MERRY CHRISTMAS

I wanted to tell you all Merry Christmas (even though it's a day late). Denton & I went to his parents house on Christmas Eve for a party which was very fun, I love getting together with everyone, I can't wait till we have our own children so were not out of the loop all the time, but I'm in no rush gotta finish school first. We spent the night at our cute little apartment, I woke up early to go rearrange the presents so it looked like Santa Claus was there. We had a fun morning, Denton kept saying we were opening presents to fast and that it was almost over-I didn't care cuz I was so excited and I also wanted to get on the road to go to Provo. It was nice having a white christmas, the roads were horrible though. We spent the rest of the day down in Provo. I love being around my family, I can't believe that my brother is going to graduate this year. It doesn't even fell like that he has been in High school (now I'm just going off) anyways we are headed to Idaho in the morning for the Nielson christmas party and we'll be coming home sunday afternoon. Time goes by way to fast.

I'm excited for the New Year, Denton & I have a lot planned. In January we're going to 3 Jazz games & a BYU Basketball game, we'll be headed to Las Vegas for a weekend to go see the show La Reve at the Winns and it's my dad's B-day, Dentons B-day is in february and my cousin Austin is getting married in Feb so we'll be heading back up to Idaho. School will be starting as well. The first week of June we're going to D.C., NYC, Philly, and Virigina Beach then in July we'll be going to the Oregon Coast with family.

I hope you all have a great New Year and a lot of memories to come, I love you all & I'm sorry for the delay between blogs. Thanks for being such great friends!

CALIFORNIA

San Diego Charger's Monday Night Football Game
Denton in the dog pound
" The gang"
WOODY THE SHERIFF
Denton is enjoying himself way too much-but I don't think that is possible at disneyland!

Ok so I'm ticked because I just wrote this long blog of our trip to california and I somehow deleted it so now you get the shortened version. First off to all the chicka's I got pulled over on the way down going 20 over, thankfully to my wonderful husband I drove off scotch free!
We started our journey to San Diego and the first place we ate was the Beach Side Deli and Moo time for dessert. We also went to sea world, the wild animal park, tijuana, and an air craft carrier ship. We also were able to meet up with my parents because they were in town for business. I love my family to death. We ended our trip with going to Disneyland for 3 days. Denton has not been there in 20 years-weird!!!
We had so much fun on this trip, it was nice to be able to spend this much time with my hubby.

1 YEAR ANNIVERSARY

IT'S OUR 1 YEAR ANNIVERSARY TODAY!!!

I can't believe it has been a year already-man does time fly by.

After class Denton took me out to Goodwood (which was our first date) for dinner then we came back and watched the Eagles and Cowboys football game then our wedding video.

We are off to San Diego and Disneyland later this month to celebrate the one year mark!!!

BACK TO SCHOOL TO PROVE TO DAD I'M NOT A FOOL

So it's that time of year again school is in session. After taking a year off I decided I better get back and finish before kids come along. Man it's hard working 40+ hours a week and doing night school but I am determined to finish, it might take 6 more years but I will finish!!!

THE HARLEY IS HERE

THE NEW HARLEY

The Old bullet Bike Denton has dreamed of having his own Harley as long as I have known him. So about a month ago we were in Idaho visiting family and we went to the Harley store, well denton found a bike we both fell in love with. He already had a bullet bike which was fun but it scared me sometimes. So Denton rode back up to Idaho on his day off the following tueaday and traded in his bullet bike for now our "new baby". We have spent so many hours on this bike and we are exciting to go riding with Kim and Jake.

I LOVE MY JOB

I honestly think I work for the best company ever. Some of you have been trying to call me this past week and I apologize for not answering or calling you back but the reason is that my company took all the property managers on a retreat for the week. We stayed at the new Zermott resort and spa in Midway UT. During that stay we went up to the owners cabin and had a BBQ, then he sat and talked with us. For him being a Millionaire he is the most caring and inspiring guy I have met. On Tuesday we went 4-wheeling and had seminars, Wednesday we went to a ropes course, Thursday we went on a helicopter ride and then went to the spa for massages, then went and ate the Robert Redford's restaurant Zoom in park city. Friday we went to the Olympic park and rode the alpine slide a couple of times, the zip line, and also went down the bobsled track (Paige I don't know how you did that for so many years-I'm impressed!!!). With all of these activities we also ate out every meal, stayed up late every night playing games, laughing, and watching movies-I probably got 3-4 hours of sleep every night. There was never an awkward moment. It feels like a family and not a company. I plan on working for this company for awhile.

Fun in the Sun!

Our fun, quick trip to Moab!

The National Arch (Well I think that's what it's called, it's the one on all the license plates)

I LOVE MY MOM ( SHE ALWAYS MAKES ME LAUGH, JUST LOOK AT HER!)

So after a long day jeepin we were beat and starving, we ordered 4 pizzas, then made a fabulous card table out of the drink cooler and pizza boxes. We're a crazy bunch when we all get together!

So not the best picture but we love hiking! Hiking was our first date, Denton proposed on a hike and it's something we love doing together!

Can you believe how big dallas is getting?

Lazy Days

So its Wednesday morning and I am home sick being bored. Its kind of fun though to just relax. We finally got internet only because Denton completed his training a month and a half early and now he has his truck and the laptop that has internet. Its great we don't pay a dime for it. I'm so proud of him. His first day alone is on friday night. Its funny to watch him get all excited about it. So I woke up this morning with a massive migraine and was throwing up all moring. NOT FUN! We discovered guitar hero this past weekend down at my parents house and we have been addicted every since. (I know we're like a year behind everyone else so don't make fun!) We went out and bought 2 guitars and stay up all hours of the night playing. There really isn't much else to do here in Ogden.

I wanted to tell Kim and Jake thanks so much for letting all of us girls and spouses come hang out at their new house and eat pizza and watch the Jazz game. I really miss seeing you guys all the time.

Well nothing is new with us, we're still in the hunt for a house, its a long process trying to find something we like. We have become obsessed with english bulldogs and want to get one really bad but we can't since of the apartment so we just look at them on the internet. One day we'll have a dog.

Love you all!!

Oh so LONG!!!

Well I first have to apologize for the long delay between blogs. I'm not real good at this internet stuff. I barley have time to look at my emails once a month.

Well a lot has changed in our lives, I became the property manager of our complex up here (288 apartments) it has been real stressful but I love the challenage. Denton is now out on the road and loving it!!! I love to listen to his heroic stories when he gets home from work. I'm so proud of him.

We were looking for a house but decided that it wasn't the right time for us, but that's ok because I love our cute apartment!

We are going to Moab next week and are very excited. Denton has never been there, we have it all planned out (because of my father, who when something fun comes up will drop anything) Eric and Karlee are coming with the family too. (to me they are family!!)

I promise to get pictures up soon! Love you all

THE NEW YEAR

It's the beginning of a new year and it has already been a blast! December 31st was such a fun evening, Denton and I went down to Provo to spend time with my girls and their husbands. We played games, ate, and laughed all night. I sure miss being able to see them all the time!

That weekend was my dad's 58 birthday on Jan 4th and then my Birthday was on the 5th. I'm the BIG 22!!! (WEIRD-that seems so old!) Denton's parents took me out to dinner on that thursday to TGIF's and they had the waiters sing to me! It was a fun night! On my Birthday Denton and I drove down to SLC to meet up with my parents and go through a session in the SLC temple. It was beautiful! We then went out to lunch at the Pantry house (it was a good thing we ate cuz my mom and the lady sitting next to me kept laughing at me cuz my stomach wouldn't shut up!) We exchanged gifts in the parking lot of Little America and then went on our way. We spent the afternoon shopping at the Gateway Mall. It was freezing!!! We spent the night at the Anniversary Inn. Denton bought me an Ipod for my birthday I still haven't used it cuz we don't have internet access at home and I can't download music at work!

Denton had an interview for the enforcement side. We haven't heard anything yet but we should find out next week if he'll be transfering.

We are getting prepared for the NASCAR race in Las Vegas at the end of February. I'm exctied because we are going with Denton's sister and her husband, so maybe the three hour wait to get out of the parking lot won't be as bad as last year!
