Talia 10 months:

Tax Return!

Our tax return came!  We are now so happy to have a new laptop (ours has been broken for 3 months) and a new washer (ours broke 2 months ago).  I've been going to neighbors houses each week to use their washer for the day.  So nice of them to help me out, but it'll be SO nice to have one of my own again.  The rest of the $ will go to tuition for this year.
Date night to remember: We also had a FANTASTIC date night!  McCord took me to TUCANOS at the Gateway in downtown Salt Lake City after going to the temple.  I've never been and he was so excited to take me there.  The experience I had was amazing.  This may be our new favorite restaurant.  The temple was amazing as well, simply beautiful and spiritual.  One of the best date nights ever!

We're going to The Con!

WE'RE GOING TO THE CON!
We miraculously got ComicCon tickets this year!  It only took a team of 4 people and 6 computers to get us all tickets.  They sold out within 45 mins.  It's about 100,000 people attend each day over the 4 day time frame.  to sell out 400,000 tickets in 45 mins is pretty amazing.  We are so lucky!  It's our summer vacation!!

Talia 9 months

Time continues to fly as Talia gets bigger and bigger.  Here are some pictures of her @ 9 months old.
Weight: 18 lbs. 2 oz.
Pictures taken: February 13, 2012

This is to show you she stands up on things ALL the time.

Rarrr!  She wasn't mad or anything.  She was saying "Ah Ah Ah". It just turned out funny.

 

 

 

My favorite picture.  Too bad it's blurry.

She's such a little active one.  A sweetheart.

Wrapper.  Best toy EVER.

Talia @ the InstaCare

Talia was pretty good waiting 2 1/2 hrs to see the doctor when we went to the InstaCare this last sunday night.  She was diagnosed with ear infections in both ears. I took pictures since we were waiting so long.  She's such a sweetheart.

PROMOTION!! U of U Assistant Supervisor

I had an interview today for a promotion in the Office of Admissions at the U of U.  I've been in the office for 3 1/2 years and was so excited to get an interview for an assistant supervisor.  They called me in for the interview and stopped going down the list of questions after the first question.  The supervisor and Director stopped the questioning and flat out said that they wanted to offer me the job right then and there.  They offered me the position and a raise.  I accepted gratefully!  Woo!  I begin my new position on Monday - in 2 days!  Awesome!  I'm super excited!

New car, Talia update, Groundhog's Day

McCord, my awesome grease monkey, gets acknowledged in this post.  HE'S AMAZING.  He's made over 6 different repairs on BOTH of our cars over the last 3 months.  He's fixed batteries in both cars, flat tires, starter, clutch (3 times), lights, heater, and accesories.  He's fantastic.
