"i have a dream..."

so tonight i was thinking about jobs, careers, school etc. i've been looking for a new job lately, i need a full time job, and a job i actually like. i only work 17 hours a week, or less. so i get reeeeally bored on my days off, and this is the time of my life where i can work a full time job. so i've been looking at craigs list, indeed.com, lds.org daily for jobs, and on saturday night i found a job at a little place called "nothing bundt cakes" and they are hiring right now, and this is the type of place i would LOVE to work at, i love baking, i love cake decorating, making cookies, anything! so tomorrow after i get off work i'm going to go apply at this little shop and we'll see where that goes! but this also made me think of my "dream career" that i've always had lingering in the back of my head. i've always wanted to open up like a little bakery, or cafe. but tonight i was thinking of a bakery, but also have little tea parties for little girls and host birthday parties or something... i don't know, it just seems so fun, and it would be something i would love to do, i love baking, i love kids, and it seems like such a rewarding career. but this also will take a lot of thinking, planning, some schooling, and also will take a few years for it to fall into place.

opinions on this would be great, let me know what you all think!!

cousin's bridal shoot

hello everyone! so a couple weeks ago, me, my sister and my cousin did a photo shoot in our wedding dresses! it was so fun to wear my wedding dress again and to take pictures with them! we all got married within a year of each other, so we decided it would be fun to get pictures of all 3 of us in our dresses. our dresses are so different from each other, i think they each show our personalities and our style. my dad also snuck into a few pictures with me and my sister, they turned out great, and our hubbies also got to be in some of them! i love these pictures and i'll cherish them forever!

here they are! :)

my wisdom teeth experience

Well on thursday morning i had the wonderful experience of getting my wisdom teeth out, my awesome brother-in-law who is a dentist was able to take them out for me. the day before he gave me the pills that i needed to take 45 minutes prior to my procedure, i was kinda a bit nervous after i picked them up, but i knew everything would be ok. so thursday morning finally came, nick and i woke up, got my stuff together, nick gave me a priesthood blessing and we were on our way to my house to drop off my stuff and so i could take the pills. i went and laid on the couch cause i didn't know how i would react to the pills. so nick finally said it was time to go and i didn't feel any different so i was kinda thinking ummm... i don't want to do this if i feel the same! then i sat up and whoa... i did feel different, so nick carried me to the front door and i walked to the car and we went to jared's office. i remember mostly everything about the whole procedure, but when i got home.... i was zonked!!! i don't remember a thing! i thought i was asleep the whole time till i heard stories from nick and my sister. when i got home i said i saw a ghost and nick could understand me so i was trying to say "boo." i apparently talked to my grandma on the phone and had a whole conversation with her, i watched boy meets world and was seeing double, nick said i was saying in an innocent 5 year old voice "there are two of cory, and shawn, and the dad!" he said i just kept telling him that. my sister came over for her lunch break, i don't remember seeing her at all, when she left i said "bye sissy!"

so i woke up at 3 later that day, i was doing just fine, i was up and going and eating just fine. then friday morning came... not a fun morning i was really sick till about 12, and again i was up and going and feeling fine. this morning came, i was sick again. i've been lucky to have my parents helping me and my husband, i would be a wreck if i were alone and feeling like this. so that's been my experience so far, i hope tomorrow is a better morning and day, i'm really over the whole being sick thing. but i'm so glad i have my family, they have been so helpful these past few days, and i'm glad i have nick, he has been so good to me and taking care of me, for example, he heard me get sick this morning and held my hair back for me, now that my friends is true love!

enjoy the pictures!

before the procedure, i was cold so they gave me an electric blanket

after i woke up around 3

one year "dateiversary"

Well folks, today marks the day that nick and i "officially" started dating. It's crazy that we have been together one year, have been married for 4 months, and only 2 days of this last year we have not seen each other, and i hope it stays that way. seeing nick always makes my day so much better, he knows how to cheer me up, he knows what he needs to do to take care of me, and he spoils me!

Anyways, tonight we went out and celebrated a bit, we went to the garden restaurant at the joseph smith memorial building. that is a neat place! i loved it! and it has great food! after we ate we walked around temple square for a while where we ran into some sister missionaries and nick noticed one of them was from switzerland, so we had a nice talk with them and went on our merry way. seeing sister missionaries makes me want to go on a mission so bad, i planned on going on one actually but as you can tell nick came along :) which is what the lord had planned for me. but nick and i just got called to be ward missionaries, i'm so excited to have this calling, and to serve with my husband, i'm so excited to share the gospel with him and change peoples lives. i know it will be hard at times, but i'll have the lord by my side and anything is possible. :)

so it's been a wonderful year with nick, and i can't wait for more to come, we have the rest of eternity with each other, and i can't wait, hopefully nick won't get sick of me ;)

i like to spoil him too

the perfect night to be at temple square!

i still thank blink 182

i don't know if most of you know the story of how nick and i met, so i'll fill you guys in.

a year ago in june i had bought a ticket for the blink 182 concert with a friend, after paying 80 dollars, we were on our way to the concert september 7th. about a week before the concert, my friend lets me know he got scheduled for work the day of the concert and no one was able to take his shift. so i was left trying to sell his 80 dollar ticket. i asked everyone and no one was really interested, finally i changed my facebook status saying i had an extra ticket to the blink 182 concert and asked if anyone was interested in going, about 2 minutes after i posted that status, nick commented on it and said he wanted to go. i was RELIEVED that someone bought the ticket, and i was also excited to go with nick. about a week before the concert i ran into him at wal mart and we talked about going out to eat before the concert, and then we went our separate ways... i kinda began to wonder if it was a date. but anyways the day finally came, i was so excited! nick came and picked me up and we headed down to orem and went to chili's, we ate dinner, colored chili's, nick made fun of my coloring, and went to the concert, and had a great time! the best concert ever. nick took me home and the night was over (nick was not happy about our goodbye that night, i didn't know if he was going to walk me to the door or not so i kinda just got out of the car and said goodbye)

later that week nick asked me out for that saturday, september 12th. he took me to dinner at geckos, where we colored kids menus, nick teasing me again, and going to the movie theater to get our pictures judged by random strangers, my picture got the most votes! we went and saw the movie "9" where i nearly fell asleep cause i was so tired and wasn't too interested in the movie, but anyways the movie ended and nick took me home and on the way home he said "you know, i don't like playing games" and i'm sitting here thinking "ok.... weird...." and then he says "i like you!" in my head i'm thinking "umm... come again?!?" i couldn't believe how blunt he was!! no one has ever just flat out said they liked me, on the FIRST date! so i proceeded to say "i guess i like people who make fun of me" we got to my house he walked me to the door, hugged me and the night ended.

sunday the 13th, we texted on and off all through out the day, i really was starting to think i did like him, so later that night i went on a drive with one of my friends and talked to him about nick. nick and i were still texting and i told him i was driving around, and he asked if was near sandy, so i told him i could be. so i drove up to his house, we went on a walk, and he had told me he would make it up to me for making fun of me, so we get to my car and asks if he could make it up to me, and right there he kisses me, yes he kissed me. i went home and was kinda freaking out by that point, and didn't know what i was getting into.

but it was a good thing, the next night we hung out and ever since we have been inseparable, out of the year we've been together now, there have been 2 days we haven't seen each other, and now we have been sealed together for time and all eternity. :) i'm so glad i have nick, and i don't know what i would do without him. i'm glad that we went to the blink 182 concert, and that nick "fell in love with the girl at the rock show."

status: EMPLOYED!

Hello everyone! you read that right, I am now employed! I am so excited to have a new job, and not to worry about having to look for jobs anymore! The hunt is OVER!

So I suppose I should tell you about my new job! I will be working at Sunset Ridge Middle School, and I will be in the attendance office for 2 1/2 days a week. So a very simple part time job, which is just what I need right now! I am so excited to be working with such a great faculty and staff, the girls that work in the main office are so nice, and welcomed me with open arms, and the 2 assistant principals that interviewed me are a riot! The principal is new this year, so I can be a newbe with him, but he seems like he'll do a great job! I still have yet to meet the teachers, but I'm sure they are all great! I will be working with one other lady, and she is such a sweet lady, I know she'll answer all my questions (which I'm sure I'll have tons tomorrow!) and she'll always be there to help me out.

So that's about all I have for now, I'm so excited to have a job, and I can't wait to start working!

and we're back!
