Christmas gifts

This year I decided to make something for my mom and sister for Christmas. Since I got a sewing machine earlier on the year as a gift from Brett, I made some aprons. This was the first time I made something, so I was a little worried about the results. Just in case my mom and sister didn't like them, I sent them some other stuff with the aprons. They actually turned out really cute, and my mom and sister love them. So this how I started
I didn't take many pics in the middle of the process, so here it is done!
And when I was all done, I stuffed some smaller presents in the pockets and folded the aprons as presents.

Good News

No, we are not pregnant yet. The good news is that Brett got a new job doing what he is going to school for. There is a lot to learn for him, but it is exciting and fun. I am so proud and excited for Brett. This is a great opportunity to develop in his major.
On a very different note, we got another dog. Her name is Lily and she is a cute little Maltese, just like Sammy. After a couple of days of awkwardness, they are now best buddies. We don't have any super cute pictures of her because we had to shave all her hair.

End of summer

The summer is almost over. It has been a pretty difficult summer since Brett spent it in Mississippi and I stayed in Utah. I visited Brett for a weekend and he spent a week in Utah for his birthday and our anniversary. Oh yeah, we have been married for 3 fabulous years now! The sad part is that Brett just got here and I am going to Chicago for 3 weeks on Monday. I am going to spend 3 weeks at Sears corporate, which is a great opportunity for learning and making useful contacts.
That's it for our latest news!

A lot has happened since January! I went to Peru to spend some time with my family for about a month; sadly Brett had to stay here and go to school. When I came back, I got a new job. I have been working there for a month and I like it so far. Since my new job is in Murray, we moved, again! So now we live 5 min from work. We love our new place. The only bad thing about it is that it is far from Brett's mom! We like to spend Sunday nights there to visit and play games.
About a month ago, I got a new car! Yay! We got me a brand new RAV4. I have wanted this car since I was old enough to drive!
My mom came to visit and spent 2 weeks with us. She came specially for graduation ceremony. Last Friday we all headed down to BYU for graduation! It was fun and made me feel accomplished. I was so glad to have so many family members there supporting and cheering me! After graduation Brett, Shellee, my mom, and I drove to Denver. My mom and I stayed there visiting family and flew back to Utah on Sunday night. Sadly, Brett and Shellee left from there to Mississippi, where they will be working all summer! Today I took my mom to the airport, she is on her way back to Peru. Now it is just Sammy and me!


This is my friend Cindy! I am so sad that she is moving to Kansas! I will miss you Cindy!After graduation we had dinner and ice cream cake! Thank you to all my family for being there!

Quick Update

It has been a while since we posted something, but we are still here. I graduated from BYU last December and Brett will be back to school the 18th of this month! I will be taking a little vacation visiting my family in Peru this coming week!
For the past weeks we, and by "we" I mean mostly Brett, have been working on a hutch for our dinning room. We bought an old and kind of ugly looking hutch for $30 and refinished it. Sadly, Brett forgot to take pictures before starting to work on it, so we don't have before pictures. It was an ugly brown with a lot of honey and gold tones that we didn't like, so we made it black (for some reason, it looks brown in the pics, but it is really black).
