My World, My Way

Relay for Life

2009-05-16T10:56:00.005-06:00

Last night was the big Relay for Life scrapbook night at Susan's. We had a ton of fun and raised some money for the cause. Although I don't think very many people actually got much scrapbooked. I did three pages last night and one this morning. Here is what they look like...

7 days and 6 nights

2009-05-14T16:29:00.002-06:00

Corey left today for 7 days in Idaho hunting black bears... Yeah! I am so excited to eat ice cream for dinner watch a marathon of chick flicks and play on facebook all week long. (Corey hates it when I do any of these things... hehe) But the bummer is that I work most of the time that he is gone so I don't get to do all the really fun things like shopping and girls nights....

However tomorrow night I will be attending an all night jam session of digital scrapbooking at my mother-in-laws house... then were having a sleepover. Just like were in junior high again. LOVIN IT!

Next Wednesday I am also going to have lunch with my grandma at The Greenery (kind of a yearly tradition) Can't wait for that mushroom burger and malt!!

Yesterday I was supposed to work my old job (my last day) but they sent me home because they didn't have enough work so I went and spent two hours at the gym (ya feeling that today!) and then I laid around all day and even took a three hour nap. Oh it felt sooo good. Worst part though... I couldn't sleep worth a darn last night.... BUMMER!

Hello Again

2009-05-12T16:13:00.003-06:00

Ok everyone... I am finally going to update my blog to reflect our life as it now stands. So much has been going on that I have had to re-prioritize and unfortunately the blog did not make the cut into the most important things for me to do.

I just started working at McKay-Dee Hospital on the Cardiovascular Thoracic Unit and I absolutely love it. I am learning some much. School is finally out and my grades came out very positive. Got my GPA back where I wanted it and excited that I only have to take one class next semester. I was able to graduate this semester with a Associates degree of General Studies. Not very fancy but I was excited.

Corey is on his way out of town for a week of rest, relaxation, and bear hunting. That last activity is the reason why I am staying home alone. "It's a guy thing" he tells me and that I won't have fun listening to them tell crude jokes and have body odor wars. I TOTALLY AGREE! So I am working a ton and attending a digital scrapbook night at my mother-in-laws house. I am then sleeping over and we are going to have a mini-girls day. YIPEE!

More Later!!

YEAAAAAH!!!

2009-04-22T16:10:00.001-06:00

My 21st Birthday

2009-04-13T19:21:00.003-06:00

Our friends Kristen and Dustin took us out to dinner at Iggy's in Layton (I got to order my first drink... Gotta love Pina Colada!) and then we went to the Roller Derby (sorry no pics) then back to my house for a game of UNO!

I am so spoiled for my birthday I got a new outfit, a Nintendo DS, money, a jacket, shot glasses, a purse, a shirt, IBC Root Beer (LOL! that's from Ryan.. the closest thing to beer that he can buy), jewelry, and countless coke glasses. I am sure there is more but I can't remember right this second. Just wanna thank everyone! Love ya all!

Easter Saturday!

Sunday was Easter and I got to spend the day in the best ways possible. First of all we slept in.. YIPEE! then we went to the Walton's for a birthday lunch (My birthday was sat. well get to that in a min) then we spent the evening with my family at Michelle's house for Easter.

MY SAD NEWS!

2009-03-21T23:40:00.001-06:00

Just to let everyone know I didn't get into the nursing program again. Sensitive subject. LOVE YA!

PS Here's a picture from the chicken chase at the rodeo and a picture of Corey on Frontrunner on a date to SLC.

My life lately

2009-03-02T10:39:00.003-07:00

WOW! I never thought it would happen... we are finally through with February. That month seemed to drag on and on for me. Although I do have a sick feeling that March is going to be the same way if not worse. On Friday night I got the chance to go to the Ballet West production of Madame Butterfly. I went with my grandma and we had so much fun. What a beautiful performance. On Saturday Corey and I joined my sister and a friend of hers for dinner and a night out. We ended up going to the comedy club "Wiseguys" on 25th Street. What a great show! The best part was that it didn't cost all that much and we had a ton of fun. My gut still hurts from laughing so hard. We saw a husband and wife team perform their names were Heather and Jerry Mabbott. If you get the chance to look them up do it... especially the wife... they were HILARIOUS!
Sunday we spent the day relaxing at the Walton's watching the NASCAR race. What a race.... there were so many freak events and cautions that the race lasted way longer than it should have... but oh well we loved every minute. Today is my sister Jenny's birthday and I will not disclose the age. I hope she has a great day! The weather finally seems to be warming up and I could not be more excited. I can not wait to get the swimming suits out and hit the pool. I have to make up for last summer so I plan on being as tan as a baked bean. My birthday is rapidly approaching and I am thrilled.... I know it's not the most common response but it is my 21st birthday so I don't mind getting another year older. Although I just figured out that it is the same weekend as Easter so that changes things a bit. Family functions come before partying so might end up celebrating the next weekend. Well gotta work on homework... YUCK! See ya around.

2009-02-18T16:14:00.003-07:00

We are finally past Valentine's and I just wanted to share with everyone what my amazing husband did for me. Friday the 13th was just a normal day. I went to Tremonton with my sister so she could get her hair done. While we were there Corey called to say that he was stuck in traffic and that we would probably beat him home which we did. I was in the kitchen when he finally made it home and he called me into the living room were I saw a flower peeking out from behind his back and he handed me a Valentine's card and a single pink rose. I am a sap and this had brought me to tears. It was just so thoughtful especially being that we had agreed not to do gifts this year since were saving our money for a new house. I gave him a hug and said thank you and then he told that he really didn't get stuck in traffic and that there was more to my gift that he had gone to the mall to pick up. Then he pulled out the jewelry box. This is what was inside.
Needless to say I was speechless and proceeded to cry and jump up and down. He then told me to get ready to go out to dinner we had reservations a Boccia D'Italia.... Amazing!

The next day, however, I felt oh so guilty for not getting him anything and so a trip to the mall was made and the hat that he has been oogling for months now was purchased.
What an amazing weekend! (Love you honey!)
I hope everyone had a fabulous Valentine's day also.

THE EVIL NEIGHBORS!!

2009-01-17T15:23:00.002-07:00

Ok so maybe I am not done ranting...

Corey and I live in condos for everyone that doesn't know and we recently got new neighbors in the unit that is just to the east of us. We were so excited the day the moving van showed up because that side of the house gets so cold and we hoped to get a young couple that we could maybe be friends with. Instead we got the worst neighbors ever! They moved in last friday (one week ago) that very night they had a party with like 10 people. They were so loud and it sounded like their was constantly an elephant heard running up and down the stairs but lucky they did shut it down around 10:30 so not to bad just a bummer that I had to be up the next day at 3:30 am for work. When I got off and finally got home I took Sage out onto the patio to go potty (puppy sitting) and all over were cigarette butts! I was a bit ticked. Then I noticed that the snow on our patio had a funny coloring... SOMEONE PEED ON MY PATIO! So now I'm mad. I went and got my camera and started snapping pics and then waited for Corey to get home.. he went over and asked them to clean it up and they did... then the next day we were wokin up at 7 am and got to endure blaring rap music for hours on end finally corey was at his wits end and we just left the house. All along we have been documenting as well as informing the lady that lives on the other side of us because she is on the HOA board. Then monday their spot in the parking lot was covered with trash because they decided to clean out the car and leave it all on the road (more documentation followed). It has been only one week and already all this crap! Plus this isn't all of the annoying tendancies that this family has but its the ones that really ticked me off. So now were trying to figure what to do to get these people to learn a little respect hopefully it comes before I am driven crazy or from my home!

2009 came in with a BANG!

2009-01-17T15:08:00.002-07:00

Sorry for the lazy blogging lately. If Janurary is any indication of what the rest of the year will be like then I am in need of some serious therapy. The first week of Jan I was in work-a-holic mode due to the fact that I started school the fifth and wouldn't be able to work much for the rest of the semester. Then school began.... I am taking 12 credit hours which equals 4 (ish) classes. Biomed 1111 (the second half of the anatomy & physiology class), Music 1010, Communications 1010, and Finance 1010. The reason that I say "ish" is because the Biomed class also requires a lab but it doesn't acquire any credit hours itself. I am at the campus mon - fri from about 8 to 2! So I work only two days a week just so that my work doesn't get any crazy ideas like firing me due to lack of hours or anything. Also this month I've had my RN application due (crossing my fingers, that this is the year) and a job interview with the hospital (they liked me but my availability wouldn't work :( Oh well better luck next time!) Corey is also back in classes and is super happy due to the fact that he just found out that he passed his medical gas certification test with the 3rd highest grade in the SCHOOL! I am so so so proud of him.

So being that the month is only half over I am anticipating many events for the next few weeks, let's just hope that I have time to get on and blog. Ok so that's all the rantings I have for the day!

Bull Wars

2009-01-01T11:30:00.003-07:00

Last night for New Years Eve Corey and I joined my sister and her family for some intense bull riding. The very first ride out of the gates left the rider flat on his back unconcious and bleeding. Right away we had to delay the evening while he came to and they safely got him on a back board and out of the arena. Still no word on what kind of injuries he sustained but I saw that bull stomp right on his chest plate. What's that country song that seems so fitting...? "Momma don't let your boys grow up to be cowboys" LOL!

These pictures are of the cowboys all lined up for the national anthem. This was sponsored by the US Army and I am so thankful for our soldiers. Here's a big thank you to them!!

The Painting

2008-12-28T13:06:00.003-07:00

My grandma gave my dad a watercolor painting this year for christmas. It is of me and him dancing at my wedding. It is absolutely gorgeous. I cried when I saw it, and on the back she wrote "In memory of the lord who made it possible for heather to dance with her dad the day she married Corey" A total tear jerker.

December

2008-12-28T12:53:00.003-07:00

December began with an end, the end of the semester. Hallelujah! I finished strong with a 3.3 gpa. Corey also did well but were still waiting for the results of his medical gas certification test. We had several company christmas parties to attend and all went well. The traditional Grandkid Christmas Party that my grandparents throw every year was a little different this year. We were picked up in a limo and then stopped to get pizza and then went to Willard, Ogden, and Layton christmas lights.
Christmas began for us on tues the 23rd, we opened gifts with the Walton's that night and had a prime rib dinner. Corey got a huge tool box for his garage and all he could say was well I guess I gotta clean the garage now. I got a digital writing pad that I had been begging for and I absolutely love it. Then the 24th arrived and we went to the Henderson christmas party at my grandparents were we got clothes and such and had a really good time. Christmas day was eventful for me. I had to work and then rushed home to open gifts from Corey ( I got a desk chair, heated blanked, clothes, and car cleaning stuff (ya it was a hint that I need to clean the car more)). I gave him a Shop Vac, laser level and some clothes this year. Then we were off to my sister Michelle's house to open gifts and have dinner from that side of my family. Then Friday the 26th we had a quiet morning and then went to my dad's for dinner and gifts there. I know it all sounds crazy but who else gets to have a whole week of christmas!!

Thanksgiving

2008-12-28T12:04:00.002-07:00

Thanksgiving for Corey and I was quite the adventure. We went to Nebraska with Corey's parents to spend the holiday with their family. Just to let everyone know that is one long and oh so very boring drive. We made it there safe and sound and spent the day sleeping, shopping, and eating Runza's (a nebraskan tradition). The next day was Thanksgiving and so Sue got started on dinner since Grandma was still off her feet from a knee replacement surgery. That night we traveled to Lincoln (we were in Omaha) and stayed at Aunt Kelly's house and of course we went shopping Fri morning at 6 am and got some killer deals. The rest of the day was filled with Nebraska Husker football. We went tailgating (even got tickets to the exclusive Budweiser hospitality tent (all the free food we could eat and live band) then it was game time. Corey and I had never been to a game and so we got to have the tickets that were behind the Husker bench on the 5th row. They were awesome! Thanks Craig and Kelly! Of course Huskers won (lol) but it was also a treat cause we got to see Larry the Cable guy (he was standing on the field watching the game right in front of us.) What an amazing day. We left on sunday morning and ended up getting stuck in Cheyenne cause they closed the road due to snow. So we hung out there for a few hours and then we were on our way. I caught a terrible cold right before we left on the trip and was pretty miserable the whole time but I did my best not to whine. LOL!

The Newlyweds

2008-12-28T11:17:00.003-07:00

When Corey and I got home from our honeymoon, life was in full swing and we were flung into the midsts of school, work, bills (all that being an adult stuff... YUCK!) There was no time to catch the newlywed bug and be together all the time. But we survived, Halloween was very uneventful in the Walton household. We bought an XBOX 360 and then went to my Grandparents house for chili. Exciting I know! Next year I swear will be better though. We seem to be getting older everyday. In bed, asleep by 9 and home everynight of the weekend. Our social lives need an extreme makeover... Wonder if there is a reality show we could sign up for?

Finally...

2008-12-28T11:13:00.002-07:00

Alright Alright I am finally back on and with determination to get my blog caught up to speed. So much has happened the last few months that this is going to take me awhile. Good thing I cleared my schedule for the whole day to get it done. (actually I cleared the day to do the millions of loads of laundry that I have been avoiding, but my blog with receive the benefits of my laziness) Ok here we go... wish me luck!

The Honeymoon

2008-10-17T21:59:00.002-06:00

On Sunday we went first thing back out to the Walton's to open gifts with all of the grandparents. We sure did get a lot of stuff. Thanks to everyone! Then we packed and spent a rainy day inside. We headed to Vegas on Monday and flew out in the early afternoon. Once we got there we negotiated our way to the hotel then to our room and got settled. Then we headed out to explore and check in at the Wynn hotel where we were going to see the show Le Reve. (Wow! what an amazing show. Recommend it to everyone. Young or old) We spent the next day exploring the strip and then Wednesday at the outlet mall. Thursday we were flying out and pretty bored so we spent the day playing rummy in the pizzeria and then at the airport. We made it home and were thankful for our own bed.

The Wedding

2008-10-17T21:41:00.003-06:00

I woke up the morning of the wedding with butterflies in my stomach. After taking a shower and getting breakfast I went to my mom's house to begin the days preparations. When I arrived the whole house was in full swing. So I jumped in to do what I could while we waited for my aunt Peggy who was doing my hair. Once she got there about 11 we started on my hair while everyone ran errands. All this time the weather was fairly nice but the low, dark clouds were threatening otherwise. I finished my hair and had my brother drive me to the Walton's to start on everything there. Of course everyone was buzzing and I didn't have to do anything other than get ready so that's what I did. Seems like the next I knew was that they wanted me on the deck for pictures and as soon as I walked out it started to down pour. Back inside we went. I thought everything was ruined. But then at 15 min to 4 the sun peeked through and got everything going. We started right on time and the judge was great. Once we got back down the isle we greeted guests then went ahead and cut the cake so that it could be served to the guests. We made such a mess of each other but it was so much fun. Then we ate and greeted more guests. Then we went ahead and started the dances so that we could get through them before the rain started again. How sweet it was to dance with my husband and then my dad. We finished that and the sprinkles started so we bid farewell to the guests and went inside to change and catch our breaths. We finished off with the bouquet toss and garter toss and then rushed through the rain to our car and off to the Alaskan Inn for the night. What a great day!!

Update!!

2008-10-17T21:35:00.002-06:00

Where do I begin!
First I'll apologize for not updating sooner. Life is in full speed right now. Well we finally got married!! September 20th was a very interesting day, I'll post all about that next! Then we went on our honeymoon to Las Vegas we had so much fun. Now that were home we are getting the house put together and I am finally back to work. What a relief that is. I finally have socialization back in my life not to mention a pay check. Yipee! Life is just good. I will try and be more diligent about my postings. TTYL :)

My Theme Song

2008-09-09T21:42:00.004-06:00

So a friend recently called me and wanted to know if I'd heard Bucky Covington's new song, "I'll Walk". I hadn't and so I found it on the radio and am now addicted. The story told is a little bit different than mine but the idea's are the same. Listen to the words all the way through. I love this song!!

Bucky Covington Lyrics
I'll Walk Lyrics

First Day Of School!

2008-08-26T18:35:00.002-06:00

Yesterday I logged onto the Weber State online site and began classes. I am taking five classes this semester. Medical terminology, anatomy, physiology, art, sociology. Sounds like fun....NOT! I already have a reading list a mile long and tests next week. Yikes! Growing up is definitely no fun. Oh well hopefully someday I make it rich and then the fun can begin.

Birthdays!

2008-08-21T13:21:00.000-06:00

HAPPY BIRTHDAY COREY!!!

Birthday Party!

2008-08-18T08:50:00.000-06:00

Last night Corey and I went to my cousins 13th birthday party. Oh my gosh! Why does everyone have to grow up it is so not fair. Joshua is going into 7th grade and going to the same Jr. high that I went too. It's funny that I know half of his teachers. It was a great party, there was family there that I haven't seen in years! Even the mosquitoes had a good time, they sure know how to crash a party!

Pine View Dam

2008-08-17T18:23:00.000-06:00

August 17, 2008
Today we went boating with Corey's parents. What a great way to get out of the house too bad that the lake was so crowded that it was NO fun. The family is great but man oh man the waves were so bad that I got really motion sick. No one could ski and Corey and Brett were barely able to wakeboard. I got in the water once but I was scared that I would get ran over so I didn't dare do it again. The sun did feel nice though and Corey got a sunburn on his chest. I got some funny tan lines from my brace. LOL!

My New Business

2008-08-16T11:22:00.000-06:00

As of today, I am now selling Scentsy candles!! With all of my time off because of injuries I needed something to fill my time and bring in some revenue. So everyone out there who love Scentsy but don't know where to buy come to me and will build a fun new relationship. Please plan on coming to my launch party on Aug. 30 3-7 pm. at my home (218 E. 2350 N. North Ogden, UT 84414) Light refreshments served and things to be won. Call with any questions!!!
