Super Cute!!!

These pictures are cute of Travis and I.  This first one is at the airport in Salt Lake City UT.  The second picture is in my car with my super cool sun glasses that are too big for my face!




I'm on a mission with the Missionaries hehehe =)

Sooo this week was my first two visits with the missionaries.  They want me to get Baptized this Sunday!!!!  I am choosing to wait till maybe next weekend or the one after that, that way my parents can come and I can invite everyone from work hehe.  It is going really well.  I am glad that I am already a pretty spiritual person and that Travis has been so kind to answer all of my questions.  Thanks to all of these things it seems that our meetings are more like a refresher course or bible study.  Not meaning to cheapen it because I really do enjoy it and feel like I can take a lot from it.  I will keep everyone posted on my Baptism date!

I start my Service Manager position July 1st!  Sorry I am just so excited!  My manager there will actually be the same manager who hired me on at Wells Fargo.  We work well together and I am eager and excited to see what is in store for our in store hahaha.  I am being a little dorky now so I will move to the next subject.

At the end of July I am going back to Utah for Travis' family reunion.  I am super excited about that for many reasons.  I get to meet the rest of his family, I get to play in a super fun Volleyball game (shout out to you Meg) and I get to see a pig in it's full form over a fire.  I have only seen that on TV so I am looking forward well not in a weird creepy like to see dead animals way but excited to experience that!  

That is all for now!  Until next time have a great weekend!!!!

Minime

Check out my mini Aundi runner!!

Continuing my new opportunity!

I hope to start my service manager position by July 1st.  I am absolutely thrilled!  When I wrote this I had not seen Travis yet.  Well.....he showed up at my door and he already knew!!!!  He showed with flowers, sugar free red bull, and this super cute card that plays music! I was like how did you know!?  It was a great evening to a great day and he also took me out to dinner for Mexican food.  It was a lot of fun.  Now we both have manager positions hehe.  I look up to Travis so I know that he will continue to add to my happiness in my new position as well as be a great guide in a manager role.  He exudes patience, leadership, positivity, and is a great listener.  Who could ask for a better mentor!!!  =)  

I hope all of you have a great rest of the week!

UTAH!!!!!


I went to Utah this past weekend!  It was great.  I met Travis' family who were all so wonderful. We stayed at Lori's house (which is beautiful and is on the market so you should buy it); Lori and her family were awesome!  All of her kids are beautiful and so polite.  I had a lot of fun playing volleyball and tennis with them.  Lori also had a BBQ at her house with a lot of yummy food and fun socializing with family and friends.  Everyone was so nice! 




Travis and I got pedicures while we were there with Rod and Amy (who are also super sweet).  It was fun!  Travis got his toes painted silver eeekks.  We also visited other friends and their parents.  We played Wii and watched Rod and Amy's son's (David and Zack who are adorable) play around and eat lots of sugar!
 






I climbed a mountain!  Well kind of hehe.  We went to Zion's National Park and we hiked the most difficult one there called Angels Landing.  I think they call it that because it is so high!!!  I quickly realized just how afraid of heights I was but dealt well with it and was taken away by the beauty of the mountains which I have never seen before.


We spent the last day in Vegas which my parents and Travis' parents met up for lunch.  That evening we went to the wax museum, walked through the Venetian hotel and then went and had dinner at the Rain Forest Cafe'!!!  It was super delicious.  Oh and we watched the Lion walk around and sleep and then yawn a bunch at MGM Grand.  We then went for a walk and watched the water show at the Bellagio.  It was a great evening and ending to a great weekend!  


I go back to Utah in August and am super excited to meet the rest of Travis' family.  I will not be nervous this time hehe.  


Well it was back to work today and I must say I think I needed a vacation after my vacation.  I was super tired and just wasn't all there.  


Special thanks to you Lori for the granola cereal, for your hospitality and for you miss Meghan for giving up your room!  Bryan, Cameron, Brady, Jacob, and Luke it was great meeting you!  It was also great meeting you Mr. and Mrs. Phillips!  Thank you for driving to Vegas it was really fun.

Sunday and Healthyfoodforthought

So....today Travis and I went to church.  We went to class afterwards and I am glad I went.  I was super tired feeling and my head hurt so I kind of tried to get out of it but then decided to stop being a baby and go.  He talked about a lesson that Travis and I already went over last week.  It was about the Atonement of Jesus Christ.  His suffering for our sins both spiritually and physically.  Anyways of course I already know about this topic as I was raised in the Catholic church but it was fun to have that confidence that I haven't felt in a while to speak up in class and blurt out what I thought was the answer.  It is just fun sharing that with other people.  The gentlemen doing the talk or leading the class stopped half way through so that I could set an appointment to talk with the missionaries.  It was a little awkward but I gave them my number and will probably start that next week.  I had been wanting to talk to them anyway, so now it's just that it is finally happening.  

I started a new blog!  I am super excited about my new blog as it is about healthy eating and healthy food thoughts.  I am totally obsessed with these topics and love talking about it.  Over the years I have attained some useful knowledge about eating disorders such as anorexia, bulimia, and obesity.  I have always wondered when I have a family some day what are different things I can do to incorporate vegetables and other different foods that maybe I don't eat, so that they can have a full rounded diet and a positive outlook on food.  Also I want to establish healthy eating habits all the way around so that I can instill that in my children as well.   Now days it seems like life makes it to where it is easier to eat unhealthy.  It is cheaper to buy that greasy hamburger then a grilled chicken salad.  I am learning how to cook and plan to experiment with different ingredients that will be fun and healthy.  I already tried to make spaghetti squash spaghetti with Travis.  Lets just say it wasn't what I expected.  I have not let that discourage me though.   I am excited to try more things!  

Well that would have been a good blog for my other blog but oh well.  Thats all i've got.  Look under my cool blogger friends to see my new blog.  Eventually after I get more stuff on there I will have links that you can go to for additional information.  

Only three more days till I go to UTAH!!!!  I am super excited =).
