Our crazy weekend

On Friday we went to the last home game of the regular hockey season for the Nashville predators. We got some good tickets for Jason's birthday and had a great time. During the beginning of the game the glass in between the players and the fan broke somehow so they had to duct tape it so we could start the game. Also, we had some fan throw a catfish onto the ice and the refs did not do anything about it for awhile. How in the world does someone sneak in a fish past security was my question.

During one of the intermissions we had the singer from the group Alabama sing. It was pretty cool. Nashville predators did not play very well but they came out with a win 4-1. The only reason we stayed in the game was the goalie who made 44 saves.

Also, this morning we went to a driving range and hit golf balls around. Unfortunately the weather here is 80 degrees and humid. I am not the best at swinging at things but it was fun. Tonight we are going to a party for Jason's industrial organization group so it should be fun. Life is good, hope your all doing well as well.

Nashville Predators Game-March 10, 2011

So, its been awhile since I have updated our blog. Life has been really busy with school and work. I work at a preschool and caught the flu and gave it to Jason so the last part of February we were fighting the flu. We had spring break the week of March 10th and really wanted to go to a NHL hockey game for the Nashville Predators. We found out that you can go stand in line and the first 100 tickets are only ten dollars on game nights for the Nashville Predators. Unfortunately, we got there late and we were number 102 and 103. So we splurged and bought tickets that were really close to the rink.

We went to the game on March 10th and had a blast. The played the Minnesota Wild, this was our first NHL game so we had a lot of fun. I had a laugh at the lady that sat next to me because she kept calling the puck a ball, the goalie a stopper and all sorts of weird lingo. We enjoyed a funnel cake and only in Nashville will you hear country at a hockey game. Every time the team scored Tim McGraw's song I love it would play. It was fun.

Our First Christmas Together

We went to Virginia this Christmas to be with Jason's family. We spent two weeks there. I got to see Washington D.C., ride the metro, see the Washington D.C Temple and see snow on Christmas night. We also had fondue with peanut oil and all kinds of meat, onions, and cauliflower at the grandparents house which was amazing, very tasty. We had a good time being with family and just enjoying the holiday season.

When we went to D.C. I got to ride up to the top of the Washington Monument and see the amazing view for there. Also saw the Lincoln Memorial, the National History Museum, Air and Space Museum, and the Bureau of Engraving and Printing (basically where they print money). It was pretty cool, on our way to the National History Museum we saw a squirrel sitting on top of a trash can eating a granola bar. It was pretty funny. The Metro system there is pretty cool, but you definitely need to pay attention to where your going. In Union Station we had some amazing Great Steak Sandwiches, they were amazing.

On our way home from Washington D.C. we stopped by IKEA to see if they had an end tables for our living room. We found two tables in the AS IS section for $3 a piece. We spent our Christmas break painting our tables black. It was a fun project and now they are in our living room.

Anniversary Tickers

Our adventures in Tennessee

We headed out  Murfreesboro, TN on August 3rd, 2010 with a very packed car full of almost everything we own.  We shipped my car on a big semi truck and was told it was to get there in a week or so. We got a call on day 2 from the driver of the semi saying that he needed us to be there the next day by 2pm.  We were not planning on being there till the day after but we drove and on our way we got caught in this crazy rain storm.  Luckily, we made it safe and our truck driver was three hours late because his truck bottomed out.  So, he had to unload the cars and reload them. We went to get the key to our new apartment and move in!!! As we moved in a huge thunderstorm happened and it rained like crazy and to top it off we had a power outage happen.  It was an adventure.  We spent the night at a coworkers parents house out here in TN and went shopping for furniture for our new place.  We found a couch at a thrift store on sale for $30.  It is a blue couch in really good shape.  We rented a home depot truck and drove it to the place and as we loaded up the truck it started to down pour.  It was a scary adventure to go pick up our couch.  We have started school and work and things are going well.  Jason works as a tutor for the football team and I am in charge of 12 kids for an after school program.  We are loving Tennessee and are looking forward to the many more adventures involved.

Our Wedding Day

We got married on July  21,2010 at the Salt Lake City Temple.  It was a beautiful day with our families and friends.  During picture time on the stairs the Lord blessed us with cloud cover so we could be less hot.  The day was so perfect.  Where we had our luncheon they were told power was going off that morning but they came on hours before we had lunch.  We had time to rest and had our beautiful reception at a retirement center that Jason's uncle owns.  It had beautiful chandeliers and all decorated for us. We had a beautiful cake, ring ceremony and many people come to help us celebrate our special day.  Thanks to all who made it a special day and for all your love.  We went to Las Vegas and Southern California for our honeymoon.  It was cold weather so we walked on the beach, Disneyland and Santa Monica (where our car died on us).  It was an adventure. We made it home safe and had a lovely time spending time with each other.  

BYU ENGAGEMENT

After a long wait for the engagement ring it finally happened on June 11,2010. We had to wait a while because Cristina has a really small ring finger, so it had to be special ordered. The ring guy called Jason at 2pm on that Friday and Jason conveniently told Cristina he had errands to run before they meet up for their date that day.

That night, we went to eat at Panda Express and went bowling on BYU's campus. It was raining and Jason kept saying it needs to quit. Jason told me he had a gift for me in the car, which was a red rose. Than he said he had question for me and I started to panic, but he, ONLY, asked how he got so lucky to get me.

Then we walked around campus to all our favorite spots that had a special meaning to us. He kept dropping little hints about the engagement but I didn't pick up on them too well. He got down on his knee by one of our buildings and I began to panic again but he popped right back up. Finally, we walked over to the victory bell at Marriott Center, BYU's basketball arena. We had our first date there and Jason began saying he wanted to make us forever and this is where it all started so why not continue it, and all of a sudden he was on his knee and was holding a box with a really gorgeous ring in it and asked me to marry him. I started to cry a little and was in shock and gave him a huge hug and said yes, of course I will. I was shaking and we both had a huge smile on our faces. He then slide this really pretty ring on my finger. It is finally official!
