early risers.

Brad woke me up at six thirty this morning.... so we got out of bed. We have gotten so much done already today and its still only eleven thirty! So far we've made breakfast {actually Brad made breakfast... he spoils me}, watched a movie, cut coupons, gone to walmart, gone to albertsons, gotten a soda at chevron {cause they have the yummy crushed ice}, and made plans to go hiking and have a picnic at antelope island in the afternoon. Who knew that you could get so much accomplished just by waking up a few hours earlier...

happy spring.

new year.

I can't believe 2008 is already over! It was a good year for us and brought some unexpected but wonderful changes to our lives.... mainly the whole getting married thing. I never would have guessed in January of 2008 that I would be married by December. But I sure am glad that Iam :)

Our New Year festivities started with the annual Sheffield family shrimp fest! This has got to be one of my families best traditions. Every 30th of December, which happens to be my sister's birthday, the entire family gets together and stuffs our faces with ELEVEN pounds of shrimp! This was Brad's first year attending the shrimp fest and, although he was not as fast at peeling the shrimp as the rest of us, he seemed to enjoy it!

On New Year's Day Brad and I drove down to St. George and spent the rest of the week with his family. We had a fondue dinner that night and played a few rounds of catch phrase while we waited for midnight to come. Then we all went to bed at 12:01... haha we are party animals huh?! We spent the rest of the week playing shuffle board... Brad and I were the tournament champions...., tennis, going to the movies, golfing, swimming, hot tubbing, eating, and enjoying the warmer than kaysville but still cold weather.

Sidenote: on our way down to St. George we stopped at a Flying J in Nephi to get me my caffeine fixed and happened open what might be the best pizza ever invented. So next time you head down toward Nephi you MUST stop at Flying J and try there super slice pizza... it was so good we stopped on the way home for more :)
