Utah/ASU Football Game

I know it is a miracle! I am posting 2 posts in 2 days! We just did something pretty exciting today so I felt I should share. We went to the Utah/ASU game in Salt Lake. We were fortunate enough to get seats in the CocaCola box. Unlimited Diet Coke? Yes please!!! It will be pretty tough to go back to normal seats after today. We showed up and were immediately shown to the lunch buffet which was essentially a Thanksgiving Dinner. Then during the second half we were given hot chocolate and unlimited popcorn. Seriously, I loved every minute of this day! Football is just so fun to watch when you are sitting in a warm room (it was freezing outside and rained during part of the game) and eating food that you didn't have to pay for. I won't lie, it also felt pretty good to cheer against Utah while eating their food and sitting in their best seats. Utah started off the game doing great but then the sun came out in the second half and the Sundevils stole the show.

I just want to clarify that I am not wearing red for Utah, it is Maroon for ASU!

Trent insisted on taking a picture in front of the picture in the hall. He then wanted to take a picture of me in front of it but I refused to partake in such nonsense. Don't ask me why he thought it was so cool because I don't get it.

Fall

I am oddly enough enjoying the weather changing in Utah this week. I never thought I would appreciate the cold like I do this year. Maybe this is due to it being probably our last change of the seasons in Utah. This seems so surreal to me so I am trying to take full advantage of this Fall weather.

I am looking forward to everything the next few months will bring to us.Christmas is just around the corner people! And do you know what that means.....? Trent and I will be college graduates!!!! This has been 20+ years in the making. I cannot believe it is so close. I do have to say, we are having major issues with Senioritis in the Romney household. Trent is taking his last hard classes and applying to Podiatry school and I am studying for my boards examinations and going to school everyday from 8-5. Whoever decided that Dental Hygienists should take 6 different boards in the span of 1 month was off their rocker. I am trying so hard to stay motivated to study but it is so close to the end I want to just skip the studying part and get to the real world part.

Besides graduating in 66 days, we have a lot of other things to look forward to. My little sister and I are signed up to run in a Halloween half marathon at the end of October. I have wanted to do this half marathon for the last few years but due to other circumstances I haven't been able to do it but this year it wasn't an option. I felt like this was my last chance. We'll see how that goes though since our training has been minimal, but I am excited to accomplish this goal. We also have been going to BYU football games which is always a good time, especially when they win their games. But most of all, we are excited to not have such a hectic life that keeps us away from everything fun in the world! It will be amazing to see Trent everyday and not have to worry about either of us locking ourselves in the other room to study. Granted it will probably only be like this for about 8 months until Trent starts school, but we'll take what we can get.
Well unfortunately I'm not very good at taking pictures but here are some things we've been up to latelyMy Grandpa Robison passed away at the end of July. We had a family reunion the week before he passed and we were all able to see him one last time. It was a very sweet and special experience for all of us. It was great to have everyone in the family there to celebrate his incredible life. My uncle Dan and his family were in Northern Utah for a week and we went to the Indian Festival with them in Spanish Fork. Trent and David were having a good time goofing off together.

Father's Day

So this post should really be entitled "Parents Day" because I didn't write a Mother's day post so this will just be a combination of the two. In church today, the people were speaking about their parents and families, this might be vain of me, but I kept thinking that Trent and I really have the best families out there and others just don't compare. I am so amazed at the dedication our parents have to each one of their kids. They are always available for advice and help with everything we need. It is a rare thing to come from a family where everyone generally makes good decisions and is active in the church. I don't think this is a coincidence that our families are both like this. We have such amazing examples to follow and our parents are the best people we know.

My dad and me watching some BYU football. Somehow I can't find any pictures with my parents and me all together so this is the next best option.


My mom, brother and me


Trent and his parents


And how can I have a Father's Day post without acknowledging the father to my future children. Trent is going to be the best dad someday and I am so lucky to have him here with me. He is the goofiest person to be around and can always make me laugh even if I'm mad at him, and then it makes me even madder that he can make me laugh at him. But in all seriousness, I can't imagine my life without him. There is never a dull moment when Trent is around. He is so thoughtful all the time and so great. I love you Trent!!

Forgiveness

I was so impressed with this video and wanted to share it with you. Be prepared for a bit of crying because it is very sad, but so admirable. This man is such a great example and has so much faith to go through this trial with such a positive attitude.

Happy Halloween!!!

So last year Trent and I had a pretty uneventful Halloween. We didn't get costumes or go out. I'm pretty sure it involved Trent, Paige and I indulging in some Graham Canyon Creamery Ice Cream and watching a not so scary movie. This year was a little different. We ended up going to a Halloween party one of our friends threw so it was a great time. We also were lucky enough to have Skyler and Kaitlin and new baby Caleb in town to hang out with a little bit!

A fun night at Trafalga

A cute little bear

Trent and I were Peter Pan and Captain Hook. We were pretty excited to find this wig for Trent

Here we are with Katlin and Skyler before they left to drive home to AZ and they were nice enough to let us see Caleb in his cute horse costume

Also just wanted to also wish everyone a Happy Nevada Day! I miss Las Vegas and wish Trent would let me move back some day but regardless it will always be home!!

Also a little shout out to my family who went to Disneyland this weekend without me. After the hundreds (literally, probably hundreds) of times my mom has ridden Splash Mountain, she never fails to give a great reaction for the camera. I just wanted to share how awesome she is with everyone. This picture made me laugh when my dad sent it to me.

P.S. Is it bad that I currently have Christmas music playing? Too soon?

Witchcraft

So I quickly learned that the Romney's are a very crafty family. This is a craft I started while in Arizona but didn't get to finish due to time restraints so I just wanted to showcase the final product. Not too shabby huh?

Summer of 2010

I am amazed at people who can blog about their lives on a consistent basis. I will have to try to develop that skill in the future. I am a little bit of a hypocrite. I seriously blog stalk all the time!!! When our regular blogs haven't posted in awhile we start to get a little frustrated. So here is my attempt to entertain if anybody else feels this way and we are a regular on their list.

Our lives this summer were jam packed with school and work. It was hard to wake up to a perfect summer day outside and not be able to enjoy it because I was in school all day. It is also a little pathetic that I didn't go swimming until the end of August!!! Man my summers sure have changed from my high school days. I was swimming with my friends on a weekly basis and I was so concerned about my tan back then that I would go tanning outside daily. But nonetheless it was a fantastic summer! We were both in school full time and we did better than I would have thought given the summer syndrome. I am in my second semester now in dental hygiene school and it has been really fun! I started seeing patients last week so if anyone is interested and you can spare 3 hours of your day come hang out with me for only $10. Trent is only 3 semesters away from graduating and we are so excited! He is unfortunately taking all of his hard classes in the next 2 so it will be a tough 8 months but will be worth it in the end.

This summer we were lucky enough to finally go on a honeymoon. Our destination of choice was New York City!!! Trent had never been so it was the perfect opportunity! I will just show you in pictures how awesome it was!!

Best Chocolate Restaurant Ever!!

Little Natalie is so adorable! She is such a little chubsters

Looking out at the Statue of Liberty

This is us at the top of the Empire State Building. We decided to go at night to see all the lights which was a pretty cool experience.

Of Course we had to go to a Mets game.

Unfortunately the temple was closed but here is a shot from the outside.

Trent and Caleb became best buds on the trip. I'm pretty sure Caleb thinks Trent is the coolest thing ever. We met up with them for dinner one night and I went to sit next to Caleb and he told me I was sitting in Trent's seat so I had to move. haha Where is the loyalty?

The Natural History Museum

Trent's first time seeing Wicked!!

The Met

The Brooklyn Bridge

We went to the Yankees game as well. There was a rain delay for about an hour so it lasted FOREVER! We were fortunately under a covered area so it didn't bother us.

That pretty much wraps it up. It was such a memorable week and we are glad we went!
