ROAD TRIP

This last easter weekend was really crazy busy. The easter celebrations were great and dinner with the friends was tons of fun.. thanks guys! On Saturday my mom and I started our little road trip to Boise, Idaho. One of my roommates from my freshman year of college got married. She caught the bouquet at my wedding. I really wanted to go to the reception, but Brandon was not one bit excited about the driving, so my mom said that she would go with me. I have only been to Boise two other times.. one with Elise for one of her roommates receptions and we drove back that same night and of course I was no entertainment and fell asleep. The second time was a trip to watch the aggies play in the march madness craziness and again we drove back that same night. We were so crazy and so tired and of course I slept the whole way home and was of no assistance keeping Brandon awake..other than every couple minutes I would panick and wake up to make sure he was okay! :) Anyway.. this time I got a cheap hotel on priceline, so we stayed the night. Matt kept trying to tell us it was a 5 hour drive and it was according to the TOMTOM and I was really nervous, but we drive fast, so it only took 3.5 hours!! We had fun and even got in a little shopping, meal to go at olive garden for almost nothing.. some cheesecake from cheesecake factory, and a whole lot of yummies at the reception. The next morning in the gym was a must!!
It was fun for a little road trip, but if you are ever wanting a road trip with some scenery..do not go to BOISE. That is the most boring drive of just fields and fields of NOTHING!!! It was fun to see my old roommates though, so I am glad that we went! Thanks mom!

Cousin Jarom's wedding

all the girl cousins that were there!

Our family table....

Brandon and I---he is so dang cute!

Here are some pictures from my cousin Jarom's wedding. It is always fun to get all the Bergeson's together... well hardly ever ALL together.. but a majority of them were there.

Riley Junior Prom 08

We left the wedding early to hurry down to riley's promenade. She looks so cute. Love the green! It kept reminding me of my prom.. although I am sure she had much more fun than I did!! I think Brandon was sick of my prom stories! Sorry! I got my prom dress from home the other day and I put it on while i was there-- quite a bit too small too. Riley's friends were making fun of it, but hey it was cute 10 years ago!! I get the prize for cheapest prom dress too.. $30.00.. my accessories were more than my dress! And yes.. it really was cute!!

1 year older and hopefully wiser too! :)

I feel kind of dumb doing a blog about my birthday.. but oh well.. I had a great day. We stayed over at my mom's because we were going to my cousin's wedding in Logan on Saturday and we had some errands to run in Brigham on Friday. I hated the blanket of snow that we woke up to!! IT is supposed to be spring! Mom made my favorite breakfast cocoa and toast, which only mom can make it the right way! Then we hurried to get ready to leave up to Logan. I wanted to open my presents before we went up and didn't have a lot of time, so my hair is lookin super nice in the pictures.. not done yet and no makeup! Yikes.. can't believe that I am posting these! I was spoiled and got Photoshop from my parents and Riley and the cricut software to go with my machine from Brandon. I really have to become tech savy now and my mom told me she expects great things! :) I also got some cute clothes and money and a wax machine. Thanks everyone!!

This is my ghetto birthday cake that I made today because cake sounded so good and I had an excuse for it. Tai and Joe and Cara, Matt and Hadlee came over to have some cake with us! Thanks guys!

I can't believe that I am 26!! I was telling Brandon and my mom that I don't think that 10 years ago I would have looked forward and imagined my life at 26 being the way that it is--no kids and STILL in school, and still working (at least it isn't Maddox!), but I honestly wouldn't change it for anything. I am so grateful for the things that I do have and for the many lessons I have learned, opportunities given, and being able to kind of have a career before kids. I was also thinking at how weird that I am only 4 years younger than my mom was when she had Riley!! That is so weird to me! I just hope that I will become more wise with each year that I get older!

Good Things Utah Girls/Team Carrie Ann

I took Friday off and we went to a showing of Good Things Utah. I love this show and watch it every day (yes.. while working.. shhh). I have wanted to go for awhile, but just never got around to it, so I figured it would be a good time to go for my birthday with my mom and sisters. We had so much fun. The girls are so cute and I can't believe how much skinnier they are in real life. They are already skinny enough on t.v. NO FAIR! Reagan wasn't there so it was a guest host, but still fun.
If any of you watched on Friday you saw that Team Carrie Ann from DANCE WARS was on the show and did a segment. Mauriel from that team is from Utah. They are really good, but I really wanted Team Bruno to win, but still fun to see Team Carrie Ann. They left right after the segment and we didn't see them, but as we we were walking out, they were going to a different room, so we were able to sneak a quick picture with them!!

We then went to lunch at Paradise Bakery. YUMMY FOOD!! The funnest part was the ordering.. none of us really knew what we were doing! :) It was good to be with the girls and get it some good laughing.. Cara always put on a show for us. She said she would kill me if I posted the pic of her hillbilly teeth, so I will respect that! Thanks Mom, Riley, Lyssa, and Cara for the fun day!!
