I just wanted to say...that people who just gush and talk about how amazing and wonderful life is EVERY day....are usually full of crap! :)

Okay, so I guess I NEED to update this thing. Lets see, what is new...

1. We are working two jobs a piece. Why? I'm still not sure. I am teaching and working at a group home in Spanish Fork, and Devin is still an aide, and working at the group home, AND going to school full time. What a stud!

2. My sister, Kristen, is coming to stay with us for a while starting on the 6th. If you have ever seen the size of my apt, this should be interesting to say the least. 

3. The school year is in full affect. Things are going well, and I am having NO behavior issues. Woohoo!

4. I love Devin, and he loves me. But that is not really new....

Jon minus Kate Plus 8??

                                     Tabloid Covers

Okay, so say what you want, but I am obsessed with Jon and Kate Plus 8. It's really quite sad. I fell in love with the show about 2 years ago, and I catch an episode almost daily. I don't know why. It's sick, I know.

So, amidst my adorning of "America's favorite family" the tabloids began coming out with some crazy things. Headlines accusing infidelity such as "Jon caught out with mystery woman!" "Kate and the bodyguard!" and now attacks such as "Kate Gosselin: Mom to Monster"

When all of this started coming into the light, I was beside myself! [Ask anyone who is close to me :) ] I was in denial! That is the best way to put it- I thought there is no possible way! They are a good christian family, with lots of love! I guess I was wrong. 

After falling victim to reading some of the tabloid rants and raves, I thought, "well...this makes a little bit of sense." After watching last nights season premiere, I listed to how Kate talked about her "job" and putting her kids first. If that were true, wouldn't she quit the show? Wouldn't she take a step back and say, "ok, we have sufficient for our needs? My kids are set? Lets be a family?" You would think so. You would hope so. I prayed so! But no. That is not the case. 

If the Gosselin's can not take a step back and re-prioritize their life and step out of the spot light, much to Jon's request, they can save their family.

Kate however, seems unwilling to do so. WHY!?

I looked at Devin last night and said, "there will never be anything that I won't sacrifice if our marriage was about to come to an end." I hope that we never get to that point, and I hope I will never be so greedily involved in something to prevent that. 

If you want my opinion, they need to stop the show. As much as I love those cute little kids, its time to call it quits folks, and focus on what really matters. 

We really..really... like iphoto...

So, a couple of weeks ago, Amy and Andrew were over as usual...and it was late...and this is the result...We only hang out with the most attractive people...you know me!
                                                           Amy has such Gorgeous eyes!
Devin says my smile can light up a room...
Amy gets prettier by the minute. Jealous!
People do say I have a dominant personality...

Aren't they so cute!?
We managed to take a trip to the moon!
And under the sea!
             BFF'S!

Thanks for looking! :)

Alohaaaaa

So, next Monday, June 1, we are off to Hawaii! We are so excited! Our friends, Blake and Becky, told us about this AWESOME deal on orbitz.com. We were able to get tickets and hotel for a week, for about $800.00! Yes...800.00. We are so exctied! What a wonderful way to spend our 1 year anniversary. I LOVE YOU, DEVIN! THANK YOU!

Easter time...

SO, this year Easter was kind of sad! We celebrated Easter on Saturday, with Devin's family. Everyone was there and it was nice to spend time with my nieces and nephews. We had a yummy ham dinner and the kids received some baskets from Grandma and Grandpa Hardman and Great Grandma and Grandpa Vineyard. It is so celebrating holidays with little ones. It makes it so much more exciting! We left before the official egg hunt started, because we were heading up north to Farmington to play some games with our good friends, Amy and Andrew. They were at Andrew's parents new house for Easter. Chad and Cindy, Blake and Becky were also there. (Chindy and Blecky) :) The girls played some fun card games and chatted while the guys golfed on the Wii. When the boys were done, we played "murder in the dark." The objective was to catch a murderer, obviously! We turned off all the lights in the basement and one person drew a paper that gave them the job of murderer. We all crawled on our hands and knees, in the pitch black dark, trying to avoid being "choked" by the assassin! I never got to be the murderer, but I did manage to get my arm banged up pretty bad. First, Blake rolled over me as I lay on the floor dying, and shortly after, Chad stepped on my arm. Both guys were attempting to oust the murderer by racing to the light switch and exclaiming that they know who the murderer is. Even though I was injured, it was a lot of fun! It's great having good friends who are at the same stage of life as you are. 

On Sunday, we went to church and got some nice reminders about the true meaning of Easter. I am so grateful for Christ's atonement and for the resurrection of our savior!!! The sad part came when we came home and napped for HOURS and ate pasta for dinner, followed by watching Twilight. Not very Easter-y! Amy and Andrew came by for games and brownies but it was sad not being with my family doing all those fun Easter things. Maybe next year we wil be in California, and perhaps with a little one to enjoy all the fun with! :)

We will however, be in California TOMORROW! I am so excited to see my family! 

GOSH that was a long post...hope you all care! :) 

Our internet has been down at home so I will post pictures soon!

We're rich!

Okay, not really. But, good news is, in about 1 hour, we will have sold Devin's 2007 Toyota Corolla to some friends of ours! This is great news for us! We have 2 cars, both 07's, and work less than a block from our home, and Devin rides the bus to school. We are happy to have some extra money to stash in savings. Hooray for provident living!
