So today we celebrated my 2nd cousin's birthday at The Hogle Zoo it was a lot of fun, and while I was there I received a text message asking about John's Ford Crown Victoria- later we were able to sell it! YAY! We also put a deposit down for a Jeep Cherokee we have been looking at for maybe a little over a week? (I think)
Anyway while at the zoo Canon was having a day where you could rent one of their cameras and a lens and take pictures and such- so Beth and I decided we wanted to do just that and we were able to get some pretty good shots of the different zoo animals. I also took some nice pictures of Aynsley (my cute little niece- who was mentioned in a previous blog post) and of course Jaxson was a cute little bugger and was having fun while at the zoo.
Yep well now that we have sold the crown vic. we will be getting the Jeep and a Honda Civic hatchback (for John) I think we are both pretty excited about getting that car sold and getting an all wheel drive car! and all...
Well thats it for this one, I am just really excited about being able to get a Jeep and all haha.

crazy days
Well John and I listed his car on www.ksl.com and finally someone has contacted us saying they want to come look at it! We've had about 350 views and only 1 person has contacted us! Crazy I know!
While yesterday I received a letter from the police department stating that I have an item in their Evidence room or something, so it's been about 2 years since I have seen this phone (the item that has been in their custody) and I kind of miss using it- but I am very glad that I have an iPhone. (so I listed my old Samsung Sway on www.ksl.com)
So yesterday after looking at a Honda Accord and the Jeep at Wallace Auto- John and I came back to the house and he was looking up more cars- in the end he found a near perfect Jeep, but it sold... that same day it was listed it was rather disappointing. But I am sure that there will be more out there.
Thats about it. We'll keep you posted on the car hunt! And everything else that goes about!
Love,

slowly moving forward
Well we have yet to find the close to perfect car...
Apparently T-Mobile has been a little butt and decided to charge us even more for picture messaging...so John is a bit upset about that seeing he can send but not receive pictures- when before he could (for free)
I made TWO skirts within a day. The first one turned out to be ok, but the second one oh man I love it! (they both fit perfectly which is always a plus seeing I have never been able to get my handmade articles of clothing to fit) The first one has a black and white almost kind of a checkered pattern to it while the other is all black (with both black and purple thread) I don't know maybe I am crazy but I ♥ em!
Both John and Holly are good, I on the other hand keep getting hurt in one way or another....I think I have hit my "funny bone" at least 3 times today...yeah definitely not a fun one...but hey it could be worse I s'pose.
Well thats about it for now.

disappearing cars...+ a baby niece
We're still searching for a car and they all seem to be disappearing before our eyes. It's getting rather frustrating. Oh well we'll find one sooner or later.
But I guess the good news about everything is that Kristin's sister, Lisa, had her baby girl on Labor Day (Sept 5th) She is really cute- they decided to name her Ainsley Marie.
We're doing well and not giving up on finding a car. Things have been good well better since our last fight on Saturday.
We'll see what goes about and keep you updated.

The first week of September!
Well it has almost been a year since we got engaged. Pretty exciting I think. Well here's how we spent our first week of September together.
We organized our living space and sent some storage over to my parent's neighbor's, Sophie's, house and that took at least an hour just to get around 8-12 big tubs of random stuff over to her house and into her basement. But it was worth it, now we have a VERY open living area :)
We have been cleaning, and cleaning, and cleaning. But once again its worth it since its making our living space a much more welcome area for us both.
John surprised me by bringing home a bouquet of roses <3 as well as a few days later he brought an almost new Macbook from his old job home (he paid $400 for it so basically it was a steal-in my opinion)
We went to Springville, UT to get his Harley Davidson Motorcycle and brought it up to Sandy- Where my brother in law and possibly soon to be brother in law and my dad were admiring it, oh and my oldest sister as well. I think he is very glad to have ridden it all the way back since he hasn't since the move out of the apartment in Provo, UT.
I have a job interview at 11:30 this morning at Jamba Juice woohoo; lets hope I get the job!
Yeah thats basically it. Besides having the occasional fight here and there. Things have been pretty good. We are planning on getting me a dress pattern so I can have something to wear to church for once haha- besides my white skirt that we bought maybe about a year ago?
Oh yes we saw my "joints" doctor. John was not thrilled at all seeing he (the doctor) just upped and left his patients hanging for a while and finally decided to show his face to work....(basically I was waiting for my 9:15 appointment for over 45 minutes to be seen- already had my x-rays done and was waiting nicely to be seen.) and that really ticked John off and if I hadn't already had my x-rays we would have upped and left because that was definitely not ok for the doctor to almost stand us up like that. But in the end we found out I have "loose joints" aka my shoulders and my knees are both loose apparently...which is obviously not a good thing.
Holly is good just being a fiesty little butt and loves to bark at children which you would think she wouldn't but who knows; my nephew Jaxson was over yesterday since it was Curry Sunday and we had just about everyone over- except for my cousin and her family- they are in Nevada- anyway Jaxson looooooooooooves to play with Holly it's SUPER cute with his facial expressions and such. And I just remembered that Holly will be a year old next month!!! Crazy!!! Ah how I love my cute little family.
Well thats it for now, We'll keep you updated on the happenings of our lives :)
