Family Pics

Kelly and I haven't had pictures taken together since we have been married. We figured it was about time. Plus, Kellys mom has a wall full of pictures from every family except ours. After two years of an empty frame we decided we would get her one. Here are a few of our favorites. Thanks to Kelly's sis Alesha for taking them for us. She did a great job.

4th Times a Charm!!!

I PASSED MY TEST!!!!!!!!

As some of you know I have had a really hard time passing my written test in order to become a licensed Esthetician. They have recently changed the test and are now testing out of 7 different books. I learned from one. This morning was my 4th time taking my dreaded test. I didn't even study again. I have been so frustrated. I know the answer to over 1200 questions and I could not pass this stupid 110 question test. A lot of the questions were quite irrelevant. So this morning I rolled out of bed, threw on a hat and headed out to FAIL my test again. When you get there to take the test they take your picture to print on your pass or fail score. As I am sitting there getting my picture taken (without my hat) I was thinking "Watch me pass my test today" Knowing I looked absolutely amazing for my picture. I don't even care how I looked I finally passed my test!!! I can't even tell you what a weight has been lifted off my shoulders. Here is a copy of my score and my amazing look this morning;)

Its finally done!!!

Today is one of the greatest days of my life.(Thats probably an exaggeration, but its still a good day) I woke up this lovely Sunday morning and didn't have to put on my grungy clothes and head to the dreaded townhouse for 7 hours. Thats right 7 hours is how long we would spend there. I get a little nauseous just thinking about it. Anyways, all the hard work payed off. For those of you that don't know Kelly and I lived in this house when we first got married. After building the house we live in now we decided to keep the town house as a rental. It was a pretty nice place, but two tenants and 8 dogs later it was a dive and disgusting. So we have been gutting it for the last 87 years.....ok, it was only two in a half months. Here are some pics of the final product. If anyone knows any one interested in a rental let me know. It is 1600 sq feet, 3 bed 2 bath and a 2 car garage. We are asking 1150. It is located in Salt Lake.

Tree Time!

Every year around this time I start nagging Kelly to help me put up the Christmas tree. With the whole townhouse fiasco it took me three days to get him to do it. It usually only takes three hours. This year I was especially excited to put up my tree because I decided to change it and get new ornaments. I am so happy with how it turned out.

Here some pics of my favorite Christmas decorations.

Of course my tree That I love this year. Not the greatest picture but it's really cute in person.
I love filling my vases up with Christmas balls.



Then of course there is this guy. No explanation necessary he is just cute.
