the durhams skip to main skip to sidebar the durhams sunday june 13 2010 first wedding anniversary today was our first wedding anniversary i can t believe we ve already been married for a year my mom saved our top layer of our wedding cake so we decided to be brave and try a bite it actually wasn t that bad just a little dry i m so grateful to be married to my best friend we ve had so many memories already and i know we will only add more today i couldn t help but think about how in a week it will be my parents 30th anniversary i think it s so amazing that two people can love each other so much that they want to spend the remainder of their lives with each other i look forward to each anniversary with dan i love you babe posted by mandy at 9 14 pm 10 comments major updates since it has been so long i thought i should update everyone on what dan and i have been up to i have quit working at big 5 sporting goods and am now employed at schreibers with dan i had been trying to get on their for over a year but haven t been able to for a couple of reasons first they weren t able to work around my full time school schedue and second it s a very competitive place to get hired on at i don t know if it s true but i ve heard that for every one position they hire for there are 150 applicants i am extremely grateful for getting the job and have tripled my earning income each payday which is very exciting because dan and i are saving up to buy a house dan took the lsat law school admission test about a week ago and will find out his score at the end of this month what we are hoping for is that he can get accepted at the university of utah and we would stay living here so that i could continue working at screibers and dan would just commute to school he would quit schreibers and just concentrate on his schooling but life doesn t always work out the way we want so we could be moving anywhere in the country i have yet to graduate from utah state but am only 2 classes away and will graduate in december with an environmental studies degree with an emphasis in wildlife we have planned a trip in august to go to washington dc there is a university out there that might be another possibility for law school that we are going to visit as well well that s what we have been up to lately i will try to keep everyone updated more often posted by mandy at 8 42 pm 2 comments mother s day wow it has been forever since my last post i definately need to keep this blog updated anyways for mother s day this year we surprised my mom with a nice dinner my parents had been in st george for most of the week and were coming home on that sunday so we decided to surprise here at their house with dinner i have the best mom ever and am so grateful for all that she does for me and dan and the rest of my family i love you mom this should explain why i m so crazy and goofy posted by mandy at 8 33 pm 0 comments tuesday march 16 2010 blog 10 tagged so the deal is this i just have to write 10 honest things about myself honest and somewhat surprising or entertaining after my 10 i get to tag people so here goes 1 i guess i will start out with the most obvious one first i love my husband so much he is the best a girl could ever ask for he works long hard hours sometimes 90 a week to provide for us he always compliments me and makes me laugh which another honest thing to add here when i laugh really hard it makes me have asthma attacks it s called laughter induced asthma and yes it is a real thing dan is my best friend and i am so luckly to be his wife 2 i love my family family has always been so important to me it doesn t matter what has happened to me throughout my life my family has always been there for me i have great in laws too i married into a big family and i love it i always wanted a bigger family when i was younger and now i got my wish i have gained 1 father in law 1 mother in law 7 brother in laws 8 sister in laws 12 nephews and 16 neices dan s poor mother had 10 kids just for that i admire her 3 i absolutely love the outdoors i love doing most anything outdoors some of my favorites include fourwheeling mountain biking hiking skiing boating fishing photography camping and having bonfires i don t know what it is about nature and the outdoors but it just makes me feel so full of energy this is a picture i took when we were on our honeymoon in jackson hole 4 i have a fascination with wildlife my major at utah state is environmental studies with a wildlife emphasis which should tell you just how much i love animals i love all wildlife but the ones that i m just captivated by are deer bears wolves and the birds of paradise i know i m such a dork when it comes to this but oh well it s who i am and what i love to do dan sometimes makes fun of me because something will come on tv about some animal and i will just be glued to the tv and be oblivous to anything around me 5 most girls like having a little car to drive around well not me i am a truck kind of girl i love my dodge dakota and almost cried when i had to leave it in idaho last year for about a month and a half my dream vehicle though is a black dodge megacab now that s a sweeeet ride i love driving up in the mountains with my dodge and taking it camping in my opinion once a vehicle hit s 100 000 miles it becomes a beater well i only have 400 miles to go before my baby is officially a beater 6 my favorite tv show is mantracker on the science channel once again this classifies me as a nerd because 1 it s on the science channel and 2 its two people running through the mountains with mantracker on his horse trying to find them before they reach the finish line not your typical tv show but i sure do love it s a goal of mine to be on this show and beat mantracker although the show is filmed in canada so i guess i will have to take a trip there sometime for those of you who haven t seen this show you should watch it so you can know what s it all about new episodes air on wednesday nights at 10 7 a new hobby of mine is playing raquetball who would have ever thought that chasing a ball around an enclosed room and smacking it against the wall could be so much fun it is so much fun to play and i get a good workout too it s great 8 i am a certified hunter safety instructor and have been for just over four years now i mainly just help my advisor from school teach his classes it s a lot of fun and will be great to put on my resume when i graduate 9 i love taking pictures and think it would be a lot of fun to have my own photography business i love going up the canyon and just taking pictures i guess you could say this is another hobby of mine this picture i took up at 3rd dam in logan canyon 10 some of my other favorite things are i love oreos and could eat a whole package in one sitting if i would let myself my favorite actor is christian bale he is smokin hot my favorite movie is 8 seconds i could watch it over and over my favorite flowers are gerbera daisies and last but not least my favorite color is blue these are the people i tag hollie barber kandra plot lisa rigby britnie sphar and jen seegmiller posted by mandy at 6 26 pm 1 comments saturday february 6 2010 dallin s baptism we made a quick trip to vernal this weekend for our nephew dallin s baptism it was so fun to see some of our family that we don t get to see very often it was definately a lot of driving we left on friday about 3 30 in the afternoon and got there just before 8pm saturday morning we went to the baptism and then to a lunch after and we left for home at 1 30 and got home just before 6 i would say that it was worth it though well for the rest of the weekend we will be teaching our sunbeam class and then heading out to my parents for a birthday party for my dad i will make sure to take some pictures to post posted by mandy at 8 06 pm 3 comments sunday january 24 2010 mom s 50th birthday my mom celebrated her 50th birthday this year on january 5th so obviously that meant that we just had to rub it in my brother made some wood crosses to put out in the front yard and my dad painted some different sayings on them this is what they said 1960 2010 dearly departed died of old age and rip i also made a sign that said honk pam is 50 and we hung it up on the garage for everyone to see on the friday before her birthday we all went out to eat at the texas roadhouse after dinner we came back to our apartment for cake and ice cream dan and i had spent all afternoon making a special cake for her let me first give you some background for why we decided to make the cake that we did i absolutly love the tv show cake boss on the show they make some amazing cakes so i thought that it wouldn t be too hard to make a cake for my mom s birthday boy was i wrong it took us about 4 1 2 hours to make this cake and it looked so terrible we tried making an old lady sitting on a wheelchair going over the hill we used rice krispie treats for the body the hill and the wheelchair and oreas for the wheels we left it sitting on the table while we went to eat at the restaurant and when we got back the head had almost fallen off anyways we had a wonderful time together and the cake was a hit we were all laughing so hard i hope you enjoy the pictures posted by mandy at 7 18 pm 4 comments monday january 4 2010 christmas 2009 i m finally getting around to posting some of our christmas pictures although we spent the last two years together at christmas this was our first christmas together as a married couple it s tradition in my family to spend christmas eve at my parents house we have a big dinner open a couple of gifts and play lots of games this year my uncle and two of my cousins came up to spend christmas with us we played the game curses and we all were rolling on the floor with laughter it was hilarious if you haven t ever played this game i highly suggest you make the purchase it is well worth the money on a different note this christmas was a little sad because last year at this time my grandma was extremely ill and we knew it would be our last christmas with her i thought of her often throughout the holidays and longed for her to be there even though it was hard without her i knew she would want us to enjoy the holiday and so we all made the best of it grandma walker grandpa walker showing off his new helmet dad giving his tools a big hug my dad had been joking around with my mom that he was going to buy her a snuggie for christmas she said don t you dare buy me one well of course he bought her one and to make it even better he got her the leopard print it looks to me like she was rather excited to get it my special cousin with the gift dan and i gave him we call him special because of the curses game we played it s an inside joke and won t make sense to anyone that wasn t there sorry dan and i both got ski passes from my parents we can t wait to hit the powder my uncle gave us all weird fuzzy socks this year this is the gang showing them off dan showing off his purple striped socks my brother jason me and my hubby my brother s dog max he fell asleep with the ball my parents got for him max playing with his present the whole gang minus myself stacey showing off a gift posted by mandy at 5 34 pm 2 comments older posts home subscribe to posts atom friends
