Fall Is Near...

Mike has had to go out of town alot for work lately so I've been stuck finding ways to keep me busy so I don't get too lonely & bored with out him. Well, last week my friend Becca & I decided that we were going to make our own Harvest wreaths this year. I made my Christmas wreath last year w/ some coworkers and I absolutely LOVE'd it and it didn't cost nearly as much as it does to find a good wreath at the store. So anyways, with Mike being gone this week I felt it was a good time to make them.

We found a great idea on the internet for doing square wreaths. Whenever I see square wreaths I totally love them & this website said that you could make them by using picture frames & wahlaa a great idea was born & that is what we did. We found some fun garland at Michael's crafts (which was 50% off) and went to work. All we did was paint the frames a goldish brown, then we hot glued on the leaves & I LOVE how they turned out!! It was soo much fun & it was a ton cheaper then buying a wreath like what we had made :) Anyways I wanted to share it with you because it was such a fun & easy way to get a fun/different wreath for the holidays. Mine is the reddish one on the right & Becca's is on the left!

Let me know what you think & if you have any other fun harvesty craft ideas please share!!!

A Little About Me :)

So Mike is watching a stupid movie and I really am not in the mood for watching a movie tonight so I decided to do this tag that my sister & sister n' law tagged me on like 3 months ago...oopsy! Better late then never I guess :)

The last Four jobs I have had:

1. Currently, I am an Inside Sales Rep at Marketstar: No I don't sell anything but I do assist companies that sell HP product (yes like the computer) & help them make loads of money :) It has actually been a good change for me! I love the people I work with and the environment!!

2. Marketing Assistant for Richmond American Homes: This job was great for me!! I got to be creative, plan events, tour our communities & help keep my boss organized! I loved my boss & overall I really enjoyed my job until the Market turned upside down and I was layed off :( hence...the job w/ Marketstar now :)

3. Warranty Specialist & Sales Manager Assistant for Salisbury Homes: Yes another job w/ a homebuilder but it helped me learn alot about building homes. But I would NEVER suggest managing the warranty department for a homebuilder, unless you like getting yelled at on like a daily basis :( No Fun There!

4. Receptionist for Integrity Direct Marketing in St. George: This was a pretty short lived job but the people were really nice & our boss took us to California Adventure Land & to an Anaheim's baseball game once. That was pretty fun!

Four movies I have watched more than once:

I wouldn't consider myself a movie buff but, I do really like:
1. What happens in Vegas! Soo funny!!! If you haven't seen it yet, you must!
2. How to lose a Guy in 10 Days! Again, I think this movie is soo fun & cute!
3. The Notebook! The first time I saw this was w/ Mike & this was before the "I Love You's" were said, so I was certain after watching this movie that he would say "I Love You", since it soo made you want to be in love (which I was)...well, he didn't :( But he did say them soon after :)
4. She's the Man! Mike and I watched this like 5 times after we rented it! We think Amanda Bynes is Soo Funny!!!
Geez, if you can't tell I sure do LOVE my Chick Flicks!!

Four places I have lived:

1. Rigby, Idaho - This was home to me for Many Years!! And where Many of my memories still are

2. Rexburg, Idaho - Yes I attended BYU-Idaho, or as the locals would call it the Y of I. Some of the best years of my life...before Mike that is

3. St. George, Utah - Me and my dearest friend Nicole moved here after college. We had the BEST summer ever!!! I will never forget that time...well, until she left me :( (Love ya Nicole)

4. Provo, Utah - I moved up to go to Massage Therapy school & this is where most of Mike & I's courtship took place :)

Four places I have been:

1. Maui, HI - So Beautiful!!

2. Cancun, Mexico - Loved the beaches

3. San Francisco, California - way fun

4. Moscow.....Idaho!! Yeah not as cool as Moscow, Russia!

Four Facts you probably don't know about me:

1. I've had the same toe ring on my toe for over 5 years now & no it's not stuck. I just like it & haven't had a need to take it off, maybe I should to check for some fungus or something...haha!

2. I was thrown out of a car when I was in 8th grade and am here to tell about it. I have 4 scars on my body from the accident that I use to always make sure were covered but now there are apart of me & I am just grateful that Heavenly Father gave me a 2nd chance!

3. I am very self conscious of my knees! I really don't like them!! They are chubby knees & one of them holds one of my 4 scars! It's weird because you would probably look at people and say Dang, I would give anything for those legs, her toned tummy and so fourth & me I'm like "Look at those Knees!" I know totally weird!

4. I want a Monkey! I've always wanted a monkey. I mean how cooler of a pet can you get??!!?? I'm sure I'll never get one & I hear they are really mean but I am certain that mine would be nice :)

Four Favorite Foods

1. Chicken Fetuccinne Alfredo - Especially at Pizza factory

2. Chicken Enchiladas - sorry mom but I really do like my version

3. Lasagna - a childhood Favorite

4. GRILLED CHEESE!! I order this everywhere - even if we're at a nice restaurant!!

Four places I would like to visit:

1. New York City - I would love to see everything there is to see!!! Eat everything & shop til I dropped!!

2. Australia - I've always wanted to go to Australia! Who wouldn't want to take a ride in a Kangaroo's pouch, pet a Koala Bear, surf at the beach! It all sounds soo wonderful!

3. Nauvoo - I really think I could use a boost in my Church History & what a greater place to do it.

4. Costa Rica!!! Ok, so I probably wouldn't have thought of this before but since we're planning on going there in November I better put it down!!! I am Way Excited!!!

Four things I am looking forward to for the rest of the year:

1. Well obviously going to Costa Rica!!! We're going with my bestest friend Becca & her husband. And even though we just went to Cancun in February, I am definately ready for another get away. Away from reality, work, household chores, etc!! I need this desperately & I can't wait to share it with all of you!!!

2. Put up Christmas Decorations!! I LOVE Christmas and the whole spirit of it! And...since I finally remembered to hit the after christmas sales I finally am getting lots of decorations to put up!! I can't wait!!! Now only if I had a bigger christmas tree........

3. Snowboarding!!! We didn't get to go much last year & Mike is still new at the sport but he is doing soo good & we already splurged and got him an early birthday present so we have to go LOTS so he can get good use of his new gear!!! We have soo much fun going together!

4. The Holidays! Christmas & Thanksgiving! I love spending time w/ the family and since we don't live really close to any, I like getting to take time away from work and just enjoying eachother and the whole spirit it brings! Plus I am still like a 5 year old when it comes to opening presents on Christmas morning :)

Well, hopefully you learned a little more about me! I won't tag anyone but please feel free to play along if you haven't done this one already :)

Am I a Golfer???

So for those of you that know my family know that I am apart of what you would call a "Golfing Family". Well, I think it made my parents sad to find that I, myself, wasn't so much of a golfer. I mean I did the lessons, joined Jr. Golf (where I only found guys to flirt with), played in a few tournaments and for the most part played the part as a golfer. Although, I lacked a very crucial element...The Love of the Game. Well, my parents soon learned that I was hopeless and let me do things that I had more of a passion for. Well, come to find out I would meet & fall madly in love with a golfer so the game continues to haunt me. Mike has helped try to develop my skill and even got me a way cute golf bag but still the Passion never came to find me.

Well, my work hosted a golf tournament where you could either get a team together and play or you could stay at work and work. Well my cute friend Becca & I decided that it would be silly for us not to play and to work. So we got the one & only girl's teams together & set out to show all those boys that we could do it too. Well needless to say we got last place, but I think I had the funnest time I ever had golfing & to tell you the truth I was really wacking that ball & found myself enjoying myself & the game of golf. Then & there Becca and I decided that we wanted to become golfers :) So the next weekend we brought our husbands out with us as well to prove to them that we could do it. I believe that they were somewhat impressed & enjoyed watching us try to show that we could do it too.

So Mom & Dad...maybe all your efforts didn't go completely down the drain! Your daughter may actually enjoy the game that she fought against for much of her life!!! Now my next challenge is convincing Mike that I need real cute girl clubs (and they actually will help me play better) :)

Here are some pics of my golfing adventures...

Labor Day Weekend

So...We decided to go to Logan for Labor Day weekend to visit w/ Mike's fam since we hadn't been up there in a while. We got up there Saturday afternoon & Mike's mom thought it would be fun to go eat at a Thai restaurant for dinner. None of us had really had Thai before but her so we thought it would be fun trying something new. Well...I'm not completely sold on the food but we had fun anyways. I will have to admit my favorite part was the appetizer (which I picked). The chicken was scrumptious!! And funny side note...while we were ordering Mike's mom ordered something & I was reading what was in it on the menu and it said Peanut Sauce. So I asked the waitress what Peanut Sauce was & everyone started laughing (including the waitress) & Mike's mom's face turned a nice cherry red, well I thought it was only because it was such a stupid question. Anyways, come to find out, I didn't exactly say "Peanut Sauce" but something else... I'll let you figure it out but it turned out to be a fun family joke, well atleast Mike seemed to think so. Here are some pics of our dinner:

For Labor Day we had all planned to have a relaxing day at Bear Lake & see Mike's grandparents at their cabin & of course get some well needed laying out & swimming in. Well, we should have known it was going to Snow there! How silly of us to expect otherwise. So yeah let's just say we didn't go but we improvised w/ the conditions and decided to go bowling. I haven't been bowling in quite awhile but I was certain that my Wii playing skills would get me a strike Every time! Well come to find out it's much easier to bowl in the Wii then at an actual bowling alley, but Mike was still very impressive! He got a spare or stike in EVERY frame but one durring our second game & of course took Victory!!! It was really fun & I think it's time to talk Mike into joining a Co-Ed Bowling League!! I think it would be Soo fun!! But I'm sure it will have to take a LOT of persuading considering my scores at the end of the day :(

Thanks Mike's fam for a Great Time!! And so you know in all the pictures it was Mike, Me, His Parents & his Sister Angie w/ her new hubby Dave :)

And I just wanted to post this because it reallly made me laugh! So whenever we are in Logan Mylo is a Pain in the Hiney because he won't leave their dog alone who is like 14 years old which is like a 100 years old in doggy years so let's just say he isn't up to much for playing. Anyways he doesn't sleep and he won't stop bugging him so whenever we come home he is zonked & sleeps hours (which we won't complain about). Anyways we stopped at the store on our way home and Mylo was sleeping & the sudden stop of the car woke him up & so when I looked back this is how I found him & he just sat there with no intention of getting the shirt off his face!! I took that as "Man did I have a Good Weekend"!! So of course I had to take a pic
