Wow life has been crazy. I got my cert 2 weeks ago and all the sudden my days start at 4 am and go until 10 pm. Its stressful and crazy but surprisingly I love it, I feel like I have found my thing. Ya know the thing that you spend your whole life looking for that your really good at, enjoy, and could do it the rest of your life. (I may just be really excited because its the only new thing in my life right now), but its been so fun to build these relationships with people where they put all their trust in you to help them change their lives. They call and text you at all hours of the day asking for questions on what to eat, and what shoes to buy. I love feeling appreciated and on a side note I am damn good at personal training!

Im still looking for new clients so if anyone knows anyone that may be interested please let me know, and we can come do a free assessment for them!!

New Gig

So life has been insanely crazy. About a week before school started I decided to change my schedule from 15 credits to 3 credits because Keaton approached Jake and I about a new idea he had for a company called MoFit which is short for mobile fitness. The company is in home fitness training where the trainers bring all the equipment and the fitness plan to the clients home. Its been so exciting for Jake and I because we are getting ownership in the company for doing all of the marketing and I am going to be one of the trainers. I am so so excited. Fitness has been such a huge part of my life over the last 2 years and I have grown such a love and desire to learn. So I shortened my schedule and for the last three weeks I have been working on my NASM Cert which is one of the hardest personal training certifications you can get. I plan to take my test the 1st week in October and have seriously been cramming my brain with as much information as it can hold. But I love It. I am so excited for this new opportunity and to help people change their lives.

Its been crazy the response we have gotten from this program its almost like people have been dying for someone to come up with this idea so they could receive all the benefits of training but not have to suffer embarrassment from the gym, or try and find a baby sitter, but best of all this program has been motivating for people to get in shape knowing once they set the appointment there will be a trainer at their door and ready to inspect their cupboards for any junk that doesnt allow for their fitness plan.

So friends and family spread the word and if you come across anyone who is interested please let me know. Pricing is really inexpensive for training and we do a free first assessment.

Seriously made my day

Oh my gosh I have been crying of laughter all day long, and those of you who are family and know my grandparents I hope will be also.

So this is a screen shot of a pic the D'ettes took at a football game and posted it in their albums on facebook. I love how my very supportive grandparents showing up to all of our activities ended up being tagged as "cute old couple" on the D'ettes profile.



All they wanted to do was watch Carter play football... I think this will be in our family forever!! I need to get this printed and put in our family album.

GO UTES!!!

Holy Cow I have no clue how I am at work right now, I am so stoked about the game today and my mind is only focused on 1 thing. I love the Utah Games and I am so excited to see how this season will turn out being in the Pac 12. Good things are about to come our way. I put on my facebook page this morning and its so true ever since I put my new shirt on this morning I have been singing the Utah song in my head haha . My dad would be so proud. Him and my family are all leaving at 3:30 to go tailgating.. is that dedication or what.

Have a great day everyone!

Cubicles

Agh... Can I just tell you how much I hate cubicles. Right now our sales office is in a entrepreneur launch office and I am in a cubicle along with 40 other new businesses and it is so distracting listening to other peoples conversations when they have nothing to do with what you are trying to work on. The worst is when they have a conference call on the speaker phone. Its 10:16 and the head phones are already on.

I know all I do is blog about work, I guess its because I kinda feel confused and not sure where this job is going to take me. If only I had the glass globe to show me what I am supposed to be doing. When I first started at Sage Displays the whole idea was that I would help Dave and Tammi run and build this company. Well business has been SO SLOW and now all the sudden I have become the Project Manager instead of just doing everything. So the things that were keeping me busy all day is not part of my responsibilities, and I have nothing to do because there aren't enough jobs coming in to keep me busy. I guess only time will tell until I know what I really need to be doing.

On a side note thanks Whit and Chels for your suggestions, we actually just went to Loews about the concrete stain and they told us everything we needed to get the job done. We are going to start it this weekend so ill have to post some picture.

PS I am really starting to dread Tuesdays: Leg Day! I seriously almost puked at the gym today. Stupid Keaton taught me not to stop doing legs until 1 you collapse, or 2 puke. Mission accomplished.

So today it is now 12:08, Tammi called me at 8:00 to say that they were shipping a clients display and will be in shortly.... hmm still not here. My computer is a P.O.S and wont start so here I am on my laptop full of frustrations and desperately feeling like its time for a change. How do you grow a small business when your resources are limited and the only one motivated.

This is to hope of better days!

We are finally finishing my parents basement and walls are up and ready to paint but the next step is the floor. We are going to stain the concrete which will look so awesome but we do have a problem of not knowing where to start.. Any ideas??

PS Im not trying to complain... just extremely bored!

Meeting last week was very interesting and not so much what I had expected. Looking at my last post and then reliving the actual experience its quite comical. Picture 250 completely wasted women in mini skirts, and music. Haha not quite the environment I was expecting and really quite a waste of time. What I was expecting was completely based off of Tammi's experience last year and after the drastic change of this year I think we both decided that it is really not worth our time or money next year. I did however make some new friends the hope is that they will remember me next time I see them.

The last two weekends we have been up at my grandparents cabin. Can I just tell you how beautiful and green it is up there is Heber City. It still amazes me that there is still snow up on the very top of the mountains and summer is almost over.

Today is my non-motivating day, and my bosses are driving me crazy. I think sometimes its unhealthy to spend this much time with a married couple that are always HAPPY... and I could be slightly tired and cranky...

Have a great day!!

Bad Blogger

I cant believe it has been an entire year since I have last blogged. Jake always tells me I need to take pictures more often which is probably one of the main reasons I stopped blogging, and because life has changed so much I just didnt think to stop and document. But really life is great, Jake and I have changed so much in the last year its crazy to look back and think what last summer was like. We each have new jobs and actually feel like we are starting a career, which is exciting, but also kinda intimidating.

Tonight my boss and I are attending a banquet for the Salt Lake Chamber where there are going to be over 300 successful women, to be completely honest I am freaked out. I have never been very good with girls and I am noticing more often the more events I attend people give me the look like "what is this teenager doing at an event like this" I feel like my drive and motivation is so much more advance than my looks and the only time I really get intimidated is when I have to network with these wise and advanced successful women who often look at me like a child. I need to find a way tonight to show that I may be young but I am smart and educated, and have a drive and potential to be successful that most people my age never have. One day I will be that hot shot business woman I just really need to get over the fear of how people judge my appearance. I want to be taken seriously, and I want to get a ton of business out of tonight's event.

Well I guess I will let my nerves to keep taking a toll on me. Wish me luck.

By the way hope everyone is doing well. And I will try and do better. School starts soon, 15 credits and working full time might take over my life.

I am sure many of you are wondering where the Heck we have been, well the question my friends is where havent we been. I am happy to say that my summer has been way to busy to spend time in front of my computer blogging (and its also my excuse for just not doing it). We have had such a fun exciting summer and am so sad to see it is coming to an end. Really though it will be nice our poor swamp cooler just cant find a way to keep the small 1000 sqft home cool. We have had our days where we cant step foot in the house, which is probably why we have found many other ways to spend our evenings.

After my last post we headed to Vegas for Keat and Jens 1 year anniversary. We seriously had a blast and learned something new about all of us on that trip.


In June Jake was lucky enough to fill in for someone who got hurt right before Ragnar and couldnt run the race. So Jake without any training came and concured Ragnar Hill (the mother of all hills). He loved it so much that somehow he convinced me to do it next year. I am not a runner so I seriously and wondering what I got myself into but it will be fun, my whole Snow side of the family put together a team and with all of our competitiveness it should be a riot!

(Their team had something to do with underwear)

Over the 4th of July we cruised down to lake Powell with my Fam, I dont think many words to need to said to explain how much fun we had. Lets just say we look forward to it every year, if we had to choose Hawaii or Powell.... it would be Powell!

(for those of you who noticed that I am not in this picture, just know that someone had to keep watch of the boat, and also get a perfect tan while doing so.. it was the only pic I could find of the whole group)

Best news of all....I finally got a Mountain Bike. I have been wanting one for years and years and finally we decided to stop being such tight wads and just buy the dang thing. Its been alot of fun, but also discouraging. I have never realized how difficult it is to ACTUALLY Mountain bike, All I can say is thank you helmet for saving my life haha.




Here are more pics of our summer from the Morgan Property, Jersey loving life (she is such a swimmer I cant believe it. we took her to Willard one weekend and she seriously swam for like 4 hours straight, there is no doubt in my life that if I was in danger should would save me)

(Jerseys BFF for Life.. AKA FLEX)





(Jake got a 22 this year, and I seriously loved it. Hopefully next year I can get one)




Oh and to keep you all updated this weekend we went up to the cabin and Hiked Stewart Falls, It was beautiful probably the best Hike I have ever been on. So all you hikers out there get your butt there before the summer is over because its totally worth the drive to what my family calls it stinky utah county!

Mary Kay Sale

Hey Everyone!

I have decided that I cant keep my Mary Kay inventory anymore. I still am planning on selling it because I still think the product is amazing, but I hope to get all that I have on hand sold and then just place large orders here and there when people need stuff. So with that said, I am selling all of my inventory at 50% off. This really makes your make up and skin care products cheaper then Walmart and you are getting the best of the best. If any of you are interested please let me know. I can give you a free facial so you can test out the products and truely see how amazing they are and also get color matches. Just leave me your number or email address, and I will contact you about a time we can get together. Or feel free to call or text me at 801-499-0143.

Love you all! Sorry for being such a slacker at this blogging stuff.

Holy Molly I am a slacker at this kind of stuff! Can I just start by telling you all how crazy my life has been. I surprised I even get time to sleep. Work is going great! I love my new job. Its been night and day from before. I am constantly busy, its alot more stressful but I love that about it. I have so much more freedom, and can leave whenever I need to which is so nice especially when going to school at the same time. So school has been crazy busy but I cant wait for this semester to be over. I think I kinda overloaded it this time and seriously learned my lesson that if I try to overload myself to get done faster it may prevent me from getting done at all. So next semester its going to be a little different. It may take me longer to graduate but at least I can make it duable so I can at least go to bed with my husband at night!
So this was a very spontaneous decision but I just got a new car! I am so excited and it is seriously beautiful. I havent had time to take any pictures and then it rained today and now its not super shiny but its a 2010 White Toyota Camry. I love it! I have never owned anything brandnew like this before!
This pic is from the toyota website but it looks identical to my car. Besides the cheesy background! I plan to get some black rims and spice it up a bit but I love it!

Anyways thats all for now! Love you all!

New Toy

So last night while I was enjoying a wonderful dinner with my very old best friend, I get home to find Jake has a new toy!



haha my crazy husband thinks he needs a toy for every season! Anyways he decided to trade his snowmobile for this crazy adventurous bike, and we are so excited for summer to come!


PS. I just got my starter kit for Mary Kay and I am so excited. So anyone interested I now have some product and color sheets. But in case you want the real experience there are skin classes on Tuesday nights from 7-8 and Saturday Mornings 9:45- 10:45 its going to be a party!!!!!

Mary Kay

Okay So I have this huge ginormous obsession with Mary Kay! Their products are seriously the best out there. If any of you didnt know their products out sale all of the department store brands, MAC, Clinic, Estee Lauder, etc. and they are almost half the price which to me is sweet!

Okay so there is a reason why I am shouting this out.... I have decided to start selling Mary Kay, I just signed up today and I am so excited. The reason why I signed up is because not only do I think the product is fabulous and I want to be that connection for everyone else to fall in love with my greatest production passion (besides Moroccan Oil-Cocaine for Hair) but I also plan to put all the money I make to pay for my tuition. I dont want to take out loans and I think it would be fabulous to graduate with NO debt!

So anyways heres the scoup if any of you are interested, which I sure hope you are! There are classes on Tuesday nights, and Saturday mornings where you go and have access to all the product and get to find out your favorite shades and see what you like the best. If you cant come to the classes I will soon be able to keep my own stock at home for you all to try!

If your not interested I completely understand there is no obligation I just wanted to throw it out there. But if you could all do me a favor just pass the word along so if there is anyone out there who would be interested they have the opportunity!

I am so excited to be able to get to meet new people and have a hobby other than school and work!!

Love you all! thanks for listening to my spill!

I have to admit, I love rainy days. I love when the sky is super dark and it just rains all day long. Something about it is peaceful and quite. The only thing that makes it difficult is that I have 100 pages of history to read and I keep finding myself drifting off and just wishing I was in bed right now!
So Jake and I are starting P90X March 1st. I am so excited its like consuming my mind, all I do is search on the internet for good deals on weights... the only problem is there isnt any good deals. I didnt realize how flipping expensive weights are like 2 bucks a pound.. yikes! So anyways I think we are just going to do a set with weight plates that you just put on handle bars.. it makes it way cheaper.. but we still need 5 or 10 pound weight plates.. So if any of you out there have any that you would be interested in selling let me know! Ill keep you posted on how the program goes.. I am a little nervous because all I have heard is how intense it is, but really that is exactly what I need. I go to the gym every morning and I feel that no matter what I do it will always be stuck at this certain stage.. so I know for a fact that P90X will take care of that problem and in 90 days I will have a smoking hot body!!!!!!!!!! (thats the plan at least)
Well my friends, hope you all have a wonderful day! Love you all!

i love summer! I cant wait til this crappy weather is gone and I am laying in the sun!

today I have this really bad headache, and ready to go home!

in some ways, i love everything. it's less, it's less of a thing to like, it's less distinct, it's less particular, i like things that i like but i love everything. there’s more choice in like, cos even the worst things have things you love in them. i don’t know what you mean about things i hate…

Whitney Keys,
and Jessica Rodgers

So yesterday was that dreaded time for my poor puppy! Jersey had to get spayed. I used to always think it was so pathetic when people would get so attached to their dogs. I never understood that there really is a connection. I never thought the day would come that I would admit how much I freaking love that puppy! even though my house is covered in black dog hair, everything I own has been chewed up at least once, and she is a money pit! but when it comes down to it nobody can make you feel loved like a dog can! So anyways ya Jersey is my girl and she probably is the reason I have no interest in have children right now, but I am completely happy with that! So after we picked Jersey up she seriously didnt want to make eye contact with Jake and I she was just in so much pain and so sad, she moaped around all last night... Im not really sure how much pain she is in or if she is just looking for sympathy because the dr. said she wouldnt have any energy for like 7 days and today she is just dying to play, so I think she was just trying to make me feel guilty, but it worked!

Wow okay.. So you can call me awful, because I am a complete slacker! I am shocked with myself that my last post was way before Christmas. I guess you could say lately life has just been crazy as ever and really I just havent been in the best moods and the feelings I have felt I just wasnt sure I wanted to post for everyone to see! But I am hoping this will get back to normal! I really just need the sunshine.... a vacation would be wonderful right about now!!!!!!!!!! Im sure many of you can relate but towards the end of January and February seriously are awful months, it just brings me into this depression funk! I get so sick of the cold and snow (right now I am wearing a short sleve shirt with my heater on full blast, Just shows how sick I am of the cold haha).
Okay so this is about to get depressing so beware! Since I last posted alot of crap has happened, my grandma Dyer who I just love so dearly passed away with Alzehimers the week before christmas she was in her mid 60's and had been diagnosed when she was 55. It was time for her to go but I think the hardest thing about it all, is that she was such an amazing woman! She is the one that made my mom who she is today, and I never really got to know her that way! I am exicted to get to know her again though when we are all made perfect in the next life! I love you grandma!!!
Okay So then school started! Yikes! I have my last two gen ed classes to take... Botany and History. Shoot me now! These two classes has seriously taken over my life and I hate them very dearly! I am so against generals right now because when will I EVER use plant science in my life... NEVER! Well I just failed my Botany test and in history I am reading the autobio of Fredrick Douglas.. which is really good but so so depressing and I have to read the whole thing in 5 days.. and also work full time, and keep up with Accounting, Economics, Botany, and my Dinky Computer class. So ya this semester sucks!
Another Stressful thing thats been going on is Gramps just had surgery on his prostate! (any of you who know me really well know that me and my grandma and grandpa snow are really close! We are like two peas in a pod. I think that because my other grandma got sick so young really is what led me to get so close to my Gma and Gpa Snow!) So anyways they found out that 100% of my Gpas prostate had cancer. I seriously was in tears for the whole week I found out, but good news is it's the most common form of cancer and they were able to get it all out, and he is now on his way to recovery!!! He is such a trooper! I seriously think he is invincible and can just take on anything! I am so grateful to have the kind of relationship I do with them!
Okay so this post is seriously dragging on, I know! But I just wanted to end with my one and only bit of good news!
I GOT A PROMOTION! which seriously is the biggest miracle in the face of the earth! I have been begging to get off the phones since the day I started so I am so excited. So I am moving my way to accounting, which will be a good way to help me develop some more skills by the time I do graduate, and I can focus more on the Finance part of my degree! I dont know if I have told anyone but I am applying to the Business Admin program in the fall! So we will see how everything will play out! I think life is about to get a whole lot more stressful because now I wont be able to do homework at work.. So I might just disapear again!
Sorry for the depressing post but at least you have an update!
Love you all!!!!

We are so excited for Christmas to be here! It is crazy how easily this holiday has consumed our lives this month.



Isnt my husband so stinking cute! I love this picture of him. And I love even more the really old wedding picture in the background. My grandma threw one crazy chaotic Christmas party on Sunday. Santa came and tried to sqeeze in one room with 55 other people. Its funny to me how a situation like that where you can barely move, your sweating like crazy, and feel like your going to peuk because your so clastrophobic can become humorous. We had a great time! I love the holidays and my huge crazy families!

I almost forgot to mention. Last Friday Jakes work had an ugly sweater party. I just have to show you how awful my husband looked haha! I wanted to die but he had this outfit planned for like 2 weeks


Unfortunately I do claim him. Tights and all!

Hope you all have a Merry Christmas!!!

Sledding!

So a while back I mentioned that my grandparents bought a cabin up in Timberlakes!Well last weekend happened to be the first really big snow storm up there. We seriously left it with a foot and a half of snow. So we get to brag and say that we were the firsts to sled down the amazing sledding hill! We had a blast the weather was warm the snow was fresh and we had a blast! here are some of our pictures!


haha He always wanted to pose for a magazine!



I love this picture of Paige!

Temple Square

Im sure you all can agree with me when I say temple square is amazing! I love seeing how big of an attraction it is to members and nonmembers. The Salt Lake temple during Christmas time is amazing, and so extremely beautiful!


Jake thinks its kinda corny that I like to take a picture at this spot every year, but he clearly doesn't understand how big of a deal it is when the love of her life asks her to marry him. This was the exact spot, and I will continue to take a yearly picture because that night will forever remain in my head!

With the way I have been blogging lately you probably wont hear from me until after Christmas so hope everyone has a Merry Christmas! Love you all!
