Adrenaline junkies!!



HAPPY BIRTHDAY DERICK!!
Happy 23rd baby!! He will never show those pearly whites!!


Sadie had a good time too!!


This last week was Derick's BDAY..... ha ha its so weird that he is younger then me. I love it!!
So Derick and I love doing new, fun spontaneous things.I attempted to surprise him for his bday o fun and decided to take him up to the indoor skydiving in Ogden. I did so well the entire week keeping my mouth shut and was so excited to see if I was successful at surprising Derick which is a very very hard thing to do. He guessed it even before we left Provo. Geeez I will be able to get him someday.

So needless to say we love doing super crazy things in life. I am so glad we married each other and can still do all these fun things together. Derick and I have been Skydiving and Bungee Jumping on seperate occasions but still have both done it. It was awesome and such a rush!! I loved skydiving and definitely recommend it to anyone. It was such a thrill and totally cool. Bungee jumping was so much scarier because the ground is so much closer then when you skydive so that thrill kinda freaked me out. Here are my crazy pics that I have from when I went. I need to find Derick's and post them but this is what I have for now.



I still can't believe I swanned dived off this tower. SO scary!!





Don't worry that I (or should I say my tandem man) did a gainer out of the plane.... it was one of those army planes so we were able to jump out the back which made our exits that much better!



Ha ha I had cotton mouth the entire time so I can't believe I mustered to get my tongue out of my mouth for this shot... So funny...

Next crazy activity.......something crazy for our Hawaii trip...YES!!!!

Promotion



Yet another post. So I have been working at Kohl's for almost 2 years and I have loved it. I just recently got a promotion which is great. I am in charge of so much more and love the authority I have. It has been hard but I love the store and am very passionate about our sales and product. I just had to share this...... So Derick and I went to this random Chinese buffet place across the street from our apartment (which was amazingly yummy) and ate our delicious meal and then got to the dessert.... Fun yet disgusting hard as rock fortune cookies..... This is awesome. I opened mine and this is what it said::


You will be selected for a



promotion because of your



accomplishments.
 
 
I kid you not that is what it said and I literally like that last week got the promotion.. ha ha totally random right....  You think that was good well here is what Derick's said:
 
 
 
 
Work on improving your
exercise-routine.




TEE HEE TEE HEE!!! HA HA HA I love Derick so much and he was super bummed after reading this one. Both he and I have gained weight due to our wonderful happy marriage and we were talking about working out and getting healthier and then this little sucker comes along. SO RIGHT ON!! I couldn't believe that the fortunes were so in tune with our lives at the time. Pretty funny hu? Anyways so yea thought that was hilarious.

Pawn Shop!!





Ok so for any of you who don't know my sexy husband is an amazing entrepreneur. He baptized our dear friend Antonio Palazzola on his mission who is a pawn shop guru and who helped Derick find his current career. The Quick Cash Pawn shop has been opened for a little over a year now and it has been extremely successful. I am so proud of Derick and all of the hard work and dedication that he puts into the shop. Now I have to admit when I heard about this whole pawn shop thing when we were first dating naturally I was a little nervous.... Who wouldn't be??? The way the world portrays pawn shops are shady and unreliable. Derick has made it his goal to be the best and to offer the best to everyone he comes in contact with. Anyways here are a few pictures from the beginnings till now. Amazing how much crap you can accumulate within a year. 







Antonio and Derick



Now here are the most recent shots.....

Of course we watch pawn stars and have attempted to go there once with no success but it was still a neat journey to Las Vegas..Derick and I love chum lee and love to see all the neat old stuff people bring in.
