Disney-fied

I have officially Disney-fied my blog with a big playlist of Disney music. Eat your heart out!
I have had so so so much fun down in Florida!
Both sides of my family came to visit, and it was just fantastic. I am waiting for my mom or Molly to upload pictures from that family trip! There are some great pictures, it was so fun seeing everyone.
The week after my mom, George, Molly and Eli came, Chris came with Emma and Connor. They were so funny at Disney World.

Some Disney memories not to forget-
"I think her bathing suit is so ugly... she picked it out herself. Who wears a brown bathing suit?"
-My bathing suit is brown!!
"Well it's not the brown, the worst part is the organge... who wears brown and orange on their bathing suit...."
-MINE IS BROWN AND ORANGE!!
-Emma in the Tower of Terror line with the most serious face a 5 year old can make, "Lizzie, will we survive?"
-Rob forgetting us at Hollywood studios and me running after a strangers car
-Our splash mountain picture:


-Emma being my snuggle buddy and kicking Rob out of the bed.

-Connor on Rock N' Roller coaster...
"Now Connor, this ride goes upside down..."
-Ya like I'm gonna fall for that again...
"No really this time!"

-Emma's insanely fake smile with Belle. She only did this because we made her. Right when she stood next to Belle she smiled like this for the picture. I think she was getting sick of posing for us. Belle looks scared in this picture.




-When I said to the kids in the pool, "Now nobody pees in the pool, right?" and Emma slowly hides her head lower behind the pool wall....
-Getting stuck on the carousel of progress... twice!!!!!! ahhhhh CAROUSEL OF DEATH
-Chris taking Emma down with her when she tripped on Tom Sawyers Island.
-"That was the awsomest ride EVER!!!"- Emma after every ride... except haunted mansion which she had her head burried in our laps the whole time.
-Rob losing Emma from the stroller and Emma's breakdown while choking me.
"WE ARE IN THE HAPPIEST PLACE ON EARTH, NO CRYING!"
-Some famous woman from Argentina yelling to Rob from her parade float, "SMILE!"
-Emma making me pay her to let me dress her up and do her hair like a princess. "I'm only doing it for the money" is what she kept explaining to us.
-Connor on the great movie ride during the heist, terrified asked, "is this supposed to be happening??"
-Emma using all her souvenir money on stuffed animals. and ONLY on stuffed animals.
-Putting "sleeping Beauty" on the TV and only the boys were watching.

One Big Vacation

My life feels like one big vacation- which at no time is a bad thing!

After 2 months in Florida, hiding from the snow and partying with Mickey Mouse, we know where we are going this summer!

Washington D.C.!!

I am oh-so excited as this was my first choice back in the fall. Rob finally came around and we plan to head up to D.C. the second week of April!
Rob will continue selling security systems, and I will start working for the security company- called Pinnacle- as the office manager. I figured I should get a job at least during the summer months and not make Rob work alone.
We have some friends that we will be working with, which makes this choice even better! So excited.
So from Disney to D.C. can you see how our life is one big vacation? Everyone is welcome to come and visit! It's only 10 hours from NH!
The vacation should end come September, when we will journey back to Idaho for school, although, Idaho may feel more like a vacation to us by the time we get there- we love that place.

Puppy Love

We got our puppy and she has been a handful! Training is deffinitly not easy, but she is catching on really fast. It's only been a week and she seems to be keeping up.

I MISS REXBURG.

There, I said it. I miss that place so much and just want to go back. There is no place like that little town. I think I could live in Idaho.

I feel like I do not have a whole lot to write about. I have been taking my online credits, Robert has been working, and we have occasionally taken a trip or two to Universal to play.

It gets pretty boring when he has to work all day... and it's not even the summer yet! Come summer time, he will be out even later because he'll have more daylight! blah.
I do plan to get a part-time job once my semester is done, in April to keep me busy.

ATTENTION ANYONE WHO LOOKS AT THIS BLOG!
WE NEED PET FRIENDLY HOUSING FOR SEPTEMBER!
it may be a little early to worry about, but housing is tough enough to find in Rexburg, nevermind when you have a (super quiet well-trained) dog tagging along. hehe

I'm Back

I am no longer MIA. After so much moving, driving, un-packing, and starting school, I have found time to blog again.


I have huge news...
WE ARE GETTING A PUPPY!!!

I am sososososo excited! We are getting a 10 week old black pug. It is the most adorable thing ever, and she will be here on Thursday!



Now, I know many of you are confused, so I am, but what can I say, the pug won me over one day while Rob and I were walking through a puppy store.


Florida has been AMAZING. We already got to go to Universal Studios with Chelsea and Chris. That was super fun and they need to come visit again!

Happy New Year!

We had an amazing vacation in New Hampshire! We had a great time with family and friends, and love them all so much.
The road trip to NH was intense, about 3 days and lots of funny moments. I do not think I would ever drive that again, but it was fun being with my hubby.
Now we are down in Orlando, FL, setteling in and enjoying the gorgeous weather and warm temperatures! Anyone coming to Disney? You can stay with us!
I will post pics soon!

On our way

We are on our way to NH tomorrow!
Tonight we plan to go to Brigham City, UT for Robert's family Christmas party, and then we are off!
We have been having the most difficult time fitting all of our apartment into the car. We have rearranged again and again, and it is still not all in.
I am SOOOOO GLAD TO BE DONE THIS SEMESTER!
It was a rough one, with too- early classes and 17 insanely painful credits.
My next academic endeavor will start in January. I plan to take 13 online credits while Robert is working. Maybe even work part-time somewhere cool like Macy's. I love Macy's. (NOT the grocery store for all you Utahns)
I got THE CUTEST video from Molly and Emma yesterday. I wish I knew how to load it here from my phone. I did put it on facebook though!
Well, life is as exciting as ever, and we are loving every minute of it, (minus the packing).
We'll have pics on here soon enough from our road trip!

I Stand All Amazed

I am continually amazed at the comfort the Spirit can bring to our lives. Through all the finals, Robert's crazy work drama, moving, and other stresses, I can find comfort in my home, in my scriptures, and in my husband.

I want the world to know, I believe.

"I stand all amazed at the love Jesus offers me"

“I will not leave you comfortless. … But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you” (John 14:18, 26).
