A NEW ADDITION TO THE FAMILY.......

Devin and I added a new addition to our family! This adorable little Imperial Shih Tzu! We named her LUCY and we absolutely love her so far! We got her Monday night and we have played with her non stop! She is the best puppy ever! She does not bark, shed, chew on things, or make "Messes" on the carpet! She is only ten weeks old and she is so well behaved! She is perfect for us and we are so excited that we have her! All night last night Devin kept waking up wanting to check on her to make sure she was alright! (He is going to be such an incredible daddy) She is great and we just love her!

Easter

Easter was such a blast this year! We had Easter breakfast with the Knudsen family in St. George! Then we decided to head to price. We saw several members of the Keller family and really enjoyed catching up! They are so fun to talk with and it feels like we never see them enough! We got to see Ryan and Heidi's new addition Anna, all the way from Arizona and she is so adorable! We got this adorable picture of our niece Katie! Isn't she cute?!?! After spending time at the Keller house we went to the Ellis apartment and saw Kara and Jeremy! It had been way too long since we had seen this cute couple and we really enjoyed spending a couple of hours with them! They are so fun and their new place is so cute! I hope everyone had a very happy Easter!

St. George

Devin and I spent a long weekend in St. George. We had such a great time! We left Wednesday night and loved every minute of it! My little sister Kim had a softball tournament and it was fun to be able to watch her play! She rocks! She is only a Sophomore, but she starts Varsity and rocks it! We love her so much and are so proud of her! We had a blast hanging out with our family in the warm weather! Not only did my parents and Kim and Kori go, but Aunt Suzy and Willie were there and Aunt Kelli and Jess and Jordan! Grandma and Grandpa Knudsen even made it down! It was so fun! Thanks everyone for a super fun weekend!

Read Read Read

After I finished the Twilight Series I read this book. Ana's Story By Jenna Bush. It was such a great book. It is about a young girl who was born with HIV. It is a great story and made me very grateful to have grown up with parents who were supportive! I would recommend it to anyone looking for a good book, and it is a very easy read (there are even pictures on every other page).

Purse Tag

Amy tagged me about what is in my purse and here it is.... at least the one that I have been using today! (it changes depending on the outfit because I love purses)

Here is everything that is in my purse, wow can you believe it all fits! First in the book that I am currently reading New Moon, you never know when you are going to have a few minutes to read. Next is my cell phone. A Crystal Light Fruit Punch mix in! Yum! Exotic Coconut lotion from Bath & Body Works. Eclipse mints, because I am not allowed to chew gum, but still get rank breath! Tylenol Extra Strength, you never know when you or someone your with will get a head ache or in my case tooth ache. A travel size Redken hairspray, for the bad hair days! Glide dental floss, I am addicted! My Utah State Planner because I forget EVERYTHING! My sunglasses, yay the sun is finally shining! 2 Sharpie markers, one fine tip and one extra fine tip, if you didn't already know, I love markers way more than pens! My keys, duh! My wallet, unfortunately ZERO money in there! My camera and case! And of course lip gloss, maybe a little addiction!! I have 6 different ones. (4 bath and body works, Cinnamon, Peppermint, Lime, and Cinnamint- different than cinnamon I promise. One Strawberry Lancome and Cranberry Victoria Secret)

TEXAS

Devin and I have been planning on going to Dallas, Texas this summer so Devin could try his hand in security sells. We were excited for this new adventure in our lives, but we have decided to stay home in Logan.

There are many factors playing into this big decision. Some of them include.... Health Insurance, after everything that happened to me last summer I am now high risk for health insurance which means, unless I am on a group insurance plan I am not able to get coverage for less than about $500 a month! So it would be hard to leave Devin's job with benefits.

Devin has decided to change his major to Industrial Hygiene. This is a perfect fit for him and will lead him nicely to pharmacy school, but because of this change he will need to take summer classes to get caught up!

There are so many other little factors, and after much praying and deliberation we have decided to stay.

We feel bad that we missed out on our turn to plan the Keller family reunion, and since Celeste has it already planned we will for sure take our turn next year!

This is bittersweet since we were looking forward to going and having a new adventure, but we are very excited to be able to spend the summer with family!

Karaoke Party

Devin and I went to a karaoke party a few weeks ago with some of our friends! We just got the pictures and you can tell we had a blast! Devin sang a couple of songs and the crowd loved him! Here are the best pictures!
