I had a whole week off of school for Thanksgiving and it was so wonderful. I was able to spend a lot of time with my family. Even Brenda came down from Boise. It was awesome. My family is so great. The older I get, the more I cherish them. Also we went over to my mom's house for Thanksgiving dinner. She did such an awesome job. I am so thankful for a wonderful mother who is so giving to us and others. So, in a nutshell, I was lazy, did hardly any homework, spent time with my family, and went shopping on black friday. My black friday experience this year was something else. I went with my sister Wendy at four in the morning. Crazy I know. Anyway, the first few stores we went to I had luck in getting what I wanted. Then I went to Walmart at seven and they were out of everything that I wanted to get. I was soooo sad. Andrew didn't get to go with me this year, because he went elk hunting with my dad. No luck there either. All in all though we had a great break and I can't wait to be done with school for the semester. Only two more weeks!!!!
For Halloween we went to my friend Christine's house for a Halloween party. It was a lot of fun and she did such a great job with all the creative foods. Everyone's costumes were great and in case you can't tell what I am....I am a cave woman. Like the unibrow?
I know I have been bad about posting pictures lately, but we just got our computer fixed and things have been crazy. I just got back from Boise last weekend doing a research presentation for dental hygiene. It was a great experience. This week is midterms, so I am stressed. If anyone knows anybody who hasn't had a cleaning in many years and has lots of calculus on their teeth, please send them my way. I need those harder patients so badly. I truly appreciate it. Anyway, my younger sister had her baby too. He is so cute. Pictures to come...
Strap in and hold on cause this is officially Andrew's second blog...it's going to be a bumpy ride!!!haha...(don't really know what that means?) So once again I went to the Mr.Olympia competition in Las Vegas and my bodybuilding ICON managed to make history again!! (Jay Cutler) The first time he made history was when he grabbed his first Olympia win by beating the 8-time Mr.Olympia Ronnie Coleman. This year he made history by being the first Mr.Olympia to regain the Mr.Olympia title after losing it, last year he lost to Dexter Jackson. This year was really special for me because I actually got to attend the Mr.Olympia finals and watch history take place LIVE!!! I met up with a couple friends and one of my good friends and lifting buddies came with me to the Olympia.
I LOVE taking people to the Olympia for their first time!! The look on their faces when they see professional bodybuilders in person is hilarious...It's usually followed by "HOLY CRAP" or "OH... MY...GOSH"...you catch the drift. I'm still waiting for my buddy "J" to come with me...you know who you are!
I love going to the expo that they have on Fri. and Sat. Anyone who has gone can tell ya about how many free supplements and shirts they give out!! It's unreal. Well here are some pics of some of the pro's I met: (enjoy...cause I did)
Andrew and I have been married since August 2007 and I can't believe how fast time has gone by. We have been richly rewarded with so many blessings. We are so thankful to be members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. I am finally done with school now and we are both working. I am now a dental hygienist. YAY! I love my husband with all my heart and am so glad to have a husband who is also my best friend!
