2011 =]

So, I just realized how great this year is going to be. There are a lot of fun things up ahead.

First off, I started a new job this year and I'm really excited about it! I'm officially an AST Assistant at Macy's (who knows what AST stands for...) - but I have my own office (I share it but I like to call it mine) and soon I'll get my own business cards. I know, I'm pretty special.

Next, in less than a month, I turn 21! I know..not that big of a deal since I don't drink, buuuuuuut it'll still be fun to say I'm 21.

In early April, Tanner John is expected to arrive! Taylor and Tabby are having boy #4! I hope he has pokey ears like Carter, because they're stinkin' cute! I love those kids. =]]

Then, on May 1st it's my one year anniversary! Can you believe it's almost been a year since I got married? OK, well it's still 4 months away, but that's way sooner than expected! And it's been a pretty awesome 8 months if I may say so myself.

Shortly after our anniversary, I start my Dental Hygiene program. The closer it gets, the more pumped I get about it. Finally, I'll be actually working towards what I want to do, which is really exciting to me. I just recently got the big letter in the mail telling me what I need to buy before I start, and it's fun to look for the different things I need (even if it's lab coats and safety goggles)! It's like my own lame shopping spree! Haha. Funny thing, my boss's wife is almost finished with the program I'm starting in May, so I get to talk to him about it every once in a while. It's makes me happy.

So, after I start my Dental Hygiene program, Summer is here! Which is wayyyy better than Winter, especially in Utah. Is it bad to say that I already hate the snow? I'm late to class every day because I have to scrape ice off of my windshield, which always takes longer than I think it will. I should probably get up a few minutes earlier, but then I wouldn't be able to blame the snow for making me late to class. Where's the fun in that??

Summer also means Danny and Errin's wedding! Wedding's are always fun..so I'm excited for it! Sometimes I miss planning for my wedding, but then I think how much better it is actually being married and I don't miss it as much. I think I'll relive my wedding prep days again when Juli gets married, because we all know she loves it when I help her. I mean, I AM her favorite sister. =]

Well, after the wedding, it's cutting pretty close to when our baby's due. Early September...

HAHAHA! Just kidding! I just couldn't think of much more fun stuff towards the end of the year so I thought I'd throw that out there. But don't worry Dad (or Ben) - I'm not pregnant!

The end of the year always brings fun with the holidays. Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas - always fun and fattening times of the year. But those are always exciting, so that's not really specific to this year. Unless we get an especially awesome present this year, but I doubt it. I finish school NEXT holidays (2012) so that'll be when I splurge and get a sweet A present! Haha!

Well, as you can tell, I'm in a very optimistic mood about this year. Let's hope that it only brings more good and no bad! Well, a little bad is OK..just not a lot. We like happy years =] So bring it on 2011! Bring it on!

Stuck?

Nothing says "Good Morning" like being stuck in your apartment! Seriously though - Ben and I were about to leave for school, but when we tried to open the door, it wouldn't open! Since when has that ever happened? So, Ben called maintenance from our apartment building and a little less than an hour later our door opened for the first time. The so-called $250 doorknob was busted. (Who pays $250 for a doorknob? That maintenance guy must have been lying...) Yes, Ben missed his first class, but I don't think he was too bummed about it. Luckily I got to my class in time to turn in my paper. How do you think my teacher would react when I told him I couldn't get to class because I was stuck in my apartment?? Ridiculous! Anyways, that's how my day started. But don't worry..I can freely leave and enter my apartment now! =]
