Hello Everyone,
I feel like it's been forever since I've been able to post. I'll try to make this a short post, but there's lots to post about, so hang in there!!!!
On the 21st, I started working at Wal*Mart. I was so nervous to be working full time again, scared that I wouldn't get out of bed on time (I have to be there at 7 AM) and worried that I wouldn't like it. I talked to Victor about it, and he, of course, reminded me that I needed to have a good attitude about it. So when I woke up, and went in, I decided to make the best of it. The people I work with are AWESOME. Well, most of them are. There are some that are frustrating to work with, but they are good people. The first couple days were hard because even our bosses didn't exactly know what we were supposed to be doing. One would tell us to do one thing, and then the other would come and tell us not to do that, and to do something else. It was so frustrating...but now we got it figured out. Me and a couple other girls have been put in charge of some things, and then just left to finish it by ourselves, and it's so nice. It's nice to be trusted to do it right the first way, and it's nice to not have the bosses watching over our shoulders every step of the way. Today we were working in the baby section, and at first it made me so baby hungry, but then they put us in the nursing section, and that made the hungriness leave. Victor was very glad for that. :)
I've struggled a little bit with the house work and cooking and cleaning and stuff like that, but I'm learning to deal with it. This week I have been so emotional and moody, but it's getting better. I'm starting to enjoy the work more, and getting out of bed isn't so hard when we go to bed early. It makes me wonder how I got up this early when I went to bed at 1 or 2 AM. HAHA. Oh well.
Saturday was sorta a sad day. Victor was up at Fish Lake doing Search and Rescue training, and I stayed home and cleaned our house that DESPERATELY needed to be cleaned. So while I was cleaning I decided to change Blue's (our fish) water. After I changed it he was going crazy in the bowl. Swimming into the rocks, and the side of the bowl, and then an hour later I picked up his bowl so I could dust under it, and he didn't move. He was gone :( I almost cried while I flushed him down the toilet. It was a sad day.
I found out that my parents are coming to visit in March! I'm so excited! WOOOOO!
Also....Jake and Heather had their baby! YAY! He's so stinkin cute! I can't wait to meet the little guy. I'll post pictures of him a little later! They named him Benjamin Andrew Granneman. He was born on 2-24-11. CONGRATS!!!!!
So that's a little of these past couple weeks! I'll try to get on here more often to post more stuff!!! I hope everyone is doing well!!!

Valentine's Day
First of all, I just have to say that I love, LOVE LOVE Valentine's Day!!! A few years ago I couldn't stand the day. I had never had a good one before I started dating Victor, and he has made the 2 we've been together, AMAZING!
Well...I should get back to work. I start working at Wal*Mart on Monday, so I'll try to post as much as I can from now on.
Have a WONDERFUL weekend! :)

| Victor's Basket |
So...I was going to finish Victor's gift Saturday while he was at work, that way I wouldn't be interrupted when he came home from lunch...BUT he had planned a snow shoeing trip, and he wanted me to go with him, so all of the things I had to do on Saturday, got put on hold. BUMMER. But I just figured I could do it Monday morning while he was at work, so I wasn't too stressed. Monday I woke up, and made heart shaped pancakes...well I tried to make them, but they didn't turn out too well. haha, oh well. it's the thought that counts...RIGHT?! Anyways, I went and checked my phone and I had a message from my Friday job asking me if I could come in because the other girl was sick. I started to get VERY stressed. I had to much to do, and not a lot of time to do it in. I called him back and told him I could come in, but I had things I had to do that morning, and I could come in after lunch. He said that was okay, so I hurried and got dressed, and then started running around trying to get Victor's gift done. I had some ideas, but i wasn't exactly sure what I was going to do, but Wal*Mart and Dollar Tree to the rescue! I made him a gift basket that had a bunch of things he likes in there. It had a puzzle, a SUDOKU book, some cookies I made, and some other candies that he likes. I ended up bringing everything to work to put it all together. I was so excited to give it to him when he got home from work.

When he did get home I gave him the basket, but he didn't open it right away...he took me out to dinner! YAY for not cooking, and not cleaning up! I was so excited! We went out to Hoovers up by Marysvale. it was SOOOO good. Then we went to a redbox and got 2 movies for FREE~!!! WOOOOO and then we also went bowling for FREE!! Not a bad Valentine's day date since we only paid for dinner!!! Then on the way home we drove around looking for more houses to look at, and then went home. When we got home there was a package on the doorstep, and he said "it's about time it was delivered." When I opened the box there were BEAUTIFUL flowers in there. Tulips! They are so pretty! It was such an amazing night. I'm sooo spoiled!
Anyways, these last couple weeks we've been going to the gym, and it's been fun. We like being able to go together, and I'm getting better at the running thing. I still haven't lost any of the weight I want to, but hopefully it will happen soon. I'm getting a little discouraged, but Victor's right there to cheer me on!
Have a WONDERFUL weekend! :)

The Day of Love
Hello Wonderful people!
This week has been sorta an interesting one. But first...I NEED HELP!
As you all know Valentines Day is on MONDAY...and I don't know what to do for my husband. We agreed that we weren't really going to do anything this year since things are a little tight, but I can't help it. I love telling him that I love him, so Valentines day has become one of my favorite holidays. I'm thinking about MAKING him a gift basket full of stuff he likes...but it has to be CHEAP.He loves homemade cookies and brownies, but we don't have the stuff to make them. I was going to go to the Dollar Store and get some things to put in it, but I'm not sure what. And of course there will be mushy stuff, like a coupon for a massage, and what not..you know, the normal mushy married stuff. So if you have any ideas I would GREATLY appreciate it!!! Thanks in advance! :)
So, now to this week! Lets see....it's not really as eventful as I thought it was. haha. I guess when I actually have things to do, it feels super busy compared to me doing nothing!
Victor has decided he's going to run a marathon in April, so in order for him to get into shape we GOT GYM PASSES! Finally! We've both been dying with it being winter and not being able to get outside and do much. So Wednesday we went to the gym for the first time in forever. It was so fun to be able to do it together. I'm so out of shape it's horrible, but it's fun to work on it. He jumped on the treadmill and ran like 4 miles, and then complained how hard it was. MADE ME SICK! right now I struggle to run 1 mile. BLAH! then we did weights and what not. It was SOOOO fun. We're going back tonight, and I can't wait. While we were there I decided to weigh myself...BAD idea. I weigh 5 more pounds than I thought I did, and I blame Lori, my sister in law. haha. We were at her house this weekend for a baby blessing, and when I came back I had gained 5 pounds. haha, Anyways, I'm gonna get down to my goal weight before the end of the summer. Wish me luck.
I also had my orientation at Wal*Mart this week, and it was HORRIBLE!!! It took like 6 hours, and it was all the same stuff over and over again. LAME! Oh well, we have it figured out that we can save at least 2000 extra dollars while I'm working there, so its worth it.
Anyways, that's our week! I hope you all had a great week. And remember to tell all of the people you love, that you love them!!!!

We're Grown Ups Now
THATS RIGHT!!
We're house hunting again, and it's soooo much fun! I love driving around looking at houses we might possibly be able to buy. We try to guess how much they are asking for it, and we're NEVER right! haha.
Our contract with our house now is up in July, and we're wanting to buy a little starter home so we can paint (when I say we, I mean I), plant grass (our backyard now is just dirt and weeds), and call it ours! We are probably gonna start talking about actually having a baby around the same time, so we're looking for a house that we can keep warm in the winter (our house now is so old we have it set to 58, cause even when its set higher than that, it doesn't get warmer), and a house that I can put a nursery in! I'm so excited! We've found a couple that we like, that would actually be less a month than we're paying in rent right now, but they are older houses that don't have new windows, which means a super high gas bill. So we're still looking. We found a Town Home that is super nice, it's a 3 BD 2 BA but it would be just like living in an apartment, and it doesn't have a yard, which means still no puppy. :( So for now, we drive around looking at houses we're not gonna buy, but we love having the time we can spend together just driving and looking. We eventually want to be in one of the smaller towns on the outskirts of Richfield, but we're pretty much only looked in Richfield so far. We've sorta drove around the outer towns, but not really. We only have Sundays with day light that we can go look, and looking for a house in the dark is harder than you would think.
Here are some of the links for some of the ones we've looked at so far. Leave your comments and tell me what you think of them. They are nothing too exciting, but we're exciting about moving!!!
Anyways. I got a job yesterday. Working at Wal*Mart, just temporarily. They are remodeling the store down here, and they need people for about 3 months to help with it. So I'll be working full time for a few months. I'm excited...sorta. I'm not that excitied to be working at Wal*mart, but I'm excited to have a job and to not be sitting at home by myself all day long!
Well, I better get going for the week! I hope you have a wonderful weekend! :)
