just putting it out there.

I am okay with any holiday that celebrates love. I think its wonderful and I would give up many holidays before I would throw this one away. I'm so thankful for the people I love. And of course the people that love me. The holiday is extra special knowing that two years ago was the day husband proposed. I love that man.

One

Last week we got invited to go on a trip to LA. We had a really good time. Husbands mom flew out there and we went to a lot of business meetings and got to sit in on some cool business ventures. Husbands sister met up with us and we had a really fun time. We spent a lot of our time in beverly hills. We went to Art Linkletters house. It was amazing to see him. He is 98 but still has some good kick. Except for when he was showing us the backyard and the pants fell to the ankles. (He is the guy who used to be on kids say the darndest things) Oh and he brought the hoola hoop to america which I really thanks him for that. We have some really exciting trips coming up and we coordinated them while we were there. Oh and husband is getting into listening to motivational speakers wayyy to much. I find my not singing along to lady gaga but instead reciting the ten steps to success. I miss the jo bros.

I just got the Droid. I have never been so obsessed with anything like this. Its the new phone from verizon. My poor husband hasn't seen me in about a week. I would recommend it to anyone. I feel so cool about my new upgrade. I really love my phone even if it does remind me of aliens :/

Three

I have officially worked at Tucanos longer than any server. Not only does this make me feel old but it also makes me feel like the 9042384 people I have seen come and go know something more than I do. Like its a good idea to leave? Someday...

Christmas was especially wonderful this year. We went to California to visit my family and to get some of the 75 degree weather that we have been aching for. We have a tendency of living like kings and queens on vacation and this trip was no exception. We went to the beach, padre game, knotts berry farm, and golfing. It was one of the first times we didn't have to hurry home for school or homework catch up. Thanks family for the really wonderful Christmas.

Five

I loved decorating for Christmas. We weren't planning on getting a tree this year because we were going to be out of town so much. We ended seeing charlie (the tree) and fell in love with him. He worked so well in our home. We have made it a tradition every Christmas to get an ornament that reflects one of the biggest accomplishments of the year. It was neat to see them on Charlie. I love the holidays.

Don't you just love the piano?

Dont worry about the messy home.

Six

Husband and I got a new calling in church. We used to teach the five and six year old and now we moved to the sunbeams aka three and four year old. And our class tripled in kids. We are excited about the change but will miss our old class terribly. Although it did make me feel a little better when one of the girls in my old class told everyone including her new teachers that she liked the Weekes better. We trained her well.

Seven

We got a baby grand piano. She is stunning. Thanks to my wonderful mom. We gave up our kitchen table (who really uses those anyway). Its a tight fit but I think she is perfect. I started piano lessons again. I love our new addition.

Eight

We graduated. Although I do catch myself wearing UVU gear more than ever :/

Nine

Well we did it. Brother and I went to Vegas and did the Rock N Roll marathon. We were hoping to get a little more rock and a little less roll. And it worked! It was an amazing experience. There were about 30 thousand runners. I placed 12,278 which I was happy about. They shut the entire vegas strip down. Besides having to run a mile to get to the starting line torture and the unexpected 32 degree weather torture and realizing at the starting line that my i pod was dead huge torture. I was really happy I did it. I only ran with brother for a little while until we realized I was really slowing him down. But we both finished which was the real goal. And added bonus I learned where all the elevators were on campus because I couldn't walk for days after. My entire family showed up for support which was greatly appreciated.

Top 10- ten

It's no secret that my blogging has not been up to par. Husband and I have had so much going on lately I thought I would mention the best 10 things that has happened lately. Starting with number 10. Happy birthday husband! Usually husband likes to ski every year for his birthday but with lack of snow I had to be creative. We celebrated by rock climbing, going to a 3-D movie, checking out some reindeer and light show, going out to dinner, and the festival of trees. Everything was a hit. Oh and I don't even mind that when we were rock climbing he only talked about skiing.
