We went to Dustin's homecoming on Sunday, visited with family and were back to Salt Lake on Sunday night. We are looking forward to this weekend for our anniversary ski trip! More to come on celebrating 4 year!

Christmas Day!

We had presents with the Peacock's and the Gilson's. After that Tyler went to play the WII and I joined Brandt, Mom and Dad for a workout. We visited my Grandma and Mari and lounged around!

New shirts, Coats, money, necklaces, bracelets, videos, cd's we were spoiled rotten. Our families are too generous!

Merry Christmas Tree 2009

We had a great Christmas holiday this year. I hope all of you had a wonderful Christmas as well! It all began with the Gilson party at Holly's house on Christmas Eve! We ate yummy food, opened presents and Tyler taught his niece a new word for poop-feces

Narrating a walk through of our new system for the project management team.

More Holiday Fun!

I am really excited for the holidays and made these sugar cookie lollipops for Cali and Carter!


Today at work we had an awesome holiday party complete with ugly sweater contest! Sadly I didn't win but my friend Katie did! Don't you love her outfit!

Here are a few of my awesome work friends!

A moment 25 years in the making!

Today was the greatest day! My grades were posted and I got a 4.0! I busted my a** this semester and I'm glad it paid off.
Thanks to everyone for all your love and support through this crazy adventure especially my fam and Ty! It only took me 25 years and 17 years of school to finally achieve this goal! (why couldn't I do this in Jr. High, High School, or during the undergraduate years-oh well I did it finally!)

Happy Holidays

Hooray I finished up my classes and Tyler only has three finals left! Things have been pretty busy but I am feeling very excited about the holidays.

Here are a few of our holiday preparations.

The tree! (It really looks better in real life)

The fudge brownie gift pyramid!

Cocoa cones for my co-workers!

This weeks weird observations

Life has been good. I have one more paper to write and my 2nd semester of grad school will be complete. I have enjoyed having a little bit of time on my hands, but this has also given me a chance to observe a few weird things that have happened this week.

I saw a kid at church put string cheese on a piece of bread, sprinkle it with fruit snacks, roll it up and enjoy this yummy treat during sacrament meeting.

Today my boss patted me on the head. My boss is great don't get me wrong, and when I asked him why he did it he said I was just short and there. okay this topic deserves another post.

Sarah Palin my arch enemy was in town today at Costco! Why do I hate her you might ask? It's because she is a good wolf killer and Tyler has crush on her!

I cooked dinner tonight. This hasn't happened for several weeks and it went okay. I don't want to do it for awhile though.

Thanksgiving 2009: Surprises and Sizzler!

This year my Parents, Brandt and Dory planned to join Tyler and I in the City. Because I am lazy, and because my oven in the size of an easy bake, we had plans to go to sizzler!
On Wednesday night Jayna called and said her and Mikey were making the 10 hour drive from Washington! They arrived around 6 am and my parents were completely surprised! It was a great day!

This was a blast I never want homemade Thanksgiving again. No overeating, no leftovers, no cooking!

Peacocks!

Gilsons and Millers!

My cute little sweety pie!
After our meal we went to the schools game room. Tyler and his pharmacy buds have spent many hours here. It was great, ping pong, foosball and pool. It was hilarious!

Tyler and my Dad! My Dad is so good at Ping Pong!
Brandt and Dory!
Mother Jayna and Mikey!
Hope all of you had a great Thanksgiving!

Fun in Wyoming

Last weekend I was able to take Friday off and spend some time with Cammie, Christian and the Wildmeowzers. We had a great time playing games, holding Caleb, and making cookies. Cammie also let me give Caleb a bath whereupon he pooped on my arm, and peed all over Cammie! The whole weekend was full of laughs and hilarity. I can't wait to see them again!

Thankful

I am so grateful for all the millions of blessings in my life. It's nice to have a holiday to remind us of what we have. I remember a quote that said, "The secret to having everything you want, is believing you already do." I really do feel that way about my life. I hope all of you have a wonderful holiday and will have time to reflect on what makes your life great. Here are a few just to start.

The gospel. The more complicated life gets the more I realize that how much God loves us and that living the gospel brings us so much happiness.
Tyler: How does it feel to be married to the kindest, smartest, hottest guy in the world? Pretty awesome. Tyler makes me want to be my very best. I love this guy.
My Family: I don't have a picture of everyone Peacock's and Gilson's, but without my family I would be lost. I have the best family in the world.

School: Sometimes I am not grateful for the extra work, but I am so grateful to have an education and to be able to further my education now. I have had many amazing and wonderful teachers who have made a powerful impact.I can't wait to be teaching my own college classes. Learning is a gift.



Work: I am so blessed to have a job that I enjoy and that pushes me. Working for the U has been an amazing experience and I look forward for the years to come.

Health: There was a time when I thought being healthy was stifling and ridiculous. Now I am happy for my health and happy for my job as a fitness instructor. I love seeing my students enjoy the benefits of being healthy. I am grateful to be able to walk, see, hear, smell, and enjoy a full life.

Tatum B Photography

Last month my friend Tatum was kind enough to lend her expertise to Tyler and I. Tatum is a very skilled photographer and I was so happy with how beautiful these photos turned out. Thanks Tatum! Here are just several of our favorites!
