I suck at blogging. Catch up post!

Here is the end of 2011 and the beginning of a new year:)

BYU game with the in-laws.

We had a blast and we even snuck down to the third row!

We were on the jumbotron 3 times!

My sister was actually at the same game and found out we were there cause she saw Chance 

on the big screen rippin his coat of to show his BYU shirt underneath! haha hilarious!

And I got to see my cousin Cody:) 

The on thanksgiving weekend we went tree hunting and got into the Christmas

spirit oh and we also became obsessed with hot chocolate with candy canes:)

Then we had the best work party ever! (oh and I'm his only employee) haha

It was so fun, the Hugh fam and Chance and I went to dinner at La Fiesta mmm!

Then we went out to the roller rink! ya that's right, we skated are a's off:)

oh and we skated some more up north with Chance's fam! We did on Christmas Eve and on

Ian's Birthday. Sad news by the way, I didn't take ONE picture of our first Christmas:(

It was beautiful though! Different because it was with Chance's fam, but it was a blast!

Here's the New Years group!

We took things up a notch, got all classed up and went to NINJA for dinner.

Then we played cards, lit fireworks, made out and played more cards:)

ya I said made out, it's new years peeps.

Success.

We finished off the year with a bang!

Happy 2012 everyone:)

my CHRISTMAS bonus.

Today I went on a shopping spree! 

I know sounds crazy especially with Christmas coming up....

let's just say I'm the most spoiled girl in the world when it comes to my job:)

 I was hired to be a receptionist/photo editor for Karl Hugh at Studio West Photography and needless to say I got way more than a job out of it! 

I have a whole second family that loves and cares for me so much, the Hugh's! 

They have taken me under their wing and helped me through a lot. I honestly can't describe how grateful I am for them and how lucky I am to work for Karl.

Oh, and to be apart of their lives! 

hello! they took me, my best friend and my boyfriend (hubby) to MEXICO last year.

ya you heard me the land down south! 

honestly I don't know why they like me so much. 

all I'm going to say though is I am so grateful they do.

okay okay back to the shopping spree.

well my Christmas bonus this year was... 

(yes! I get a bonus at Christmas, sounds like a big girl job to me!)

A SHOPPING TRIP ON THE STUDIOS DOLLAR.

every girl's dream, shopping without the guilt.

well I had a blast, got some cute stuff and had so much help from

 Christy and Brielle (my new shopping buddies)

They introduced me to a new store which I can tell is going 

to be my new addiction....

then we went to....

pretty sure I haven't shopped there since I was 13.

Surprisingly they had great stuff and I got a pair of boots for 

$12.99 not. even. freaking. kidding. you!

ah bliss. 

Thank you Studio West and the Hugh family:)

you have done so much for me, I can't even begin to repay you.

oh but I will try, you wait and see.

well here are a few things I got. 

great finds. great company.

$12.99 boots. that is a deal my friend.

my winter skirt.

$3 find. couldn't pass it up.

stripes.

when I picked this shirt up Christy said....

"you aren't going to Africa!" 

my motto: if Christy doesn't like it, I LOVE it.

my skirt that Karl says look's like a rug at a

grandma's house:)

and my cargo floods.

well happy christmas all, hopefully you find time to shop

for yourself a little:) I sure did.

man I'm selfish.

more Christmas!

Christmas without kids would be lame. So glad we have this little one in our lives. 

He is a blessing in so many ways and I can't even describe how lucky we are to have found him! 

So grateful for adoption, his birth parents and his mommy and daddy.

Here is Raife and his sisters, Liberty and Roxy (the pups). 

Merry Christmas all!
