American Idol

It is all about 16 year old David Archuleta! He is amazing! Not only does he have a fabulous voice but he is also such a cute and humble kid. He is America's next American Idol! I hope you enjoy the video I posted of David singing.

Mike's Music

Mike's favorite song is "Winter" by Joshua Radin. So I put it on our blog. Hope you all enjoy it!

Our Valentines Evening

We had a wonderful Valentines Evening. Mike brought me home the most beautiful red roses and then we had a delicious dinner. Mike set up a candel light dinner for me. We got Macaroni Grill to go. It wa so yummy and best of all we didn't have to cook it! I got Mike a card and of course wrote something meaningful in it. Then we went and saw Jumer at the movie theater. It was a good movie. We really liked it. Overall, it was a great evening!

We are MOVING!!!

We are moving to California at the end of April this year. I am going to be the Office Manager for a summer sales company named Northstar. They sell Home security alarm systems. I have their website on my links if you are interested. Mike is going to be selling Mortgage Insurance still. We are really excited for our new adventure!

Patrick in "A Mid Summer Nights Dream"

We went to BYU's production of A Mid Summer Nights Dream last night starring Patrick as a fairy named Mustardseed. It was such a great play. They did an amazing job. Patrick is a great actor. Not to metion how the audiance loved his acrobatic and breakdancing skills. Sarah and Jessica came up to watch Patrick's play too. It was really fun to have them up here. We had such a fun time playing games and just haning out all night. It is always great to have some family together.

Mine and Kyle's Snowman

This post is well past due. About a month ago my cousin Kyle came and stayed with us. It was a bummer for him because he was on his family snowboarding trip but because he broke his collar bone he had to stay with us and not snowboard! We ended up having a fun time anyway. We had a snowball fight and we built a snowman! I am sad that he couldn't go snowboarding but I am happy that we were able to have our cousin bonding time!!!

Our Busy Week

Well, the past week has been a busy one. My best friend Ashley and her husband Paul welcomed their new baby girl into the world. Brooklynn Merie Giddings was born on Jan. 23rd, 2008 at 5:24pm. She was 7 lbs. 7 oz. and 18.5 inches long. Mike and I went and visited them in the hospital that night. It was so much fun, Brooklynn is healthy and beautiful. I love the peaceful feeling you get as you hold a brand new baby.

Then the next day I took Mike to the airport for his flight to Texas. Mike went to Dallas for a work convention. It was really last minute but it was well worth it. He met some amazing people and learned a lot about how to be successful in the Insurance business. It is fun for me to watch him learn about this new business. He really is loving it and he is learning a lot about how the industry works. While Mike was gone in Texas I learned to be brave and be home alone for four nights! I ended up dragging the t.v. into our room so I could play a movie while I slept so I didn't have to hear all the erie, creaking noises that our very old apartment makes. I was not really sure what to do with all my free time and boredom with Mike gone so I decided to rearrange our apartment. It was a good idea at first until I got half way up the stairs with out entertainment center and couldn't figure out how I was going to get it up the rest of the stairs by myself. But if there is one thing I have learned being raised by a single mother is that I can do anything that I put my mind to. So I took a moment to laugh at myself for taking on such a huge task and then some how I managed to get it all the way up the stairs. I was a little bummed that no one was there to see how amazing I was for accomplishing this crazy task! So I treated myself to a bowl of ice cream and some Tylenol for that sore muscles I knew I would have shortly. After I finished rearranging the house I rented movies and stayed in bed having a chick flick day and resting my sore muscles on Saturday! On Sunday, I went to my Aunt Traci's house for dinner and to hang out. We had Enchilada Casserole and it was so delicious.

That night we found out about the death of our Beloved Prophet Gordon B. Hinckley. He was such an amazing man and I am so grateful for his dedication and devotion to our Father in Heaven and our wonderful Church. He will truly be missed but on the other hand I am so happy that he can now be reunited with his wonderful wife.

Well, that was our week. Now I am just hoping for no snow tonight because I have to drive to Salt Lake to pick up Mike. And anyone who knows me knows how well I do driving in the snow and how much I love it!!!
