... And then Twilight Madness!!!

And finally after Forgotten Carols, My mom-in-law and my sis-in-laws all ran (really) to the car to meet some other friends and my friend Cheri to catch the 10:30 show of Twilight!!! I was so beyond excited, and the movie was SO GOOD!! It was a good thing we got advance tickets because the whole theater was sold out even after they opened more shows!!! It was amazing and I was so glad I brought a paper bag in case I hyperventilated at how smokin hot Edward and Bella were together!! Its a great love story and I love it! AMAZING!!! I dont know if I can wait a whole 2 days to go see it again with my mom and Callie!!! BEST MOVIE EVER...

This is one of the hundred times when I needed my paper bag.... oh the hotness! And they only kiss like twice in the whole movie!!!

Me and Cheri... basking in Edwards gloriousness..


Here is the herd, there were actually seven of us and we were all squealing and laughing and clapping and fanning ourselves through the whole thing!!! And then we had to talk about it for about an hour after it was over!!! Then we headed home and I'm sure all of our hubbys got a late night treat... I know mine did!!! (:

The Amazingness of Forgotten Carols!!!

So I pretty much had the most amazing day on Friday!!! First of all, Blake's mom bought a bunch of tickets for the family a long time ago to The Forgotten Carols, and they were front row seats! And not only was that on the agenda, but I was deprived of my Twilight midnight showing and I was going after the Forgotten Carols to go see it with Blakes mom and sisters!!! I was so excited and I thought I would never be able to pay attention to the musical because I would be thinking about my movie!!! I had never been to the Carols before or heard the music, and I have to admit I was expecting your typical dorky LDS musical ... and when Blake told me that at the end of the show everyone is supposed to stand up and sing "We can be together forever"... while linking arms... and swaying back and forth... I thought my suspicions were confirmed! But the show started, and as The inn keeper sang Let Him In, I was already bawling my eyes out at how beautiful the music was!!! Now I have seen my share of Mormicals, (mormon musicals) but the carols they sang were so strong and beautiful they brought the spirit to the entire audience, AND I actually completely forgot about Twilight during the whole thing!! Anyways I am so glad I went because it really was a beautiful experience! I HIGHLY recommend it!!!

My beautiful nieces came to the show!

And here you can see my makeup is starting to come off because I bawled my eyes out on EVERY song!!!

Giant Pancakes and Frozen Buns!!!

Well, there is one good thing about my nursing job not starting until December, I have a lot of time to blog! Hooray and hand clapping! Yeah basically I dont start with Progressive until the second week of December, so I've been occupying my time by helping Blake out around his office, hanging fliers and I work a couple nights a week at Abercrombie. So things aren't exactly how I would like them to be right now ( I was hoping to have wads of cash for x-mas!!!) But I will be patient! Or try to at least! Anywho, we love our weekend get aways as much as every other couple, but one of my favorites is going to Mccall! Last weekend we went with our good friends Caleb and Cheri. Its so awesome to drive up there this time of year because the little town is all decorated in christmas decorations! Its so cute!

Guess the lake isnt frozen yet, but that wouldn't stop Blake from wakeboarding if given the chance!!!

THe Pancake House!!! Yummo!!! They have the most GINORMOUS pancakes you ever did see!!

No snow on the ground either... but I froze my buns off sitting on this giant rock, even with my marshmellow coat. Blake said the Michelin man was looking for me!

Beautiful Sis!!!

This year I helped my Sis with going to ... Homecoming I think?? Anywho she wore orange (one of my FAV colors!) and so I helped her accessorize and did her hair! It was so much fun! Callie is seriously one of the best sisters in the world! (Literally because the other one is Madi!) And she is one of my very best friends!!! I just wanted to show her off because she is so beautiful... and because I made her look good with my hair styling and accessorizing abilities!!! and yes, she is single!

Thats right.... headband was my idea...

Happy Birthday Beakers!!!

On November 5th 2008 my husband Blake (or as his siblings call him, Beakers!) turned 24! He thinks he is so old now but he is without a doubt a kid and heart and hopefully always will be! Of course we had to celebrate with his birthday favorite, Pumpkin Pie (from Costco.. oh yeah)!!
This picture was taken a while ago but its one of my favorites! Blake I just want you to know that I am so proud of you and I love you so much! Thank you for always being my Hero, and for always building and supporting me to become a better person! Thank you for always being patient with me and for loving me for who I am! I am so glad we have spent the last year and a half as husband and wife, but I am even more grateful that you were born Nov 5, 1984 so we could meet, fall in love, and be an eternal family! And remember, I love you more! Happy birthday!

Pinning Ceremony Pics!!!

Alright I know I know I have already talked about my Pinning but I finally have pictures! Other than that nothing new here!





As you can see it was a success but couldnt have done it without my wonderful husband and LOTS and LOTS of prayers! I am just so excited that I have made this life accomplishment, and I cant wait to begin my career as a nurse and bring some good into society. Also I am so glad to have BFFs like Kim and Nikki to support me! Thanks guys!

Happy Halloween!!!

Well it was that time of year again! It sure was nice to have a Halloween that wasn't below zero! Unfortunately Blake and I were pretty boring this year and didn't dress up. ): We had a lot going on what with new jobs and a growing business, but if we were to dress up we were going to go as JD and Elliot from scrubs! Maybe next year... But it was really fun seeing everybody's costumes and seeing our neices Hadlee and Esme have their first Halloween! Here we have Skylar (skittles) as Buzz, Devon is a vamp, Kiana is Sharpay, little Hadlee is Minnie and Gabe is a skeleton!


Our beautiful little neices, they figured out how they could get candy REAL quick!
Ok I just HAD to copy this picture from Josh and Tiff.. this is one of the coolest pumpkin carvings I have ever seen!!! Anyways I am a little bummed we didnt dress up but it was so much fun hanging out with the family and help the kids eat their candy! Bwahaha!

Birthdays GALORE!!!

So anyone who is familiar with the Summer's Family knows that once Fall rolls around... there are like a zillion birthdays!!! Seriously its one right after the other... Esme, Hadlee, Hudson, Blake, and Jennifer just to name a few!!! Great way to start the Holiday season, the parties have already started! Esme's big #1 B-day!
The best part has to be the cake...

BIg #1 for Hadlee as well!!

... and even more birthdays... and more crazy kids like Lacey!

Happy Birthday Summers Clan!!!

Joke

This is a funny joke I heard from Hal Goldman--

Why do cows have such great job satisfaction?


Because they are outstanding in their field!

Our Store!!!

Well, it suddenly came to my attention that I had posted pictures of the store being built but I never showed the final results! Here is our store on eagle and fairview... its a beaut and we doing very well despite the not-so-well economy, thank heaven for those blessings!!! There was a bit of a windstorm when this was taken, kind of tore our new signs!

Our store features HD TVs, clearwire/DISH/Direct, massage chairs, shiny hardwood floors and the coveted Boise State Dish cover!

Callie gettin in to the popcorn...?

Cable is not our friend...bwahahahahahaha!!!!!!!

And of course my amazing hubby... and #1 Salesman for our store!!(:

New JOb!!!

I wouldn't exactly say I have been busy the last few weeks but I have certainly had a lot going on which means there is a lot to update on now that I have taken the time to sit down and do it... plus my camera was MIA. Blake has been very busy at the store and I have been helping out on the side. I also finally took my NCLEX and caught up on birthday parties, Halloween and housework!
I officially have chosen my job, and I chose to do Pediactrics with Progressive Nursing. They have excellent repoire in the community and since I am still childless I am really excited to work with kids. One of my best rounds of clinicals was when I helped out at a preschool for peds. Helping and working with the kids just came so natural to me and I really enjoyed it, which I credit to growing up as the oldest sibling and doing LOTS of babyitting! Anyways I will be starting Progressive in December and I am so excited to be doing a job I love with some brave and amazing kids!

Oh and remember... be nice to me, because I might be your nurse someday.

This is what you get...

This is what happens when my camera that I borrowed gets back into the owners hands...

... the wrong hands being any of my siblings. These pictures are courtesy of Callie and Madison. Scary.

Massive Updating- Lets start with Graduation pics are here!!!
