So here is a little summary of all the stuff I have been up to since February. I have been busy and it has been fun! School this semester was great and very busy I am glad to have a break but excited to start dancing a lot again in June. Hope you like the pics!
Here we are in Vegas celebrating our 4 year anniversary! It has been an amazing four years with lots of learning, trials, and good times. I love telling people we have been married four years, it is such a good feeling and great accomplishment! I can't wait for next year. Plus I LOVE celebrating in Las Vegas! This is our third anniversary in Vegas and I hope to keep the tradition going.
Here we are at La Reve, the awesome show was saw at the Wynn Hotel. It is basically like "O" by Cirque Du Soliel (but cheaper) I loved it!
Here are my new bangs! What do you think? I haven't had bangs since I was 11 years old! I really like them but they do take some getting used to.
This is the little water person that splashed us several times before the show at La Reve, we were in the front row and apparently in the "splash zone" I thought the lizard dude was pretty freaky but Eric thought he was hilarious!
This is the Lizard dude swimming toward us, freaky, but cool!
This is Eric and I in Vegas at the awesome Cesear's Palace Mall at the Iphone store. We had to get my Iphone updated and after we went to eat at the Cheesecake factory! Yum! White chocolate blueberry cheesecake is the best!!!!
Bangs!
This is some wonderful family friends posing with Meredith. Janessa is in the middle and she is getting married in August! and next to her is her mom Roxy, I love these guys so much!
Here are my favorite pair of jeans from high school that at some point after we got married I couldn't fit into anymore. UGH! Since I have been back dancing, running like crazy and watching what I eat I fit into them again! It can be done! I love those little shorts. :)
Here is my sister Meredith, her hubby Aaron and my cutest ever nephew Ben getting his hair cut. He isn't wearing a shirt and they gave him a sucker to keep him happy it was so funny!
Here is Eric's new love. A hyundai Genesis. It's fast, It's fun, it's WAY better than his old granny hyundai elantra!:)
Here is one of the end tables that I painted white. You will see the "before" picture next.
I redid all these small tables in white and they look great! I love home design, even though I am a total beginner.
I repainted our living room a beautiful blue. I love it! I just need to change the rest of the yellow to a white color and I will be done.!
Super Cool Sisters Steph, Karen, Mere, and Me. It was so fun to have Karen come visit!
I ran a 5k in March! at the time my miles were a little over 10 min and now they are around 9 minutes. Wow if you practice you DO get better!:)
Here are some headshots Eric took of me for my dance portfolio.

February
Eric wanted it to be a surprise where he took me for Valentines day so he put paper in my sunglasses!ha!
On Valentines it was dang cold and snowing so we had to really bundle up to enjoy our skiing! These face masks look so ridiculous and kind of scary but work great!
This is before the church Valentines Dance where we danced up a storm.
This is me skiing down Shady Lane at Solitude a couple weeks ago. We thought it would be fun to get some footage of my technique! It is a beautiful run and really fun to go down.

4 years ago on Valentine's Day
So 4 years ago on Valentine's Day is the day Eric proposed. I was SUPER shocked cause I thought he wasn't ready yet to get married but of course he was just throwing me off the scent so I would be insanely surprised when he flashed me the diamond ring and popped the question! It worked I was stunned for probably 3 minutes before I got the picture that the ring was in fact for me. :)
So now every Valentine's Day it is also a celebration/anniversary of when we got engaged! yea! Somehow Eric nearly outdid himself this year. He started the day out with beautiful flowers, then we went skiing and had a great time, then he told me he downloaded Twilight for me as a surprise and we could watch it that evening if I wanted. :) After skiing he took me to a great little restaurant called Chef G and it was a four course super nice dinner that was delicious. Halfway through the meal he handed me a little jewelry box across the table! I was shocked! I opened it and it was beautiful silver locket that I had told him I wanted over a month before. Way to go Eric. I started crying a little at this point cause he was being so sweet and surprising me so much. It made me feel so GOOD. Later that night before going to sleep he came in the room with a box of chocolates and a card. So sweet! I started crying again. Good tears.:)
Thank you so much honey for out doing yourself again and making me feel like a princess! Every year I feel closer to you and happier to be married to such an awesome guy. I love you.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
Me sleeping with some ski goggles on after Lasik, much more comfy than the cheap ones they give you to sleep in! Wow I look really coop. :)
Here are the 8 super amazing and adorable kids that were with us for xmas this year. 5 are Leslie's, 2 are Merediths, and 1 is Stephanies. From the left there is Josh holding Benjamin, Lauren, Maddie holding Reagan, Alisa, Zach, and Katie. I love these kids! And really it makes me so excited to have my own. :)
Me right before I went in for my eye surger, not my most glamorous moment but heh can't have everything right?
All the kids on Xmas morning doing their funny poses. I love it!

My Dad was the "Losercorn" for our animal game and he played the part well. j/k!
Katie, Grandmom, Leslie, Maddie setting up the Xmas tree.
Dad and Ben taking a little rest, anytime we put a kid in my dad's arms he would fall asleep and so would the kid, so cute!
It has been a very merry, exciting, and busy Christmas and New Year for our family. For Xmas we went to visit my parents and family in Kanab Utah and we both had a great time sledding with all the kids, eating good food, and playing tons of fun games! It was a great week and spending time with family is the best! For New Year's Eve Eric and I went up to his parents in South Weber and had a fun cozy time with his parents eating good food and playing fun games. On New Years day we spent the better part of it at his sister Natasha's brand new apartment. It was beautiful and so impressive it was so cool to see that her husband, Jake, and his father put the whole apartment together basically by themselves.
Other than family time Eric and I have been able to ski a couple times so far and plan on doing it a lot more in January, February and March. Woo Hoo! I am also proud to report that I got straight A's in all my classes this semester so that always feels good.
Most exciting for me is probably that I had the opportunity to get ILasik this past Friday January 2nd. The surgery was very intense, emotional, and scary, but quick. I posted the videos of it if you would like to view them. They are pretty creepy but pretty cool. The great thing about Lasik is the recovery is so easy and amazing! All I had to do was go sleep for a few hours after put in a million eye drops, sleep with my skiing googles and for three nights and have some mild discomfort. It is amazing though I can see and I don't need glasses or contacts! I keep thinking I need to go put my glasses on or take out my contacts but then I remember I can see almost perfectly already and those days of four eyes are over! It really is pretty great. Eric recorded the surgery in 12 segments so if you want to watch it then start with Lasik 1 and work your way to number 12 to see it in the best order. If you have questions post comments and I will try to answer the best I can. Enjoy!
Eric and I are looking forward to a great New Year and welcome 2009 with open arms!
