Lately

So a lot has been going on lately so I thought I would fill you all in :)

Ben and I worked together at Sprint, I was manager. I loved it but had another job opportunity at Rise. Rise is an organization that support children and adults with a wide range of disabilities. Most of them are minor. All of these kids have quite the past. They grew up in horrible environments, and are now in foster care. Each has a unique situation and I feel blessed to be apart of their lives, and to work there. I am a Resource Specialist and Administrative Assistant. I wish I could tell you exactly what my job description is, but it is so much! I don't work directly with our kids, I am the office part of it. I am a administrative assistant for their social works, I do payroll for our employee's, I help with employment like trainings and applications, I handle files, ETC. haha I would go it on but you would have no idea what I am talking about! It is BUSY, and I am still trying to learn stuff but I am getting the hang of it. I love it so far look forward to making more friends and having a good time.

Ben is still working at Sprint and is now manager. He likes it. He is training people right now, which I think is fun for him. He recently got a raise and some other awesome things. We love the owner. He is a very laid back, fun guy. I like those kind of bosses cause you still do the things you need to do but also have fun. They are opening up another in the mall, which is exciting! He is starting school like in a couple of days! Werrrrid? Yes. It is good for him to get back. I am all set to start school in the Fall.

Oh guess WHAT!!!! We are getting a Honda Element! Yes, I said a Honda Element. They are my FAVORITE cars EVER. And I am getting one in September. :)

I have been trying to lose weight and so far I have lost 7 pounds. And on my way to lose much more :) I am thinking about doing weight watchers with a friend from work. I have heard a lot of good things about that program so I may or may not try it!

So this is random but I love it. Lately ben and I have started staying up till midnight every Sunday night and then going to get diet cokes! And maybe some Mcdonalds fries…. sometimes ;) I have the hardest time staying up and sometimes I will fall asleep at like 10 and ben will wake me up at 12, gotta keep tradition!

So in small words that is what has been going on lately. :)

I had the best day with you, today. -T Swift

This past year has been really rough for me. I am grateful for my awesome hubby. What would I do without him? I wanna take a moment to list the reasons why I love this man.

He is so full of energy! He can literally go non stop, he keeps me young!

He will randomly break out in song, the songs he makes up. The best is he trys to rhyme, but doesn't at all, which makes it so much funnier.

He doesn't care about what anybody thinks of him. He is who he is and if people don't like him then whatever.

He is a big family person. He loves his family dearly and is always wanting to spend time with them.

He will drop anything for anyone, especially the ones he loves and help them in any way he can.

He is a dreamer. He has ALOT of dreams and is very optimistic about them.

He has a big heart. The sweetest person I have ever met.

He loves the outdoors, and being active in that way.

Is patient with me with alll my mood swings!

He will never give up on a person.

He has a strong testimony of the gospel.

He probably is the silliest person I have ever met! Seriously.

And many many more.

We have been married for almost 9 months and we grow closer as time goes by. Cant wait until September 18th!!!!

Friends and Fun

This past week was way fun! We had visitors from Arizona (which happens to be my favorite place in the world). Anyways, Spencer was here in Utah working so Ben and I met up with him and his friend Paul. We hung out at our apartment and went to see the Fast Five movie. It was good to see him. We had fun catching up!

Faith and Jared came into town a couple days later. It was a lot of fun to see them. Faith is my Aunt (that is 22 years old) so technically that is her title but I see her more as a sister or cousin! They have a son named Lewis. He is the cutest! We had so much fun when they were here. We went out to dinner, went shopping, hung out at our apartment, and went to the Bee's game. Then it was back to reality of working and blah blah blah. But we love it! Sorry no pictures, I took a ton but I cant find the cord to put them on the computer…

Ok so this is my first time attempting to do any sort of blogging. We will see how this goes..

Ben and I went out on our weekly date last night. We do different things on our date nights but a lot of the time it is dinner and a movie, you know the usual. Which is fine, we love it because we are together and we have fun, but since recent events we need to start being creative and less money spending :) Since we only have 1 car we decided we would get Ben a scooter for the spring and summer to ride to work and school. Well, we have turned out to love that little thing! This may sound lame but it is SO fun to ride on that thing, especially together. Ben is starting school this month and since we are paying for books and tuition up front we have to be extra froogle (which can be a challenging concept) :) so we are hardly eating out anymore and taking necessary cuts out of our spending. Anyways, yesterday we decided we would ride the scoot scoot to the Sugarhouse park. We brought bread to fed the ducks and seagulls, which I haven't done since I was younger. It was such a fun date! We walked around the park, fed the ducks and seagulls, laughed hard, made jokes. etc. We got back on the scooter and headed to down town Sugarhouse and got some cheap dinner and then walked around a little bit more. It's been busy lately so it was so nice to spend time together without any of the craziness around us. Yay for love!
