Update!

Alright, i know that i have not blogged in forever! This is super lame so i am going to attempt to update everyone on what has been going on. Soon after coming home from my California vacation I lost my job at APX. This was a tragedy because as i am sure some of you know that it is literally impossible to find a job with the economy the way that it is right now. I was so upset Derek took me to Wal Mart and bought me two goldfish. One girl named Ava and a boy named Colbert. I just love them so much. We got a bowl with pink rocks and a pink tropical flower that goes on the bottom. I just love my fishies. The job hunt began and i was rather successful to begin with. I was hired at two different jobs withing losing my other. One was a company called Doterra which is an essential oils company. He told me he would call me within a week and tell me when i start. The other was at 1 800 contacts. I never heard back from the man at Doterra so i took the job at 1 800 Contacts. I made it through my first week of training which after i had to take a test to see if i kept the job. You had to get an 89 or better to pass, well i didn't pass. So after feeling pretty Darn good about myself, i was shot down pretty quickly. It was quite embarrassing to be honest. Luckily Derek's dad needed a receptionist so that's where i am working now. It's only part time but with my rent being as cheap as it is in the summer it's not too bad.


Two weeks ago i got to go home and do my sisters hair for senior ball! She looked so beautiful and i was really happy with how everything turned out. I think her and Tom had a really good time. I wished that Derek could have come home with me but i guess sometimes its okay to miss each other.

Derek and I celebrated our one year anniversary this last week. I can not believe that we have been together for so long! I feel like time has flown by. To celebrate Derek bought me a hamster! It certainly isn't an engagement ring which i what i was hoping for but she is still darling. Her name is Isabelle. She is a teddy bear hamster. Her cage looks like a McDonald's play place and she is absolutely nuts. She has never bit anybody and she is very active. I just love her. She is getting bigger every day which makes me sad but she is still cute.

The picture is not the greatest but taking a picture of a hamster is hard.



I told Derek that all i wanted for my anniversary was for him to plan the evening. He said he could do that. I was really looking forward to what he would come up with, considering the fact that i plan most things. The night before our anniversary i asked Derek if he knew what we were going to do for it. He very confidently said "yes!"a little shocked i replied "really?" "Yup babes, and the best part is, it doesn't cost any money!" he replied with a giant smile.

I was less then thrilled with this news. I was expecting dinner in Salt lake or something romantic. I was getting kind of nervous about what would be going on the next day.

The next day i went to work and Derek text me in the middle of the day telling me that his plans had fallen through and was wondering if i had any ideas.... Now considering the fact that all i wanted was for him to plan something....i was not too happy. As the day progressed i was hoping that he had had a genius idea. Well i sat at home waiting for him to get off work. I thought he told me that he was off at 8 so when 8:45 rolled around and i had heard nothing....i was even more upset. He finally calls, turns out he wasn't off until 8:30. He came over and told me that we were going to PF changs for dinner and that the next night he would take me to salt lake to the Planetarium. It made things a lot better that he actually came up with a plan. I still cried cause i am a baby and i like things to be a certain way but it turned out really nice. I love him.
