More news to come.. and pictures of what we've been up to lately.. 

Easter

I haven't updated our blog in a long time so since I'm sitting home doing nothing right now I figured I would post some pictures and update everyone. It's finals week right now and Ben has one everyday this week. I'm sure he'll do good tho, cuz he's smart. He also started student teaching last week and absolutely loves it!!! If he gets picked he'll be an amazing seminary teacher. He finds out in a couple weeks if he's been selected to student teach next year. And nothing is new with me.. except I got a raise :) Yay! oh and these are the easter cards we sent to my mom, ben's mom and my best friend Angela :) Cricuts are amazing things.. :)

So I'm a little behind...

Okay. Here is the update on me:

 I have lived at the hospital lately. Okay thats a huge lie, but I did go to the doctor 3 times last week.. if you want all the details about why I hate my doctor I'll let ya know them :). So at first they thought I had PCOS.. but I don't. So then I thought I had something else... and I don't have that either.. So pretty much everything is normal which is FABULOUS!!! A new doctor fixed me in the 3 seconds.. and now I'm on some medicine that I take for a few days and then ta da!!! Fixed. I love it. Anyways.. Ben is insanely busy.. So I don't get to see my darling husband as much as I'd like to, but he's quitting one of his jobs.. I think his last day is Saturday so I'm happy :).. Last week my beautiful mother had surgery so we went up to see her and help her our for the weekend. She's been remodeling her bedroom/bathroom and I absolutely love it! I think it will be beautiful when its done, but my mom has amazing taste so It will be great. Its fun to go up and visit my family. I have 2 darling cousins who are 3 & 2 and they love Ben. Jaxson calls everyone Ashee though which makes me feel loved. My little brother was there and it was fun to see him. I never get to and he's such an amazing guy!!! I love him. And my Dad's funny.. and goofy.. but mostly funny. I love him too! Oh yeah! Mom's doing much better :).... on to a not as happy note.

Ben's mom is sick again. :( She was admitted into the hospital today. I think she's at Utah Valley, but i'm not 100% sure on that. I just need her to get better so that in the future when we have kids she can watch them!!! lol okay I need her to get better for other reasons too. She's so much fun. Its funny to watch how she acts with her kids.. I'm probably the only one that notices little things like that but I absolutely love it. Anyways.. Thats about it for us. Married life is wonderful.  I love it. 

Countdown Day

So 1 year ago today Ben proposed. :) He calls it Countdown Day because its.. March 21st ... 3...2...1! Its crazy thats its already been a year!! I've loved it though. Life is amazing!.. Oh and on thursday we went to the St. George Temple.. Here are some pictures of that!

Update on us!

So it has been awhile since I updated our blog. So since I'm home alone with nothing to do I decided I'd let you all know what we've been up to! School had kept Ben really busy. He's got some tough classes but he's smart so I know he'll do well. Work has been crazy lately, but its good to be busy. Time seems to be flying by so fast!!! Last week we had a bit of bad news, Ben's dad called him and said his mom was in the hospital so we made arrangements to get out of school and work to go up to see her that Friday and stay until Sunday.. BUT! Then on Friday right before we were getting ready to go Ben's dad called and said she had been released from the hostital and that he was going to pick her up! We were so excited!!! So instead of going to Salt Lake we went to Richfield to see her. It was fabulous. We were all lazy and ate delicious food and had fun playing games and watching movies.. I love going out of town because it gets me away from my job and it lets me see Ben for like 75 hours straight. Which I think is just the best thing ever!

This week! Ben started another job.. He know works to much. He has a paper route from 5:30 a.m. until about 7:30 or 8:00 in the morning ( I hate this job ) and then he goes to school and day and on Tuesday he started working at Chinatown. Its our favorite restraunt in Cedar. He gets 20% off whenever we decide to eat there so it should be great!! He seems to like it so far but tonight is his 2nd night there. Work is still busy for me, but I work a minimum of 45 hours per week so it will probably always seem busy. I had a doctors appointment today.. He gave me a guess of what he thinks is wrong, but I have to go get blood work done in a week or so and then another doctors appointment so I'll know the details then. As of right now I have no idea what the deal is. Well thats pretty much all thats going on with us. Until next time! :)

Our 1st Valentines day MARRIED!!!

  Yesterday was Valentine's Day. Usually I am anti-valentines day, but this year was different. I LOVED it. We both had to do work related stuff in the morning but then we had the whole day to do nothing. So we went to Hollywood Video and rented 3 movies and then came home and had lunch. After lunch I jumped in the shower and when I got out Ben had suprised me with a single rose. It was perfect then I looked by the bed and instead of flowers he got me this milkskake looking gift full of candy I love it! So instead of going out to dinner and doing the usual valentines day stuff we just chilled all day, watched movies, and ordered in a pizza.... It was perfect. My job has been really stressful and yesterday Ben just spoiled me all day. He's amazing. 

Smiths grocery store

So recently Ben has been delivering papers for his cousin Jason & every Sunday both the Salt Lake Tribune and the Deseret News have lots of coupons in them. (I'd recommend subscribing) anyways.. He brought a copy of both of the papers home with him Sunday. So before church I sat there and cut out all the coupons. Tonight we went grocery shopping and guess how much we saved!!!??????????!!!!!!???? If you guessed $50 dollars you were wrong.. we saved....................................................... $73.41.. Yeah how amazing is that! I know I'm a dork but we were both super super excited about it. I was so excited that I saw Amanda and Beau Gibbs there and I just had to stop and brag for a second. Anyways thats my exciting news for the week. :)
