Date night

I had planned a date night for Ryan and I a few weeks ago and got tickets to see the
Salt Lake Choir and brass band perform. Even though we are both under the weather
we still wanted to go. We arrived early to Temple Square so we went to the Church Museum
across the street to see the rug his grandparents had made and given the church.

The rug is beautiful, I'm speechless every time I see it. I can't imagine all of the time and
work they put in to making this one of a kind rug. His Armenian heritage
is quite the story that I look forward to sharing with our children one day.

As much as I wanted to walk around and see the lights Ryan only let us stay out long
enough to have a picture taken since we are both sick. Looks like another date night
down town will have to be scheduled soon!

GNO

My Friend Sara and I had a fun girls night out, dinner at The Old Spaghetti Factory
and fashion show at Trolley Square. Some of the dresses were
adorable and I would totally wear.
Don't mind my 'emo' style hair, I was trying to cover my poor infected eye..

I have been awful taking pictures lately so I don't have a single one of Ryan's and my first Thanksgiving together. It was a great day and relaxing. We had dinner with my parents than headed over to Ryan's grandmas home to visit.

This year I am grateful

*an amazing husband who loves me even when I steal the covers at night and take over the bed to find 'the cold spot'

*for wonderful parents who love and support us. and for letting us live with them for free temporarily.

*my amazing sisters and their families I adore my nephews and nieces.

* Ryan's family who from the beginning let me into their home and lives with open arms.

* The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter day Saints, I am so blessed to have been born and raised in the church having wonderful leaders teach me, an amazing Prophet who I dearly love and look up to.

* For a job and the clients that come in with great stories to share, especially those that are good tippers ;)

* my amazing friends who love me including my faults and imperfections, knowing I can count on them for anything and everything.

* having good health, it breaks my heart and humbles me to be thankful when I read blogs or hear of those going through horrible illnesses.

* Those who are so open to share their experiences on their blogs so that we may all learn and be grateful for what we have in our lives and remember what is truly most important.

* finally joining the marriage club! I love being married, I highly recommend it

In my next life....

I got this e-mail and thought it was hilarious and had to share
(click on it to enlarge it)





Oh it is so good to be back home with family and friends! I am fortunate enough to have found a job so quickly and only 15-20 minutes away from my parents where we are staying till we find a place. Now we are just hoping Ryan can find a good job quickly and settle into our own home before school starts the beginning of next year.

Yay for my friends birthday! Ryan had to make a trip out to Colorado for
work and wasn't able to make it but I managed to still have fun ;)


The birthday princess herself! tiara and all


















I have known these girls for 15-20 years! We ate and chatted it up
at Cafe Rio till 11 pm
