Greg and Elisha

Our family is GROWING!!

2012-01-23T22:16:00.001-08:00

We are excited to announce that our family will be getting larger! I found out in November I was pregnant. And just today we found out that we are having a baby girl. We are so excited we can't stand it. We are so grateful that Heavenly Father has trusted us with this responsibility. I can't wait to hold and snuggle with our little one. My due date is July 6th. I have to admit I am a little nervous, but mostly excited. Greg is so cute he has been doing his homework, checking all review websites for anything from our car seat to the crib making sure that they are the best and safest possible! We will keep posting as our adventure continues.

Changes...

2011-02-23T20:04:00.000-08:00

This month has been one full of changes, but I'm very pleased to say they have been good ones! First, I graduated from Provo College with my Associates Degree in Medical Assisting. At first I was very hesitant to go into the program, but I am so glad that I did it. I love the field and think it is the perfect fit for me. Second, I got a job in Medical Assisting! I am currently working in the Central Utah Dermatology Clinic. I LOVE my job. I have enjoyed every minute of it and it's only been a month. I am amazed at how much I'm learning. We see a lot of people with skin cancer, so wear sunscreen people! I also get to work with teens who are suffering from acne and get to see their face when their confidence is restored. I think best thing by far is the people I get to work with, they are incredible. I look forward to going to work everyday. So yes a lot of changes but they have been amazing.

Greg surprised me on Valentine's Day by sending flowers to the clinic.

Thanksgiving 2010

2010-11-28T20:46:00.000-08:00

Thanksgiving is always a great time of year. This year we went down to Cedar City to visit Greg's Grandma Cecile. I love going down there to visit, even though it's only a few hours away it just far enough away to feel like a vacation. This year we brought my sister Ashley with us to enjoy the fun. As always there was great food and a lot of laughs. I love that I married into a great family that I feel at home with when I can't go to Kansas. While down in Cedar City Greg's cousin Jenny taught us how to make these really cute hair bows that are so easy to make.

This Thanksgiving I also experienced Wal-Mart on Black Friday. Even though they only thing I got was towels it was hilarious. The highlight of the Wal-mart was the guy wearing a camouflage jacket, missing half his teeth that for some reason needed almost thirty Crockpots. I don't know how much I would trust a $3.00 Crockpot but hey it was a steal. So I ended up with towels, Ashley got a George Foreman Grill, and Jim got some heating blankets, and a lot of games. I would say we did really well!

As per tradition I had the opportunity to help put up Grandma Cecile's Christmas trees. I think I could put up hundreds of Christmas trees, I love them. Well I hope you guys had a great Thanksgiving as well. We sure do have a lot to be thankful for!

Externship!

2010-11-12T10:52:00.000-08:00

I interviewed today at the IHC Provo Intsacare and was approved for my externship. I am so excited to be able to work with their team of great employees. Best of all I will be able to use all of my skills and gain a lot of experience.

We're Famous!

2010-11-09T20:28:00.000-08:00

Well at least our apartment is. This afternoon when I came home from school their were a bunch of cameras and makeup chairs lining our apartment. A production company is filming a movie and chose our apartment as the location for a few of the scenes. When we asked what film they were shooting or what company they are from, they didn't really give us a good answer. All we know is that it is an independent film about teenagers. It is now 9:30pm and they are still filming. Maybe we will end up seeing our apartment on the big screen one day. Feel free to ask for autographs!

Two Years

2010-08-23T11:23:00.000-07:00

On August 8th, Greg and I celebrated our 2nd anniversary! We celebrated with a relaxing weekend in St. George. I had actually never been to St. George so it was definitely a nice change of scenery. I love the deep rich colors of the rocks and the shopping is not too bad either. We also took time to go and see the temple while we were down there, and I must say I think it is now one of my favorites!

We also did our fair share of swimming while down there. All the kids in our hotel's pool had cool goggles so of course we had to get some, and I must say they definitely make swimming more fun. And of course we had to show up the kids in the pool!

When we got home Greg surprised me with a framed picture of our temple. I must say he has really good taste.

Two years and we are still going strong! I love you Greg!

Going, Going...Almost Gone

2010-08-05T22:58:00.001-07:00

That's right we are leaving for the weekend to celebrate our anniversary! I'm so ready to go and bask in the nice St. George sun. Homework is done and swimming suit is packed.

Manti Pageant!!!

2010-06-29T20:48:00.000-07:00

This year we decided that we would go down to the Manti Pageant. Greg and I rally love going down to it. The pageant is okay...the main reason we go down is to see our temple. I completely love seeing our temple all lit up and simply glowing. Ashley was also visiting and had never seen the pageant. We met up with some friends of our Jerry and her husband Luke. Both Greg and I and Jerry and Luke were sealed in the Manti temple so it was a treat!!!

Amazing!!!!

Luke and Jerry

Sisters!

Pictures of the Apartment.

2010-06-29T20:40:00.000-07:00

Here are some pictures of our new apartment. We are still working on the finishing touches, being in school and working slows down the process a little. We are still really enjoying having an apartment all to ourselves. We are really enjoying our ward and completly love how welcoming everyone has been!

It's what we do....

2010-05-11T17:17:00.000-07:00

The last month for Greg and I has been a busy one. It seems like April just flew right on by. So here are a few things that we have been doing.

Moved into our new apartment. We LOVE it!
Started my third term at Provo College. Almost done!
I can successfully complete a full blood and urine analysis.
Attended both Lila and Owen's baby blessing. We love have two cute babies to hold and love.
Had an awesome visit from my parents. My only complaint is that it was too short.
Went to the Sugarland concert and won backstage passes to see Julianne Hough. It doesn't seem that cool but it was my first time winning anything.
Greg finished up spring semester at UVU and now is in his summer semester.
We are currently obsessed with the t.v. series Chuck.
I'm tackling the job of consistently cooking healthy dinners every night. It's been good so far, I haven't run out of recipes yet.

Theres not a whole lot that is new or exciting but we are keeping ourselves busy. We are loving the progression we are making!

Yeah...we have an apartment!!

2010-03-17T16:01:00.000-07:00

We came ,we saw, and we conquered. Yes, that is right folks we now are the proud renters of our very own apartment. And I must admit in my eyes it is perfect. Greg and I have been searching for the last couple of weeks for the perfect apartment, and let me tell you it has not been easy. We have toured several very bad apartments and met a few very weird people living in them. At one particular apartment we were thrilled to tour it with four other couples. After the tour the owner told us and this is no joke, "Whoever can get the check to me the fastest gets the apartment." Yeah we totally just walked out of that one while the other couples rushed for the checkbooks to see who could write the fastest.

I rather enjoyed handing over our deposit today to our very nice new landlord, knowing that I would not have to look at another apartment for a very long time. Our apartment is a very cute two bedroom apartment with a lot of space, and the best part is it is right in our price range. We will be moving in about a month which gives me plenty of time sort and get rid of a lot of junk that we have accumulated.

I definitely think that Greg and I have both grown from this experience. I definitely learned to be patient. I think Heavenly Father just wanted me to wait it out a bit, because I'm sure in the future it will come in handy.

THE HUNT IS ON.

2010-02-22T16:42:00.000-08:00

So Greg and I have the hideous task of finding an apartment. We've started looking, and most we look at are okay but not that great. I know that we'll find one, in the mean time I hate the search. And for people selling apartments, I have a few pointers:

1. A washer and dryer do NOT belong in the kitchen.

2. If you can't fully extend your body in a room, there is no way a couch will fit.

3. Just because you have painted does not mean you have "remodeled."

4. An extra drawer is not tons of extra space.

I really hope the search comes to an end and soon. I know we'll find a great one that we'll love.

Our New Nephew!!

2010-02-14T14:39:00.000-08:00

This Valentine weekend has been a pretty eventful one for Greg and me. We had the opportunity to welcome our new nephew Owen Keith Chamberlin. He was born on Thursday morning and is the cutest little guy. He weighed 7lbs and was 19 inches long which surprisingly is the smallest baby that Karyn has had. Thursday night Greg and I went up to the hospital to enjoy smothering him with kisses. Makayla, Andrew, and Emma are so excited to have a new brother; they can't stop smiling.

For our Valentines date we went to Red Lobster (which is a favorite) and then went and saw the movie Valentines Day. It was pretty good, not bad for a chick flick.

IT'S THE MOST WONDERFUL TIME OF THE YEAR!

2009-12-28T11:38:00.000-08:00

This year I decided that I would make us gingerbread houses from scratch. It was really fun to decorate, not so much to make the gingerbread. I'll do it next year if someone else bakes the gingerbread!

Ours is the one in the middle, as you can see it doesn't hold a candle to the Tillmann mansion on the left.

Opening my presents from Greg! Muse tickets!

Greg and I are sporting our Christmas Eve pajamas.

I think that it is finally time that I update our blog. November and December have just flown by for us. I swear I blinked and it was Christmas. Our Christmas was perfect. Every year I am just so amazed at what wonderful families we have. We spent Christmas with Greg's family this year, and of course we had an amazing time. We ate good food, received great presents, and had so much fun spending time with family, laughing and playing games. I did get a little homesick for my Chamberlin Christmas so hopefully next year, weather permitting we will be going to Kansas.

This year Greg and I have been extremely blessed. I thank my Heavenly Father everyday that Greg Reese came into my life. He supports me in all of my decisions and overall is just an amazing man. He works so hard for our family! I love him so much! We are so grateful that we have a loving Heavenly Father, that watches over us and our families. Sometimes when we don't think we need help we still get it. He has definitely watch over Greg and I and given us great opportunities this year. We love all of our family and thank them for all their love and support. We hope that each one of you had a great Christmas! We have a wonderful year ahead of us!

Halloween Fun!

2009-10-30T22:41:00.001-07:00

This year I convinced Greg that we should carve pumpkins. We had a lot of fun and I think they turned out AWESOME!!!
I also decided that while we were carving pumpkins I would try out this new gingerbread recipe from Kneaders. It is the best recipe ever! We will definitely be using this recipe for gingerbread houses in December. THEY STAY SO SOFT!!!
So Greg's dad decided that he would carve a tomato. I didn't believe that he could do it, but he definitely proved me wrong. He even put a candle in it! We call it Jack-O-Tomato!

Here is the recipe if anyone wants it:

Ingredients:

1 cup butter
1 cup white sugar
½ cup dark molasses
1 t. cinnamon
1 t. nutmeg
1 t. cloves
1 t. ginger
2 eggs well beaten

1 teaspoon baking soda

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

1. In a large saucepan, cream together the butter, sugar.
2. Add molasses and spices – mix well
3. Stirring constantly bring to a boil.
4. Remove from heat and allow let cool to a lukewarm.
5. Stir in eggs and vinegar.
6. Sift flour with baking soda into molasses mixture to form smooth dough.
7. Chill several hours or overnight.
8. When you are ready to bake roll out dough to ¼ inch thickness. Cut with a gingerbread cookie cutter.
9. Place on baking sheet lined with parchment paper
10. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes until slightly brown on the edges. Do not over bake.
11. Allow cookies to cool for 5 minutes on the cookie sheet before placing them on a cooling rack. Let cool completely before frosting.

Our New Car!!!

2009-10-20T22:18:00.000-07:00

So about two weeks ago, our Intrepid decided that it wanted to die. Greg was on his way to pick me up from the airport, when it just decided that it was done. Not only did we get home at one o'clock in the morning but we were out a car. We decided together that our best option was to buy another one. I know it probably sounds silly, but this was one of the biggest decisions that we have had to make together. Neither one of us had bought a car before, so it was an adventure. I have decided that I hate salesmen, but don't worry Greg does nothing without research. After days of browsing online we spotted this gem! Today we went to the dealership thinking that we were just going to test drive it, but we ended up driving it home. We are very excited about this purchase. We now feel like we are officially adults. We went on a long car ride tonight, which is the best thing ever!! And best of all we don't have to rely on other people for rides!!

Why can it not be FALL?!

2009-09-03T13:39:00.000-07:00

So I was thinking today as I got in my 400 degree car, that I am totally ready for Fall. Football is starting and it is still hot, what is up with that? I love everything about Fall. It is the perfect time of the year. All of the colors are so pretty. I grew up in Kansas which is a little lacking in the tree area so I love that we are in Utah and get to see the trees change. My mother-in-law got a new centerpiece for her table yesterday that has all the fall colors in it. It is so pretty! I keep waiting for it to get a little bit cooler but I get nothing. I have recently bought some really cute clothes, but cannot wear them until it gets cooler. I have tried but it is way too hot for a sweater. I told Greg the other day that maybe if I start wearing warmer clothes the weather will magically change. I'm not quite ready for the months of winter but I could definately use some Fall!!!

Anniversary Part II

2009-08-23T10:59:00.000-07:00

So I don't know if I have mentioned it but Greg is AMAZING. For the second part of our anniversary Greg took me to Park City for the weekend. We have been so busy the past month with moving and working that we really haven't had a lot of time to spend together. We left Thursday night after work and got to stay in Park City until Sunday morning. Our hotel was awesome it had a fireplace, kitchen, and a jacuzzi. It was the jazz festival this weekend so on Friday we got to listen to some jazz music from our balcony. We spent a lot of time relaxing and enjoying ourselfs. It was the perfect vacation. Now back to work and school!

Greg=Hott!!

One Year!!!!

2009-08-12T10:33:00.000-07:00

This year has flown past for us. We have loved every minute of it. I am so thankful for Greg and for everything he does for me. Even though we have only been married a year I can't imagine my life without him. For our anniversary Greg suprised me once again. He took me to the Tree Room at the Sundance Resort. It was so good and I loved the atmosphere. Greg ordered elk meat and I had wild boar, it was delicious. He also picked out a beautiful necklace with my birthstone in it. I am so glad I married someone with great taste in jewlery! My present to him was a Neal A. Maxwell quotebook and a Playstation 3 remote keyboard. The next night we enjoyed going to Cirque Du Soleil with Greg's family. It was AMAZING!!!! We enjoyed spending time with everyone. Thanks Jim and Marilee!!!

I love how much Greg and I have grown this year in our friendship and love for one another, and I can't wait for the rest of eternity!!!!

San Franciso!!!

2009-06-22T10:22:00.000-07:00

Greg and I had the opportunity a few weeks ago sto take a road trip to San Franciso with Wes, Kristin, and Tiffany. We had a blast. Greg and I have decided that we love San Franciso. It was definately one of the best vacations of the year. The seafood was AMAZING!! There was so much to do and definately not enough time. Greg and I will definately be going back! Thanks Kristin, Wes, and Tiff is was so much fun!!!!!

Cleveland

2009-05-07T21:37:00.000-07:00

Cleveland was awesome!!! We loved every bit of it. We loved spending time with Kristin and Wes and of course the kiddos. Let's just say Kristin is the best tour guide ever. We had loads of fun playing with Lucy and Reese and seeing the sights and of course I got a cavity filled by the best dentist ever!!!!!! We just want to say thanks for a great week Kristin and Wes!

Greg thought this was funny....I don't think Reese did.

Kirtland!!!

GO SOX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

KANSAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

2009-04-16T10:30:00.000-07:00

We had a blast in Kansas!! It was great seeing the family. A week was definately too short. Here are some of our adventures.

On Thursday Greg and I drove to Hays to visit Annie and Kevin. They took us to the Sternberg Museum. It has different dinosaurs that were found in Kansas. We LOVE Annie and Kevin!!!!

On Tuesday we got to celebrate Kaytie's 1st birthday at Pizza Hut with the whole family!

Updates...

2009-03-24T21:48:00.000-07:00

After much deliberation I have decided that I am going to start blogging again. So here is and update on the Reese family. Greg and I are both still working our little buns off. It seems to take up most of our time and we don't like how is keeps us apart most of the day, but it is helping to get us through college, which is always a good thing. When we are not working we love spending time with one another. At the end of the day we love just relaxing and watching movies together. It is definately my favorite time of the day! I look forward to the time when school is over and we have time together during the day. We can't complain though life is pretty good we are still as in love as we ever were, and we are living comfortably in this economy. We also are really excited for April to come!!! It looks like it is going to be a pretty exciting month for us. The first week of April we are taking a trip to Kansas to visit my family. With our wedding and everything that has gone on this year we haven't been able to go home. My family was here during the wedding but everything was so busy that we really didn't have a lot of time together. I am so excited I can't stand it. A week is so long to wait!!! Every time I call home my dad gives me and update of the countdown. Also at the end of this month Greg and will be visiting Cleveland. Wes graduates from dental school at the beginning of May. Lucky for me I have a lot of cavities so we are flying out so that I can be his patient for his state boards. We're really just excited to go to Cleveland cavities being filled are just a plus. I have never been to Cleveland, so I am excited to see the sights!!! As soon as we get back I promise I will get pictures up and blog about all of our adventures!

These are our awesome 3D glasses. On my birthday Greg took me to my first 3D movie. Let's just say it was AMAZING!!!

BYU VS Wake Forest

2009-01-04T15:06:00.000-08:00

For Christmas this year one of our gifts was tickets to some of the BYU basketball games. Yesterday we had the opportunity to go to the first one. BYU was playing Wake Forest. It was suppose to be a really good game...which it was. The game was pretty close the whole way through which makes things fun. It was also the second largest crowd that BYU basketball has seen. Our seats were with Charles, Valerie and Sydney. We had fun watching Sydney cheer and dance all through the game. She is so dang cute!!! Although the night was fun, BYU did lose.

Ps. The Utes did, however, win the Sugar Bowl...Greg is so proud!

Christmas with the Family!!!!!

2008-12-27T16:54:00.000-08:00

Greg and I had a wonderful Christmas. We loved being able to spend it with Greg's family. We got lots of great presents and had lots of good food. I also enjoyed being able to join in on Greg's Christmas traditions. We bothed agreed that we love Christmas together, and are looking forward to many more to come!!!

Finally, here our some wedding pictures. We want to give a special thanks to Valerie for her wonderful photography! Enjoy!

Greg's Birthday!!!!!!!

2008-12-22T14:33:00.000-08:00

Greg turned the big 25!!!!! For his birthday I got him the first and second season of 30 Rock, which he claims is better than The Office. I don’t know if I agree with him but I do enjoy watching it with him and listening to him laugh really hard. It makes my day. So I have to give myself some credit, I had the hardest time getting the first season. I thought I would be a smart shopper and price around to see where I could get the best deal for both seasons. I found one store that was the cheapest for the first season and one that was cheaper for the second season. Let’s just say the smart shopper thing bit me in the butt. I bought the second season at the one store and then went to get the first season at the other store. By the time I got to the store, they were sold out. I spent the next four days searching for a store that was not sold out of the first season. I finally got the last copy reserved at Target!! Who knew that 30 Rock was that popular?
That evening went out to dinner with Greg’s family to celebrate his birthday. It was really fun. The night before, Greg and I had gone out to eat just the two of us so that we could celebrate together. Greg is amazing and I am so grateful to have him in my life. He is so special to me. I love Greg Reese!!!!!

Ps. Just ignore the Utah hoodie.

Christmas

2008-12-22T14:21:00.000-08:00

Here is our beautiful Christmas Tree. Thanks to Greg’s mom we had a little bit of Christmas brought to our apartment. I love looking at it with the lights off. One of my favorite things about Christmas is the trees. It would not be Christmas without a tree. I have been so lucky this Christmas I have had the opportunity to help decorate multiple trees. My favorite one by far was Greg’s grandma’s tree. She has a tree with nothing but Lenox glass ornaments. It is so pretty and the best feature is that is spins so that you can see the whole tree. I love everything about Christmas. I have to say it is probably one of my favorite holidays. I love how everyone at Christmas is so happy. Even though I complain about it I do love the snow. Not so much the driving it but everything else is awesome. Growing up in Kansas my siblings and I always hoped and prayed for snow on Christmas. It was rare that we ever got enough snow that actually acumualted more than an inch. In Utah, however, they have the seasons right. There is the perfect amount of snow for Christmas. I am so thankful for the birth of our Savior and for the opportunity that we have been given to celebrate and honor his name!

2008-11-23T20:55:00.000-08:00

On Halloween this year we spent most of the day with Greg's family. Before we went to his house we did get a visit from Charles and Valerie. They had taken Sydney Trick-or-treating and made a visit to our apartment so we could see her cute costume. She was a ballerina, and boy was she the cutest ballerina ever. The rest of the night we went to Greg's house. Greg's dad had a mask and was scaring little kids from the ward when they came up to the door. It was so funny. Greg and I then went out to eat with Greg's parents. We ended up going to a Mongolian restaurant. It was quite interesting. I have never eaten out on Halloween and now I know why. Let's just say there are some really crazy people in this world and they all come out on Halloween.

Our Apartment

2008-11-23T18:22:00.000-08:00

Greg and I our living in Provo while we both are finishing school. We have had so much fun setting up our first apartment. Although it is small it's our home. Greg made sure that we had all of our essentials the bed, our TV and his DVDs. Our first purchases included a TV stand and a book shelve. I enjoyed watching him put them together. When we first got to our apartment our apartment's carpet was really gross so the management told us that they would be putting in new carpet. They failed to mention that it would take a month so we were without furniture for about a month. Greg's parents were great and supplied a lot of the furniture. For our first apartment it's not too bad.

Our Honeymoon!!!!

2008-11-23T17:38:00.000-08:00

Flaming Gorge

For our honeymoon Greg and I went to Flaming Gorge. Greg's grandma owns a cabin up there and lent it out to us for a week. We loved every minute of it. We relaxed and enjoyed the scenery. We went swimming and even took a dam tour. Our only hiccup was a flat tire about three days into the trip. We did a little off- roading and the Civic's tire just couldn't handle it. We really enjoyed everything about it!!

This one is at a lookout by the cabin.

2008-08-01T12:57:00.001-07:00

So I thought that you guys need to hear how Greg and I met. We first met each other in September of 2007. It was a Sunday night and my friend Karlie had asked if I wanted to go and play games with this group of guys that she had been hanging out with from work. I decided that I had nothing better to do so I went. This guy Tyson came and pick me and Karlie up and then drove us to a guy named Marshall's house. When we got there we sat on the couch for like a good thirty minutes until I ask why we were just sitting there. Marshall said that his friend Greg was just watching the end of a Red Sox game and that we were waiting for him. My first impression was why the heck are we waiting for this one guy? Let's just leave him. That was until he walked out. As soon as I saw him I immediately texted Karlie (who was sitting on the other end of the couch) and said that he was so good looking. The rest of the night was really fun we just hung out and played games.
So we kept on meeting up with these guys for a couple of reasons. First, Karlie was really starting to like Marshall, and they were really fun. There was not a night that we hung out that Greg did not make me laugh. So I started to really like Greg. He was so funny and good looking. We had a few complications, with other girls and other guys getting in the way of us finally dating. But eventually we found each other. The first night we held hands was amazing we were watching the movie, "Without a Paddle." Greg was sitting beside me it took him half of the movie to finally hold my hand. When he finally did it was AMAZING!!! After I held his hand I still wasn't sure whether I actually really liked him enough to date him. It only took me a week to figure out that I really needed to go for Greg. Yes... I know I'm kind of retarded. The next week I knew that I liked him a lot. So I just went for it. The rest is history from that day on, except for Christmas break when I went to Kansas, I was never without him. We grew to love and appreciate one another. In February we decided that we loved each other enough that we wanted to be together for eternity!!! So in March we flew down to Kansas so that Greg could meet my family. My family completely loves Greg!!! We are getting married August eighth in the Manti temple. I could not be happier. Greg is the most amazing person I have met. He loves me so much that is just unimaginable. He is the greatest person ever. I am so lucky that my Heavenly Father has blessed me with such a man!!! I LOVE GREG REESE!!!
