Plays and Musicals!

I know it's been so long since I've posted anything- I should be banned from the blogging world! Hopefully I can figure this program out and be a better blogger! Jace and I are both working full-time and going to school full-time, so we've had a busy year. However, one thing that we have been lucky enough to do this year is see a lot of plays. I know this sounds geek-ish, but I love musicals! I grew up going to musicals as a family tradition and now Jace and I really enjoy going to them. The ones that we have seen this year are Pirates of the Caribbean (Hale Center Theater), Music Man (Rodger's), Tarzan (Tuacahn), Aida (Tuacahn), Thriller (Kingsbury Hall), Wicked (Gershwin in NY), and In the Heights (Richard Rodgers Theatre, NY). Have a very Happy Thanksgiving!!

Our St. George weekend getaway!

So last weekend, Jace and I both had Saturday AND Sunday off (never happens)! So we planned a little get away trip down to St. George. We left on Friday night, watched TV for a bit then went to bed. On Saturday, we woke up, got our free continental breakfast, went to Zion's National Park which was beautiful, watched the BYU game, went to Pizza Factory for dinner, then went to an amazing play, Aida at the Tuacahn Amphitheater! Oh, when we got back to our hotel, we totally snuck into the Jacuzzi and pool for a while. Then on Sunday, we stopped at the St. George temple, then the Historic Cove Fort on the way home! Everyone has to go there at least once! It was such a blast of a weekend and so, so nice to get away!

Yeah, the wind was blowing like crazy!

Zion's

My cute hubby

I just want to say how much I love my husband, Jace. Tonight, I came home, was exhausted from working all night the night before, so I layed down for a sec. Jace had worked all day long, but when I got up, the vacuuming, bathrooms, mopping, and laundry was all done (and not for the first time)! Wow, I'm one lucky girl. I love you Jace!

BUNCO! And our house....

I've been meaning to post some pics of our future first home... I'll try to keep them updated! We are building a home in East Layton. Kinda scary, but way fun! We will hopefully be moved in by the end of October, just in time to have some trick-or-treaters!

August Bunco at the Flannery's!

Bunco was such a blast! Shanae was a wonderful hostess and it was so, so great to see everyone; can't wait for next month!

Sun Valley!

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince
My favorite book of the series
Enjoyed the movie, a little disappointed
A ton left out
Weasley's house never burned down in the book
Ron was really good, overall acting was better than the others
Have a small crush on Cormack McLaggen, Jace has one on Hermione (see below)
Hope Bill and Fleur will be in the next movie-where will their wedding be?
Still a huge Harry Potter fan

Our favorite place to go in Sun Valley!

Cheeseball picture, but we had to sport our HP scars!

Sun Valley is pretty much in the middle of the mountains and is gorgeous! This is pretty much my family's idea of camping.....pitiful I know, but so much fun!

GEL TOES! Also known as "rockstar" toes... they last for like 2 months and are all sparkly and fun!

Road trip! We almost ran out of gas and finally found a gas station out in the middle of Idaho in a city called Malta!

Lakeview Hospital- my second home! And gardening.....

Our first garden together! Even though it belongs to my Aunt Julie... we had a blast planting everything!

I've had several people ask me about where I work and what its like; here are a few pics!

This is one of the two halls I work on......

Yeah, this pic was taken at like three in the morning, but there are these sweet little pictures of babies down the whole postpartum hall.....so cute!

Matching by Accident!

Jace and I met Jace's family at Timbermine for my birthday, Jordan's graduation and Casey's moving to New York celebration and we all had matching shirts!

Even cute little Trey matched us! (Cute background pic, Jay)!

Finally Graduated from Nursing School!

After four long years of college, I finally graduated! I am now working at Lakeview Hospital on the Women's floor as an RN taking care of post-partum moms, as well as female surgical patients. After all that butt-wiping, it finally payed off; I love my job! Jace is working at AT&T now in Ogden... anyone want the new iphone? :)

Family Pictures

Finally! After 4 years, we got some family pics of the kids as a Christmas present for my parents

Happy Anniversary!

Because our Anniversary is so close to Christmas, we decided to do a simple, but fun day and it ended up being a blast! We started out by going sledding and it was hilarious! My dog, Ody, came with us and thought he had died and gone to heaven. Then, we got ready and went to the Garden Restaurant at the Joseph Smith building for dinner and went to the lights and Nativity at Temple Square after. It was a very romantic and special night. Once we got home, we ended the night by playing our new favorite game, Ticket to Ride, with my family.

Before our date, Jace bought me a dozen beautiful roses.
