Here you go Heidi :) I have a new goal to update this on Sunday afternoons. So much has happened since I have last updated this!!
We were recently in Lake Powell June 28th-July 5th. It was awesome as usual. Water was pretty warm, weather was great, really only had 2 small storms rather then the usual daily. Mike got to learn so much. He learned how to drive the houseboat, the boat, pull a skier, he got a up on my double boot competitive ski and so much more. We hiked, wave runner, swam, ate, read a lot of books, slept and played games. The kids were awesome. Jordan (3 yrs old) tried water skiing. Megan 8, Halie 7, and Issac 4, we couldn't stop from jumping off the top of the house boat, which is about 20 feet, or from water skiing. Bella 1 yr and Sam 18 mths didn't want to stay out of the boat or wave runners. We tie-died tee shirts and made a huge fire for smores, and watched the neighbors shoot off fireworks. My dad was a little crazy and ended up gettting a ticket, oops, but lucked out and only got it for 1 situation rather then the 4 it could've been. We got to sit at the end of the dock on the 4th of July and watch the fireworks shooting off from Page, Arizona
July 11th, we got to go to Mapleton and spend the day with some good friends before they leave for Podiatry school. We took his CJ out and went 4 wheeling up Spanish for canyon and went to a small reservoir, walked around the lake, had lunch, shot some guns, pushed a tree over and just played around and talked for a while. We went back, went hot tubing, ordered a pizza and watched 310 to Yuma (clean version). It was a great day, which unfortunately had to end. We will miss them but wish them the best.
For the 24th, we went swimming with the family and then met some friends for some fireworks at Liberty park. We had the best spot, we got to see them shoot off fireworks as well as watch them go off. Saturday we helped our home teacher move and then went out to Antelope Island and were going to go for a 10 mile mountain bike ride. It didn't exactly happen that way. We had a 74 year old guy,named John, join up with us at about mile 3 and things went down from there. The road was really sandy in some areas and so we had to walk parts. John then got a flat in his tire, we couldn't find the whole so just re in flatted it up, just in case he was running low to start. We he wasn't. We couldn't find the whole to even patch it, and he didn't have a spare and we didn't have one. So we road/slashed walked the next 7 miles. About mile 6 mike grabbed his keys and followed his directions to get his car and meet us where the trail ended and the service road began. Well he had know idea which way anything was. Mike road an extra 5-10 miles, still couldn't find his car, but some really nice people drove him around trying to find it, but never could. He was still looking for it, when we got to the trail head and called him. They came and picked us up and finally found John's car. We then got a ride to our car and left. What was supposed to be about 1 1/2 turned into 4 hours. I only put some sunscreen on and didn't take any with us, needless to say, my arms and shoulders and quite burnt. I have been so careful not to get burnt, I even got a TAN in :ake Powell, yes I am serious, I had tan lines, real tan lines, not even one burn line.
We have done lots of other fun things too. Picnics up the canyon, bees games, motorcycle rides and a few other things. We are trying to have more fun lately rather then allowing managing the apartments taking over our lives which it has been the last while. We weren't having enough fun and starting to resent it. Hopefully with our new plan, we can keep managing and still do the things we want. We are young and newly married and don't have kids yet. We should be out having fun, going away for the weekends whenever we want rather then just working here. Wish us luck. See you next Sunday!!! Hope you have a good week.

Update
So I am lying her thinking how much I have not wanted to update this. I can't even begin to tell you how happy I am that March is over, yes I know it's Easter and its half way through April. March was probably one of the worst and best months ever.
Our car got broken into and after all was said and done, they got away with about $1500 in cash. We only had a $200 deductible on cash and gift cards are considered cash. So that totally sucks, but we are counting our blessings since it could have been so much worse.
Drama, drama, drama. That is what work has been. One of our PA's is no longer there and girls are hard to work with. I now know why I had all guy Friends growing up, I had all sisters and enough drama. A few other really sucky things happened, but I am not dwelling on them any more.
Here is the amazingness of our last month. One friday afternoon, I walk out of work and my amazing husband Mike is standing by the car and says that the bags our packed and he is taking me to Lava Hot Springs for the weekend. Most of it was bliss, but the last 12 hours not so much.
The next weekend my boss couldn't use some ski tickets so we got to go skiing at Deer Valley Resort for FREE, that was hilarious, because neither Mike nor I had been skiing in 10 years. I didn't have a hard time remembering anything, but he was hilarious all day. I have never seen him so nervous or feel so vulnerable. Slightly adorable, and lots of laughs and falls(him, I didn't fall once).
The next weekend we were given a pass that expired on April 4th for a free night at the U of U Marriott resort. So we went up, went hot tubing, slept in, had an amazingly huge free super yummy FREE buffet breakfast, enjoyed the first session of conference.
This weekend, I had Friday off, YEAH and amazing. However of course Mike had a school thing that morning, he usually doesn't have class, so i stayed in bed till 8:30 got up worked on the apartments, and then we went shooting with some friends that afternoon. I did a lousy job, but it was fun anyways.
Sorry no pictures we suck at remembering our camera, so we bought a disposable in Lava and just finished using it up and its at Costco getting developed, what a weird thing. Don't know the last time I had to have something developed. So much st res the last month in a half with so many different things going on in so many parts of my life, but I have been blessed with things as well to help me relax at least one day a week and have some fun and get away from it all, unfortunately you have to come back to reality. Life so good and hard and make you unhappy at times with all that goes on, so wish I knew how to turn off my brain at times or at least slow it down. Sleep through the night would be nice. Luckily, somehow the good Lord decided to bless me with an amazing husband to help relax me, keep me calm and help me through it all.
PS. Easter was great. We had Mikes Mom over for dinner and then went and played catch till it got dark. Good Day. Hope you all enjoyed your amazing day.

Turned Upside down- Be careful!!!!!!!!!!!
OK. So Friday morning life got a little turned upside down to says the least. I got to the gym at 5:40 am, went in changed realized I left my Ipod in my purse so ran back out and got it. Went in worked out, got ready for work and headed back out to my car. When I got there my passenger was broken out and my purse which was tucked under my seat was gone. They spent over $1400.00 in less then an hour, plus the cash that was my in my purse that was left from our wedding, I'd pulled it out of our safe the evening before so I could go by a Bosch. They also got all my gift cards, were talking about a lot of money in gift cards, some from our wedding, some from birthdays, Christmas and other stuff. They even went to the bank and pulled money out.
We spent the weekend closing all our accounts, putting up fraud alerts on everything, talking to the police and tracking them down. We almost caught them on Saturday when they tried to pull more out. But they got away before the police could get there.
This has been such a headache and nightmare. I am so exhausted with dealing with all of it. It seems to never end. We should get all our money back, but it just takes time. Plus getting all new cards and accounts and so forth. Please don't leave anything in your car, cause you never know whats going to happen or what time of day.

The best husband and updates
So I know those two statements don't go together and Ok so I know I say this a lot and I don't really blog about anything else, but it is the truth is I really don't know how I got so lucky with whom I married. He is constantly blowing me away.
He is gone till Friday in Las Vegas at the American Physical Therapy Association conference which is going to be a really good experience for him. Unfortunately he has horrible weather on the way down and was in the amazing snow storms we had today. UGLY, but he made it safe and sound. Anyways I get home today after work and running errands and walk into the bedroom to found flowers, a teddy bear and two really sweet notes. It made me miss him all the more. The teddy bear was to keep me company at night. He made me cry, I swear I have turned into such a girl since I've been married. I love my husband.
Computer and Bed: Well Mikes computer is basically dead. So we bought and bought him a MAC. We really bought it because of school. He takes it to class and he has been loving it. He feels like he is taking better notes, keeping up on things better and well he just loves it. He is like a little kid. He locks it up in the safe every night or during the day if he isn't there but he usually always has it with him.
Ok so we have been sleeping on a full the last 6 months. It was very difficult, Mike's feet would hang off the edge and he likes to sleep in funny positions when he is not wanting to cuddle (which is 90% of the time) and when he turns over it is more of a flop. I am a very light sleeper, have some back problems, like to sleep at angles, am usually hot and don't like being touched and like me space when I am trying to sleep ( which if I am lucky is about 4 hours). So the full has been interesting to say the least. Well we finally did it and after much shopping we bought a KING bed. WE LOVE IT. There is still a lot of cuddling, but there is so much more sleeping too, he isn't constantly being pushed over and I am not rolling over to an elbow or getting kneed. It has made for some good stories though. It is so comfortable and I am getting some sleep YAY and my back is feeling better- who'd a thought huh.
Mike let me get whatever I wanted because of my problems and the fact that he can sleep like anywhere. Picking out bedding was difficult cause it was all on me, everything I brought home was it looks great hunny what color is it? It was so frustrating, I hate shopping in the first place and he couldn't help me cause he's color blind, plus there are some seriously ugly stuff out there.
Yeah I know its a lot of money, but thanks to amazing parents who have taught me to manage money well so we could afford it and were just fine even with one income.

Being a kid
Ok so my camera broke at a football game so we will be pictureless for a bit:( But Sunday we went over to my mom and dads for my nephews and brother in laws birthday dinner and our monthly family home evening. The food was amazing- good choice Taylor and Sam.
Mike and I went and played in the leaves with my Jordan, Megan, Issac and Sam. It was so fun and brought back lots of memories of being a kid. I loved playing in the leave at my Grandma and Grandpa Webster, some of the best times. I still love the leaves, climbing trees and roses cause of that house. Mike attacked me and kept throwing me in the leaves and the kids would throw leaves on me. I pulled him down with me, but he definately won the fight. I never really got him down. The kids were absolutely adorable and I wish I had pictures to show that I have the cutest nephews and nieces in the world- sorry everyone else.
Sam was the cutest when he was trying to eat his cake and ice cream. He had it all over himself and the ice cream he just tried to pick up and lick off. It was hilarious and so cute, he was covered from head to toe with cake, frosting and ice cream.

My amazing husband
Ok so I started my job on the 6Th of November, and I have about 15 hours of overtime. I had to train at night and on Saturday. I was really just dropped into the job and said here you go. I ask lots of questions, because you have to be so detailed when getting info from the patients, training and going to the gym at 530 in the morning ( I love being back in my program)!
Friday I was exhausted and having trouble at work understanding some things. I came home to a candlelight dinner and flowers. It was awesome. He made some of the Duck 
he had shot earlier this year (and Yes it was GOOD). He was so cute. I wasn't allowed to do anything. I went changed and sat down till it was ready. We then went out after dinner and walked around temple square (where we became such good friends, by talking about everything, which led to where we are today-married). We then went and got a red box and came home and relaxed and had desert. It was a cute date and such a nice surprise after a really long and tiring week. I am so well taken care of:)

MY PRAYERS HAVE FINALLY BEEN ANSWERED!!!! The day of the election I got a call from the Utah Bone and Joint center asking if I wanted to come in for an interview today or tomorrow, I ran home changed and we headed out there. The interview went really well, I asked when they were going to decide and they offered me the job right there. I am now work for a Orthopedic Surgeon who specializes in hip and knee replacements. He is one of the best in the country, his research is amazing and the patents he holds for his inventions when it comes to those two inventions is pretty amazing. It is nice to be able to use my degree and I am learning a lot and am busy all day long. It is such a good feeling to go to work especially after 5 months of being unemployed and doing everything I could do find a job, in any industry (except retail). During those 5 months there were many tears, frustration, feelings of worthlessness, extremely many prayers of begging and asking. The timing was amazing and could've only come from God.
