Dallas and I flew back to Connecticut at the end of August for our Almost Married Reception.  Dal's brother Riley and his girlfriend (also one of my bridesmaids) also came along!! It was awesome to be taking them on their first plane ride!! We had an AMAZING TIME at our party! And we are pretty sure everyone else did as well. We can not thank our family and friends enough... especially my parents. They do so much for Dallas and I and we truly appreciate it!!!!!!! We love you mom and dad!!! Thank you thank you thank you!!!! We can not wait for Turks and Caicos and can not wait to see everyone there!!!!!!!!!! Here are just a few pictures that we taken by our amazing photographer www.ericfoleyphotography.com

As soon as we get a link to the rest of them we will post it!!! Thanks again!! Love to all!!

Summer Fun!

Dallas and I have been working a ton. So typically we never have days off together! BUt I started a new shift this week, a full time, 40 hours per week wednesday through saturday 12pm-10pm! And that works out because Dallas has sunday and monday off as well! I was working a ton of hours and sort of had a cooky schedule. So hopefully this will all work out!

Back at the end of June Dallas and I went to widowmaker aka the motorcycle hill climb with some friends and dallas' brother riley! We have a ton of fun there! It is such a blast! We also had a house full for dal's brother Riley's birthday over the weekend of July 10th. We hit up the water park and had a barbeque and also got the UFC fights to watch that night! All in all I can not believe it is August but I am also very excited we are going home in about 3 weeks and can not wait to see everyone and can not wait for our almost married reception! It is going to be a blast!!!!!

Also Scentsy convention is next week and I can barely contain my excitement!!! Im nervous but excited to see all the new products!! everything is 10% off this month and there are a ton of your favorite items that are discontinued, check out my website, www.scentsy.com/meagt to stock up on your favorites before they go!

What's new.

I have not posted in about a month. A few things have gone on since then!!

I had to fly home unexpectedly on Wednesday May 20th. One of my best friends Rob passed away on Monday May 18th. It was tragic and sudden. You never think its going to be your friend and then it happens and all you can do is sit there and wonder what we could have done to take it back. It was great to go home and see all my friends.. I mean all my friends. The situation sucked but it was nice to have that extra visit. It was also great to see my mom and dad. I also surprised my grandmother who nearly had a heart attack when she realized it was me. I actually had a couple people do triple takes not expecting to see me in CVS or at the mall. LoL. 

I have been busy PLANNING PLANNING PLANNING  our wedding. I can not get enough of it! I do not want it to end. Which is leading me to thinking about becoming a party planner. Everyone says I should do it, its right up my alley and something I truly love! (I love xray too)

Dallas and I have been spending our mid morning/afternoons together swimming laps in the pool and getting a great tan! We enjoy working out together and pushing each other to strive for what we want. We also have been heading to the track every weekend for dal to get some riding time in on his new dirt bike... he will be famous soon... hehe!

Hagen UPDATE! Hagen was able to go home after 3 weeks in the hospital which is almost record breaking for being born with your intestines on the outside. His cord fell off on Saturday! and he man made belly button looks great. We were able to visit with Giles, Toni, and baby Hagen this past Sunday and Monday. We took Hagen to the pool.. which he HATED. As soon as toni dipped his little toes, he started screaming!!!!!! He does have the funniest cry ever. It is pretty cute, he snorts! It is too cute. But its not because he is blocked up which is funny, its like he is doing it himself. Also he has such a funny quiver lip. You can not help but laugh and love it! But also want to hug and kiss him all over!!

no worries. Lovin' my little bugger!

tummy time/nap time with aunty meag @ the pool.

Uncle Dallas being AMAZING with Hagen!

Thats it for now. Love to all! xoxo! See you soon!

HAGEN UPDATE!

Update: Hagen is having his surgery today @ Primary Children's Medical Hospital. To get rid of the obstruction in the bowel, make him a belly button, and then close him up. This is quicker than they thought and quicker than most babies! We just cant wait to hold and cuddle him.

Ill post an update later!

Hagen Joseph Olsen

My nephew and godson was born Thursday April 30th @ 8:18am weighing in at 5 pounds 2 ounces, 17.5 inches long! He is the cutest little thing! Dallas and I are very excited to be godparents! He was born with gastroschisis.. where his little bowel is on the outside. You can see it hanging in the wrapped gauze in the bottom picture. They hang in to get it to fall back into the body. We found out today he will be having his surgery monday. So things are moving VERY quickly. They also were able to take him off his oxygen. We cant wait to hold him!!! And get some kiddie candid photos done!!!! 

SuperCross. 4.23.09

Last saturday Dallas, his brother Riley, his girlfriend Sarah, and I ventured out in the cold and rain to see motor cross and we had a blast! Here are some pics!!!!

Dream come true.

Well after 4 years of Dallas talking about wanting a dirtbike, I finally said its time lets go get you one! He patiently waited but I knew he wanted one for soo long and he deserves it. Watching his excitement made me feel truly happy inside. He had a moment of panic with the price but we ended up getting an offer we couldnt pass up and he was able to get all the gear, which is the only way he is allowed to ride. I see what people look like when they dont have the gear on and get in an accident and that is just something I wouldnt be able to handle. So we made some rules and he got his dream! Next up my four wheeler! Ha so here are some pictures!

Besides that we are still working and I think mother nature is finally blessing us with Spring so we are enjoying that as well! Tomorrow we are headed out to Rice Eccles stadium to the Super Cross show!Talk about dirt bikes!

Also tomorrow is my uncles memorial dinner, which was suppose to be his birthday celebration but he passed away last friday evening. It still hasnt really hit me and the whole thing is just so weird to me, I feel like I cant put the pieces together. I miss my family and LOVE YOU ALL!!! See you all soon!!!!

Love to all!!!

MOved in!

Well Dallas and I are all moved into our new townhouse. And we love it. It is very grown up like and perfect for a soon to be married couple.

One of my best friend's, Andrea was here this past weekend... after a long process, airports, airplanes, and high winds in dallas... she finally made it Saturday around 1130am, we headed straight to Costa Vida her fave place to eat and then down to Cummings Chocolates for some good ole' choc. covered GRAPES.. then we headed to Fantasy bridal to find my perfect wedding dress. I told the woman exactly what I was looking for and she seemed ready to work. Lol. The first dress she pulled off the rack I couldn't believe, was nothing that I asked for but I went with it knowing this woman probably had some background in wedding dresses, people and sizes. So I tried on about 15 dresses and liked them all but LOVED two of them. My fave was the one I thought was horrid on the hanger and would have never look good on me and the runner up was one that I had found online.. anywho wouldnt you know I went with the #1 and it is gorgeously stunning!!! But totally me. Ang was very surprised we were only there for 2 and a half hours! After that we went to David's bridal which was a complete 180 from Fantasy.. it was like crazed women running around and simply chaotic. Ang tried on about 24 bridesmaids dresses in a record time of about 22 minutes! It was unbelievable! Anyways I picked out the bridesmaids dresses as well!! Then Sunday we spent in Salt Lake and taking Ang to some great places to eat. MOnday morning came and ang had to leave! BIG bummmer! But We will see her soon!

Dallas is keeping busy at FedEx and me at the University Hospital. Im going to Las Vegas the day after Easter to meet my cousin Cindy and Samantha who are flying out from CT. It will be great to visit and spend time with them!!!

OK thats all for now!!! Love to all!

PACK IT UP... MOVE IT OUT...

So I havent posted in a while but Dallas and I are moving, so its been hectic around here. I work Fri-Mon and then have Tues-Thurs off, complete opposite schedule from Dal, of course! So its been hard trying to pack everything together. 

Anyways the house is in shambles but I made great progress today. I'm cleaning and putting EVERYTHING that can go in the laundry into the laundry! When you move it is a great time to clean and wash everything. Its a new place and I want everything to be nice, so here comes the anal retentiveness. Dallas and I always joke about the damn dishes, he says "I will do them in the new place" lol, I laugh. Anyways here is a picture of our shamble"ness" just part of it!

 It will get better, but its hard to go to sleep with a place looking like this!

Love to all!

The countdown!

Wedding Tickers

*Our trip back to Connecticut*

Dallas and I traveled back to Connecticut last week. My best friend Meghan got married to her high school sweetheart Ricky Markey on Friday January 9th, 2009 (also my 25th birthday!) We arrived home early tuesday morning after taking the red eye flight home. Dallas and I slept most of the day. That night my parents put together a birthday/engagement/ dallas & meagan are home party. We were able to see a lot of our family and friends. The next day the boys (d, seany, & ar bear) had no school due to an ice storm the night before so they invited Dallas over for a play date. I dropped him off and they went snowboarding down their front hill, lol.

Thursday morning Dallas and my dad woke up @5am to go skiing in Vermont... they ended up in Massachusetts, the weather was really bad in Vermont. I started off my day by heading back to St. V's for a check up for my lap band, then to Salon Odette's for my hair appointment. That night was also the rehearsal @ the church and the rehearsal dinner @ Nino's restaurant. Us girls (bridesmaids + honorary bridesmaid) slept over Meghy's that night for one last single girl sleepover. We woke up to Meghan's dad singing in the kitchen, cookng breakfast, and her mom freaking out! Looking back I can not believe how quickly everything went by. Too quickly... but we had soo much fun! The wedding was beautiful and it was so much great to spend the entire day with all of my bestests! We had a great trip!! But wish we had more time to see more family and friends. I was able to spend some extra time with my parents all day Sunday! Here are some pictures. Love to all! Miss you all!!!

My girls. I love you!

My fiance & I. Love him!
