The Sweet Tooth Fairy!

After some intense interviews and some sleepless nights I was officially asked to be the General Manager of The Sweet Tooth Fairy at our Foothill location in Salt Lake. I am so excited to take on this big project and to further myself in this awesome company! Thesweettoothfairy.com, STF Facbook

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times

Michael and Ari could play together for hours sometimes. It's the funniest thing to watch! I think I fell to the floor in laughter when I got this picture. He posed so perfectly when I called his name to look at me. They are so cute!
Ari is such a good little dog but he is still a puppy and we don't dare leave anything out for him to chew on because he will CHEW! We have never ever had issues with furniture though.... Until now! I came home from a stressful day of work to this. I started to cry and put him into his kennel for a time out. I started to clean everything up when I noticed that he had only put a small whole into the back of the cushion but had unzipped it as well. It looks way worse than it actually is. We were able to stuff it up and zip it back in and now you can't even tell that something happened. Although I don't think I got over it for a few days. He is going through his adolescent stage in his life so everything he has been trained on we have to re-train him. So frustrating! He knows when he is in trouble and tries so hard to make it up to you by cuddling and being the perfect little dog and it just forces me to forgive him. I guess dogs are just like kids lol

Beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

Christmas is my favorite time of year! There is the most magical spirit that comes out right as thanksgiving comes around. Michael and I bought our first fake tree together at Walmart for $40. We like to call it our Charlie Brown tree. it's about my height and looked nothing like the picture on the box lol. It's perfect for us though. This year we will be spending Christmas was my Dad and sister's at my house. We are so excited and can't wait to be with family.

I got this hat at Petco for Ari, and boy was this a project. It took Teanna and I with about 40 treats for about 30 minutes for us to get this one shot! He ruined it once he got a old of it but it was all so worth it for this one picture :)

We had our very first Sweet Tooth Fairy Christmas party at Hilary's house this year. We had a blast! We did a pot luck and a white elephant exchange and just enjoyed each others company.
One of my favorite thing about Holidays are these dang sugar cookies! They are to die for! We stock up for the whole month :)

Maleah's Wedding!

This was such a fun day! It was my very first time witnessing someone else getting married in the Temple besides myself. It was really fun being a bridesmaid, being with all my friends, and watching my best friend get married.

Graduation!

Michael and I made a quick trip back down to California for Teanna's graduation. It was so much fun to spend some time with the family and be there to support my baby sister!

New addition!

I don't think it was much longer than month before we were married before we got a dog. Micheal's family has always been very big on animals, especially dogs. So naturally Michael made it very clear that we would have a dog when were married. We didn't agree on most dogs we saw but a Lab was one we could always agree on. One night Michael and I were at home and I made the mistake of just "looking" on ksl to see how much labs were going for.... We bought Ari the next morning lol. He has been so much fun and so hard at the same time. It's literally like having a child. We love him so much and wouldn't trade him for the world!

Ari is on the right

Our favorite face of his is when he tilts his head like this. It's the cutest thing!

Michael added his own touch to the kennel with the Jazz sticker

Honeymoon

Michael and I went to Puerto Vallarta Mexico at the Westin Resort. It was so much fun and so beautiful. It must of been the off season because it felt like we had the whole place to our self! We stayed for 5 days and it was bitter sweet. We wanted to stay so bad and enjoy soaking up the sun and napping everyday but also really wanted to get home and settle in. Michael says he wants to go back every year he loved it so much!

This was the pool area for our hotel, but there was a "sister" hotel right next store that had more pools and spas for us to use as well.

This was a little bar at our resort. We had chips and guacamole every single day. Anytime we ordered drinks we would most likely get them for free because they could not believe that we were adding any alcohol to it. We got a lot laughs and weird looks from people that week. lol

We on a zip line adventure up in the mountains were the movie Predator was filmed. We didn't get any photos of us zip lining because they wouldn't let us take our cameras, But here are a few of Michael jumping into the water on the rope. If you have seen the movie you'll recognize the water fall off the rocks.

Went on this amazing boat ride to a private island were they had the most delicious candle light dinner on the beach next to the water, and a native show. It was so much fun and so romantic

The last day we were there we ordered breakfast to our room. It was so much fun! They had the best coconut french toast.

Mom got married!

My Mom and Richard were married in March up at my Uncle Dave's house in Utah. It was such a beautiful ceremony followed with a great reception. I now have 4 new brothers and sisters! These are the only photos I could find so I will post more when I find them. Doesn't my Mom look so HOT! :)

Reception

Thank you to everyone for helping with the wedding! Everything looked amazing!

Micahel surprised me with the most beautiful necklace. We soon realized that my grandmother has worn an almost identical necklace in gold from my grandpa for as long as I can remember. He was so sweet to buy the necklace for me. Thanks Michael :)

Michael's best friend Robi passed away a little over a year ago. We were so excited when we realized we were having our reception on "Robby Cir" that we just had to make sure that Michael and his two best friends took a picture in front of it. It's just like Robi to make sure that he makes his entrance somehow.
