My Feller

I have seen Jon more in the past two weeks than I have all summer long. 

He made a quick trip out this way just to say hi for a weekend,

and a week later I flew out there for a quick trip to say bye to Texas.

Like I mentioned in an earlier post, we went to a trampoline house for an hour. 

if you're interested in going, it's called Airborne. it's in Draper. and it's lots of fun. 

{and you might feel too old to be there but go ahead and ignore those thoughts.}

 Oh HEY

you can practice your kewl trix

and you'll even get to be a hot sweaty mess afterwards

It was so good to just spend a weekend with him. 

Thanks to my mom I was able to fly out to Dallas for free! 

She even figured out all the flights for me and made sure I got there without too much delay.  

Thanks mom!

I got out there Tuesday and stayed until Saturday. 

It was so much fun and I loved having a quick break from work!

We... - saw People Like Us in the dollar theaters, which we both loved.

- slept in much later than acceptable each day.

- chilled at the pool.

- saw Bourne Legacy, which we both hated.

- spent time with some of the great friends we have made while working out there.

- WENT TO RELIENT K at the House of Blues.

- only splurged on one meal, it was Olive Garden {we like to eat out too much so we're cutting back}

- spent all but 7 hours together.

during which he was working. and I was getting a sunburn at the poolio.

 Pretty sure we wouldn't have worked out in h.s. if I didn't approve of this band..

good thing I LOVE them!

 what.a.hunk

 We went with our friends, Ben and Kyle. 

I've known Ben longer than I've know Jon {12 years!} 

and Jon has become good friends with Kyle over the summer.

And to the right is the one and only, Matt Thiessen. 

Admit it, you agree that his hair is beautiful. Let's convince fell to grow his out again!

POOF

During the concert I saw one of the guitarists throw his pick into our section and it totally hit a girl in the face!

Don't worry, she didn't even notice.

After the concert I looked on the ground where she was standing and there it was!

I've never {jk} seen Jon so happy.

We love Texas and could totally see ourselves there in the distant future,

the only thing is it's quite a long drive to and from Utah {family roots}

Some things I will miss about the great state of TX:

- the heat! it's so much better than the dry Utah heat.

- the kind people.

- I felt very safe there. weird?

- affordable living, and it is FAR from ghetto. 

- sodapalooza. .49 cent drinks at the gas station, my kinda heaven.
- having a pool in your back yard. whether or not you share it with 117+ other people, it's great.

I'm curious to see how attached we are to each other when he gets home {in 4 days}

If I learned anything from this Summer, it is that I am so grateful for the relationship I have with my feller. 

we indeed make each other better, 

and I never realized how true that was until we were separated for many weeks at a time. 

 I guess there is another thing I learned : We are HORRIBLE at talking on the phone.

I'm Alive!

Hey guys! So sorry for neglecting you...It wasn't really on purpose.

I'd like to blame it on Verizon for screwing up our internet order 4 times in the 3 weeks I was out in Texas.

It's a long story. 

So yeah, I'm back in Utah! And so much has happened, it's slightly overwhelming. 

Ready for a list of happenings in the past month & a half? Here we go...

 -Celebrated our anniversary at Anniversary Inn.

 We stayed in the room "Juliet's Balcony." It was really beautiful and we loved relaxing together!

-I spent some time with my favorite Gordon fam at Baby Animal Days in Logan. 

 I'm missing these girls and can't wait to see them again!

-Spent a fun day at a cute wedding in between packing.

 I guess I forgot to get a pic with the bride and groom...

-Said goodbye to our first apartment together :( 

Thanks to my dad and brothers, we were out of there really quick!

-Said see ya to our friends at Happy Sumo.

It was a fantastic way to spend our anniversary!

-Off to Texas we went! 21 hours straight + an over packed car = awesome...

 Hello, Texas! 

-Jon got ATTACKED by a dog on his first day knocking doors.

Poor dude. You should ask him to show his scars on his cute bum.
{Let me know if you'd like to hear the story}

-I worked in their office for 3 1/2 weeks.

-Lots of paperwork.

-Lots of pooltime. 

-Lots of bugs. One blended in with our couch, creepy!

-I watched my Feller get tanner and tanner each day. 

Whatahunk. 

-Our upstairs neighbors were up all night and walked really loud.

-Spent too much money on gas. It was a bit ridiculous. Long story. 

-Got lost multiple times on my way home from work. 

-Dealt with greasy hair and face due to the humidity. 

-Poor poor poor. We all need to experience this, right?

-Went to dinner with my long lost friend, Reggi! We went to her hotel that SHE DESIGNED.

 Look at this, it's amazing. The pics don't do it justice, though. 

-Made some great friends.

-Went to six movies...it kinda became a hobby. 

-I left my Feller last Sunday and headed to California :(

 3 weeks left! I don't think I'm gonna make it. 

-Trained in California for a week to manage Yogurtland!

Admit it: I look ridiculously good in my uniform, right? 

-Flew back to Utah on Saturday and I am now living with my favorite Holt's! 

I'm so excited to spend time with them and get ready for Holt baby#2 to arrive in August!

Love my Ave. 

I've been busy busy since getting back, and it's only going to get crazier!

If you're in the Bounty-land area anytime soonish, we're opening doors so soon!

We're hoping for Friday or Saturday. Cross your fingers. 

Hopefully I don't neglect this poor thing any longer!

Now it's time to skype with my cute hubby. 

End of Chapter

I feel weird. Way weird.
Ever since I was sixteen years, nine months and ten days old I have been a
true Maxxinista.
aka: I've been employed at Tj Maxx.
HELLO, that was almost six years ago!
A few months ago a customer asked me how long I worked there.
My face went hot and I felt embarrassed to say 'almost six years.'
That's when I started to feel ready for a change.
I've had that feeling before, but not like that day.
Luckily changes were in the works for Jon and I!
We'll be leaving Logan in two weeks and only coming back to visit family.
{and hit up our favorite restaurants, of course}
I'm sure gonna miss the beautiful Cache Valley...
We're set to arrive in Texas on May 9th,
and we'll start working our little bums off the next day.
Three weeks later I'll be heading to California for some training,
then back to Utah to begin managing Yogurtland in Bountiful.
{opening day is planned for June 11th-ish. Get ready!!}
I'm so excited for this opportunity, thank you Josh, Amber and Jed!
Jon and I won't see each other for about 2 1/2 months other than a family reunion in July, and a possible quick-trip to Texas for me in August.
What a challenge it'll be!
SO anyone in Bountiful/Salt Lake, let's hang out :)
Change is good, right? I've learned so much working for the TJ's and
I'll be sad to say goodbye to my friends I have made...
but I'm happy these changes are positive.
This Thursday will be the end of a good chapter,
and the beginning to an even better one
:)
