Determined!!!!

So last night I came home to find my front door unlocked. I went inside and Ty was nowhere to be found, to make matters worse his keys and phone were sitting on the table. The two things Ty never leaves without is his keys and phone, never ever! So I (being a panicky woman) freak out imagining all of the horrible things that have happened to my poor husband… Somebody came and took him, but left our macbooks and TV…. He opened the door and an ax murderer grabbed him… on and on…

Ty comes in a few minutes later, all sweaty from going on a run… not being killed by an ax murderer. He laughed at the fact that someone would come kid-nap a 200 lb man; hey it could totally happen, right?

Anyways he started to talk about how we need to go running more often, and eat healthier (aka I need to stop baking EVERY SINGLE NIGHT) and I totally went into pity-party mode. It’s true the pounds have been creeping on, slowly but surely. But it’s not my fault Ty bought me a kitchenaid for Christmas and I have a new-found love for baking, right? I need to bake steel-oat bran muffins instead of homemade double chocolate chip cookies, but I am lacking in the motivation department right now! I called my sister to discuss my dire dilemma, she suggested I try going to work-out classes at the gym at night, because they more fun than just plain running, and the instructors motivate you. Sounds good to me, now the commitment thing is next. Any ideas people? I really just want to do this every night…

Update

Wow, I guess I'm not as good as I hoped I would! Here is a little update...

Ty has been busy with school like mad! He is a assiduous little student, he is also working at a law firm part-time, needless to say the kid is busy. I have been in a investment licensing class for the past six weeks through the state of California (and almost done)! I have passed my series 6 and 63 exams, and soon will be taking a state life insurance exam so I can sell these products at work. I can't believe that Tyler is almost to the end of his first year of law school, thats nuts! We have a love/hate relationship

down here, we love the weather, the beach, the area, the ward. But hate the living expenses, but right now I really couldn't imagine living in the snow again, no thank you. We went up to LA a couple weeks ago to check out the Hollywood walk of fame and to fulfill my life-long drea

m of going to PINKS hotdogs (I guess I'm not that big of a dreamer). I just had my birthday a few days ago and Ty took me to this awesome fondue restaurant in Mission Viejo, it was delicious! He also got me a beautiful necklace that I love love love! We are going up to Utah in a couple weeks to visit family, looking forward to the people, not the weather!

Costa Mesa

So we haved moved to beautiful Costa Mesa, CA.

Tyler started at Whittier Law School last week, and I finally got to move back to Southern California. We absolutely LOVE it down here, our apartment doesn't have concrete walls, we can go to the beach on the weekends, and Trader Joes... it doesn't get any better than this!

I transferred from both of my jobs in Utah to California, Chase Bank and the Gap. So it was a pretty easy move. Our new ward is so great, everyone is very nice and inviting.

I think we're here for good....

We are official college grads! We are SOOO happy to be done, and ready to move.. to California! Ty is going to law school in the Fall, he just has to decide which school he wants to go to... anywhere is cal is good for me!

its been a while...

So I guess we're not so good at the whole blogging thing. But here's another shot!

We have both been crazy busy lately. Tyler and I are full time students (on our last semester....hallelujah) and we both have full time jobs. So we

basically are gone all

day everyday. :(

But its all good cause we are taking a trip to HAWAII when the

semester ends. And vacation

is what makes all the hard work worth it! Am I right?!

Oh yeah, these are all random pictures.....

Tyler tried to make me breakfast the other day, and thought he

could use the blender to beat the eggs so they were "extra

fluffy". Yeah, it didn't work out...

The other ones are of us going race go-carting, Valentines day,

and my sis Natasha.

Fall Festivities

We've been REALLY busy and not on top of the blog we said we'd do! :(

So update, we went backpacking with Aubrye and Grant, went on a much needed vacation to the Oregon Coast, and had a blast dressing up for halloween. Tyler wants to put a disclaimer up to say he was NOT a ballerina, he was the tooth-fairy (apparently the tooth fairy is way more manly then the tooth fairy).

24th of July!!

So for the 24th we had our nephew Jayden spend the night and go to the parade with us and my best buddy Rachel! We had alot of fun, she had her nephew Jack too, so it was a party.

Afterwards we took Jayden to the water thingie at the Gateway, needless to say, he didn't want to leave.... then we went and hung out with Ty's family, Madison entertained us, Valerie sewed cute dresses for Maddy, and Ty slept. It was quite a productive day!
