Christmas 2008!

We are to Christmas in our backwards blogging adventure. This year I spent Christmas morning with Mitch's family. I was worried I was going to feel weird intruding on their day, but it was nothing of the sorts. Mitch's mom made sure that I felt included in their family. My stocking had everything her kids' did. They also gave me too many gifts, it was a great Christmas. Mitch also gave me way too much but made sure to make it a special day and it was. Unfortunately I didn't take any pictures of either of our families for some reason. We had a good time with my family that night at our Traditional Christmas dinner with my moms side of the family. This is in front of my Christmas tree at my house Christmas night.

This was the Christmas tree at the Greaves house, I don't think you can even see all the presents.

Happy Birthday Annika Sue!

Little miss Sue has been coming to Sarah Daft since she was five weeks old. My sweet residents have watched her grow. Many of them come to the office looking for her every friday just to see her. They all ooh and ah about her cute outfits, or her new tricks she can do. These ladies truly love her, and having a baby around here has truly impacted their lives. Its like therapy, its so fun to see the ladies light up around her. My boss Marsha and I decided to throw her a Birthday Party for the residents to be able to celebrate her birthday with her. It was so cute the residents would leave one by one to their rooms coming back with various things to give to her. It was the sweetest thing. Some of her party guests.

Happy First Birthday! Those books Marsha bought those books for Annie. It was the gift from The Sarah Daft Home.

Me and my little Susan.

Uh oh mom my belly is too big for my pants.

Iceskating with the crew!

Ben had a date that he asked us to tag along with. (Ben is always on a date with a different girl I swear. It is still a mystery where he finds these girls.) Mitchell, Jason and his date, Ben and his date and I all went ice skating. It was pretty fun although ice skates kill your feet. They either dig into your ankle or they are too lose to even skate. All in all we had a good time. Here are a few pictures to share. A quality picture during mid skate!

A happy group of kids holding hands, isn't that sweet. Ha ha tacky!

My cute little brother, oh how I love him so.

Then there is crazy Ben, whom we love also.

You have to get one of these pictures everywhere you go.

Tiny Dancer?

Only Six Month's

In six months from today I get to marry this little cutie. I am so excited I can't even stand it. He is so perfect for me. We get along so well, he makes me laugh all the time, and he has helped me to become such a better person. I couldn't have asked for a better partner, best friend and future husband. We fit in so well with each others family it couldn't be better. We both grew up with a love for our families and with our siblings as our best friends. He even waterskis which is very important to my family. My dad has yet to see him waterski, but he knows that he can. I think thats why my dad likes him so much. He's a return missionary, slalom skier, and good looking what more could my dad ask for? Ha ha just kidding. I love you so much Mitchell Jon Greaves I can't wait to marry you and raise a cute little family to be best friends like we are with our siblings.

The kid in us!

Sadly enough Mitchell, myself and our friends like to buy toys for kids on a regular basis. Sometimes its just the cheesy toys at Nickelcade that we waste all our money getting tickets for, other times its buying cap guns at Macy's. We frequent the toy isle of Macy's when we run to the grocery store and this is our most recent purchase. That plastic goo you put on the end of a straw and blow bubbles with. Its smells toxic and I seriously doubt that it is safe but we are adults we will be fine. Ben decided to put nearly the whole tube of goo and blow a huge balloon. This is just my shout out to Ben Larsen.

Backwards Blogging!

I haven't put my pictures onto my work computer yet, so I decided to start from the most recent event and move backwards. I decided I have the saddest blog out there and since Mitch has recently discovered my blog and has looked at it I better start actually blogging.
The first event I will blog about is the Valentines Dance we went to the night before we got engaged. I went out looking for a dress because it was semi-formal but couldn't find anything I was willing to spend my money on. I tried on my dresses from highschool and they all still fit so I just had to choose one to wear. When we went out looking there was a dress exactly like one of my dresses that I bought nine years ago. Of course I wore that one so I would still be in style. (Since 90% of the people there at the dance graduated no more then 2 years ago).
My sister did my hair for me, which was just like old times. She always did my hair for the school dances and I must say she did and does an amazing job. I felt like I was in highschool again, we went with our friend Ben and his date. It was pretty fun to get all dressed up.
There was this really nasty couple that would sit on top of each other even though there was seats next to them. When they would dance they would feel each other up and make out. It was really awkward, not only because it was in public but because it was at the Institute. (Which doubles as a church on Sundays). Mitch and I got a kick out of them. Needless to say we had a pretty good time.

The Super Cheesy Balloon Entrance to the Dance. I love it, its classic.

We were a little bored so we took some super sweet pictures. I love it, look at Mitch's face.

Just another angle of my favorite type of pictures.

Just a little love from me to him. Look at my cute flower, you cant see it very well in very many of the pictures.

Look how stinkin cute he is.

This is Ben and his date. Isn't my little friend Ben cute? We love Ben! Isn't the Bear cheesy?
