Fish Tank...

About three weeks ago Gary bought me a 10 gallon fish tank for my birthday. We decided that building up to a huge salt water tank would be our goal.

Well that only lasted, oh.... six days. We grew impatient and decided to start looking on Craigslist for a bigger tank. We found a 75 gallon for a great price and decided to just go ahead and do it now. It was seriously such a great deal!! We went and picked it up on Friday. Sid came over and helped Gary bring it down stairs and we spent about three hours setting it up and filling it with water. When we were finished we watched "The Invasion". We didn't get to bed til about 2:30!

So now we have a 4 foot long fish tank in our front room. It's amazing but now we need a few more fish so we're going to go get some tomorrow!

Oh, and I cut Gary's hair this weekend. I have never cut a guys hair before so I was a little hesitant but Gary talked me through it. I am sad to report that it is far from perfect. In fact, Dan commented on it on Sunday asking Gary "who cut your hair?" Ha ha ha... its really not that bad but you can tell that I'm still learning. I hope I do a great job next time.

Birthday!

We celebrated my 21st birthday this weekend! I worked Friday then ran home to wait for Ryan and Rachelle to come. They came to stay with us for the weekend since they had tickets to General Conference. Ryan went to a mission reunion and Rachelle and I watched "The Break Up" while waiting for the guys to get back (Gary was at his office). Once they got home we went and got pizza. Sid and Eric came over for a while too.

Saturday Gary and I woke up, got ready and ran to the bank. We got back and Dan and Robynn had come down and set up conference on the tv. After the first session Ryan, Rachelle, Gary and I went to the pet store to buy some fish for the fish tank Gary bought me two weeks before. We bought 4 Neon Tetra's, 2 Angel fish, and 2 Albino Cory. The fish were a gift from Kent and Jeanette and like I said, the tank was from Gary.

After watching the second session of conference we went to Keith and Julie's so Rachelle could see everyone. We hung out for a while then came home. Rachelle made amazing apple crisp! We started watching a movie but I was tired and just went to bed.
Sunday was great! I woke up and Gary had got me apple crisp with ice cream and put candles on it and had everyone sing to me. That pretty much made my day! Then we watched conference!

After confrere I opened my presents from my grandparents and Tanya. They gave me two amazingly cute shirts, a necklace and a target gift card. Oh! And Rachelle gave me an awesome picture frame! Then we went to dinner at Keith and Julies which was amazing! They even made me a birthday cake! Then we went home to get ready for bed.

Monday I got a package from my family! Colton got me chocolate raspberry sticks, which are my favorite! Bayli got me a couple cooking sets and my parents got me a cute fall candle holder.

A Typical Work Day

Now that we've been in our house a while we finally have a routine! Gary got a job working for a company called Orange Soda. He's doing a great job on the sales team and has made quite an impression on his co-workers and bosses. He and Eric are still running New Growth in their spare time too.
I am excited to be working as a substitute in the Provo School District. I am only working at Dixon Middle School right now because it just around the corner from our house. Next week I will add Timpanogos Elementary to my list(it's not finished being built yet). I'm really excited about working with the younger children!
So our daily schedule goes like this:
6:30- I shower and get ready
7:00- I wake Gary up so he can shower and get ready
7:30- we eat breakfast together and head out the door.
8:00- Gary and I both start work
3:00- I get home. I clean the house, do any grocery shopping I need to do and cook dinner
5:30/6:00- Gary gets home from work, we eat dinner together
6:30- Go out or have people over and hang out a while
10:00- Go to bed

Honeymoon!!!

On August 9th we woke up and got ready to fly to Mexico! I think our flight was around 11:00 and we finally got to the resort in Puerto Vallarta at 1:00 am their time (11:00 pm out time). We were hungry so we found food at an all day food bar thing and went for a "moonlit walk on the beach". Gary made sure that I took note of the moonlit walk on the beach.

While we were there we went to some super fancy restaurants. One served Mexican food and another was Italian. The food was so SO amazing! The service was just as great except they only spoke Spanish...

The beach was AMAZING! The sunsets were beautiful. We took pictures with Gary's camera but sadly they weren't coming out right so we didn't take as many as I would have liked. That's a huge bummer but oh well.

The trip was unexplainable amazing and perfect! (other than the getting sick part...) I think it will be the greatest vacation on my life!
