Glad to Be Home!!!

Well Matt and I have seriously been all over the south western United States in under 48 hours.  It was really insane.  This weekend we went with my boss to a dental convention in Reno Nevada.  It was fun but I am sure glad to be home.  It started out at 2 in the morning Friday morning.  We went to bed at midnight that night so we slept for about an hour.  I  am not really sure why we even went to be.  We did plan on sleeping on the way to Vegas in the van but everyone was talking so we really only got about an hour.  We borded a plane to San Fransisco where we had a lay over.  It was kind of bitter sweet because that is the closest to home Matt has been in about 3 years. I know he secretly wished we where just staying there but we got on a plane about an hour after landing and flew to Reno.  We got there about 1 but could not get in our rooms till 3 so we went to go get something to eat.  On the way there we went through down town and it was kinda scary.  We passed a store called the "Black Hole" which was a piercing shop.  It became a joke through the whole trip but i was an eye opener thats for sure.
We got in our rooms, unloaded our stuff and went down to the exhibit hall. It was cool to meet the people that we get our supply's from and learn about all the new products that are coming out. Matt was kind of bored but i think he had fun trying to collect as many pens as possible.  We stayed there till 7 and everyone of us was super beyond tired because all of us where running on about 3-4 hours of sleep or less.  My boss took us to dinner and it was so yummy.  We went to a buffet that was in our hotel.  It was really nice of them because the dinner cost was bout 20 dollars a person.  Then we went up to our room for much needed sleep
The next morning my boss and i had a class to take on Implant Supported Dentures.  Most of the information was completely over my head but it was cool to go to.  I think i was the only one in the class under 40.  After that we drove over to Virgina City.  It is where the Comstock mining boom was for silver.  They still have all the stores there and even wooden side walks!  It was cool to go visit and we ate some of the best food i have ever had there.  Here are some pictures:

Anyways after that we went to the airport and got on a plane to Phoenix AR, where our lay over was.  We actually flew over Las Vegas so it was kind of counter productive.  Then we got on a plane that was parked right next to the Arizona Cardinals plane, so that was kind of cool.  We got into Vegas and i was so happy we did not have to get on another plane.  We got home at about 1:30 so it was about 48 hours we where gone and we got total of 10 hours of sleep but it was fun.  I am sure glad to be home though, i don't want to go to work tomorrow though :(

Vacations!!

So our month is pack full of vacations and I am so excited!!!

VACATION 1:
 Last weekend we went to St. George and stayed the night just to get away.  It was kind of an interesting experience.  The hotel we stayed in gave us a smoking room because they said that we booked a smoking room which we didn't but we just decided to tough it out.  The worst part about the room was we had a joining room and the door didn't lock so the other people could just walk right in our room but they didn't thankfully.  It sounds like it would have been a bad trip but it was so fun.  We just made the best of it and we had a really good weekend.  
VACATION 2:
It starts next Thursday Matt and i are going to go pet sit at his parents house because they are going to his brothers graduation at BYU! We just staying the night till Friday but it will be fun.  Friday night we are going to Mesquite till Sunday with my family for easter!!  I am so excited to be able to go lay out at the pool and spend some time with my family. :)
VACATION 3:
The weekend after easter (29th and 30th)  my boss is flying Matt and I, Him and his wife, Mom (bosses mom), Brother (bosses brother), and another Lab guy from cedar to Reno for a dental lab show!  We leave at like 2 in the morning from here to get on a plan in Las Vegas.  Stay over night in Reno and then come back Saturday night.  It will probably be a long two days but i will be fun hopefully.  


After we get back from that then we only have finals week left! I am so glad this semester is almost over, it has been the hardest semester yet.  Matt graduates on the 6th and then i will graduate in December, Yay!!.  Then on the 15th is our 1 year anniversary :)  this year has flown by.  We are also going to the Temple in May!!. 

So Busy

Matt and I have been so busy.  We barley get to see each other, it is so sad.  This week has been the worst.  Both of us have been getting off at 6:00 and seriously we have like 3 hours left in the day to to homework, eat dinner, clean up the house and try and spend some time together.  Matt has also been playing in a racket ball tournament this week.  He has been playing from 6-8.  it was fun to watch him play but i felt like i didn't even get to see him.  We both have had tons of homework and tests this week.  Seriously we are both just like mentally drained by like 9:00 and we just go to bed (we get up at like 5:30)  I can not wait till school is done!  There will be so much less stress in my life with out school.  Matt graduates this semester, he is so lucky.  I graduate in December so i don't have that long but i am doing my minor and i hate it.  I decided to do psychology as my minor because it was super fast and i just want to be done.  I feel like psychology causes me so much stress.  I just wish we were done with school and we didn't have to work so late. :(

New Family Member :)

So this Saturday Matt and I added a new member to our family!  We bought a baby hamster! Seriously she is super cute.  The place we live does not allow pets but we have one.  She is super small, she is smaller than the like spoon part of a small spoon.  She is a little nervous but she is starting to warm up to us.  Her name is Chloe, for a while she was named Sophie but we changed it this morning to Chloe, ha ha.  Anyways it should be fun.  

Such a GOOD DAY!!

So today was seriously one of the best days i have ever had.  Matt and I were both in really good moods.  We woke up early and went to the gym.  I kind of have a hard time getting up but it really was not that bad.  Work went by so fast and everything i was working on was going smoothly (nothing ever goes smoothly at work) School even went by fast and a class Matt and i had together got canceled so we decided to go get a treat.  We went and got bread sticks from little cezars and then a frosty from Wendy's.  Matt had a job interview today and he said it went really well.  Its just like a secretary ish kind of job but his other two are ending in April so it would be really nice if he got this job.  It also comes with health insurance and seriously that would be so good.  When i went back to work after school my boss told me they are giving me a DOLLAR raise!! seriously i don't know what could make for a better day.

Date Night :)

So last night we went to St. George with our neighbors that live above us. It was so fun!! We went to dinner at olive garden and it was so good!! Then we went to Fiesta Fun.  It was the first time any of us had ever been there and it was pretty fun.  I think the Go-Carts were my favorite!  We played miniature golf and we spent our tokens in the batting cages.  I was a little nervous but i hit 13-15 balls, i was kind of surprised.  It was so fun to go out on a date and i loved the warm weather in St. George, it makes me wish we lived there instead of cedar.  We wanted to take our camera but we can not find the battery charger so we just took some pictures with our phones.  Some of these pictures are a blurry but oh well.

  

Matt started out good a miniature golf and 

then did horrible at the end.

Matt's favorite thing was the batting cages!

Such a SAD DAY!!!!

OK well today Matt and I are just full of sad news :(  So the past couple of weeks Matt and i  have been going up to salt lake for a job that Matt applied for.  It was looking like he had pretty good odds of getting it.  Well today he gets an email saying that he no longer gets to progress and he is disqualified.  It was just so sad... but at least he got to interview and hopefully he will do better next time.  So we both go back to work and do what we do every other day but it got worse.  When I got home from work Matt told me he had more bad news.  The job he is working at now ends April 1st and his other job at the school ends in May when he graduates.  Anyways, hopefully something will come up for Matt but at least i still have my job.
