Much Needed Update

where to begin well back in april i had the chance to go with my mom and sisters to WICKED. I loved it so much. It was so funny and i wasn't expecting it to be. It was a great night out with just the girls we went out to eat at olive garden before the show. yum

It was alot of fun thanks mom.

What a Stud!!

My husband is such a stud, one of the things i love about him is that he excells in the things that he does. John pole vaults for usu, and even though he is not doing as well as he wants to i think he's amazing and apparently so do alot of other people. Tonight we went to the USTAR awards where he won the award for the 2009 Male Athlete Walk-On for the year. I was very proud of him. USTAR award

John also took 3rd in the WAC indoor champs for pole vaulting

LOVE YOU JOHN

Love day 2009

Oh valentines day, this is just not my holiday. I've never ever spent valentines day with anyone but my family. Don't get me wrong it was still fun my mom would always give us way to much chocolate stuff and we would have movie nights or whatever but that was how i always spent my valentines day, and i didn't mind it. Well once again I didn't have anyone to spend love day with because john was in colorado with the track team for a meet. Thats right ladies and gentlemen my husband and i were apart for our first valentines together. So i spent it with some very good looking people ( not as good looking as john, but still good lookink) let me show you.

The fabulous Lyndsi Jo Frandsen

The Quirky Katie Lou Nelson

And The Rebellious Toree Lyn McFarland ( and actually didn't have a picture of her but you can see her in the group picture)

we went out to lunch at chilis and just had a grand time talking about anything and everything i love these girls, they are my bestest friends.

For the remainder of the day i went to johns parents house and just hung out with them and Joanna, we ended up chopping my hair off and watching sweet home alabama so it was a good day in the end i just wish i could have sped it with my hubby, but don't worry we were reunited.

Our First Christmas

Well this was mine and Johns First Christmas together and it was so much fun. Christmas eve we went to the Johnsons, we had a delisious dinner and watched all the little kids ( and Joseph, John, and Jarom) act out the nativity. After that all the little kids opened their presents from one another, and then the adults played a white elephant gift game. I got a loaf of Honey Wheat bread (YUM!!!) and John got Hannah Montanna hair glitter. From there we went to my parents house and played nerts (a card game that we are all addicted to) until really late. The next morning we got up and opened all of our presents. My sisiter her husband and 2 boys came over that night for a very Yummy Christmas dinner. All in All it was a fun filled Christmas.

Thanksgiving

Yum Yum is all i have to say. This was mine and johns first thanksgiving together, we went to provo to be with my moms side of the family, i love eating with them because we have 2 turkeys one smoked and one regular. Smoke turkey is sooo good, there was so much food its like an all you can eat buffet. Then we partied the night a way playing games. Then friday night it was the anual Johnson party. Every year instead of having thanksgiving dinner the johnson get together for a weekend party, i had been looking forward to this party since john and i were engaged. i ended up with a cold just a couple days before thanksgiving and was taking all the drugs i could so that i would be able to party away. My cold finally went away the day before thaksgiving, but with my luck friday night i ended up with a nasty flu, so i missed the party anyways. i was so mad that i started crying (and because i was sick). So hopefully next year will be better.
