Ice Fishing..

This past weekend Matt and I went ice fishing with two of his friends that I just got along with instantly, Thom and Cynthia. And as you can see below Matt found the one thing that would not make me say no to ice fishing! Thom and Cynthia brought their adorable Blue Lacey puppy Alta!! She was so cold and so darn cute! (Matt was right, most of the pictures I took were of cute little Alta, playing and then getting so cold she jumped into her little bed)

I got made fun of by the boys because I gave the blanket Matt brought for me to keep warm to the puppy... As you can see it made her go right to sleep! I was okay with it.. Until I got cold haha







Just a picture of Matty fishing and sitting on his bucket because "that is how REAL fishermen fish" I just love him...












Cynthia trying to take pictures and hold the puppy. It was still sunny at this point! When the sun went away, that is when it was way too cold for the girls!







Getting ready for some fishin!






Thom and Matt getting the first hole dug




















Almost 12 inches of ICE!!! GOOD JOB LOVE!!










Oh I love her!!












Yes that is my hair going crazy, WIND SUCKS! Other than that its a pretty cute picture.











He only smiles in pictures when I beg him.. Not so much on the cheese, this one...























Yep I am puppy hungry and I have to control it! I keep telling Matt, at least right now I want a puppy and I am not baby hungry already!!!! It will be a while for that, not ready for little ones, jsut want it to be my hubby and I for a while!

I Believe..

I Believe...
A Birth Certificate shows that we were born
A Death Certificate shows that we died
Pictures show that we lived!
Have a seat . . . Relax . . . And read this slowly.
I Believe...That no matter how good a friend is, they're going to hurt you every once in a while and you must forgive them for that.
I Believe...That it's taking me a long time to become the person I want to be.

I Believe...That true friendship continues to grow, even over the longest distance. Same goes for true love.
I Believe... That you can do something in an instant That will give you heartache for life.
I Believe...That you should always leave loved ones with Loving words. It may be the last time you see them.

I Believe... That you can keep going long after you think you can't.

I Believe...That we are responsible for what We do, no matter how we feel.

I Believe...That either you control your attitude or it controls you.

I Believe...That heroes are the people who do what has to be done when it needs to be done, regardless of the consequences.

I Believe...That money is a lousy way of keeping score.

I Believe...That my best friend and I, can do anything, or nothing and have the best time.

I Believe...That sometimes the people you expect to kick you When you're down, will be the ones to help you get back up.

I Believe...That sometimes when I'm angry I have the right to be angry, But that doesn't give me the right to be cruel.

I Believe...That maturity has more to do with what types of experiences you've had And what you've learned from them and less to do with how many birthdays you've celebrated.

I Believe...That it isn't always enough, to be forgiven by others. Sometimes, you have to learn to forgive yourself.

I Believe...That no matter how bad your heart is broken the world doesn't stop for your grief.

I Believe...That our background and circumstances may have influenced who we are, But, we are responsible for who we become.

I Believe...That you shouldn't be so eager to find Out a secret. It could change your life Forever.

I Believe...Two people can look at the exact same Thing and see something totally different.

I Believe...That your life can be changed in a matter of Hours by people who don't even know you.

I Believe...That even when you think you have no more to give, when A friend cries out to you - you will find the strength to help.

I Believe...That the people you care about most in life are taken from you too soon.

I believe...'The happiest of people don't necessarily have the best of everything; They just make the most of everything.'

Apartment Change

So we haven't even moved in yet and there is a LARGE possibility we are changing apartments already! Here is the story..

So there are these apartments right behind the Jasmine restaurant by the Cottonwood Mall that are very hard to get into because it is such a small apartment complex, you have to have a referral. Well the receptionist at my work lives there right now and she gave me the number of the landlord and when I called about a month ago she had just rented out their available apartment the week before but she would keep me on the list. Well the other place, Cobble Creek, had a place available April 1st and they were putting pressure on because they had "so many calls in the past week" so we took the plunge and put the deposit down... Well go figure the receptionist at my work decided she and her friend (who also lives in the Lindon Apts, the one we want) were moving out April 1st and want us to take over the lease if it works out.. Its 80 sq ft larger and $100 cheaper a month!! UH YEAH!! haha

SO now we are waiting for Jeanette to call us back after she talks to the landlord tonight about how to work out the lease situation... Matt and I went and looked at the place last night and it just felt right, we both saw ourselves living there! And its a 2 bedroom so we will have extra room!! It is just a better situation for us all together! I am hoping that it all falls into place like it feels it should and we can move in in 2 months.. AHHH 2 MONTHS!!! Time flies by when you are stressed! haha

Best part? Other than it being large and homey for us? It is right across the street from the Holladay Fitness and Rec Center

I just cant wait to get the ball rolling on this wonderful opportunity!
Keep your fingers crossed for us!!!! :)

15 Maybe's

15 MAYBE 's

1. Maybe . . . We were supposed to meet the wrong peoplebefore meeting the right one so that, when we finally meetthe right person, we will know how to be grateful for thatgift .

2. Maybe . . . When the door of happiness closes,another opens; but, often times, we look so long at theclosed door that we don't even see the new one which hasbeen opened for us.

3. Maybe . . . It is true that we don't know whatwe have until we lose it, but it is also true that wedon't know what we have been missing until it arrives.

4. Maybe . . . The happiest of people don'tnecessarily have the best of everything; they just make themost of everything that comes along their way.

5. Maybe . . . The brightest future will always bebased on a forgotten past; after all, you can't go onsuccessfully in life until you let go of your past mistakes,failures and heartaches.

6. Maybe . . . You should dream what you want to dream;go where you want to go, be what you want to be, because youhave only one life and one chance to do all the things youdream of and want to do.

7. Maybe . . . There are moments in life when you misssomeone -- a parent, a spouse, a friend, a child -- so muchthat you just want to pick them from your dreams and hugthem for real. So once they are around you, appreciatethem more.

8. Maybe . . . The best kind of friend is the kind youcan sit on a porch and swing with, never say a word, andthen walk away feeling like it was the best conversationyou've ever had.

9. Maybe . . . You should always try to put yourself inothers' shoes. If you feel that something could hurtyou, it probably will hurt the other person, too.

10. Maybe . . . You should do something nice for someoneevery single day, even if it is simply to leave them alone.Profound!

11. Maybe . . Giving someone all your love is never anassurance that they will love you back. Don't expectlove in return; just wait for it to grow in their heart; butif it doesn't, be content that it grew in yours.

12. Maybe . . . Happiness waits for all those who cry, allthose who hurt, all those who have searched, and all thosewho have tried, for only they can appreciate the importanceof all the people who have touched their lives .

13. Maybe . . . You shouldn't go for looks; they candeceive; don't go for wealth; even that fades away. Gofor someone who makes you smile, because it takes only asmile to make a dark day seem bright. Find the one thatmakes your heart smile .

14. Maybe . . . You should hope for enough happiness tomake you sweet, enough trials to make you strong, enoughsorrow to keep you human, and enough hope to make you happy.

15. Maybe . . . You should try to live your life to thefullest because when you were born, you were crying andeveryone around you was smiling but when you die, you can bethe one who is smiling and everyone around you crying.

Maybe . . . You could send this message to those peoplewho mean something to you, to those who have touched yourlife, to those who can and do make you smile when you reallyneed it, to those who make you see the brighter side ofthings when you are really down, and to all those whom youwant to know that you appreciate them and their friendship.
