June Adventures

So... do to the fact that Daniel and I work full time, "summer vacation" isn't a thing we know about anymore (which is a good thing!... right? heh) Well... Daniel and I have done some fun stuff so far! July will be more adventurous but, June has been fulfilled as well :)

1. Las Veeeegaaasss-Daniel's Bday!

In order to get away from reality, we decided to go and visit family in vegas! Super fun weekend and super needed! And with our new baby (the car.) we hardly had to fill up for gas :) 

Birthday Cookie at BJ's! This place has the BEST Soda, btw.

 SEESTORS!!!!!!!! 

Obsession, much?

 This kid.... SO AWESOME at scooter tricks! I was very impressed!!

2. Lagoon!

Daniel's work gave us free tickets to Lagoon! Super fun day! It brought back a lot of memories because I used to go there from the ages of 5-8... so... it was weird being there lol.

Oh and.... Daniel and I won a free TV =D It's the perfect size for our room! LOVE it! (Thanks Genesis Pure... AKA Daniel's worky)

LAGOON!... no we weren't flying... we were on the sky ride! Super relaxing... my fave ride :)

We went through Pioneer land?... I think that's what it's called... and they have a cute Music Hall!

3. Hiking Mount Timp (sorta...)

Daniel's friend Mike came into town from Florida/Texas... and he doesn't see mountains much... so... he wanted to hike one. lol. We actually wanted to go see the Timp Caves... but... according to this old bat who works there, tickets sell out at 11:30... she couldn't believe we didn't know that.. bah. SO... we decided to go explore around the caves. Mike swore we could sneak our way in but... this midevil chick that worked there said there was no way..... so hiked back down :) PS... it was like a billion degrees outside....

Preeeeetty.

 Sunburned. 

 Mike?...

UPCOMING EVENTS...

1. Family coming up to Utah to visit :)

2. Dark Knight Rises (not for me... for Daniel... and yes... we already have tickets.)

3. Lake trip to Idaho! 

stay tuned... =D

Anotha day, anotha dollah!

Wonderful wonderful day, today! Probably had one of the most productive days in a long time (it's been that time of the month so... obviously I've just wanted to crawl in a dark hole, watch "PS I Love You" 20 times, cry, each chocolate and sleep whilst taking Advil every 4 hours on the dot! HAH!) This explains exactly how I've felt:

(Harry Potter humor will never ever get old!)

ANYWAYSSSSSS....back to a productive day story. So, Because I work downtown I have to leave at exactly 7AM to be there by 8AM due to the morning traffic (which i LOVE btw....*cough* sarcasm *cough*) and well... I was having one of those nights (as explain above) last night and silly Alicia forgot to set an alarm *D'OH!* and anyways... Danny Boy rolls over and screams in my ear (probably not really... this is just how I remembered it) and says "CRAP! IT'S 7AM!" and I opened my eyes and said out loud "screw it... I don't even care today" (I'm sure we've all had those days...")

well.... I took a shower.. got ready at a normal pace and... somehow, someway.. left the house at 7:30 and got to work at appox. 7:59... DON'T EVEN ASK MY HOW I DID IT B/C I DON'T EVEN KNOW! 

So... had a great day at work.. no more crampies (ish..) and so usually my commute home takes an hour. Well... I left work at exactly 3:59 instead of 4PM (I don't succumb to the "man") and I again.. somehow, someway... got home at 4:28 instead of 5:08... again.. don't ask my how I did it. maybe my car flew home without me knowing... I don't exactly know. 

Then... I went to the gym, went grocery shopping, did some laundry , made a tasty dinner, cleaned both bathrooms (like mommy cleaned... not Alicia cleaned), and have had time to Facebook, pinterest it, and write this whole blog.... and its only 9.. which means I will get a decent night sleep.

I must say... this is an act of God haha. But seriously... totes have a testimony of praying, tithing, scripture reading... If I didn't do these things, days like this would so not happen to me! Granted... I could TOTALLY get better at praying and scripture reading, but the Lord knows I'm trying my best right? :) Love the Gospel. Love my hubby. and love life! 

Now... Hi ho, hi ho, it's off to bed i go! 

New Journey in DRAPER, UT!

OKAY! SSSSOOOO..... haven't posted in over a month! Now i REALLY feel like this is my journal ("I'm going to write on my blog every week!.....") haha So, to sorta catch up on things:

1. We finished our moved to Draper in the third week of April. 

My awesome mom came and helped us move! She seriously took the stress away and I mean come on... my mom is like the best decorator and arranger of furniture the universe has ever seen! We got the whole move done in about 3 hours! SCORE! (thanks to everyone that came and helped :) YOU GUYS ROCK!!!) 

2. Cafe Zupas. 

Zupas (my place of employment) has been an adventure all in its own! I started in February and did my line training in the South Jordan location. From there I transferred to the West Valley location and did my Catering training (congrats to my trainer Aliska who got married last week :) ). and then from there I transferred to the Jordan Landing location and got my own store!!!!!! and i LOVED it! but then the universe decided to make me miserable and transfer me to the Downtown SLC location. Now let me explain this..... So, I ended up doing pretty well at Jordan Landing (broke a catering store record) and so they decided to transfer me Downtown so I could do the same... I do have to say that I am very grateful for this opportunity and have loved working in a very fast paced location. I just really really miss everyone I worked with at Jordan Landing. and as you can see from transferring almost every 3 weeks due to training, it has been really tough to get comfortable and in a set routine in life because of it. and, I know that every job has its negative aspects and I have been trying really hard the past 3 weeks to be very positive but sometimes... a person can only take so much stress lol. For now, I am staying at Cafe Zupas, because i REALLY LOVE my JOB! Job meaning... the catering part! And if anything.... Zupas has made me realize what I want to major in and a career i want to pursue! 

Caitlin, Sarah and myself with our Catering Cup! =D

4. "New school, new babe pool" 

"WHOA WHOA! I GOTTA GO.. BACK TO SCHOOOOOOOOOOOL." So, Daniel and I decided to take a couple semesters off school to sort out our lives and discover exactly what we want to do with our careers! Daniel has decided to keep doing accounting. He still works at Genesis Pure as their staff accountant and still loves accounting :) He is in the process of transferring from UVU to SLCC (the community college here in Salt Lake). Now that we have moved from Utah Country, this school just fits better with his work schedule and it's closer! AAANNNDDDD its a great way for him to get his GPA up before he transfers to the U of U in a couple of semesters! 

As for me... I have decided on a major once and for all!! I will be starting at LDSBC in the fall and will be studying Business and Marketing!! SO excited and I'm looking foreword to studying the gospel while at school! I actually (for once) can't wait to start school up! :) and either can Daniel!

4. New ride :) 

So, Daniel and I sold my other car and bought a new beauty. We bought the new Hyundai Elantra! I love it so so much! And now that I've been driving to Downtown Salt Lake, it's helped to have a car with great gas mileage! 

Everyone meet, Katy Perry :)
