Exciting news!!!

Marrying Robert has brought many opportunities into my life. It has been a wonderful time. Full of emotions, marriage is hard people. BUT what I have learned in my short period of marriage is, it is completely worth it. I love having someone to rely on when I am too emotional to make a rash decision. I love being able to bounce my ideas off of someone who will give me an honest loving opinion.


Together we have been able to build his EnkeDinkyDoo business. It is so awesome to be able to help him do something he enjoys plus he is AMAZING at it. (also look at instagram #enkedinkydoo) He is now twisting Monday nights at Texas Roadhouse in Lehi and Wednesday nights at Yogurt Bliss in Pleasant Grove.

Together we have been able to build relationships with his musician Origa. She came to our wedding and wrote and sang a song she wrote for us. She has also opened doors for us. Since we are her managers now we both have the opportunity to travel with her. We have been given the opportunity to go to Frankfurt in July for her performance.

Together we have been able to find jobs where we can both grown and thrive. Robert is working at a call center and I am working at a pharmacy billing center. Robert has been offered extra hours, already received a raise and this week they decided he can work there full time. (He was originally hired for 4 hours a day) They are also great because they work with his schedule for EnkeDinkyDoo and my school hours so it is easier for us to carpool. I started my job Thursday after interviewing Wednesday and being offered the job on the spot. Thursday they had me watch for a couple hours then had me working on my own. After working on my own all Friday they told me I'm moving somewhere else Monday because I'm too good at what they had me doing so they think I'll be able to do things others find more difficult. I'm really excited about it.

Together we have been able to find our stance on things. We were able to volunteer at the Pride festival in SLC. It was a great experience, we both got hit on quite a bit and it made me miss my GBF Kyle.

I love our little family! It is wonderful. I love Robert and I'm so glad I get him forever.

End of an Era

Unfortunately yesterday my time at Utah Valley Pediatrics came to an end. I knew it needed to happen but I didn't know when I would get the courage to do it. Robert and I had been playing what if games all weekend. Basically different scenarios that could happen at work and I told him if one happened I would quit. So yesterday I did. It was emotional leaving all the friends I made there and the awesome doctors I worked for but I needed to stand up for myself and do what I knew I needed to do. I turned in my two weeks requested to use the last of my vacation hours and got all my shifts covered for the next two weeks.  Crazy right?
I turned in a few applications yesterday and got called back within an hour for an interview. Today I turned in a few more and I have at least two interviews a day until Tuesday! I'm kinda enjoying not having a job. It is a break from the stress but let's be honest I'll get bored if I don't get a new job asap.
Let's all be excited for the new chapter in my life!!

Kennedy is HOME!!!!

After 18 months of being separated my KDawg finally came home! It is so nice having my little ginger devil back! We went to one of her companions homecoming parties a couple weeks ago and boy oh boy we were not prepared for what happened. It was a full on Luau! No joke, dancing, dead pig, endless amounts of Tongan's and food. It was awesome. We were the only white people there so that was sooo weird. 

Kennedy and I felt super awkward

Just another view of the foot

The first time we hung out we went to the Riverwoods it was really fun. Gosh I missed this girl

Mother's Day

First of all let me tell you, I have the best mom ever. Like no joke. Who wouldn't want Super Woman as their mom. But I did that whole my mom is better than yours last year so this year I'll just tell you what we did for her. Robert and I are incredibly poor (yay newly weds) So we couldn't afford to buy her a gift. Instead we taught Carmen, Lauren, Tea (Lauren's niece) and Danny (Carmen's boytoy) how to make a flower out of balloons. Then Robert made a vase. It was so fun and incredibly loud. We also had an amazing steak dinner thanks to Carmen. 

Happy Mother's Day to the best woman I know. 

Yogurt Bliss

After many tearful nights of stressing over our budget Robert decided he would take his balloon art to a local Yogurt shop. Now Robert twists there Wednesday nights from 6-8. I love going and watching him make things up. It is so great. Sometimes he just feels the need to be creative and this one of his outlets. 

This little girl wanted a smartphone...Use your imagination with this one.

This handsome little boy (Logan, my coworker's son) got a dog and we decided to use him to display Robert's balloon sign

This is "Ricky Rouse" 

This nerd in the making wanted an "Eye of Horace" 

I think this frog is adorable

This is the back of the cell phone

Okay so Dad is wearing a dragon hat and holding a cupcake.

I totally take the credit for this one because it was my idea. A Rattle Snake. I love it. and him. 

Papi's 90th

My Mom's dad just turned 90. This meant a last minute birthday party for him. And by last minute I mean four days of planning and figuring thing out. It also meant I got to see Robert in action at a party. Robert was soooo good at entertaining the kids and making endless amount of balloons for them. The line never ended (until it did)

I still think this is my favorite balloon he makes, a penguin. So adorable! 

Easter

Sometimes it is so nice living so close to my family. Not only my siblings but my parents too! It is also very very VERY nice that Lauren has a house that holds all of us when we want to get together. Downside is she lives in so far away in Payson. For Easter we all went to her house and had a traditional dinner. Ham, mashed potatoes, green beans and rolls. Of course we had rolls. We also had an egg hunt for Mr. Aidan. Unfortunately Brendan and Dahlia's family were with her parents so we didn't get to play with Mr Clay. Here are some pictures from that day. I can't believe how BIG Aidan is. He is going to be a lady killer. Remember when he was just a little chubscout?

I'm 95% sure he took a bite of the cake after this picture (I taught him well)

It is so nice having nephews old enough to really interact with
