We need some of this...

Cory told me that this week he would be out of town and pretty much he was except that at nights we slept in the same bed! It's been a busy finals week and since I am working 40+ hours a week we haven't seen each other much this week... thus Cory has been out of town :) We go home tomorrow and I am just happy that I am going to see our families and be in warm weather. We are both in desperate need of a vacation. Not only do we get to celebrate Christmas with our families but my lil' sister is getting married on Saturday and it's going to be so fun!
Arizona here we come!

So much to be Thankful for..

Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday! I don't know why but I just love that I get to relax, make delicious food, hangout with the family and my anniversary is right before it! We have been married ONE WHOLE YEAR... no more celebrating months :)

I was telling Cory the morning of our Anniversary that our first year of marriage was wonderful. I don't think it was hard at all.. sure there were tough times but Cory is the perfect husband. He is always making me laugh, there to comfort me when I am having a hard time, and is the best listener :) He works so hard in school and at work, and does so much to prepare for medical school. I love him so much.

Well for our Anniversary we both took off work and Cory surprised me with a One Hour Couples Massage.. it was heaven! Then we headed out to Salt Lake to go to the Salt Lake Temple! Neither of us have ever done a live session before and it was a really neat experience. We then needed a little taste of home so we went to the Red Iguana for some good Mexican food. You see.. Utah doesn't have a lot of choices when it comes to Mexican Restaurants believe it or not :)

Cory also surprised me with a bouquet of roses.. he's perfect I tell ya!

Well I flew home for Thanksgiving Sunday night and the fun just continued. I did a terrible job at taking pictures while I was down there. I have so many pictures of babies and none of me and Cory or the rest of my family! When I first got home I was able to meet Kasey's new baby Annie, she loved me :)

Then Dallas and Colleen, Cory's brother and sister-in-law, had Mason Marcus Heal a few weeks ago so we got to meet him for the first time! He is so cute.

AND THEN... while we were home Dustin and Mandy, Cory's brother and sister-in-law had their baby Megan Sabella Heal and she is perfect. We are lucky we got to see her while we were home!

We pretty much held babies, played with toddlers, and hung out with our families all week. It was wonderful.

Now that Thanksgiving is over I feel like I can finally embrace Christmas. At my work not only do we do interior design but we are big on most holidays and not to mention Christmas. Christmas is CRAZY... like we have had it up in the store since Halloween! Anyways I thought it would be fun to give a little sneak peak of what the store looks like at Christmas time because people go nuts over it.

Till next time...Merry Christmas!!

Adults say the darnest things...

This post is a little late but it was so much fun having my mom and Jen come up a few weeks ago to go dress shopping. We got so much done... not only did we find her a dress but we got all of her temple clothes, got her dress altered, ran a ton of errands and of course had fun. This was my job...

Watch the purses, give my opinion and take pictures :) Jen got her dress from the same place that I got mine and I just wanted to jump back there and try on wedding dresses with her! They had so many gorgeous dresses. I didn't take many pictures...sorry.

Anyways between shopping we went to go visit Cory at work and this is were the title of this post comes from. Cory works at Wells Fargo and when we got there to say hello to him he was helping a lady. We had been standing there for a few minutes and Cory finally looks up and was like " Oh hey!" The lady turned around and Cory was like "oh that's my wife, and her mom and sister". The Lady was like "oh that is nice that she came to visit".. and I am thinking to myself "This lady is so nice". Cory finishes up helping her and she walks away and grabs a cart ( he works in Wells Fargo in a grocery store). As she grabs her cart she swings back by me and gets really close to my face and says "So... when's your baby due"?

I about died! Mind you... I was wearing like a shirt that totally could be a pregnant shirt... it was the classic Forever 21 shirt ya know? But I have never had anyone say that to me EVER. I looked over at my mom who had a look of horror on her face and turned to the lady and said... "Oh, I am not pregnant, but I know this shirt looks like a maternity shirt huh?" She was like oh I am so sorry and walked away... WHO DOES THAT? As she walked away I turned to my mom and Jen for comfort asking them do I look pregnant? They assured me that I didn't at all and soon we all busted out laughing as we thought of Brian Regan's "When's your baby due" skit. By the time we got to talk to Cory we had tears in our eyes from laughing so hard. So for your enjoyment watch the video.

BABY DUE

I kinda hope that never happens again till I am actually having a baby

Big Change

The time came for me to make a big decision. I have been growing my hair out for quite sometime now and I just was getting so sick of it! So... this is the old do

Say hello to the new do :) I was a little nervous but I love it! We went out to dinner with our friends Dan and Brooke.

They're kind of goof's but we like it!

We carved pumpkins and i think ours turned out great! We had lots of fun with those two. This weekend my Mom and little sister are coming up to go Wedding dress shopping and I can't wait to see them! Details to come :)

Surprise Vacation

It's October! Fall is here and today it was 66 degrees outside. I wore boots on Sunday for the first time in a while and I think I am ready for the cold weather... not snow of course but cool weather. Well a few weekends ago Cory and I went to the Nickel Arcade with our friends Dan and Brooke.

We spent all of our tickets on candy :)

The Wednesday before General Conference my mom called me and asked me if I wanted to fly home for the weekend. Melissa and Ruthie would be home during that time and they thought it would be fun for me to come out as well. Cory was so sweet to let me leave last minute and during Conference weekend :)

When I got to the airport I was so excited to see this chubby face in the car!!

And of course it was fun to see the rest of my family too! While the boys were gone Saturday night we went out to the Cheesecake Factory.

Happy Birthday to Jen!!

Melissa and I shared the Red Velvet Cheesecake... so good

I know Ruthie isn't my baby but I just couldn't put her down all weekend. I loved seeing Evelyn and Lily too.

Thanks mom for flying me home!! Congrats to Jeff & Brianna and Jen & Jared!! Two of my siblings got engaged within a week of each other. Yay for weddings this winter :)

Guns and Mountain Men

For Labor Day weekend, Cory and I got invited by one of our friends named Lauren to spend the weekend in Wyoming with her family and some friends. We were pretty excited to go to Wyoming because #1: Neither of us have ever been there before, #2: She lives in a very small town, like population 1,100 people. Everyone knows each other and #3: Rendezvous, which is like a farmers market for Mountain men was going on. Look at exhibit A-

Haha, this picture cracks me up. Everyone was dressed up! We were able to go to Rendezvous, get some homemade root beer and Navajo Tacos and do some people watching. We spent Saturday morning shooting guns and looking for animals to kill.

Cory found a little prairie dog (just so you know he is not a violent person... in Wyoming people want you to shoot them because they dig holes everywhere!)

That evening we had a bonfire in Lauren's backyard. Cory and Lauren roasted some yummy hotdogs :)

When we first got there, Lauren told us that in order to be a "Mountain View, Wyoming Red Neck" you have to ride "The Elk". We ran over there that night and all hoped on quickly so that we wouldn't get caught. I was having flashbacks from high school when I used to run around doing mischievous things. Anyways, so I hopped on first and jumped off but....

Cory wanted to enjoy his ride... haha

We had so much fun in Wyoming! Thanks Lauren for inviting us :)

O-H-I-O

Cory and I just got back from our last little trip before schools starts. To begin, we had to go home to AZ for the wedding of these two ...

The wedding was wonderful and Mal looked gorgeous! Our two best friends got married :)

Well right after their wedding we took a Red Eye out to Columbus, Ohio so that we could make it in time to go to church. Cory served his mission in Columbus and we decided that now would be the best time to go back and visit. Sunday was a hard day for me because I was just so tired from the flight, but we had a great day visiting people. Here are some of the highlights of our trip!

1. Visiting people baptized like Ruth Jones

2. Going to the Columbus Zoo, it was huge!

3. Having dinner with Cory's Mission President and wife

4. Getting some Famous Jeni's ice cream. They had interesting flavors... I got Goat Cheese with cherries, haha

5. Going to the National Air Force Museum

6. Testing another famous ice cream place...Graeter's!

7. Going to German Village

9. Touring the Kirtland Temple

10. Going to Cedar Point!! The #1 Roller Coaster Park in the Country :)

--This ride is the fastest and tallest roller coaster in the world. Cory convinced me to go on it and as I was sitting in my chair waiting to go I regretted my decision. It was terrifying. Sometimes the cars don't make it over that little top.....thankfully ours did.

We had so much fun in Ohio and we were sad to leave.

Now it's time to go back to school and back to work....

Thanks Ohio for the memories :)

Oh Summer!

I want Summer to stay forever. I can't believe July is almost over?! We had such a fun 4th of July with Cory's family. We went to a street carnival, had a family BBQ, saw Toy Story 3, went out to dinner and had so much fun watching Dustin and Kimball fire off fireworks. We also got invited by our best buds Mal and Paul to go to the Stadium of Fire to see Carrie Underwood.

So many people!

These two get married in less than a month!! Can't wait

My handsome husband, I just love him so much :)

Hanging out with the boys

Cory took his mom on a scooter ride

August brings going home for Mal and Paul's wedding and then Cory and I are headed out to Ohio!!!
