Busy Summer Times

I've been slacking. Ben and I don't have internet at our apartment anymore since our bill jumped up $25 more dollars a months and we ditched it.

This summer has been SO busy!! Ben and I are both taking a summer class which ends next week! Thank goodness!!! It has been killing me. Also, I got a job at the Sports Authority so that has been taking away any free time that I have in between studying......one more week!

In between all the busyness, we have found some time for small fun projects (I guess not so small).
First, we sanded down our table, the one that my parents gave to us. I thought it looked pretty good until one of our friends came over and asked, "oh good, you're going for the trailer house look!" So now I am second guessing our newly furnished table. Oh well, it works for me.

I'm SORRY!!!

I am terrible at April Fools jokes, or apparently I am TOO good at April fools jokes, but I am going to refrain from ever doing another April fools joke again since I feel so bad. To all of those that believed my very unkind joke, I am sorry. Whitney, I heard that you put together a gift basket and was going to send it down with Andrew and Tyler.....I'm so sorry!!! Thank you for the thought though, that was so nice of you! As pay back, when we really do get pregnant you don't have to ever give us anything, well you wouldn't have to anyway but you really shouldn't just because we are so mean.

The past two days I have been at the Utah Dietetics Association annual conference in SLC. Cache and Hailey let me crash at their house so that it was only a small drive each morning. I had a lot of fun with them, it's always nice seeing them since I hardly ever get to.
I had to present my undergraduate research and poster to several hundred people. There were several judges analyzed all of the posters (around 30 total from the U, USU, BYU, and SUU) which made me really nervous. Afterwards there was an awards luncheon at which they announce that I won the best research poster for the year and recieved a $100 check, that was exciting. It was also really nice because is set me up to meet the head director at the U who decides who is accepted into the Master's program there (which is the program I want to go to when I am done at SUU). The director told me to be sure to send a resume his way and said he looks forward to seeing me again in the near future. He also contacted my instructor and told him to be sure to get me to apply at the U. Yay! Guess we'll just see what happens.

My Eggo Is Prego!!!

So I have some exciting, scary, stressful, but happy news.......I am pregnant! Ben and I have been talking about getting pregnant since we are both graduating in 4 weeks, but we didn't expect it to happen so soon! I am a little freaked out, actually a lot freaked out, but also very excited. My first doctor appointment is in 3 weeks. Until then I don't really know what to do! Can I still work-out like I have been? I mean, I know they say to keep working out just don't do vigorous exercise, but this is all so very new to me. I can't wait to get some answers from the doctor. Mom has been helping me out a lot, with all of her experience she has been able to calm me down. Anyway, I gotta go to class. My picture uploader is taking forever so I'll have to post the picture of our pink positive pee stick later!

Love you all!!!

Happy Birthday to Whitney Also!!!

I feel awful! I failed to mention yesterday was also my dear sister-in-law Whitney's birthday!!! Sorry this is a day late Whit but we do love you and have not forgotten! The first time i met Whitney was just a few days before Ben and I were to be wed (now there's some cheesy writing for ya...wed! ha nice.. okay back to the purpose of this blog). She was staying with some friends in Sandy? and Ben and I drove up there so that we could meet. I was surprised by how nice and accepting she was to me right away. She gave me a great big grin and hugged me immediately, I immediately felt comfortable around her. Thanks for your love and friendship Whit, you're awesome!
Sorry for no pictures, we don't have any on this new laptop.
Anyway, HAPPY BIRTHDAY WHITNEY!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CACHE

Yesterday was my dear brother Cache's birthday and since I was unable to get a hold of him yesterday to wish him a happy birthday and ended up singing to his answering machine, I thought I would just pay him a little tribute on this hear blogging network. Oh and since he probably never looks at these blogs, Hailey, you can drag his skinny butt over to the computer. HAPPY BIRTHDAY CACHE!!! I love you!

Love SPRING BREAK!!!

Lots has happened in the last couple of weeks. Two or so weeks ago I played in an indoor futsol tournament; it was fun to see all the girls and play a little soccer again.



This past week was Spring Break. Ben and I drove down to Vegas with some friends, Zach and Tarah, and staid the week at a town home that Zach's parents own just about 10 minutes from the strip. We has SO much fun!!
















We went to Red Rock Canyon and hiked around for a day.




























Went to a semi-pro Hockey game.


























Did some laying out and swimming, of course! Ben made nice with some of the guys at the pool and they decided to race across the pool and back, Ben won. As you can see in the picture below he had a large lead. Woo Woo!

















Saw the Blue Man Group! They were awesome. Cool thing about it was that we got a student discount which dropped the price to $32 instead of the guy sitting next to us who paid $110! Nice!

Long Week

This week has been a long one for both Sutton and myself. Lots of meetings and classes and late night projects. I had my interview last week with D.A. Davidson and it went well. It turned out that the manager who interviewed me knew one of my professors very well and that professor and I have a good relationship so it was a great thing. I'll find out in March if I get the internship. Other than that things are really clicking. Lots of excitement to be had.
