Another blessing has come our way...

Michael got a job! He has been looking for many weeks now and this wonderful position opened up just the other day! He will be the MANAGER for a parking enforcement company who patrols all over Provo and Orem apartment complexes. He gets to work part from home and is out and about the rest of the time (meeting with managers from different complexes, booting cars, and solving problems)! The pay is even better than what we were hoping for! They called him Wednesday night and he started today! WHAT A BLESSING! Thank you to all those who have had him in your prayers, they have been answered! Man, when it rains blessings it sure does poor! I am so proud of him and all his hard work! He will do a great job! Love you sweetheart!!!!

It's Official....

WE ARE FINALLY MOVING! All the papers are signed and we are so excited! But no worries for all of our friends and family in Utah, we are only moving to Orem! We have been looking for a new place because we have out grown our cute little one bedroom apartment. We are sad to leave the area; we have loved living in Pleasant Grove but this is a great and bigger place so it is worth it! It is a cute two bedroom basement apartment that is owned but a fun young couple who live on the main floor. We are hoping that this place will get us through for the rest of the time we are here in Utah! We will be moving in on the 31st so let the packing begin!!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO US!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO THE BROWNS!

Yes, to Michael and I. Our birthdays are 3 days apart, Mike's was September 28th and mine was October 1st. Our biggest birthday gift to us was our trip to Disney World but we had a few little celebrations of our own on our special days!

Michael got a free birthday dinner coupon for his birthday from Tucanos to Tucanos (which was AMAZING)!

We then went to the park and and walked around and took pictures! It was good to spend a night together!

On my birthday we decided to go to Cornbellys Corn maze and we had a blast! It was a HUGE and they had a ton of fun other stuff to do. There were pig races, big adult slides to go on, AMAZING pumpkin carvings, food, duck races, and lots of kids!

There was a rocking chair bigger than Mike! YIKES!

My Cinderella carriage :)

My sister-in-law and her family were able to bless the baby a few weeks ago and it was such a fun weekend! We got to spend time with family and enjoy the outdoors!

DISNEY WORLD!!

So we were lucky enough to have our friends Alan and Lexi ask us if we would like to go to Disney Wold with them! They have a time share down there that they needed to use and Disney is having a special through December for all military men and women and their families for a LARGE DISCOUNT. So we thought it through very quickly and decided to go and celebrate Michael graduating and to celebrate our birthdays! WE HAD A BLAST! It was so much stinkin fun! We were out there for 8 days last week and man was it a packed 8 days! We visited all 4 Disney parks, Magic Kingdom, Animal Kingdom, Epcot, and Hollywood Studios. One fun thins that Mike got to do was be in the Indiana Jones show at Hollywood Studios! We also got over 50 Disney character signatures... they were so much fun! As a bonus we got to spend a day at Sea World. The Orlando temple was not far so we went and attended a session one night, it was beautiful! The last day we had the chance to visit my aunt Rina and her family, they were so kind to let us stay with them for a night. While on the coast, we visited the beach and watched the sun rise and set! I would love to tell you all more but I would talk for a week so here are a few pictures... they speak louder than words! Thanks Al and Lexi for inviting us!

Playin catch-up!

It has happened again! I have had the hardest time keeping up with the blog! My computer is ready to hit the dust but I think I might be able to bring it back so hopefully I can get back into the grove of blogging! So here is a quick re-cap of the last month and a half! Hod on tight cuz here we goooooooooooooooo!!!!!

We were able to attend the Oquirrh Mountain Temple Open House and it was beautiful (as they all are!) We are excited to go do a session sometime soon! My little cousin Kessley got baptized and we were so lucky to be there... she looked beautiful!
Just a fun family photo!

MICHAEL HAS GRADUATED!!!! I pulled of a surprise graduation dinner for Mike with some family and friends! We had so much fun and he was totally surprised! It was awesome! Thank you to all those who were able to attend and we missed those of you who were not able to make it! CONGRATS BABY! LOVE YA!!!!

Our friends Al and Lexi moved into a new place and we got to help them tear down wall paper and paint their new place! It now looks so good!

We went to Logan a few weekends ago and went canoeing with Mom and Dad Brown... it was so much fun!

We were able to watch our little nieces and my new nephew with at Mom and Dad Browns and we had a blast! They are so darn cute!

We have a nephew!

So Michael and I have been hoping that my sister-in-law Michelle would have her baby by this weekend because we were going up to Logan to visit. Well we got lucky! On Wednesday night, July 22nd, our new little nephew was born! His name is James Jay Parker, 8lb 1oz and 20 1/2 inches long. He is beautiful! All went well and all is well for baby and mom! We are so stinking excited to have him here! Mike and I picked up grandma Magnusson and went up to Logan Thursday night right after work. Friday morning, mom and dad Brown, Mike and I, and grandma went to the hospital and got to see baby James and picked up the girls.

We took them to the Pioneer Days parade in Logan and had a lot of fun! We were blessed enough to have cloudy weather so it was not TOO hot :) We then took the girls to the park and played with them for some time. Later that afternoon, Michelle and James were released from the hospital so we took dinner over and we shot off fireworks! It was a great day and it was fun to celebrate Pioneer Days with family!
Saturday morning we went to the historic site Golden Spike National Park where the Central Pacific and Union Pacific railroads met! We watched a little movie on it, saw the reenactment, took a car tour, and took a hike. It was a HOT but fun filled day! We had a great weekend and are trying to get ready for another week!
WELCOME BABY JAMES!!!!
