Poor Infiniti...

Yesterday was quite the traumatic day. Dan's new baby, the Infiniti, was involved in an accident on the freeway. Although she's still in a bit of shock and pain, we're happy to report that she's recovering. Fortunately, her morale has been kept up by the support and outreach from her friends in the community. We came home to find this word of encouragement on our garage after the incident:



Here she is right before she's headed off to the mechanic for some reconstructive surgery.
If you can't tell, she's very nervous.
Get well soon Infiniti, we're all rooting for you!

Holiday Fun

Christmas was so much fun this year. My mom made a fabulous dinner for us on Christmas eve, complete with a chocolate fountain and everything! It was delish!Then we all opened a few presents.
Here we are in our new pj's! And yes, my parents are definitely Trekkie's! (wow, spell check just verified that Trekkie is and actual word)

My favorite part about the holiday season is getting to see my family who live so far away. We always have so much fun together! I wish we could get together more often!!
It's finally 2010. Can you believe it? I know this is going to be a great year, Dan and I have a bunch of resolutions and goals that we plan on accomplishing to make this year even better than 2009! New years eve was fun, but it was definitely a struggle to stay up past midnight. Geez, we're getting old! This is the only picture I took... man, I need to start capturing the fun a little better with pictures! Maybe that should be another resolution.
Happy New Years!!!!

It's beginning to feel a lot like Christmas

The past couple weeks have been filled with Holiday fun. We had all of our friends over for a big ugly sweater Christmas Party, which was a blast! It was so great to get everyone together again.

Then of course, it wouldn't be Christmas without a Holiday Family Picture....and when I say family I mean the whole family. Although it's a bit embarrassing, it's also hilarious so I decided to post one.
Notice the cat my mom is holding. I'm not sure who was hating taking this picture the most- the cats, or Dan. Probably Dan.

Last Saturday my beautiful friend Kylee got married. The wedding was great- and we are so happy for her and James!

A night out on the town

Last night my parents took Dan and I out for a spectacular evening. We started out with a fabulous dinner at the Roof, which buffet style restaurant on the top of the Joseph Smith Memorial building with an AMAZING view of the temple! I think we had the best seats in the house. Here is a picture of us sitting at our table:





Here we are surrounded by our devoured dessert plates, wondering why we ate so much!! Dang buffets!

After dinner, we took a carriage ride around Temple Square. Even though we were freezing our butts off, it was so fun!


To end the night right, we went back up to the Top of the Joseph Smith Memorial Building and got Hot Chocolate at a little cafe.


It was such a fun night, and the perfect way to kick off the Holiday Season. Thanks Mom and Dad!!

Halloween!!!

Thanks to the Fronks, Halloween was great this year!! Katie and Blake hosted an awesome party, and we had so much fun! Unfortunately for Dan and I, we were lame this year and put off finding a costume until literally 20 minutes before the party. (whoops!) Luckilly my mom had the infamous bucket of old halloween costumes that she had aquired over the years, so we were able to throw something together...

So as you can see... I am a witch and Dan is a dead viking! Dan ended up losing the mask on the way to Katies, and became a live viking. Apparently that wasn't so clear, however, because on the way into the house a kid shouted, "Look, he's a deer!" Obviously, my manly viking was quite offended by getting mistaken for a graceful deer, but we got through it. :)

Everyone had great costumes, especially Jeff and Linnea! They made the wolf costume, aren't they amazing? Here are some pics from the party:

The boys:

(gotta love the pumpkin!)


The girls:


The great themed treats! Props to Katie and Blake!

October Fun!

October has been a fun month for us. We've been in California for the past two years, so we have been so excited to get to enjoy fall this season! (Although it's a lot shorter than I remember... and we're NOT looking forward to winter! YUCK!) Dan and I decided to have celebrate halloween early with our own little pumpkin party. We carved some pumpkins, and treated ourselves to some amazing kneaders pumpkin pie.
Here is Dan's haunted tree:
And here is my oh so scary kitty:

Yeah, we're pretty talented! :)

Also, remember how I mentioned I LOST my dang wedding ring? (Yeah I know.. super sad. I try to pretend it never happened!) So really, I pretended that it never happend for so long that I had no wedding ring on for months. Recently, I came to terms with the loss and we decided that it was time I moved on. So we went to Dillards and... ta-da!

I'm married again! :) 20 bucks got us this fabulous ring. This picture doesn't really do it justice, but I have had more compliments on this ring (from strangers) than I ever had on my old ring! Sheesh! Maybe we should have got this cheap one in the first place!

Here are a few more pictures from this month. Dan and I have got back in the habit of having a date night every Friday, and it has been great! We fell out of the habit when we moved back to Utah because things just got so crazy busy, so it's SO nice to get to look forward to spending time with my wonderful hubby every week!



Ok... one more picture. We took this from our front porch on our way out for a date last week- Isn't is beautiful? We have the best view from our front porch, and we get to see the most amazing sunsets! We are so blessed! :)

Florida Fun!

Once again I'm a little late at posting this, but I wanted to share a fun little vacay Dan and I took this summer. Dan had to do some training in Fort Meyers, Florida for work, so we thought it would be fun if I tagged along! It was especially fun for me- because I spent the entire time chillin on the beach while Dan was in meetings. But as soon as he was done we would party it up!
This is the AWESOME view from our hotel room:

In the evening, sting rays would come right up to the shore!



We had so much fun... I'm hoping for another business trip in the near future! :)
