Memories, boxes, tears, excitment!





We are moving!! Its been in the works for quite some time now but we finally found a great place to move to. We are moving to Saratoga Springs (I'm sure you are wondering where the great comes in, LOL) but its cheap and will give me the oppurtunity to hopefully in the fall start school! Yesterday I spent much of the day going through my bedroom, old papers, pictures, clothes (I found a pair of overalls in my closet! LOL they are in the DI pile but I am having a hard time giving them away) after 3 garbage bags full of garbage and 3 for the DI I got the majority of it done. Now onto the garage oh joy!
After 3 1/2 years of amazing memories we are leaving our home in Lehi. With it brings much saddness, but much more hope for our future ahead. We have made so many wonderful friends here who I know we will take with us for the rest of our lives. Thanks to all who have made this an incredible place to live!

Easter!
Heres our easter extravaganza! We had such a wonderful time celebrating Christ with friends and family and of course enjoyin easter candy and goodies!

Kirsten is such a poser!

Good friends and sisters!
I am so incredibly blessed to be surrounded by so many amazing women in my life!! Thank you to all of you who have been there for me this past year and I couldn't have done it without you. We went to dinner to celebrate me, and help me through a hard time last month! Love you all!

The funniest videos I have seen! Enjoy :)
p.s. the first might somewhat be offensive to some? I mean it doesn't say anything bad, but leads to it? Hmm..just a thought for those who are extra sensitive ears ;)
The second is a classic to any marriage you will all love it!

More dating stories??

I"ve told most people in real life this story but thought I would share on here. This one is going to go down in the history books of dating, telling the kids and grandkids for years! LOL
Around my birthday life was really crazy hectic, I had gone to california for a last minute interview, was working for 5 days straight, lots of stuff going on. I had planned a date about a week and a half ahead because that was my next available time. Well between that time and the time of the date I totally forgot about the date first of all, and second that I was working. WE had planned to meet at Cafe Rio, my first standard date. The day came and my friend asked if I wanted to get cafe rio I said I would bring the girls for my bday and meet them there. I invited friends and my parents. We got there, it was hectic with the 4 girls, saw everyone had a nice time and left.
As I was driving home I get a call from the guy I made the date with, we will call him bob. And that instant I remembered I had set the date for that time, at that exact same cafe rio!!! As I answered the phone I said "hi bob, I was at cafe rio where were you?" now I know technically I was there but I should have told the truth so lets be gentle on Maren for playin this off, I had the best of intentions alrighty? he said "I was there but didn't see you, I saw someone who looked like you but they were with a group of people" I said "I brought the girls I nanny cause I forgot I was working but didn't see you". He told me he thought I looked at him at smiled. I remember seeing a guy, sitting in the corner at a table all by himself, I passed him thinking...are you ready for this??? "that poor guy must be waiting for someone" HE WAS WAITING FOR ME!!! I did smile at him, but it never clicked not once til he called me.
I did give him another date and it didn't work, but boy what a great story!
