GRADUATION!!

I never thought this day would ever come, after 14 months, 2000 hrs, and passing both of my state board exams. . . i graduated from Paul Mitchell the School Provo!  oh what a glorious day that was!:)  Don't get me wrong i loved going to school, it was a great place to go and i learned a ton, but after going to school 53 hours a week and driving to Provo from sandy almost everyday. . . i was ready to be done!!  Sadly i didn't get any pictures from my last day of school. . .but Sean surprised me on my last day and gave me this:

I loved it, so cute and i was totally surprised.  However, everyone thought this was an announcement that i was pregnant. . . Actually, one of my learning leaders came up to me and said "congrats, . . . (and i was thinking she meant about graduating) and i replied with a thank you.  she then proceeded to say, "but are you really that far a long to know the sex of your baby, you're not even showing!"  My jaw dropped, ha NO NO NO NO I'm not pregnant. . . !  Anyways I'm sure there are rumors going around the school that I'm pregnant . . .but whatever i don't care because. . .I'm a Paul Mitchell Graduate:))



"Uh Uh Happy Birthday Cinderelli!!" -Gus Gus

On November 10th Sean turned the big 21!!  He had a perfect birthday which consisted of breakfast in bed, an accounting test, pretzel M&M's, dinner with his parents and brother Paul at Salt City Burger (one of our faves) and molten lava cake for dessert at Paul's house!  This was the first breakfast in bed he's ever had (Hawaiian French toast mmm) and he got a 96 on his accounting test. Whoo hoo!  He was so happy his parents were in town on his birthday.  It was a pretty good fun day!

 Yes,

 i did give him. . .

 a Wii! 



Las Vegas Honeymooners!

Our honeymoon was spent in Las Vegas and it was so much fun! we stayed at the MGM Grand hotel, and our room was way awesome that had a pretty good view of the strip.  We didn't take many pictures, i've never really been good at taking them. Hopefully blogging will get me to take more in the future:)

Dwight Schrute?

My Battery died:(

 

Thank goodness Sean knows how to kick start a car:)

Ding Dong! I'm Getting Married Today!

August 12, 2010 was the day, a day that I nor Sean will ever forget!  It was filled with happiness, laughs, tears, joy, pretty much every happy adjective imaginable!  I loved every minute of it, and think back about that day often.  The temple was absolutely gorgeous.  The reception was perfect!  We couldn't have asked for a better day!  I think pictures are worth a million words so here's a few:

LET IT SNOW, LET IT SNOW, LET IT SNOW!

And oh boy did it snow!!  Last Tuesday, Sean's work sent him home early because supposedly a huge "Blizzard" was going to hit around 4ish!  However, "it" didn't seem to show up until around 6 or 7.  The snow didn't seem to be that bad so Sean and I decided to make a quick trip to walmart to get some necessities. . . (Milk and Bread?)  If any of you know or have seen Sean's car (Betty the Blue Beast)  she doesn't handle snow very well. . . or sometimes even rain believe it or not.  But i had faith in her and so did Sean so off we went to walmart.  Bad idea! Bad idea! Sean and I live on a side of a Mountain which = a TON of Hills!  Going down was fine. . .But that was the least of my worries coming back up is what i was worried about.  As we were leaving Walmart (snow had gotten worse) Sean and i were praying and praying Betty would be able to conquer those nasty hills. . . and by golly. . . she really is a beast, she made it up 2 of the 3 hills.  Just the street we live on she struggled with.  She made it up more than halfway before she started to slip out, gravity started taking its toll pulling Betty down and down.  I got out of the car to sweep off the windows so Sean could kinda see while we were going down hill.  We got to the bottom of the hill and decided to just park the car on the side of the road until the roads were clear in the morning.  Sean did not want to just leave her down there, so he went back down to try again.  When he went to turn the car on. . . Betty didn't start.  The battery was dead. . . luckily we have very very kind neighbors!  The neighbor jump started the car and on she went.  Right after this happened a Snow Plow Guy went down our street. . . open road for Betty!  She made it safely home. . . Thank Goodness!  Oh but wait. . . there's more! (Billy May's Voice)  Remember when i got out of the car to scrape of the windows?  well my keys to MY car were on my lap. . . didn't know this, got out of the car, didn't hear them fall on the ground (duh. . .the SNOW) Sean asked where my keys were . . . course i had no clue.  Then it hit him. . . he set them on my lap when we left walmart and they must have fallen in the snow when i got out. Ah great!  Back in the snow we go!  We looked and looked and looked and looked. . NOTHING!  once again thanks to very very nice neighbors they saw us searching for something and gladly chipped in.  A good 15 minutes went by and still nothing.  Sean went back up to check the car one more time, and WALAAAAA our neighbor spotted them by the wheel of his truck!  It was seriously trying to find a needle in a haystack.  I couldn't believe it!  Now, question is was all this worth it for a gallon of milk and loaf of bread?  UMM . . not necessarily!  But boy what an experience we had.  Sean and I had multiple prayers answered, we got to know our very very kind neighbors, and we found out Betty is shockingly capable of more than what we thought she could handle!

Betty had no idea what she was in for. .

Doesn't look that bad. . . Right?

much needed hot cocoa after that adventure









It's Beginning to Look a lot Like Christmas!

Well, at least it's starting to look like Christmas in the Severts' Apartment:)  This is my first ever blog post and i kinda sorta have no idea what I'm doing...so bare with me:) Ever since I got married back in August I've has at least 13 people tell me i needed to create a blog.  So, after finishing up my 2000 hours at Paul Mitchell and actually figuring out how to work this thing i decided to join the Blogwagon.  After this Post i will Blog about the amazing wedding that occured on August 12, 2010, the honeymoon in Vegas, and Sean's 21st birthday.  That's pretty much all I have to blog so far, considering that last 3 months have consisted of me going to school 53 hours a week and Sean working and going to school full time.. . . not very exciting stuff if you ask me:) 

As of today, i still had Halloween decorations up because i knew if i took them down our apartment would look dull and totally bare.  However, thanks to my Grandma Ross, she called and asked me if i wanted to pick out some Christmas decorations. . . of course i agreed! I knew i would get sick of looking at Ghosts and Pumpkins sooner than later:)  So. . . Here is our apartment so far.. . credit goes to sean for the amazing tree decorating skills (i think he can thank his mom for that one), the icicle lights above the window, the cotton/snow placement, and all the ornaments.  I guess now you're probably wondering what i did. . . I cleaned. . .  and tried to supervise, but sean is a natural:)  

What a cute lil guy. .

Little blurry but the lights look so glowy

And that's all for now!  We love Christmas and we are so happy our place finally looks like it:)
