The "Offical" Floorplans

WE'RE BUILDING!!!

Sooooo...Tim and I have looked at soooo many houses and I admit there were many that I liked, but then we had this amazing opportunity come to us. We are building a brand new house in Spanish Fork! Its about 15 minutes away from Orem so we have a little bit of a commute, but we are getting a brand new 1300 sq ft house with a garage and a big yard! And we will have a huge basement that we will be able to finish in a few years. Once the basement is finished our house will be a total of 2600 sq ft...All this for $214,000!!! We couldn't believe it! We saw some houses for about that same price and there were like 10 years old and had no garage! So we're very very excited about it! Here's our floor plan for the main level:
We haven't signed any papers yet, but we hopefully will be soon! I can't wait. I promise I will get a camera and take pictures of the progress once the building begins! It should take about 75 days to get the house built once all the paperwork goes through. SO hopefully we'll be in a brand new house by my birthday!!! SWEET! Love you all!

:( :( :(

So.....my house got taken off the market...I'm kinda bummed. I guess they decided to rent it to a family member who needed a place to stay......BUT!!!! We found another one haha. There honestly are sooooo many houses for sale in Utah County. It's super nice and its in Pleasant Grove which is about 5-10 min. away from where we live right now. Its really cute and we're going to take a tour of it tomorrow morning! YAY!

If you want to check out the house heres a website :)

SO not much else really has been going on. We've just been working and looking at houses and stuff. Tim is starting school in May so that should be really exciting. He's still planning on going into chiropractic which is hard because then we will have to move out of the state in about 4-5 years. We're not really looking forward to that, but it should be alright.

....Yep....I'm Here :)

Wow...I can't believe its almost been a month since I've last posted. I almost pulled a MOM...sorry guys........so a LOT has been going on lately. I got a NEW JOB! And it is absolutely fantastic. I can't even believe how lucky I was to nail this. K here's the scoop....its at a salon/day spa in Orem. Its ohhh about 1/2 mile..maybe..away from my apartment. Its called Seasons salon and day spa. I work about 22-28 hours a week and she (my boss Autumn) pays about 47% commission..thats just starting out..it moves up to 52%...and the cheapest massage there is $45!!! Yeah awesome..and on top of that I keep my tips..which today I worked for 4 hours did 3 massages and made $50 in tips.....AMAZING! Its totally a blessing and is exactly what I have been praying for. If you want to check out the spa the website is....

Ok now awesome thing #2

Tim is getting a new job also! His dad Mike works for Sprint and kind of put in a good word for him. The store in American Fork is hiring. Tim has gone and spoken to the manager there and he is VERY interested in having Tim work for them. Its such an amazing job and if he lands it we will be set! He will be paid salary and they start at $25,000 a year...and on top of that he has the opportunity to make an extra $5,000 commission. We are praying so hard that he will be able to get this job. It would be absolutely amazing! They offer insurance and up to $5,000 a year tuition reimbusment which is incredible! Tim is starting school in May so if we were able to get this life would be GOOD!

Ok.......awesome thing #3

Tim and I are getting a HOUSE! BLAH! Yeah things are kind of moving at a fast pace for us (don't worry...not that fast...no babies :) yet......) We sat down and figured out how much we would be making with my new job and him still at Sizzler. We already pay close to $900 a month just on rent..and we have plenty to spare that could transfer over to a house payment. We have been talking to a lender and they have figured that if we got a house for around $200,000 our payments would be just over $1100. We're pretty excited about everything and are keeping our fingers crossed that it will all work out. This is a picture of the house we will probably be getting!!!! YAY!!!!!



Well I love you all and am missing everyone like crazy! I hope to see everyone soon cuz I miss you all! LOVE YOU

Mi Familia

This is my family. We all are pretty good looking. I think we did pretty good considering I was the photographer, and we took it in our living room. We decided that we're all a bunch of whities and probably needed some sun...but hey it was the end of December so who cares right! Love yall ;)

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Merry Christmas Everyone! I hope everyone had as amazing of a Christmas as I did. There was a lot of traveling involved. Tim and I spent Christmas Eve evening with his extended family. We then drove to Nephi and spent Christmas Eve night and Christmas morning with my family! Then we drove back up to Orem and opened presents with his family..then!!! We drove to Sandy and hung out with his Dad Mike. Then!!!! After a 2 hour nap we drove back down to Nephi to stay the night again and all day tomorrow with the Ellison family. Its been such a great time. There is nothing better than having us all together again..even with a few extra people in the bunch (Jason, Luke, Tim)...its pretty great!

Tim and I were pretty exhausted partly because we drove all over the state of Utah today...and also because my family likes to roll out of bed nice and early at 7 am and start opening presents!!! HAHA isn't that ridiculous! We're all so old and I still can't sleep in on Christmas morning! LOL...yeah Charlie and I were the first ones up bright and early just hanging out in the living room waiting for everyone else to get up and come join us. The best part is that Tim's family waited until we got there around 1:30 to start opening their presents!! HAHA I don't think we could have waited that long! Its really interesting to see how differently our families interact with each other..and it honestly makes me so grateful that I was born into the family that I was, and that I was lucky enough to marry into the family that I did!

I love everyone and hope you all had a wonderful Christmas!!!

*Book Discussion*

So Tim and I got this little book from someone as a wedding gift...enjoy :D

Paint Box-A Colorful Romance
Debbie Tomassi

Her paint box was full of many colors, the brightest of hues. She brought the box with her everywhere she went and used it to color her world. She splashed her colors freely and with broad strokes. She painted the sky with rainbows. She painted yellow sunflowers and vivid blue oceans. She surrounded herself in passionate reds. She spoke with intense hues that swirled around her head in a vibrant spectrum. Her paints tumbled through the air like bright autumn leaves and whirled to the ground in a colorful symphony. And at the end of the day they exploded into the air like fireworks and fell into a sea of color.

His paint box was full of many colors, the darkest of hues. His colors had the strength and intensity of earth and stone. When he painted he created turbulent storms. He painted fiery canyons and the dense colors of the forest. He painted with the richness of fertile soil. He brushed them over the animals and the birds. And he painted the cool summer shadows. He surrounded himself in a blanket of darkness and painted the moon. His colors would clash together and spark like lightning, or gently blow and rustle through the branches of the trees. He painted cautiously, carefuly placing each and every stroke. His strokes were strong and deliberate.

One day she was painting the sky to the ground and he was painting the ground to the sky, when their colors met on the horizon. The paint ran together and danced and swirled above the mountian tops. It blended into the ocean. Together their palettes were broadened and the spectrum complete. Now they blissfully painted the world together on one broad canvas.

Then one day they decided they missed their own unique palette and decided the other's needed changing. She scrubbed and painted furiously to lighten his dark colors. She added more and more pigment and mixed her colors with his until her colors were spent. The harder she tried to change his colors the more her palette became dull and muddied.

Meanwhile, he had decided her colors were too brilliant. He tried unsuccessfully to paint his colors over hers. Then he carefully tried to remove his colors from the box. He regretted giving his colors so freely. The thought of losing their own unique colors made each of them sad. Tears fell into the palette and swirled around until they were a muddy brown. They stared down into the mixture of their colors, and it was then that they knew that their colors weren't gone. They were deeper and richer than ever. It was the contrast of his colors that made her colors burn brighter. And it was her bright colors that made his seem so strong. The contrast of their colors gave them balance. They each possessed the most beautiful colors in the paint box, and swirled together they made one.

So thats the story.......I'm a little confused by it.....I don't know if I'm thinking into it a little more than needed...maybe I could get some insight since most everyone on here has been married atleast a year and a half longer than me :D

LOVES

*Wedding Pictures*

*Hey Hey*

So. I have a bunch of really awesome pictures of Tim and I at Disneyland and the beach on our honeymoon, but I forgot to check the little box at Walmart to say that I wanted a cd with my pictures so I could put them on here...so sorry...no honeymon pictures yet! lol...I'm going to try to take the negatives to them and see if they can get me a picture cd from those...so keep your fingers crossed...or else you'll just have to pretend you know what I'm talking about when I say Disneyland ROCKED!

Thats All

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

Yay its Turkey Day. So we started off the day at the big turkey bowl. What this consists of is about 20+ guys that all get together and have a huge football tournament. It was really great! Tim's team did awesome. They play 5 on 5 with two games going. They ended up winning their game and it was so fun to watch.

So the last two days I have been puppy sitting. Tim and I offered to sit Crowdin while my family went to Idaho. Its been great. He's been kinda nervous that mom and dad left him, but he seems to be adjusting. The hardest thing was last night he wanted to sleep in our bed sooo bad and thats the one place Tim doesn't want him going. It was pretty sad kicking him off the bed like five or six times..so then I finally made him sleep in the family room, but he kept coming back and whinning at our door. I think tonight will be better! :)

We had Thanksgiving at Tim's Grandma and Grandpa Lires' house today. The food was great! There were about 35 to 40 people who showed up and their house is probably smaller than my parents in Nephi so that made for an interesting time. We had a lot of fun.

Well I'm glad I got to spend my first Thanksgiving with my husband, but I still miss you all very much. I am so thankful for my amazing family, and all the people who are there everyday cheering us on. I love you guys! I'm so thankful for my fabulous husband. He is absolutely amazing and I never imagined that I could be so happy! I am thankful for this amazing time in which we live. I love the gospel and the amazing gift of the atonement. I can't wait to go to the temple to be sealed to my incredible husband. I love you all and am so thankful that you are a part of my life!

*HAPPY THANKSGIVING*

*WEDDING*

hey everyone! so I am alive I promise....things have been super crazy with wedding stuff all the time and then dealing with living with a boy! *WEIRD*..but its pretty cool and I kinda like him so its all ok i guess.

Lots of fun things have been happening. I'll start with HONEYMOON! We went to Disneyland and it ROCKED. We had such a great time...but as our luck would have it with cameras we forgot the charger to Delila's camera (cuz neither of us have one *lame*) so we have like one days worth on our digital and the rest is all on disposable cameras so who knows how those will turn out. I'm waiting to go pick them up at Walmart tomorrow so hopefully I can get them on here sometime this weekend.

I have a job! A real job! Its pretty neat. Tehnically I haven't started yet. I'm waiting for my license to get here. Its only a matter of time and then the real work begins! I've just been picking up shifts at the Sizz these last couple of weeks so we're not totally broke!

Our apartment ROCKS! We got so many things from everyone. It was amazing! I really love my family so much and I really realized how awesome they can be with everyting that was taken care of for the Wedding! I couldn't believe it! I just love you guys!

Well Tim is everything I imagined a husband being and I love him so much. He's so great and I'm so lucky to get to spend every day with him. We're kinda spoiled right now cuz we get to spend like all day together pretty much...soon he will start school and I'll be working full time..and then we'll be lucky if we get to see each other before we both crash into bed.

Well its good to be back and I finally got my computer at our apartment and we finally have internet..so hopefully I can keep this thing updated. I love you guys. And I miss you all already! LOVES!

GUESS WHAT I HAVE!!!!

PICTURES!!! YAY! SO Tim and I took our engagement pictures today...heres just a few of my favorites...pick yours!!!!

*Sad Day*

So now I have no phone and I had to cancel my debit cards and checks and they took my perscription for UTI (thats urinary tract infection for you uneducated folk) lol jk...but yeah so soon I will have a new phone with a new number..so everyone send me your numbers so I can have them again. LOVES...I'm still kinda bummed tho.......... :(

I'M ALIVE!

So a lot has been going on lately. I have gotten almost everything planned aside from the flowers and the luncheon. My bridesmaids dresses turned out really really cute. Misty's and Lacy's are pink with black polka dots and black ribbon around the waist. Dede's and Jessica's are black with white polka dots and pink ribbon around the waist. They are just past the knee and have black tull around the bottom. I'm really excited about them and if I had a WORKING CAMERA..I would show them...but not yet. My ring is GORGEOUS! Its so perfect and exactly what I have always wanted. I'm so excited to show everyone.

My last day of class is in 4 weeks!!! YAY!! I've really been crunching down on getting all of my classes done, taking finals, checking out places to send my resume, and just all the fun stuff that comes along with being done with school. Its going to be so nice to FINALLY have that under my belt. I hope all is going well with everyone! I love you guys!
