i LOVE love

I  love love. I love being in love. And I love celebrating love! Even the 20 years of being single on v-day before I met Ryan, I always have loved it! Valentines Day is another excuse to celebrate and I am ALWAYS looking for reasons to celebrate! Like Ryan's promotion this Thursday... celebrate! Me putting in my two weeks notice to carinos... CELEBRATE!!!


Valentines Day (well Sunday when we celebrated v-day) was perfect! Ryan had been out of town all weekend on a hunting trip so I had lots of time to my self to prep. I made Ryan's favorite roast, potatoes and corn (best sunday dinner ever) and my favorite asparagus and chocolate covered strawberry's mmmm. I went a little construction paper crazy and cut out tons of red and white hearts and used thread to string them down from the ceiling all around the dinning room table. Ryan's letter was also construction paper lots of shapes and sizes of colorful paper and stuck to my big magnet board. I had way to much fun making it. I got Ryan candy (and then ate it all opps) and Call of Duty Black Ops. If thats not love then I don't know what is! I just had it sitting on the table I was too lazy to wrap it but it took him sooo long to ever see it, then finally WHAT?!? Black Ops? hehe it was funny. Ryan got me well actually us tickets to go see CIRQUE DU SOLEIL: ALEGRIA that is going to be in Corpus this weekend. Whao I am so excited! I especially liked this gift because it extends the celebrating into this weekend! Ryan also wrote me the sweetest letter ever, he is so good at that. And my sweet parentals give me a adorable necklace and Ryan a giftcard, I love them and hate not being able to call them all the time right now. Actual v-day love was substituted for angry/ mean people, ya I worked. I can't believe how extra angry people were on such a happy day. Anyways pictures.

I hope you all had a LOVEly Valentines day! 

its a wonderful day for pie

We did go see hp.
It was round two for me
here I am dressed as Luna Lovegood at the midnight premier with my friend Ginny Wesley aka Jessi

and the impossible happened, Ryan loved the movie and said "i am now inspired to read the rest of the books (4-7) and watch the rest of the movies(1-6) with with you." Wahhoooo We watched HP1 Fridday :)

It was a nice, quiet, relaxing thanksgiving with just me and my partner in crime, I sure love him. And we sure missed our families, it was strange not being surrounded by our loved ones, maybe next year!

 So many things to be thankful for, we are truly blessed!

Hope you all had a fab Thanksgiving!

christmas cheer

is it cheesy to send out Christmas cards if is just me and my husband, maybe

but we are going to be 1,676.7 miles (door to door) away from our families this year. tear.
so I am doing it, I am sending Christmas cheer up to our families in Idaho.

and then I see on my friend Ambers blog that Shutterfly is giving BLOGGERS 50 free cards. awesome awesome awesome. And the best part is they are adorable!

Oh i am so excited for this time of year. Thanksgiving only 2 days away I attempting to make a Thanksgiving dinner for the first time. Then December which = happiness.

Now I just need to decided which I like best. I may be the most indecisive person in the world so for some reason these cards never make it out that is the problem I couldn't decide, so they were never made sound to familiar.

Also 50 cards is ALOT, more than I know what to done with so if you would like one, send me your address! junebyw@gmail.com

Saint Patrick

Did you know that Saint Patrick is not even Irish? well he is not he is actually from England and went on a mission to Ireland. Just a little fact I picked up in Ireland last summer, have I mentioned how much i LOVED that place! It is so beautiful, full of culture, and has the most friendly people with great sense of humors. I absolutely LOVED it there and three days was just not long enough I must go back and see more of that country!

Seriously isn't it beautiful!?! Well i hope you all have a Happy St. Paddy's Day! I just love holidays! For this one I unfortunately will be working a verrry long double but perhaps after work i will watch "P.S. I love you" to get a glimpse of the the breathtaking Wicklow Mountains.

What are you doing for St. Patrick's Day?

Okay first things first, i GRADUATED from college!!! December 18th was the big day, finally the last four years of slaving away at BYU-I have paid off! I graduated with a major in Communication with an advertising emphasis and did two clusters instead of a minor one in sociology ( i love learning about people) and the other in Recreational management (yep a bit random.) I had sooo much support though out my college career and also at my graduation as you can see below. My amazing hub put up with a lot of my school related panic attacks about how "there is no way i can get all of this done in time." i said this weekly but if you asked him he would prob say daily. Also my grandma and grandpa Price, and grandma Potter came they have always been so supportive of me and are great examples who i have always looked up to. All of my siblings were there to show there support. And last but definitely not least my mom and dad, i really could have not accomplished this with out their help and support. I am so thankful to have to great parents who love me and always support me in my decisions. I also love the diamond necklace they gave my for graduation, it is perfect!

Next Christmas! My most favorite time of the year, that i did not take one picture of, NOT one! i am so mad with my self. We had a great christmas!!! Ryan and I were both spoiled and I got everything I wanted and more!!! We had lots of family time , saw friends we have not seen in a long time a ATE too much!

We also had the annual Potter family seafood dinner, my Grandma is the best always making these delicious and fun meals for the family get together. Here are all the girls cousins minus Kari and Lexi (we are way out numbered by the boys!)

At carinos graduation time usually means some one leaving and moving on with there lives, the end of this semester 4 of my favorite girls who have been around as long as I have left :( These girls making working there so much more fun, I will miss them! So we had to have a girls good-bye lunch!

First, Allyx & I with all the girls leaving Rachel, Michelle and Chelase. Next, all the girls, Last the fourth girl leaving the one that makes me baby hungry, Rachel's little girl!

And finally ringing in the new year! We had a party it was fun.

We partied with Trav & Janae, Dan and A rock, we were there of coarse and also, Kaylee and Shelby!

We played some pictionary...

some around the world ping pong....

we also played rock band and our NEW wii! Super Mario Brothers is so sweet!

We also ate like kings.

I am excited for what 2010 will bring us!

Hope you all had a merry Christmas and fun new year!

For Thanksgiving we headed down south with my family to Vegas and St. George for a week to spend some time with my grandparents, aunt, uncle and cousins!

These are all the Vegas pictures I got, too busy shopping!

We had to take the classic/cheesy cousins on the stairs picture, but were missing half of us.

girls cousins whom i LOVE, my wonderful grandparents, cute little Karston, and of coarse some football watching

more Karston, cousins in the WARM St. George weather, boys, and siblings!

We had a great Thanksgiving with LOTS of the best things family, food and shopping!

The best way to spread Christmas cheer is to sing loud for all to hear

Thank you buddy the Elf... that is my new plan of attack to get my bahumbug husband excited for Christmas this year. Today the christmas decorations went up, it was our first time and it was fun. Oh i am so excited for the holidays!!! Thanksgiving in four days and we leave tomorrow for St. George/ Vegas.

4th of July

in

Driggs Idaho

i love driggs its one of my favorite places ever, this year all the family, aunts, uncles and cousins headed to my grandparents in driggs for the 4th of july weekend. We played lots of volleyball, worked on the ranch, went to the victor parade, ate LOTS of yummy food, watch the fireworks, taught Ryan how to play annie-I-over (it must be played when all the cousins are in Driggs)

this truck is the oldest registered vehicle in the Teton Valley, who knew grandpa had this hanging around not me, but apparently in Driggs is is okay to park your cars in the road like that haha. Thats another reason I love that place.

Ryan is no HP fan, so he was a gem to come along and a real trooper for leaving on the hp glasses i got him long enough for a pic.
