CAUSE WE'RE CHILL LIKE THAT

Pops, Hummer and I just like to hang out. Don't get me wrong, we all love getting out of the house and doing something new or fun, but usually we choose to just hang out together in the comfort of our own home. And let's get real. Pops has a hard time wearing pants (he's a Crossley) so it's better if we allow that to only happen inside... now if I could just get him to make sure the blinds are closed before he takes off his pants.

New Year Resolution?

Actually Blog so I remember the doings of our lives!

Merci Beaucoup!

Pops and I are married. Wait, what? We weren't married already? Yeah, could have fooled me too! Anyway, as many of you know we've moved to SLC and K has started his Master's program at the University of Utah. As many of you know we love to travel! However with Pops in school full time and trying to get our new home put together we wont be able to vacation too much for the next couple years. I haven't been in the blogisphere and webisphere for the past little while due to life, but boy am I glad I decided to catch up today!

Have you ever heard of the website OHHAPPYDAY.COM? Well if not please take a gander. That sweet little mamma that runs the site is giving away a 7 day trip for 2 to PARIS! Are You Kidding Me? Included is airfare, an amazing boutique-y hotel, and a couple of those 7 days touring around with her to her fav spots! What a perfect way to take a break from a grueling Masters Degree and (ah hem) working in clothing retail during Back to School Season and Holiday Season. (I LOVE MY JOB..... after holiday there is serious regrouping time needed.)

Anyway, the contest is closing soon so if you want to get in on this biz nas I suggest you jog your little browsin' fingers right on over there and take a gander then enter to win. Good Luck to you.... No, Wait! Good Luck to Me!

Happy New Year!

This is going to be a big year for us with family stuff, school stuff, marriage stuff, etc. and we couldn't be more excited! We were happy to ring in the new year with good friends and complete strangers and I think that may be some insight into how 2011 is going to be for us. Good friends and new experiences leading us to complete strangers/strangeness.

I hope you all are as excited about the New Year as I am!

WE'RE GETTIN' HITCHED!

Most, if not all of you know the big guy n I are finally going to be 'sealing' the deal (I couldn't help it) in 2011! I have a lot of people asking me about details of the wedding and what the date is so I thought I'd just go ahead and post some of the details here.

The big day is Saturday, May 7th 2011.

We are very excited to do it then because K will be out of school, his sis, Janna will be home from her mission, and *hopefully* my brothers big family from Iowa will be able to come out!

We are getting married in the Mt. Timp Temple and having the reception at Sleepy Ridge Wedding Center. Yes, it's a golf course too so if you want to hit a few rounds before the reception, be our guests!

We are so thrilled about our approaching big day and would like to share it with all who care to come celebrate with us or just eat the food (can you say Magleby's chocolate cake?!) so if you aren't sure if you are on the invite list just let us know you'd like to join us on this day and we'll make sure you're on the list!

Crossley Reunion As Promised *wink*

The Crossley Reunion was the start of a great tradition. The idea is that if we start having family reunions now while the family is still relatively small then when the family grows and grows and grows it won't be as hard to get together because the tradition is already established. Brilliant!

There were family pictures - serious planning into matching without bringing denim into the mix, good food - Jackson only snuck (is that a word?) 10 cookies, tons of games - I think I only saw Lori trying to throw a dart at Kendall once, and of course great company - when they weren't on the cell phones or when Jackson was trying to join the other family that had more ice cream than us. :)

I know it's been a while so instead of stories that no one is interested in anymore let me just share a few pictures from the Crossley Family Reunion we had last June.

AJ and Carren
I love this one because I've been on the other end of that little girl's stare and it's always right before a huge smile!

Sweet Shirts Carren made for us to always remember the event!
Sorry L for the pic of you while you're eating. It's the only one I had that really showed the shirts

A sure sign that Jackson had fun

I can only dream of having a little girl as cute as this little one!

In Loving Memory...

I had a really hard time trying to figure out exactly what to say about one of the most amazing people I've ever had the opportunity to know and I think my sister, Jess said it all here.
