Be of Good Cheer

Sometimes I just need a little reminder... (thanks for the little nudge Lois! I will continue to drive down for your lessons as long as you teach)

I have not had many nice things to say about 2009 so far and it has been really bringing me down. I needed a little pick me up I think and I finally got that. It's really easy sometimes when things dont go your way to feel like you are being picked on, I have described it has being in a hole and having rocks thrown at you while you try to climb out (I think that was a bit of an exageration). When that happens, its amazing how hard my Father in Heaven tries to remind me of all the good in my life. Have you ever seen Bruce Almighty? When he is driving down the road asking God for signs and the truck full of road signs pulls in front of him.... he drives right by and doesnt get it. Thats what I feel like I have been doing. Ignoring all the good and only looking at the hard stuff. Bad idea. Doesnt do good things for me... gives me wrinkles.

And so... instead of the negative from the year I am gonna point out the awesomness of 2009...

1. Amazing trip to Park City with the fam
2. Lots of flowers from my hubby
3. Playing with my neices/nephew
4. 2 new neice/nephews on the way this year
5. Being able to try IVF (yes it failed but it was a real blessing to be able to even try)
6. HAWAII
7. Blackey (the new family boat) joining the family
8. Finishing the semester
9. new gym pass (ready to get my butt in shape!)
10. wakeboarding
11. LASIK
12. Spending time with my hubby
13. Fun trip to SG with the friends
14. New dresser and shoe organizer in my room (dont laugh, I really am very excited about that!)
15. Knock off designer jeans from some girl in China (Thanks for the tip Gretchen!)

We'll start with that.

I'm sure there will be more good to come this year. I will keep you all posted :)

Thanks to my hubby, family, friends, co-workers, or anyone else that put up with my stressed out, grumpy little face lately. No more of that!

Sneak Peek...

I think I am in love with these pics.  Such a fun location, such great colors and textures, such pretty models.  Love um....  many many more to come...

P.S.  ok photographer friends (Mikki, Cara are you reading this?)  How do I get that dang lense flare off the bottom picture?  I kinda like the way it looks, but I wanna take it off and see if it makes the picture better...  I have been trying all day and cant make it work.

Home sweet home...

Last weekend was our long awaited trip to St. George. It was so nice to go and escape the stress of work and school and just soak up some fun and sun.

Thanks so much to all of our awesome friends that came and made the trip so fun and entertaining and thanks to our families for feeding us AMAZING food and showing us such a good time!

Here's a few pics of the trip. I didn't have my camera as often as I planned but I got a few fun ones.

Gotta have a little IN-N-OUT

Some pretty intense cards... (I fell asleep during most of that... always the party pooper)

Lunch with the girls (look how cute they are!) at Twentyfive Main.... Mmmmmm cupcakes

LOTS of swim and sun... (Bree cracks me up in this picture... she kept throwing this floaty in the pool and she thought she was sooooo funny... what an evil little laugh just like her Daddy!)

Macey and Michelle

Monique and Haven

And CUTE CUTE little kidlets! Seriously everyone's kids were so so good and fun and adorable. Loved it.

Macey... always smiling, always cute

ST GEORGE PEOPLE

Ok my St. George blog followers... I have 2 tickets to see Brian Regan at Tuachan on Thursday night this week. He is a really funny, pretty clean comedian and his show has been sold out for a month!
