Anniversary Pictures!

So here's some pictures from our trip to Park City for our 1 year anniversary. :) I hope you enjoy them.

The jetted tub! Super nice!

 

I had to stand in the tub to get this shot but this is the rest of the bathroom. It was HUGE!

 

Why yes we did have a full kitchen in our hotel room. That was super nice. :)

 

And this is the living room area of our hotel room

 

Our King size bed. It was SO comfortable.

 

How many hotels have you seen that have a washer and dryer in the room?? Oh right, fancy ones. ;)

 

This is outside the hotel while waiting for valet to bring our car around.

Olympic mascots at the Olympic Park.

 

Olympic Pins! There's a ton! There was a list on the wall next to this of specific pins to find. It was fun.

We went exploring on Main Street and there's a ski lift right at the bottom of the hill. How cool is that?

One Year!

So I can't believ we've been married for a year already! It's pretty much been the greatest year of my life. :) We spent our anniversary weekend in Park City. It was AWESOME! It was so relaxing to be away from work, school, and just everything! We hung out in our hotel room, which was beautiful by the way, chilled in the hot tub, swam in the pool, wandered up and down Main Street, and went to the outlets! Cool story at the outlets. We stopped in all the outlets that struck our fancy, one of which being Abercrombie and Fitch. Now I know what you're thinking we're poor college student newly weds, we can't afford anything at A&F...we were of the same mind set, but we thought "why not..." So we went in just to look around. Immediately we saw a table full of jeans that were marked $20!!!! Yeah we were shocked! So we miraculously found some in Tyler's size. We went to checkout and the cashier rung them up....$12!!! Yeah I looked at the original price tag on the pants and it said $80! We totally got a pair of $80 jeans for $12. Talk about bargain shopping! Yeah we were totally psyched. Anyway, down side to the weekend...neither of us remembered a camera... :( BUT I took lots of pictures with my phone, so they're all on there but I will post them later. It was a wonderful weekend and I didn't want to come home and go back to work... :( but such is life. Ya do whatcha gotta do. 

School=Death!

So remember my post about how I'd be getting into Huntsman School of Business soon? Well, that might not be the case anymore. I got my grades back for this semester and according to my transcript I have a 2.66 GPA (I have bad grades I know...) and I need a 2.67 to get accepted. I'm a little bummed about it. But get this, the way USU calculates its GPA is to take the Quality Points and divide it by how many credits you've passed. I have 237.30 quality points and I've passed 89 credits. So if I do the math and round to 3 decimal places, 237.30/89=2.666. I don't know about everyone else but I learned in about 1st grade that when you round if the last number is higher than 5 then you round up. Therefore, I really DO have a 2.67. Basically I'm not getting accepted (which I don't really know for SURE but with my luck I won't) on a technicality. I'm super annoyed... I'm going to talk to an advisor tomorrow and see what I can do, and I did register for an internship class that I'm hoping I can use my job for since I'm there anyway. I'm just waiting on approval for that one. But I really don't want to get rejected just because Utah State can't round like they should! This is the second time I've had to jump through hoops for the stupid School of Business. They are not being nice to me...

I can't believe it!

As of today I've been married to the greatest man on the face of the planet for 11 months! I can't believe it's almost been a year already. Time sure does fly! :) It has been a fabulous 11 months. I couldn't have asked for better. Now we just have to get through about a week more of school and then finals and we can start on our fun summer! First thing on the list, a much needed vacation to Park City for our anniversary! I'm super excited. :) We made a list the other day of all the fun things we want to do over the summer. I hope we can do them all. If we do it's going to be a great summer!

Fabulous News!!!

So yesterday on my way home from school I got an email from the advising office saying that applications for Huntsman School of Business are due April 1st. I knew the deadline was coming up but I wasn't planning on applying yet because I don't quite meet requirements yet, I have GPA issues. They're getting better and it will be where it needs to be by the end of this semester. In the email it said that the applications aren't processed until after grades are posted for the current semester. Glimmer of light!!! I emailed my advisor right away and asked her if I should still apply since the applications aren't processed until the end of the semester and my low GPA will be higher and I have all the classes done. She said go ahead because the end of semester GPA is all they will see! HAPPY DAY!!! It makes my plan that I have worked out until graduation a million times better. The extra class I was going to take next Spring semester I can take this summer if I get accepted then I won't have to take 15 credits and I'll still graduate Fall '13! I am loving life right now! And even better, it gives me more motivation to do better! Not that I was worried about failing any of my classes. ;) The light at the end of the tunnel of school is beginning to glimmer. I'm almost done!

Valentine's Day

So this year for Valentine's Day I didn't tell Tyler not to do anything like I did last year but I didn't tell him he had to do anything either. I let him decide this time. I'll just say that he pulled through with flying colors! I had to work all day so it gave him plenty of time to get things planned after he was done with school. First thing he did for me was send me some beautiful white Calla Lillies (I don't know if I spelled that right), he knows I don't like roses. :) Then about 5 ish he dropped in the branch to say hi. He didn't stay long cuz he still had things to do. Anyway, he picked me up from work about 7 and took me home. He opened the door to our apartment and it was lined with candles, not real ones...that's a fire hazard to leave unattended, but it still got the job done. On the table in the kitchen he had two places set up with my favorite red square plates that we got for our wedding. He went to bought two champagne glasses, red candles, and some nice glass candlesticks. In front of my plate there was a little plastic fox standing on the table. This started last year with a little plastic squirrel...I see a tradition in the making. :) For dinner Tyler went and got my favorite things at Panda Express, sparkling cider, and chocolate pie for dessert. After we ate we went upstairs and on our bed he had scattered Captain America and Thor Valentine cards. It was super cute and, if you know Tyler, totally makes sense.

Don't I have the cutest, sweetest, most amazing husband of all time!? I think so. I'm glad I married him and get to spend eternity with my sweetheart! I love you Tyler Shumway! You're the best! :) :)

Special Delivery!!

Today at about 3 PM we welcomed a new addition into our home. Our new couch! :) It's wonderful, and takes up our entire living room pretty much. Totally worth it though. Here are a few pictures cuz I like to show off new things

This is the whole thing eating our living room. :) It made for a good compromise couch for us. Tyler wanted leather and I wanted micro-fiber (or something similar). As you can see this has black leather trim (for Tyler) and micro-fiber ish like cushions and pillows (for me).

Here's another angle.

Here's some detail on the cushion

Here's one of the pillows that have this cool pattern on them. Ignore the remote...probably should have moved that. Oh well.

Anyway this is our beautiful new couch. We pretty much love it!
