BEST NEWS EVER!

Casey got the day program job!!! For as long as I've known Casey he has had a night positon at Heritage, which meant he worked until 10:30 every monday, tuesday and thursday night - and- he had to get up and be there by 6:30. As you can imagine that SUCKS. He recently applied and got position to be a day program couselor... his hours are now 6:45-2:45. WE HAVE NIGHTS NOW! I will actually see my husband during the week!! We can do so many of the things that we want to but couldn't before. Heck, we are actually going to have dinner together know so I'm going to have to learn how to cook! We can play sports, we can do things with family, we can see our friends... poeple don't have to schedule thier lives around us as much. Wow. I am so happy right now.

p.s. I am very proud of Casey for getting it. There were quite a few poeple who applied for it and were as qualified for the job. Casey, being as awesome as he is, GOT IT!

Park City Girls Night

Park City. Six Girls. Condo. Pizza. Chocolate. What more could a girl ask for? Last friday night, the night Casey left to go to San Diego with his friends to watch football, a bunch of us girls took off to party in Park City. We had so much fun. The first thing we did when we got there was hit up a Pizza place on main street. Hayley had been there before and it was the perfect place. Then we walked around main strett... couldn't resist filling up on chocolate and looking around really cool bookstores. Then we went to the church's Family Tree Center. Hayley and I tried to figure out exaclty how we are related... not so much luck. Next time we'll go back with a few names and dates. We went back to the condo and all our plans of venturing to the grocery store for junk food and loud music kinda disappeared as we got into discussion. If there's one thing we do well, it's talk. After a good 5 hours of that, we decided to fall asleep.

The next day we got up and Hayley make her famous (i think because they are so freaking good they should be famous) waffles and homemade syrup. We also had hashbrows, apples, and bacon. Good hearty breakfast for a day of shopping. We hit up some garage sales, TJ max and the outlets. I would say it was a very successful trip. Then we went to see "Where the wild things are." Not exactly my kind of movie, but the other girls seemed to like it. I would have to say it was an AWESOME trip. Thanks, girls!

Nate and Veronica Parkinson

About a year ago, I had one married friend and no sight for any others. Now they are dropping like flies!! Nate and Veronica got married on August 15, 2009 in the Salt Lake City temple. I am very excited for Nate and V, they looked so happy! It was really fun to be there. Casey and I got married just a couple months ago in a room just down the hall from where nate and v got married. Being there and being reminded of our wedding day was really fun.


We caught Veronica for like 30 seconds in between family pictures and got one with her ;)Decorating her car was fun. We didn't torture her with oreo's and silly string like they did the poor acura.

Right before she was about to leave for the honeymoon!

I am an aunt again today! Martin and Colleen had another boy this morning. They haven't named him yet, so we are all just sitting tight, waiting for Martin to tell us his name.

Funny thing is Martin called me last night and tried to make me believe they had already had thier kid last week and named him Billy Bob Godfrey. I didn't buy it.

I'm very happy for you Martin and Colleen, Congrats!! I can't wait to see him :)

My mom e-mailed this to me. I liked it.


This is from an article in the St. Petersburg Times Newspaper on Sunday.

The Business Section asked readers for ideas on "How Would You Fix the Economy?" I think this guy nailed it!

Dear Mr. President,
Please find below my suggestion for fixing America 's economy. Instead of giving billions of dollars to companies that will squander the money on lavish parties and unearned bonuses, use the following plan. You can call it the Patriotic Retirement Plan:

There are about 40 million people over 50 in the work force. - Pay them $1 million apiece severance for early retirement with the following stipulations:
1) They MUST retire. Forty million job openings - Unemployment fixed.
2) They MUST buy a new American CAR Forty million cars ordered - Auto Industry fixed.
3) They MUST either buy a house or pay off their mortgage - Housing Crisis fixed. It can't get any easier than that!

P.S If more money is needed, have all members in Congress and their Constituents pay their taxes...If you think this would work, please forward to everyone you know. If not, please disregard.

Casey and I met on May 5, 2008. I was headguarding at American Fork fitness center and Casey was working for the city. Everyone that worked for the city had to come help take down the bubble at the pool. Thus, Bubble day.

Our first date was okay... he took me to boondocks and showed me his mini-golfing skills. Our second date, however, is what did it for me. We were just feeding the horses when I looked over at him and to my surprise fell for him.

We were married on May 1, 2009. We got married in the Salt Lake City temple and had a luncheon and reception right by my parents house in Cedar Hills. Right now we live in Provo, Ut; a five minutes walk to work and a five minute bike ride to school. A part of a house has been sectioned off and turned into an apartment. It's just big enough to fit our bed and a couch. If you ask Casey he'll tell you he can get from the bed to the fridge and then to the bathroom in less than six steps. We absolutely love it.

Casey and I are loving being married. I try to cherish every minute of it. We both love our families very much, and they mean more to us than anything. We love life and are excited for what lies ahead.
