrusday of course was Thanksgiving and we went down to my grandparents house. I made lion house rolls at enrichment on tuesday so we brought roll and I made some pumpkin rolls as well. They were a hit! I was glad because I don't bake all that often. The meal was delicious and we spent the rest of the afternoon talking with family and watching football. Friday I guess we did a little shopping but I did not get up early and I didn't find anything I really wanted to buy. That night we saw Silverchair downtown it was fun! Besides all our extra activities Ryan and I both worked! So it was a busy week but very fun! We are so blessed to have such wonderful families and friends we love!

Pictures

I thought since I am still here that I would write a little bit about my pictures since I don't know exactly how to get them on the blog seperately. The pictures on Temple square are of the night we got engaged. Ryan came and picked me up from work, it was my last day!, then we went to go see the lights on Temple Square these were all things I wanted to do) after we walked around and froze we had dinner at the Macaroni Grill. Then we went back down to American Fork, Ryan was staying with my grandparents before we got married so we went there I told him I wanted to wrap some presents. Everything worked out perfectly for Ryan he really didn't have to plan everything we went to all the places you might imagine you would get engaged but didn't. At my grandma's I don't even remember if we wrapped presents or not. We were unofficially engaged before I actually got the ring so we already knew we were getting married. Anyway so we sat and talked then since it was the end of the night (we really didn't pray at the end of everydate) but Ryan said we should have a prayer so I agreed and we knelt down and I said the prayer after he helped me up and stayed on his knees and asked me to marry him! I didn't know whether to laugh or cry I remember having the thought for a second then I decided to laugh! I couldn't stop! It was the perfect proposal!
The beach pictures are from Aruba we went there in July for my birthday!! It was amazing! I would recommend it to everyone! Really my birthday was just a good excuse to take time off from work and take a vacation and since Ryan works for skywest that makes going places really fun! It was a crazy trip down. We were going to leave on the midnight flight so we didn't have to get a hotel we were just going to sleep in the Atlanta airport but looking at flight it looked really full so we decided to hop on a more open flight that left at 7:00 pm and I was working until 6:00 and we are supposed to be at the airport an hour early to check in for standby. So we rushed to the airport and made it. We flew first class to memphis Tennessee! got there about 11:00pm it was a crumby airport not one we felt comfortable sleeping in so we got a "cheap" hotel for a couple of hours because we had to be at the airport by 5:00am! Then we flew to Atlanta and on to Aruba! The weather was beautiful and so was the water it was just as clear and blue as the pictures I was amazed. And the water was not freezing so it was even nice to swim in. We stayed at a little hotel and pretty much had the beach to our selves! Ryan got me a wedding band for my birthday it was just what I wanted. Maybe it would have been a more appropriate anniversary gift but it works for me!
Well since I have written a lot lately maybe I will do more pictures later. This is getting pretty long!

Slide Show

Ok I have to say I am very proud of myself! But is was easier to make a slide show than it is to put pictures on. Obviously I still haven't figured that one out yet! I did try for awhile yesterday. And I managed to get links on that took some time too I ended up with like 10 of everyone's link! But I feel successful now! I am once again at the library with Ryan he is studying for his Organic Chemistry test!

Check out my Slide Show!

Tag! I'm it...

So, I guess I have been tagged... Now I get to play a blog game! (Thanks Kelltie!!) I hope I can come up with some things that people didn't know about me!

Here are the rules: Each player lists 6 habits/facts about themselves. Once you finish posting, you have to tag 6 other people and list them at the end of the post. (the only problem is I don't know 6 other people that have blogs on here!)

1. Habits:
like everone else I have a specific order I follow when I do things as well. In the morning when I am getting ready (if I am not running really late!) I go to the bathroom first (and I always have to go before I go to bed, wierd habit!) then I shower and I try to wait as long as I can before I blow dry my hair because I hate doing it so I get dressed and eat breakfast, then I do my makeup and last my hair. I also have a specific order I eat certain things: like reeces I eat all the chocolate off then the peanut butter inside; Lucky Charms I eat the cereal and one marshmallow with every bit then at the end I have lots of marshmallows to eat, alson peeps I eat the little candy face parts off then the ears and head and then the body...I know there are other things I eat wierd but I can't think of any right now. I don't take the first item off the shelf in the grocery store I have to take the one behind it and if it is a soft thing I have to squeeze it! That is all I can think of.

2. Hobbies:
I love to read, I go to the library with Ryan when he does his homework and I read. I love cuddling with Ryan and watching movies, or just cuddling with him anytime. I have to admit I really don't like just being on the computer that is probably why this blog is so hard for me! Our internet at home is really slow so I mostly blog (haha I really don't think I can say I blog! But I look at everyone elses) at the library.

3. Favorite Things:
Ryan
My family
Coming home from work
reading a good book
being warm!
Summer
Traveling
Getting my hair done (then I don't have to do it!!)
Pedicures ( I don't get them as often as I would like)
holidays
treats!
Candy
anything sweet
not cooking dinner...
which means eating out!

4. Favorite Place:
My favorite place? hum...I love being home. Having my family around, it is so comfortable. To be able to do whatever I want, when I want. Of places we've been I would have to say Aruba! It was amazing! Perfect temperature-really it wasn't too humid or anything and the water was so clear and blue I didn't even mind swimming! We just laid on the beach it was wonderful I would definately go there again.

5. Websites I Frequently Visit:
like I said earlier I really don't enjoy surfing the internet I get sooo bored! If I can't find what I want quick I am done. so where do I go?

www.gmail.com but I really don't get very much email so I don't check it that often I have been checking it more now that I
www.facebook.com
www.usbank.com to check my bank account! See how boring I am!
www.byui.edu I still check that email even though it is pretty much where I have all my junk sent
www.delta.com or somthing like that so we can look up flights. But we haven't gone anywhere in awhile
www.3bgs.blogspot.com because I really don't know anyone else's address and it links me up to everyones.

6. My Guilty Pleasures:

I take all Ryan's change so I can go to the gas station next door to my work to get treats! Then I don't feel like I am really spending money! But I do try to be good. Turning the heat up when Ryan isn't home!! Taking hot showers. Checking my email at work when no one is there! Wearing flip-flops to work when the dr. isn't working! Reading People when no one is looking. All my guilty pleasures are at work! ok, most of them at least that I am telling you! ;)

Oh hey, I am done telling you how boring I am!!! I hope you all enjoyed that but you don't have to tell me if you didn't! I am sure you will be excited about my next blog since I am getting so advanced! Actually I do have a pretty good story to tell, but I will wait for next time since this is like forever long. And I dont have any cute baby pictures to break up my monotomous babbling! Don't get too excited there won't be any anytime soon, unless they are of someone else's child! haha!

too much

ok so apparently this might be too much for me to handle right now, I don't know how to put picture on this page so I think I need to take some time off and figure it out later!

New things

I thought since all my friends had a blog I better keep up and get one too! so here goes!
