Hello!

Hey everyone! I decided that I needed to join the bloggers world in order to keep up with everyone.

I guess I'll start out with the low-down about Jason and I. First, we met while working together at Discover Card. We were on the same team and hit it off really quick. We thought we were being sneaky by making up stories that Jason was dating a "friend" of mine, but apparently people read right through it because seven months later when I came to work with a ring and told them I was engaged to Jason most just said, "I knew it!" However, there were some people that were shocked. We were then married in the Salt Lake Temple on October 20, 2006.

We bought a condo out in Eagle Mountain and have dealt with the long commute to anywhere we want to go. It really isn't that bad but it sure has made a dent in our wallets with all the gas we have to buy. Jason still works at Discover Card as a Customer Service Trainer and enjoys the perks and benefits of being on salary. I actually quit Discover Card (after three years) in July, 2006 and got a job with Skywest airlines as a gate agent. After three months of dealing with angry passengers I decided to transfer to a job more behind the scenes. So I now work in the Commisary/Provisions department which stocks the airplane with the snacks, drinks and other items the flight attendant requests. It is the most laid back job ever and I love it. I mostly sit in a truck or the break room all day chattin' with my friends while waiting for the airplanes in my zone to come in. Then it only takes all about ten minutes at most to commo the plane and BAM, I'm done. It is definately a great job to have especially because we get to fly for FREE!!! YES FREE! On Skywest flights as well as ANYWHERE DELTA flies :) I decided that I needed to go down the same path that my mom did and work somewhere that benefits me and Jas!

In our first year of marriage we were lucky enough to travel to quite a few places. Our first vacation together as a married couple was to Kona, Hawaii! Jason was so sweet and suprised with a ten day vacation to Hawaii for my Christmas present. It was my first time to Hawaii and it was a blast. I am a little freaked out when it comes to snorkeling, but none-the-less we had an amazing time. Later, we went to Kentucky to visit Jason's grandparents and it is so green and pretty there. I was ready to pack my bags and move there. For our first anniversary, we were planning to go to the Florida Keys, however, once we landed in Orlando we found out that the weather was not going to be so great so we stayed in Orlando and went to Sea World as well as Busch Gardens. It was really fun. We also like to take little road trips, so we also drove down to Moab, Utah to hike around on the rocks. While I was in training at Skywest, Jason was already taking advantage of the flight benefits and went to Alaska for a week to visit his mission companion and have fun in the wilderness. He also flew to San Francisco with his brothers to watch the first 49'ers game of the season.

On a more serious topic, I found out that I needed to have heart surgery last year. To explain, my heart would all of the sudden start to beat really really fast as if I just ran five miles and it would make me really light headed, almost to the point of passing out. The "episodes" if you will would only last about five minutes, wich would only occur once a month if that and after my heart would start beating normally again, it felt as if nothing ever happened. Well, one day it happened three times and that kind of freaked me out. So I started going to a cardiologist and had to wear a heart monitor so they could record what is going on when the "episode" happens. Needless to say, my heart got stage fright and I had to wear the monitor for three months to get two recordings. They finally decided that I had some cells in my heart that acted as a pacemaker and send signals to my heart to start beating even though it already was. The technical term for all this is Supraventricular Tachycardia. So the doctor said that I could either take a pill everyday for the rest of my life or have minor surgery to get rid of the heart palpitations. So obviously I opted for the surgery and had the surgery on December 11, 2006 at 5:00 AM! It was an outpatient surgery so I went home that night at about 7:00 PM. The recovery process was really quick, only a week and I was back at work out in the snow servicing the planes. It was great! Now everything is perfect with my heart and haven't had any more fast heartbeats that were unexpected!! HOORAY!

Well my friends, this post is entirely way to long but I just wanted to keep everyone updated since I am so horrible at making phone calls or writing letters. I guess we will see how often I actually update this blog and keep up with posting pictures and all that jazz. Until next time.....
