I did put once, and I did make it! We had a nice steak dinner. Ryan got a pair of ski pants
A black diamond jacket, Pearl Jam tickets and a Nikon D90 (also for his photography class)! I think he did good.
Happy Birthday Ryan, I love you so much!

Ryan's 27th Birthday
Ryan turned 27 on September 1st. We had a nice day. After work...we went golfing. I really just read my book and cheered Ryan on. I don't mind golfing like that! The course was pretty, I got to be with Ryan, and the weather was nice. Great day.

Update
So we haven't been too exciting lately. Summer is over. Ryan started his senior year on monday!!! 2 more semesters! I am SO excited!! Two weekends ago we went to Ephrata to visit his family. It was really nice to get away. We were going to fly into Seattle because there is a flight from Seattle to Moses Lake which is like 20 mins from Ephrata, but the flights didn't look great and we had to check Ryan's golf clubs so we decided to fly into Pasco and drive 2 hours each way, because the flights looked more open. All this so we would make sure we got the golf clubs. We got in and Ryan got the rental car and I went and got the bags, or bag. Our clothes made it (fortunately!) but...the golf clubs did not. Oh well, we still went golfing and it was fun. Ryan's mom cooked delicious food, lots of fresh fruits and veggies from the garden! It was yummy. Last weekend I took my 2 younger brothers to seven peaks, it was supposed to be 100 degrees and basically the last weekend before school starts. We had fun. I think the boys had more fun playing on the triple tube on the grass though!
Ryan has been playing softball with a group of guys from SkyWest over the summer and their league officially starts tomorrow. But they had a couple scrimmage games and they actually did pretty good, considering a few on the team played outfield with a mitt on one hand and a beer in the other?? There is always a big cooler full of beer. I wonder if they would play better without it? Ryan is a good player though, and I might be a little bias, but anyone who watched would admit it as well. He can hit well, run fast, throw, and he is the best pitcher they have. I only had my phone with me for this scrimmage game so the pic's suck, but I will take some better ones later.
Here he is at bat. He even got an in-field home run!! I am so proud of him. It is fun to go to the games!
Tomorrow my little sister starts college and UVU!! I can't believe she is done with high school and moving up. I am so proud of her and very excited for her! I have a great sister I love her so much!
Ryan will turn 27 on Tuesday!! Guess I better figure something out something great to do for my wonderful husband. Well thats about it for now.

Wicked Birthday
So I turned 25 last monday! Not sure how I feel about admitting that yet, but I'm working on it. I had a wonderful birthday though. That weekend we flew to San Francisco and saw WICKED!!! I loved it! I think Ryan even liked it although he may not readily admit it. I would go see it again and recommend it to anyone! San Fran was a little cold however but still fun. My family came up Monday night for a BBQ and that was nice. I love having a birthday in the summer there are no cold restrictions!
The next part of our eventful week goes something like this...
Tuesday Ryan called me at work and told me to meet him when I was done so I could see the 4 runner he was test driving. So I met him and we drove back to the dealer, it was a nice 4 runner, older but in great condition. We talked to the dealer about price and what not and decided we just didn't want to do it right now. However the next evening I had a message on my phone from the dealer, he was dropping the price down...well this got Ryan really excited. The next day he went to the bank, got a loan, picked me up from work and we bought the 4 runner! A little less spontaneous than our STI purchase, at least we slept for 2 nights! So now we own a black 4 runner.
This isn't the best picture all I had was my phone with me to take a picture of the event. So, that is what we have been up to.

Vacation?
I thought I would post some pictures of our wonderful long waited for, very much anticipated vacation.
Sunday we flew to LAX the flights looked good, we even checked 2 bags! We got in about 9:30 am and our flight to Lihue Kauai wasn't until like 1:50 pm. So we waited. At boarding time we went to our gate and to our horror we were long longer number 4 and 5 on the standby list just hoping we got first class, we were number 25!! Yes all the standby's from the other Hawaii flights like Honolulu (which you can never get to and should never expect to as a standby unless you are #1 on the list) and Maui and Kona had rolled over to our flight when they couldn't get on theirs! A great start to our wonderful vacation, we tried flights from LAX ALL day and couldn't get out, even back to SLC. It sucked. It really was disappointing. So we rented a car and drove an hour to my cousin Matt's house-Thanks for letting us stay, it is nice to sleep in a bed instead of the airport floor! we spent a ton of money eating at the ridiculously priced airport restaurants even though we ate at McDonalds twice! At Matt's house we checked the flights for tomorrow (MON) after all this was originally when we were going to leave so we figured it would still be ok. And flights did look pretty good, it looked like most the the stanby's should get on their flights leaving not too many rolling over onto ours. We get the the airport and all the self check-in terminals are being tested and not open so there is one giant line to get to the 2 customer service agents checking in Delta passengers! What a joke, is this really LAX how can a huge airport really operate this way!! Luckily they checked in people who had no carry-ons, which was us, ours were already in Hawaii! Ryan checked in and found out our flight had been delayed until 5:40 that night!! Giving other unsuccessful Hawaii stand-bys the change to steal our seats! So we looking at flights to SLC and knowing we would never make it out if we stayed to get on our flight. Everything was oversold!! We flew United to St. George, and from St. George we flew back home to SL. I was so upset and disappointed. If we had known we would get stranded in stupid LAX we would have gone somewhere else, but we didn't and that pretty much ruined our vacation. Flights to most sunny beach destinations were now unattainable! We thought we could go to Texas to the biggest water park, but the cost of a car rental there was so insanely high we could not bring our selves to pay that much for a day and a half! So we ended up going to San Jose CA to go to Raging Waters, supposedly one of the bigger water parks in the US. It was fun but nothing compares to Hawaii, especially when you have been planning your whole 5 days off for the year for months now and didn't get to go anywhere cool! (no offense San Jose) so that was our fairly crappy week rolled into a nut shell. Oh and to top it off somewhere in the mix of getting like 50 different boarding cards because we tried to many unsuccessful flights to get our of LAX, we lost our boarding card that had our baggage tag on it...and we are Non-rev...we still don't have our luggage...it might be a month. Other employees don't like to help employees. I have not figured that one out yet. So I guess we have next year to look forward to. For now I will just sit here an sulk about our lost vacation.

Parking Ticket
The campus police are kind of Nazi's! Because we have 2 cars we have a close parking space (permit B) which is still not that close. And a far parking space (permit C) which is even farther away. I am probably just being a baby because I am always running late for work and the extra distance to the car doesn't help. Anyway On Tanners birthday (March 26) I had made cupcakes and gone to the store, when I got back from the store I decided to park in the B permit parking with my C permit car just to unload the groceries and load the cakes. Carrying groceries in is my least favorite chore-we are juice drinkers and it is heavy! So when I came back out to load the cupcakes and leave I had a warning. I was a little annoyed. Then Last Week I parked in this spot.
ok I was parked where the gold car was parked. And the sign is a little unclear. It could mean visitor parking or C permit parking so I parked there since I have a C permit and it is the closest parking spot not taken up by broken down cars!!
It was just a crapy morning. I was running late, and work was stressing me out...and then I got a ticket! I was SOO mad! I took pictures so I could go in a fight my case.
If you notice the sign is NOT on the line, it is in the parking spot so I concluded I could park there, and other C permit people figured the same thing because they are always parking there too. So I went in and protested the ticket and got it dropped! I was so proud of myself.
Today is officially a great day because Ryan is done with the semester. He took his last final this afternoon. I am so happy. Even though next week officially starts a crappy schedule... at least I will get to see him after work. I have been going to my water aerobics class on Tues, Zumba on Wed, and Turbo Kick on Thurs, that keeps me pretty busy.

What the...?
Today is April 15 it is a bad day because it is tax day and that sucks for us. And it is a worse day because this morning when I left for work it was slushing! We even had some pretty big flakes during the day, which I did not get a picture of and here is what it currently looks like outside of my apartment.
I would be fine if it were raining after all April showers bring May flowers right? But when was the last time your shower snowed? It doesn't and it shouldn't be now. Other than the huge worms all over the sidewalk that is really the only thing wrong with today. I really have nothing to do so I am blogging (maybe not the best idea, sorry!)
Yesterday my dad came up to get his glasses fixed and we went to dinner after wards and he brought me flowers just for being a great daughter (favorite!)
Another happy thing. I have a full fridge!
That might seem really random to you but sometimes I don't go to the store for weeks! It is kind of sad to admit that. If you were thinking we must eat out a lot, you were right, but I am trying to be better however it is very hard! I even got delicious strawberries! I was going to make strawberry shortcake but we are eating the angel food cake I made and the strawberries taste so good by themselves they might be gone before we make dessert!
Speaking of desserts we had Easter with my family and I was in charge of dessert. I made 3 homemade pies. That is right homemade, even the crusts!!! I made Key Lime (my favorite) Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip and lemon meringue. They all turned out delicious and I was so proud of myself! I wish I would have taken pictures. They were yummy! Easter was a little different this year, we don't really have any little kids who do the egg hunt so my Aunt Linda put the dollar bills in eggs and hid them for our "little boys" Tanner and Chad who are 13, Spencer 15 Matt and Andy 16 and 19(?). Cute!
Because all of our money went to paying Taxes Ryan had to do a medical research study just to earn some extra money. Poor boy has to go in every morning this week to dose which is extremely hard for him. The information packet says "Rifampin may cause side effects such as urine, stools, saliva, sputum, sweat, and tears to turn red-orange; this effect is harmless." But will still shock you when it happens! Ryan called me the other day at work to tell me how surprised he was the his urine was red-orange! We think it is pretty funny, hopefully not too much information. But I love his dedication! The things we will do to make some cash! Anyway I have nothing more to ramble on about so you are done now. yea!
