Graduation 2011

2011-05-26T09:51:00.002-07:00

Graduation 2011 has come and gone! Jeff went all the way to Missouri for Bryan's graduation from Central Missouri University. It was so great that he got to go and Joe and Grandma Betty were there too! I was sad to miss it but traveling that far this pregnant wasnt a good option! But I made Jeff take my pink camera and take pictures! He had fun and said that it was good to see where Bryan had been all this time!

Then we traveled to Rock Springs to see my brother graduate from Western Wyoming Community College. It was a good time and great to see him finally get it done! Now it is time for "real" life I guess! We are all so proud of them both! Congrats to our brothers! We love you!

Easter Weekend

2011-04-24T16:34:00.003-07:00

Jeff and I went to the Grand America again this year for brunch! I was a great time and good again. Didn't do much else, came home and relaxed and watched a movie! I got to pinning two quilts so I would have something to do when the big playoff game is on tonight. I can only watch about the last half of it, but we have to watch it all when it is playoffs and the Lakers are playing!

We also took some belly pictures today! I cant believe that we haven't done that yet! I feel like my belly just barely popped a couple of weeks ago anyway! As you can see we had to take one of Jeff's "pregnant" belly too! It is funny, we always joke that he has more pregnancy symptoms than me! He better have sympathy pain when I am labor too!

Happy Easter!

Jeff at Easter Brunch, he looked handsome as always!

Me with the scary Easter Bunny! He wasnt a very cute one!

2011-04-11T15:44:00.002-07:00

SO.... Where to begin... I am so far behind that I uploaded pictures today from November! Like as in Thanksgiving (and Valentines Day!) I am so far behind! So I am posting pictures from way back when! Still thought some of you would enjoy! I am not working anymore so hopefully I will be able to keep up a little better! "Little" being the key word! Once Little baby Curran comes hopefully I will be on top of it! Jeff and me are just boring I guess so not much to talk about! So far everything is going good with the pregnancy! She moves alot and even Jeff has gotten to feel her! It is exciting, we are just ready for her to be here! We are 24 weeks this weeks so we are moving right along! We got over the half was point! Wednesday is another appointment, so I will update!

Heart Beat!

2011-02-03T14:52:00.002-07:00

Yesterday went in for a quick visit to see how I was doing with our little partial placenta previa and we got to see the baby and hear the heart beat!!! It was a fun and exciting surprise! It was so fast! So baby is still doing good, moving around a ton every time we see it. I cant wait to feel it ( I know everyone says I say that now but I will be changing my mind when it is kicking me all the time!) I also cant wait to find out what it is! It is killing me, I keep saying him because I think that it is a boy! But you never know!

We are having a BABY!

2011-01-28T13:55:00.004-07:00

OK!!! This is by far the worst that I have been! It has been a crazy 13 weeks... Because we are going to have a baby! I promise that I will keep up on my posting from now on with updates on the baby! Here are some of the new pictures that we got!

One Year Anniversary!!!

2010-10-03T20:09:00.003-07:00

One Year! Can you believe it? It has flown by! And had been the best year too! Jeff is such and amazing man and I cant tell you how lucky of a girl I am! To get to be with your best friend everyday is the best! I love him more and more everyday and cant wait to start a new year together! (I dont know if we are considered newlyweds anymore???) So speaking of an amazing husband, he planned a romantic anniversery trip to Napa Valley! It was so much fun! We went for five days, kinda! Two were spent traveling mostly. There is so much to do and see there we didnt know were to start! It is so beautiful and pictures dont do justice! So here are all the pictures we took and I cant wait for anniversery #2!

Babysitting Boston

2010-07-17T13:01:00.003-07:00

Jeff and I got the privilage of babysitting my cousins little guy, and it was only for a couple of hours but it was very action packed! We watched Wipeout which he just though was so funny, and then he wanted to take us on a walk! So my cousin has two dogs and they had to go and we also had to take his truck... Well we only make it half way around the block when we had a little accident! Boston fell and had a little road burn, BUT you would have thought he broke is arm, he was screaming bloody murder and we couldnt get him to stop. So Jeff in the end had to have two dog leashes,a big toy truck and the dog poo while I carried Boston back home! Once we got home and put three Toy Story band-aids on everyone was ok! Then we went and got snowcones to make it all better, even though I think it was mostly for me! In the end it was fun to be around Boston and have a little adventure! ( Just dont ask Jeff if it was fun! )

Jeffs idea of babysitting!

4th of July Weekend

2010-07-17T12:56:00.005-07:00

Our 4th of July Weekend was quiet. We usually go back to Rock Springs for the weekend but my mom had to work so we ended up just staying in Utah. Jeff planned a fun weekend for us though... We went to some events in Murray and Sandy and watched the fireworks from our balcony at home. We ate tons of junk food that day from hot dogs and nachos to a really bad $10 navaho taco, so we were ready to go home that night!

But the best part of our weekend was our little romantic picinic that Jeff planned! He is so cute! I got the cutest picinic bag for my bridal shower and have been wanting to use it so we finally did! Jeff packed us a little lunch and champange and orange juice and we made mimosas! It was the perfect way to end our weekend!

A beautiful day at the park!

Cheers!

Thanks hubby for a great weekend!

Jackson Wedding

2010-06-28T17:33:00.005-07:00

Our good friends got married this weekend, so Jeff and I got to take a little vacation to Jackson! It was a beautiful day, a beautiful wedding and a beautiful bride! It was so good to see everyone that we miss so much in Jackson!

My handsome husband!!! He looked so good, but doesn't he always!
Me and Brianna--- I miss all the girls!
The beautiful bride
It was so pretty in Jackson everything was green and it was such a nice day... I miss Wyoming!
Me and Ashley

So I should have gotten more pictures of Jeff and his friends but you know how that goes, guys don't like to take pictures like us girls! It was a fun weekend and just the start of our busy summer!

Father's Day 2010!!!

2010-06-28T17:26:00.002-07:00

For father's day this year we went to Rock Springs and this time we got to drive and not have the hassle of flying!!! ( Thank goodness!) It was so much fun as always, but this year we didn't do our annual trip to Superior, we just had it at my parents house. My dad made steaks and they were yummy and we played games and had lots of fun! I am so glad that we live close now so we can go to all those things! I love getting to see my family and I love you DAD!!!

Jeff's Indy 500 Trip

2010-06-07T19:40:00.004-07:00

This year the trip to the Indy 500 was my Mom Kathy and Me. Thanks Mom for induring the long hot day at the track. We started the day by leaving St. Louis at 4am for the long drive to
Indianapolis which is about 4 hours away. After getting to our seats we walked around and Kathy took this picture of the Indy 500 sign. Once the race began the heat was on. They said that this years race was the hottest temperature ever for a race at 96 degrees with a track temp of 135 degrees. Mom hung in there with only one trip below for some shade and a frosty. Overall it was a great day at the track.

Jeff and Pop

On Monday I made my annual trip over to Washington MO to see Grandma Liz and Pop. We had a good visit talking about baseball, geneology and the family. It is always good to see both of them and have Grandam Liz catch me up on everyone in person.

Me and Grandma Liz!

Grandma Betty

Also while in Washington I saw Grandma Betty and my uncle Carey and my aunt Diane. We had a Memorial Day BBQ at Carey's and I got some of those great Midwest pork steaks. They are hard to find outside the state of Missouri. It was good to see them and it was also good to see the Curran family history book that Diane put together.

Jeff, Carey, and Diane

Nephew and Uncle

Finally got a picture of Ben while I was at home. He is busy with his summer activities so it is hard to get him in one place. The joys of being 19.

I also needed to apologize to Mom and B because I did not do what my wife told me too and get a picture of us together. I totally forgot. It was good to hang out at the house, have dinners and watch sports on TV. I really enjoyed my Indy 500 trip and the only thing that would of made it the best would have been if Tina was with me.

Memorial Day

2010-05-31T13:29:00.003-07:00

Memorial Day Weekend at my grandparents ranch is always so fun! I haven't been able to go for a while but I got to go this weekend and it was a blast! Even though I miss my husband terribly, ( he is in St Louis ) it was so good to be with the family! We had girls day and dyed hair and did nails and waxed, and the boys went down to the river and caught crawdads! We flooded the yard, which as long as I can remember was the best thing about going to grandmas in the summer time! The little kids love it no matter how cold the water is! And the little kids are so cute! I cant get enough of them, I took a million pictures of Bella, but she is at the funnest age and so much fun! And as always we ate lots and lots of food! I cant wait to see everyone again for the camping trip!

Bras for the Cause

2010-05-31T13:18:00.003-07:00

Jeff and I went to Jackson for a fun weekend. It was so much fun! I was so good to see everyone and be back to Jackson, we have so many great memories there and so many great friends there. We went for an event called Bras for the Cause, its to raise money for breast cancer awarness. The salon that I use to work for does so much for the event including the hair and makeup. I went to help with the makeup, even though all the models were so beautiful and didnt need my help! It was really fun to be back at the spa, it really makes me miss all the girls there!

All of the beautiful models! (They are very brave to model in front of everyone in bras!!!)

Lakers vs. Jazz Game

2010-05-11T19:52:00.003-07:00

Jeff, my dad and me went to the Jazz vs Laker game on Saturday. It was super fun, especially since the Jazz lost! ( By one point ) It was all of our first playoff game and I am glad that my dad got us the tickets and got to come. So if you read Jeff's blog you would know how we feel about the Jazz and the Jazz fans--- they are the worst! We both decided that unless there is a game here that we really, really, really want to see, we wont be going to a Jazz game anytime soon!
Waiting for my dad to come and get us for the game! He was cutting it close!
This was my sweet Pau Gasol shirt Jeff got me! I have to have a favorite in every sport and he is mine! I don't even like the Lakers but I do like me some Pau Gasol!
My two favorite men looking so handsome! ( My dad doesn't really like the lakers but we didn't want to leave him out since Jeff and I both got shirts! He is a Suns fan so he wont be wearing this shirt any time soon!
The final score, isn't that nice to look at!!!

Safety First!!!

2010-04-30T16:15:00.002-07:00

OK so we are some dorks!!! We decided to buy some bikes two weekends ago, and let me tell you it was a huge process! It WAS nice outside, key word "was", and I had been wanting to go on a bike ride, so I talked Jeff into going to look at bikes. My only concern was that we were going to get these bikes and use them as much as our gym passes! So we were in Target for like 2 hours deciding if we should really buy them, and then on top of trying to decide if we should buy them, a old man wanted to talk to us, but Jeff got lucky and got out of the conversation! So there I am for a half and hour talking to this strange man and my husband is just sitting far enough away to not have to be in the conversation. Do you think that he came and saved me? NO!!! He didn't even attempt to... So I told him one day that it would come back to haunt him.

Long story short, we bought the bikes and safety helmets ( Jeff's idea ) and have only been able to go on one bike ride because the weather is so bad! ( And i forgot how much a bike seat hurts your butt!!!)

Mr. Cool

Happy Easter!

2010-04-04T17:21:00.007-07:00

Jeff and I went to the Grand American Brunch for Easter! It was amazing! If you have never been you need to go! Besides the great atmosphere the food was delicious and there was so much of it. It was a fun Easter thanks to Jeff since it was all his idea!

Jeff dressed in his Sunday best!

The flowers there were so beautiful! This huge arrangement smelled so good!

The dessert table was huge and there was a chocolate fountain!!! That's where I wanted to stay the whole time! It was hard to save that for last. I wanted to take this chocolate bunny home!
They had awesome ice sculptures
Jeff really liked this orange juice glasses in ice!

Thanks again Jeff for having such a great idea!

Happy 6 Month Anniversery!

2010-03-18T13:52:00.004-07:00

To my husband-

I love you, I admire you, your strenght, your dedication, your drive. I love the way you treat me, cherish me, adore my weaknesses and my quirks. I love the way you remind me that I am everything you hoped for, that you love coming home to me at night, that you kiss me and hold me close. I love that we rely on each other in life and we are strong together. I love that you let me have bad days. I love that you are everything that I could have ever asked for in husband, best friend and one day a father of our babies. I love being able to share my life with you every single day. Thank you for always making me feel so special and beautiful and loved. Thank you for loving me despite my faults. But best of all, I love that you are my husband and I know the best is yet to come.

Last weekend Jeff's Mom and step Dad Bernie came to Salt Lake City for a visit. These are a couple of pictures on our trip to the Great Salt Lake.

So I have been the worst blogger! I have had these pictures since my dads birthday in January! I decided that I need to start doing a better job!

Jeff and I went to Rock Springs for my dads birthday and our annual Wallyball Tournament! I was a fun weekend, even though my team didn't win, again! My Uncle Jerry made some delicious mendo for the event and my sister brought some carrot cake. It is always good to go home and see everyone!

Merry Christmas!

2009-12-31T14:58:00.002-07:00

So another christmas has come and gone! I got a good present this year, a new husband! We went back home to Rock Springs for Christmas. We got lucky this year my mom was off on christmas day, kinda, she worked all night chritmas eve and then came home chritmas morning. We open presents and then started cooking, since christmas was at our house this year! My mom out did her self, she made such a good dinner for all of us! Everyone came over and ate and opened presents! And then I think we all ate again!

The day after Christmas we ate more food! Mexican food, which is what we usually eat on christmas day, but we did it a little different this year! Once again good job mom! Everyone came back over again and ate and played marbles, which is something that the Torres family plays every chance we get! It gets very loud and very competitive! Its so fun!

It was hard to leave but not as bad as usual, at least we got to drive home and not fly! So overall it was a great christmas! Hope that you all have a Happy New Year!

And most of all my dad AND brother came which is a miracle. My dad makes everyone laugh and never stops teasing one of my cousin, Chet, which most of the time deserves it!

We are finally in Utah

2009-11-04T13:21:00.002-07:00

So after a long hard month of deciding to stay in Arizona or move to Utah, we decided to go to the cold mountains and move to Utah. We have been here for only a couple of days and I already miss the warm weather! But bring around my family has helped alot and I think that we made the right decision!

It was a long trip up to Utah but we made it on Sunday. We are just living at my Aunt Toni and Uncle Geralds right now and we are very thankful and lucky to have them let us stay with them! Yesterday we went apartment hunting (its not fun!) and found the cutest apartment! It is brand new and I love it! My dad hasnt seen it yet but he is already not a happy camper, its on the second floor, and for some reason Jeff and I have alot of stuff! So he is dreading the move, again! I told him that he only has to move us upstairs once and the next time it will all be down the stairs, he didnt think that I was very funny!

I cant wait to get all of our new wedding stuff and decorate our new home! Jeff got a transfer
with AT&T in downtown Salt Lake City and he starts on Monday, he is excited to be in a new store. I am still on the hunt for a job and hope that I find one very, very soon!

Foianini Reunion

2009-08-17T17:45:00.005-07:00

This was a very busy weekend! Besides my bridal shower my family decided to have a little family reunion! It was at my grandmas house in Lyman and it was good to just sit around and talk with everyone. I think that my mom, Aunt Toni and Grandma love it the most though, they are one in the same! Since it was an Italian reunion there was more wine there than a liquor store, so even my dad had a good time! There is only 4 siblings out of 11 of my grandpa siblings, and three of them were there. Some of the grandpas nieces and nephews came all over to, it was a good day.

My grandpa and his sister, Eve

Isnt this the cutest picture! How cute are my cousins, and they didnt even have any wine!!!

Bridal Shower

2009-08-17T17:20:00.010-07:00

This weekend was my bridal shower! It was so fun and my sister, my maid of honor, gave me the best shower. It was so cute and I couldnt have asked for a better day! It was suppose to be at my moms house in Wyoming, but due to the wonderful Wyoming weather we had to move it to the union hall down the road. Even though it isnt the cutest place my sister, mom and dad made it look so good!
The colors for the shower were red and black and Marylin Monroe and James Dean themed, because I love them! I got to see alot of people that I dont get to see alot and got alot of great presents. I just want to thank everyone who was involved! The food was amazing, the decorations were amazing and all of you there are amazing. Thank you for making my day so special!
I cant wait til the big day, it is coming so soon!

This was a game we played, they had to make a wedding gown out of toilet paper!

My cute flower girl, Trini! Her team won the dress game

Even cute babay Bella got into the toliet paper! She is the cutest thing!
My cute decorations!

2009-08-06T17:32:00.008-07:00

Jeff and I went to Las Vegas this past weekend to surprise our friend Tony, for his 30th birthday. It was such a good time and it was so good to see some of our friends from Jackson. WE MISS YOU ALL VERY MUCH!!! We accomplished our goal and Tony was very surprised! We went and ate at Ceasar Palace and then went out til 4 in the morning, which was way to late for me and Jeff! We are already turning into an old married couple! It was such a fun trip and we cant wait to see everyone again at the wedding!

Paging Nurse Tina...

2009-07-23T15:31:00.003-07:00

Ok not yet anyway, but I am on the path to get there someday! I had my first week of Phlebotomy ( drawing blood ) class this week. It is 7 weeks of class and 4 weeks of an externship. I wanted to do this so I could be doing something in the medical field while I am going to nursing school. So thats the plan, to get done with Phlebotomy School, move to Utah with my soon to be husband and become a nurse!

Ok I also have to say that I couldnt look more like my dad in this picutre!!! If you ever see him with his glasses on they are always slid down the bridge of his nose! He seems to have them on lot these days! I love you dad!!!

My Sweet Baby

2009-07-12T20:13:00.003-07:00

Since Tina has been doing such a great job with our blog I wanted to write a few words about the best woman in the world. I'm the luckiest man in the world to be able to marry and spend the rest of my life with Tina. Everyday I wake up and realize that I love her more and more each day. I cannot wait to marry her and start our next chapter as a married couple. She is the most amazing person in the world and everyday she makes me a better person since she is in my life. I love her so so much and I wanted to let everyone out there know how much I love her and can't wait to spend the rest of my life with her.

Also I wanted to thank everyone that has been involved in the planning of our wedding. There needs to be a special thanks to Teri, Gibby, Kathy and Bernie for all of their love and support to make this the most special day in both of our lives. Tina and I can't wait to see everyone in September.

Wedding Dress Weekend!

2009-07-12T19:55:00.006-07:00

I finally found a wedding dress this weekend!!! I waited til the last minute to find one but it has been done! My mom came to hot Arizona this weekend ( the hottest yet.. up to 117! ) to help me find a dress, we started our adventure on friday, we went to our first appointment and I still cant believe we found it on our first try! We ended up canceling the other two appointments that we had. It was so nice because it freed up the rest of the weekend to look for my moms dress and bridesmaid dresses, didnt have any luck there!

I am so happy that my mom came down to the hot desert to help me! She is the best. I wouldnt have wanted to do it with anyone else and it was a great weekend. I hate taking her to the airport and saying goodbye, the visits are never long enough, but I know that she was glad to go back to wonderful, cool Wyoming!

Fathers Day!!!

Happy Fathers Day! We just got home from Utah and Wyoming for fathers day. It was soooo good to go back home. I love seeing my family and being in that clear Wyoming air! Jeff and I flew in on friday night and my Aunt Toni came and picked us up and we stayed at her house on friday night. My dad, mom, sister, and grandpa came on Saturday and picked us up. Jeff, my dad, my sister and grandpa went to Hill Airforce Base to the plane museum and me and my mom and aunt went to look for bridesmaid dresses ( no luck! ). It poured rain all day so we didnt get to go to the races in Utah that my dad wanted to go to

We also got our engagment pictures on Monday and my grandparents ranch. It was so fun and I cant wait to see them!!! We took them in some really neat places, by the huge gas cans, rusted fences, by the hay and even in a old car trunk. I cant wait for everyone to see! I even saved some of my Grandpa Gino's old, old, cowboy boots that my grandma was about to throw away ( I know can you believe she was actually going to throw them away!!!! ) and wore them in some of our pictures. I cant wait for all of you to see them!!!!

My future husband

Its not everyday that you get to fall in love with your best friend. I have the most amazing man that any girl could ever ask for. I never thought that I could find someone that I could love that would love me back unconditonally.

Jeff you make me happier than I could ever imagine and more loved than I ever thought possible. I am so in love with you and I can wait to call you my husband!

Jeff's trip to St. Loius

2009-05-27T12:22:00.004-07:00

Jeff just got home from his annual trip to St. Louis and the Indy 500. He had tons of fun and it was good to see all of his family that are back there. His brothers Joe and Brian went to a Cardinal game on Friday night then headed to Indy on Saturday. The race was on Sunday and Jeff said it was hot and muggy. But he loves to go no matter what! He came back to hot and dry Arizona on Monday night. I missed him so much and I told him that he cant leave me for that long anymore! I am glad that he went and had fun and that he is back home!!!

We are engaged!!!

September 19th 2008 was a very very special day in each ot our lives. It was the day we became engaged to be married. Yet it took planning and execution to pull of the perfect proposal. We looked at some Tacori rings in July that year, we both saw a beautiful ring that day and Jeff knew that it had to be Tina's ring. In late August the ring was ordered and Jeff began the prep work. First he had to get to Idaho Falls to get the ring, which he told Tina he had a work meeting. With the ring in hand he now had to meet with Tina's parents Gibby and Teri. On Sept. 12 Jeff frove to Pindale, Wy to meet Tina's parents for lunch. Again Jeff lied to Tina and told her he was playing golf. With Tina's parents permission it was time for the big day. We had planned a dinner at Couliar in Teton Village, Wy. To get up to the resturant you have to take a gondola ride up to the top of the mountain. Jeff knew that his would be the perfect spot for the proposal. On the ride up to the top of the mountain Jeff got his 6 foot 1 inch frame down on one knee and asked Tina to marry him. She said YES!!! Of course! We are getting married on September 19 2009!!!
