LIFE...

Well so I thought I would give you all a little update on our lives, since we have been bad bloggers as of late!!
Rand is currently jobless at the moment, but is doing many little odd jobs with his buddy Chase Oborn that I am pretty sure keep them both extremely busy. They are thinking of starting their own business with each other. Are you all ready to hear what this job they came up with is??? CARPET CLEANING.... I know what you are all thinking, who in there right minds would let Chase and Rand clean their carpets?! Or even in their homes... ha ha... But let me just boost their confidence for the moment by saying these two boys are the hardest workers! They put there best into everything they do, and that just goes to show how amazing all their finished products look. In taking up this so called business of theirs they are going through Chase's uncle(Todd) who owns a flooring company to help them with getting started. So cross your fingers that it all works out... They also have recently, and by recently I mean this month, have been helping one of Chases uncles(Mark) with his sprinkling system. These boys came home everyday just dead from all their hard work! Now just to mix things up a bit they are helping Chase's other uncle(Todd) with his warehouse, and carpet tare outs. Its pretty challenging or so I heard about it from Rand last night. The poor boy had a blister on his arms from all the moving of carpet they were doing, but one thing is for sure these boys are getting HUGE MUSCLES!!! ha ha. or at least me and I am sure Katie are looking forward too!! ha ha. Oh yeah and couple things Rand is doing, he is starting with Prime America, its a financial planning company. So hopefully that will be something that will work out for him... Plus he is teaching golfing lessons, so if you or anyone you know could use some, or if you know anyone like myself who is horrible at it, just let Rand know, he is really great at giving lessons!! Matter of fact he is teaching 7 kids next week!! I know it will be so much for them, my little brother always loves going with Rand!

As for me, I am really just loving being a sugar mama! ha ha. Seriously though I have come to terms with working every day through summer, althought its been super hard!! I am currently working for an Life insurance company in down town Salt Lake. I cant really say that I am a huge fan of my job, and I am always keeping my eye out on something closer to home (Fruit Heights). So if any of you know of anything throw me a bone. ha ha. I am also currently becoming quickly obsessed with my latest workout program, the RPM (spin) class at Performmax Gym... it honestly is the best class, and its really getting me into biking, which is a surprise to me. I really never thought I would love biking like that but I happened to fall in love with yet, another excercise program!! I am loving looking at apartments, it will be nice to decorate a place of my own! I cant wait!

Finally... Lake Powell

Can I just say that I wait for this trip to come around every year... I love waking up to the sun, going for an early morning ski with my dad, wake boarding, getting a tan, boating and playing games all day long! This is honestly the family trip that I look forward to every year! This year was even better cause Rand was with me and he made the trip that much more of a blast. Honestly we laid awake at night just watching the stars, one night we even saw one enter the earths atmosphere! We also heard some pretty funny stories that the little kids told as well and the jokes the parents told us! Lets just say we were the the bunt of many of the jokes being "newly weds", but hey we handled it, it was also an anniversary for us, we had been married one month!! That is weird to think that we have been married for that long. I am excited to see what other fun things we have in store for us this year and the many to follow!


This is Taylor and Morgan, they are sisters!! They have another sister that came and her name is Bailey, she is a crazy woman!


This is cutie Ashton and her dad Trevor!!


We all hiked up to this amazing hole in the rock, but on the other side it was a shear drop off. It was really neat to really get to see gods wonderful creations at hand.


This was funny, we let the little kids hang on the boom bar, man oh man i have never laughed so hard. Check out the video!


Then Jenna decide to paint the boys toenails.... they were HOT PINK!!


Of course the boys had to try and kill themselves and do cliff jumping, this was right next to the cave.


We went into this cave and played around inside, it was really neat. One neat thing about Powell this year is the what is rising so fast, we went back a couple days later and this cave was pretty much under water.


This is our nephew Spencer, he learned how to wake board



This is my little Bro, Colter, Wake boarding

This is Ashton, isn't she a cutie?



This was Jenna and I riding behind the boat, mind you my pants and swim suit bottoms kept coming off... it was horrible

Fourth of July!!!

For the Fourth of July, we had an amazing day of parading, dining, fireworks, and fun! We had a weekend of sleepovers with the Oborn's, mixed with some laughter all along the way. A lot of that laughter came as we went to see Baby Mama at Kaysville Theater, haha! Katie, who works for KSL, had to drive the KSL Hummer through the Kaysville Parade. While Madi and Katie rode up front, Chase and I hung out in the back inside of the tinted windows (we didn't want to be seen). We ate some dinner at Firehouse that night and enjoyed the fireworks at Davis High. All in all, it was a great Independence Day and it reminded us of how blessed we are to live where we do and enjoy the blessings that we enjoy. May we all remember how lucky we are...God Bless America!

Honeymoon Pictures...Finally!

I managed to finally get some pictures uploaded on Madi's computer from our honeymoon to Las Vegas, so here they are! We spent most of our time just lounging around and laying by the pool. It was great to escape the stresses of everyday life and wedding planning! We went to see Tony n Tina's Wedding at the Rio, which was entertaining...but they were fascinated with us being LDS and they had tons of questions!! It was a good time though. Hopefully these pics give you an idea of how our marriage is going...AWESOME!

Lake Powell

Lake Powell, here we come!! I cant wait to finally do what i do best.... Tan, swim, layout, wake board, water ski, And just plain have nothing to do but read and chill with friends and family!! I will post some pictures when we get back!! Have a great week!

Best Sporting Event Ever...

Monday played host to what I in all honesty would call the greatest sporting event ever (this is Rand by the way). Tiger Woods went head to head with Rocco Mediate, who at the beginning of the day was ranked 158th in the world. They were playing in an 18 hole playoff for the U.S. Open. At the end of the day,one would be a champion and the other would be forgotten. I myself thought Tiger would roll right past him for his 14th major championship. I was in for a treat... The first ten holes played out as I expected, with Tiger jumping out to a 3 stroke lead after birdies at the 6th and 7th holes, and an unlikely par putt from the fringe on number ten. I thought it was over...Rocco battled back, however, as Tiger made a few rare mistakes. When Rocco birdied the 14th hole to pull even with Woods, the tension in the gallery was thick enough to cut with a knife. Rocco then kicked up the tension one more notch when he birdied fifteen to take a one stroke lead with three holes to play. They both parred the 16th and 17th, but once more Tiger displayed his heroics with a birdie on 18, forcing a "playoff playoff." On the first playoff hole, Tiger pulled away with a par which was good enough for his third U.S. Open title and fourteenth major championship. As for me, my heart was pounding for the last five or six holes. As an avid golfer myself, I was eating it up. I have to say that was the greatest U.S. Open I've ever seen and I'm brave enough to say it's also the best sporting event I've ever witnessed. Thank you Tiger and Rocco for giving us all a show that is sure to be remembered!

Tiger Does Again What He Does So Well

Tiger celebrates after draining a 66 foot putt for an unlikely eagle at the par five 13th.


Even Tiger realizes that his hole-out at the 17th was beyond his control.


Tiger calmly pumps his fist after draining yet another eagle putt from 40 feet at the par five 18th to take a one stroke lead.



For anyone who is a golf fan, or even if you arent you have to admire Tiger Woods. Yeasterday he stormed back from a five shot deficit, with two eagles, one birdie on his final nine holes of the day. Although his hole-out on 17 was pure luck at best, who else would we have expected it from than Tiger himself. Even he couldn't believe what just happened. And if that wasn't enough to wow the fans in attendance at Torrey Pines, he smashed a drive down the middle on 18 despite his ailing knee injury. His second shot, a 225 yard 5-wood left him with about forty feet for eagle. His heroics continued as he snaked his putt down the ridge with a five foot break straight into the heart of the hole. This final charge on Saturday left him with a one stroke lead over Lee Westwood. Considering Tiger has never lost a major when he leads going into Sunday, this U.S. Open looks like it may be over. Tiger's knee is getting worse day by day, however, so Sunday looks more exciting than any major in history. The final round should play out with all the drama that we have been hoping for from Tiger and the rest of the field.

Updates!!

Hey everyone, so I know that I have been a lame blogger for the past little while, but just know that our lives have been really crazy, and turned upside down!! Ha ha. I mean we get married next friday and I swear we still have so much to do. Everything though is going great, I'll fill you in on whats currently happening in our lives!

Rand is currently working for Horizon Financal, and is learning all the tricks and trade of the industry. He is still golfing as much as possible, matter of fact he just went yesterday up to midway to golf, and spent all morning up there. He will never let it go, and I wouldnt want him to as long as he buys me some pink golf clubs and a pink bag I am pretty sure I would learn to love it!(plus I wont make him quite like everyone thinks) He is getting super excited for next friday, if I havent scared him away just yet. ha ha. He has been a really big sweetheart when it comes to helping me with the wedding, seriously he even went and picked up my birth control for me cause I didnt have time!! It was hilarious!

As for myself, I am just up to getting everything ready for next weekend. I feel like its all come up so fast, I never thought time would just pass by like it has! I swear that I never have time to do anything, and Rand has been great to step up and help me whenever I need it. I currently work full time at an Insurance company down in Salt Lake, and I still work for the Utah Jazz on the rare occasion that I dont have anything else to do with the wedding!ha ha! Life is going great other than that, Rand and I are going to be living with his sister for a little bit, which is the kindest thing anyone has ever done for me. We are so excited to live with them, they are hilarious. As for everything else, life is just cruising on by! We really enjoy hanging out with our dear friends Katie and Chase Oborn, we are in a constant laughing ring when we all hang out. They are great!!

Honestly we are super excited to just have the BIG day here! I hope everyone is doing great and we love you all!!
