Happy Birthday Mindy & Missy

Yesterday, for Mindy and Missy's birthday, Mindy, Dustin, Missy, Jen, Brady and I all met at Mi La Cai for dinner. Since I just work down the street, I arrived first and got us a table. Shortly after, Mindy, Missy and Dustin walked in and Missy was dressed like she was going to a funeral! I asked her what was up, and she said the attire was because she was getting older - can't believe they turned 28, wow times flies! I thought it was so funny for her to wear all black, bright red lipstick and a black veil over her eyes, she's hilarious. Then Brady walked in and was just looking at Missy perplexed and said "apparently Gaga has decided to join us for dinner tonight." Then Jen walked in and we all laughed a minute then Missy took the veil off and we ordered our dinner. I got my usual, the egg roll meal with vermicelli noodles and Brady got the pineapple chicken......yummy. We had great conversation and a great time.

After dinner, we all went over to Mindy and Dustin's because they had to get back home to the girls. Jen was really sweet and had ordered an ice cream cake for Missy so she picked it up on her way over to Mindy and Dustin's, so when she got there, we sang "Happy Birthday" to both of them and ate the cake, which was SO good.

It was a great night and I am so lucky to have the sisters that I do; I don't know what I ever did to be so lucky. One year for Christmas Mindy got Missy a frame that said "Sisters by Chance, Friends by Choice" and put a picture of us 3 in it. I love that saying because we are sisters by chance and friends by choice. I love them both so much and am so blessed to have them as my sisters. Happy Birthday to them!!

5 Year Anniversary

I can't believe it's been 5 years since Brady and I got married! Wow, time flies. For our anniversary this year we went to La Caille, it was so much fun. I went there once in 9th grade and remember getting all dressed up and having a fun time so I was excited to go again. We came home from work and got dressed up and headed up there.

The food was really good; for an appetizer we got crab cakes, for our entree I got salmon and vegetables with an apple walnut salad and Brady ordered the cornish game hen with vegetables, something he has never had before, and the same apple walnut salad. We were pretty full at this point, but it's our anniversary so we had to get dessert! He got the ice cream and fudge crepes and I had a dessert trio plate - it came with creme brulee, a chocolate fudge cake and some donut things, oh my gosh they all were so good. We then walked around and looked at the lights and headed home. It was a fun night and something I'll always remember.

I'm a College Grad!

Last night I gave my final business presentation and am officially a college grad! My business plan for was an all-women's running company since I really enjoy running. I wanted to focus on an industry or business that interests me, otherwise it would have made for a really long semester! The presentation went better than I could have imagined; the teachers gave me positive feedback and suggestions for things I should change. I walked out of the conference room feeling like a ton of bricks had been lifted off my shoulders, a great feeling.

I walked into my house to see that Brady had decorated - how sweet is that? I have the best husband ever, he is so great to me and I'm one lucky girl. When I walked in he sprayed me with silly string and yelled "Congraduation!" I mean, c'mon, who does that? He's amazing.

The little army men in this picture represent that "even 1,000 army men couldn't stop you from reaching you goal" and the money is supposed to represent the money I'll make now that I'm graduated. He's so creative.

I love the "great work grows here" banner.

Now that I'm done with my Bachelor's, I've signed up to get my PHR (Professional in Human Resources Certification) through SHRM. It's a 12-week course through USU which is held at SLCC. It will be a good thing for me to have on my resume so I'm excited about that.
