D is for Disneyland!!!






Yes, that is correct! We had the oppurtunity to go down to California and go to Disneyland and California Adventures for 5 days!! ( That is thanks to Ben and Cami for our tickets and room!!) We had such a blast!! Aaron and I decided why not make it a long vacation, because we were about due for one and a vacation we made it. :)
We started on Thursday September 30th after work at 5:00 and headed down to St. George for the night to see my grandparents. We stayed over night and the about 11:00 am on Friday morning we drove straight to Moreno Valley, CA, my old stomping grounds to see my Aunt and Uncle and where i grew up. It was so fun to see them! We went out to eat and caught up on life. Joylynn( my aunt) was SUPER sweet and threw us a party or get- together for all the aunts, uncles and cousins that have not seen each other in years to have a fun party and catch up. I LOVED it so much and missed everyone so much i want to do it more often. We had some awesome laughs and a fun walk down memory lane.
Sunday Aaron and I went and spent the day at Sea World. One of my favorite places because of Dolphins of course! It was a fun but tiring day! We then met up with Aaron's sister and her family at the hotel we would be staying in for the next week. We unpacked our stuff in our AWESOME suite with King bed and bath all to ourselves. His sister and brother in law really treated us well!! We are ever so grateful to them.
So... For the next 5 days we spent it having a BLAST!! We went from Disneyland to CA adventures and back again as many times as our bodies would let us. We would wake up before sun up (ONLY because her kids are EARLY risers) and dropped about midnight every night! I do not have clue where we got our energy! I assume it was from all the "magic" of Disneyland! Haha :)
We switched off nights with my in laws for nights out. So one night they would go out on a date then the next night was our turn. We loved our trip! We spent nights at the parks, Bubba Gumps, Hot tubbing etc... The weather was perfect for the most part. Three of the days it rained but that was great because line waits were minimal, the next few days lines were SUPER busy ( for this time of year) and waits were no fun! :)
Aaron and i decided to make an even bigger trip out of it and hit up Vegas on the way home for the night... Well... Lets just say Aaron got SUPER sick. Food poisoning we believe. We stopped by to say goodbye to my family down there and then drove to Vegas and went to Mandalay Bay and visited the Shark Reef. I enjoyed myself as Aaron was not doing so super. We decided to cut our Vegas trip short so he could get some rest. I was SUPER tired of driving and so we ended up getting dinner in Mesquite and staying the night there. We drove home Sunday and got home about two in the afternoon, picked up our dog, unpacked and relaxed from our Vacation.
Monday I had the day off for the state holiday and just enjoyed myself. That is 11 1/2 days of pure FUN!! I could not have asked for anything better. I rarely see Aaron with how hard he works so being able to spend that many days with him made me feel like we were dating all over again! I LOVED IT!!
We are EVER so GRATEFUL to Ben and Cami for making this trip possible for us! We loved it and loved hanging out with them and the kids! We love you guys and once again THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

My sister in law wants to start selling Lia Sophia Jewelry. So i am hosting a party for her at her house. I am inviting anyone who would like to come. It is on...

I KNOW people say it is too expensive, BUT they have AWESOME sales (like this month is buy 2 get 4 half off- you can 'buy' the two cheapest things and get the expensive things half off.) You can even make your order btwn a few people to save money that way.
It should be fun, so please come support her if you can.

Labor day weekend



We had such a blast this weekend. To start it off Friday night we laid our very last tile for the basement shower. Man, that took lo
ng enough- like six months to finish. Really only 3 days if you are only counting the days we actually had time to work on it. :) We then met Aaron's brother and his family along with Kyle out to the Sand dunes for some four wheeling, camping and paint ball. It was SO fun! I enjoyed the four wheeling, Aaron LOVED the paint ball!
We packed up on Monday afternoon and came home to clean up so that we can head over to the Christensen's for some more holiday fun. We carpooled with the Dix family there for a BBQ. It was a small, yet fun group. We really enjoyed ourselves and seeing everyone. We ate and chatted it up. It was a great time.

Mmm... Beef Stew

We are COMPLETELY out of dog food! Aaron today while working was going to stop at the store and pick some up. However he called saying he will be working late and i did not think twice about it. The dogs started whining and tipping their bowls. I remembered i needed to feed them (wonderful owner i am, i know) and realized i have no food. So i went to the pantry and they now had a wonderful high class meal of beef stew! LOL. I know you would think i would just go to the store and get another bag, but hey- it worked. They are content for now and they never get human food, so what a delight for them. Aren't they lucky. :) Some of you think i might be horrible, however it was pretty funny because it stained Jack's hair. Mojo is black you cant see it. I am sure deep inside they are saying THANK YOU MOM! YOU ROCK! :)

The new do and new location

So my hair is at the grow out stage and i really wanted to cut it because the grow out stage is that annoying stage where it never works and looks sloppy all the time. Well since i want to try a little bit longer to grow it out, i decided to try something a little more drastic for me. I showed Debi what i wanted and i got it :) It is crazy and different, but i am liking the change. (pictures below)
The next new thing in my life is starting Wednesday i will be working in Provo! Yay! The Orem District Court is closing so that Orem city can open up a city court or justice court, therefore we all are transfering around to different locations. I originally was told i am going to Spanish Fork which btw is BEAUTIFUL, but was able to trade with a girl currently working in Provo who lives that way. I was very grateful. It is a 3 min drive (only 1.2 miles) from my house and it will be wonderful! I do however have the chance for promotion if i go to American Fork, but do not think it is worth it at this time, so YAY for Provo!
*most people ask me is the court closing because they are bankrupt or budget cuts. The answer is NO. Each city has to have some form of a court and if the city chooses not to then the state moves in to cover until they decide they want the revenue. (why it seems the police write more citations in that city) They also have a county justice court to help out as well. Anyways... The city now wants that revenue so the state moves out of the way. The state eventually wants on one court house on the north end of the valley- that is way in the future.

Our new blog!

I felt it was weird to have a shared blog under my name and since we are starting new because finally we have a computer and the Internet, I intend on staying more updated. We also got a new camera, so now no more excuses. I hope to use this blog as my journal and print it each year so i need to be better. So yay for resolutions! So come on or come all who would like to follow us on our adventure of "Becoming Gee-zers together!" Also if you have been waiting for me to post wedding and honeymoon pictures (sorry it took so long) I have put quite a few on FB. I did not want to do too many on the blog. So just check them out there.
