2009! Can you believe it?




I am sitting here just thinking about how FAST 2008 went by! It is crazy to think that a whole year has gone by and number 1- I didn't even come close to keeping my New Year's Resolutions from last year :( and number 2- I can hardly remember everything that happened! We have been SO extremely blessed this past year and we are definitely excited for the changes this next year will bring!

Exciting changes that will be happening in 2009:

1. We both graduate from Utah State in May!
2. Moving to WHO KNOWS WHERE for Josh to start law school! It is frustrating how LONG it takes for law schools to notify you of admission...Don't they know I need to plan out our lives? :)
3. Me (hopefully) getting a Speech Technician job, but if not, at least a job that I enjoy and will pay the bills!
4. Possibly a trip to Europe!
5. Maybe a baby? I have been baby hungry for a long time, but we'll see if I can hold out another year!

We just wanted to wish you all a very Happy New Year!!!

...Movin'...


As many of you know, we have been apartment managers for the past year for a few apartment complexes here in Logan. Although, it was a good experience and Josh learned how to fix MANY things, we decided it was time to de-stress our lives a little bit. So we moved from our spacious 2 bedroom apartment to a tiny...and I mean tiny... studio apartment. All I know is I will be making a lot of trips to the DI because we have WAY too much crap! Our apartment is full of boxes and bags and we only have a tiny pathway to walk around.
We will only be living there until the first of May and then we will be graduated and out of Logan for good!

Check This Out

Elf Yourself

Our Friend Aaron made this "Elf Yourself" Video for us and we thought it was pretty funny, so we thought we would share it with all of you :) Happy Holidays!

Addicted


I don't know how many of you have ever watched the show LOST, but Josh and I are absolutely hooked. We started watching Season 1 not too long ago, and we are now into Season 4. On the weekends, we usually watch like 5 episodes a night! It is one of those shows that once you start you can't stop. I almost can't wait until we are caught up, so we can have our lives back!

The Big 2-2


Well I am officially 22 years old! For those of you who know me well, my birthday has always been the highlight of the whole year. I used to count down 6 months in advance until my birthday and remind pretty much every person I saw that it was my birthday. I woke up this morning expecting to be excited like usual, but I was actually a little sad :( I officially feel like I am getting older, which isn't a bad thing, but I think I was just sad that I wasn't jumping off the walls that it was my birthday.
Anyways, enough of the moping around about getting older, but we plan on having a fun day and hopefully my 22nd year will be as fun as the rest!
