Woo-Hoo for Macaroni Grill

So I just wanted to blog about how much Will n I love the Macaroni Grill!!! We went there tonight and met our friends Vaughn and Nicole Jackson and their little kids Tyson and Taryn. It was sooo much fun. They have the best chicken salad ever. I can't remember the exact name of it but it has chicken, tons of spinach, bacon, and a really good dressing. Will always gets the Chicken Parmesean and he loves it. So if ya ever get a chance to eat at the Macaroni Grill, TAKE IT, it's the bomb.com!!!!!!!

WILL IS GOING TO SCHOOL!! AND THE GYM WAR IS ON!!

WILL'S FIRST COLLEGE TEXTBOOK(MATH)!!! YAY!!! GO HONEY YOU'LL DO GREAT!!

Will n I have both decided that 2009 is going to be a different year for us. We have decided that we are not taking the best care of our bodies and we are changing a lot!!! Will has started this new body by Arnold (ya know the Terminator) program and I have just finished a two-day fast to cleanse and started my own training session. In this last week we have seen some real changes in our bodies and in our attitudes as well. It's a lot easier to be in a good mood when you feel healthy inside. Also this week we went and got Will's registration complete and him and I both start school this Monday January 12th. I am so excited and proud of him. He will be working full time and taking 13 credits in the afternoons. Oakland Community College is really flexible so it works out great for Will's work schedule. He is taking Math, 2 Art Classes, and a Humanitites class. I am taking Torts II, Contracts II, and Civil Procedure this term. I have a feeling this semester is going to be crazy!!!! I only hope Will n I can find time to continue our gym routine. Will bought this really cool boxing speed bag kit with his gift card from Davi for Christmas(thanks doh-doh) and he is going to put that in our garage and teach me how to box. I have been watching UFC WAAAAAY too much and I really want to learn how to box and eventually learn everything. So today Will n I got to talk to Dylann on the phone and she kept telling us it's almost her birthday and we would ask her how old she is going to be and she would say "THIS MANY" and I know on the other side of the phone she was holding up four fingers but it was so cute and funny we laughed all day about it. Dylann told us that she wanted something from Michigan for her birthday. I can't wait till we can have some family and friends come out here and visit us so we can show everyone what we are doing and where we're living and share all the fun we are having. Ne ways, I have to get back to organizing some stuff for school, but we hope all is well with everyone and that everyone has a great week!!!

YES MAN!!!

Will n I went and saw Yes Man with Jim Carrey two days ago and it was soooo funny. We totally recommend it but it had a couple of parts that were a little gross so I wouldn't take any kids to see it. Also...... we finally have insurance. It's the very first time since we've been married and it is such a blessing. I went and filled a prescription yesterday and instead of paying $150 for it I only had to pay $30!!! WOO-HOO.

Will n I had so much fun on our vacation home for Christmas. We were able to spend time will all our family members and just had soooo much fun. It was really hard to come back to Michigan but now we're back......It's all good. It's nice to be in our own house and be able to sleep in our own bed. Ne ways, while home we stayed at Skip and Ellen's(thanks so much for everything) and enjoyed their fireplace to warm us up after playin in the snow. We took Nixan, Drake, and Dylann sledding and got Dylann and Nix on the snowboards and they did awesome. They are better than me for sure. Will also taught me how to snowboard and after a few falls I finally got the hang of it and it is sooo much fun. Will got me the cutest snowboard gear for Christmas and I was really happy because I hate to be cold. Skip and Ellen had a family Christmas party at their house and it was really fun we exchanged presents and played games and ate yummy food. Will got a really nice mp3 player and I got a very nice electronic picture frame. Thanks so much Skip and Ellen. We also went to a family party at Linda and Kevin's the next day. We ate a great breakfast and opened presents. Will got a new phone and I got a GPS for our car. Thanks sooooooo much. I can't even express how badly we needed a GPS out here in Michigan. My biggest fear is having to detour from my normal route and getting lost somewhere downtown but now I don't have that worry anymore. That afternoon we headed to Richfield for my mom's side of the family Christmas party. It was sooooo much fun. We ate and ate and then played a game where we put a whole bunch of presents in the middle of a circle and then we take turns openeing them and stealing and trading them. It was fun. Will got the gift he took which was binoculars, which is great since he didn't have any out here in Michigan. I got a cute neclace and bracelet and then I also got a purse that I brought. We sang a couple Christmas carols and it was so fun. Will n I both love spending time with Grandma Carol and Grandpa June. After the game was finished we all started playing a little basketball inside the church gym. I got to go shopping with McCall and Darci and Will hung out with Brandon, my dad and Grandpa June. I also got to see my cousin Shayla and that was great cuz we are really close and I feel like I just don't get to see or talk to her much cuz we are both so busy. On our vacation Will was able to spend time with his friends and go calling coyotes and looking for buffalos. I spent a lot of time at my parent's home cooking, hanging out with my sister's and sleeping. Will n I also spent a lot of time at McCall's house. I am so glad her family lives in M-town. We went to our annual family Christmas Eve party at McCall's and ate some yummy Mexican food. It was so fun to see her kids and all my famliy so excited for Christmas. The kids were running around and you could see the excitedment they had. We played bonkos and I won a table prize. WOO-HOO!! Thanks McCall and Brandon so much for all your hard work and preparating and making Christmas Eve sooooo much fun. Then we opened one present and some of my family headed home to prepare for tomorrow. Will n I stayed that night at their house and the kids woke us up at 6:15 to go see what Santa brought them. Drake, Nix, and Dilly Bop all got tons of fun toys and to see their faces was priceless. We played for a couple hours at their house and then went to my parent's house for our annual Christmas breakfast. AND OH MY GOODNESS, it was great. My mom makes this amazing breakfast casserole, which my dad makes us promise we won't make it or eat it only on Christmas, and my dad makes Crapes. It was sooo good. Thanks mom n dad. Then we opened presents. I got some awesome cute boots from McCall, gloves from Will and a gift card and electronic picture frame from my parents. Thanks so much for the gifts everyone. We got back to Michigan and unpacked our bags and it was like Christmas again to see all the good stuff we got!!!!!!! We spent the rest of Christmas day moving around from house to house playing games and resting and munching on Christmas goodies. We also went down to my Grandpa Dale and Grandma Carla's house. They seemed really good. I was excited to see them. My grandpa had been having some hard health times, but he seemed great!!!!! We spent the days after Christmas watching UFC(I'm pretty bummed Forrest Griffin lost, but oh-well), sledding, drinking hot chocolate, looking at the lights in m-town and enjoying time with family and friends. We also went bowling with my family in Cedar City. It was fun. My dad is so funny when he bowls, he does this little victory dance if gets a strike. I love it. Will n I both bowled crappy the first game and the second game Will bowled great and I did a little better. I kept teasing Davi about this boy at the bowling alley and she got mad but she knew I was joking. I also spent a lot of this vacation with Darci. I can't hardly believe how grown up and mature she is. It's crazy to me that she's in her third year of college. Go Darci!!! Ne ways, after bowling we went to see the movie Valkyrie. Skip met us at the theater. IT WAS GREAT. I totally recommend it to anyone to go see it. We have so many great and wonderful memories from this vacation and thanks to everyone who helped to make it soooo great. There's no place like HOME!!!!

Woo-Hoo!!! 2 down 1 more to go!!!

Hey everyone!!! So today I took my second of three finals and it has been really really interesting. I don't really know how I feel about them yet, there is so much information going through my mind on what I could've done better...but oh well. Tomorrow I am taking my criminal law final and then Friday Will n I are heading home for the Holidays and we have never been so excited to come home. There is nothing better than spending time with your family and celebrating Christmas. I don't know how much I will blog while I'm home. So if you don't hear from us for awhile, Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!!!

Uh...yeah studying........that's my life!!!

So I know I have not written in a while a very long while but we have just been really busy. Will got a new job and is getting all registered for school at Oakland Community College and I have finals in 4 days!!!! YIKES!!!! I am actually at the library right now. I needed a quick break from studying so I decided to say hello to everyone and we are so excited to come home next week. Take Care!!!!(and keep us in your prayers)law school is sure tough!!!

Big NeWS!!!!

Will has applied to go to Oakland Community College and we will know this week if he can start school in January. I am sooooo excited for him. He so deserves to go to school and he will finally have the opportunity to out here. WOO-HOO!!! GO WILL!!!!!

HellO Again Good Ol' MiChiGan!!!

Yes, it's official. Will n I made it back home in Michigan. We had so much fun Utah and it was reallly hard to leave. We had quite the experience on the tarmac waiting for our plane to take off. The pilot got on the speaker and told us that the plane was having mechanical issues and we wouldn't be taking off for a while, so we sat in the plane for over an hour before we finally got to take off. I was really nervous cuz I could see the mechanics outside working on the plane and sitting there for an hour, your mind tends to wonder and I started freakin myself out. Will pretty much slept through the whole ordeal which is great, I wish I could have. Ne ways besides that our flight was good. We got back to Michigan and it was SNOWING!!! I was so excited I wanted to come home immediately and put up my Christmas decor... but I didn't...yet!!!! Will quit his job and is going to be working for a water treatment plant. I am back in the grind of school and I decided that in order for me to stay awake and make it through these long next three weeks, I am going to totally need to drink at least one mountian dew a week. This is big for me becasue I used to drink soda when I was younger but I quit in high school and now I am going to start again all for the sake of an education. I'm going to post some pics of how pretty it is out here with the snow on the ground and some pics from our trip home. It was so fun to have Thanksgiving early with both of our families and just to see everyone was the best!!!

UtAH BabY!!!

Hey everyone. Will n I are in Utah for a couple days!!! We are so excited to be home. We surprised all our family and it is so much fun to be back in M-town!!!!

Will

So today is mine and Will's engagement anniversary. It has been two years since Will proposed to me. I know it might seem kind of silly having an anniversary for our engagement but it was one of the best days of our lives. We had been through a lot together at that time and when Will told me he loved me and wanted to be with me for all eternity, I felt like the luckiest girl in the world. I just wanted to take a second to blog about Will and how grateful I am for him. Never in my wildest dreams would I have imagined that I would really go to Law School, that was until Will encouraged me and promised me he would take care of us so I could fulfill this dream. He works so hard every single day and when he comes home at night all he wants is to see how my day was. He is the best. I am so happy to have Will as my husband. I'm a very blessed girlie!!!
_peace out
