Happy Happy Birthday!

June 17th was my beautiful, wonderful mother's 50th birthday. Now if you now my mom you would never guess that she is 50 years old. It's crazy she is just so amazing. We had a nice BBQ at the park near Taylor and my apartment and then later that night we went to the Strawberry Days Rodeo. It was a really great day we got to spend together! 

Happy Birthday Mom!!!!

They are such an amazing couple and I really love Christina which is a huge plus. They are going to be so great together!!!! Congratulations yall I am so happy for you :)

Filling Yall In...

So my last actual post was at the end of March, which means that I haven't posted in just over 2 months!! WOW... that's way way way too long. I'm going to do an update of what has happened in these past few months cause it would be an understatement if I said there hasn't been TONS of new things going on. Lets get started:

• One of my very good friends Lyndsey Jones(now Crose) got married on March 18th 2010. It was a wonderful wedding and I am so happy for Lyndsey and Charlie. I know they will be so happy together :) 

• I was very luck that my little sisters Spring Break happened to be the same week as my Spring Break from work.. So I flew down to Florida to spend some time with my parents, sister, and a couple of her friends in Orlando. It was such a nice break but super hard cause Taylor had to stay back in Utah because he had school and work that he couldn't miss.. but it was a very nice break away from work.

• Right before we left for Hawaii on April 23rd Taylor was privileged to baptize my boss Jason R. Mason. It was a wonderful experience and we are very happy for Jason! 

• We were leaving April 26th for Honolulu, Hawaii so after I got back from Florida I was doing a lot of packing and just getting ready to leave for the summer. When we got to Hawaii it was wonderful. The weather was more then I could ever hope for and the people were so nice. We went to the beach every morning because we didn't have to go to work till noon. Taylor was doing really well as well. He had gotten 2 sales in his first 2 days on the job which I guess is really unusual for first timers. Little did we know that our summer fun in Hawaii would be coming to an end very soon. I got a phone call from the people that were renting our apartment and they said that people had accessed all of their accounts and taken all their money so they didn't have any money to pay rent and they wanted us to pay the rent for them. Which of course we weren't about to do. The couple was coming home from their honeymoon in Vegas and their story just seemed really weird. A few days after that we found out that the couple was just bailing and not going to be staying so we would either have to move back or figure out how to pay rent in Hawaii, Utah and still be able to afford to eat haha so sadly we had to decide to move back to Provo, UT. 

This is the beach we went to every morning.

I got a nice morning nap every day in the sun :)

These are the Dole pineapple farms

We weren't able to go to the temple in Hawaii but we got to drive by and take some pictures. It's such a beautiful temple I hope we will be able to go back to Hawaii some day and actually go inside!

One of Taylor's best friends happened to be spending his honeymoon on the same island so we got to spend the day with them before we went left to come back to Utah.

Taylor cliff jumping

We went snorkeling with turtles!! It was so cool. There were about 7 of them and we got to pet them while we were snorkeling.

It was a great day with Austin and Kodie. It was nice to be able to get out and see some of Hawaii before we had to leave.

Taylor got stuck in the Honolulu airport for 6 days. He slept in the airport for 5 nights and since it wasn't looking like he was getting out of there my dad decided it would be best for him to go from Hawaii to Japan then from Japan to L.A. and from there to Salt Lake City. It was a very round about way to go but Taylor was able to finally get home and he also got to experience international first class. It's safe to say that it is something we will never forget :)

•  On May 2nd we found out the were are going to have a new addition to the King family! Has of my last doctor appointment which was June 6th I am about 9 1/2 weeks and an approximate due date of January 5th. We are very excited for this and can't wait to find out if we are going to be having a boy or girl :)

This is how I told Taylor the news.

This was his reaction when he got home and saw it.

 So now we are back in Provo in our humble apartment and just trying to get some jobs :) wish us luck.

Till next time.

Long Time No Talk....

So I realize that it has been FOREVER since I last posted and I would love to be able to say that it's because nothing has been going on since the last time I posted but that just wouldn't be true. The truth is tons and tons of stuff has happened since the last post a posted I just really have been so busy dealing with all of it that I haven't had the time or the few times a have caught myself with time to blog I didn't have internet to be able to get on blog. SOOOO the point of this blog is to say that I will be posting a very large post here as soon as everything settles in :) 

Till Next Time

Living In Paradise.. Literally :)

A few months ago Taylor and I were invited to go to Hawaii to sell security systems for Vivint (formerly known as apx). This opportunity seemed too good to be true. To be able to live in Hawaii for the summer paying less rent then we do now... There were a few things that would have to line up for this dream to come true. I would need a job, we would need to be able to rent our apartment for the summer, and I would need to be able to leave my current job as a preschool teacher before the school is over. Anyways it just seemed like something that wasn't going to work out, but I kept hoping in the back of my mind that all the stars would line up and we would be able to have an experience of a lifetime!! 

So when Taylor went to meet the Jeff (the head manager of the team going to Hawaii) He talking to him about how I wanted to work while we were there. So Jeff offered me a job as the OA (Office Assistant). There was the first thing on our list. Second I talked to my boss at work and explained everything to her and she was totally cool about everything. She said that would be such a great experience and I would have a job when we got back. Check number 2. Last we need to rent our apartment out for the time that we would be gone. So I posted our apartment on KSL.com and about an hour later I got a text asking about the apartment. The next day they came by and looked at the place and long story short they signed the contract the next week!!! So the last and final thing on the list was completed which means.... We will be spending May through August in Honolulu, Hawaii soaking up the sun and living the dream life. We are so excited and feel so blessed to be able to have this experience. We will be leaving April 27 and I am counting down the days until then :) 

Till next time.

The Past Few Months...

So I don't really have an excuse for not blogging the past few months. I have just been pretty stressed with work and stuff so blogging is really the last thing that I have on my mind but I am going to catch up here.

January 26th 2011

For Taylor's birthday one of the presents I got him was lower bowl tickets to the jazz game against the San Antonio Spurrs. It was a really good game even though we lost. 

 

 It was a great night. Our friends Matt and Karly got engaged that night too. It was really exciting. Congratulations to them :)

 Beginning Of February

My cousin Katy Jo had her adorable baby boy! He is the cutest little thing.

Congratulations Katy Jo and Matt. Yall have a awesome baby! Best of luck :)


March 2nd 2011
We celebrated my 20th birthday! It was a wonderful birthday and Taylor totally surprised me with a dinner and Red Robin with some of our friends. My dad was also able to come into town so when we got back from dinner we got to hang out with my brothers and dad. Then the next day my dad got me a few wonderful gifts! It was really a great day!! Thanks so much to everyone who shared that day with me!!

Taylor wrapped my gifts in Princess wrapping paper!! It was the best. He did a really great job don't you think?

The big 2-0 :)

I really love Greg Olsen paintings so Taylor surprised me with another one!! Making my collection 3 now. It was a wonderful surprise. Thanks Tay you're the best.

The surprise dinner at Red Robin 

Baby Annabelle and me. She is the cutest little thing ever. You done good Travis and Brittney haha

Everyone at the dinner. Thanks again everyone for coming!

Another great surprise was that Taylor was able to contact the lady who made out wedding cake and have her make my birthday cake. It was soooo great!!! I didn't even really want to share with anyone. But I did of course ha.

Then the next day my dad surprised me with a Blendtec. Which is the best blender in the whole world and I have been wanting one ever since my mom got one for Christmas a few years ago. My dad also got me a few other things for the house haha like a potato peeler, measuring cut, and soup mugs. You can always count on my dad to get the important things :)


Thanks again everyone for an absolutely fabulous 20th birthday!!! It will definitely be one that I will always remember.

Visiting Georgia

Taylor and I got to go home to Georgia from December 29- January 2. It was so much fun! Here are some pictures from the trip.

Taylor and I went to a little party on New Years Eve. It was a lot of fun and the people even made their own ball that they dropped from their roof!

These are my childhood friends Danny and Megan.

We went to the Coca Cola Factory.

This drink is called Blue Raspberry and it was the most amazing drink we have ever tasted and it actually from North America but we have no idea where to find it!! ha

The Varsity is a really famous/ popular restaurant in Atlanta. It was soo yummy!
