2012 so far!

2012 has been very good to us so far! These are a couple of things that Ty and I have been up to:
BYU basketball games. This night we went to Zupas for dinner, saw We Bought a Zoo, then got Yogurtland for dessert.
Being love birds
Tyler acting as "horsey" for his nieces
Mozy sales kickoff. Nikki Stone, Olympic Gold aerialist came and spoke to us when we went up to Park City one day to the Olympic Park. She was so motivating! She injured her back really badly and 10 different doctors told her she would never ski again. She worked extremely hard, and ended up with the gold medal!
The Olympic Park had a museum of the different medals and uniforms worn in the 2002 Olympics


Right outside our window where we had our meetings all day were ski jumps that kids were practicing on. One little kid fell really, really hard on one jump and the paramedics had to come and ski him out.
During our break, some of us walked to the luge. We almost took a spin ourselves ;)
That night, Mozy took us to a fun bowling alley in Park City called Jupiter Bowl. The food was incredible and the bowling was fun!
We played pool after we were all bowled-out

We got so tired at the end of the night! We had to meet at at Mozy to take buses to park City at 7 am and didn't get home until midnight!
The next day Mozy paid for us to go skiing. A lot of people didn't take advantage of this, but I sure did! The snow wasn't the greatest at the time, but I still had a really fun time. I went with my co-worker Traci who is a really good skier and I hadn't been for 2 years. This was my 5th time skiing ever! We went down a few scary hills, but I did well and got more comfortable as the day went on!



After skiing, I came home and took a mini nap by the fire because I was so exhausted, then we went to dinner at Brio for Rachel's birthday. It was delicious! We did a little shopping at J. Crew right afterward then went to the car show.



The next day (after sleeping for probably 15 hours...no, I'm not joking, that's how worn out I was from kick off!), we had dinner at Kim and Dave's house then went to the Lehi Trafalga. We did mini-golf, laser tag, rock climbing, and this hilarious ride that is meant for kids but was so much fun! It basically bounces you up and down, and Tyler didn't go on it because he gets motion sickness, but it was so much more exciting than it looked and Kim, Dave and I were laughing so hard! Last Friday night we went to the temple with the Parcells, then had dinner at Outback. On Saturday, I cleaned the house and went to the gym, we went to my dad's house for a fun lunch of spaghetti and played pool, then went to dinner at Olive Garden with Marc and Courtney then to the Orem Trafalga! Afterward we went back to their house and played a fun card game. I think it's call Crazy Six's or something like that.


I went to Texas Roadhouse with my mom and Jocelyn for lunch on Martin Luther King Day because I had the day off of work. My mom and I went shopping afterward, and Jocelyn had to go to work.

Tyler, my mom and I went to visit my grandpa in the hospital on Monday night. He has prostate cancer and had surgery :( I bought him a "lucky" bamboo plant and his favorite - dark chocolate. We went down to the cafeteria and Tyler bought his absolute favorite treat, a chocolate on chocolate Dunford doughnut and some Coke. Really healthy ;) On my way to the hospital it was so snowy and rainy that a car completely flipped over in the intersection. I think the people were okay but it was scary to see! That night we also went over to Kim and Curtis' house to watch the Bachelor and eat my weight in kettle corn.

On Tuesday night I went to get dessert with Kim and Kirsten at the Chocolate. We got a cakookie and spiced hot chocolate. It was fun to catch up with Kirsten because we hadn't seen her in a long time. Her boyfriend met us there and it turns out he asked me out over four years ago when I was dating Tyler at the time so I said no. I knew he looked familiar! They are really cute together! Last night I went to the chiropractor, then went to Olive Garden for dinner with my mom and Katelyn. We got ice cream at Coldstone afterward and it was delish!

Tonight I had my first presidency with the new primary presidency. I got called to be the 1st counselor. Wish me luck!

New Year's Eve

On New Year's eve, Tyler and I went to the BYU basketball game then met Courtney and Marc for dinner at Tepanyaki for Marc's birthday. Tyler and I got filet mignon and shrimp and it was SO good. Afterward, we went to visit my grandpa to give him his birthday chocolates and talked to my mom and grandparents. After that, we went to M & C's for yummy snack, the Newlywed game, and tooting our horns and dancing around outside at midnight, followed by our annual toast of sparking cider. Here's to 2012 being the best year yet!





Christmas!

Christmas was delightful this year. On Christmas Eve we went to the Parcells at 3:30 for siblings present exchange and stories from Walt and Carol, then over to my grandma's for a delicious dinner and gingerbread houses. All of my cousins and aunts and uncles were there and we had our traditional ham and cheese melted sandwiches. The next morning, Ty and I woke up at our house then visited his parent's house for breakfast, went to my grandma's house for presents with my family and a movie, then back to Ty's parents and then drove up to Heber to visit his grandma.









We are so blessed to have such wonderful family and friends to share this holiday season with.

The month of December!

Tyler and I were so busy having fun in December that I am just getting around to have time to documenting it all!

This is what we have been up to:

- Light of the World in Salt Lake with the Parcells which set the tone for the season, then we got Yogurtland afterward.
- A Christmas Carol at the Hale Center Theater on the 12th with the Parcells. It was a really fun play. During intermission we got hot wassail and afterward we had chicken tacos for dinner at their house.
- For Jocelyn's birthday we went to Ruby River for lunch
- Work party at Noah's where we ate dinner and had Comedy Sports perform
- Sales Christmas party at Rib City where we had a white elephant exchange. You have to keep whatever you get for your white elephant gift at your desk all year. Last year I got a baby doll, and this year I got a stocking. It's always really fun :)
- Movies galore! We saw Mission Impossible 4, War Horse, and Sherlock Holmes
- Cookie exchange party at my friend Amy's house. Everyone brought a different type of cookie to exchange, then we had a gift exchange of your favorite thing. I brought OPI nail polish, then we had snacks and cookies. It was really fun, and a great idea!
- Tyler's Christmas work party. We went bowling at Fat Cats and had dinner at Costa Vida
- Spontaneous shopping night with my mom in Salt Lake and then dinner at Pei Wei
- Temple night with the Parcells then dinner at Milagros afterward
- My first night at my new Bunco group. It's so much fun to meet new friends and socialize, and eat yummy food
- Oakley had her baby girl, Scarlett! I went to the hospital to visit her the day after she was born. Darling babe!
