Day one, and a dance competition

So, I started the new job today! It went great, I can tell I am going to love it! I am very happy, and very excited to see it finally get here! It was a wonderful first day, and I am expecting more to come! Ben has been very supportive of my job change, even though it will mean a little less of our already little time together. Thank you, Ben, I love you! Also, on Saturday we went to my brother Ryan's dance competition. They danced in the semi-finals for Samba, Cha cha, and Rumba and did great! I was very proud of my little bro...he is a mjor stud too, he had 8 girls come to watch him! Look out girls, he turns 16 next month! Two of my little sisters (Brittney on the left and Emily on the right) came to watch too, it was a family event! We had a great time, but it did make me miss dancing a lot! One of these days I'll get Ben to dance, but until then, we will just watch instead! :)

NEW JOB!!!

So, I have some exciting news, I am starting a new job! I have offically quit my job at the Sheraton Hotel (as of today!) to go train to be a manager at Seagull Book! I love Seagull, I have worked in 6 different stores but eventually had to quit to make more money at my current job. But, I am coming back as an "MT"! I am very excited! I will be working in the Riverdale store, which is only 10 minutes from home instead of 40, and it is the opposite direction of rush hour traffic, which will be AWESOME! I can't imagine driving to work without a traffic jam...I start on the 29th, and I can't wait! I love everything about this job and I can't wait to get back in a bookstore! My sweetie has been very supportive of my decision, and I so apprecite him for that! Wish me luck!

FOOTBALL!

Go BYU! The game on Saturday was amazing, 59-0 over UCLA! Go fight win! Ben and I had fun watching the game with lots of food and in our PJs, it was a nice relaxing weekend after a really hectic week! I am lucky that even though I married a man from up North, he is still a die hard BYU fan! Go Cougars!

So it begins...

Okay, so this first picture is my "real" wedding day picture, only of the few moments when there wasn't sideways snow and sleet! Ben's family had to drive an hour down to make it, and it was a little scary! I knew a March wedding was a little touch and go for weather, but give me a break! :) It was gorgeous day before my wedding day, and I woke up to a blanket of white!

These wedding pictures were taken a full 5 months later in August, right after we had been at Lake Powell with my family for a week, which is why we look all tan! So, got to wear my dress again, that was a lot of fun!

I got pretty good mileage out of my dress, I got to wear it for bridals, wedding day, wedding day pics later, the reception, and an open house a week later! It was great! :)

So, I decided to stop being lame and just start blogging already! Lindsay will tell you that I never thought this was something I would do and I warn you now, I might just randomly give up! :) To give everyone a quick update on my life...Today is my 2 1/2 year anniversary of being married to the man of my dreams! Ben Anderson is a wonderful husband and we are very much in love! We currently live up north in Clearfield (almost to Ogden!) which has been weird for me! I kinda miss happy valley...but that is okay! Ben teaches tech support for Dell computers, and I am sorry to say that I NEVER undertand a word he says when he talks about work! Oh well...I try though! I work in downtown Salt Lake City in the sales department of a hotel as a sales and wedding coordinator. It is a stressful job, especially if I get a bridezilla! It has been fun though, I have coordinated some very unique weddings, including a Muslim one where the groom arrived on horseback! I am almost alwyas more stressed about these weddings that I ever was about my own which makes my husband laugh. Ben is currently going to school at Weber, and I am very proud of him. Despite a 50 hour work week he still has excellent grades. We don't get to see much of each other though, we leave the house together at 7:15 AM, and then I get home from work at about 7:00. Ben gets home from school middday with about an hour to spare before going to work and he usually gets home from work around 1:00 AM! Needless to say, our weekends are precious! Well, I knew this would happen, I already know I talk to much, but I am afraid that personality trait translates to TYPING too much too! :) Don't worry, they won't all be this long! (Hopefully...)
