ALOHA!!!

YAY!! We are finally on our way to Hawaii!! We are so excited.  We are sitting here waiting at the airport.  We got here a little bit early which is okay to make sure that we made it to the flight one time.  I don't want to miss this flight.  The flight today is 7 hours.  That is a really long flight but I think it will be okay.  When we get there to Hawaii we are going to go pick up a car then head to our hotel.  We are staying at the Marriot in Waikiki.  I am so excited just to land and see the beautiful Hawaii that everyone talks about.  I just wanted to say thank you to Derek for letting us go on this wonderful vacation.  I am so excited to spend some quality time with him.  Keep checking back for updates on what fun adventures we go on!!!

Update!

I wanted to take a couple of minuets to post a little update on our lives.  Derek is still going to school this is his second to last semester in school.  We are so excited to have him almost be done.  We were talking about moving to California when he was done with school, however, we thought more and more about it and decided that it would be best if we stayed here in Utah.  Hopefully something great is in our future here.  We are hoping to start a family soon so hopefully we will have some exciting news, however it is not yet so don't get too excited.

Derek and I are leaving for Hawaii on Friday for our anniversary!! We are so excited to head to Hawaii and enjoy some warmth and alone time ;).  We will be gone for 8 days and we are doing a whole ton of fun stuff!  I will post pictures and stories later.  We have been saving our money for 3 years to be able to go on this trip and we are going to be living like King's and Queens.  We are first heading to the island of Oahu and then heading to Maui where we will be celebrating our 3 year anniversary.

Well those are the main updates right now.  We are just loving our life and having so much fun with friends and family.  We have been spending a lot of time with friends and we are absolutely loving it!  We have been able to do some fun things with some really great people!  We hope to have some more fun times ahead!

Wonderful Weekend!

We had such a wonderful weekend, full of good times and good friends!  On Thursday we went to a private screening of Breaking Dawn Part 1, and it was very good! There were a couple of parts I didn't like but for the most part it was really good.  Then on Friday we went to the gym and did a great workout and then hung out together.  Saturday was my favorite day of the weekend! The first part of the day we went to Cody and Amber's and took their family pictures, they turned out so great and I just love their family.  Then we went straight home and I had to change to head to the gym with Jerkya Tolman for our workout session.  We had a great session and a great workout! It felt great to have a good workout, although my body is not loving it.  I am so sore today I can't believe it.  Derek had his first workout session in a long time, we think he actually pulled a muscle in his back so he is in a little bit of pain.  Then we ran home and started cooking Thanksgiving dinner because we were having a bunch of friends over for Thanksgiving dinner.  We have such great friends and it was so great to spend quality time with friends that are basically family.  We slept over at Derek's parents house Saturday night because Derek had the opportunity to go learn how the Tabernacle choir does their broadcasts from behind the scenes. He really enjoyed it and learned so much and thought it was a great experience.  I am grateful that he was able to do that.  I wish I could have gone.

I am so excited for this week!! Not only do I only work two days this week Monday and Tuesday but we are heading to California with my family for the Thanksgiving Holiday.  I will post lots of pictures and tell you all about it.  I am not sure how much fun it will be because we are going for my brother Matt's soccer tournament but we will be with family and I am just excited to get away with my husband for a little bit!

Frustrated

So I am really frustrated with myself, and I only have myself to blame.  I haven't been to the gym for a week and a half because life has just been so crazy busy and I haven't had time.  However, I could have made time and taken an hour out of my day but I didn't and I paid for it big time last night!  I went to the gym last night for a training session with my personal trainer and it was the worst training ever!!! I could hardly do anything I used to I am so weak now and I have no stamina.  I am so upset that I didn't just go to the gym I could have lost a lot of weight by now but no I decided not to.  All this is going to change starting yesterday.  It is my goal to be at the gym every night and eat right everyday.  I am going to loose these extra pounds and I am not going to let myself go that long again!

Update!

Wow it has defiantly been a long time! I always get on here to look at everyone else's blogs but never seem to take the time to update my own. That is all going to change.  Now that I have a job where I am on the computer all day doing nothing I have no excuse to not update my blog! So here goes trying to update it everyday!

Derek:  Can I just start by saying how proud I am of him and what he has accomplished? He is the most amazing man I have ever met.  He works so hard to provide for me and give me the best life possible.  He is a SUPERMAN!! The update with him is that he just got a job with Fox 13 working as a camera man for their morning news.  The only bad side is that his hours are from 4:30a.m. to 7:30a.m.  He had his first day today and he really enjoyed it! So now he has a full time job, full time school, and a part time job.  He is working so hard and I am so proud of him! I am so grateful for him being able to obtain a job with Fox 13 so that he can get his foot in the door and hopefully when he graduates we will be able to get a great paying job.  When he went in for his interview they couldn't believe his experience and said that he was over qualified for the job which is great because hopefully they will be able to move him up quickly.  He is going to school for Broadcasting and will hopefully graduate in the fall of next year.  He was lucky enough to get the News Directing position up at Weber State University which he was able to get a scholarship for.  He also received a scholarship from KSL for Broadcasting which means his whole tuition is paid for which is awesome!  He is doing so awesome and I am so grateful to call him mine!

Kristin:  Well my life isn't as exciting as Derek's.  I decided to receive my associates in school and stop going to school to support my husband.  I am working full time at Matchbin also known as Radiate Media.  Our company just changed names.  My title is Marketing Coordinator but I am really just a receptionist/office slave. lol.  I do whatever people need help with and answer the phones.  I really love my job and it has been a blast to work at.  Plus the pay is great!  I have also started going to the gym and hopefully start loosing weight.  It has been three months since I have started and I haven't been doing so great.  I started out strong but then started slowing down.  That is all going to change because on top of keeping up on the blog I am also going to start writing about my weight loss journey.  I became inspired by a family friend who is doing this and seems like it really helps to write out about your journey.  I am going to kick butt at this and loose weight.

Well I think that is the lastest about us.  Keep coming back for more information!

The Kings Speech

Last night Derek and I went to the Kaysville Theater and watched "The Kings Speech." it was surprisingly really good! We really enjoyed it. I thought it would be a little boring but it turned out to be humorous with a good strong story.

Here is a picture of Derek and I at the movie.


I just love spending time with my husband. Next Wednesday is his birthday and I can wait to spend it with him. Although we don't have a lot of money it is the time that counts. ;)
