2009-12-09T23:09:00.003-07:00

I absolutely love Christmas time! This year was so fun to be able to decorate my own house, so here are a few pics of my tree and decorations!!!

And yes that is football on the tv!! ha ha that's all craig does during his time off!!! but he kinda got me hooked, i love playing it now!!!

since my last post!

2009-10-05T11:24:00.006-06:00

since my last post so many things have happened! i always forget to blog until i have like 20 things i wanna blog about! so here is a little of what we have been doing!

we went to europe for 2 weeks! we went to london, paris, switzerland, belgium and amsterdam! It was an amazing trip with just me and craig! it was a dream come true! everyone needs to experience it at least once in their life! we are planning on going back lots of times!

I have missed stormy, sam, my dads, and craigs birthday so happy late birthday to all of you! i love you all! We had such fun parties for all of the birthdays! we had a bbq at stormy and codys house for her bday, for sams we had a cute party at nic and riley house with awesome blue cake and cookies! and for dad and craigs we had a combine party that was byu themed! since they are both obsessed! ha ha

The fall schedule started up at dance again! Everything is going great at the studio, just getting ready for the nutcracker!

I am starting rehearsals this week to be dancing in a show called move! i am so excited to be rehearsing again!! as much as i love teaching, i think i love rehearsing and doing shows more, its the best!!!

Craig started school again! So he is always crazy busy with school and work! he just applied for the nursing program so hopefully that all works out and he can start that in jan.!

Football started again! so that means craig is either glued to the tv watching it or playing it on xbox or at a byu game! ha ha! But at least i got to go to the last byu game with him! we always have tonz of fun at the games!

i will post just a couple fun pics of europe, we took over 2000 pics so its hard to choose which ones to put up! they are all so cool! if you wanna see more go check out my facebook page!

Vegas!!!

2009-07-27T14:41:00.002-06:00

So we went to vegas for the tremain dance comp last week and the kids did amazing!!!! They won the best in show for both the junior and teen divisions! Plus we had 7 of the kids get scholarships! I also got so many amazing compliments on all of our dancers!! It was so much fun for all of us! Me and my mom also got to go see Love and it was so amazing, I think my favorite cirque show for sure!!! I will post fun pics from vegas later, but now i am off to planning our europe trip cuz we leave in less than 2 weeks now!!!!!

Its already been 2 months!

2009-06-14T10:32:00.004-06:00

Yesterday was our 2 month anniversary! Its crazy that we have already been married for 2 months! We have both loved every minute of it, being married is the best! So for our anniversary we wanted to do something fun! We thought year one came out this week and were so excited to see it, but then found out it doesn't come out till the 19th! ha ha, oh well that just calls for another date night next weekend! Instead we went to color me mine and painted! we were there for a good 4 hours, but had so much fun the whole time! Craig painted me a chips and salsa bowl (cuz they are my favorite!) and I made a hot pad/plate thing! they both turned out way good and we get to pick them up next week! After painting we went to Chilis cuz we were both starving and I wanted chips and salsa! ha ha Then we rented a movie and went home and fell asleep watching it! There is something about cuddling up to craig, everytime i do i am out within minutes! I love it but it also means that i never see more than like 5 or 10 min of every movie we watch!

Here are some pics of us at color me mine! Sorry about the ones that are sideways! I rotated them but when they uploaded they went back to sideways!

Finally a couple wedding pics!

So there are only 2 more weeks from today until me and craig get married!!!!!!!!! I am getting so excited that it is finally just right around the corner, I can't wait!!!! One of the things that I am most excited about is not having to leave eachother at night! Maybe we will finally get enough sleep! I can't wait to cook us dinner and eat cereal together every morning! I am so excited to finally be his wife! I just hope I will be the best wife ever cuz I know he will be an amazing husband! :) ahhhhhhhhh, I am so excited!!!!!!!!!

On another note, my dancers went to the spotlight comp. over the weekend and did so freaking amazing! i am so proud of all of them! our studio won the sweepstakes award! that means that we got the highest percentage of diamonds over all the other studios! almost all of our dances made the top 4 of their age groups! my mini co. got 1, 2 and 3 in the top four of their age group!!!! i have never been so proud of the whole studio, everyone just did amazing! we also got many other awards like best choreography, best technique, beautiful ballerinas, lovely legs, most energy, best showmanship and much more! so good job Hot Shots, i couldn't be any happier with how you danced at spotlight!

The cutest valentines day ever!

2009-02-20T16:03:00.002-07:00

This year was the most fun valentines day! To start the day off me and craig got our engagement pictures taken! When we got to Scott Hancock there were flowers waiting for me! A dozen roses and daisys (my favorite!) After we were done taking pics we got to design our wedding invitations! (I can't wait to get them!) Then we had to hurry up to Salt Lake because craig had reservations to eat at tucanos (our favorite resturaunt), it was way cute cuz they had a candle lit dinner with roses on the table, they also added filet minon, shrimp and chocolate covered strawberries to the menu! it was so so good, we ate so much that our waitress said she was impressed! after dinner we went to color me mine and painted for a couple hours in our pjs(it was only $2 instead of $8 if you were in pjs)! if you haven't been there you need to go, it was so much fun! then craig had a surprise to take me too, so we changed back into our nice clothes and he made me close my eyes while he drove there, i was so nervous and didn't know what to expect but once we got there he put something in my hand and i opened my eyes and it was 2 tickets to see romeo and juliet! it was so much fun and so different than anything else we have ever done! I think I have the cutest fiance in the whole world! oh and i forgot to mention that he gave me another nunchuck for the wii cuz i have been asking everyone to get me one! ha ha! So that was our amazing day! I hope everyone had just as fun of a day as us!
