OOPs!

ok so today i decided i was FINALLY going to change my blog! but WOOPS! I must have done something terribly wrong because i STILL have this UGLY PINK background! if anyone knows what i can do to change it... PLEASE let me know!

well im really kinda torked! ive been super excited to post fun pictures of all of the fun things we've done in the past little while... well thanks to the defaults of modern technology i cant! :) so maybe someday you will get lucky enough to view them! well the past week has been a pretty fun one! Thursday was Sams BIRTHdAY! big 23! Hes an OLD mAN! (compared to me) and so i decided it would be fun to throw him a SUPRISE party! which i did... only the next day! he decided thursday that he wanted to go to the temple.. how do you refute the temple without giving away that you have a suprise party planned for him? so he got it a day late! it was still a blast there were lots of friends there and pretty much our entire office showed up! for one of his gifts, he got ROCk BAND! so that was the hit of the night! it was fun to see everyone JAMmIn' OuT~! HAPPY late birthday babe!!! i LOVE YOU so MUCH!!! It has been so nice for me to have the past little bit off... and by bit i mean week! i have loved every minute of it! but i think sam will be happy to have me at work again so that i stop spending all of his money! i just cant help it... we live by some AWESOME shopping! :) also recently we decided netflix was the way for us to go... we love watching movies but to rent one besides at a red box is like $4... kind of ridiculous! so we decided if we get netflix it would pay for itself which it has already! whoever came up with the idea of sending people whatever movies they want whenever they want for such a low price had a GREAT idea. i definetly reccomend it if your movie junkies~! also andy and jen congratulations on the new baby girl! she is beautiful! i love living with a baby!!! in fact the other night i was saying the prayer for dinner and i said " we are so thankful for the spirit of OUR baby!" i was like oh no katie is going to think im a crazy person who thinks her baby is mine! ha well anyways thats not what i mean i was going to say " we are so thankful to have the spirit of A baby in OUR home!" it came out wrong and needless to say there was a bit of chuckeling throughout the rest of the prayer! i think now im just talking.. sorry this is so long! i hope someday my pictures will get downloaded on here because we have lots of fun ones to share! we love and miss all of you and hope everything is going good! Grandma and Grandpa.. now that you have a blog you NEEd to post things on it! we like to know whats going on in your lives too! :) we love you all!

*lots of fun*

well i guess its about time that i post something new! it seems like i rarely have time to do it! so why not now! the past few weeks have been really great! my family came down and we partied hard! it was so much fun to have everyone together and to do SO many cool things! we were able to experience alot of new things! baseball games, wicked, nauvoo, the nauvoo temple, a wii tournement, shopping, and food! it was such a great time! thanks mom and dad for everything you did for us! your so wonderful! also work has been going good! there is a girl named shannon that is a salesmans wife... she needed a job so me being the SWEETHEART that i am... offered to give her half of my hours! :) so now i only work 3 days a week! it is WONDERFUL! my husband is so awesome for letting me be lazy! i love him so much! also sunday me, sam, and 6 of our other friends went into chicago. we went to the Linclon Park Zoo which is one of the only free zoos in the country. that was way fun and there was also a jazz festival going on in the park and BB King was playing so we went and watched that for awhile! there were thousands of people there it was fun! the funny part about this story is however that on the way home we took the train.. we waited to for the wrong one, and got on the wrong one! we ended up in the GHETTO about 30 minutes from our car! it was POURING rain and the train station was locked! we huddled into a little bus overhang until we could get someone to come and pick us up! it was pretty funny! and we all made it safe home! Sam is doing really well with work! he is such a hard worker and i am so proud of everything he has done! my job is good too especially because im not working as much! maybe at least one of us will keep our sanity now! well we hope all is well i will post pictures of all of our fun adventures on my next post! also if anyone is wanting to come to chicago this summer! we have a nice floor to sleep on! :) fill free to stay with us! love you all!
