Work

Ken Garff Audi had a competition the day before Christmas, whoever came showing the most Christmas spirit would win a $300 R C Willey gift card, my friend Ruth has been wanting a couch for quite some time and winning would be perfect for her. I don't think i got any work done that day, I keep looking over at her laughing, she won hands down! a few people wore Christmas shirts and one salesman wore a Santa hat. It was so funny. She is such a good sport. Speaking of Ruth & my job... her last day will be Feb 6th, I'm really sad she is going, but really jealous too! She has been such a good friend, we talk thru our little cubicles all day long. But we have both wanted a new job for a long time. I just applied for the perfect job the other day, its with Orem City in accounting, it'd be 5 hours a day and I'd make as much as i do now! I need a change so bad, my current job is just draggin me down. This job sounds awesome, it's work I like to do and the pay is right. I really hope and pray I get it! Or even if its not that one, that I can find one soon before I drive Austin insane. Poor guy has to put up with me when I get home & I'm in my bad moods, he's such a good husband, he always takes such good care of me. Any way I really hope Ruth finds an awesome new job in Lehi! One that doesn't suck so bad! We decided we are going to do a 5K together in the summer! I am really excited to do it! I better start running!

Presents

This picture didn't turn out very well, of course my battery was dying Christmas morning so i didn't get many pictures and the ones i did get i had to take really fast before it shut down.

I was so excited to give Austin his present, I almost spilled the beans before I was so excited. I need to learn how to keep secrets better. I've been refusing to buy an xbox for months and months, so when i gave it to him it was a big surprise. Now I just need to learn how to get him to stop playing the xbox!

Darren, Celeste and their kids gave Marley a present! it was really cute. she even opened it herself! yummy dogie treats

Our first Christmas

I know I am late posting these, but better late then never right? We had such a fun Christmas! we spent the night at Austin's parents, the Parks have such fun traditions. I loved every minute of it, all my nieces and nephews are so darn cute! they did the nativity scene. So cute

Addy looked so cute pregnant!

This makes my stomach hurt laughing so hard! they put wigs on Weston & Susie, they looked sooo cute!

he was so proud! he was strutting his stuff!

Santa came to visit too! it was so fun to see the kids get so excited!

Some of the kids didn't like Santa though! ha ha it was so cute & sad at the same time, poor little guy.

so typical..

yes, i'm the mom. I'm ALWAYS the mom. I have the "mom" job, i worry way more then i should and i remember being told--more then once--you're not my mom, leave me alone kinda thing when i was still in high school!

Holidays

I'm so excited for Christmas this year, our first Christmas married! Austin is a good little decorator. Honestly, it kind of makes me frustrated, he's WAY better then I am! isn't it the wife that is supposed to be all crafty and make everything all cute? I just don't have that skill. He decorated our tree all by himself, he did awesome. He did the mantel too! all we have to get is some stockings to hang and it'll be all complete! Oh and some snow on the ground so we can use our fireplace!!

our baby

I know I'm way slow posting, better late then never though?

Marley was a pumpkin for Halloween. it was adorable

here she is helping my dad work, riding around in the dump truck. we had our "date night" on Monday, I always have so much fun with Auz, no matter what we do. Austin's new job gives him tons of free things, we got a gift certificate to Brick Oven, very yummy! we found this balloon there so Austin grabbed it and took it home to Marley, he tied it to her tail, it was hilarious. She didn't know what to do! it took like 2 minutes and she popped it. We also saw "Australia" on our date, it was actually really good! a bit long but still really good. I like old western like movies though. Austin is currently gone to Vernal to help his brother build his house, Marley is here with me to keep me company, I have lots of fun with her in the mornings, but by this time at night i'm about ready to pull my hair out! she is still a puppy and likes to push the line... if Austin was here she would be listening much better, but for me, not so much. We have worked really hard to teach her to stay on the tile and not to come on the carpet. When Austin is gone, I think she realizes i'm kind of on edge and she wants to be with me, especially if i'm on the carpet. I have a nice barrier of our kitchen chairs trying to keep her out of the front room. it still isn't helping much. She's adorable and very much worth it, just LOTS of work.

Moral of my story: life just flows MUCH easier if Austin is here!

girls night
