I married my best friend two years ago and we are expecting our first little one in June. Riley is still pursuing his mechanical engineering degree and I'm working at a gym teaching fitness classes. We are so blessed and love all the insane things life has to bring.

Fitness

So I started a fitness blog.  Random, I know right? Well after a long journey at UVU in the Pre-PT progam I got sick of fighting for classes and needed a fast track to something for right now.  So I switched over to Provo College and am in their Personal Training progam.  I NEVER thought I'd be at a career college and especially thought I'd never say that I'm acually enjoying it there.  I graduate in December certified through NSCA as a Personal Trainer (assuming I pass the tests of course) which I WILL.  The progam is certainly not an online 6 week certification; it goes a lot more into depth and I'm very much looking forward to all that I will learn and apply.

I'v always loved health and fitness, it makes me feel good and I know it makes others feel good too.  Unfortunately some people just don't get of their butt to do it... actually about 66% of Americans don't.  Anyway my other blog is called Fit for YOUR Body (http://www.fitforyourbody.blogspot.com/).  Each day I hope to post either a motivational quote, healthy recipe, exercise routine, etc... Check it out I hope you enjoy.

Cutest Cupcakes Ever

Remember the cake blog I was telling you about?  Well the blogger (Trisha) was in town for a visit and she was nice enough to teach us how to do some super cute cupcakes.  Surprisingly they were fairly easy to do, I just wish I was creative enough to come up with the ideas.

Try to guess what they are ;-)

  • Popcorn
  • Apple
  • Spahetti and meatballs
  • Grass and Easter Eggs
  • Spring Flower (frosting only)
  • Another Flower (marshmallows)
  • and for my own amazing creativity..... a swirly design

Home Sweet Home

WE BOUGHT A HOUSE!!

        After a year of searching and many offers made we finally nailed one!  Not just any one, the PERFECT one. 
We really wanted to find a home for sale by owner and without a realtor.  We quickly found out that unfortunately this isn't really possible, so we got a realtor to show us some places.  We put in a few offers and didn't get any of them.... Frusterated we decided to take a break from house hunting, and thats when it happened.  We found a house on KSL that was in our price range, a location that we preferred and get this, it was for sale by owner! We jumped on it pretty quick took one look @ it, fell in love and made an offer with no realtors involved (no offense to any realtors out there) 
Riley of course is always looking for a good deal, and offered about 10 grand less than the asking price.  Thinking that we would probably not get it at that price, we were prepared to pay full asking price just to make sure we got it.  What do you know, two days later Riley called me @ school and told me we got the house, and for less than the asking price! 
I couldn't believe it. Literally. I made him pinky promise me that he wasn't kidding. 
The loan process began and one month later we were moved in.  We were actually moved in the same day we signed the papers... we were just a little excited. 
     The outside needs a little lovin' but the inside is immaculate and I can't wait to decorate those walls. 
I can't believe how blessed we are, we got more than we ever expected to get right now.



The backyard is so cute, and all ready for little ones to come along... someday.


 A treehouse! How cool is that?
