BLAZE

Saturday night Emily called and told us that they had a few extra tickets to the Blaze game, so we were able to go. Brandon was a little hesitant about going because they haven't been very good this year, but I convinced him to go. We had a good time. They even won!! Thanks Brad and Em!

Craziness

I have to apologize for my extremely boring blog!!
I have been really busy the last couple weeks and I have no reason why! I just feel like the nights (after work) are never long enough to get anything done and I don't even have children yet to make my life crazy!! Agh!
We had my cousin staying with us for a week untill she could move into her apartment. That isn't even what made me busy.. we could hardly even tell that she was here. I felt like we just drug her around with us in our craziness! :)
I have been busy just doing a lot of random projects (sewing burpcloths, fruit leather,
re-organizing my closets, making treats to sell at our work bake sale, running random errands all over SLC, etc and still finding time to make dinner, workout and clean my house and watch some of my fav shows) in addition to working my 40 hours /wk. I just need a couple more hours in the night. Good thing that Brandon helps me do the laundry!! :) I have a feeling it is just going to get worse too, but will totally be worth it!
Brandon doesn't get home from work till like 6:00 every night, because he works with a single lady that would rather sleep in till 10:00 and then come in to work and stay late. It drives us crazy!! : And to make it worse.. he is working for FREE! GRR!! We are actually paying for him to work. ONE MORE YEAR!!!
We went to St. George last weekend to spend some time with Grandma and Grandpa Bergeson. They are amazing people and we look up to them and wish them the best!! Thanks to them for letting us stay and creating some fun memories. It got pretty hot, but most of the time we were inside, so it wasn't too bad! We tried to lay out and get some sun before we came home, but I didn't last too long before I wanted to scream because it was so hot. Finally we got the great idea to sit in the sprinkler and let it hit us while we sat in the sun. I don't have any pics of this.. nobody is seeing me in a swim suit! YIKES! I did get a little sun to start my tan. The boys all went golfing in the morning and Brandon came back burnt! Brandon says that was one of the funnest games of golf he has played in a long time and he even got some pointers from Grandpa on what he needed to do to be better. I tried to send the camera with Brandon for some pics, but I guess he is too cool to take pictures while he golfs!
Grandpa was in the truck ready to go...
We of course also did some shopping and stopped to grab a bite to eat at the new IN n OUT in St. George. Brandon is bummed we don't have one closer.. I was not in the mood to eat a hamburger in that heat, but it actually tasted REALLY good. The place was packed.--we were lucky to get a table!

It is never fun to come home to work after a vacation, but we survived.

We went and hit range balls last week for FHE with Cara and Matt and their friends. Brandon's driver broke. Stupid thing.. He broke the other one on his first golf trip of the season. The head fell right off when he went to swing.. good thing it didn't hit anyone!! So.. his golf clubs are without any drivers! Golf is such an expensive sport!


Brandon finally had a free Saturday today, so he is washing and waxing the vehicles. For some reason, I can't stand to wax the cars so he does it alone. Good thing that he will do it. I have an awesome husband!

Orange julius, popcorn, and The Jazz!!

Every time I eat popcorn, I get the craving for orange julius. They just have to go together!! There weren't many Sundays that went by growing up that Dad did not whip up a batch of popcorn and Mom made orange julius or purple cow! What better snack to have while watching a little bit of Jazz basketball! :) Here is Brandon with his drink in what else besides his Utah State glass!!! Yum!!!

BIG HAPPY MOTHERS DAY!!

Happy Mothers Day MOM!! Thanks for everything that you have taught me and helped me to become!! I don't know how I would have made it to this point in my life without YOU!! You are amazing!
I also want to say Happy Mother's Day to Brandon's mom. I know that she won't see this, but I am so grateful for her and most of all for raising such a fantastic son!!!

DONE!!

It is so time for a new post. We haven't really been doing a whole lot that is really blog worthy, but I hate when people take forever to post something new and I am so guilty for that! :)
Brandon is finally done with finals. He had a little bit of a tough semester, but he pulled through and did excellent. I am so proud of him! I love that he has so much dedication and motivation to do well in everything that he is involved with. I felt like a widow the last couple weeks as he constantly studied, but decided I would get over it as it kind of affects my future too! :) One more year to go! It is hard to believe that next year at this time we will finally be done and real world.. here we come! :) The time really has gone so fast! It will be tons of changes all at once, but so exciting!
He starts his internship on Monday here in SLC (thank goodness it isn't out of state again and hopefully no major surgeries interrupt this one). This will go till mid July, then he will work on his doctorate project until school starts up again in the fall. He won't be able to use the studying excuse when it comes time to working out with me now!
I wish I had more exciting news, but really that is about it! I will try to be a little more exciting and get some fun pics posted!

almost a victory

We went bowling for my friends' birthday party on Saturday night. I have not been bowling in a LONG time, so I was sure I was going to make a fool of myself, but to my surprise I didn't do too bad. I was actually beating Brandon at one point and I of course made a big deal out of it, but he kept reminding me that the game wasn't over yet. Dang it.. it was close. I am the second to last score.. Brandon's is the last. SO CLOSE!! This is a first and probably a last. The picture at the top is horrible, but that is as good as I could get it with photoshop--still learning how to use it. :)

enjoying the nice weather

Yesterday the weather was so nice that Cara called and we threw together a little picnic between us, them and Cara and Matt's friends (Nate, Emalee, and Ethan) without having to go buy anything because it was sunday. We grilled hamburgers, sat around and talked and watched the kids play on the playground with the hundreds of others that had the same idea at sugarhouse park! It did get a little cold there as the sun went down. It is about time we had some warm weather!
