This blog isn't called the crazy lives of newlyweds for nothin. . .

Sorry folks, I know it's been awhile, but when you have a schedule like Sean and I, blogging isn't such an easy task!
Alrighty, update time. . .

Sean: made it through his 50th semester of school (thank goodness) and ended upwith pretty good grades. He is working for pinnacle security (however, currently working from home saving hundreds of dollars in gas money not to mention the ware and tare on his car). Speaking of Betty, poor thing is strugglin to even make it to summer. Sean had to replace the fuel injection regulator today.  Sean has a ping pong tournament at work and has gone through 4 of 5 guys to obtain the ultimate prize, a $25 gift card of our choosing.  4 down, 1 to go.  In the words of Sean's brother Kevin, "Who says ping pong can't get you anything." Lol. With Sean's working situation we had to buy a desktop computer $cha ching$.  It's really nice.  Sean likes it because it's an hp, runs quickly, and has a big monitor; I like it cuz it's Black :)

Brooke:  No longer a teenager thank you very much!  Sean surprised me by taking me snowboarding for my birthday!  It was so much fun, awesome b-day present! I got a GREAT job working at Amber Rene Salon in Sandy!  I absolutely love it, couldn't ask for a better job!  My phone went for a swim in the toilet not too long ago, hope it had a grand ol time in there! So now I'm using a phone where I can barely figure out how to get to my contacts but that's alright it calls and texts what else do i need? 

 


Both:  We recently joined at Gold's Gym for a killer deal, and really like it!  Next time you see me I'll be looking like this:


And Sean will be looking like this:

Introducing:
A man's best friend or should I say friends: PUPPIES!!  The past few month's Sean and I have had the pleasure of dog-sitting! We love DOGS!  First up. . . our good friend Diesel!  and I'm not talking about expensive gas.  He does however have gas, oh wait that's Bruno, we'll get back to him later:)  Diesel is one cuddle buddy, we got the chance to dog sit him when my Aunt's fam went to California!  He is so cute, here's some of his best model poses: 


Next up: Bruno and Bella

These two cute dogs are full of life and personality, Bruno likes to sit on anyone he sees, and Bella is a beautiful princess!  We had so much fun with these two, from their morning loves to Bruno's evening toots! They were so good and so fun to be around!  We were able to watch them when my boss Amber and her family went to San Fran for spring break!  They did everything with us, watched movies, eat breakfast, followed us around the house, and snuggled!  Here's their photo op:



 
 



Last but not least: Sadie

Sean's parents were in town for Sean's brother, Kevin's graduation so we had the opportunity to watch her.  she is the sweetest little thang.  We love Sadie and when she comes to visit us!! 

 



Aww. . . Have I mentioned that we LOVE dogs?  They're our favorite!  So if any of our 2 blog  followers need a dog sitter, we're your couple:)

In more recent news:
Kevin got engaged. . . 4 hours ago:)  We are so happy to have Jessica join the fam, she's perfect for Kevin!  So happy for those two!  The date is set for July 22 in the LA temple, can't wait!  We are so excited for them that we're even having them for dinner on Saturday! 

we got to see Ryan's family when Kevin graduated from Byu!  Great to see them, love when family comes to town an excuse to eat out and play lots of games (what could be better)

   

Spring Cleaning time:  we probably had way too much fun going through all of our clothes. . . found some interesting things along the way!  Sean found this precious gem hidden away, apparently i was frustrated with the silly thing's sleeves falling off the hanger:

Picture says it all. . . HA HA

Here's the final donation:

Almost 30 pounds. . .yes Sean weighed it:)

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:

My parents took a lot more pictures on their camera so I'll have to get the rest from them, but that was our trip in a nutshell.  So much fun, i want to go back. . . TODAY!!
