Oh the Dread!

This is how I feel right now!

So its that crappy time every two weeks when I have to go grocery shopping. Its not really the shopping part that I dread so much its the meal planning. It seriously gives me a headache and takes me like two days to plan meals for two weeks. I feel like I cook the same things over and over again. Our weekly meals consist of taco salad, grilled chicken, and enchiladas. Its pretty pathetic. So if any of you have any recipes that you love and are some what easy to make please please post them because Im sitting here at my desk scrounging for Ideas.

Wicked!!!!

Okay so last night the play was seriously AMAZING! I have heard so much about it and knew it was going to be good, but I didnt realize all the factors that come into place to make it so amazing. First of all the main characters were so great in their roles. Their voices were so beautiful and the Glinda seriously had Jake and I rolling on the floor of Laughter. She was so funny and so animated. The transitions during the play were another big thing that blew us away. Its so amazing how they can be singing and dancing and at the same time get in position for the next scene without even realizing it, that takes some serious organization. There was this really cool scene where Elphaba flies and it was so cool to see how they pulled it off, they dimmed all the lights and some black curtain thing was around so it looked just like the backdrop and then the lights only hit her green face. I dont know if I explained that very well but it was really cool. I really hope that later down the road the opportunity will come again that I can go again because it was seriously every penny.
Oh ya and you will notice that in all the pictures we have my whole family except Jake is missing...well he had a presentation to give in class at Weber last night and it was a final thing so he couldn't miss out. If you come just a couple minutes late they wont let you in. He seriously walked in at 7:28 and almost gave me a heart attack.
Anyways sorry to rub in the play for those of you that weren't able to go but it was great and if you ever get the opportunity take it!!!!

Slacker

Im sorry I have been a huge slacker this month on blogging. We have been really busy but just not around to take pictures so I have kinda been behind but here is a little update of what we have been up to. Last weekend we went to St. George for the Luv2Dance competition. We werent going to go but its kinda become a tradition with our families over the years so Friday night after work we decided to drive down, way last minute but we were so glad we went. The weather was a beautiful 80 degrees, and it was so fun to be able to relax in the sun!
Everything with the house is going smoothly but slowly. We met with the builder 2 weeks ago and made the adjustments to the floor plan we wanted to make which made us even more excited to get the process started. Now we just have to wait for the changes to be made and sign the plans so they can start digging. We are hoping that this will all happen in the next two weeks. Our landlord put our townhome up for rent so its just a matter of someone interested and then we can move out, and save some money living in my parents basement wahoo!! We actually are really excited we loved living there when we were first married. If anyone is looking for a place to rent please let me know! Its a perfect first home old and rusty but its been great for us.
Jake has one week left of school and then finals!!!!! We are so ready for the summer, and im so excited for school to be out so I can spend sometime with my honey, and hit the lake!
Tonight we are going to go see Wicked with my Family and we are stoked! We have been waiting for this day to come for so long. My parents bought the tickets last June and then gave them to us for Christmas gifts. I will definitely be taking pictures and will have lots to say about it tomorrow!
Hope all is well with everyone!

Snowboarding!

Saturday Alle and I decided to hit the slopes at Snowbasin! We had a blast! The weather was perfect I couldnt have asked for it to be any better! The beginning of the day it was kinda cloudy and was snowing a little bit but not enough to make us cold at all. The snow fabulous for being April and by the afternoon the sun was out and we were attempting to get a sun tan. As you can see I have been quite the hermit lately and my face is ghostly without makeup especially when you get next to someone who has hispanic in them that doesnt help much haha. But we can had a blast it was the perfect day to get in one last run before the season is over!

New Home

Big Surprise!! Jake and I are buying a home! We have kinda been really quite about this for the last couple of months because we werent sure if everything would lay out exactly how we wanted it to. But it all has worked out perfectly and it is obvious that it is time for us to get away from the renting disaster and be in our own place! We put in the offer today for a twin home in Layton! They arent built yet so the best part is that we get to pick out all the colors and upgrades we want to do. We can even rearrange some of the floor plan. Below is a slide show of some of the picks we took of the model home. It will have a similar idea but the colors on both the outside and inside will be different and some of the floor plan will be changed but we are so excited. They break ground in 3 weeks and then it will take 4 to 5 months to build so looking at September we will be on our way to a new home! We will definately be posting pictures of the whole building process so keep your eyes open for that. It feels good to finally get the word out it has been all Jake and I have talked about for the last couple months. Thinking it would never really happen but it is Yay!!!!!!!
