Officially Unemployed


As of May 16, 2009 I am no longer an employee of the most magical place on earth, Disney World. In January 2007, I moved out to Florida to live my dream of working for Disney. I lived out there for eight months and was a character performer in the parades and in the parks. I worked for so many different characters, it was so fun to get to know them and make kids dreams come true when they get to meet their favorite character. After those eight months, we have a year to go back and work again for us to keep our employee status, and that is exactly what I did. My friend I met out there, Ambree and I went to visit last May and worked my last shift at Disney World. I needed to go back out there and work this May to keep this status of employee and keep the benefits(one of them being free Disneyland passes) But as much as I wanted to go out there and work, I knew it wouldn't happen. Sadly I have to move on from that section of my life but luckily I made some great friends which makes the loss a little easier. I hope you all Have a Magical Day!

Softball Games

Mckell has been playing on our friend's companies softball team! He is a very talented softball player, especially for never playing in his life! I love going to the games and I have made a lot of good friends. They may be a few years younger then me but we always have fun when we are watching the team play! One day I let them take pictures with my camera and this is what I got! Enjoy! Thanks for letting me play with your girls! They are so cute!

Congrats Keater!


My littlest brother Keaton graduated from 6th grade las week!! He is such an awesome little kid! He is the youngest of six and he does get picked on a ton but he is such a tough kid. He is one of the smartest, funniest, and hard working kids I know and Mckell has so much fun having him as a little brother to pick on. He was one of the kids to give a speech at the graduation, and although you could only understand half of it because he was talking too fast, it was really funny and very good. I was impressed with how talented of a writer he is. He wrote almost the whole talk by himself and it was really good! We love you Keaton and good luck in Junior High!

Andrew and "Yena's" Wedding

One of Mckell's best friend in high school, Andrew, got married last weekend to one of the sweetest girls out their, Jena. Their wedding was so beautiful! The temple had gorgeous weather and they looked so happy! We are so happy for them to join the married club, even though sometimes it felt like they were married for months when we would hang out with them. One of my favorite parts of the day was when the sealer kept calling Jena, Yena and even after Andrew corrected him, he still said Yena a couple times. It is even funnier because our friend Nikki always calls her Yena for fun and then when she was married it was still Yena! But Mckell's other best friend Ryan gave them this beautigul picture of himself dressed up like a cowboy because Andrew has always wanted to be a cowbot. He is apparently making it a tradition because we got this beautiful picture of Ryan at our wedding!!

April Snow Showers?


We live next to the mountains and in April we had a huge snow storm one night and I woke up to this! There was so much snow on our tree that it blocked our driveway, I couldn't get my car out of the driveway because this tree was blocking it! I had to shake the show off of the tree so it would lift just enough for me to get my car out. Good thing I have such a little car. By the end of the day, there was hardly any snow left on the yard. This was such a wierd week for weather:)

St. George Vacay!


For UVU's Spring Break, my sister and Jessica wanted to plan a fun vacation for us and our husbands. We were debating on going on a small cruise or just going down to McKell's Parent's house in St. George. Since Mckell and Paul have never been on a cruise before we decided to wait on that and plan a trip to go on a longer cruise later on, but who knows when that will be. So we went to St. George, and it was so much fun! We went down on a Wednesday night and stayed until Sunday. It was the perfect vacation, we spent zero time working on homework and all time playing. We went down to Vegas on Thursday for Paul's first trip there. It was really funny to see his reaction to Vegas, it was nothing like he expected it to be. We ate at The Cheesecake Factory and Bahama Breeze, which I highly recommend if haven't been to either. Get the ribs at Bahama Breeze of you go there. On Friday, McKell's dad needed to get his pilot hours in so his parents flew down to the house and took us out to lunch. Then the boys went shopping and the girls went shopping. We were also the chaperone to Mckell's little sister McKenzie and her friends while they went to the Baseball Sunshine tournament. It was a full weekend but it was so much fun! Before Mckell's parents left, his dad took us up in the plane for Jessica's and I first time in a small plane. It was an experience, it was kinda shaky and you could feel every bump. Paul wussed out and stayed at the house and took a nap. Between all of this, we managed to go swimming, see two movies, go to Wal-Mart at Midnight for the release of Twilight(just the girls went to this, we couldn't convince our husbands to come), and even find a bowl to float chex mix in the hot tub(probably Mckell's favorite thing)

Rascal Flatts


Mckell and I love love love Rascal Flatts! We think they are the greatest band on the planet! Our love basically started when we met. We first met in our Institute class, Mckell and I had a chance to become really good friends, after class he would always drive me to my class on the other side of campus and we would listent to Rascal Flatts. Well one days he said that he had Rascall Flatts tickets and he wondered if I would want to go with him, well I had already been asked by my "boyfriend" at the time so I said that I was already going. For the next few days he would ask me if I had told this boy that I was going with someone else but I wouldn't give. He soon gave up and asked someone else, but we were both excited to go to the concert. Well the week of theconcert rolled around and I broke up with my boyfriend and ended up not going to the concert at all, but did end up with a much better boyfriend/husband! Anyways Mckell said he would make it up to me and he did! In July 2008, He took me to Cheyenne, Whyoming for the frontier days to see Taylor Swift and Rascal Flatts! Our two very favorite country singers! We had a blast and when we heard the Rascal was coming again in February, we wanted to go so bad but our married budget would allow us. We were both sad but we got over it. Well the day of the concert came around and I get this phone call from Mckell's best friend, Ryan, who said he had two extra tickets to Rascal and wondered if we wanted to go! I said of course and called Mckell to tell him the good news, which was kinda bad news because he had to miss his class that night, but he was quickly over that! We got our cowboy gear on and drove up to the concert and had so much fun! Not to mention Jessica Simpson opened.Yay for Rascal Flatts!

Britni, it looks like my car window is rolled down.....


In January, my best friend Britni went up to Rexburg to see our other best friend's little baby Kennedy, which is the cutest thing! (I did manage to blog about that) Well we decided that I was going to drive up to her apartment in Taylorsville and park my car there, and then drive her car up to Rexburg. I got to Britni's apartment at 9am on Saturday and we go back to Taylorsville that Sunday at 5pm. When she drove up to my car, I noticed that there was no window in the drivers seat, and being as nieve as I am, I said, "Britni, it looks like my car window is rolled down." I was trying to think if I had rolled it down and forgot to roll it up, but when I got out of the car I saw that someone had broken my window and stolen my stereo!! I was so mad/scared/worried! So we called McKell and he said that everything would be alright and to call the police and he would take care of the rest. So I called the police and he filed a report and that is about how much the police helped us. So Britni, her husband Jesse, and I cleaned up the mess of glass and snow and taped the up the window with a grabage bag so I could drive home. The ride home was one of the scariest things of my life, not only could I not see out my window but it was snowing! No more like blizzarding! The fastest I got going was probably twenty, the roads were that bad. I got home and we figured everything out with the insurance and we only had to pay a small amount and we got a new upgraded stereo and a new dashboard. In the end it all turn out great! But it was something I never want to deal with again! I just don't have very good luck with cars! (First Mckell had to save my life in Spanish Fork when my car over heated, we hadn't even gone out on a date yet, then 10 days after we were married, I crashed my car and totalled it, but I did get one of my dream cars:) and then this! Good thing I have such a patient husband who is such a hard worker! Love him!)

Updates

As you may have noticed, most of my recent blogs haven't had too many pictures of Mckell and me. This is because I blog at work and there is no way I can get the pictures on my camera to upload on the computer(probably because the computer is an old grandpa one!) So I am going to update you on what has been going on in lives with pictures of us! Be prepared.... there will be quite a few!

Out of Shape




So I am currently rehearsing for Beauty and the Beast at the Scera Shell, and as much as I love getting back to performing, I'm debating if it is worth it? After every rehearsal, I become sore for doing nothing! Well it is from dancing but some of the rehearsals all I do is sway my arms back and forth and walk around. The most exhausting thing is a couple of kart-wheels! These experiences have made me realize how out of shape I am! I have decided that I am going to start running in the mornings.... We will see how well this works out, I might just have to start doing Wii fit instead. But I am not going to talk myself into giving up yet! But in the meantime if any of you would like to come see the show, it runs from Jume 5-20 and there are now shows on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. It is going to be amazing! The leads are so wonderful and I even get to do the splits (another reason I am so sore) lucky me :)!! Looks like my nights will be spent stretching for the next few weeks! I would love to see everyone there!

Enjoy some of my favorite pictures of Belle and the Beast!!

In EPCOT during the Garden Festival!

Beautiful Picture of Belle! My favorite Princess!!

Twitter


Since work has been so slow the past couple of days, I have been bored out of my mind, so I play online to keep myself busy. The other day I made a Twitter and I found it addicting!! When I first started using it, I thought it was kind of a dumb idea, but now that I know how to use it, I have fallen in love. Well maybe not love but it does give you something to do when you don't have anything else to do. All you do is just update your status, like facebook, and that is about it! You can only use up to 120 characters, so the "tweets" don't become monologues. Another thing I like about it is you can update your status from your phone. You can "follow" different people and even have their updates sent to your phone, which makes you feel pretty cool when you get a lot of text messages :) haha. Twitter is an easy and quick way to blog. It is fun to find your friends, except I don't know any one else who is on it, so if you have a Twitter, then let me know and I can start to follow you :) If you want to check out my page, it is www.twitter.com/sariannec.

ON TO BIGGER AND BETTER THINGS


This week Mckell and I signed a contract to start building a new home! I am so excited and lucky to have a home of my very own. I never would've imagined to own a home at 21, but we have been very blessed to be able to start building a house. It is going to be in "Spanish Fark", sigh, which I never planned to live there in my entire life! But it is a great neighborhood with a new church right in our backyard, so I don't think it will be that bad. I just picked out the colors of the home and I can't wait to see how they will turn out. We are building with Bishop Homes and here is the picture of the house but we have changed it a little to make it fit what we want. It should be finished on August 6, which is when we have to move out of the apartment we are staying in now. We are praying that everything will go as planned so we don't end up homeless.

Hair Color?!

I am going to be getting my hair done soon, and I am trying to grow it long but it is taking forever!! I am getting so bored of the same brown that I have had, so I need to add some change to my hair color to keep my from cutting it short. I need some advice on what you think I should do. I am liking the colors Miley Cyrus has had so these are the colors I am kinda thinking...

Keep it brown with a few highlights.


Do some red, brown, and blonde


Or go really dark brown?


What do you think? I am leaning towards just adding a little blonde highlights but I still like the other ideas so let me know what you think I should do?
