marianne's life

life update

2011-12-17T00:13:00.000-08:00

well marriage is going good. next week we will be celebrating our first wedding anniversary. i cant believe it has been that long, it has gone by fast. i am still working like crazy as usual. i am in need of a break that is for sure. Reggie just started a new job this week. so far it is going well so hopefully he will like it. i am super proud of him, he is now a college graduate. he turned his last paper in on Thursday and is excited to be done. due to cut backs the university does not do a graduation at the end of fall semester, so he will not be walking. he has the option of walking in may but we are hoping that he will have started basic training by then. life plans for us now are to work until he enlists in the spring and see where life takes us from there.

happy holidays to you all

2011-05-13T22:01:00.000-07:00

happy birthday to the husband. the big 24:)

a major change in life.

2010-12-23T19:44:00.000-08:00

ok so yes i know it has been way to long sense my last post but the life just has not stopped.

so catch up to a lot of things. in may i moved out of my apt:( way sad to leave all my roommates. i moved in with my sister Rachel, cause she is awesome. thanks for letting me stay there longer then planned. kept working and doing special Olympics. you know me always busy. well then in June at a fhe activity, miniature golfing, i met a man:)

he would be the one in the black sweatshirt

well we kinda of hit it off, and pretty fast too. we started dating and getting to know each other over the next month.

us on a date at the hill air force museum

he had to march with the air force in a parade, so i went to watch with some of rachel's kids. unfortunately by the time we got to the spot he had just passed.

reggie is from back east so i felt like he needed to experience Utah's red neck and country ways. so we went to a truck pull and to the demolition derby. lets just say they were new experiences for him. so much fun

i decided to take him on a date. so we first went to the park to go to the batting cages but they were not working. way sad:( so we had a picnic and watched a show on my lap top. we then went to the little local zoo in logan. and then out for frozen ice cream. lets just say i know haw to plan a date.

so anyway we dated and such and then on july 7th 2010 he took me miniature golfing to the same place we met and asked me to marry him. i said yes of course and he gave me a gorgeous ring, (i picked it out so he did great):)

sorry not the best picture. kept running into a glare every time.

we were waiting until december to get married so we had lots of time to plan. we did our engagement picture the beginning of sep. thanks to his aunt for doing a wonderful job.

just some random ones. she did a lot of great ones and the invitations looked great. thanks to my friend Jaimie for designing them.

on dec. 18th i went through the temple. one of the most spiritual events in my life. i was very happy to have my family and his there to support me. thank you for all those that could make it.

on dec. 21st 2010 we were married in the salt lake temple for time and all eternity. it was a great day. i have never been so happy and i am so excited to start our life together.

well sense i was a part of the main event i did not get any pictures on my camera, so when i get copies from others i will post them so you can see the great events of the day. thank you for all those that supported reggie and i in our marriage and for those that helped make the day go great.

well that is whats new with me.

snow boarding

2010-02-05T22:10:00.000-08:00

so marianne finally learned how to snow board. we had a ward sky night and though in the past i have just hung out at the lodge i decided this year i would learn how to snow board. so erica, kody, and dan all tried to teach me. it was way fun, but i think i enjoyed the crashing and falling the best. the funniest thing was when i tried to get off the lift. i was on it by myself and did not know how to get off so after i missed the spot where you are supposed to get off i just jumped. i landed in like three feet of snow and we all had a really good laugh about it. i did make it down the mountain once, it took me a very long time, and i crashed many times along the way. i only went down once because by the end my back and knee were hurting me so bad, plus i had not eaten in like eight hours and i could feel my body starting to react to the low sugar. dan sense then has invited me to go with him, but i declined i think it will be a while before i tackel the mountains again.

well thats life

RECALL

k so lets play catch up on marianne's life shall we. it has been a fun couple of weeks that included christmas and new years. a few weeks before christmas a small group of us went to bear lake for the weekend. we had a blast while there even though we experienced some plumbing problems our first night. the bathroom on the main level flooded and went through the floor boards into the basement. it was a mess but very funny with all the clean up and one am phone calls to erica's parents. we then had fun 4 wheeling in the snow and jumping into the frozen bear lake. all in all it was a fun weekend away from life.

christmas was good, i went home for the family party the week before because i had to work all of christmas. it was nice to see everyone and enjoy the family. i spent christmas eve night at my roommate rachael's house. her parents were so sweet and did a stocking and santa for me . after work christmas day the folks came up with the little kids to do christmas with me. we had dinner at rachel's house with her family and it was a great day. i very much loved the crock pot i got for christmas and cooked a very yummy roast in it that all very much enjoyed. i also got the harry potter books and am now almost done with reading them all finally.

so we decided to have a new years eve party at our house so that we all did not have to go anywhere else. my friend taylor was not supper happy about it sense he was already having one that we were all invited to, but he knew we through better parties so they all just came over to our house. i made a ton of food for it and people sat around and talked for the first little bit. we then got the music going and as usual we had a dance party that was way fun. we had all in all around forty people show up through out the night. we then watched a movie to quiet things down, and people finally left at 4:30am.

well life is back to normal now that the break is done. working both jobs still and lovin it. speacial olympics just started back up so that should be fun as well. so thats the round up of my life hope ya all are doing great.

love and such

marianne

p.s. here are some pictures of all the fun that was had.

winter has arrived

2009-12-10T16:31:00.000-08:00

so this past weekend me and erica went to slc with dan and our friend ben. i was able to get tickets to go to the first presidency devotional. it was a fun filled sunday with dinner at the ebert's house and a quick visit to my folks house. we then met up with dan's cousing and her boyfriend for the devotional and then walked around temple square to see the lights. the devotional was great and i enjoyed the messages the first presidency shared. temple square was gorgeous but we did not walk around for long due to how cold it was and not everyone having coats. it was very nice though to have a day away from logan and to be able to enjoy slc.

so winter has finally made it to logan. we have had a few days of snow fall but the cold is what gets me. it has been under 10 degrees for about 3 days now. it is insane. to truly describe the cold i will share an experience i had with a preschooler of mine.

we were outside getting the kids on the bus when one of my preschoolers noticed that he could see his breath when he breathed. he turned to me and said "Ms. marianne don't breath it will steal it."

it was so cute that he thought the cold was stealing our breath, and it was just that cold.

well life is good and a little slow with speacial olympics on a break for now. but who can complain when they now have free time. hope everyone is enjoying the snow and christmas season.

love and all that stuff
marianne

a break from life

2009-11-20T13:06:00.001-08:00

so i am way excited for this break from life that is coming up. i was able to get work off for thanksgiving, so i can go home to the fam. i am so happy to be able to get away from the roommates and the drama of girls. i also am excited because our fall season of special olympics had finally come to an end. we officially have a break until mid jan. it will be so nice to be able to come home from work sat. mornigs and go to bed rather then practice. who knew that life could get so tiresome.

well happy thanksgiving to all in a week

fun with guns

2009-11-06T19:52:00.001-08:00

so i recently went shooting with some friends of mine and it was way fun. i wish i had pictures but there was no camera there. we got to the spot late and so we shot by the light of all the cars. we had some pumpkins and we wanted to see how trashed we could get them. we had a pistol, a shot gun 12 gage, and a 30 30 i think it is called i am not sure. i shot the pistol for the main part and hit the pimpkins alot. it was way fun. then a friend of mine asked if i wanted to shoot the shot gun which i have done before but this one had some different shells in it that have 12 beebes in it agian can't think of what they are called. it had such a strong kick back that i almost fell back. so then another friend of mine had some beer bottels that we shot. no there was no drinking envolved. i was the only one to hit the bottel on the first shot. not even the guys could so yes all bragging rights are mine. well it was a fun night full of guns and exploding pumpkins.

thats life

summers end

2009-09-19T04:02:00.000-07:00

so sense the summer is coming to an end i thought i would share with you all the fun that went on here in logan.

so for starter a bunch of us decided to go down to slc for the temple open house. it was way fun and a very spiritual expereience. the ride down was a blast especially because i had not slept in 24 hours.

the roommates with our little brother

all of us that went down, one big happy family someone said.

so we decided to go to lagoon one day and some of us spent way to much fun in the sun and got seriously burnt. we were so tired at the end of the night we decided to take a rest in the sit and smoke station. that was until we got kicked out for someone that wanted to use it for its real purpose.

so our little brother cole just left on his mission. we went to weston idaho for his farewell and met all his family. it was way fun to see him grow up and get ready to serve the lord. cole has been gone fore almost a month now and we love hearing from him and love the replacement little brother he left us.

playing on the swings

we had a freedom party for lauren on the day that would have been her year wedding aniversary. we ended up dressing up like crazy people and had a dance party. it was a good day for her

me and rachael being crazy

so we all went and had a bon fire for fhe one night. there was this cute bench so we decided to take pictures. it was fun seeing how many people we could fit on it.

we went to a demolition durby one night and the sun was so bright we all had to wear our glasses. it was a way fun night and we loved watching all the cars get beat to death

so we went shooting in the mountains one day and had a blast. not everyone would shoot because they were scared but i loved it. we then went four wheeling in kodie's new suv.

well there is the summer in a nut shell. i whole lot more happened like getting new roommates, having erica move in, and painting my house and redecorating it. yes it has been a great summer and i hope the fall will be just as good.

labor day fun

2009-09-11T01:29:00.000-07:00

so labor day was way fun. me and erica went with some friends up to bearlake. we went to her familys cabin and went four wheeling and got lost a couple of times. we also had a bbq and played games and such. it was way fun and totally something i needed. it has been way fun having erica up here and she has decided to just move into my apt with me and my roommates. i think it will be way fun and a new experience for her.

2009-07-10T23:34:00.000-07:00

so i have had such a fun week it has been crazy. i have bacome friends with the boys next door who are from texas and we have spent almost every night hanging out with them. so first i decided i wanted to start cooking sunday dinners for my roommates and then we decided to invite others and now it is what we do every sunday. monday was my birthday and it was a full day. i had to work in the morning and my boss was so sweet she gave me a purse for my birthday. i then went to bear lake with a buch of friends and just played in the water. we were going to meet up with the boys to go boating but it did not work out. so then another group of friends took me to dinner. after words i went home and my roommates and others threw me a party. it was way fun with loud music and dancing. good news though there were no cops called to my house. they did end up at the boys house though because they flipped their car on the way home from bear lake. so that was monday, tuesday we went to dinner and then hung out at my house doing stunts onto our love sac. after words we went to campus and went exploring in the under ground tunnels. it was way fun and we were all glad that we did not get caught though there were times we thought we would. on wed. we all went country dancing which my roommates have been truing to get me to do for a year now. it ended up being pretty fun and i will probablly continue going. we then watched a movie as well as on thurs. today the boys who car got totalled bought a used car and we took it up the canyon and went shooting. it was way fun sense i have not been sense my senior year of high school. we then took his car off roading to see how far we could push it its is a jeep of sorts so we took it pretty far. now tommorrow we are going cliff jumping and more. it has been crazy fun and many late nights of going to bed around three or later but o well. i will have to post pictures of all the fun.

well that is my life not as boring as it once was.

2009-06-27T22:43:00.000-07:00

so funny story

my roommates and i had a party for a friend of ours birthday. it eneded up turning into a dance party tha twas way fun because i have a great speaker system. so we were loud and having fun moch pittin it in my apt. i guess we ended up being a little to loud because low and behold the cops showed up at my door. a girl that was there had gotten a text from some girls in our ward saying we need to turn the music down and i jokingly said to my friend that if they have a problem they should call the cops. she never told the girls that but a few min. later they showed up. when they got there we had already stopped dancing and i was changing the music to more mellow stuff. our door was open and the cops knocked. we never answer the door and just yell to come in which i did. we were all shocked to see who it was. it was way funny though because the cops were histarical. one saw the cake on the table and was like ooo cake. the other saw our food shelves and said you guys sure have alot of food storage. we did not get in trouble though because we were not doing anything illegal. but my friends do think that i am a pro wit hthe cops though because i just waltzed right up to them no fear and chatted with them. but all in all it was way funny for a cop metting at mindnight i mean who calls them that early.

well thats the fun with me

2009-06-15T14:29:00.000-07:00

so i oficially got my car all taken care of. it was one of the worst two week process of events i've had to go through. so kyran and chad got the muffeler and such going and then i went to have my windshield done. a process that usually takes 30 min. took five hours. it was rediuculus. i then had to go have my brakes checked to see why the did not pass inspection and the people could not find anything physically wrong with my brakes. they took them apart, stripped them and teseted them themselves and everything was just fine. lucky me though they did not charge me for any of this. so then i ordered a cover for my front pasanger blinker just to find out when i go to put it on they ordered the wrong side. so today i had my friend scott come with me to order the new part, try and get my car to pass inspection any way, hope that i can get my car regestered with out ammisions and then pay my ticket hoping that it is only a couple of hundred rather then the $1000 it usually is. it was good scott came with me because i knew i would brake down if things went bad, but it all turned out great. my car passed just fine because i went to a different shop then the first time. they did not even ask about the light cover. i did not have to have ammisions because i switched the address to one here in logan, and then best of all my ticket was only $20. i was so happy i think the lady at the court house thought i was crazy. it turned out you only have to pay $1000 when its out of state so lucky me. well now my car is fixed and life seems so better.

funny store from a weekend of fun. a bunch of friends of mine went camping but i couln't go wich iwas way bumed about so they all came to a rodeo with me the next day. it was not the best rodeo ever but i enjoyed it because i love rodeos. so then sun. nigth they decide that we need to start a new tradition of slepping under the stars every night on the yard of one the apt buildings. so we do this last night with everyone thinking that the sprinklers had been turned off. the boys were so sure that they turned them off we did not worry about it until 4:45am we all wake up to people screaming and the sprinklers coming on. it was so funny we all grabbed our stuff and ran into one of their apt. things were all wet but the funniest was that some had brought couches and matteress to sleep on and they all got way wet. we all had a really good laugh over it and everybody went home except for me and a roommate who were to tired to walk home so we slept in the boys living room. that was also funny because some of their roommates who don't know us woke up for the day to find us on the floor and couch. they were like "who are these girls?" it was way funny.

but thats the fun in my life thus far can't wait for more summer fun in the sun, if we ever get the sun back for a full day.

2009-06-09T14:28:00.000-07:00

so my dad comented again about how i never write on my blog so here is the latest up date. i got pulled over this week. it sucked big time but i figured i did good because i avoided the police for a month. why did i get pulled over, well it was not for speeding like most might think, it was because my registration expired back in april and i don't have new tags yet. so i have spent this week get my car inspected which FAILED. ya that sucks big time too. so i have been spending a lot of money and a lot of other peoples time trying to get it fixed so i can take care of this ticket by monday. lets just pray that it is not that expensive of a ticket because i don't think my pocket book can take muck more. but i guess this is waht you get for having an old car and not doing things on time.

well the rest of my life is going good. i have a brake from preschool which so far i haven't noticed bacause i have been working more hours at the other job. i am trying to paln a fun vacation but the destination is undecided so if you know of any fun places for a trip by yourself let me know. well thats my life boring and busy like always.

2009-05-31T04:22:00.000-07:00

hey so i realize it has been a long time sense i have writted but life has been crazy. i have been working so much that i can never to seem to catch up on sleep. i just recently moved in to my new apt. it is so nice and it is begining to seem like a real house. i also just got back from a three day special olympic state games down in provo. it was way fun and i am way sunburnt. i have the wickedest tan lines, there amaizing. the teams did so well, both our soccer teams took gold and so did a lot of our track and field and cycilists throught out the week. funny story while there i was wearing a usu shirt that made fun of byu and sense we were on their campus for so long i thought it would be funny to wear. the shirt osaid on the front YBU and then on the back it said "win or loose you still live in provo....nough said." at first when i went up to the universities track team they did not notice the shirt but when one of the staff thought i was supporting the Y he looked at it for a minuet and relized thta i was making fun of them it was way funny and many otehrs enjoyed it. well i am at work and need t odo something or i will fall asleep

2009-03-05T15:41:00.000-08:00

so an update on life
i finally called the specialist regarding my back. it took around 3hrs to get through to the office just to find out that my dr office never sent the referall. also i aparently have to have a current mri as well, which they never did. so now i am meeting with a different dr then planed so that i can have a check up and a mri done. this dr works in the same office as the specialist so everything should be able to happen faster. what sucks though is there are no openings until the 20th, so i will just have to keep on going in pain after every little thing that i do. also in life i am trying to become part of the managment team for special olympics. what does this mean, well it means i will have more on my plate then just coaching but it should be alot of fun.
well thats me and my same old life.

helping to make walmart a little more white trash

2009-02-24T16:17:00.000-08:00

so i took some loratab and other meds last night for my back after having been working 8 hrs and taking a 4hr cpr class. i was stupid and had not eaten in a couple of hours and did not go to sleep right after. instead i went to look at a potential apt for the summer with a roommate, and then to walmart afterwords. i loved t he apt but i don't know if we will be able to get it. so while there i started to feel sick and get light headed. i knew i would not be able to handel it for long but we went to walmart anyway. while there looking at home decor stuff i got really light headed and felt like i was going to be sick so i layed down on the floor. apparently a lot of employes saw me and just stood there waiting to be asked for help in some emergency. my roommate was embaresed so i got up and made my way to the bathroom where i threw up. of all places walmart is definently not the place i want to ever get sick at againg because the bathrooms or nasty and i would not want to use them knowing that some one had just thrown up in them. but at least i could help to keep the sterotype going.

life is going good other then still being sick from the drugs. i sucked it up and worked an 15 hr work day even though i definently could have used some tlc and sleep. i just recieved a knew calling in my ward. i am now part of enrichment. which works out well because i have been trying to convince my roommates ,who pretty much consist of the rs presidency, to have a super saturday. and know they are and after my first meeting on sunday i have pretty much told them what is what and have aparently been marked as the crafy one and am now in charge of two of the crafts. but o well it will give me something to do. also in life i found out a couple of weeks ago that one of my good friends is getting married and that i am the only one that knows besideds her parents. i am way excited for her and know we are going to vegas before she gets married and i get to throw her a shower so if anyone has any good ideas for games at a bridal shower they would be helpful. well thats me having fun and such

marianne

2009-02-17T14:31:00.000-08:00

so happy valentines day to all. i had a pretty fun day on sat. i worked a grave and then came home in the morning and helped my roommates heartattack their boyfriends rooms. arn't i so nice. we then did a breakfast for my roommates birthday that day. that night my single friends and i went and saw the movie He's Just not that into you. it was such a funny show and had women down to a tee. we then went out to dinner and again people got to experience the loudness that is me and my friends. while we were there, there was this couple who got engaged. who proposes to someone at chillies. i thought it was a little weird but ok. so that was my fun.

my break from preschool is over. we started back today and it was insane. our kids with special needs did fine but our tuition kids caused all sorts of problems, and then we found out that the district has no record of any of the tuition kids paying for the year. so drama there. it is nice though to get back to my routine of little sleep and lots of work.

well as always life is boring and nothing new so o'well

2009-02-12T14:34:00.000-08:00

so i realize it has been forever sense i last posted, but nothing major is going on. i have been working like crazy and am just now getting a little time off. life with the roommates is great and we all can't decide if we are going to contiue living with eachother come summer but will see. nothing on the dating front which is ok. but so that is life with me

2008-12-30T14:52:00.000-08:00

so i got back from slc on suday after being snowed in for a couple of days. it was fun getting to se the family and haveing my brothers fly in to see us as well. my father became the bishop of my home ward on sunday it was fun being there for that. when i got back to logan on sunday i realized i left my keys in slc so iwas locked out of my house and my car until today. luckily i have a kind sister to let me stay with her.

so tonight my friends are having a new years eve eve party. where at thats right at my house. they found out i have a great sound system and tv and everything else so they thought they would host it there and anouther apt in my complex. not that im not excited because it should be fun but i am eary to have so many people there using my very expensive stuff, so i got work off so i can go supervise.

well that is life for me boring as usual but o well

much love and stuff and have a good new year.

2008-12-23T14:39:00.000-08:00

sol i get to go home ofr christmas this year and i am really excited. last year i had to work on both christmas eve and christmas day so the fam came up here to have christmas with me ,but im excited to go home this year.

my back problems have started to subside, and now it only hurts when i do something to agervate it. i am still debating on if i will go see the specialist in january to see what is wrong with my back or wait until the next time i can't move for two weeks. but hay at least i now have the heavy drugs so i can take them when ever i am in pain again.

well happy and merry christmas to all see you next year and such

2008-12-15T17:30:00.000-08:00

so i talked to the nurse today and she said that she was very suprised that the xrays were clean. she is sending me to an ortho hoping that they can find out what it is. she also is suprised that the drugs are not working for the pain. one of the drugs they have me on is loratab. i took it yesterday before church and my roommates had a hay day with how loopy i was. i was super hyper for like 45 min and then it made me crash so hard. it helped because i slept and that is the only time i am out of pain. so we will see what the next set of doctors say.

enjoy

2008-12-13T22:20:00.000-08:00

so here is an up date with me. i officially hate doctors. i have had serious back pain for the past two weeks and have had different tests done to see what is wrong, and who knows what the answer is. i am way angry though because i keep being told different things and they tell me this is the cause, no it might be this, no its not that, and it is driving me crazy. hopefully now that they gave me the good drugs i can at least get out of pain and maybe soon we will find the cause.

snow. i hate snow. this weekend had been horrible in both logan and slc, and it is just getting worse. they said that the storm was supposed to end on monday. well now in logan it is going to continue at least into wed. did i say i hate snow.

well thats me and my boring life talk to you later

2008-11-28T22:22:00.000-08:00

so my dad keeps asking me why i have a blog because i never post on it. so this post is for him.

thanksgiving went great ate lots of food and slept plenty. i went and saw twillight with some of my family. i liked it as a movie but was disapointed in there attempt to make it like the book. i felt it lacked in a lot of theings and they jumped around way to much. but thats what i get for reading the books first. i went shoping friday night after christmas and bought some movies with some way good deals. i was glad though that i did not have to go at six in the morning to get the deals.

o so i am not moving out after all things changed and my current place is much better. i also will not be going to school in the spring. i am super sad about that and will now have to find something else to do with all my spare time.

thats it for now so enjoy

2008-11-08T22:57:00.000-08:00

so life is crazy for me. i am still working two jobs and sleeping very little. i lvoe working in the elemetary school now. the preschoolers i have are so cute but can drive me crazy. they are all classified as developmentally delayed and they have behavior problems like crazy but i love it. bear river mental health is going good two. i am taking a break from coaching speacila olympics right now but i will pick it back up in the spring. also talking about the spring i can't wait to start back up with school come jan. hopefully i will be in my new apartment before then though. well thats life with me, aint it so fun.

marianne

2008-11-08T16:59:00.001-08:00
