I'm not going to go on and on about how bad I feel that I haven't blogged in a year (ouch) and every little thing that has happened in that time. Nope. I'm moving forward (well, with a quick review of the past). I mean I DID have a baby and all. But then I'll move forward with the blog, hopefully doing better with my frequency of posts.<br />
<br />
So here is a year in review.<br />
<br />
Last summer:<br />
Last June we found out we were having a baby BOY! Doran and I were thrilled at the thought of having a son! My sister moved to Provo which was awesome! Having family around is always awesome because they are instant best friends. I worked for the summer at BYU Broadcasting (As I had for the past 4 years of my life.) Doran worked at Wymount Apartments and was an EFY health counselor. We were both extremely busy, which helped the pregnancy go by faster. Doran's brother Devin got married at the end of August, so we all headed up to Vancouver, Washington/Portland, Oregon for the wedding. It was so fun, and the perfect last vacation before our son arrived.<br />
<br />
November 9, 2011<br />
(Full birth story to come in a different post) So in short, our beautiful baby boy was born! Gavin Curtis Sorencsen He was 8 pounds 7 oz. 20 inches long. Handsome. So unbelievably handsome. The delivery went better than planned and Gavin was so healthy and strong.<br />
<br />
Since then:<br />
I got my gall bladder out one month after Gavin was born. Rough times. It was way harder recovering from that than from giving birth (seriously). We spent Thanksgiving with Doran's family up in Salt Lake City. It was fun to show him off and let him meet Grandma and Grandpa Sorensen for the first time. We spent Christmas in Smithfield with my family. It was also really fun and helped give us a break from being new parents. Doran really dove into his school work winter semester, which resulted in good grades and a happy husband. Gavin and I grew and learned together, creating a beautiful and forever friendship and relationship. Doran is also a WONDERFUL father. He always makes Gavin laugh and smile. Gavin wiggles and freaks out uncontrollably every time Doran walks through the door. We really are on big happy family.<br />
<br />
And that brings us to now. Which I will write a different post about. I'll leave you with some pictures, then call it good since my little one just woke up from his nap.<br />
<br />
Thank you all for reading. It means you still care about the details of my life. Hope all is well with you!<br />
<br />
(This is of Gavin at 4 months. Too cute :) )<br />

We find out whether it is a boy or girl in 4 weeks! That is so exciting! We are sooo excited to be able to call it a he or she. Calling it a fruit every week (This week it is a lemon) is getting pretty old. Haha. We found out on St. Patrick's Day, when we were only 4 weeks pregnant! Seeing a positive sign on the test after seeing so many negatives for a couple of months is a good feeling. Look forward to a lot of updates about this wonderful news! GENDER IN 4 WEEKS! Make your predictions people! Doran thinks it is a boy. I really don't know though. Thanks for being patient with my no posts for 2 months. I've been pretty sick. But now I'm feeling good and jumping back into the blogging world.

I didn't graduate until 5:00 that night, and we were the last college to walk, so I had to sit there forever before walking. We went to The Cheesecake Factory that night for dinner and didn't get seated until about 10:30! Sorry family. It was amazing thought.

He's pretty much obsessed with it. He probably goes through a book a week. It takes me about 2 months. I just never find the time. However, I have been reading more and would like to read a bunch of classics this summer that I've never read before. So I took the big step and got a library card for the Provo Library. I usually have Doran just check out my books for me, but hopefully I'll go more now that I have my own card. Here's to reading! <div><br /></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKWI7zVkMHx7R0xOInCYOaGhUl3_z3fBN4Vu02ybz73A8hLi138Uz6brlWSojXeEVZva_Zl-l-LKH94ydgpATNLG5xrVbDprcBwl7JOTmPyQ_hWJYnxxyRAsEWfhrgfWwNkiwg_Lx894M/s400/058.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5609753171223112018" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px; " /></span></div><div>PS: I could have chosen between the adult library card with a picture of the library on it.

Doran and I love the rain so we took our usual walk around the block, this time with a umbrella. What I never realized, however, is that we weren't just taking a walk on normal streets, we were walking on the MOST INFESTED STREETS IN THE WORLD. My family and I recently watched a show called "Infested" on Animal Planet. This show is about these horror stories of people who have been infested by animals and bugs. My coward self may be exaggerating when I say that I think we are infested with WORMS. I understand that worms come out in the rain, but I have never seen so many worms before! I think it is because I usually see them the morning after all shriveled up and dead. These were alive, squirmy worms everywhere! After screaming for half of the walk and refusing to take a step unless the flashlight was shined right in front of me, I started actually enjoying watching the squirmy guys. I didn't pick any up, but I had fun watching Doran play around.<div><br /></div><div><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrn65v_RpTKXqUb57TnnIyU6Ry48FKPHVsVnktsqSXNDC5N4qt95SMdCNt2gNeDHP5UE9Vhpb46aJHapoSivqwuUrbLOjp_9Qa3QkBKePo7XMwNTeah6VqJ0SIfex4DOwDHjjLpaiJ2x8/s1600/DSCN1696.JPG"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrn65v_RpTKXqUb57TnnIyU6Ry48FKPHVsVnktsqSXNDC5N4qt95SMdCNt2gNeDHP5UE9Vhpb46aJHapoSivqwuUrbLOjp_9Qa3QkBKePo7XMwNTeah6VqJ0SIfex4DOwDHjjLpaiJ2x8/s400/DSCN1696.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5584906247845133186" style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px; " /></a><br /><div><br /></div></div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCI2o2VrO_FJxf0t9Hp3hxs4TTCBF4qRkiWmStdeay_gvE5PLH8zi2XTeXU7eCEf6FVrmhkGZeFRPKPAEwiD6-OvoefeTDcYZTrjHPrCPPgRRFJzdvEaqVgVYj-lkc_gJiMfKGNUNBsoM/s1600/DSCN1695.JPG"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCI2o2VrO_FJxf0t9Hp3hxs4TTCBF4qRkiWmStdeay_gvE5PLH8zi2XTeXU7eCEf6FVrmhkGZeFRPKPAEwiD6-OvoefeTDcYZTrjHPrCPPgRRFJzdvEaqVgVYj-lkc_gJiMfKGNUNBsoM/s400/DSCN1695.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5584908165872380706" style="cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px; " /></a></div><div>(ignore our crazy faces)</div><div><br /></div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwPaZqyHy0_sTJHqWu3bsL9ZW8L28Z0WuWeNNcLeIDIUcMIWXIKc2NuWG_dfWpGHfSIhNaDKGCvw1MehEnn6brWLOCEDIBqrf7BT9NmnhT7cHIFq_ca9-qoYwWi4auxefJQXzJLKBeFQA/s1600/DSCN1692.JPG"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwPaZqyHy0_sTJHqWu3bsL9ZW8L28Z0WuWeNNcLeIDIUcMIWXIKc2NuWG_dfWpGHfSIhNaDKGCvw1MehEnn6brWLOCEDIBqrf7BT9NmnhT7cHIFq_ca9-qoYwWi4auxefJQXzJLKBeFQA/s400/DSCN1692.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5584908162746953266" style="cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px; " /></a><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdM4fvLS-1xVDOhcOGDo8wlsd10l-bLVhtn4jABv5uneA-eKqfVltfXIEE26Yhg9KI30GAIqCjVEgcJW-6Lx-l3-gFEM3WUDVejioFwGPIg2E5oPwcWJ7zdkf6cfZzixICy1LJhSX16fc/s1600/DSCN1691.JPG"></a></div><div><br /></div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdM4fvLS-1xVDOhcOGDo8wlsd10l-bLVhtn4jABv5uneA-eKqfVltfXIEE26Yhg9KI30GAIqCjVEgcJW-6Lx-l3-gFEM3WUDVejioFwGPIg2E5oPwcWJ7zdkf6cfZzixICy1LJhSX16fc/s1600/DSCN1691.JPG"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdM4fvLS-1xVDOhcOGDo8wlsd10l-bLVhtn4jABv5uneA-eKqfVltfXIEE26Yhg9KI30GAIqCjVEgcJW-6Lx-l3-gFEM3WUDVejioFwGPIg2E5oPwcWJ7zdkf6cfZzixICy1LJhSX16fc/s400/DSCN1691.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5584908159737265714" style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px; " /></a></div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdM4fvLS-1xVDOhcOGDo8wlsd10l-bLVhtn4jABv5uneA-eKqfVltfXIEE26Yhg9KI30GAIqCjVEgcJW-6Lx-l3-gFEM3WUDVejioFwGPIg2E5oPwcWJ7zdkf6cfZzixICy1LJhSX16fc/s1600/DSCN1691.JPG"></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCzgL00boxqIjhY3jc2t5f_ZsfdTNZOdq8vzUqnWEerD9zov__6EGRPR74eO4zMYad2N3yGR5JJpPVMyz7wf0GrGU8vEz3Ni-X_WvYbyT_mhlq7kzKA2hbb-AxSFRF-Ytyt6MBbzcpahk/s1600/DSCN1690.JPG"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCzgL00boxqIjhY3jc2t5f_ZsfdTNZOdq8vzUqnWEerD9zov__6EGRPR74eO4zMYad2N3yGR5JJpPVMyz7wf0GrGU8vEz3Ni-X_WvYbyT_mhlq7kzKA2hbb-AxSFRF-Ytyt6MBbzcpahk/s400/DSCN1690.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5584908153177258786" style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px; " /></a></div><div><br /></div><div>This semester has been great for me!

I know...It's been forever. Don't worry! We are still alive and doing great! Christmas was wonderful! We got to spend Christmas with Doran's family in Weiser, Idaho. If you don't know where that is, don't feel bad, because the people living there barely know it exists. It is about an hour west of Boise. It was very beautiful up there, surrounded by lots of snow! It was great to get our of Provo and spend some time with family. My favorite tradition of theirs is that they go and see a lot of movies on Christmas Eve. so we got to go see Narnia, Tron, and Tangled (a few days later) while we were up there. We had to drive over into Oregon to see the movies, but that was okay. It was a wonderful vacation and so fun to get to know my new family better.<br />I also got to see my parents on the way up and on the way back. Although I did not get to spend Christmas with them, it was great to see them during the wonderful holiday season.<br />This past week was our first week back to school. For me, it is my last first week back to school. I'm done in April!! I couldn't be more excited. It is kind crazy to think that I'll be a college graduate in just a couple of months. I have loved school though. I love BYU and I love sociology. I feel so blessed for everything I have been able to accomplish and have the opportunity of doing in the past 4 years.<br />Yesterday, Doran and I accomplished some projects that I have wanted to get done for a while. I had an old bedspread that I loved and wanted to turn into a headboard, so we did. And we needed to frame a mirror for our bedroom, so we did. Both projects were pretty simple, cheap, and fast (we accomplished both in one day!) I'm pretty proud of the work we did.<br /><br />Here are the steps we did:<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3R6AqMrnXCPbF19ieFgaTWVr_EoYLqxSC8eQYQ_yZTPpRL0sN_rJV5GSgIOx-xpM5PDJ5ja6VQv8c-iR_Jyj2INj6ABRHhEatR3Y3Ii8jgqVHXNm8RvQnmyznLJoQWTIoQJ7vOPGzuyc/s1600/DSCN1674.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3R6AqMrnXCPbF19ieFgaTWVr_EoYLqxSC8eQYQ_yZTPpRL0sN_rJV5GSgIOx-xpM5PDJ5ja6VQv8c-iR_Jyj2INj6ABRHhEatR3Y3Ii8jgqVHXNm8RvQnmyznLJoQWTIoQJ7vOPGzuyc/s400/DSCN1674.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5560406610773958850" border="0" /></a><br />plywood with some supports in the back.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEw8NLb4N79v4YXEXvonDpkgWUqXdvuqp93gH-ezGENftSAMz2pwNHMKRIpE4qvU-m-8S3o6zrQzesSMhD97FxDKmPUO7o0QKAYCPSXupy2COH-P_c6KjiuDEWgzm-_0K6-j_TRjjGB1Q/s1600/DSCN1673.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEw8NLb4N79v4YXEXvonDpkgWUqXdvuqp93gH-ezGENftSAMz2pwNHMKRIpE4qvU-m-8S3o6zrQzesSMhD97FxDKmPUO7o0QKAYCPSXupy2COH-P_c6KjiuDEWgzm-_0K6-j_TRjjGB1Q/s400/DSCN1673.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5560406605834437954" border="0" /></a><br />1" Foam so it is soft to lean against. :)<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJ6AM67jlDnJ140r8s2Xem7yV-7c89q-J0yGybrwsDBdI6-M6OzuEDwNrtNNg9husuPXFck2mAcI0MbycZSv_FY_uEN8AZJSwyzACEDJ09QsdJn2mVsEDbrctIxKBCyBZ0YQdnT369Enw/s1600/DSCN1679.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJ6AM67jlDnJ140r8s2Xem7yV-7c89q-J0yGybrwsDBdI6-M6OzuEDwNrtNNg9husuPXFck2mAcI0MbycZSv_FY_uEN8AZJSwyzACEDJ09QsdJn2mVsEDbrctIxKBCyBZ0YQdnT369Enw/s400/DSCN1679.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5560406622322504274" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicz0ATbaFxwoohWHvHZgIdf36gG8IOdAxIEIGHUhsnyz92PeI8xJ_Ut1Wx5zVhwEQ9rdymb3dylLRzn-kA0mi3_UzOtRErBt1bzk7Y88B3qhgn-RyiuZjWUlmL5PQE7WBdzTtTyJEZEp0/s1600/DSCN1676.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicz0ATbaFxwoohWHvHZgIdf36gG8IOdAxIEIGHUhsnyz92PeI8xJ_Ut1Wx5zVhwEQ9rdymb3dylLRzn-kA0mi3_UzOtRErBt1bzk7Y88B3qhgn-RyiuZjWUlmL5PQE7WBdzTtTyJEZEp0/s400/DSCN1676.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5560406618306464978" border="0" /></a><br />Then covered it in fabric!<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicVmAGXPN96bhH8TvAoU8cqJsOFammMPvkwZKH54pwfs7kIrBhgV6-h2WAPvKAzIHSt9WL9dqymyb6fTr7V6_iXbOVP7KlqfeqoR5tGoJwQhcLOZpa2xABgzpavWbTsZfFMNma1k_6nF0/s1600/DSCN1681.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicVmAGXPN96bhH8TvAoU8cqJsOFammMPvkwZKH54pwfs7kIrBhgV6-h2WAPvKAzIHSt9WL9dqymyb6fTr7V6_iXbOVP7KlqfeqoR5tGoJwQhcLOZpa2xABgzpavWbTsZfFMNma1k_6nF0/s400/DSCN1681.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5560406630475498274" border="0" /></a><br />And the finished product!!

Since Doran served his mission in Canada, I wanted to do something to celebrate this holiday and to have a chance for him to tell me even more about his mission. We had turkey and mashed potatoes, and i attempted to make pumpkin chocolate chip cookies. However, I made them wrong, which is really hard to do, so they turned into pumpkin chocolate chip cupcakes. I think they turned out great, and so did Doran considering he couldn't stop eating them. We delievered a lot to neighbors since it made so many!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjB-EOgCDbQvUJoMnML12KtIwTwFW-ECaNm8al9FMgzMfGYnjdxJypE8xQ_yQ8qBEpA5VQCXpDpbasiCcJoRa4n3M_0f-SGJNl3HRovoPn27XYhBJlLhHkuhu8LMaCehjRG6ec3m8K32zU/s1600/Canada+Thanksgiving+004.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 330px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjB-EOgCDbQvUJoMnML12KtIwTwFW-ECaNm8al9FMgzMfGYnjdxJypE8xQ_yQ8qBEpA5VQCXpDpbasiCcJoRa4n3M_0f-SGJNl3HRovoPn27XYhBJlLhHkuhu8LMaCehjRG6ec3m8K32zU/s400/Canada+Thanksgiving+004.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5527050290045777602" border="0" /></a><br />I love him :)<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQTvBGijiZiYVis_s4QxZ-bF8FD_tRO9Qqv_D1urlhobXinMbJyFQnU2HgY4_Et80zaIt6MhRcmi93ZpS-tguiLdCn5nlZKHz_6utegWxZXIjuiAY5wp9jYJ1VxXuLRWhH-jEu5xo_V44/s1600/Canada+Thanksgiving+010.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQTvBGijiZiYVis_s4QxZ-bF8FD_tRO9Qqv_D1urlhobXinMbJyFQnU2HgY4_Et80zaIt6MhRcmi93ZpS-tguiLdCn5nlZKHz_6utegWxZXIjuiAY5wp9jYJ1VxXuLRWhH-jEu5xo_V44/s400/Canada+Thanksgiving+010.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5527050278337028642" border="0" /></a><br />Our fancy turkey dinner.....<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixZaKCSijSReKbKQKgHxJbdraeXna5DcqkOI6qoeJaMY9iwCEuWxKj8pohCVjRIWn9OXyX_u5R6SzKN7lw-ze8e94lU2FsjvUDM_Sl8-LH_1E3tA2K5jMjCNONU9WfD-B8luZiRUIaegQ/s1600/Canada+Thanksgiving+013.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixZaKCSijSReKbKQKgHxJbdraeXna5DcqkOI6qoeJaMY9iwCEuWxKj8pohCVjRIWn9OXyX_u5R6SzKN7lw-ze8e94lU2FsjvUDM_Sl8-LH_1E3tA2K5jMjCNONU9WfD-B8luZiRUIaegQ/s400/Canada+Thanksgiving+013.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5527050268911148882" border="0" /></a><br />And our fancy potatoes.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwA-6QLxPmdydce1Kuj-us4A2UXyG4tBTUNU_sekscBXpzTX10VF52HRAeFUNcI_AMBKIM2EDMJPaelMJSJ2N4zNmsiGo_ky27_BmtZ1SvT70PR3LuVkI-7TMmTRdKIjg5vtHzu8U7cLg/s1600/Canada+Thanksgiving+019.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwA-6QLxPmdydce1Kuj-us4A2UXyG4tBTUNU_sekscBXpzTX10VF52HRAeFUNcI_AMBKIM2EDMJPaelMJSJ2N4zNmsiGo_ky27_BmtZ1SvT70PR3LuVkI-7TMmTRdKIjg5vtHzu8U7cLg/s400/Canada+Thanksgiving+019.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5527050253756255170" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQTWfNPDszPkx_hQXHGv8DAQzwX39kCP1rsxElxW1Izds0GlddCL3eYXkBNelHUJer2CkjTJhgu2C5iv4lRl04ZDR1uFEP8rK5PSE0uVE6F8UaXIeqqCvw0X5c0gvxSL5tsL7_lv77ums/s1600/Canada+Thanksgiving+016.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQTWfNPDszPkx_hQXHGv8DAQzwX39kCP1rsxElxW1Izds0GlddCL3eYXkBNelHUJer2CkjTJhgu2C5iv4lRl04ZDR1uFEP8rK5PSE0uVE6F8UaXIeqqCvw0X5c0gvxSL5tsL7_lv77ums/s400/Canada+Thanksgiving+016.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5527051028110824594" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1b-gSdSSkbsbZaT7wc2b8gPP2qPhe-FrRGXRRk0XD6tStTveKW2yv1Xpg8S4nmO2kvybBeOV7DyJTgVUYAB-525UProGHBs6p_KMnaNtDJ5nfLwvFg4IqM4CP_dxEGoQQokHS0AgJUGU/s1600/Canada+Thanksgiving+007.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1b-gSdSSkbsbZaT7wc2b8gPP2qPhe-FrRGXRRk0XD6tStTveKW2yv1Xpg8S4nmO2kvybBeOV7DyJTgVUYAB-525UProGHBs6p_KMnaNtDJ5nfLwvFg4IqM4CP_dxEGoQQokHS0AgJUGU/s400/Canada+Thanksgiving+007.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5527050236924180930" border="0" /></a><br />They seriously look so cute!

He served in the Toronto, Canada East mission. I am so proud of him for all of his service and for the great example his is to me. We decided to make Canadian Thanksgiving a tradition in the future so Doran can sit and talk to our kids about his mission and set a good example for them. I love my husband and had a great time listening to him talk about all of his memories. :) Happy Thanksgiving!Jill and Doran Sorensenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07966712094950957670noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1904065416294259358.post-68011311359589786722010-10-11T23:40:00.000-07:002010-10-11T23:52:25.908-07:00As of Late....We're still slowly settling into our new apartment!

I can't wait for the rest of our lives together!Jill and Doran Sorensenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07966712094950957670noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1904065416294259358.post-68796269781712421452010-08-09T06:06:00.000-07:002010-08-09T06:18:27.379-07:00Spiders.....So, I hate spiders. A lot. Maybe not the most irrational fear, but I think I hate them more than most. On our way out the door yesterday, I noticed a rather large spider on its web outside our door. I asked Doran if he would kill it and so he did (or said he did). He said he lit the web and spider on fire until it all burnt away. I was pleased. Upon returning later that night, he said, "See! No more spider!" He then proceeded to open the door and said "Nevermind!" The rather large spider was right there in our door frame. I stepped back a couple steps and asked him to please kill it so I could come in. He grabbed his lighter (a boy thing?) and lit the spider on fire. Upon hitting the ground, I hear Doran say "oops" as he noticed the spider's 50, not exaggerating, 50! spider babies that were chillin on its back scatter across the tile. He starts squishing all of them as I stand far away repeating, "Oh my gosh..... Oh my goodness.... Oh my gosh..... Oh my goodness.....". It took me a couple minutes to come inside and a couple hours to get the "there are spiders crawling all over me" feeling to go away. I hate spiders, but I love my husband for killing them. All 51 of them.<br /><br />(I was going to post a picture of a spider with babies on its back so you could all see how HORRIBLE it was. However, the pictures gave me the heebie jeebies and made me want to cry again. So I will refrain, sparing both you and I that horrible image.)Jill and Doran Sorensenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07966712094950957670noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1904065416294259358.post-23315549762574354182010-07-16T18:48:00.000-07:002010-07-16T18:56:56.341-07:00Bridal Veil Falls<div><br /></div><div>On Wednesday, Doran and I went to Bridal Veil Falls in the Provo Canyon. I had never been here before, so it was really exciting for me. There is a large, shallow pool of water at the bottom that we sat and put our feet in. It was fun to watch the little kids play in the water and just talk. Because this summer has been so busy, little dates like this help me get through the week. I am so grateful for my hot husband :) and for his wonderful heart.

The truth is, this summer has been so hectic. For once in my life I can say that I can't wait until this summer is over! I'm counting down the days. Currently I am working 35 hours a week, taking 7 credits in school, and going to my internship (at Child and Family Services) twice a week. I'm gone from 5:30 a.m. until AT LEAST 6:00pm every day. I don't like growing up. I don't like it one bit.<br /><br />Doran has been my superhero. He is working very hard and putting in his 40 hours a week at work. However, he doesn't have class and is usually home by 2:30 every day. This means I always get to come home to a sparkling clean apartment and dinner. It's hard for me to switch roles with him like this, but I have to admit it, if he didn't do it, it probably wouldn't get done.<br /><br />July 7th was my Mom's birthday! We were able to go up to Smithfield for the 4th of July weekend and spend some more time with my family. Weekend getaways to Smithfield are really helpful in helping me clear my mind and enjoy life before another crazy week starts again. I am so grateful for my mom who is such an amazing woman. I look up to her more than she could ever know. She is such a strength and support in my life. She is always there when I need her, on good days and bad days, and she always knows just what to say to make me laugh or to make me feel better. I love her and I love every second I get to spend with her. She has always been an amazing mother. I want her to raise my children, because then I know for sure that they will turn out alright. :) Happy Birthday Mom! Thank you for everything! You couldn't be a better example to me. I love you!<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHp3zDclDsLEr_surFXLe6Co9s3EaCkOuGnCtGEb_7CihtNtCzJcCMkGJko5I77hv9n1YjIsDZgfWZq8p10VEkqeEuyAaI0CeYNDy2MjspudEZ9HsPeKSIAKyW1INtOOeHcFsUpU5qdR0/s1600/090905JillOrmeWedding_179.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHp3zDclDsLEr_surFXLe6Co9s3EaCkOuGnCtGEb_7CihtNtCzJcCMkGJko5I77hv9n1YjIsDZgfWZq8p10VEkqeEuyAaI0CeYNDy2MjspudEZ9HsPeKSIAKyW1INtOOeHcFsUpU5qdR0/s320/090905JillOrmeWedding_179.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5491832398313599394" border="0" /></a><br /><br />So yesterday, July 8th, was Doran's birthday. He turned 24! I owed him the world since I've been so busy. I put every stress aside and tried to make it a wonderful day, where he would know how much I appreciate him and how much I love him. It started out with both of us going to work around 6am. I surprised him a couple hours later with 2 dozen doughnuts that I took to his work for him and his coworkers. I then had to go back to work and then had 2 classes that went until 2:35. I rushed home so I could enjoy as much time with him as possible. I gave him a gift (a medical game for the wii) and we sat and played that for a while. We then enjoyed a tasty meal at Tucanos.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMWykFYIE9vVAv77Pi_qPmSryjEbFRpwJ5e4mrP7bH4loV_FUqBSrK39I9aCZgB1NPRhL7uYqmNEd2XmL_rHOFCR0hLUZ6IDZA6GzhUUWEGgYxqkn6fIY8Jp4jcaJU3NZz5iFPtNGAVcI/s1600/logo.png"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 283px; height: 193px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMWykFYIE9vVAv77Pi_qPmSryjEbFRpwJ5e4mrP7bH4loV_FUqBSrK39I9aCZgB1NPRhL7uYqmNEd2XmL_rHOFCR0hLUZ6IDZA6GzhUUWEGgYxqkn6fIY8Jp4jcaJU3NZz5iFPtNGAVcI/s320/logo.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5491804391077085170" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxxFzP0RBGaCk1xtAhUDV3DaToeaOW1YeL1F702Dff-mEpS1LFkJ9jn9CtLFlvsWE3utKbTsmjRbnQynRKz_bGJkIt-qQFbRzNl3iDhjbED6eHAOazLp9czUqb24-yj4kVlvv1jD84O6g/s1600/Doran's+Birthday+013.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxxFzP0RBGaCk1xtAhUDV3DaToeaOW1YeL1F702Dff-mEpS1LFkJ9jn9CtLFlvsWE3utKbTsmjRbnQynRKz_bGJkIt-qQFbRzNl3iDhjbED6eHAOazLp9czUqb24-yj4kVlvv1jD84O6g/s320/Doran's+Birthday+013.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5491815955547590514" border="0" /></a><br />Crazy eyes....<br /><br />Nothing makes my man happier than some Tucanos meat.

He was very happy about this gift, which would have been more exciting if I picked them out myself. However, I had no idea where to even start!<br /><br />I bought Doran a cake from Albertson's. Some wife right? However, I did buy some green frosting to write Happy Birthday on the cake. This is not as easy as it looks, and turned out sort of sloppy, but he didn't care.

I'm sad his birthday is over. I love spoiling him. He is seriously the most amazing man ever. He does so much for me, and I couldn't even begin to thank him for everyting he's done.<br /><br />We've been married for over 10 months now. It feels like yesterday, but then again, it feels like we've been together forever. Isn't that the way it should be though? When I was single, I would always say that I didn't understand how people could get married after such a short time of knowing each other. How is this possible? How do you know you want to be with them after a few months? Well I knew after such a short time with Doran that I could never, ever be without him in my life. And I was right. He is the most amazing man I have ever met. He makes me so happy every day. He came to me at the perfect time and swept me off my feet. I love him so much and am forever grateful for his kindness and humor that makes me smile and laugh every day. So happy birthday to the most wonderful man in the whole world. Forever doesn't even seem like long enough. I want to be with him for 2 forevers. Maybe that can be arranged....<br /><br />Happy Birthday Husband!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjH27XA2kmFA03_a1YFRZgZ64RuZxm0bLJQwR1_3nbrZSJys6x99lx-_fhW2v9NpLdR8a2h4_-SMKhqnu_A6By9KSrsMl2973ErqNtuSoic32BxXLImqaKxSIu37ZZU4VaTuUe7KW7NEAE/s1600/090905JillOrmeWedding_414.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjH27XA2kmFA03_a1YFRZgZ64RuZxm0bLJQwR1_3nbrZSJys6x99lx-_fhW2v9NpLdR8a2h4_-SMKhqnu_A6By9KSrsMl2973ErqNtuSoic32BxXLImqaKxSIu37ZZU4VaTuUe7KW7NEAE/s400/090905JillOrmeWedding_414.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5491836362366493330" border="0" /></a>Jill and Doran Sorensenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07966712094950957670noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1904065416294259358.post-61416648359172490232010-04-16T21:43:00.000-07:002010-04-16T22:30:18.435-07:00Minute To Win It....<div><div>There is a new show on NBC called Minute to Win It.

All the games are posted online so anyone at home can do them. So for date night tonight, Doran and I decided to play our own minute to win it. We chose some of the popular games and went and got the supplies.</div><div><div><div><div><br /></div><div>The first one we did was probably our favorite.

We definitely have fun with each other, which makes school life so much better. We can't wait for summer, especially for vacations and some sun! It's been extremely snowy and rainy this month. This is the first week it has cleared up. We had a great picnic yesterday and got a little bit of sun to stay on our skin. Hopefully we will get a lot more of that this summer.

School is pretty much taking over, keeping us up until 2 in the morning and waking us up around 7. However, I never blogged about Christmas so I can do that. For Christmas we went up to my parents house in Smithfield, Utah. We spent a little over a week up there and enjoyed the company of my family. It was so nice to get away from Provo and relax for a little while before starting school up again. We also got the chance to take family pictures in the freezing snow! And then some in our house. They turned out cute... I love my family...<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfpgEnXmAkP786gCOrwfb0WTCVOcofam7I1-N3_JOoRcr1rFGpmoyZBYDOG_NJgqxsdBiAIvOYKH2ubQ5sxhtxwH0URjrsNE6-3ttv4eb0MwqaARSb9TsxFWqr3Tzr81wfvvPt6cRitUI/s1600-h/Orme_0132%5B1%5D.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 213px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfpgEnXmAkP786gCOrwfb0WTCVOcofam7I1-N3_JOoRcr1rFGpmoyZBYDOG_NJgqxsdBiAIvOYKH2ubQ5sxhtxwH0URjrsNE6-3ttv4eb0MwqaARSb9TsxFWqr3Tzr81wfvvPt6cRitUI/s320/Orme_0132%5B1%5D.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5438580223249402690" border="0" /></a><br />Valentine's day was good, but kind of a bummer considering my husband was not feeling too well. He did make me breakfast in bed (french toast) and wrote me a beautiful letter. Then we went to church (where we are primary teachers for the 6-7 year olds, LOVE IT) and then went to babysit his sister's handsome twin boys. By this time Doran was feeling much better, however, the second we got back home he got sick again. We decided to celebrate Valentine's day today with dinner and a movie. We've gone on lots of little dates in the past few weeks, so I think that makes up for it.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiptFlDYn4weYbzh6yeouUbrHMmu68IiJdjunDQFf7RrHP1Q_9i6K33wxqqr6gEDZ6xtoJFaBbZ8Mkj8RM8jcxEvHjdtYCqNRC2QHboxwVpoKCjZKXCcmH1qkMC3NtQQj_d1o7i4a7rIao/s1600-h/January+2010+074.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiptFlDYn4weYbzh6yeouUbrHMmu68IiJdjunDQFf7RrHP1Q_9i6K33wxqqr6gEDZ6xtoJFaBbZ8Mkj8RM8jcxEvHjdtYCqNRC2QHboxwVpoKCjZKXCcmH1qkMC3NtQQj_d1o7i4a7rIao/s320/January+2010+074.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5438582058344885938" border="0" /></a><br /><br />So there it is... the life of two busy college students. We are having so much fun being married and I can't believe next month will mark our 6 month anniversary. Doran is a wonderful husband and I feel lucky to be married to him. It wasn't a big deal to me that Valentine's Day wasn't a spectacular event this year because Doran treats me like it's Valentine's Day every single day of my life. I am constantly coming home to flowers and candles, notes in my notebook, post-its on the mirror, and smoothies in the freezer. So I guess I'm pretty lucky, because every day is Valentines day to me. :) Happy Blogging!Jill and Doran Sorensenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07966712094950957670noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1904065416294259358.post-46387483719606089072009-12-03T17:20:00.000-08:002009-12-03T18:22:06.480-08:00A Lot To Catch Up On.....I know I havn't updated in forever, so I'm going to do a quick post of our last 5 months. Doran and I had a wonderful summer planning our wedding and getting excited to start our lives together. We were married and sealed forever on September 5, 2009 in the Salt Lake City Temple. It was a beautiful day and we were so grateful and blessed to have so much family in town for the wedding. It was the perfect day! We spent the rest of our weekend at the Little America hotel in Salt Lake. It was so much fun. However, we had to back at school on Tuesday so the Honeymoon was short lived.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhugjt1sWE34hVlqnxnQElC3ybDcFqDdG4qsJaImCg6glZFhxA2NKWvXi4yDvvCKyfFnZ00942pz8JkWGApOU7ASbwWH-S-dYXHN1IJR1W_BjVMfOJwevjqI2vvIxYaOkJA-vK1JSwfPHQ/s1600-h/090905JillOrmeWedding_053.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 214px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhugjt1sWE34hVlqnxnQElC3ybDcFqDdG4qsJaImCg6glZFhxA2NKWvXi4yDvvCKyfFnZ00942pz8JkWGApOU7ASbwWH-S-dYXHN1IJR1W_BjVMfOJwevjqI2vvIxYaOkJA-vK1JSwfPHQ/s320/090905JillOrmeWedding_053.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5411189219975679362" border="0" /> </a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyzuWx4PM5JKadCfCTtRcbppBJk00SItA-kJ-QBjKXkq_SSd_vfnw236Ce8PW7hvchuSwy6YqQoRK7l5Umo_c0nVFLGevCLXABhjJgX701Xlx6d4XDMnW9WNFZAfIo6w_dM0gUAfUoJ3o/s1600-h/090905JillOrmeWedding_061.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 214px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyzuWx4PM5JKadCfCTtRcbppBJk00SItA-kJ-QBjKXkq_SSd_vfnw236Ce8PW7hvchuSwy6YqQoRK7l5Umo_c0nVFLGevCLXABhjJgX701Xlx6d4XDMnW9WNFZAfIo6w_dM0gUAfUoJ3o/s320/090905JillOrmeWedding_061.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5411190214787321698" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHCx_T8g1xnxs66s02gIDWGM7GlWUIBFjf9lbEzaxy7jDgGFUq_-USMUSF_uaefg_HmQVoN_NuxGMijDsLaUEo64_ktMOSoYRmFv-Hj6WZAi_VGN3XIR9VytnrE2nIZcvILRmA6sA48bE/s1600-h/090905JillOrmeWedding_299.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 214px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHCx_T8g1xnxs66s02gIDWGM7GlWUIBFjf9lbEzaxy7jDgGFUq_-USMUSF_uaefg_HmQVoN_NuxGMijDsLaUEo64_ktMOSoYRmFv-Hj6WZAi_VGN3XIR9VytnrE2nIZcvILRmA6sA48bE/s320/090905JillOrmeWedding_299.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5411192049494408850" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1eahghtQbuG6H6IhN-aLy7UMJLKTVkjG4EYmLjoUzvOwXJkmyfyOB7cl_94CmYYRw4AnnBdC6vntdxHGIuj7FvDqNJACiLaVhOw0Ks7qyKFAurTNfFFBJWFQYd68nlvdbmDqjQ1DSPs8/s1600-h/090905JillOrmeWedding_316.jpg"> </a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1eahghtQbuG6H6IhN-aLy7UMJLKTVkjG4EYmLjoUzvOwXJkmyfyOB7cl_94CmYYRw4AnnBdC6vntdxHGIuj7FvDqNJACiLaVhOw0Ks7qyKFAurTNfFFBJWFQYd68nlvdbmDqjQ1DSPs8/s1600-h/090905JillOrmeWedding_316.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1eahghtQbuG6H6IhN-aLy7UMJLKTVkjG4EYmLjoUzvOwXJkmyfyOB7cl_94CmYYRw4AnnBdC6vntdxHGIuj7FvDqNJACiLaVhOw0Ks7qyKFAurTNfFFBJWFQYd68nlvdbmDqjQ1DSPs8/s320/090905JillOrmeWedding_316.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5411193245392179154" border="0" /></a><br />Since we got married, we've been enjoying every second we've spent together. It's really hard to spend lots of time together with both of us going to school and working. So for my birthday weekend (November 1) we spent a couple days at the Zermont Resort up in Midland, UT. We really enjoyed our time together and a weekend away from Provo. The highlight of the weekend was going snorkeling in the Crater. The Crater is a natural hot spring inside a cave. It was so much fun to swim around and watch scuba divers below us.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_5U48ArwpLgZ3FpS-liS9zmQjqhzQDbW4fif3xC-arHMhZyFyiVcMTMzysig9tp4m8GC1iv7v9qEimLA4Js8jPiUgx9dCoBF-N4-H-z7rs0c2HJnJ_qJDxoe8u9jZDruT2L4kxMDghtQ/s1600-h/After+Marriage+147.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_5U48ArwpLgZ3FpS-liS9zmQjqhzQDbW4fif3xC-arHMhZyFyiVcMTMzysig9tp4m8GC1iv7v9qEimLA4Js8jPiUgx9dCoBF-N4-H-z7rs0c2HJnJ_qJDxoe8u9jZDruT2L4kxMDghtQ/s320/After+Marriage+147.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5411195681302146450" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEja3rIQD-tD6ar9NORA1ZLKemnDveDjzxHDUu_jCb6DDG5UrjUiGEpQby9P9NT2QuAn0TZgrDSjNLs5-xxfRR3cEpmn5ouyv0gGD-mKTD5af_JW_1r_nI-IjYFVbYCG0LvQSOJkfweYu70/s1600-h/After+Marriage+153.JPG"> </a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEja3rIQD-tD6ar9NORA1ZLKemnDveDjzxHDUu_jCb6DDG5UrjUiGEpQby9P9NT2QuAn0TZgrDSjNLs5-xxfRR3cEpmn5ouyv0gGD-mKTD5af_JW_1r_nI-IjYFVbYCG0LvQSOJkfweYu70/s1600-h/After+Marriage+153.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEja3rIQD-tD6ar9NORA1ZLKemnDveDjzxHDUu_jCb6DDG5UrjUiGEpQby9P9NT2QuAn0TZgrDSjNLs5-xxfRR3cEpmn5ouyv0gGD-mKTD5af_JW_1r_nI-IjYFVbYCG0LvQSOJkfweYu70/s320/After+Marriage+153.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5411196739751769794" border="0" /></a><br />Thanksgiving break was WONDERFUL! The day before Thanksgiving we went to the David Archuleta concert in Salt Lake. It was a birthday present from my wonderful husband. We both loved the concert and loved the start of a wonderful break. We spent Thansgiving and the day after with all of Doran's family at his sister's house in Midvale, UT. We had absolutely wonderful food and were showered with gifts of homemade jam, homemade spaghetti sauce, apples, and many other goodies. We got to open our Christmas gifts as well which included a beautiful wreath for our door. Doran and I both participated in Black Friday and were able to get decorative pillows for our bed and a new plasma screen TV. I would say we were pretty successful, but tired. We very much enjoyed hanging out with Doran's family and with all our wonderful nieces and nephews. On Saturday and Sunday we hung out with my family. Doran was able to finally meet my Orme grandparents and we enjoyed cheering on the cougars during the long football game. We love our families and feel so blessed to have them in our lives.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEho0p27PgcAHFzlalUqDdLTVafbb1iAcEQ_y7kcPz1e2ffPddstXo4zmoXwgPr6em6Iw_scqTCe4JLYrz7fnkA1KeKRhNG_2l5F5hOMshzRrf_thl5C4l9418IgNQ0ksMVQpgvMQOBthVs/s1600-h/After+Marriage+139.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEho0p27PgcAHFzlalUqDdLTVafbb1iAcEQ_y7kcPz1e2ffPddstXo4zmoXwgPr6em6Iw_scqTCe4JLYrz7fnkA1KeKRhNG_2l5F5hOMshzRrf_thl5C4l9418IgNQ0ksMVQpgvMQOBthVs/s320/After+Marriage+139.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5411199938805250226" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-b5t5IRKA9s9qrqfcJFniAu9rhn2DSynZNCl7T_8E60E7xYsHlzBuEW2c6RmrhFNdNUI9-Kb8Z4tg83gPbt6sGmUmr37HlZQ_1lDGgfSEYVCGUOTPs8NPEciJgXgGgBjNlIdILX9SJYc/s1600-h/After+Marriage+110.JPG"> </a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEho0p27PgcAHFzlalUqDdLTVafbb1iAcEQ_y7kcPz1e2ffPddstXo4zmoXwgPr6em6Iw_scqTCe4JLYrz7fnkA1KeKRhNG_2l5F5hOMshzRrf_thl5C4l9418IgNQ0ksMVQpgvMQOBthVs/s1600-h/After+Marriage+139.JPG"> </a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-b5t5IRKA9s9qrqfcJFniAu9rhn2DSynZNCl7T_8E60E7xYsHlzBuEW2c6RmrhFNdNUI9-Kb8Z4tg83gPbt6sGmUmr37HlZQ_1lDGgfSEYVCGUOTPs8NPEciJgXgGgBjNlIdILX9SJYc/s1600-h/After+Marriage+110.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-b5t5IRKA9s9qrqfcJFniAu9rhn2DSynZNCl7T_8E60E7xYsHlzBuEW2c6RmrhFNdNUI9-Kb8Z4tg83gPbt6sGmUmr37HlZQ_1lDGgfSEYVCGUOTPs8NPEciJgXgGgBjNlIdILX9SJYc/s320/After+Marriage+110.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5411200374574925890" border="0" /></a><br />Until Christmas, we are just finishing up our classes and praying that we do well.

Doran had never been to Vegas so I made sure he got the full tourist experience. We hung out in Henderson, my home town, on Friday and I showed him around there. On Saturday we went to a buffet, went to the strip for some shopping, rode the New York, New York rollercoaster, watched the Bellagio fountains, went to the Bellagio gardens, and visited M&M World and the Coke Factory. We were pretty exhausted by the end of the day, so we went back to my friend Natalie's house where we were staying. Doran enjoyed playing video games with Natalie's husband Austin, while Nat and I caught up on girl talk. Sunday we went to my old ward to see some old friends, took a quick nap, and drove back to Provo just in time for me to go to work at midnight! It was a busy weekend, but so much fun!<br /><br />In the pictures you will notice that my hair is a little darker than usual. I got it done this past week by a friend. I told her to dye it a little ligher then my natural color, however it turned out nearly black. It has faded a little and i'm starting to get use it being dark. I hope it looks ok for our engagement pictures this Saturday! :)<br /><br />We continue to count down the days to our wedding. We still have lots of plans to go, but we are enjoying every minute of it. Doran started a new, 2nd job at the Cinemark Theaters today so we are going to have to get use to not seeing each other as much as we have before. It will be good for me to start school next Monday so I am busy while he is working close to 70-80 hours a week. It really makes me cherish the times that we do get together and makes me so excited to be able to live with him so I am always there when he gets home! We love being engaged, however I feel we will love life a lot more once we are married! 82 days until the best day of our lives!<br /><br />Us at Caesar's Palace. Doran loved the Roman statues and loved telling me all that he knew about the ancient Roman Gods.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDuPTudCh_plwjsqBHvYo2-IGkLJby1RMmPNp9VeDl8cqvmJWWIJGUCxS4IM6OVYG4TEcqkcycxX9meWpl30KM10Xl1bes940WylA_EYKz4GCjcsPgxEBPqCcavdjxuFUbrrey-ZLzl00/s1600-h/Vegas+with+Dor+Dor+136+-+Copy+%283%29.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDuPTudCh_plwjsqBHvYo2-IGkLJby1RMmPNp9VeDl8cqvmJWWIJGUCxS4IM6OVYG4TEcqkcycxX9meWpl30KM10Xl1bes940WylA_EYKz4GCjcsPgxEBPqCcavdjxuFUbrrey-ZLzl00/s320/Vegas+with+Dor+Dor+136+-+Copy+%283%29.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5348146888360000050" border="0" /></a><br /><br />A good picture of my dark hair!

Some of them turned out cute and the other ones.... well... it made me a little nervous to reproduce. Haha. Anyways, I thought I would share with you our Sorensen children. Enjoy!

We started off just having fun with the stuffed dead animals, taking funny pictures with them involved. We then moved on to the bugs.... and if you didn't know Doran is afraid of spiders. Well conveniently there was a video on about spiders so we sat down to watch it. During the movie he put his arm around me and while he did that I softly rubbed my fingernail on his hand making him think it was a spider. I thought it would make him just jump a little bit...nope!!! He almost broke the glass display behind us with his elbow!!! It was really funny to me, but he didn't find the humor in it. But the coolest thing happened we sat down and watched a live display about invertebrates. The guy doing the show had a tarantula and the worlds biggest species of cockroach; aka the Madagascar hissing cockroach! He asked if we wanted to hold them, and after some coaxing and motivating we were finally able to do it. It was pretty gross and scary, but at the same time it wasn't as bad as I thought. After the presentation we were talking about the other shows and he took us down to the basement and showed us all of the other cool animals. We were able to even hold a 6'6" boa constricter snake!! That's 2 inches taller than Doran!! It was a great night and intellectually satisfying as well!! What a great date! And it was free! :)<br /> As for the wedding plans, they are coming along great! Every plan we make is one more step closer to getting married. We can't wait to get married!<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-nx6oyInTiOqIfr-JofmPOGQ2_z7fnoVaQo18DC5hv_rJIb_LiR4_YKBc38mOpKGDDgrx4J_T2P7gc3nZU3VY4kOIQzbS8z_Hm9xAvEIlMc0ZecoQd4gmBt1453EZTYo2y2-IDhVOVS4/s1600-h/Museum+028.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer;

I'm so excited that we are engaged because now we can have a married blog! I've always wanted a blog, but felt it would be boring and pointless if it were just me, so hopefully the two of us will bring enough excitement to fill up one blog! Doran and I met on January 23, 2009 on a blind date. We hit it off that night and have seen each other every day, except for 2, since. We got engaged on May 2, 2009. He proposed in the cutest way possible. He had my roommates take me out shopping at Smiths. While I was gone he snuck into my apartment and put a rose and a note on my desk. I was way shocked to see it when I got home. I knew he was going to propose on Saturday but I thought it would be later. But on the note he said we had had a perfect relationship and the symbol for perfect was 10. So he picked out 10 places for me to go to, to recount our relationship. At each place a note and a rose was waiting for me. The note talked about all the great memories we had there. At the end he said that we were</span><span style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153); font-weight: bold;font-family:arial;font-size:100%;" > going to get married for eternity so we would always have something else to fall in love with! So to go along with that idea he had me go to a new spot. A park with a cute gazebo!!! I got there and it had purple balloons on it, which is my favorite color, and in it was a single rose in a vase with a little Hershey Kiss path to the rose. There was one last note that said, "I know we havn't been here before but this is a place we will always remember and think of as special, because this is the place that I propose." I looked up and he was walking toward me! Being me I started to cry as he got down on one knee, he looked up at me and said "Jill Ashley Orme, Will you marry Me?" I was still crying I could barely say yes! It was perfect!
