Crazy Dog!

So, this is my cute dog Oreo! She is about 6 months now and getting very big. Last time I took her to the vet she was about 35 pounds! She loves riding in the back of Dave's truck but I can't get her to jump in and out off of the tailgate by herself! Does anyone have any good training tricks to get her to do this?? She's getting too big and crazy to lift in and out of the truck. I know this is a totally dumb thing to ask but it's one of those things that just drives me nuts!

New Job!!

Since being in Santaquin, it has been sooo hard to find a job! I finally found one that I absolutly love!!! I started this last Monday. I work for Dr. Cloward and Dr. Fairbanks in Spanish Fork. They are General Dentists. Dr. Cloward has been in practice for over 10 years and Dr. Fairbanks is pretty new. But they are both great dentists and good to work for. My job position is the Office Manager and it's kinda scary being in charge of stuff but oh well, I guess I better suck it up! The office is only about 4 years old and is VERY nice. All of the girls that work there are sooo nice and fun and everyone seems to get a long very well, which is a relief from my experience in other offices. Anyways, just thought I'd updated anyone that is interested!! :)

Mass Blog

Dave graduated from Utah State on May 2nd!! Wow what a day! I think he's really excited that it's over with. We went to the big commencement at 9:30am then the College of Agriculture had their own graduation thing at 2:00pm so we were able to go to both. My parents, Dave parents and grandma Geniel and grandma Gerry came. Dave has accomplished so much and I'm so proud of him!! He is such a motivated and hard working guy!!

Brady and Virginia FINALLY got married on May 5 in Portland. We flew up the night before and then went to the wedding the next day, then flew back home the next morning. The temple in Portland is so beautiful. I love all of the trees and flowers up there. Dave and I decided that we couldn't ever live there though because it rains WAY too much and the traffic and roads their are horrible. It rained the whole time we were there almost. It stopped for maybe an hour during the reception. But it was very nice and they looked so happy! It was fun seeing someone else in my family get married and it brought back really great memories for Dave and I.

We moved to Santaquin on May 12. It took the truck, the car AND a huge U-Haul to get all of our stuff down there. I swear we've accumulated so much stuff for only being married less than a year....We bought a puppy after we moved into the house. She is an Australian Border Collie and we named her "Oreo". Dave thought the name was perfect considering she looks like an Oreo Milkshake. We're having fun training her and playing with her. She is only about 12 weeks old and has already jumped off the tailgate of the truck by herself 3 times!! She's our little baby and we're having tonz of fun with her.

This next Tuesday Dave, his dad, and brother and I are driving to Reno, Nevada to sell a sheep at the sheep show there. I've never been to it but apparently it's a big deal and people will pay big bucks for a nice ram. That will probalby be my next update!

Update!

Wow, we are horrible at blogging!! Sorry everyone that keeps checking and doesn't get any new information!! Dave and I are doing very well. Dave is finishing up his last few weeks at USU and will be graduating on May 2!!!!!!! He is soooo excited but is hating life right now while he wraps up his last few weeks. I am still working at ABC and love it!! Unfortunately though, Dave and I are moving during the second week of May. We're going to be permanately moving to Santaquin. So, I have put in my notice at work...and am really really sad about it... I never thought I'd be so sad to leave a job!! There are so many wonderful people that work there and I couldn't ask for a better Doctor to work for! :( :( So, currently i'm looking for a job in Utah county so if anyone has any ideas let me know!!!!! See ya!

Valentine's Day!

Dave and I had the best Valentine's Day!!! Here's kind of a run down of the day....We spent the entire day, just the two of us. We woke up and had an awesome breakfast that Dave cooked...then later we went through a session at the Logan Temple.We ate lunch afterwards at Panda Express, which we both love!! We went to the movie "Taken" which by the way was the only real bad part about our day because that movie is sad and NOT a Valentine's Day movie....we don't recommend it to anyone. Then we got us a heart shaped pizza from Papa Murphy's and some Pepsi and hung out at our house all night! It was an awesome day.....we didn't have anything to stress about and no where to be or classes to study for. Dave got me some of the prettiest orange roses and a gift certificate to get a spa pedicure! He definately knows me very well!!!Dave has said for a while that he wants some of those really big scriptures so that they can be our family scriptures so that's what I got Dave and I had them put "Dave and Kalei Robbins" on them. I also got him a pink tie...its a very big step for Dave to wear pink but he really liked it and wore it to church today. I love Dave very much and know that I am the luckiest girl in the world because I have him.

Scrapbooking!

I am so excited! For my birthday, Dave got me a scrapbooking program for the computer. I'm just barely trying to get it loaded and start working!!! I love scrapbooking but it will be nice to have the luxury of just doing it on the computer instead of having to go out and buy all the papers, scissors, glue and other things!! Hopefully if it works and I can post some way cute stuff on here.....wish me luck!!

Life in General

After reading some of my friends blogs today, I realized that I'm quite possibly the suckiest blogger ever!! The only time I ever put anything on here is when I have pictures or something exciting happened. Well, I think I will take the time to write a little about life.. December and January have been way crazy months! We spent almost every weekend doing something with my family or Dave's doing family parties, bridal showers, work parties, birthdays and who knows what else. I'm sorry if we've neglected any of you. I promise to do better.
Well this might be kind of scattered but here's a little rundown of life.
Christmas this year was really fun, especially being our first as a married couple. We splurged and bought ourselves a Gamecube for Christmas and have been hooked on it almost every night since we got it. Dave likes to play NCAA football and I love MarioKart. I can't believe how addicting those things are.
Dave started his LAST EVER SEMEMSTER at USU this month!! Can you believe it? Soon, he will be completely finished with his Bachelors degree...what an accomplishment! He is so motivated and hard working. I don't doubt that he will ever be unsuccessful in his entire lifetime because of it.
Obviously in my line of work, a bachelors degree is not needed but that's okay with me because I absolutly love my job!! I work with some really fun people and get to see some of the cutest kids (and some of the dirtiest) but mostly the cutest. I'm starting to become friends with most of the people I work with and it's fun to not be the new person anymore. My birthday was last Tuesday and to celebrate, Dave and I went out to eat with a girl I work with named Deyette and her husband Duren. It was so nice to have friends to celebrate with!! We also went out with my family for my birthday, which was really fun.
Dave's parents came to Logan on Sunday afternoon to visit. They haven't seen our apartment so they came up from Santaquin. We had homemade Cafe Rio burritos at my mom's with them and then went to our apartment to show it off. It was nice having them here. They brought Dave's little sisters Kristen and Katelyn with them. Dave taught them how to play the camecube and they had a blast. His mom even got in on the action. They hung out with Dave on Monday becasue he was out of school for Martin Luther King Day. They went to Hardware Ranch and a bunch of other exciting stuff while I was at work.
Well, I'm starting to ramble. Hopefully I will get better at this blogging thing. I need to update even if I don't have pictures to go along with it. Anyways...I hope everyone is doing well!! SEE YA
