We headed to Alamo to go to Lance's Grandpa's 87th Birthday party! It was alot of fun.. these are some pictures of our adorable nieces and nephews that I took!

happy st. pattys day!

My new favorite treat... Cake pops. Makes any St. Patricks day better!

Scratch that.. Arizona, Here we come!

Well, for those of you who don't know, we aren't going to Oregon anymore, were going to Arizona! It is a long story, but basically what happened is Arizona put us on their wait list,and Oregon accepted us. So, we had to go with Oregon because we didn't know if Arizona would ever work out! Well, just as I was starting to feel really good and excited about Oregon Arizona called and accepted us! They gave us one week to decide, and let me tell you.. It was a ROUGH week!!! We decided to start back at square one and take this as a whole new decision between the two. After a stressful roller coaster ride, we decided to go with our initial feeling of Arizona. All I can say is I am SOO thankful for a solid husband who doesnt let his emotions get him too carried away:). I wasn't much help and was so confused about the whole mess! Thank goodness for Lance!

Anyways, we will be attending Midwestern University in Glendale Arizona!!! We are so excited, and have already found a place to live and plan to move there in August! We are looking forward to getting out of the snow, but know that we will soon be missing the cold weather!!

We are also very excited, especially Lance, for all of the sports teams that we will be so close to.. And hopefully we won't be too poor to go to a few games! We are excited for this new adventure!

Cakes!!

Alright, so I took some cake classes a while back, and I have been making some cakes for different people... It's always been a dream of mine to decorate cakes, so I decided to finally do it! Unfortunately I broke my camera a while back, so the pictures of the cakes aren't the best, and I haven't been able to take pictures of all the one's I have done.. Oh well, it's just a little sneak peak I guess. I'm kind of embarrassed about it, but oh well, why not!?! Just click on the little "Anne- Made" button on the side and check it out if ya want!

Here we come OREGON!!

Well, Here we come Oregon!! We finally decided on Pacific University in Forest Grove Oregon! Lance is going to go to Optometry school! We will leave this coming Aug! The school takes 4 years to complete, then I have no idea where we will end up! This is quite the adventure for us both, (especially me) and we are really, excited, nervous, anxious, happy, scared, thrilled, but most of all excited for this little adventure. It's kind of crazy imagining myself living there when I haven't even been to the state of Oregon!! I hear it's gorgeous up there though!!

Lance will be a Boxer!!The school mascot is a Boxer.. What is a Boxer you might ask?? Well, some sort of made up, mythical Chinese creature that is supposed to be very fierce.. Interesting....

Forest Grove: A city of 20,000 located 24 miles west of Portland, Oregon, a vibrant metropolitan area with a population of 2 million. Surrounded by the rich and productive farmlands of the Tualatin Valley, Forest Grove offers urban amenities in a striking rural setting.

Im kind of excited that we will be living in a small town, but only 30 minutes from Portland and close to the beach as well! I am so proud of Lance.. It is a hard thing to get into Optometry school and he got accepted into a great one!! I don't know how I got such a smart husband!! Quite an adventure we have in front of us!!

Most of all, I'm excited because our awesome friends TJ and Heather Peterson live up there as well! TJ is going to pharmacy school up there at the same school! Built in friends already!

Mrs. Teller

Well, I have officially joined the workforce and am finally contributing to society!! I have just recently started a job working as a teller at State Bank Of Southern Utah! (And no, my Dad had nothing to do with me getting the job!!) I work at the south main office full time and I am liking it so far. There is ALOT of things to learn and to get used to, but things are finally starting to click and I am feeling alot more comfortable with things. I get to work at the drive through window, and I really like it because you get to send things to people through tubes... ahhaha.. I work with some really fun people so that always helps too.. I have been trained on what to do if i get robbed, how to identify counterfit checks/money, and many other scary things.. It is so crazy.. I handle and touch so much money everyday.. I always think, "This money could change my life, and all it is is paper with numbers on it!" ANYWAYS, overall its great EXCEPT for the fact that Lance and his family went on a really fun river raft vacation and I couldn't go because I had to work!!! :( So, that has definately been a downer.. Hopefully I can go next time..

Back Blogging!

Alright.. I am a real bad blogger! But I love to get on and read everyone else's posts! Here is what we have been up to the past few months..

I also graduated from SUU in May with a Bachelors in Nutrition! But, the only problem now is actually finding a decent job!! There is honestly 30 jobs available in Cedar City right now, and 15 of them are sheep hearding jobs! I mean, I'm getting a bit desperate.. so I might have to take the sheep hearding on! So if anyone has any job connections.. PLEASE! Let me know!!

Lance helped coach the Freshmen baseball team this year. He absolutely loved it! All of the kids referred to him as the, "Nice Coach". Pretty nice shot I got of him right? Very intense coaching going on there!

After Graduation we had about a 2 week break until Lance started up his summer Organic Chemistry class that now controls both of our lives!!! :) We decided to go visit my brother Nathan and his family in Fresno California. We stayed there for about a week.. It was so fun seeing our nieces and nephew! They are so cute! We got to go to Yosemite National Park and see the giant redwoods and the tallest waterfall in the U.S.! It was a blast!

After Fresno we went straight to Sweet Home ALAMO!! It was alot of fun. Almost all of Lances family was there to celebrate Ed and Kris's birthdays! We had a suprise birthday party for them in their backyard and cooked hobo dinners. Lance was so cute, he spent so much time trying to find the perfect tree for his dad. He finally found a Sycamore tree. Ed planted it in their yard so they can watch it grow together.. Alamo is so much fun.. I love that Lance grew up working on a farm.. He is such a hard worker! I can't wait till we have kids and they can experience all of the animals! Ed always has some new sort of animal on the farm. This time it was baby sheep! It was so much fun to feed them everyday.. I have to admit I think I liked it more than the kids...We also went to their cabin up at Cherry "CRICK." It is their family's favorite place to go. It really was alot of fun.. It was really pretty up there!
