Well this past friday was my 24th birthday and I must say it was probably the best birthday I have had together with Ted. He did an amazing job! I had to work all day that day so when I woke at 5am and came down stairs a cute Happy Birthday Banner was there along with 2 dozen white Roses and one of my presents! He spoiled me rotten this year! My mom and dad also sent me this goregous boquet that was sitting on my door step before I left for work. It was the best way to start off my birthday except for haivng to go to work! Its a good thing I work with some amazing people that made up the difference! Thanks girls! Anyways so we decided to really celebrate on Saturday by going to be favorite restaurant The Cheesecake Factory! I swear everything I order there is amazing. And ofcourse Ted enjoyed the choice aswell. I got pictures of us both savorying every moment of the chocolate Godiva cheesecake(it is amazing if you have never tried it) Then we headed over to eh movie theater to see Angels and Deamons which was ok I still like the first better but whatever. And to top it all off listen up ladies my amazing hubby got me ballroom dance lessons for my birthday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I know your all saying how did you get him to do that well it comes with lots of hints and pleading. So we are going to our first offical lesson this friday night I can't wait. I just want to say what amazing man I married. He is the love of my life and I don't know where or what I would be without him. You keep me falling in love you more and more each day. You given me the hope and strength I need when when I;m having a bad day. You know when I just need a good hug and a kiss and I love you more today then when we first got married. I love you hun forever and always. Thanks for all the work you do.

Camping in Zions

Well this last weekend we went camping at Zion's National Park with Ted's parents, his brother Kenny--Jane, his wife--(sung to the tune of "the Jetson's"), and his sister Susi and her family. The boys cooked breakfast on Sunday morning for us all  since it was Mother's day. On Saturday, we went on some nice little hikes and enjoyed the very sunny--if not a little too sunny--weather. It was nice but still nothing compared to Yosemite! The two phrases most oft repeated throughout the weekend were calls for the RV and  "Yosemite is better!" Roxy enjoyed the numerous plants and bugs to sniff, and especially loved chasing all the little white fluffs that blew off the trees.  Roxy exhausted herself so much, she has not moved from the couch since we got home! Anyways, thanks to Barbara for planning and cooking all those meals! I know how much work that must have been. 

P.S. Poor Susi and Adam didn't really get to enjoy any of the trip as the twins were sick and it was just a little too crazy for the big group. We are glad we got to at least spend a little time with you guys. Thanks for making the trip even though I know how hard it was for you guys. Hope the girls are getting better. We're still hoping you make it to Yosemite!

Looking forward to spending some quality time with everyone at the real camping spot, Yosemite!

This is Roxy ready to leave Zion's hanging her head out the window!!!!!!!

Happy Mothers Day Mom!

                          My  Mom is on the right if you can't tell we look identical!

For my Mom:

So in honor of mothers day I thought I would post a blog dedicated to my mother. I wasn't able to spend mothers day this year with my wonderful mom so I thought I would share with her and everyone what an amazing mother I have. She is the most caring and loving person I have ever known. She knows how to make a hug make everything better no matter how hard things seem. She is the person I admire and look up to and I hope that I can be as good as a mother to my kids as she has been to me. She is the only person I want to care for me when I'm sick and I wish I lived closer so that she could sometimes! She inspires me everyday to have more hope and faith that everything will work out in life. I heard a quote sometime ago that you don't really understand how much your parents love you and sacrifice for their children until you become a parent yourself. I am so thankful for everything my parents have done for me. I am so truly blessed beyond measure. I have everything I could ever want because I know my parents love me more than I know. Well mom I hope you had a good mothers day and I wish I could be there to give you a big hug and kiss. You are the best mother in the world and my best friend. Love always your little rabbie! (and the best kid!) 

Love always Meg!

Sorry mom this is the only picture on my computer of me and you! We need to take more.

A New Home Decor!

Well, many of you don't know this but I have wanted a black high square kitchen table for about 4 years now and last weekend I finally got it. This was the first kitchen table we actually bought after being married for 4 years. While we lived in the condo we had this old plywood table that had been there for about 10 years and then when we moved to our house we used the table that came with the house which was impossible for entertaining as it had only 2 chairs. Anyways I never thought the day would come so as this may seem stupid to others it's a glorious day for me. I thought I would post a few pics of the new table and I am proud to say I went out and bought all the decorations for the table (or as Ted calls it foufou) for under 15 dollars! Not to mention we got the table for a steal of deal with 25 % off and  a extra 10% off as an add in the paper. So basically it cost us under 200 bucks! I'm always looking for a great deal and I'm quite proud of this one. Who doesn't love a good deal. So here are some pictures to document the amazing find!

Mexican Cruise!

Well we just got back from a beautiful week cruise to the Mexican Riveria. We spent the first 2 days at sea and soaked up the sun. Our first stop was Peurta Vellarta where we went off-road dunebugying!!!!!!! It was so much fun. We road in this little dunebugy down the streets of Mexico while following our tour guide to the off road mountain trails. We crossed a river and got absolutely soaked but I didn't get a picture to capture the adventure. By the time we were back at the boat we were covered in dust mud and dripping wet. People were starring at us like where have you been and what have you done to get that dirty. I wiped my face off with a nice white moist towel they give u as u get back on the boat and it was covered in dirt. It was one of the most fun and dirty things I have ever done. Well worth the adventure. Next was Mazatlan where we did a city tour and shopping( which means meg bartaring with the street vendors something she loves to do! Takes after her dad.) The last stop was Beautiful Cabo San Lucas where we actually went on our honeymoon 3 and a half years ago. The beaches were absolutely gorgeous and we had amazing weather all week. We soaked up as much sun as we could to hopefully last us till we get spring in utah! hopefully thats sooner rather than later. Ofcourse we had two formal diner nights on the boat where we dressed up and ate amazing food. It was a sad day walking off the boat back into reality. I turned to Ted in the taxi ride to airport home and said " Ok whens our next vacation and where?" He just shook his head.

I finally Did it!

Well I finally did it!

Tami would be proud of me because I finally had the courage to die my hair dark! Its almost back to my natural color. I really like it. Its a nice change from constantly highlighting it. Ted didn't even noticed when he came home. I was shocked. He said it was darker but because I didn't change the style he said he didn't notice!(Such a boy anwser) Anyways here are some pics of the new hair and a few of roxy lounging with her dad.

Well for christmas this year Ted and I spent a quiet night at home just the two of us. This was the first year we weren't with our family for christmas. It was a very uneventful christmas morning not having any kids excited and eager to open gifts. I can't wait for the day when we have kids old enough to understand the excitement of christmas morning, I think it makes us all think of christmas when we were young. I cooked my first christmas dinner this year and I think it went pretty well considering I didn't burn anything. In my eyes thats a job well done! After christmas day I worked and then left to go home to Canada for the rest of the holiday without my hubby who couldn't get the time off work. While home I played with the grandkids went shopping and ofcourse the annual family skating day!(which Ted was not sad he missed) Hope you all had a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
