Chloe and High Valley

We were hanging out at the apartment and I looked over and found her asleep like this... she had been playing with my boots and I think it wore her out.

I like this picture because it gives you an idea on how small she is.

My mom helped me give Chloe her first bath.... then she shivered in her arms for the next 20 mins... poor thing. (I think she was playing it up a lot too.) After her bath she was extra fluffy and clean... super cute!

After her bath... Chloe LOVES grandma... I swear all she does whenever we are over here is sleep on her lap. I think mom is ok with it ;)

Its been awhile since I have updated my blog simply because I am no longer constantly around a computer. Last Tuesday I was laid off at High Valley. I cant say I didnt really see it coming since construction is REALLY slow right now and we werent doing that good. But I was bummed. I grew to love my co-workers and will miss being around them everyday. I called Jason when I was driving home that morning and let him know and he asked if he could come over that night. When he got to my apartment he had me turn around cuz he had a suprise for me. I had an idea that he MIGHT be getting me a puppy for Valentines day but he brought her over early to cheer me up. It worked. I named her Chloe. She's a pomeranian Chuwuawua mix and is absolutely adorable. She's 9 weeks old now and weighs 1.33 pounds (the lady at petco weighed her today) She will probably only get about 4 pounds. I would be lying if I said it was super easy all the time... I first tried house training but I think tonight jason and I are going to get a crate for her and start with crate training cuz I felt like a new mother... waking up a couple times in the night to go to the bathroom with her... then early in the morning cuz she was up and wanting to play. But I love her :)

Mission Calls and Superbowl

Friday Jason got his mission call!!  He was called to the.... wait for it.... Pocatello Idaho Mission!!  hahaha!!  He has been joking about being called there for weeks now so when he read that everyone (especially himself) just started laughing.  He reports to the MTC April 1st and is very excited!  I am excited for him.  I will miss him soo much but I am so proud of his decision to serve a mission.  

Sunday we had a big Superbowl potluck party at Jason's house.  They recored the game that way we could all go to church (mom...) since singles wards start at 1. There was probably about 20-25 people there and everyone brought something so there was a bunch of food!  I had such a stomach ache by the end of the night just from eating all the random food.  blahh.  But it was such a good game and sooo much fun!!  I was sad the Cardinal's lost, they are Jason's favorite football team... and he honestly looked like he wanted to cry when the Steelers got that last touchdown in the final 50 seconds.  haha  oh well.  

New Hair!

So I did it... I cut bangs.  I am still getting use to them and most the time like them.  I think I am just adjusting.  They are already growing on me more and more.  I took some pictures on my computer at work so you can have a visual.  EnjoY!

Bangs??

The guy who does my hair, Tony, is moving to Chile next month so I have one more time chance for him to color and cut it.  So far I have never had a complaint with what he has done.  I have been working on growing my hair out but I kinda want to do one more change to it before he leaves and Ashlee takes over doing my hair.  So I was thinking bangs...  I would pretty much go by this picture, I like her style bangs.  Plus this way I can still work on growing out my hair... anyway, I am kinda nervous about it.  What are your thoughts?

Vegas!

   This past weekend was a girls trip to Vegas.  I am probably the worst person about taking pictures.  I just always forget my camera or just dont think to pull it out so all the pictures posted are thanks to my friend Aryn!  Anyway so Friday when we got off work me and Ashlee started the drive up to Vegas.  We didnt hit much traffic and was there by 10.  That night we actually hung out with her cousin and his friends instead of going out since right when we got there they were leaving to go out, and we werent ready.  Plus I think Doug (ashlee's cousin) was excited to have us in town.  He works for a wedding chapel on the strip driving limo's so picked us up in the limo.  We then went to some 80's cover band, del taco then back to Dougs to hang out.  

        The next day was a total girls day.  We woke up all starving so got ready and then got food.  Then we spent the rest of the day walking around shopping and doing touristy things on the strip.   We ended up walking SOO FAR!!  our feet were killing up so we took a taxi back to our hotel (the Monte Carlo) and rested up before dinner.  For dinner we went to some sushi place that we had heard was soo good.  Well they had since changed the menu. it was not good at all.  Oh well.  We knew some people that could get us into a new club at the Wynn XS so we tried that out.  We saw Snoop Dogg there and got to dance with him for like 5 mins!!  That was fun...    After that we went to New York New York to this place Rok.  We ended up spending the rest of the night there.  It was pretty fun.  We were going to try one more place after that but all our feet hurt soo bad we just said forget lets put on pajama's and get food.

      Sunday all the other girls were leaving so they got ready and went to get food then head out. Me and Ashlee took our time and got ready then Doug called and invited us to church so we met up with him and went to his ward with him and his friends.  One of his friends Brandon invited us over for family dinner, so after church we all went over there.  There was a CES broadcast that night with Pres. Monson that his dad really wanted him to go too so we all went to that after.  The rest of the night we just hung out.  Brandon's parents let us stay at their grandparents house that they bought.  No one ever stays there so me and ashlee had our own place Sunday night which was nice.  We woke up monday morning got ready got lunch on the strip, walked around a little bit then headed home.  All in all it was a very fun weekend!  It had been awhile since I had been to Vegas and this trip was exactly what I needed!

Us getting breakfast/lunch Saturday afternoon!
These people were giving out free hugs... we gave them all free hugs then took pictures with them.  They all seemed semi normal except the guy with the shirt that said peace for cats (far left)

White Man!!  I love these guys!!  at the Venetian!
In Paris!  I had never actually been in this hotel.  its soo cute!
This was Saturday night.  we went to the hotel cafe in pajama's and socks to eat and they wouldnt let us walk like 10 feet to our table to eat without shoes so we sent Larisa and Anna to get shoes for us all.  This is what we all got.  
      

New Years Eve!

This year for New Years Eve we went to San Diego for a big YSA thing down there.  I had to work that day but ended up getting off at 12 which was nice cuz I had time to meet Ashlee for lunch and go home watch a movie, take a nap then get ready before, we headed down to Huntington to meet up with Jason, Austin, Kui, and Todd.  Before going to the dance we stopped by the hotel we were staying at to drop off our stuff and meet up with some other people.  (there were like 20+ people staying at the Sheridan) The dance was a lot of fun.  This year they had Subway and Golden Spoon, laser tag (which i didnt get to do cuz there was too long of a line), I guess they also had rockband set up but I didnt see that.  I just had fun dancing with friends.  

    There was an after party that was at some church but first a band played then the DJ's were going to start.  But while the bands were playing someone pulled the fire alarm (lame... i know) so by the time the DJ's were about the start the fire department showed up and we all had to leave.  So we all went back to the hotel.  Messed around there for awhile.  Finally about 6:30 I decided I was too tired to stay awake anymore I crashed. 

       Everyone was up by 9:30 and wanting to get breakfast.  Mimi's won so pretty much all of us went over there for breakfast then headed home.  I was soo tired we went home slept for a few hours.  I then got up, showered, and Jason picked me up and I hung out in Huntington that night.  All in all I had a great new years and was glad i was able to spend it with friends and Jason. 

This is actually from the Friday after New Years, the Huntington Beach dance was a Rockstar Theme. 
Most of us at breakfast... looking happy once we had eaten.
Lisa, me, Haidy, and Ashlee at the dance :)
Some of the group after the dance...

Late Night Karaoke!

Saturday night everyone was looking for something to do.  So we decided to try out this little karaoke place in Garden Grove.  Basically you pay per hour and you and your group have your own room (you can choose the small, medium, or large room).  Well we ended up having a pretty large group so we had the largest room they had.  It was SOO fun!  For an hour we all sung and danced.  I am so glad we found this place...  

Me and Ashlee picking out our next song!  (ignore the crazy who jumped in the way, I stole these from some girls camera so ya... we got what we got)
Some of us on the couches...  (again with the crazy)  I think Jason was about to go...  he LOVES karaoke.
