Valentine's Day at Disney!

Clint, Jeff, Brittney, my mom, and I all went to Disneyland for Valentine's Day. It was amazing. All together we had over 15 churros, 10 scoops of ice cream, 5 dole whips, 1 box of popcorn, 15 sodas, 4 bread bowls, 4 chicken dinners and 1 pasta dinner-Brittney, and awesome Mexican food in two days at Disneyland. We are fatties. We had so much fun running from line-to-line in the single riders line-best invention next to the fast pass. And just to let everyone know, Midway Mania (the Toy Story ride at California Adventure) is the best ride of all time. AMAZING. Clint had the highest score- 180,000 but we weren't far behind. It was so fun to have a break from the traditional Valentine's Day and to be with Mom. Thanks to Andy and Jen for letting us use their place and getting us tickets! We love you guys! Oh and yes, I went into my Castle for the first time...Sleeping Beauty is amazing.

These are the Days of Our Lives...

Ok so I know we aren't the best at posting but that is because my computer is still down. We have bought three cords and none of them have worked! So, we are trying #4 cord this week and hopefully it will work. But here are a few updates in our life- without any pictures...

1. Clint and I both changed our majors...again. This is my 4th major change at BYU and I finally think I have found something perfect for me! (It's about time.) I am going to major in Teaching Social Science and minor in History Teaching and Business. I finally figured out that the corporate world is not the place for me. My dad always wanted me to get my teaching license and after praying about changing my major, I know that this was the best thing for me. So that constitutes me taking a ton of credits to catch up but that is ok! Clint switched to Spanish Literature with a Business minor and should be graduating next year. Clint is just excited to get out of school!

2. I started teaching violin again and I love it! It is fun to see the students get so excited and start to love the instrument. I teach on Friday afternoons to beginning students and I would love to teach full time but it will take a little while to get more students in this economy! So for right now, it is wonderful!

3. We bought a HOT TUB! Ok, I have wanted a hot tub forever. We never had one growing up and every time we were able to get in a hot tub, we loved it! So it has been a dream of mine to get a hot tub. Clint and I looked on KSL forever and every time we would find a hot tub that looked descent and was a good price, it would sell in about 1-2 hours after it was posted. We would call and the seller would tell us that if the first 6 people that called didn't take it then he would call us back. AH! Then about 2 weeks ago, I was at work- bored out of my mind- and I found a hot tub on KSL that I loved. I called Clint and asked him what he thought and he called the guy. K-really long story short- we got it! There are some pretty funny stories about how we got it to the house but that would take up the entire blog page! So here is a picture of a hot tub that looks quite similar to ours except ours has a gray outside.

Ugly Sweater Christmas Party

We had a wonderful Christmas holiday and we invited some good friends over for an Ugly Christmas party. My best friends Ryan and Jenna drove in from California and I was really excited that the could be there. We wanted to have a traditional Christmas dinner with some of our closest friends. We had turkey, amazing mashed potatoes, yams, Christmas cranberry fluff, creamed corn, bread, pies, and many more delicious things. We played games and laughed all night long. Thanks to everyone who came-especially Jenna and Ryan!!!

The Sweaters: I found my lovely outfit at D.I. The total was about $12. Amazing. We couldn't find Clint and Jeffrey sweaters so we had to make them. OH what a task. Check them out. You can do a lot with arts and crafts.

Broken Computer =(

My sweet puppy has temporarily taken out my computer. The cord to charge my battery is dead. Thank you sweet Sadie. We have lots and lots to post and we will be putting it up as soon as we can. We love you all!

The Newest Member of the Severson Family

This is the newest member of our family!!! It all started because I hadn't seen Lady and the Tramp, which is a big deal because anyone who knows me knows that I am a huge Disney fan. Clint rented it about a month ago and I totally fell in love with Lady, the Cocker Spaniel. So this weekend Mom and I were decorating for Christmas and Clint pulled in the driveway a little early from work. I went outside to meet him and asked him what he was doing home so early and he said, "There is someone here who wants to meet you." That was the first time I saw Sadie. She is so cute. I have turned into one of those Prima Donna-Paris Hilton types who dresses up their dog. I'm horrible. She has really added a lot to our family so far and she is definitely a Daddy's girl. She follows Clint everywhere. I am so grateful to have such a loving husband!!! Oh and a loving brother who helped get her and who decided on her name- Sadie.

Halloween!

Clint and I had a Halloween party at our house in Highland. It was so much fun. Lots of thanks to Lauren and Dev and Ryan and Sierra for all their help! We played charades and mafia and had a blast. I think we had more sweets than anyone has ever seen! Clint was Iron man and I was Holly Golightly from Breakfast at Tiffany's. This party will definitely be repeated next year. Can't wait for the Christmas party!
