Happy Birthday Jessica!

What a great Birthday! Tyler decorated the house for me, it was so cute to be suprised when I got home from work! We drove to South Jordan and ate with my wonderful family at Texas Road House!! Once again I got to sit on the straddle! I should have thought it through a little more though because I wore a skirt! I had to side saddle it :) But I love being with Tyler and the fam! After we went to FASTKART! Oh my, I am obsessed! It was so much fun! Ashley and I both were a bit sick afterwards...its a lot of sharp turns at a very fast pace! But it was so much fun. You get to wear real helmets and everything! Its that serious. :) Then we opened presents and at cake and ice cream!! My family is SO WONDERFUL TO ME!! Thank you for the gifts and the wonderful time! I LOVE YOU GUYS! Tyler and I in our festive house :)

My cute cake that my mom got for me.

Ash and I preparing to Fastkart it up! :)

Ok...so I am sorry that my husband does not have a shirt on...this could be a bit scandelise or however you spell that word? But it was the funniest thing I have ever seen, and I wanted you all to see it too. Don't worry, he said this one was ok :) So...Tyler gets up at 4:30 every morning, works 10 hours, and than has school from 6-10 Monday through Thursday so by Friday he is dead. He was getting sick, and when I came home he was sitting in the bathtub with the shower still going acting drunk! He was singing and doing the weirdest things. I only got this little video...but man, it was funny! He is such a HARD worker, and he NEVER complains! I guess this must be how he takes out his complaints? Haha...oh man I love Tyler so much! :) Nobody has every made me laugh harder.

NEW! :)

Ok so I felt th at it was appropriate that I give Squeeker, my recent car, its own blog before I get on to my NEW CAR!!! :) Yahoo!! So I was in the market for buying a new car and Mazdas are just SO CUTE, I wanted one so bad! I was working and Tyler was driving with my client and I and he spotted this here car in a garage with a number on the back. With his quick memorizatoin skills, he was able to get the number and we called....one week later, the car was ours!! :) We got a GREAT deal on it! It is a 2006 with 49,000 miles. It is in great condition! Oh my goodness I think it is just the cutest thing ever! We decided it could be my birthday present...it is the best present I have ever gotten! :) Also, that picture at the top there is of me when we picked it up. Tyler was taking pictures...look at how focused I was on the road though, you would be proud dad! Oh, one more thing... Tyler and I named our new car...WELCOME HOME MYRA, WELCOME HOME :) haha.

My cars.

So recently a very depressing thing happened. My car, Squeeks, passed away. It was a slow painful death. Squeeks and I have been together since 2006, and she has been so good to me! I learned to drive a manual in her at Snow College with my mom in a random parking lot. She has traveled with me on many adventures, like San Diego for the Summer and Mexico for my honeymoon. She has also gotten me to and from Logan a million gazillion times, thats probably what did her in! (And maybe the fact that she leaked oil non-stop, and I wasn't the best at checking it...) Anyway, one day my Squeeks was making a funny noise, it sounded like grinding metal. I was at work and driving my client around so I just drove and drove...until it started getting worse and than I knew it was a bad idea to keep driving it. I called Tyler who was at work and he came and picked her up to see what was wrong. On his way home from work, she just up and died in the Sears parking lot. We had to get her towed back to our house. There is good news to this tragic story...we sold her on KSL for $300 dollars, and the man that bought her said that he was going to fix up the engine and she should be seen driving around West Valley! She is not dead after all!! But...she will always have a place in my heart. She has been with me through thick and thin. I will miss you Squeeks.

Tyler!

Ok so this Monday Tyler and I both started school! I have just this last semester, then I will graduate with my Bachelors in Family, Consumer, and Human Development with an Emphasis in Family and Community Service. Tyler started the Bridgerland POLICE ACADEMY!!! He has to wear a uniform to school everyday! And they had to buy matching work out clothes and everything. Tyler took the physically fit test the second day of class (running, jumping...stuff like that) and passed! I just thought he was so cute in his uniform, I had to take a picture of his first day of school!! He will be graduating in October, then there will be a Police Officer in the family!! It is so weird, but VERY exciting! :) Tyler still works full time, and then some, at ICON...then he goes to school at night. I am just so proud of him!!

Tyler is playing his XBOX game...weird...haha, but this is our new little set up! We got a cute fouton because it is the only thing that will fit up our curvy stairs! So, if any of you want to come and party with us and sleep on our fouton, you are more then welcome!! :)
I had to put this picture on because this whole blog has a 'Tyler' sort of theme. From work at Christmas they gave everybody a Turkey. Tyler was SO excited to cook this turkey!! He was so proud of it, and it tasted SO good! We have been eating turkey for the last two weeks...but it is still good :)

P.S. Tyler read this blog and said I missed the most important part. He cooked the turkey upside down so that the white meat was still moist. Yup, he is very proud.

Happy New Years!!!

For New Years Eve this year, Tyler and I went over to some of our good friends house and had a PARRRTAY!! There were so many of our good friends there that we don't get to see very often, it was so much fun! We played a lot of games, ate food, and celebrated!! Yahoo!
One of the things we did was the dance dance Wii thing! Oh my heck it is HILLARIOUS! You have to mirror what the people are doing on the screen. It is incredibly funny to watch. Here is some of the boys giving it a try :)

Everybody was suprised with Tylers moves! He was unstoppable...even by us girls! He was the best dancer of the night, and he just looked so cute doing it!

Here are some of us girls doing it....oh my heck, we were all sweating so bad by the end! Fun fun fun.

More dance moves...

Laura and I had a verrrry fun evening! Hahaha, good ol sparkling white grape juice stuff.

All of the girls of the party! Apparantly I am the alcoholic? Once again...sparkling apple juice stuff :)

This picture was right after we did our party poppers and celebrated the new year!!

And this picture of course was our NEW YEARS KISS!! It was our very first New Years kiss...I was in Ecuador last year burning dummies at this time!! Both years have been great. This whole year has been just wonderful starting off with Ecuador, doing school, getting married, and a whole lot in between!! Yahoo for 2009, and bring on 2010!!

CHRISTMAS!

I don't know why I didn't take hardly any pictures on Christmas Day! It was just busy I guess? So...Jordan, Tyler and I were sleeping snug in Jordans bed when...CUBBY, Ashley and Jonnys dog, jumped on us! Jonny and Ash came over to open up presents at 8 am. By the time we got upstairs my mom and dad were already up, so we didn't get to hear my dad say...'I don't think Santa came this year'. It was kind of sad, I missed hearing it. Haha. But we all opened presents. Tyler got a tool box, clothes, a shaver, football, DVD's, XBox game and stuff...and I got coats, clothes, books, DVD's, and I bought Jordans new phone! It was wonderful :) After that we went to Jeff and Heidi's for our annual Christmas breakfast. It is always so delicious, and fun to see what everybody got for Christmas! After that we went to Josh and Rach's to see what Addie got for Christmas. She is just so stinkin cute! After that we traveled to AF to our annual Christmas lunch with dads side. We visited at their house and then went to Joe and Melindas for dinner. It was a day jammed pack full with family, food, and fun! :) Just what we love. We are so thankful for the Christmas season, and the real meaning we celebrate this wonderful holiday.
