Fun on the run!!

Matt and I went to do a little shopping at the mall, you know how we love the Christmas shopping crowds! On the way home Matt was being quite funny so I thought I better bust out the camera and snap some pictures! lol... Oh good times! We truly do try to find the JOY in our JOURNIES! 

One down... three to go!

Matt underwent his first round of Chemo on Friday. As you can see he made the best out of the experience! He's such a goof! I love it... part of the chemo is this medicine or I guess you could call it Poison... anyway they call it THE RED DEVIL! Well after they finished putting this through is IV he went to the bathroom. He said that his pee was Kool-Aid red! He thought he should probably document this moment by taking a picture of the face he made when he saw the bright red urine! hahaha... 

He came out of the 6 hour treatment with a smile. He's doing fine so far, not to sick, just a little tired! We are interested to see how his body deals with all the poisons they have injected into his sweet little body.

We just want to thank all of you for your prayers and concerns! We love you all and we are so grateful to have you in our lives!! xoxo!

Brett and Alexis Johnson

It's official, they are hitched! Matt and I were able to go up and see them come out of the temple and then we went to the luncheon. Lexi looked BEAUTIFUL.. and Brett didn't look so bad himself! ;) They were so happy, both of them just glowing with excitement! Matt was pretty excited too as you can see! :) What a handsome man.. how did I get so lucky? The picture of Matt and I was taken on the way over to the luncheon which was so yummy! They had it at an Italian restaurant at the Gateway mall, I cant remember the name of it... Biaggi's maybe! The wedding video they put together was so so cute! They are such a cute couple! One more friend on the bandwagon, and Susan Kohler is joining it in 2 weeks. Matt and I might jump on in a few months! :) I will say that being at the temple and attending all of the wedding festivities had Matt and I pretty excited about getting married! Anyway, I'm so happy for Brett and Lexi and I love them both alot alot!!

BFFL'S

Matt and I both have been blessed with such amazing friends in our lives. Matt's best friends all got together and decided to shave their heads in his behalf. Although we had a lot of fun in the process, I had a hard time fighting back tears. It wasn't a big deal to some, but it was a huge deal for others. We love you all so much and are so thankful to have such great people in our lives. After the head shaving party the boys all waited for Matt to arrive, he was quite surprised when they handed him a gift bag full of all of their locks. Then we all went out to dinner at Los Hermanos. It was a pretty exciting night, and a very unforgettable one. Oh and yes... they all have steps on the right sides of their heads. haha 

Uhh...

P.S. I hate Mac's when it comes to editing pictures! I need a lesson or something, I couldn't even figure out how to just turn the stupid things! So... I apologize for the pictures where you have to tilt your head or turn the computer screen to see right side up. haha... 

Thanksgiving with the Lovelace's

This weekend was an absolutely fantastic vacation! We loaded up in a couple cars and drove the 8 hours to Apple Valley, CA to spend Thanksgiving with the Lovelace crew... we had so much fun visiting with everyone and of course it was so great to be with Matt all weekend. We had a wonderful turkey dinner that was prepared by Aunt Shelley mostly and a few other hands that jumped in to help! It was delicious!

On Saturday we got to drive down to the Beach. We went to Seal Beach first and walked around the little shops and walked down the peer and took lots of pictures. It was a beautiful day, not too cold, a little windy but the sun was shinning! After playing on Seal Beach we went to In and Out burger... mmm... Then we drove the 15 mins. over to Huntington Beach and did a  little shopping there and watched the beautiful sunset!

It was so much fun just being with the people I love and relaxing! We played games and ate, ate and ate some more! Matt and I got to ride in the back seat with little Tyce and boy is he just a little ray of sunshine! He's so sweet and he has a giggle that will melt anyone's heart! I wish that I could put every single picture up on this blog because they are all so great, but here are just a few of my favorites! I had so much fun as you can see and I have the greatest soon to be inlaws! They are all so sweet! And I have the best boyfriend/best friend in the world! I really hate that we had to come home and that we have to go back to work tomorrow! But I guess there will be more vacations to come...

I'm so excited for Christmas and snow! Something about this time of year is just fabulous! Love is just in the air at Christmas time! And my favorite part... Christmas music!! Yay!!! Matt wouldn't even let me play it in the car until after thanksgiving! So you better believe that Friday morning, the first thing I did in the car was make a Christmas playlist on my ipod! :) 

Well I guess that's all for now folks! Loves!! :)

A quick update! :)

So it has been a while since I blogged last and I thought I would just give some updates... not that anyone really reads my blog.. haha anyway, I just started at a new salon called Naturally Yours in Spanish Fork. I really liked my old salon I was at, it was just too hard coming up with booth rent every month and I just needed a little bit more structure. So I've only worked there 2 days now but so far so good. I really like the girls that I have met so far and I hoping I'll start to build more of a client base here at this salon. Cross your finger! I'm also working part time at my mom's facility the Center for Change as a Care Tech. It's been good so far I guess... Having 2 jobs has been really quite frustrating, I didn't think it really would be but it is. When you want a day or weekend off you have to deal with covering 2 places rather than 1. And right now at the Center I don't really have a set shift so I am working as an on call tech, which means I have to go in whenever they call me on the days that I'm on call.. Sometimes they call, and sometimes they don't. I'm hoping that a set schedule will open up soon. That would make my life much easier.
Matt and I are doing fabulous. Gosh I love him! He is such an amazing guy. He has been thrown a serious curve ball this last week and he is handling it far better than I would! I lucked out and got my shifts covered at both jobs and I get to go to California with his family for Thanksgiving! I am super excited! That's pretty much it for now... I cant really think of anything else! So until next time I suppose! xoxo
