Uneventful Weekend

I haven't posted in a while so I thought I'd give an update. Then I realized there is nothing TO update.

Gary is doing an amazing job selling SEO (search engine optimization) and web development for the business he and his dad started. They are bringing in enough money for us to get by. A few more sales and we'll be living cozy! If any of you know any business owners who need some internet marketing send them our way!!!!

I am working on finding a good job (that entails good hours, good pay and good location). I'm also helping out anywhere I need to or can. Oh my heck!! How could I forget? Gary and I are going to tax school! We're learning about taxes and it's overwhelming but fun!

Friday I got the opportunity to go to "Fantastic Friday" at the ward building in Arvada. Jeanette (Gary's mother) invited me and I'm SO glad she did! We helped do crafts and learned how to make egg rolls!!!!! It was simply AMAZING! SO FUN!

Saturday we spent the morning painting the outside of the new house!! Then we relaxed the rest of the day. Sunday we went to stake confrence, which was out in tim-buck-two- Aurora. It was great. After that we, as in I, took a nap and headed to Arvada to visit with Gary's family. We played Master Piece and had a delicious dinner!! After that we went with them to the youth fireside. The fireside was good other than the speaker did not do what he was assigned to do... he did give a great talk though!

Now for this week, I'm working on getting my Colorado driver's license! Pray that it goes well. I have to prove I'm a resident and I'm not sure how I'm going to do that... but my license expires in a couple weeks so I need to get my new one ASAP!

Opinionated Food!

Alright, I have been a little less than busy since I moved to Denver. I'm looking for a fun job, but those don't just come easy so in the mean time... I'm creating a new blog!! It's all about food and its just glorious! I'd suggest you check it out.

New House!!!

The tippy top is one of the livingrooms. Next one is From livingroom into "fish room"

Above: Dining Room!

Above are both pictures of the kitchen, behind the kitchen is my laundry room!

This is the lovely bathroom!!!

This is the bedroom!

and this is the office/spare bedroom.

We also have a family room off past the dining room but I forgot to take picutres of it. I'll post them another day.

Below are other not as cool pictures of the house! I'll add more when I get around to it!

DENVER! Pure bliss!

So, I now live in Denver Colorado! Woo Hoo! We safely made our move and are almost done unpacking. The only catch is... the house we're living in is up for sale. Kent (my father in law) owns the house and has remodeled it. It's beautiful!!! and I love it. He's trying to sell it but in the mean time, we're living there to make the mortgage payment and to make it look lived in. The only down side is, we could have to move again any given month.

I was a little scared of the big move. My fears were/are not finding or liking a new job, not renting out the basement apartment in Provo (PLEASE spread the word, it's a nice apartment for a good deal!) and being lonely. We'll see how those issues turn out. So far though I have found Denver to be 1) VERY confusing as far as some roads go and 2) filled with VERY nice people! You would think people in Utah would be nicer, right? Totally wrong! As a whole, Denver's citizens are by far much more considerate than I'd see in Utah.

I also love the shopping here. You see, when I say we live in Denver... I mean Denver! We're right smack in the middle of it all which means you find your store just around the corner! Ikea for example... just 10 minutes away! Walmart? Yep, 10 blocks away. Target? Got a few of those. Seriously, this place is awesome!

Gary and his dad are working on their business and I'm just tagging along with whom ever has the more exciting day planed. I hope I find a job soon, and hope even more that the basement gets rented out! Thanks for reading, and I'll keep you updated!

One Year Down... Eternity to Go!!!

It's hard to believe that Gary and I have been married for a year now! It has been an amazing year and I'm really thankful to be married to him not just for time, but for eternity. Everyone says the first five years are the hardest... if these years are "hard" I really can't wait for the easy ones! We have been blessed to not be faced with any major trials or disagreements. We are really just happy and in love!

For our anniversary we went to Salt Lake City! We first went to Ikea and shopped around. Gary was AMAZING and made sure that I saw everything in the store. He was so fun to shop with! Then we went out to a yummy lunch after which we checked into our Bed and Breakfast! We stayed at the Parrish Place . After taking a short nap while Gary read, we went to Gateway mall for more shopping! and a movie. We saw, and loved, Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince. Since it ended at 11:30 we then called it a night. The next morning we woke up to a lovely breakfast in bed! We checked out and took the scinic rout back home just in time for dinner with the family! It was a really great weekend away.

The yummy breakfast!
