For Sale

This was my Grandma's home and the house my mom grew up in. I am posting this for my memories of what her house looked like and because maybe I can help my mom sell it.

I have a lot of great memories in this house and even though it looks a little dated it was a big part of my childhood just the way it was with the rose colored carpet in my Grandma's room and always seeing my grandparents sitting on the front porch when we pulled up. My grandma passed away just over a year ago and it is still so weird to know she won't be there giving out candy to all of the neighborhood kids or taking a stroll around her neighborhood. Sure the house needs a little work and I am sure who ever buys it will change a lot of things. My memories will always be there and this will always be my grandparent's house.
I know that my mom has some great memories in this house and even though she might not say it I think she is really going to miss this house. We did get a lot of amazing stuff when we were cleaning out the house. Lots of pictures of my grandparents that I have never seen, my grandma's wedding dress and all of those little things that I remember from spending lots of time in this home.

As sad as I am to see this house go I know that it is time and so with that I will put a link for the listing. Hopefully someone else will love this house like I did.

Utah County

Most of you know I grew up in Salt Lake for most of my life then one day I got married and we bought at house and moved down to UT County. I didn't realize that life would be different away from the SLC but it is.

In Utah County: (we are going to call it the UTC)

*Everyone passes on the right. WTF!? Why are you driving so slow in the fast lane and so fast in the slow lane?

* They don't like stop signs instead they like to have "circles of death" everywhere, I think it is some city planner's demented sense of humor. You don't have a four way stop but you have five lanes all coming to yeild signs at the same time and trying to be the first to make your way through the round-a-bout before you DIE. I am now a pro at driving in a circle, England here I come!

* You should add at least an extra 15 minutes to your drive just in case you get stuck behind a tractor, which happens more often then you would think

* Utah fans do exist in the UTC, although we are few and far between we still bleed RED

*As far as BYU fans go, on game day don't even think about going to Orem or Provo for food it will take you at least twice as long and if you aren't wearing blue be afraid

* Our potholes will swallow your entire car

*Mormon Standard Time is a real thing in the UTC.

* If you love to save with coupons you don't stand a chance at that deal in the UTC

* Costco and the Fabric Stores on a Tuesday at 11:00 am are crazy in the UTC. Imagine Costco on a Saturday in the SLC that is how crazy it is everyday of the week!

I am sure this list will continue to grow but for now that's all I got.

A very "special" flashback for a Friday

Since my flashback for a Friday was pretty awesome last time I thought I would share some super duper awesomeness this week.
Oh Saved By the Bell, how I used to love thee. But to be perfectly honest I still kind of love this show. I just thought for this flashback I will share this very "special" episode that I think helped shape many aspects of my life, especially how every video in the late 80's early 90's had to do with working out. The first video is just the best music video ever but the second video, well what can I say?? Tell me it doesn't make you get all choked up. Enjoy :)

Of course the most important part of this very special episode

To Have and to Hold

(this should have posted yesterday but my internet was down, so pretend like it is still August 11th)
5 years ago today........


I married my best friend. Best. Decision. Ever.

4 years ago today......



We decided to make the decision to be together for eternity!

I am about to get a little mushy so hold on tight

Dear Adam,

When I said "I do" 5 years ago I knew I was making a choice that would affect  both of our lives forever. Not once have I regretted that choice. I am so thankful to have you as my husband. I cannot believe we have been together for over 10 years but I wouldn't change a thing. Sometimes it's hard to think that we are not still teenagers getting ready for prom or going to concerts but I am happy that all of those memories I have are with you. Things have not always been easy in our relationship and in the last few years we certainly have had our share of trials. But with those trials we know how much stronger we are together and that we really are blessed. I am so happy to wake up to your face every morning and to be able to fall asleep in your arms every night. You are my best friend, my support, my other half. You make me laugh, take care of me and always find a way put me first. I have never met a more selfless, and caring man and there is no one I would rather have by my side. I am so grateful to have you as my husband for now and all of eternity.
Happy Anniversary my love and here's to an eternity together!


Us through the years......

Checking In

I know it has been a while!

In the past two weeks I have been:

* Getting prepared for Girl's Camp
* Trying to get through the end of the month at work
* Went to Girl's Camp for a whole week!
* Trying to unpack from Girl's Camp, this one is a work in progress
* Signed up for CNA school which I start in a week. Once this class is over I should be able to FINALLY start Nursing school since my pre-requisites have been done for over a year and a half.
* Had a trial that has been one of the hardest I have had to deal with but we are making it through.

I am finally getting back on my feet so look for some new posts to be coming and I have another fantastic Flashback for a Friday coming!

Thanks to all of you who continue to read.
