Happy New Year!

Ellie stood in for Matt haha!
Our cute little prego Shalie and her hubby Alex!
Our cute little prego Elster and her hubby Chris!
Our cute little not prego Sarah and her hubby Tyson!

I really can't believe how fast the last year went by! It was a pretty good year, Matt came home from his mission, Mom got hitched along with the rest of my friends. haha.. I graduated beauty school! I'm excited to start a new year especially now that Matt is here with me! 

We had a lot of fun on New Years Eve, it was a little Snow College reunion! Poor matt was really sick from his second round of the chemo so he spent the whole night in on my bed. Poor thing, I felt so bad! He was so sweet to come though... We had a good time talking and catching up.

We got a little Guitar Hero in... Which is always the high light of MY night! :)

We played some Wacky Six... Shalie and Al finally got the hang of it! haha we also attempted to play 99, but everyone was too busy talking so we just decided to bag the game idea haha! 

It was so good to see everyone, it felt just like old times! This needs to be a monthly routine. What do you think ladies!?

PARTY TIME!!!

These are just a couple pics I took with my fancy new camera on Christmas Day! :) My two favorite people, my Mommy and my MAN! 

Well... It's sad but true, the festivities of Christmas have come to an end. :( I had a wonderful Christmas with my family and with Matt, it was so nice having him home for the holidays! I got some fabulous gifts and really just enjoyed having the day off and relaxing! 

Well now that Christmas has come and gone... guess what time it is!! Yup.. You guessed it... It's PARTY TIME!! I just wanted to remind all you dear friends of mine, that we are holding our first annual New Years Eve party! So bring your significant other and come join in on the fun at MI CASA. The events will be held obviously on Wednesday Dec. 31, 2008 and the party will start at 8:00!!! Matt and I would love to have all of you there to celebrate the New Year with us.. If  you cant come spend the whole night with us, we would love it if you just stopped by for a little bit too! Now we just want you each as a couple to bring one of your favorite treats and/or  beverage (preferably non-alcoholic... we have a lot of prego friends!!) haha ;) and we thought it might be fun if each couple brought their favorite game to play with a big group of people! 

We are going to have a lot of fun and I hope you can all make it!! Please call me or text me and let me know if you are coming and what you are going to bring, so that Matt and I can get things that people aren't bringing!  801-376-1360... Call or text me ASAP and I hope you all had a fabulous Christmas! :) LOVE YOU ALL!!! 

Yay for updates!

There isn't a whole lot to update on but whatever right...

Matt has been doing really well, a little sick to his stomache here and there and some painful joint pain but for the most part he has been feeling fine. Well at least that's what he tells me! I know that he doesn't want to make a big deal of anything so I'm sure that he keeps somethings to himself, which is retarded but what can you do!? I'm so proud of him and the attitude he has had throught this all. I have seen many blessing come from this trial in our lives so I can honestly tell you now that I am grateful for the cancer.

Work has been going alright... I am slowly getting more clients. I love doing hair, but boy can building a clientelle get frustrating! I can see why alot of girls quit after beauty school.... But I can promise you I wil not be one of them! We started a new promotion at the salon so hopefully I'll start getting more clients here in the next couple weeks!

Everything else is going well, my family is great, the house is finally done being remodeled! It's about freaking time! It looks soooo good! Matt and I are planning a little New Years Eve get together and it will be nice to have all the room for people to visit! Speaking of this PARTY... We are going to start a new tradition! An anual couples New Years Eve party! This year it will be held at my home! So, if your reading this then you are obviously one of our dear friends and you and our spouse or significant other :) should come!! It will be alot of fun! Let me know if you want to come and I'll give you more details!

Well that's it for now folks! Thanks for reading and have a fabulous day! :) XOXO

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!!
