A few things we have been up to!!!

We have been up to a lot lately. We moved...yahoo! We moved into a huge basement apartment that is in our same ward and we are loving all the space of 3 bedrooms and a huge living room and kitchen! Now that we have a big kitchen we have actually been cooking our food instead of eating out or eating cereal!

I have started up my last semester of classes of graduate school (even though I have a week of classes I have to take in May). I can't believe in a few months I am going to be an official therapist and not and intern anymore...its crazy! Zach also took a real estate class and is going to be taking the test in a few weeks, so we spend a lot of time studying. However, we have been playing a lot with friends lately and we have had a blast catching up with friends that we haven't seen in a while! Life is great...especially because I get to come home to these cute boys!

Thanks for all our friends who have come and played! We love you guys!

Wow...where has the time gone!

So I can't believe it has been like 6 weeks since I have updated this thing! Where to start...Well we had a great Christmas! Zach and I spoiled each other rotten (which is alright because we don't have kids...right?) I got a new cannon DSLR camera and I love love love it! I will probably post so many pictures because I am figuring out how to use it and I am addicted to taking pictures of anything and everything! I love it! Zach got the wii and has spent many late nights playing Lego Batman, Indiana Jones, Guitar Hero and many others. We also got a lot of clothes and other fun things!

Christmas Eve in our Christmas PJ's. Before we got to work unwrapping all those gifts for US!!!The damage!

Bentley's first Christmas!

Here are also some pictures from our annual Christmas lights festivities with the Evans side.

Chayse had to keep Zach's ears warm.

The END...there will be lots more to come very soon!

Winter Break!

We are done with school! Zach is now a college graduate in Finance! I am so excited and so proud of him! Being done with finals also marked the half way point for me graduating from grad school. So weird to think that in a few months I will be a therapist...not an intern! I am loving school though and I am so grateful for the opportunity I have had to go back and for Zach who has worked so hard to support us while I do!We are also excited for our first year as our own family. Zach is getting so so so spoiled I have spent so much money on him and have gotten him a few big surprises! I will give you details after he opens them!

We are so grateful this season for our families and friends. Everyone in our lives are so amazing and we could not ever ask for more! We are grateful for the savior Jesus Christ, his example and sacrifice. He is the foundation in our life. It is nice to be done to slow down and really ponder the reason for the season! We just want to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and how you find a lot of JOY in your Holiday Season! We are going to take this break to enjoy each other, our family, and to just relax and enjoy not doing homework every night!

Sorry these pics are from last year! I am getting a new camera for christmas and so I haven't really been taking pics, but I will post after christmas with my new DSLR camera! I can't wait to get it!

Class project

For a class we need to promote and advocate for a social injustice that we are passionate about. The girls in my groups and I are all extremely passionate about human trafficking and we wanted to educate our community about this world wide problem. We have narrowed the region we researched to India and Thailand. Please watch this quick video to help spread the awareness...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KdQnKpMOTWA
Thanks
Chelsea, Danielle, Alina

Settle the Score

Ya, Utah lost...that stinks especially since we had come back from so far behind. However, I realized that their is always next year, and at least I have last year that will always make me feel better! I will take the loss over having Max Hall as a quarter back...enough said. Oh, and ya I loved the way BYU fans treated me while I was at the game. Nothing like having a drunk BYU fan get in your face and having to have your husband push him away from me...classy! This is not directed towards all BYU fans (as most of my family are BYU fans) however, I just thought I would make a point that U fans are not the only ones who are rude and take things to far...that is it I am done talking about it.

So...I married a BYU fan!

There is a bit of a rivalry going on between Zach and me. I knew it would be an issue once a year but I did not think it would be this hard. You see, I am a U fan as most of you know. Zach is a BYU fan, I mean a huge BYU fan. I have tried to be supportive of his fetish, as I have given up quality time so he can check stats, and I even listen to all the BYU updates when in the car while we are driving.
You see I thought it would only be an issue once a year, however, in the 6 months we have been married this issue of BYU vs UTAH has been the main cause of most of our fights (I know pathetic huh). I have tried to be supportive and I have tried to get a little excited so he feels like I care about his interests, I have even appeased and dealt with his BYU loving family. I even went to the great length and have gotten him a BYU sweatshirt for Christmas (shh…don’t tell him).
I just can’t do it anymore. I think I will have to teach him a lesson next week when our two beloved teams come together again to battle it out.
Dear Zach,
I love you so much, you are such a great husband. However, I can’t stand your love for BYU. Although it will be hard, I will love every minute that I watch you squirm as my Ute’s whip those Cougar butts! I have tried to act adult about the situation, however, I intend on using this win for future fights and bragging rights. I hope you understand!
Love,
Your sweet wife!

October, 09!

Oh my gosh! Time is going so fast , I can't believe it is almost the middle of November! October was a great month! We have been extremely busy and we are always on the go, but we did have some time for some fun things in the middle of our crazy ride...

We had time to squeeze in a Ute Game with my most two favorite girls ever! I have known Danielle since I was a little girl and we met Alina at school. We all got into grad school together and we have all the same classes. The best thing about our friendship is that we are all so different, yet alike and it seems that even though we are different we just "get each other" and support each other! These girls are the best and I am so glad they are there to help me tough out grad school! I love you ladies!

I can't forget the awesome Halloween party we went to that Cade and Lisa had. We were cavemen and they were the Kennedy's (pardon his bullet hole). We also went to my sisters for a family Halloween party and to watch the kids trick-or-treat! It was by far the best Halloween I have had in years!

I can't forget Bentley was a pumpkin for Halloween! He hated his costume so bad he didn't move from where I put it on him for 3 hours, and when he did move it was because I finally took it off of him. Maybe next year he'll wear it long enough for me to take a quick picture! Happy October...on to the HOLIDAYS, YAHOO!!!!
