From SNOW to SUN, what a glorious transition that was:)

This past new years, my family set flight to sunny Honolulu, Hawaii!  It was such a fun trip, it consisted of playing on the beach, pearl harbor, north shore, turtle bay, the temple, Polynesian culture center, Diamond head, hanauma bay, going to a Luau, cocoa puff cream puffs, lava flows, purple bread, surfing, the best snow cones in the world, and lots and lots of good eating!  This was definitely a trip Sean and i will always remember. 
The fun started when we caught a flight from salt lake to San Francisco.  We got into San Fran. a little late and BARELY caught the flight to Hawaii. It all worked out perfectly because that flight was delayed because of door malfunctions.  It was a blessing to make that flight and to not be stuck in San Fran over night.  We arrived in beautiful Hawaii right as the New Year fireworks were going off!!  It was a site for sore eyes!  I swear they have more fireworks on New Years, than we have on the 4th of July.  Our hotel was prefect as it overlooked the beach.  We stayed in three different hotels in a matter of 10 days.  We all got a great tan as we layed out over the week and a half, some more than others :) 

Here are a few pictures of our trip:

Christmas in FaBuLoUs Las Vegas

Christmas was a lot of fun this year, it was spent at Sean's parents house in Las Vegas.  It consisted of a lot of goood eating, going to the temple, playing with the nieces and nephews, doing lots and lots of hair, and playing games.  We also got to go up to a cabin near Cedar City for a few days thanks to Paul!  Sean and I had a really fun and good first Christmas together!

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:
