Here We Go!


Hello all! I have recently gotten complaints from multiple sources that my dear husband is just too inconsistent with his blogging... and while he is brilliant and entertaining, I challenged him that I could have a prettier, more consistently updated blog. I've never done this before, and really, I'm not very good at keeping up with things that require any maintenance (it's hard enough for me to keep up with clipping my fingernails...). But what the heck, I'm always up for a challenge.

My fun little family and I live in Salt Lake City, Utah. We are lucky to be living with my husband's Grandma right now, and we have been her very own basement dwellers for almost a year now. I work as a Housing Counselor at the Community Development Corp. of Utah. It's a great place to work, with lots of fun people. I mostly do foreclosure prevention counseling, and I also teach first time home buyer education classes and do pre-purchase counseling. It can be stressful sometimes ("will you please save my house and keep me and my kids from being homeless??" No pressure there), but it's rewarding and I really do love it most of the time. My sexy husband, Alex, is a stay at home dad and a student in the CHEF program. He is a great cook (and yes, I know, I am a VERY lucky wife!), and it's exciting for him to be getting more into the Culinary Arts program.

Alex and I have been married for about 5 1/2 years, and we have one beautiful little girl that we like to call Mya. She is almost 20 months old, and she is a spunky little angel. She has officially mastered the highest level of cuteness, and she is currently working on mastering new levels of naughtiness. Mommy accidentally taught her the "C" word recently (c-r-a-p). Oops. Now I just try not to laugh when she says it, and we try not to say it in front of her anymore! She's like a 35 pound sponge.

Nothing real exciting is going on in my life right now. I think I prefer things that way actually. I have been blessed with so much, and I am very grateful to be able to say that my life is wonderful, even if it is somewhat uneventful!

A Few Pictures and News





Welcome all to the year 2009!!! I know I am a few weeks late but I just woke up from the new year eve party. We know how to party here in SLC. I am sure that everyone had an enjoyable Christmas. You can tell from the pictures that Mya loved it. Well with the new year I have started back at school and love every minute. I can say this now because the first day was yesterday. We don't have anything else going on at this time. Our life is fairly boring except for little Miss Mya. I swear that kid is nuts!! She has gotten into setting the table and enjoys putting plates all over the table. We have so much fun, everyday is a party! I hope my time will allow me to keep everyone up to speed on all the fun that goes on. But for now I must leave this entry, less exciting I know but they can't all be great. Go now and be full of pleasure and oranges.
