My New Dog Susie!

So for the last maybe week or so I have been looking a different dogs trying to decide if I should get one or not and yesterday we found the cutest dog on KSL.com. She is 6 years old and she is half Yorkie and half Shih Tzu (making her a Shorkie) She is sooo cute! So we drove up to South Jordan yesterday and bought her :) She is probably about 6 lbs and she loves everyone! She loves to snuggle and have her belly and head scratched. She wasn't really scared when she got to her new home and she fits in perfectly. Everyone loves her! Anyways, here are some pics. Enjoy!

First Blog!

Ok so I am obviously new to blogging but I will just give a quick update of recent events. I was selling alarm systems in San Bernardino, CA up until October of 2007 (Thats where Jason and I met) It was alot of fun.. pretty good money.. all in all a good experience! In November, we went on the Firstline Cruise to Mexico. It was sooo much fun! Here are a couple pics from the cruise..

After the cruise, we drove all the way back up to Cedar Hills, UT where we live now. I live in my parents house and Jason is renting a basement room there too! Its really quite the wonderful arrangement :) For now, I am working for LDS Living Magazine as kind of a receptionist/ subscription manager/whatever people tell me to do. Its not bad, but I am excited to start knocking again!

Since there is not much to do in Utah, we often find ourselves playing rock band, watching movies, watching reality TV :), playing at the nickelcade, snowboarding, sledding, eating, and pretty much just hanging out. We are getting ready to move out to Rochester, NY to work for APX Alarm where I will be selling and Jason will be the Lead Tech. My brother Jake is also coming out to be a tech for the summer so it should be really fun!

Thats pretty much what is going on right now in a nutshell. I'm sure there will be more to post later!

♥ Valentines ♥ Day ♥

For Valentines Day, Jason brought me the most amazing roses I have ever seen to my work-and lunch :) . The roses were so beautiful and perfect! (Everyone was jealous!) After work we went to Capelli Salon and I got a much needed trim from Chantal. We went out to dinner at a place we had never been before called Madeline's Steak House in West Jordan. It was so amazing! The food was delicious (best steak I've ever had) and our server was so friendly and quick! Jason couldn't have picked a better place to eat! After dinner we saw Definitely, Maybe. It was really cute, really funny, and quite long. But it was good. In general is was a lovely Valentines Day. Love you pooky!

Sledding!

So this winter, it was really snowy at our house. My dad and sister Miranda had made this huge sledding hill that started in our neighbors front yard (we had permission!) and curved down to the bottom of our backyard! It looked like alot of fun, so Jason and I decided to take a couple runs! It was a blast!

Phantom The Las Vegas Spectacular

For Christmas, Jason gave me 2 tickets to see Phantom The Vegas Spectacular [one for me and one for him :)] It was the best Christmas present ever.. I LOVE Phantom! So the first weekend in January we took a road trip down to St George and then on to Vegas. We got to St George Saturday afternoon and I got ready SO FAST in an effort to make it to my friend Cara's wedding. But...we didn't make it quite in time. We kinda watched/listened to the ceremony from outside and went in for the reception and food! It was a beautiful wedding! And I did get to see a bunch of my former Target coworkers so it was cool. We left the wedding and headed for Vegas! The show was at the Venetian Hotel where they constructed a theater just for Phantom. It was amazing! We had really good seats towards the back of the front section in the middle - right under the chandellier. It was so awesome. All of the effects and everything were soo cool. The show was beyond what I expected... I still can't get over how amazing it was. I definitely like the live performance better than the movie. It was a perfect Christmas present! Jason actually enjoyed it alot more than he thought he would too :) We definitely want to see it again sometime. Sooo.. we left Vegas and drove back up to St George at like 1 am. I left poor Jason alone for part of the drive though because I kept falling asleep! Sorry J! Either way, we made it back to St. George, woke up Sunday morning, and came back up north! It was a spectacular weekend and a perfect gift. Thanks Pooky!! I know my jacket doesn't match the dress but it was COLD!
