Family fun

Today we got to go visit Tylers grandma Griffith who lives in downtown Salt Lake. AFter being in California for whole summer we hadn't seen her in quite a while and really felt like it was time for a visit. She is the cutest little lady and still seems completely all there at age 92! She looked so cute I decided to take a picture of her and Tyler.

Two weeks ago we took the trip to Idaho after not seeing my family for a while either. It was so fun to see them and see my cute house in the summer. Everytime I go there I wonder if it will be one of the last times because it is for sale, but I will be so sad when they move! While we there we went and floated the Saint Anthony river to the Sand Bar. It was fun but FREEZing cold! I was picturing this nice relaxing float but it was anything but that. My mom wanted me to share a tube with Abby because we werent sure how deep it was. At times it was a struggle to paddle with two people on but it was a pretty day and turned out being really fun. I have missed them so much!



I had to put this picture of Tyler and Abby up. First of all I like it because Tyler was wearing someone's pink slippers he found laying around. Sometimes I feel bad for him because its always just girls at our house and I would think it'd get kind of annoying. LUCKY for him, he has always got little Abba attached to his side. Abby is on cloud nine when she gets to be by Tyler. They started playing this game on the wii and wouldve played all night long if she was able to. At church on Sunday she sat down on the end on the other side of Tyler and had this huge smile on her face the whole time. She loves having Tyler in the family!!

I never thought I'd say this....

I miss school. I miss having two classes a day and sleeping in and staying up and having a fun social life! It is wierd to be done and working an 8-5 job. Not that I am lazy but I've got a real adjustment ahead of me!

Lets just say after my first day of work I feel like Dupree on "You me and Dupree" in his interview. My new boss was going through vacation days and I was thinking well what about Valentines? What about the Chinese new year? ahh... and thinking "Could I come at 9 or maybe 10?" I was looking around me wondering how people looked so happy in the mornings. I have never understood the whole getting up bright and early while still being full of energy. I felt like I was the only one walking around half asleep and yawning throughout the day. I only hope it gets easier!!


I havent even said where I work yet. It is calling Sizzling Platter and its in Salt Lake, it is accounting for Little Caesars, Sizzler and Red Robin's. I went in for the interview Tuesday and already started today! It is a pretty good job and it is good experience for my Accounting degree. I think I will like it once I know what Im doing... My first day I already got some coupons from little caesars so I cant complain!

Boating!!

We had barely found an apartment and just moved in when Tylers' Aunt Karen asked us if we wanted to go boating with them on Saturday. Of course with all the other stuff going on we still could not say no! We met up with Ryan and Ali and Justin, as well as Karen and Ron at Utah Lake for a great day on the lake.

I could not imagine how sore we were going to be after but it was well worth it. Thanks Karen and Ron for taking us!

Vegas!

We left California (it was sad to leave) last week and were not looking forward to the drive back to Utah, so we decided to take a much needed break in Vegas on the way back. It was so nice to relax and take our mind of things. (We were also just trying to delay going back to normal life as much as possible.) Tyler was pretty stressed out at the end of the summer from his job so I made my goal of the trip to have it be stress free! We stayed at the Circus Circus one night and at the MGM Grand on the other night.

For the most part we just hung out at the pool and relaxed but one night we did go to the Stratosphere and ride the ride on the very top. I dont know why but the past couple years I have become a huge chicken and I seem to be scared of everything! I almost didnt go but I didnt want Tyler to have to ride it alone. It pushed you out over the edge and spun you around so you thought you would fly off.

We had so much fun and really didnt want to leave! (This is us on top of the Stratosphere. )
Sorry I havent updated our blog in so long but we have been getting settled. The lonng process of moving and setting everything up, and the internet guy just finally came today. So we should be able to keep up with things alot better! We moved into an apartment in West Jordan and hope to see all our friends and family soon!
