I haven't blogged for awhile! sorry kailey and keaden! Clay and I have just been working and Clay's going to school at ITT in the Architecture program where he is doing GREAT! He draws so well! I am working on getting my schedule set up at UVSC again, so hopefully I can be in the Elementary Education program in January! Clay's working for Pepsi still and I work with preschoolers with Autism. It's hard to write about us now because everyone usually sees us all the time! I had fun today babysitting my niece Ryan, she is so cute! I don't have any new pictures to post yet, sorry!! I will do better!

We have MOVED!

Saturday morning, we picked my dad up at the airport and then picked up the rental truck. We spent a couple hours loading all of our stuff and then we headed back to Utah! Me and Clay both had to drive our cars, it was such a long drive. I don't think I have ever sang to myself for that long before. We made it home around 9, and unpacked a little and went to bed. Thanks to Ashlie, Kyle, Keely, Craig, Grandpa, Mom and Daniel for helping unload the truck!!! THANK YOU ESPECIALLY TO DAD for helping us so much! We are glad to be back with our family and friends.

A day on the strip with Clay's buddies

Tyler and Lance came down to hang out so we took them to the strip. Of course we had to eat at the ESPN zone. We rode the NY NY rollercoaster and then went to Circus Circus to play the games. We won so many stupid stuffed animals, but we had a lot of fun. After that, we went to the coke factory and tried soda from all over the world....we all gagged. Then they dropped me off at home while I made dinner so they could go gamble. None of them won anything. Yes it is 2 in the morning and I am still awake, we have been playing board games and watching movies.

7 Month Anniversary!



I know I know, you're supposed to save the top of your wedding cake for your 1 year anniversary, but with us moving we just decided to eat it tonight! We are a day late, but we were busy packing and running errands yesterday, so we decided to celebrate and eat the cake tonight! It was yummy! Here is my handsome hubby shoveling it in. We didn't even cut it, we just ate it right off the paper plate (since all my nice plates are packed). Happy 7 months to us!

Last day at work!

Today was officially my last day of work here in Nevada. I enjoyed my job at the hotel for the most part. Some days were really hard and long, but I got to meet really cool people. I met the big wigs from JELLY BELLY, SCONZA CHOCOLATE, GHIRADELI CHOCOLATE , & MICROSOFT. I got to meet BASEBALL PLAYERS from all over, BYU football players and BENGALS players, MISS AMERICA PAGEANT CONTESTANTS, The People from the show WHAT NOT TO WEAR, and lots of other really RICH people who spent well over $30,000 between spa visits and room service. How would it be?....It's nice to turn in my 'beautiful' gold and plum purple suit (thank goodness). If anyone wants to take a trip with me, my boss said I can still go stay there for the employee rate! which is pretty darn good. I learned lots of things working in the hotel business, heres some tips:
* don't book hotels from priceline or expedia or any of those sights without contacting the actual hotel first, they may have cheaper rates...those other websites milk the money out of you with booking fees and processing fees.

* don't complain too much, or the people at the front desk wont be very nice. If you ask nicely, you can pretty much get anything you want...do you know how much free stuff we gave away?

* make sure you ALWAYS keep confirmation numbers for your reservations JUST IN CASE. If the person who makes your reservation spells your name wrong, they have no way to find your reservation unless you have a confirmation number.
