Lent

So the other day Adam asked me if I wanted to do Lent this year. I thought that would be an awesome idea. Even though I am not Catholic anymore, I think it is always a good idea to make yourself better! So after some thinking of what to do, I told Adam that I want to do some kind of physical activity and try to eat better! Adam is hopefully going to do that with me and he isn't going to eat peach rings. Haha. I asked Adam if I should try and not eat so much chocolate and he laughed at me and said "not a chance." I don't think he wants me to give up the one thing that keeps me sane. But I am definitely going to try and not eat so much crap and eat better! We are a little late on starting but I started today. So hopefully we'll be able to keep up our Lent goal. Wish us luck! =)

My hubby:

is absolutely amazing and I want to take a minute to appreciate him! =)

He makes me dinner all the time and it is usually delicious
He is doing what he can to be responsible for his family
He drives me to work on mornings I have to work
He puts up with me when I get frustrated and tries to help me through it
He is very forgiving
He always knows how to make me laugh
He brings me flowers when I am sad
He is very helpful around the house
He is accepting of my chocolate addiction ;)
He is so cute with kids
He is always making new friends and isn't afraid to talk to people
He is so laid back
He supports me in my decisions
He is so smart, S M R T ;)
He helps me with my homework, even if it is just sitting with me on the couch 
He is overall the best man I could have ever asked for and I am thankful for him everyday that he is in my life! I love you Adam! You are my best friend and I am so happy that I get to spend my life with you! =) I appreciate everything you do for me! Happy Valentine's week! 

Back into the swing of school!

School started up again on the 11th! Adam and I are both taking classes. Adam is taking some at SLCC. He seems to like them for the most part even though he is in class all day on Tuesday. I am very proud of him and I know he will do well. I am taking 3 classes but only one of them is technically on campus! It is pretty crazy for me to have such a light load but it is kind of nice for a change. The one thing I am really excited about is that this semester I actually have an internship! =) Yay! I will be at St. Mark's Hospital working with a recreational therapist and patients on physical rehab. I am so stoked! =) I start the being of February!

Other than that life has been pretty good! We are still getting used to married life! And that definitely isn't easy sometimes but I love it! I wouldn't trade it for the world. We are just enjoying each other and the time we get to spend together! We took some pictures with Tanya in our wedding clothes! We went to the Salt Lake Temple. It was a lot of fun! We love to take pictures! =) If you want to see them, go to Tanya's website at tanyagarside.com. Our engagement and my bridals are also there too! =) 


 I am very excited for our first Valentine's day together! I am not sure what we are going to do but we plan on celebrating the day before and then we are spending Valentine's day with Adam's family. It is my brother-in-law's birthday! Hope everyone enjoys their Valentine's day! =)

My 1st Christmas with Adam! And New Year's too! =)

What a wonderful Christmas it was! It was the best thing in the world to spend it with him and not be alone this year. Unfortunately, I was not able to spend Christmas with my mom and godmother last year because I worked and there was a bad snow storm. So we had Christmas on Christmas Eve and then I went home so I didn't get trapped in the storm. Anyway...Adam and I bought little stockings for each other to go on our cute little pseudo fireplace. We decided to open those before we headed to Ogden for Christmas Eve and Christmas. Adam got me a new SD card because I somehow lost my other one and some socks. I got him a giftcard to GameStop and a Reese's Tree. =) Slyly, I asked Adam what he wanted to get with his giftcard and he told me he wanted to get the first BattleFront which is a Star Wars video game that he loves! Little did he know that I had already bought it for him! Hehe!

On Christmas Eve, we headed to my mom's house. We did some food shopping and then went to the Christmas lights downtown! It was a lot of fun but we were freezing!!! They have cute little decorated playhouses! And one of them had Santa marrying an elf couple! =) We thought it was appropriate sine we didn't get married too long ago.

Then, we went back home and got to open a present. That has been a tradition with my family for a while. Probably just to keep me calm. Ha! Anyway..we went to bed because we didn't want to get caught awake! ;) The next morning, we woke up and opened our presents! It was a great Christmas!!! We had so much fun! After we opened presents, Adam and I went back to bed for a bit and then watched Night at the Museum and Harry Potter 6 with my mom. 

Then, New Year's we spent with Adam's family. It was a little rough but it was a lot of fun and I enjoyed spending time with family! And I got to kiss my love at midnight which was the best part of it all. =) 

I remember saying 2009 was going to be the best year ever because 2008 was not the best! And it turned out to be the best year of my life. I can't believe all of the changes and all of the wonderful events that happened to me. I was very blessed with happiness and love! I sure hope that 2010 will bring me the same! I hope everyone has a very blessed year!! =) And thanks to everyone who made 2009 the best year I could ever ask for! 

Christmas season!

Adam and I have been getting for ready for Christmas time! And the past couple weeks have been so much fun! First, we went to my parents house to put up the tree there! It was awesome! Putting up the tree is one of my favorite things to do and my kitties always have to be a part of it too. It's good times. Then we put up our tree at our place. We got a couple ornaments to commemorate our first Christmas together! 

Then, we had a Christmas party at our ward. We were to make a breakfast item and it was supposed to be a Christmas tradition. Well since we don't have any traditions quite yet, we decided to make muffins. We made cranberry muffins which seem to be our favorite so far and I made eggnog muffins. I don't think they came out all that well. We also were supposed to wear Christmas PJ's but we didn't have any so we bought some Christmas PJ pants with Snoopy and Woodstock on them. =) The party was fun. We ate and mingled and then we sang some Christmas carols.

One of the respiratory therapists, Steve gave us tickets to the Mormon Tabernacle Choir Christmas concert!  It was a blast. Natalie Cole and David Mccullough were the special guests. The concert was great! It was my first time ever going. Steve also sent us to dinner too! We went to Tocanos to eat! We were stuffed! But it was good food! Thanks Steve! 


Now, I am just finishing up the semester and then it will be time to play! =) I am so excited for Christmas. We are going to go to Ogden for the weekend of Christmas! I can't wait! Hope everyone is having a great Christmas, Hanukkah, or Kwanzaa season!! 

I'm officially a Soderborg!! And Monday was my birthday and now it is Thanksgiving

Today is my 23rd birthday! And it has been a great day! Adam has spoiled me most of the day. I had class but he baked a cake we made for my Italian class and brought it up for me! It was quite yummy too especially because it had 20 dollar saffron in it. Ha. Anyway...when I got home, he had put out the fireplace my mom got us as a wedding present. (It is fake). And on top of the fireplace was HARRY POTTER CLUE!! Yay! I love Clue! It is my favorite game and I have most of the versions. After that we had lunch and then Adam gave me a massage which was absolutely wonderful. Then we headed to Ogden to have dinner with my twin, Tanya. (Our birthdays are on the same day that is why I call her my twin.) We went to the Olive Garden and it was so much fun! After we stopped by my mom's house and looked at some wedding photos (just ones that people have posted on Facebook, hopefully the real ones will come soon.) Then we headed to Tanya and Jace's house to have some cake and ice cream which was fantastic!! It was such a great birthday! :) I also had a party the Friday before which was awesome as well! =) We played some games and got pretty competitive! Thanks everyone for the great birthday! It was the best birthday ever!!

Well now today is Thanksgiving! Happy Thanksgiving everyone! Hope you all have had lot of good turkey and other Thanksgiving foods! =) Adam and I celebrated yesterday with a girl from work, Teresa. She had a big party at her house. It was fun and lots of yummy food! Then we played some games! =) Games are always fun! Ha!

Oh and for those who want to know about the wedding, can't forget about that! It was a pretty big day so I'll share how that went! It was perfect, absolutely perfect! The morning was a little chaotic, trying to get everything together and making sure I didn't forget anything. Then we had our rehearsal at 10:30 and that went pretty well. After that we had breakfast at IHOP and I had some yummy pumpkin pancakes which I didn't really eat a whole lot of. Then, it was off to get my hair and makeup done. That was a blast!!! Leiat did a wonderful job! If anyone needs a good hairstylist, let me know! She is great! After that it was off to Carmelle to get things set up and to get ready!! By this time I was pretty calm for the most part but I didn't have Adam's ring or my bridesmaid's presents so I paniced a little! ;) And 15 minutes before the ceremony started, I still wasn't ready! Ha! My bridesmaids dresses all needed to be steamed and that was a task all in its own! So we finally got me ready and my mom was pretty much having a heartattack! I wasn't too nervous yet but as soon as everyone started to line up, I started to freak out a little bit! I couldn't believe that it was here and that all of my dreams were coming true! Oh man! It gives me goosebumps everytime I think about it! The ceremony went off without a hitch and I didn't fall down the stairs! Thank you flip flops! =) I cried through most of the ceremony! I was so happy and I was so glad to have people there that I love! We then stood in line OUTSIDE to greet all the people who were there for the ceremony! I felt so blessed that someone was on my side and gave me a beautiful fall day to get married on! It is what I always wanted! After the line, we took some photos inside and outside and then the party started! It was so fun to mingle and meet people that Adam knew! It was just a blast but tiring! We didn't get out of there until 9:30 or 10:00. I don't remember the exact time. We went outside to get out of there and our car was completely trashed!! Ha! It was totally hilarious! Once we were ready to go, I realized that we hadn't had our marriage license signed! And that is one of the things I was worried wouldn't get done and of course I didn't think about it in the hoopla of everything! So Adam called to see if we could stop by and we found our bishop and had him sign it! Then it was off to Logan! We got there at around 12:30. It was a nice drive. And our room was beautiful and Logan was beautiful! We had a blast! =)

And for all of you who might be waiting for wedding pictures, they will be up soon! If you want to see them you are welcome to check out Facebook and a couple of my friends have posted some! And the real ones are coming soon I hope!

The night before!

It is the night before the wedding! And I feel surprisingly relaxed. I think most everything is done! I hope things are going well at the Soderborg house.

Anyway..today was a great day!! One of my bestest friends in the whole world, Kayla and her boyfriend, Marcus came out this afternoon. Adam and I picked them up at the airport around 12:30 or so! They flew in from PA! It was so good to see them!!! :) After that we met up with my dad, his wife, my half brother, and his wife. It was the first time I've met my dad's wife and my brother's wife. Overall, I have to say it was fun going to lunch with them all. I absolutely adored them! When lunch was over, Kayla and I went and did girly things while Adam entertained Marcus!! It sounds like the bonded and things went well. Kayla and I got our nails done! That was a ton of fun and it was great to catch up. Now give us another week or so and it would be like we haven't been a part for a year.

Once we were done with that, we met up with the boys and went to pick up my cousin, Dan from the airport!! I am so glad he came out! It is so great to have my family here for the occasion! I miss all the ones that couldn't be here. Especially my grandparents!

Now, I am just laying in bed realizing this is the last night I will have to spend alone. I will be spending forever with my best friend. I can't wait. I am so excited to be Mrs. Soderborg. I have the most wonderful man and I couldn't ask for anything better because there is nothing better. Wahoo!!!! I love you Adam!!! :) Thanks for all of your help through this entire process. I am pretty sure you kept me sane for the most part. Thanks for putting up with my bridezilla moments! You are absolutely amazing! And thanks you to all of our friends and family that were such a big help! We couldn't have done this without you all!! This is my last post as Christine Krell. :) Goodnight! <3
