Valentine's and Andy's Wedding

On Valentine's Day this year, we were able to have a nice breakfast together and Sam surprised me with beautiful roses! i loved them! he is such a sweetheart. Then we headed up to Salt Lake because Sam's good friend Andy got married that morn and we were invited to the wedding luncheon, which was really fun. everything was so gorgeous! then we came back and celebrated Valentines with Sam's mom who was in town and Steve and Sarra. we had an awesome steak dinner and played games all night. it was so fun! Here are a few pics from throughout the day....

Fun weekend at Amy's

This past weekend we decided to drive up to sam's sis amy's house in shelley, idaho for the weekend. considering she just had a baby and sam's mom was there, we figure it would be a fun time to visit. and it was!! steve and sarra came up with us also and we all had a blast! Amy had her baby last monday and when we saw her on friday she looked amazing and looked like she was feeling great! and baby alex is so cute. we had so much fun playing games with everyone, going out to eat, getting in their awesome jacuzzi and just hanging out.. its nice that they only live 3 hours away and it was also nice for sam's mom to be there visiting too. we had so much fun!
he is so adorable.. matt (amy's hubby) is checkin out his long toes lol:
this is steve and sarra's girl lizzie. she is a crack up!!
here is sydney (amy's 5 year old) helping take care of alex.. she already knows how to hold him right, feed him a bottle, AND burp him. she is awesome:

New Toys....

I havent written in a while so i decided to share some fun stuff today... about a week and half ago, the buttons on my phone decided to stop working. completely. i could still receive calls by sliding it open but i had no way of txting, answering by pressing the green button, or even get to my contacts, let alone call anyone. when i called t-mobile (on another phone), they said it was out of the warranty bc "the little white dot in the back was red.." even tho i never got my phone wet EVER, they still said there was nothing they could do about it and i had to buy a new phone. so after contemplating purchasing a new phone at full price, we decided that i change services and get on sam's plan with him (i was with t-mobile, he was with sprint) to save us money AND to get a better deal on a phone.. all in all, even tho i will have to pay a cancellation fee, we saved money on getting the phone at the new customer price AND it will save us money on our monthly bills. woohoo! so this is the phone i chose. it IS pink and i love it (ps the pic doesnt do the color justice.. its more of a powder pink). its touch screen and so fun. i can check my email and even get on facebook on it lol..
also, our cheap vacuum broke like 6 months ago and we never got around to getting a new one.. the other day we both looked at our floor and realized we REALLY needed a vacuum so we finally went out and bought one haha.... we decided not to get a dinky little cheap one again, instead we got ourselves a real one this time LOL.. its a kenmore upright with a bag, not too expensive. ive always had bagless so we will see how it goes. i used it on my whole apt. tonight and so far i LOVE it. plus its so pretty hehe..
other than getting a couple new fun toys, school has been CRAZY busy.. tests, papers, concerts, me teaching a couple voice lessons(for a class), and other various practices going on. sam has spent some of his time working on composing some fun songs with all his sound recording gear lately and i have an opera thing in a couple weeks plus a recital in march so i have been booked with all sorts of rehearsals and practice. it will be nice when opera scenes are over and i have a little more free time to focus on my recital and of course on things like hanging out with my hubby more or blogging haha...
