Park City

A few weekends ago, we went to Park City for Sundance. I'll be honest- it was RIDICULOUSLY cold and we didn't walk around much. But we did go out for a yummy dinner and had great company while up there!

Our all time favorite place to eat is Baja Cantina-

Its the YUMMIEST mexican food EVER!!!

- Late Night Sillys-

Ryans family has a condo on Park City resort, but no one goes up there much so whenever we go we always find the most out dated random things. This time, the boys found these fabulous robes to wear out to the hot tub-
We insisted we got a picture of them before leaving :)

{.LOVE.}

Yes- I am officially in love with Elizabeth Kimberly Design.
She is one of my professors at school,
and one of the most
AMAZING
things around.
Some of my favs:

I think I need both of these creations in my house

Happiness

As much as I hate early morning classes, late nights at school, rushing to SLC on my lunches, only feeling married on the weekends, missing American Idol and the Bachelor and ridiculously large projects everyweek...

I am so happy right now. I have been thinking long and hard lately about how I can be succsesful doing what I love, and I stumbled across this quote-

Success is not the key to happiness. Happiness is the key to success. If you love what you are doing, you will be successful.

-Herman Cain

Love It.

-Holidays Update-

We're HOME!!!! I didn't think I'd be as happy to say it- but I am... My bed has never felt so good!! :) However-- we did have the TIME OF OUR LIVES in Florida over the holidays!!! Ryan's parents have been building a house there for about a year, so they flew us down to see what they've been up to and show us around. Be prepared for LOTS of pictures- I'll just explain as we go...

We spent lots of time just laying out and hanging at the beach....
Ry and his brother Tyson hanging out at the beach-

The 3 of us drove up to Orlando for a few days and explored at the fun parks up there-

Universal Studios...

One of the rides- and my neck is still killing :)

It was ALL decorated for Christmas and looked SO cute!!! I secretly wish I was a little kid again :)

We took the boat out on the ocean and his parents took us on tours showing us all around..

The beautiful house his parents are building right off the ocean...

For christmas, Ryan got tickets for all of us to go to a few major sporting events while we were there- Miami Heat game was one of them...

We got to ride around in his parents awesome cars-

I keep telling Ryan "one day" haha

For New Years eve we went to down town Ft. Lauderdale where they shut down the whole main city and do a huge block party with a big ball drop at midnight- you can see the big ball in the picture below...

Ry me and Ty on New Years...

Another one of the games Ry got tickets to was the Dolphins vs. Steelers game- It was my first NFL game and it was such a blast!!!

FREEZING!!!! but- still fun! :)

Okay- there was this CRAZY lady who sat in front of us. She was the drunkest person I've ever seen in my life. lol She would turn around and dance for us and scream horrible things to the other fans hahah Fourth quarter comes around, she turns around and we notice that she had full on PEED her pants. WTF- RIGHT?! a grown woman who can't controll herself haha We tried to snap a pic that showed it, but you cant really tell- dang!

Us at the game...

We went a few hours early to tailgate with a bunch of his parents friends...

I think thats about it for now :) We honestly had such a good time-and cant wait to go back!!! Now its back to work and school!!

It's a long one....

wow- it has been FOREVER since I've been on this thing. As always- our lives have been insane... and busy as ever. I have started a new position at my job- which has caused me to have to work more, much more. Ry has been plugging along with his last semester of school- which he finishes on WEDNESDAY!! I'm so proud of him!!! I finished my second to last semester of school a few weeks back, which just about killed me. We've been traveling quite a bit (which I have been absolutely horrible at remembering to take pictures) And then with the holidays, we've been spending much needed time with our families-nothing better!! :)

With the hustle and bustle of the holidays, I have really tried to stop and think about my life and all of the things that I am blessed with and so very grateful for. My family. My job. A warm house to come home to every day. True friends. A warm bed to sleep in everynight. A husband that loves me-and shows me every single day. The gospel. Yummy food. Ry's job. An education....The list could go on and on. I honestly am such a blessed girl.

During this season, I am especially grateful for my friends and family. We have had a few experiences the past few weeks that have been real eye openers as to who our true friends really are. It makes me sincerely sad for those who choose to be mean people and not live life as its meant to be. I'm so lucky that I have Ryan in my life to make me smile and forget about all of those silly people. He is more than I could have ever imagined.

Here are a few pictures to updates you on what we've been up to the past few months!!!

The Big TWO ONE!! :)

Ry and some of my adorable friends threw me a little surprise party the night we came home from St. George for Thanksgiving. Thanks girlies!! I love you!!

(more b-day celebrations)

Ryan and the cousins playing in the warm AZ weather!!

We went to AZ this weekend to take care of a few things for Ry's mom.. While there we got to visit some family, we had such a good time!!

Dinner with friends!

Sweet Ry and Rubie resting after a yummy Thanksgiving dinner!!

(i am in LOVE with this picture!!! Can't wait till its my little baby "B",as my mom calls it, that he's snuggling with)

Another of Ry and Ru- she loves him, just a little bit :)

I think that's about all for now. We're off to FL next week to be with Ryan's family for Christmas and New Years- I'm sure we'll have lots to update when we return.

Until then, we hope that you all have the most fabulous Christmas and New Years.

Love you all!! XOXO

-October Ends-

This fall has been so much fun already!! Full of family, friends, school, holidays and football :) On Friday, we went to the season opener for the Jazz and had such a blast. For Halloween we went to my brothers football game (which by the way-they won!! Go ALTA!!) the Utes blackout game, to dinner and then off to some spooky sites around Salt Lake...Here are a few pictures of our fabulous weekend!!!
