Merry Christmas Everyone!

Last night, Wren and I went to see the lights with one of Wren's favorite missionary companions, Jason and his wife Andrea. It was so much fun. We love talking with them and I love Andrea, she is so cute. They are living in Spain right now, and Wren and I are pretty dead set on flying out there and staying with them in March or April. They live right on the beach and have an extra bedroom for us! Andrea said they have amazing shopping. How much freakin fun would that be????? So everyone be on the lookout for cheap flights to Spain mmmkay? After looking at the lights, we went down to this really cute coffee shop and got hot chocolate and just talked. It was the perfect night. I dressed perfect for the occasion, I layered and layered and layered, normally I would have been completely unprepared and would have froze my butt off, but nope, not me, I'm a smart lady now, thanks to my smart husband, and I think that attributed to such a warm, fun night! Anyway, it really gave us that Christmas spirit and we are SO excited for tonight and tommorrow. I can't wait to give Wren his presents! I hope everyone has a wonderful and safe holiday, I love you all! Merry Christmas People!

~Christmas Party~

So a couple of days ago, I had all of our friends over for a Christmas party. It was so much fun! I love them all so much. My amazing manager made Chili for our party, which was to die for, and everyone else brought lots of other yummy things. We had a fun gift exchange and I made a slideshow of pictures of us over the last three years. I love talking and laughing with all of them, my stomach hurts so bad from laughing by the end of the night! Even though most of them don't have blogspots (which is way annoying by the way) I still want to say how much I love all of you and I don't know what I would even do without you guys! Your the best!

Happy Holidays

So I haven't really put anything too interesting on here for awhile. I just keep forgetting to take pictures. We have had lot's of fun decorating out tree and christmas shopping these last couple weeks. We're so excited for christmas. School is finally over and I can't even tell you how happy we are! We have a whole month off and we keep saying we won't even know what to do when we get home from work??? But I know what we'll do....watch lots and lots of DVR! Ha ha I have been recording Oprah everyday and Wren seriously loves Oprah now, his excuse is that it helps us learn a lot about the world, but I know he secretly just likes her. It is the funniest thing, but I definitley am not complaining when he begs me to watch it, but sometimes....... I'm like, no Wren, we need to play xbox and watch Simpsons ;) Ha, KIDDING, I would never put myself through that. Okay well, anyway. I'm going to post some pictures below of my little sister Katelyn's birthday party. My family went ice skating down at the Galivan Center a couple of weeks ago and ate pizza. It was really fun even though it is was frickin freazing! My baby sister is getting so old, I cannot even believe it! it seems like just yeterday she was born. I babysat her, and my other sister and brother all the time. It's sad how time flies by. When we were little my dad would take us to do the funnest things everyday when he would get home from work. We would go to the pet stores, movies, ice skating, you name it we did it. We were Salt Lake Valley travelers we were! (When I was young, I used to think I would grow up and become a figure skater one day! Ha ha Tara if you read this, member we always used to go to that one ice skating place in Bountiful? Member my second birthday party and my huge Tutu my mom made me? Ha ha those were the days, and we told everyone we were twins!?) But I love these memories I have with my dad, I love him and my mom so much! Wow, anyway, so I'm going to post a family picture we just had taken, by my mom of course(if anyone needs family pictures or a wedding done, go to my mother, she's awesome!) Well I hope everyone has a happy holiday! I'll end my novel now. Love you all!
My amazing family.

Masquerade Ball!

So my little sister planned a big Masquerade Ball with her friends up at our Aunt's cabin. It was so much fun! I can't believe how many people came. She had a chocolate fountain and we ate and danced all night. It was so mcuh fun and the cabin is just amazing! I invited some of my friends up as well. Wren was being so funny, he had a little too much fun with katie's pink boa! Ha ha anyway, after the party was over about six of us slept over. We smashed in one big bed and watched what happens in vegas and Hailey tried to steal my pillow. I should have smashed my wuggle in her face, than she would have been really sorry ;) It was so much fun. Wren was the only boy, but let's face it, he knows how to have a girls night with the best of em! Anyway, it was a BALL.....literally!

I love these lovely ladies. Aren't they fancy!

Look what a pretty mask Wren has?

The Name's Simpson.....MARGE SImpson!

So last night we had a Halloween party at Dana and Mo's house. It was so fun! They made home made chili in bread bowls, and me and Wren were in charge of making homemade rootbeer(we has no idea what we were doing), plus tons of other food and goodies. It was so much fun! We had all our fun friends there. Everyone had the funniest costumes. I do have to say I think my husband's won! Oh my gosh I seriously could not look at him without laughing. He fit perfectly into persona! We had to stop at the grocey store to get the stuff for our rootbeer and there was this guy that worked there that was obsessed with him. He thought Wren was the funniest thing yet to date. Poor soul burnt his hand on the dry ice too, I'm glad we could lighten up his day! Anyway, it was such a blast. So we ate our dinner, Wren danced while his jerry curls bounced, and we watched a VERY scary movie! Ha ha, it wasn't scary at all because of all the dang boys commentary they felt the need to make. The movie was totally retarded after they had their way with it. But it was a great Halloween! It was also Mark's birthday so Michy Poo made better than sex cake and we sang happy birthday to the wise 23 year old man. Did you give him a spanking Michelle? Happy Birthday Markus! Thanks everyone, we love you!

Ladies and Gents.... Let me take a moment and introduce you to the above. Large Marge, and Vince the Python. They are very classy.

23?

So it was my 23rd birthday yesterday. I can't even believe that I am 23 cause I sure don't feel like it. Anyway, I had such a fun weekend! Wren planned a birthday party for me on Friday and invited my friends. He barbecued tons of chicken and steak. It was SO good. My husband makes a mean steak I'll tell you what ;) We just talked and ate the whole night, it was so much fun! My friends are the best, they gave me the nicest gifts. It's crazy, they know me so well. Wren was so sweet to organize the whole thing. Bless his heart he wanted it to be a surprise but he needed a little help. He is the best! On Saturday Wren took me shopping. We seriously shopped all day long which neither of us ever like to do, but what the heck it was my birthday! I was so worn out that I came home and slept for a couple hours. Wren woke me up with a cute lunch he made me. On Sunday, which was my actual birthday, we went to lunch with my mom and dad and cute little sister at the funnest place downtown called eggs in the city. It was quite a long wait, but it was super fun because we sat outside and talked and the weather was to die for! I LOVE THE FALL! Any way I had a fantastic birthday! I love you everyone!







Partying hard baby!



Bad Picture, it was so bright!

Our night out on the town~

So this last month the owner of our company for some odd reason decided to nominate me for assistant manager of the year. He was very sweet to do this. I had no idea that he had nominated me though and recieved this letter to my work that said "Savannah Withers has an appointment with the Apartment Association on..." Blah Blah Blah, but my appointment was only a couple days later. I was so confused what I had an appointment for. So anyway, I show up on the day that it is scheduled and check in at the front desk. They lead me into this room and to my horror there are, I'm not joking, like a panel of 5 people lined up at this long desk. I was so confused, and had NO IDEA what to expect. Well turns out, it was exactly like a job interview. They asked me why I should win, what are my greatest qualties....gag me now, and it was even WORSE than a job interview because there were FIVE people staring at me. Finally, when it was over I ran out of the room I'm sure beat red. Well turns out, some how I was one out of 5 nominees chosen. So Wren and I got the chance to go to this amazing dinner up at Park City at the Grand Summit Lodge and hear who won for all the different categories. Every other company had tables and tables of people there and our company (Pentalon) had FOUR people total. So I'm starting to get freaked out when everybody's name is getting called and there are hoards of people cheering for them. All I had was Wren and my two favorite people from one of our other properties, so I'm whsipering to them, "You guys have to cheer for me! It will be totally embarrassing when they read my name and it is dead silent!" Well Carmen and Alicia barely clapped (thanks for you help guys!)when my name was read, and Wren was cheering my name, but it basically sounded dead silent when my name was read. It was so funny! Well sadly enough I didn't win, I lost to a girl names Stephanie. Dang Stephanie! But it was a great night none the less! Here are some pictures......
