So Sweet

*Lost my camera, so phone pictures will have to do.*

My nanny got really sick today so she was not able to come watch Hadley for the afternoon. I couldnt find a replacement babysitter in time so I missed class and I got to hang out with my sweet girl.

She is getting so big. She just loves to sit down with all of her toys, watch Baby Einstein and sip some milk from her sippy. My favorite thing is watching her dance to the beat of the classical music on the video.

I am so happy I get to spend the day with Little Miss Hadley. Can I just tell you that watching Baby Einstein with my sweet girl is so much more fun then sitting in a literacy class.

SO MUCH TO BLOG ABOUT, NOT ENOUGH TIME

Time to catch up. Let me recap the past month.

We had a great Christmas with the Nelson side of the family.

New Years Eve was spent with my family.

I started school....again. (It's my last year, YAHOO!)

Hadley loves her two babysitters. (Thanks Jan and Kristen)

Hadley now has 7 teeth.

Hadley loves to eat real food. Her favorites include cheese, yogurt, all fruits, and some veggies.

Hadley hates peas.

Hadley shows no interest in crawling. Should I be worried? She is 9 months...

Hadley got sick for the first time. Double ear infection.

Jordan's tire business is doing great.

I was called to teach primary again. Yay for the 7 year olds.

Still going strong with my New Years resolutions. I have lost 14 lbs since January 1st.

I love Zumba. I try to go 3 times a week.

Life is busy, but I wouldnt have it any other way.

Below are some pictures taken during the holidays.

Resolutions

1: Get good grades- shoot for A's and B's.
2: Graduate- Do all the necessary steps to graduate in December.
3: Attend the gym at least 4 times a week- I really would like to go 5-6 times a week but 4 is more realistic.
4: Loose weight and gain muscle- I still have 20 lbs to go before i am at my pre pregnancy weight and I want to loose a little more than that.
5: Eat healthy
6: Keep a clean house- Make my bed daily, and keep up on dishes.
7: Attend church with a better attitude- since having Hadley going to church seems like a chore.
8: Attend the temple more regularly
9: Be better at prayers and scriptures

She Loves Cows

Hadley loves it when I say "MOOOOOOOOOOOOO" she laughs and laughs and laughs. So cute.

Plug for Hubs

Hey All!

Do you need new tires?

No worries, Jordan sells any brand and size of tire for a great price.

Like we are talking $200-$400 savings.

Call or text him if you need a set 801-440-5625.

Our warehouse is in Salt Lake so all you people in Utah can benefit from this.

OR

If you live in Idaho, Jordan gets shipments from the warehouse in Salt Lake once a week.



Don't worry, this is for real. Jordan has always sold tires on the side for extra $$, but a few months ago he decided to make this tire and wheel thing a full time job. It has been pretty successful. His company is called Wholesale Direct and the prices really are amazing!

Thanksgiving

This year for Thanksgiving we went to Utah. Hadley and I were able to go down for about a week. Unfortunately Jordan had to work all week so he was only able to come down for Thanksgiving day.

It was lots of fun hanging out with my older sisters who traveled hundreds of miles to be there.

There was lots of eating, shopping, movie watching, and catching up.

The vacation came to an abrupt end when over half of the family got sick and everyone had to leave early. Luckily Hadley and I didnt catch the bug.

Hope you all had a great Thanksgiving!

Touch of Death

Sorry for such a dramatic title.

....Let me explain...

Today I leared that my beloved Nordstrom in Orem is closing. That place has been my favorite stop when I go home to visit. I spent many hours there shopping and working to pay for my college tuition. Orem Nordstrom is also the place Jordan proposed to me. As I gathered all my special memories I realized that working at Nordstrom was my favorite job I have ever had.

Well, that thought led to thinking about all my other jobs I have had which brought me to the conclusion that I have the touch of death. Almost every company I have worked for has gone out of business shortly after I work there.

See for yourself:

Swank Jewelry...My sister started a little shop in the mall a few years ago, it only stayed open for a few months.

Limited Too....Went out of business

Shade...Went out of business (I heard they are reopening though)

Hogi Yogi...The one I worked at went out of business, and I am pretty sure all the other locations are closing too.

Western Watts...I think the whole company went under, but the one I worked at is completely GONE!

Nordstrom...ALMOST GONE

National Future Benefits...Almost Out of Business, I think they are only open because they have a few clients left.

Epiphany Media Centers...Out of business

The only companies I have worked for that are actually still running are: The Post Register Newspaper and eBay. Want to know the crazy thing about the PR and eBay? Both companies went down in revenue once I started working. :o

So there you have it. I am cursed.
