Jordan's Update

I hope ya'll don't mind me bragging about my husband for a sec...

Heres whats going on in the amazing life of JO:

1. Jord is the activities chairman for the USU FPA (Financial Planners Association) and they recently went to Anaheim California for the National FPA convention. They all (I think 7 people went) had a great time and made some good connections.
2. Jo is on the USU Tax team and they had a national tax competition hosted by Deloitte in SLC. The team (4 undergrad students) did great and got "honorable mention"...which is like 4th place.
3. He got his LSAT tests back and ranked in the top 12% in the nation. He is such a smarty. He is now in the process of applying to law schools.

Okay and this was all just in October. But besides all this he has school and an audit going on at work. He is always crazy busy.

I Luff him.

And that is what is going on in the amazing life of JO. Thanks for tuning in.

Thanksgiving

Ya okay I know, it isn't even November yet but I feel like there is a lot to be grateful for this fall. Fall, like many other people, is my favorite time of the year. The leaves are falling, the temperature is getting cooler (but not yet frigid), there are haunted corn mazes all over town, its pumpkin dessert season (yum yum), Halloween is just around the corner, Thanksgiving and Christmas will come soon (which means a 2 yr anniversary for me and Jo) and Logan UT is absolutely GORGEOUS this time of year.

Along with all of this we have weddings in the family, some of my best friends are having little ones, and I have three awesome trips planned.

November:

The first trip planned is to a place I have been dreaming of going for a long time.

Tokyo, Japan.

I almost can't believe that I will be here in a couple weeks.

December:

This trip has been booked since February.

For me and Jo's 2 anniversary we will be going on the same cruise we went on for our honeymoon. I'm ecstatic and Jo can't stop talking about the food.

end of January beginning of February:

Most recently I found out that the Utah Association of Conservation Districts (UACD) will be sending me here

Okay... not exactly here but 3 miles from it.

Orlando, Florida.

My baby GIS project that I have been working on for a year now has been chosen as one of the top 5 success stories to be featured at the National Association of Conservation Districts (NACD) meeting in Florida.

What does this mean?

That I will have to go to a convention for 3 days, and give a 20 min. presentation one of those days.

But after that...its a party for me and Jo for 4 days at all the awesome theme parks in Florida.

I am so excited for this fall season.

It is beautiful and there is so much to look forward to.

Anaheim, Aida, Accidents

While Jordan was in Anaheim CA for a FPA (Financial Planning Assoc.) convention last weekend I decided to take a trip to STG.

My first stop was in Orem to see some of my old besties from HS, Genna Mugleston and Kelsie James. We stopped at the Pizza Factory and reminisced of old times and caught up on each others lives. I loved hanging out with these girls again.

Then I stopped by Di's to give her a birthday gift. Yes, I did give her a snuggie. I saw it at the store and could not pass it up. It is probably the best gift I will ever give. She loved it.

My weekend in STG was pretty average. I did go to see Aida at Tuacahn. It was fantastic! I love musicals, and Tuacahn is never a let down. Although my weekend in STG was average...my sisters weekend was not average at all.

While Carly was coming back to my mom's house in Ivins with her BF Andy they saw a car that had run into a brick wall. At first they weren't sure what had happened but they turned around and decided to check it out. When they got closer they could see a couple people laying on the ground around the car. It was 2am and the driver had fallen asleep. Carly and Andy checked on everyone and called the police. The people were bleeding and crying. Car and Andy stayed with the kids (yes they were 16 and younger) until additional help arrived. Scary huh? Everyone survived and I don't think anyone was seriously injured.

Me and Jo are in SLC this weekend. Jordan has a Deloitte Tax Competition with his tax team. He is such a smarty. I hope they win!

"Fashionable and Spiritual"

As Janece puts it we were "fashionable and spiritual" this past conference weekend. Thanks to a womans inherit multi-tasking abilities, Janece Janessa Megan and I were able to shell out a few bracelets 'n such while listening to conference.

Here is my stash.

A special thanks to Tresa and Janece for the wonderful beads!

Aria Perry

Hey everyone vote for my baby sister as the face for baby gap.

Isn't she sooo cute?!

Vote here or here.

Check it Out

This is pretty neat:

Logan, UT recently got a Texas Roadhouse. This is not just any run of the mill steak house. All profits at this one location go straight to charity. They say it is the first of its kind in the Country! Check out the article from ABC here.

I have never eaten at Texas Roadhouse but I gotta check it out now.

cool Logan.

Labor Weekend

Labor day weekend was pretty sweet.

Since Jord was taking a LSAT practice test this last weekend I decided to go visit some of my

favorite people.

On Friday I drove down to Orem/Provo and spent the evening with Diana.

We went out to eat, got stalked at the McDonald's parking lot, redBoxed it, and chatted until the wee hours of the morning.

Then Me and Ash had a sleepover.

On Monday I took Jord on a date to Thanksgiving Point
(and since we were close-Cabellas).
I love it here. It is sooo pretty.

Me and Jo in the Rose Garden

Feedin the fish

At the Dinosaur Museum.

We had tons of fun (but were pretty sore from walking all day).

After Thanksgiving Point and Cabellas we headed over to Orem/Provo for a little shopping and some dinner with Ash & Garret.
