it's official

so it's official! we stink at bloggin. ok it's me. i'll admit it! you see it's because i'm .....excuses excuses!



so how bout a good list of things that we have done this past oh....feb,march,april,may,june,july,august--8 months.
1. i celebrated my 24th birthday in march. danny threw a nice surprise birthday party where he borrowed guitar hero from some friends. totally addicted...read on it gets better.

2. april.....um...i continue to be in school. nursing school that is. i started last october and will graduate with an associates degree in science as a registered nurse in late may...that as of today is in (today is aug 31) 6 months!! i'm am super excited and really can not wait. this semester ends in the begining of october and then i can take my LPN! this is exciting news bc once i past i can move on up in the world at the hospital from being a lowly CNA/ Secretary to an amazing awesome LPN!



danny graduated! danny has a bacholors degree in bahavior science with an effisaisa in social work. i'm so proud of him! high five to him! we had a little gathering with danny's family and my aunt shelley came. we made pizza and had yummy truffle cake!


3. May... i am the activities chair in my ward, thus meaning i am in charge of allll the activities in my family ward. i haven't really even been in a family ward...well not for a long time. i was totally grateful for the calling and then totally overwhelmed. danny and i do a great job at being the commity. that's right...either i stink at delagating or i just need to put time aside to put people on the commity.

so may...may was my first activity. i had a ward fiesta in the ward pavillion. it went great (looking back)! i was a stress case and cried an hour or so before i got to the pavillion to set up. but it went great and it's over. the main dilema was the food which was great bc, oh yeah..my mom, sister, and brother were in town the week before for 2 of my cousins wedding. so mom helped out with the food but left the day before the fiesta. i am now a pro at activites now.


4. june... still in school, danny is working and i am working as well. danny does a fabulous job at his work. he works at slate canyon youth detention--the long term unit. my husbands works with huge islander guys (that doesn't sound politicially correct....). the kids are sentenced through the court to live there for months. these kids have done multiply things to get them in trouble with the law. danny does great things there like hold group (where people can express them self and have a little therapy as a group). he holds them to the rules and does great.


danny and i flew to delaware were we visited my family! we stayed there for a week on my break of school. we went up to massacheustis and stayed at a nice time share resort there. we saw the norman rockwell muesuem up there. we also went to new york city were we walked around and showed off the city to danny. we saw a broadway play there...what was it call..the myty python one. it was a good laugh. we traveled with haley and christian and mom! daddy was stuck doing work at home. the trip was so much fun. danny and christian got to know each other more. they first meet in may when christian, mom, and haley came out for the weddings. christian was on his mission when we got married.

5. july. july danny turned...26! we had a little sushi party with friends and family. for danny's birthday, danny's brother decided to give us his XBOX and then...the great news...danny's family got him GUITAR HERO AEROSMITH! danny's brother nathan decided that he needed to give it away to be able to concentrate on schooling. guitar hero is the only game that we have. but it's so fun and we are getting so good. if only we spend the time on a real guitar as appose to guitar hero...we'd be excellent! oh well.


also, in july we celebrated our mentors' birthday. she turned 12 a day after danny. we got her some fun stuff and did a bbq/campfire. they had a blast! kirsten and kalob (they're siblings -9 and 12). we've been mentoring them since we've been married. i've mentor kirsten since september 2 years ago. kindof crazy how times past.


we had a blast with leslie and clay on the 4th. we tubed down the provo river and had a great bbq afterwards. we then had some troubles with my car. but $500 later...it is all fixed!

danny and i went on a fabulous pre 1st year anneversary trip! we did it early bc of our crazy insane shedule! it was awesome. danny surprised me with everything and plan it all too. we stayed in hotels in st. george utah. we went to angles landing in zions along with short hikes there too. we saw the big zions imax film, walked around town, had funs to eat, went to TUACAHN and saw LES MESIRABLE (way fun surprise), and went to brigham youngs winter house, cove fort, big rock candy mountian, and dinasour foot print fossils measum. we had a blast. i'm so lucky to be married to this amazing guy!

6. august! we celebrated our 1 year anneversiary! i just can't believe that it has been one year! it has flown by which is a good sign i think. meaning that i've just has such a blast. i've laughed and giggled most of this year i think.


danny's brother nathan got married in the begining of august. aubrey and nathan got married in manti temple. it was a beautiful wedding. they are now living in ephriam and going to snow college.
this month we had a little caldwell weekend gettaway. we went up to sanpete county to spring city. this county is where manti is. it's so beautiful up there. danny's sister lives up there with her family and danny's parents have a house up there as well. we rocked climb up there and

 hiked. it was fun to be with all the family.

we also had another ward activity. it went better this month...or at least i did better. we had a ward campout in spanish fork river park. they said the numbers double this year so i think it went well. kirsten and kalob went with us. we took danny's parents 1980s VW camper. totally awesome. we want one so badly.


christian officially moved out to utah. i've had a blast with him already! he's going to utah valley state university.


danny started grad school! danny is getting his LPC...licinced couselor. (i forgot what the P stands for). it's at the university of phenoix based in murry and pleasant grove. danny will go once a week to class for 3 years. it;s pretty intense...so it seems. its one class for 6 weeks at a time. i'm so proud of him for starting grad school! this option works so well with our schedule and i'm so excited for him that it has started and that he decided to do it. go danny go!

so what have we been up to along with all this....
