Here is an update. I really do mean to write on this more often but no internet at home and I am not at school as much as I use to be.

Lets see...Oh yes so I graduated on Dec. 12. Yay me! I then spent my christmas break hanging out with family and doing absolutely nothing. It was fun! School then started and I entered as a grauadte student. I have 3 classes this semester (9 credits). I have a seminar, Techniques of gorundwater, and Geophysics. I also TA the structure lab, which is the class I disliked the most...I am suppose to help the students in the lab and I have to go ask the profssor all the time, the students probobly think I am so stupid...oh well. I am not a fan of my classes at all this semester but just need to make it though to may when I can start field work, that will be fun! You know what the first week of class I was pissed that I was still in school. As I said I do not like any of my classes, I could be working, getting ready to have a baby, etc... but if I wasn't in school I would not be making as much money working in town as I do as a TA, I wouldn't have health insuranse so therefore no baby, I would be extremely board so therefore I really am suppose to be in school. Heavenly Father really does know what is best, and he is very patient...I am sure he is sick of me questioning the grad school desicion.

This is Gregs last semester as an undergrad! We are not sure what he is going to do when he graduates May 8th. He might get an internship for the summer then either go to grad school or get a job. It is very up oin the air right now. Heavenly Father will take care of us so I am not as concerned as I would be otherwise.

Cyris is the funniest, cutest puppy ever! He is huge now! In the 2 1/2 months we have had him he has gained ~25 pounds and tripled in size.
I figured he is a pretty smart puppy so he should be able to teach himself some tricks....he just chewed on the book. He is good at the tricks he knows and eager to learn new ones for treats. He is a sucker for treats. When we are eating he will sit there are randomly do his tricks in hope we will give him some of our food. It is hilarious!

This is just after a bath. He is so funny when he gets a bath. He also likes to curl up on this pillow even though he doesn't really fit.

He likes to hid under things especially when he knows he has something he shouldn't. Here he is opeing the mail for me.

We had a goldendoodle party last week. Aren't they so cute!! It is Cyris, Remi, and Roxy.

We love out little guys Cyris and I have decided (not yet comvinced Greg) that in ~2 years we are going to get another goldendoddle.

Pround Mommy of a...puppy!



So 3 weeks ago we pick up our baby....a furry goldendoodle named Cyris! At field camp there was a mastif named Cyris, he was a hoot, so in honor of Cyris the Mastif we have Cyris the goldendoodle. He is soooo cute! He is also a little monster (he loves to chew shoes). The first night we had him he cried and cried so I slept in the crate with him (Greg was threatining to sell him). The second night he was in his crate alone and we slept on the air matress next to him. He cried all night. At this point I was thinking, ah what have I done! Now everything is great. He is quite at night when he goes in his crate. He knows 3 1/2 tricks, sit, lay, shake, and roll over (kind of). He look mostly like a retriver, only his ears are curly oh and his tail....so cute! He hops around and sits in your lap. He is such a good little puppy and I love him so much!! Here are some pictures of when we first got him. He is twice this size now.

Okay so I feel me and Greg are pretty good with money. Well I have realized maybe not. In the past 3 months we have spent ~3000 dollars on things that were not part of our monthly budget. And guess what now I want to buy a dog that costs 500 dollars. How does one decided that they should not spend money? Hum.... thankfully for us we do not do the credit card thing so even though we have spent a lot of money it was all our money. Darn what to do....it all comes down to me not being patient and wanting things now. Let me review what we have spent this money on. Going out to dinner (was spoiled at field camp by not having to cook), our 2 year anniversary, a new computer (our old one died), a new wedding band for Greg, my pearl ring (my graduation, birthday, and Christmas present), and well now thinking about the dog.....ahhhh, Ali you need to help me!

2 YEARS!!!

Wow Greg and I have been married for 2 years as of Monday October 19th 2009. We were married in the Logan Temple on a beautiful fall day in 2007. The past 2 years have been so wonderful. Greg is so good to me, he is so sweet, keeps me on my toes, and loves me. I love him so much. Here are some of our wedding pictures.
For our anniversary we stayed 2 nights at the anniversary in in Logan. We stayed in Juliet's Balcony and Nefertiti's Court. It was a lot of fun!! Unfortunately Greg and I do not have a working camera hence the reason there are never pictures posted. We are getting one for Christmas though!

I was thinking of all the exciting things that have happened and all the things that are going to happen by our 3 year anniversary. Heather will have a baby (my second cousin or first cousin once removed?), I will graduate in December, Greg will graduate in May, We will welcome a new niece/nephew, See our dear friends Mikey and Whitney married, maybe have our own little one on the way, have a puppy dog, and have made a million more memories with each other, our friends, and family!

Going ons

So some good news and some bad news. Last week Greg's grandma passed away. Today my great-grandma pasted away. It was time for both of them though. They are no longer in pain. One problem, are my professors gonna believe me when I have to miss class for another funeral in a one week time span? We'll see....

Good news, cause being sad is, well sad, Greg talked to his counsler today about maybe retaking some classes to get better grades but she said he was fine, so that means he will graduate in May!!! YAYYAYYAYYAYYAYYAYYAYYAYYAY!!!!!!!!!

I should really take some pictures and post them huh?

Well I am posting again, amazing huh!! Life was crazy this week. Greg and I get to school at 7:00 and haven't left campus before 5:30 the past 3 days. Monday there was a seminar I had to go to then a geo club meeting and then I spent 5 hours in the OSL lab cleaning seives so didn't get to bed until 2 in the morning on mondaynight, well it would have been tuesday morning actually. Tuesday I had to help a girl in my lab make up a lab and then stay and fix my quantitative assingment. Wedsnaday I had to set up a booth for geo club and then make the lab exam for my lab class. With all of this I did not have time to figure out how to do my GIS lab so I turned it in incomplete!! I have never turned something in incomplete in college, it feels awful!! I am hoping to do the last part of it for a 10% deduction. Ah I feels stupid for not completeing my lab!! THis weekend and next week are going to be just as busy but maybe I will find time to make up the lab.

Look I am posting something after 2 months!! Okay so summer has ended. After I got back from field camp Greg and I just spent the rest of the summer working. I could not wait for school to start, it was a long and boring 2 months. Now that school is started my days are booked from 7 am to 10pm and that is why I haven't updated. Life is busy but good. I have 19 credits this semester, have a senior thesis to write, 3 lab sections to teach, a club to be president of, and a house to clean. I have a lot to do! WOW! Greg is busy with 14 credits and a luner landing project he is working on for NASA with his design class. He had a lot of scary homework and is up late trying to do it all. I love my man, he works so hard but still has time to be with me and make me feel special!

We had to buy a new computer on Saturday cause ours went kaput. I will post the pics we took at the zoo this summer and some of my field work so that my blog is actually exciting!
