Goodbye to a Utah tradition

I heard on the news that the Snelgrove store in Sugar House was closing...... I thought no big deal I can buy it at the store anyway. Then my husband calls me from work frantically telling me the same thing he was so worried of how I would be. What I didn't hear in the story is that Dryer's bought them out and there will soon be no more Snelgrove Ice Cream!!!!!!!!!!! I went to the store and bought my two faves Burnt Almond Fudge and Canadian Vanilla. There is just something about this ice cream, it slowly melts in your bowl and still tastes amazing even if it's been in your fridge for a while and it tastes like it's homemade! I think it is the only kind of Ice Cream my Grandma Garrick ever had in her fridge.

Hurry go and stock up~!

UVU Fun

Since my life pretty much evolves around college students I find myself having alot of fun all of the time! I guess I am pretty lucky to be around these girls so much, they are always finding ways to make me laugh or make fun of me. This is in Vegas having the time of our lives at Hard Rock!

Right before they competed in Vegas, I would be scared of all these white girls!

Can't have too many jeans!

Denimology

Some of you know this but I have a Jean Business. I sell Designer jeans for wholesale prices. We mostly do in-home parties. We are getting some really cute capris in for spring. We carry many different styles and designers. The sizes go from 24-32. If you would like to have a party you could earn some free jeans. Let me know!

Exciting Times!

I wanted to just hit on a few highlights in our lives for the last couple of weeks. First being Miss America! As many of you may know I tried several times to go to Miss America and a couple of times I came so close that I could literally taste it! I was pleased with the outcome of Miss Michigan winning. The second being the Superbowl... what a fun game. I am a lover of football and food, so two great combninations. Miss America and Superbowl were fun events to watch and spend time with family. The third being the passing of Gordon B. Hinkley. Brock works for the LDS Church in the Security Department and so he has been working really long hours but at the same time gaining many memorable experiences. After pulling a 15 hour day on Saturday, the day of the funeral he came home so sick. In a way we experienced his passing in a very different way that everyone else did. But one things for sure he was a great man. And I have to say that when they showed the people shaking canes I was overcome with emotion. I am so thankful for our church and Brock's ability to work for such a great organization.

I will be leaving this Saturday for Las Vegas with the UVU Dance Team for their first National Collegiate Competition. Between our schedules we rarely see or talk to eachother. But I am not complaining, We love what we do and we are so grateful to even have jobs! Lastely my sister-in-laws and mother-in-law all got together for a birthday lunch at the cheesecake factory that is what this picture is below. I never had sisters growing up so I now feel spoiled to have 3 from the Condie side!

Back in the swing of things...

Happy New Year, a few weeks late! The beginning of the year for us seems to always be a busy one. Every year since I started directing the UVU Dance Team we have hosted a High School Drill Team competition. We do it as a fundraiser for the girls to go to two different National Competitions! This year we had 42 schools attend. It is the most stressful two days of the entire year but I guess it is good to get it over with in the first week of January!! I am also directing the UVU Cheer Squad so we hosted a state cheer competition yesterday. We only had 17 schools attend to say the least that one was a breeze! The next 4 months are the busiest of the year with traveling with the dance team, try-outs, studio competitions and on top of that we get to go to Disneyland (twice). I will hopefully be more consistent with keeping all you who check up on me in the know! Here's a few pics of how we spend our New Year's..... at a UVU Basketball game.

Christmas a little early.....

This year we had Christmas with my mom a little early. My brother and his wife will be in Cancun for Christmas and so we celebrated it today! We each had a box of gifts so we started opening them up. We each got a Disney character nutcracker (a family tradition) a Disney themed game. Brock and I got High School Musical 2 twister so if anyone wants to play.......then we opened up our Polo shirts. We knew that my mom just didn't want to live out her dream of being apart of the Mickey Mouse Club because we would fit right in our shirts. We then opened a letter that said we are all going to Disneyland the end of Apri. The best part is all expenses paid for! I think the last time we were all on a family vacation with my mom and step family was when I was 13! It was such a nice surprise. I know my mom went to alot of hard work so I want to thank her and tell her how much I love her!! I am so excited along with the rest of the family!
