A Little Bit of This A Little Bit of That

It feels like I haven't blogged in FOREVER.  Life has been so crazy lately.  It seems the older I get the less time there is in the day.  Things have been extremely busy around the Parker household.  I have been working for two different dentists four times a week and teaching Zumba three nights a week.  It has definitely been keeping me on my toes.  Tyson continues to work out every morning with his dad at 5:45 in the morning.  The have almost completed their 90 days doing P90X.  He also manages to come to my Zumba classes.... reason 4,759 why he is an amazing husband.  Our favorite thing lately is to lay on the couch, after a long day and watch One Tree Hill on DVD.  Yes, I have gotten Tyson addicted to my sad obsession.

Here are two of the great people I get to work with on a daily basis.  I have fallen in love with dentistry.  If I had done things right I would have gone to hygiene school.  The OR is definitely my favorite setting.  


After this week I will no longer be working for Dr. Malan.  This makes me sad.  I absolutely love the girls I work with.  We seriously laugh our heads off all day at work.  I am going to miss them heaps!  But I am grateful for the opportunity to get full time benefits at my other office.  I can honestly say now I enjoy going to work!


On another note, I have never been one for politics.  I have no idea what people are talking about and try to avoid heated conversations anytime I can, however, Tyson and I were invited to a breakfast with Mitt Romney last weekend.  The food was great, the backyard was gorgeous, and well Mitt is a pretty good looking old man if I say so myself.  




 (Yes I look like a creeper, but who knows maybe I can be his personal assistant once he is President!)

Don't worry the little girl has been keeping herself busy as well.  She graduated puppy school this week!  Yay!  We were so proud.  We took her to Petsmart after and got her a toy.  I fall in love with this puppy more and more every day.  


Even if she has now destroyed SIX pairs of my shoes, FOUR in one day!


We of course had to fit in the UTAH vs. BYU game.  I was the only Ute fan in the building, aka house. Oh and how good it felt to be a UTAH UTE!!!! Can you say blow out!  It was disappointing that it was not a better game, but it always feels good to come out on top. 


And last but not least I got a new car!  This has been a long time coming.  I have never had a brand new car, but this was worth the wait.  GIGI loves having lots of room and I love the smooth ride.


Even though life can be crazy it still is great.  This is my favorite time of year and look forward to the holidays and good memories to come!

Cleveland Family Meeting

Over the past 31 years Tyson's grandparents have had a family testimony meeting once a year.  This year was extra special because Grandpa Bob was able to attend.  He has Alzheimers and was unable to attend last year.  We all got together at Tyson's parents house and listened to Grandma Betty share her testimony.  She is so strong and is such a great example to all that come in contact with her.  I hope to be just like her one day.  


After the family meeting we enjoyed a delicious dinner and headed out to get our family picture taken.  


It is crazy to see the posterity that has come because of Bob and Betty.  You know the saying, "All Because Two People Fell In Love."



I love seeing the love that they share for one another.  Watching Tyson's grandparents go through the same thing that my grandparents went through is difficult.  But with the knowledge of the gospel all things are made okay.  I am so grateful for an eternal family.  


The thing that impresses me most in both my grandparents and Tyson's grandparents is that that they never forgot who their spouse was, even when they couldn't remember anyone else.  That is true love!  I know that true love can edure all things.
