Scott and I had our 5 year wedding anniversary on Thursday! Wow, 5 years seems like a long time. But at the same time, it feels we have been together and through so much that I can't believe it has only been 5 years!
I chose this picture to post as a memory, kind of a cheese picture, but it's cute. You can see the professional photos here.
To celebrate, my friend from work came over to babysit and Scott and I went to a really nice restaurant called The Creek. After we went to chapters! Haha, real romantic I know! We weren't the only couple thinking Chapters. We ran into our bishop and his wife who were also celebrating their wedding anniversary of 12 years.
We didn't plan to spend any money on gifts, but we both ended up getting each other something. Scott bought me earrings and nail polish, which lately i always seem to have my finger and toe nails painted something funky. So very fitting gift. I decided that I didn't want to spend any money (since we don't have any) and did an idea like this.
It was actually pretty fun to do. Since we have Boston to take care of (and little money), we do stay in a lot and really don't mind, but we are boring and when Boston goes to bed, we basically watch tv or play on our computers/phones. For this reason, I thought of 12 stay at home dates! I didn't go all out and include everything I needed for each date into the envelopes but I did wrote up 12 date nights and simple descriptions and placed in each monthly envelope.
I found a few dating websites, but The Dating Divas had the best ideas for what I was looking for. I'm not going to post the 12 date nights I picked, don't want to spoil the dates for Scott. I will try and remember to post about them after each month.

Happy Birthday Scott
Scott turned 28 on Wednesday. He requested pizza and home made Oreo cookies. All great choices. Boston went a little crazy over the pizza. After he finished his plate, he went into the kitchen, pulled the pizza box off the counter and once the pizza fell to the floor, picked up a piece and ran into the living room one happy guy.
Scott was surprised at his collection of gifts. I am assuming since we live far from our family he thought that he wasn't getting much. But my family and his parents would never have forgotten about him! It is fun having a little person in the house now, makes birthdays and opening gifts more special and entertaining.
Scott scored a new book to teach Boston Steve Jobs best quotes, a winter dress coat, $50 cash to spend on something special (like me), mini eggs, $50 iTunes gift card, A&F sweatpants and A&F cable knit sweater!
Happy Birthday Scott, we love you!

Wedding and Race
Busy, busy week and weekend.


That night, Alyssa, Scott and I got back into the Rav and drove 5 hours to Edmonton. Went to bed on Alyssa's couches at 2am!
Monday - Went to work and then went to a lady in my wards house to babysit her kids, all 6 of them!
Tuesday - I took the day off work and studied for my accounting exam I had. It was a home study class I have been doing over the last few months. The test was downtown at 2 pm and by the time i finished the test and drove home it was time to go visiting teaching. When i got home, i went for a bike ride with a friend.
Wednesday - Went to work and came home and worked on the guest book i was making for my brother and Tami.
Thursday - Went to work and after work went to the nice eyeglasses place and finally picked out a pair of prescription sunglasses that both Scott and i could agree on. Then drove all around town trying to find white picture frames for the wedding on Friday. Basically non-existent. Got home, crying and soaking wet from the rain. I was suppose to go pick up my bother from the airport at 9pm but Scott went by himself instead. I went back out after calling my mom for more ideas on were to find white pictures frames, which end up being Ikea. Then got home and finish up the guest book.
Friday - Got up early and packed for the weekend. Got a phone call from my mom in Lethbridge and they moved the wedding inside (due to the rain) and asked me to print off 6, 8x10 photos of the happy couple. Jeff and I head to Wal-Mart spent an hour printing pictures, came home finally, finished packing and drove to Lethbridge. My brother and Tami got married that afternoon and it was wonderful wedding. So happy to have Tami in the family!!! I will post more pictures when i get them from Tami. But until then, here are 2 of their engagment photos. Leah Karch took them and also took their wedding photos. http://leahkarch.blogspot.com/

Saturday - Woke up at 7am, got ready, eat an egg for breakfast and we all hopped in the car and drove downtown to run our first ever 10 km race!!!
Our number 1 fans, Scott and Becky (Alyssa's roommate)!


Lining up...


And we are off!


Coming up to the FINISH line! (And the boys in the pictures are in the 5km race, not the 10km!)


Eating a banana after... they gave you breakfast after.


The results!!! We didn't do that good with our age group, but i am pretty sure all the guys that made it back in about 30 minutes were all our age! I believe they said there was 750 people in the 10 km race. And overall we came in at 366 and 367. Our time was 1:00:57. Our goal was 1 hour, so it was almost perfect!


Sunday - Church, family, yummy sunday dinner and back into the Rav and drove back to Calgary!
Today - Blogging, picking up sunglasses, going to the bank, booking hotels, cleaning house, packing, washing car, finding my misplaced iPod (might be at work) and so much more!
Tomorrow - Off to New York City!
Having fun and being dumb
Scott and i have been really busy with work and school lately... In other words we haven't posted anything for a long time.



Scott started a new job on Thursday selling cars at Heniger Toyota! He is really excited and after the first day of work came home and told me it was the best day of his life! (so if you need a new car, come visit him) The other sales people are shocked at how much he knows about cars! (and i am sure they are scared that he is going to be WAY better than them!)
I have just been working at Colt like always and going to school a couple times a week at nights to finish up my interior decorating certificate. I only have a few more classes left and i will be done in June so i am looking forward to having time after work to do anything i want!
Here is some random pictures we took a week or so ago. Just being dumb and having fun with ourselves.
