Seriously, So Blessed!

After going through so much the last few months, I feel like I've finally caught a break. I started the best job ever today! Sooo excited about it! I'm feeling extremely blessed. Not only am I in a great job that I LOVE, but I'm at a great family oriented company, and I get to work with one of my bestest friends! Thanks to her, I get to work in the accounting department at Omniture. For those of you who don't know, my major in school is accounting, so this job is a wonderful "foot-in-the-door" opportunity, and I'm so grateful that I've been able to receive this blessing.

What's In A Name?

I know I haven't posted in a while. I'm sorry. I just haven't had anything to report about! Hopefully that will change soon. Finals are coming and a new semester! Plus, I have a feeling I'm going to get a calling soon... I just feel it. Anywho, I found this on someone elses blog and I thought it was funny. So, enjoy!

Carolyn Chase Muhlestein

On Tuesday, February 17, 2009, Chris’ sweet mother passed away. She was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s Disease when Chris was only 10 years old. Carolyn fought this debilitating disease with courage and strength. I greatly admire her determination, her compassion, and her beautiful spirit.

While we know that she’s no longer here with us in body, she will always be with us in spirit. Finally, she is no longer suffering. We are so grateful for the knowledge of eternal families. We know we will be with her again.

Mom,

We are so happy for you. Thank you for being a constant reminder of strength and courage. Thank you for paving the way for our family. We love you so much.

Love,

Chris & Stephanie

Locks-Of-Love

I have been wanting to get my hair cut for a very long time. I just haven't had the time to do it. I've been growing my hair out forever so I could donate it to Locks-Of-Love. If you're not familiar with that organization, it's the best! They take donated hair and turn it into wigs for children with cancer! How amazing is that?! Anyway, I've got some before and after pics from my adventure today!



All in all, I do believe we chopped a good 12 inches off. So exciting! I'm so excited to have cute shorter hair again!

A Belated Birthday Dinner

I know Chris' birthday was forever ago, but we wanted to post a few pictures from his recent birthday dinner. We had to celebrate it a little late because of school schedules. However, we still wanted to share!
My birthday boy! Showing off a few of his presents. (sweatshirt, watch)

Chris and I at dinner! Yay for La Dolce Vida. Sooo good!

Dad D. eatin some yummy food!

Mom D. and Tara. Poor Tara didn't feel well.

The freakin ridiculously good chocolate mouse pie. Oh heavenly!

Happy birthday, again Chris! We love you lots!

Finally!

The semester is finally over! I'm so excited I can hardly stand myself! This has been one tough term. Through it all, Chris and I managed to stick together, lean on one another, and use each other for support to get it done.

This semester, Chris took 2 classes, and I took 4. Not to brag or anything, but I'm going to! We've had a really tough time lately with a crud load of junk going on, but we've managed to put education first. Our final grades are as follows:

Chris

• Office Essentials----------A
• Marketing------------------A

Stephanie

• Office Essentials----------A
• Advanced Computers----A
• Finance---------------------A
• Intro To Business---------A

I would like to say how proud I am of Chris! He's had some crazy health problems going on lately, (1 ER visit, 3 hospital procedures, 2 specialists, and a surgery) and still managed to get straight A's! Sooo proud! I love him oodles!

Thankfully, we get a nice break from the daily grind with this 3 day weekend coming up. Totally could use it!

Twenty-Two Years and Counting

Happy Birthday Babe!
