ABC Pediatric Dentistry!! I have always dreamed about working at a pediatric office and feel so lucky to have gotten this job. Let me tell you how it came about. :) I was looking through th Herald Journal (the logan newspaper) and saw a job opening in the classifieds for a receptionist at a dental office. I have never been a receptionist, just an assistant for 5 years at various offices, but that didnt stop me, I still wanted to apply. I faxed my resume and the next day I got a call for an interview. Went to the interview Wednesday and there were about 9 other girls interviewing that same day. Interview went good and I fell in love with the ABC office and staff. They said they would be calling in the next few days to set up a second interview so low and behold I got a call Friday and set up an interview for today. I went in today and Dr. Allen asked which job I'd more prefer the receptionist (which was full time), or an assisting job (part-time) I couldn't resist and of course chose assisting! He said he had 78 applicants and only interviewed five today. I will be working 3 days a week which will be perfect with my school schedule. Wow am I lucky or what?!?! :) I can't wait to start. Just had to share the good news with everyone. Off to make eggplant parmesan for dinner and celebrate with my hubby!!

Brigham City Temple Groundbreaking

Saturday July 31st was such an amazing day. This was the day that the ground would be started for the building of the Brigham City Temple! My morning started super early. (The night before was the Lady Antebellum and Tim Mcgraw concert) We didnt get to bed till after 1am, and I had to wake up at 6am Saturday to make it to Brigham by 730am. It was more than worth it though. It was the most beautiful morning. I just remember how pretty and peaceful it seemed. My cute friend Erin that I use to work with at Dr. Wahlen's office let me tag a log with her and her family to the groundbreaking. We were so suprised that there weren't more people there. We brought along camp chairs and just sat as close as we could. We got to hear Russel M. Nelson speak, as well has President Boyd K. Packer and his sweet wife. They talked about ways we can start preparing for the temple here in Brigham City by talking with our families about temples, making sure they know how important it is to be sealed as a family for time and all eternity and how we should make it a bigger priority in attending the temple. When I think about having a temple right there in the heart of my hometown I get so excited. I loved when they said the temple will be surrounded by fruit trees (how fitting for the famous "fruit town")What an amazing blessing it will be to those that live in our community and other surrounding cities. The Brigham City Temple will be a replica of the Salt Lake, Logan, and Manti temples. It is supposed to be finished in the fall of 2012. I cannot wait. How grateful I am for temples.

jOb HunTing..

Blah, can I just say they make finding jobs so complicated these days. I spent over an hour applying for a job online at Chase bank and all of the sudden all of the info I had just writted dissappeared! WHY in the world can't you just take resume's around and find jobs the normal way instead of online?!?! It's strange, you'd think the employer would want to meet you in real life and not just see an application. ANYWAY.. I'll stop complaining, on a better note I had an interview today at the sports academy and it went really well. I would love to work there so I could work out for free, but the hours are pretty early so we'll see about that. I also took a few resume's to a couple dentist offices in town and hope to hear back from one of them seeing that I love those dental assisting jobs! :) Hopefully I will have better luck, I am kinda getting a little bored here at home all by my lonesome with no tv. I have been spending my time cooking new recipes which is way fun and have a new favorite blog. All you ladies that have husbands to feed should take a look. its justgetoffyourbuttandbake.blogspot.com Its a goodie!

Island Park

Heath and I went and stayed in Island Park for a couple of nights with my brother Tom and his cute family. They found this awesome cabin on KSL and it was HUGE! It came equipped with a hot tub, fuz(k totally can't spell that one) ball table, and big screen tv. It was SO much fun. We went into Yellowstone the first day and the second day we went rafting down the river, came home sat by the campfire then ended the night with sitting in the hot tub star gazing. On our way home we stopped at the Rexburg Idaho and Idaho Falls temples. Such a fun weekend getaway. Thanks for the invite! :)

Much needed update + Fun things!

YEs, We are still alive!! Heath and I have almost been married for two months! Doesn't that seem so weird? :) We are loving every minute of being married and its finally all sinking in. During the week we are both super busy. I leave for work at 7:10am and I don't get home till 6:30-6:45ish. Heath on the other hand has it a little nicer since his work is just down the street from us. He usually goes in at 9:30 or 11:00am and gets home at 7:15pm. I try to have dinner on the table when he gets home, we eat, do the dishes together and lately we have been playing tennis up on campus and watching an episode of 24. I'm telling you, if you've never seen 24 you have got to start watching it. I know, i'm a few years behind.. really 9 years behind since we just started the first season, but it is sooo good! Updates on the past few months. Hmmm.. I will be leaving my job at Dr. Wahlen's office in 2 weeks and going back to Bridgerland to finish my dental assisting that I started in highschool so I can get an extra point when I apply for hygiene again next year then once school starts in August I will be re-taking a few classes and just working every other Friday. Heath and I applied for grants and luckily we got some which I am so grateful for! We have been going on lots of fun little trips and doing alot of fun things like....




YELLOWSTONE. for my first time ever :)







Lagoon. we forgot our camera. :(

I'm a married chica






Wow, it has been way to long since I last posted. Don't worry now that we have the internet at our apartment I will blog alot more often. Well to fill you in Heath and I got married on May 22nd. It was the best day of my entire life thus far, i can honestly say. The day started at 5am getting hair and makeup done then off to the temple. We had to be there at 8 to take pictures, so I met heath at our apartment so he could help me zip my dress. We headed to the temple and the weather was a little iffy but it held up for the most part. It did rain, but it was still so great. From there we were sealed at 11. It was so special to see all of our family and friends gathered together in one room to share this special day with us. After it was outside in the crazy wind for pictures! Our luncheon started at 1:30 at the Coppermill. It was so fun, our video didnt work which i was so sad about. Heath and I headed to my mom's to get ready for the reception. My hair had got so wind blown that it was a mess! I just pulled it in a pony for the reception (thats why it wasnt so cute folks.) Our reception turned out so cute! Everything was exactly the way I envisioned it. It was great, our line was so long the entire night and it was so neat to see everyone that came. I loved every minute! We cut the cake, danced our first dance, threw the bouquet, and garter then headed out to our hawaiian decorated car and headed to the anniversary inn. My entire fam!!
My Mom, Brothers and sisters
Well that is a little update I will post more wedding pics and pictures from the Honeymoon soon. Sorry, I'm only a little behind :)
