MY SAD NEWS!

Just to let everyone know I didn't get into the nursing program again. Sensitive subject. LOVE YA!

PS Here's a picture from the chicken chase at the rodeo and a picture of Corey on Frontrunner on a date to SLC.

My life lately

WOW! I never thought it would happen... we are finally through with February. That month seemed to drag on and on for me. Although I do have a sick feeling that March is going to be the same way if not worse. On Friday night I got the chance to go to the Ballet West production of Madame Butterfly. I went with my grandma and we had so much fun. What a beautiful performance. On Saturday Corey and I joined my sister and a friend of hers for dinner and a night out. We ended up going to the comedy club "Wiseguys" on 25th Street. What a great show! The best part was that it didn't cost all that much and we had a ton of fun. My gut still hurts from laughing so hard. We saw a husband and wife team perform their names were Heather and Jerry Mabbott. If you get the chance to look them up do it... especially the wife... they were HILARIOUS!
Sunday we spent the day relaxing at the Walton's watching the NASCAR race. What a race.... there were so many freak events and cautions that the race lasted way longer than it should have... but oh well we loved every minute. Today is my sister Jenny's birthday and I will not disclose the age. I hope she has a great day! The weather finally seems to be warming up and I could not be more excited. I can not wait to get the swimming suits out and hit the pool. I have to make up for last summer so I plan on being as tan as a baked bean. My birthday is rapidly approaching and I am thrilled.... I know it's not the most common response but it is my 21st birthday so I don't mind getting another year older. Although I just figured out that it is the same weekend as Easter so that changes things a bit. Family functions come before partying so might end up celebrating the next weekend. Well gotta work on homework... YUCK! See ya around.

We are finally past Valentine's and I just wanted to share with everyone what my amazing husband did for me. Friday the 13th was just a normal day. I went to Tremonton with my sister so she could get her hair done. While we were there Corey called to say that he was stuck in traffic and that we would probably beat him home which we did. I was in the kitchen when he finally made it home and he called me into the living room were I saw a flower peeking out from behind his back and he handed me a Valentine's card and a single pink rose. I am a sap and this had brought me to tears. It was just so thoughtful especially being that we had agreed not to do gifts this year since were saving our money for a new house. I gave him a hug and said thank you and then he told that he really didn't get stuck in traffic and that there was more to my gift that he had gone to the mall to pick up. Then he pulled out the jewelry box. This is what was inside.
Needless to say I was speechless and proceeded to cry and jump up and down. He then told me to get ready to go out to dinner we had reservations a Boccia D'Italia.... Amazing!

The next day, however, I felt oh so guilty for not getting him anything and so a trip to the mall was made and the hat that he has been oogling for months now was purchased.
What an amazing weekend! (Love you honey!)
I hope everyone had a fabulous Valentine's day also.

THE EVIL NEIGHBORS!!

Ok so maybe I am not done ranting...

Corey and I live in condos for everyone that doesn't know and we recently got new neighbors in the unit that is just to the east of us. We were so excited the day the moving van showed up because that side of the house gets so cold and we hoped to get a young couple that we could maybe be friends with. Instead we got the worst neighbors ever! They moved in last friday (one week ago) that very night they had a party with like 10 people. They were so loud and it sounded like their was constantly an elephant heard running up and down the stairs but lucky they did shut it down around 10:30 so not to bad just a bummer that I had to be up the next day at 3:30 am for work. When I got off and finally got home I took Sage out onto the patio to go potty (puppy sitting) and all over were cigarette butts! I was a bit ticked. Then I noticed that the snow on our patio had a funny coloring... SOMEONE PEED ON MY PATIO! So now I'm mad. I went and got my camera and started snapping pics and then waited for Corey to get home.. he went over and asked them to clean it up and they did... then the next day we were wokin up at 7 am and got to endure blaring rap music for hours on end finally corey was at his wits end and we just left the house. All along we have been documenting as well as informing the lady that lives on the other side of us because she is on the HOA board. Then monday their spot in the parking lot was covered with trash because they decided to clean out the car and leave it all on the road (more documentation followed). It has been only one week and already all this crap! Plus this isn't all of the annoying tendancies that this family has but its the ones that really ticked me off. So now were trying to figure what to do to get these people to learn a little respect hopefully it comes before I am driven crazy or from my home!

2009 came in with a BANG!

Sorry for the lazy blogging lately. If Janurary is any indication of what the rest of the year will be like then I am in need of some serious therapy. The first week of Jan I was in work-a-holic mode due to the fact that I started school the fifth and wouldn't be able to work much for the rest of the semester. Then school began.... I am taking 12 credit hours which equals 4 (ish) classes. Biomed 1111 (the second half of the anatomy & physiology class), Music 1010, Communications 1010, and Finance 1010. The reason that I say "ish" is because the Biomed class also requires a lab but it doesn't acquire any credit hours itself. I am at the campus mon - fri from about 8 to 2! So I work only two days a week just so that my work doesn't get any crazy ideas like firing me due to lack of hours or anything. Also this month I've had my RN application due (crossing my fingers, that this is the year) and a job interview with the hospital (they liked me but my availability wouldn't work :( Oh well better luck next time!) Corey is also back in classes and is super happy due to the fact that he just found out that he passed his medical gas certification test with the 3rd highest grade in the SCHOOL! I am so so so proud of him.

So being that the month is only half over I am anticipating many events for the next few weeks, let's just hope that I have time to get on and blog. Ok so that's all the rantings I have for the day!

Bull Wars

Last night for New Years Eve Corey and I joined my sister and her family for some intense bull riding. The very first ride out of the gates left the rider flat on his back unconcious and bleeding. Right away we had to delay the evening while he came to and they safely got him on a back board and out of the arena. Still no word on what kind of injuries he sustained but I saw that bull stomp right on his chest plate. What's that country song that seems so fitting...? "Momma don't let your boys grow up to be cowboys" LOL!

These pictures are of the cowboys all lined up for the national anthem. This was sponsored by the US Army and I am so thankful for our soldiers. Here's a big thank you to them!!

The Painting

My grandma gave my dad a watercolor painting this year for christmas. It is of me and him dancing at my wedding. It is absolutely gorgeous. I cried when I saw it, and on the back she wrote "In memory of the lord who made it possible for heather to dance with her dad the day she married Corey" A total tear jerker.
