Because we have been. so. busy. Jantz is taking 5 classes this semester and I'm teaching TWO classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays. So that has equalled busy busy days and nights, filled in the cracks with being super cheesy and romantic with my amazing husband. And I'm sure you've just been dying to hear all about that haha. But just for funnies, here is a quick rundown of what we've been up to since Branson:<div>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">We celebrated two whole years of marriage together in August! <br />We spent the weekend in Winter Park, which meant driving over this mountain. <br />Scariest thing ever haha.<br />This picture is special, but I really miss my blond hair...</td></tr>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">We went the Bronco's summer scrimmage and got poured on. <br />This was before the madness.<br />We got pelted with rain, delayed for way too long because of lightening and tornado warnings.<br />(but that meant we got to move to the front rows)<br />But it was so worth it when they all came on the field!</td></tr>

And that is our past several months in six pictures. Doesn't do our lives much justice, but it will do for now. Hopefully I'll have more time to post after this semester is over. I mean, after we get back from HAWAII. Yeah, we're going. And we CAN NOT WAIT. So definitely more posting after that :)</div>

We have been so busy! Jantz started school again and I started teaching (YAY), which equals not very much time for much else. BUT, I still want to post on our 4th of July because it was really fun! We went with Jantz's family to Branson, MO. I realized a lot of our pictures were just of us haha, even though everyone was with us, so just imagine haha.<br />
<br />
The drive was pretty long, but still fun. We stopped in Kansas City and had some delicious BBQ.<br />

Jantz and Luis had the crazy idea to do this "Ejection seat". Jantz has wanted to go on one for a long time, so I figure what better time than when someone else wants to go with him! haha. I took a video (which I think I successfully posted after the two pictures).</div>

We went to the Elizabeth Stampede in June with Jantz's family. I got a corn dog and Jantz got a turkey leg for lunch :) We sat at the top of the sketchy bleachers, which was a great view (but a bad day to wear wedges haha). It was really hot, but we got Sonic afterward, which made it a little better.<br />

Well we <i>finally</i> got to go in May!! Jantz picked me up from work and we went to dinner at Cheesecake, then headed over to the show. I was SO excited! Even though I've seen it three times now, it's still my favorite (and Jantz loves it just as much!) <br />

<br />
Last month (or maybe it was two months??) I got some free tickets for a Rockies game, so of course we went! We took Jantz's parents and it was really fun! They lost, but it was still fun to watch, as always.<br />

Somehow Jantz has got me liking hockey. And the Av's looked promising at the beginning of the season (that didn't last long...they ended the season pretty much in last place haha, but we still love them). Anyway, we took Jantz's dad for his birthday, and his friend Kevin came along for the fun too. We got free dinner as part of our tickets, which was awesome. We got chicken fingers and fries, and they were actually pretty delicious. Sadly, though, they lost the game. But it was fun watching them play live.<br />

I was like...where did the plastic thing come from? And he said that he had kept it from the flowers he<br />

2, because he puts a kitchen towel over his shoulder like a fancy chef.<br />

It's been fun watching him do design work and print shirts :) I try to help but I think I mostly just get in the way. He's always got a groove going you know? haha. I have a link to his facebook page, Kronis Apparel, to the left of the page in case any of you are in need of some designs and/or shirts printed. Shameless plug I know haha. Anyway, here are some of the designs and shirts that he has done that I really liked:<br />

They had just bought a motor home and wanted to go on a trip. Lucky for me, I am the closest kid who lives in another state - so they called a few days ahead and came to see us! It was a lot of fun and I'm so glad they came out. It was pretty cloudy the whole time they were here, which is a bummer because it's usually so sunny all the time! It was great being able to show them where we live. They got in Friday evening and we took them to our favorite Mexican restaurant out here (seriously though, it is amazing). Then Saturday we took them to the Denver Zoo. I'd never been so it was extra exciting :) Then we took them to a cookout at Jantz's parents house. They stayed at a reservoir close to our apartment and we stayed with them Saturday night. My mom made a delicious breakfast in the morning - with fruit, eggs, bacon, sausage, <i>and</i> french toast (because that's how my family rolls while camping haha). We had hoagies for lunch and then delicious tin foil dinners for dinner. We played lots of cornhole and catch. Then on Sunday my dad rented a fishing boat and we went out the lake, just to ride around. It was actually really fun. We drove around the whole lake and took turns driving. We tried to hit other boat's waves, which only worked a few times haha. We ate lunch out there and then went back to camp for dinner. Then we had to go home to get some sleep for an early Monday :( It was sad saying goodbye. I hope they had as much fun as we did - we really enjoyed having them out here! Hopefully there are many more visits :)<br />

Jade and John bought a house so we were over there helping to clean, put in doorknobs, and put up blinds. Plus they gave us donuts for breakfast, so of course I was happy haha. Then we headed over to Jantz's parents to help them move wood panels from outside up through the window on the second floor. I was at the bottom lifting the wood to Jantz, who lifted it through the window to his dad. We had quite the process going.<br />
<br />
Then, finally, we got to go eat :) my favorite part of the day. We had heard this place called Champa St. had good burgers, but we had never been. So finally we went! And let me tell you, coming from a girl who grew up in a burger/fry/onion ring college town, a good burger has really been missing from my life. And it was soo good! Best onion rings I've had in a really long time. And the burger was exactly what I have been missing. Believe you me, we will definitely be going back (if I could convince Jantz, and if it wouldn't totally clog my arteries, I would totally go there every week haha). Now if only they had fry sauce and I didn't have to make my own...<br />

Good food, even better candy. I love robin eggs...last easter we (...I) ate at least 3 bags. This year we were better and only ate 2. And black jelly beans? Yum - I know you can always buy jelly beans, but something about them being Easter candy just makes them so much better. We went over to Jantz's parent's house to color eggs and have an easter egg hunt.<br />

I've been meaning to blog for a few weeks now, but being on the computer just hasn't sounded as appealing as hanging out with my husband. Nothing too exciting has been going on, but we've still been having a good amount of fun. Over the weekend we brought our mattress out into the living room and watched some Office. We love watching the Office before bed but we don't have a TV in our room, so this was our solution. It was really fun :)<br />

So...not much exciting has been going on over here haha, so here are some of the drawings that Jantz has been doing in his Drawing class...because he is just cool like that, and I am just super proud of his artistic abilities<br />
<div>

<div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
he wasn't allowed to do any shading or hair in these two drawings, only line, which is why is face has lines on it and why his beard and hair isn't filled in.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
for this he had to draw the positive space of a plant in class, and then do another one of just the negative space. This might have to go up in our house. </div>

We didn't do a great job of documenting our Valentine's this year. But we did have tons of fun. I really hate going out on Valentine's - it's so crowded. So we went out to Cheesecake Factory on Saturday instead. And it was soo good. We got to use our gift card we got from Christmas, which came with a free cheesecake (thanks Josh & Amber!!). It was the perfect amount of fun and romance, which is exactly how I like my Valentine's day to be.<br />

After almost a year and half, I am finally finishing posting about our wedding. better late than never though right? haha.<br />
<br />
We got back from our honeymoon I think on Monday, then we had Tuesday off to settle in to our new apartment. Then we had our reception in Utah that Saturday. It was at our church (it wasn't my first choice, but we had it at my mom's chapel, and for a church gym, this one is up there with the nicest inside, so it worked). A lot of people came and I got to see some high school friends that I hadn't seen in forever. It was so nice to see so many friends :) Here's a smattering of pictures.<br />

Jantz's birthday was really fun this year. It was a whole week of birthday celebration! His sister Jade's birthday is a few days before his, so we had a big family dinner at Olive Garden on Monday and then a big family dinner at PF Changs on Thursday. And then....well, and then I have pictures :)</div>

And I put signs all over the house. This one is by far my favorite though (so pardon the next day early morning hair and clothes and half-eaten muffin). You'll understand if you've seen the Office episode where Jim and Dwight plan a birthday party for Kelly haha.</td></tr>

As his last present, we stayed in Lakewood Saturday night. We went to Chad's Grill and shared a burger and fries - it was SO good and exactly the kind of burger we've been wanting...now if only we could find a place closer to home. Then in morning we went to Taste of Denmark (yet again), got a bunch of pastries - including chocolate filled croissants, which might be our new fave. </td></tr>

Now, this story is long and involved, so I'll try to make it short and sweet (ha, sweet, like the cake)....anyway, I have made this cake a lot of times - never had any problems. Well, this time, I must have done something wrong because the two pans of cake overflowed in the oven halfway through baking, which made our whole apartment smell like burning. I had to let them finish baking though, which only made the situation worse. But thankfully what was left in the pans cooked ok and didn't taste like burning. So I took them out to cool and we left for dinner...smelling like burning cake. When we got back I assembled the cake with the delicious frosting. Unfortunately, it ended up looking like this, instead of all nice and pretty like <a href="http://super-ali.blogspot.com/2012/02/his-birthday.html">last year</a>. But not to fear, it was still delicious. And after cleaning out the oven, airing out the apartment, and putting our scentsy to good use, we finally got the burning smell out. </td></tr>

For New Years Eve this year....or last year?....the whole family got together and had a fondue night! I just love fondue (which is why Jantz bought me a fondue pot haha). It was delish and a lot of fun. We had cheese, then chicken stock, then chocolate. Cheese has to be my favorite - bread in cheese is just too good. After dinner we played Balderdash. And we even stayed up until midnight! It was a great start to the new year (which so far hasn't been too bad).<br />

We stayed in Colorado with Jantz's family for Christmas. It was really fun to see all of the traditions that Jantz grew up with. We didn't take any pictures of Christmas Eve, but his family always has a really big dinner. This year it was prime rib and crab legs. It was amazing. (although, I think I ate a little too much clam dip, shrimp, and crab, because I may have thrown up that night. It was not so fun, but the food was too good not to eat!) Good thing I felt better in the morning, because Jantz's mom make a delicious Christmas day breakfast.<br />

Now, here are a bunch of pictures of opening presents :)<br />

If you're thinking "wait a minute, they were married last Christmas...", well, you would be right. But remember how we went to Disneyland last Christmas? Because we were gone, we didn't want to get a tree and have it rot in our apartment. So this year is the first time we had our very own Christmas tree. And the best part is that we picked it out and cut it down ourselves! (ok, Jantz cut it down, but I watched supportively).<br />

<span style="font-family: arial; font-size: x-small; text-align: -webkit-auto;">I'll start with what is probably the most exciting news from the past few months: </span><br />
<span style="font-family: arial; font-size: x-small; text-align: -webkit-auto;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: arial; font-size: x-small; text-align: -webkit-auto;">Jantz got straight </span><span style="font-family: arial; text-align: -webkit-auto;"><span style="font-size: large;">A</span></span><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: x-small; text-align: -webkit-auto;">s last semester.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: arial; font-size: x-small; text-align: -webkit-auto;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: arial; font-size: x-small; text-align: -webkit-auto;">That's right people, my husband is a genius. I never got straight As in college - trust me I checked haha. And he was taking some pretty tough generals - including stats. and I promise I only helped him slightly with his art history homework. Other than that, he did it all on his own, and I am seriously so proud of him - not surprised (i always knew he was a smarty pants), but so very proud!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: arial; font-size: x-small; text-align: -webkit-auto;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: arial; font-size: x-small; text-align: -webkit-auto;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="font-family: arial; font-size: small; text-align: -webkit-auto;">
</div>
<div style="font-family: arial; font-size: small; text-align: -webkit-auto;">
Here's some other fun news...<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: arial; font-size: small; text-align: -webkit-auto;">
This one is bittersweet, but....I got a teaching job! It's a general Art History class from Renaissance to 1900, which might just be my favorite time periods. I was super excited, but I found out over the weekend that not enough students were registered for it....so they had to cancel the class. I was, and still am, pretty devastated about it. but there's really nothing I can do to change it, so I'm just hoping and praying that enough register in summer so I can teach then (I'm in the class schedule for summer too, and hopefully fall as well, so that's good). I'm just really bummed because I've been planning on it for a while, and I've taken a lot of time preparing, but I guess everything happens for a reason (at least that's what my husband keeps telling me. he's so sweet)....Now on to better news so I don't have to think about this sad stuff.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: arial; font-size: small; text-align: -webkit-auto;">
</div>
<div style="font-family: arial; font-size: small; text-align: -webkit-auto;">
Jantz's birthday is on Friday! It's going to be pretty fun, not going to lie. I'm going to make him my delicious chocolate cake. ok it's not really "mine", it's from my Hershey's recipe book, but it is the best! (I was going to make him an ice cream cake because he doesn't think they are a real thing (even though they totally are!), but we decided chocolate cake just can't wait, so we're putting it on hold until Valentine's). I can't tell you anything else though, because it's a secret. I'm excited to surprise him and I really hope he has a great birthday!<br />

We're finally finishing decorating our bedroom. Since we've moved in I've been wanting to take pictures/video of our apartment, but I've been waiting until it's "all done" (whatever that really means), and it's all been done except our bedroom. But a couple weeks ago we finally started hanging up things, and I must say, it really does make a difference. I'll have to take pictures to post.<br />

I think that's most of the exciting things going on in our lives. I really do want to keep up with blogging, I just feel so busy that I would rather spend time with Jantz than post anything haha. But I do have some catch-up to do, so get ready for some updates on our Christmas and New Years :)</div>

<br />
So, for my graduation present, my mom took us to New Jersey for Thanksgiving, and it was amazing. My aunt and her family live there and they're pretty close to the city (as in, New York City), so we took the train in a couple of days. When we weren't adventuring in the city, we stayed home, made crafts, played cuponk, and ate lots of food.<br />

Turns out it is also as crazy-full of people as the actual parade. So we perused for a while and then got ice cream, and then dinner at a chinese place. It was a pretty fun night :)</td></tr>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">The second time we went into the city it was just Jantz and me, and it was an adventure to say the least. Because of the hurricane, a lot of trains and things were closed, but we didn't check first to see what was and wasn't open. So we took a train to Hoboken, with intentions of taking the ferry. But the ferry is apparently closed on weekends, and the Path train that usually goes from Hoboken to NYC was closed because of the hurricane. So we were stranded at this station for a little bit (...fun stuff). Some lady worker told us we had to take a bus to another station and then take a train from there to the city (but not to the station we wanted to go to). I think this picture is from the bus waiting area - we were so close, and yet so far. So we tentatively got on a bus, hoping it would actually take us to the right place, which it did, but then we couldn't find the station for a few minutes. Once we finally found it, we had to refigure our plans, since it was going to take as twice as long to get there as we were planning. Eventually we <i>finally</i> got into the city (YAY), and made our way to Grimaldi's.</td></tr>

I really am sooo sorry that I haven't been a very good blogger lately (I'm sorry to you guys, but also sorry to myself because I want to be recording memories!). Things have been busy BUT ALSO, blogger decided that I reached my photo limit (what the heck is that about??? is there any way to fix it?) so I'm now on my other email so I can upload pictures again, but it is not ideal.<br />
<br />
I celebrated the big 2 5 a few weeks ago. This was a birthday that made me feel old. Like, remembering when I was in high school and met someone who was 25, and I was like, wow, that is so far away...kind of old feeling. haha, but I still feel pretty young<br />
<br />
So I had just started my job, and no one knew that it was my birthday, but I was ok with that. people I don't really know celebrating the birthday of someone they barely know...awkward. but next year will be awesome I'm sure, because my coworkers are cool like that. Anyway....I should really start with the morning when I woke up.<br />
<br />
I woke up and took a shower. When I got out of the shower I was walking into our room, but I heard a ruckus in the kitchen. So I doubled back and walked into the kitchen to see Jantz making me waffles :) and they were really good waffles! then again anything made my a loving husband who gets up at the crack of dawn is always good. it's just fact. haha<br />
<br />
So then I went on my way to work, worked, then came home. Jantz had cleaned the house and bought me flowers and put my presents all over the coffee table. He made me open them immediately.<br />
He got me Runaway Bride (which I have wanted forever! And you better believe I made him watch it with me. Definitely still one of my favorites), a picture from our wedding that he photoshopped (seriously love it), and a fondue pot! (I've said I wanted one for a while but I never thought I would get one. We have yet to use it, but soon we will!). That husband of mine is so generous, I felt so special. Then we went to Cheesecake Factory (yuuuuuummmmmm).<br />
<br />
It was such a great birthday and even though getting older is weird, being lucky enough to be happy and to have such great family and friends makes it all worth it :) now here are some pictures... (sorry they aren't intermingled with the post...it's because it wouldn't let me upload anything! what a butt)<br />

Now that I've had a week on the job, I'll tell you all about it :)<br />
<br />
I work as a Licensing Coordinator at a big company that sells insurance (I'm not allowed to give the company name on social media, but it's a really great place to work and everyone is incredibly nice). I'm still training but eventually I'll be "appointing" agents to sell our insurance. It's a lot of data entry and honestly I think I'll like it a lot.<br />
<br />
I was super nervous to start, but so far it has been great. Still a lot to learn, but it's nice to be busy (although I'm definitely missing not being able to hang out with Jantz during the day when he's not at school). One thing I love is that it's only 20 minutes away and I don't even have to get on the freeway. Woot.<br />
<br />
There's not too much else to update. We've just been living our fabulous lives haha. Jantz is still doing great in school and I'm still super proud of him :) It snowed last weekend and it has been soo cold. Utah gets cold, but Colorado gets freezing, especially after dark - when it's sunny, it's really not that bad (LOVE the sun out here, it's out all. the. time). Thankfully it's been getting warmer. We've still been cooking dinner a lot, which is lots of fun. In our old apartment, we hardly ever had homemade dinner (I blame our gross old kitchen), but here we've been planning dinners and making two or three a week. Wow how exciting do we sound? haha. <br />
<br />
My birthday was on Thursday and Jantz spoiled me silly. I have pictures to post soon :)<br />
<br />
AND we're going to New Jersey for thanksgiving on Tuesday. We're so excited to go into NYC and to spend time at my aunt's house with lots of family!!</div>
