UPDATE is a comin'

Ok, I know that I am in need of a serious update, but where is the time? Where did this month go???? Actually where did this year go??? I honestly cannot believe that it is almost 2009!! That is crazy! Anyways, I have many pictures that I will post soon, so you all can enjoy them! Have a HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!!!

My newest craving...oh so YUMMY!!

I don't know if you have ever been to Red Mango before....but I highly recommend it. It is my newest obsession!!! If you like yogurt, you will LOVE this! It has kind of a bitter taste, but it's good. The only one they have right now is in Fort Union or at The Energy Solutions Arena, but they are opening more stores in the upcoming months. If it wasn't so far away from where I live, I would probably go everyday. Plus you don't feel as guilty because it is somewhat healthy for you....BONUS!! Anyways, Have a Merry Christmas and go endulge yourself in this wonderful creamy bitter but oh so sweet goodie =)

Twilight

So I know that it has been awhile since I have updated my blog with anything interesting, but what can I say...Life is BUSY!! So I thought I would tell you my thoughts on Twilight. I know that it has been a few weeks since the movie has come out, but hey, better late then never right!! So I went to the movie very open-minded and I have to say that I really enjoyed it. And I have to say that Edward is very good looking at times. I was disappointed as many of you were with the Meadow Scene....totally destroyed it. And they didn't add some of my favorite parts, like the blood testing at school. But all in all, it was very good. I would definitely go see it again. I can't wait to see how the rest of the series plays out. So, if anyone is willing to go see it again, let me know, I am definitely up for it.

Look, I made a craft!

So this last Monday, I spent a couple hours making a craft at my friend Maria's house. Maria posted on her blog that she was going to do a neighborhood craft night, since we have all been begging her to do one (she is honestly the craftiest person I have ever met, she makes the cutest things). Anyways, it was so much fun. Who knew that I could be crafty...well as long as someone has all the tools to do so =). We made these cute blocks that say Joy! It took about 2 1/2 hours, but it was totally worth it. It turned out SOOOOO cute, plus it was fun to chat with some of the cute girls in my ward! So, here it is...aren't ya jealous?!

Happy Halloween!!!

Today at work was so awesome! We decided that we would all dress up like rockers for Halloween. It was a blast and everyone looked so great! My office ROCKS!!!!

Washington D.C. with the Petrini's

Corey and I are in Virginia this week for Corey's work. We are so close to where my cousin Melissa and her family live that we have been able to spend some time with them. Corey and I went to the D.C. Temple on Saturday with Melissa and John. It was so beautiful, and it is always awesome to be able to go to different temples. We would have taken some photo's, but it was pouring rain when we got out. After the temple we went back to their house and had pizza! Their kids are so adorible. On sunday we drove up to their house and went to church with them and then they had us over for dinner! It was delicious (Thanks you guys)!! After dinner we drove into D.C. and we were able to see some of the sites. We saw The Washington Memorial, The World War 2 Memorial and The Lincoln Memorial. We would have went to some more places, but it was getting dark and cold.

We had such a good time and it is always fun catching up with family!!

Scavenger Hunt and Witch-A-Palooza

Every year Corey's mom and sisters do a Scavenger Hunt at Gardner Village with the grand kids. They have different clues that lead them to specific stores, and then they get a bag full of stuff from that store. It is a lot of fun! This year was different though. After the Scavenger Hunt all of us girls went to the Dinner Theatre program at The Gathering Place called Witch-A-Palooza. It was a blast! The whole audience at times were out of their seats and dancing and singing. It was a lot of fun. And the food was great too.

Here are some photo's of all of us girls at the Witch-A-Palooza!! Thanks again Claudia! What a fun night!

RSL Game!

Last Thursday a few of my co-workers and I went to the very first RSL game in the new Rio Tinto Stadium. It was a blast, but VERY cold of course. The stadium is way nice. I didn't watch most of the game because my co-worker Megan and I were too busy "HAT watching". I don't know if it was just around us but for some reason, people were wearing the weirdest hats. I must not have got that memo. Check these out




So, anyways we had a good time. I don't know how many games we will actually go to because as Corey puts it "Soccer is not very action packed". I would be up to go to more games, but next time I will be dressing warmer, and maybe pack some of those nifty hand warmer things. I bought some Hot Chocolate at the game, it tasted good, but the best part was it was keeping my hands from freezing!

Office Party to watch..."The Office"

My co-workers and I are huge fans of "The Office"! Thank you NBC for finally returning our favorite witty and awkwardly funny show to the television screen, now we finally have some new material to laugh about at work! Besides the classic "That's what she said!". Anyways, we decided to have a BBQ and then watch the finale and then the premier. It was a lot of fun, and a big thanks to Brad and Kristin for letting us crash your house and theatre room to watch our favorite show. Honestly, I think I work with the best group of people ever. We are all so close, and there's no drama, which is rare when you have a kabillion girls working together!! I love you guys! Let's do that every week =)

Our New Table....mostly to look at!

When Corey and I got married, my boss gave us his table, since they were getting a new one. We were very grateful at the time, because we couldn't afford much. It was a nice table and it served us great for 3 years, but recently I have been thinking that it's time for a change. While walking thru Down to Earth at Gardner Village, I saw the exact table I have been wanting. So I put it on hold (since it was on clearance) and came home to tell Corey the good news. I couldn't believe it when he told me that I could buy it. When we went to look at it, Corey asked me "Are you as happy as I was when I got my gun?". And of course I said yes. So anyways, it is a beautiful table and I love it. It is a counter height table with four chairs and a bench. I don't know how much we will actually eat on it, since most of you know I don't cook much, but at least it is pleasant to look at. We will probably use it for games more than anything. Anyways, thanks babe for letting me buy it. And don't think that you can use this as an excuse to buy more hunting stuff, because you already own the entire cabelas store =)

By the way, does anyone else think that we need to replace that hideous 80's style light above it? If so, please let Corey know how ugly it is!

Hike up Big Cottonwood

On Friday night Corey and I drove up Big Cottonwood canyon and went for a hike. I haven't been hiking in FOREVER, but it wasn't so bad. The sun was getting close to setting as we arrived at a good spot for Corey to pull out his scope and look for deer (the reason behind the hike). It was a beautiful view from where we were and it was very peaceful! Extremely quiet. I was getting a little nervous because of all the Bear stories you hear about. I was keeping an eye out the entire time, making sure that no bear of mountain lion were creeping up on us. Boys are so funny, I don't quite understand why they love this stuff so much. We didn't see any deer, but it was still good to get out and actually do something somewhat physical.
