Family Photo's

Here's the whole fam bam together again!
We had a great time down in Virgina Beach with everyone! We took these pictures because who knows when we will all be together again with a photographer. We were suppose to take pictures on the beach this year but it poured rain the day we were suppose to take them. Plan B was Carole Ann's house! It worked just fine.

Look at Jonathan's cute smile!!

The girl taking the pictures took a few of Jordan and me cause it was our two year Anniversary that day! They are really casual but I like them. We haven't had a good picture taken together since our wedding day!



So everything is going well with us! We are really excited for the holiday weekend! I love long weekends when I don't have to work! I have a three day week next week because Monday is a holiday and I took Friday off! Jordan is going to Chicago for a business trip so I am going to head down to Virgina Beach again to visit Carole Ann, Jon, and baby Jonathan again!! I'm excited! Jonathan is crawling now! Its so cute!
Here is some exciting news, we are getting Internet at our apartment on Saturday! Yayy finally we don't have to borrow anyone's anymore and barely get a connection!
I can't believe it's already Fall again! But you know what that means! GLEE and all the great shows are going to come back on! I am super excited! Hopefully my work schedule won't interferer with that too much! This year has just flown by! Next thing we know it will be the new year!
Crazy!

August...So Far

Okay okay remember how I said I would post more often..well this is more often. We don't have Internet yet at our apartment so it is a bit harder to post. I am still planning on posting pictures of our new place...I just have to take them first. We don't have any cool decorations up yet so I am kind of waiting for that to happen before I show the world where I live. :)
August has been good to us so far. Its already gone by so fast. Where is the time going? The first weekend in August we met Carole Ann, Jon, and my dad at the temple followed by a great lunch at Chipolte. We had a great time hanging out with the family and playing with baby Jonathan.
Last weekend we met some friends (Kristy and Justin) up at the temple and went to Mongolian BBQ afterwards. Oh how I love that place. I could eat there everyday! Once we finished with that Jordan and I tried to find Costco...lets just say don't go to Costco in downtown Arlington. Our GPS was taking us in circles. Literally we pasted the pentagon about 5 times. We finally found it and remember how we are in down town..well parking at Costco is the same as parking to walk to a memorial. Lets just say that turned into about an all day event! It was fun though...and I got my frozen yogurt that I always have to have when we make a Costco trip!
This weekend my brother David is coming. He will be here for the next two weeks. Were really excited to see him. I haven't seen him since graduation back in April. We are going to go down to VA beach next weekend to play! I finally get a few days off from work. Yayyy I love getting paid not to work!
by the way..work is going great. I have been teaching the step class. I am def not the best stepper but it is coming along pretty well. There are definitely up and down weeks with that class but it has been getting better every time. I just hope in the future I can look back at this time and laugh! It can only get better right? Lets hope!
So here is what I will be blogging about in the next few weeks. Since I am blogging about blogging I will be updating more often!
1. David coming
2. Beach trip
3. Our 2 year anniversary
4. New apartment pictures
Okay now I am holding myself to this!

The Whole Month of July..opps

Well I have to say I did it again. I didn't post anything for the longest time. Ever since I started working full time I forgot all about my blog!! It wasnt until my friend/old roommate Ashley told me I needed to update my blog more often! haha she is right! I do! And thats what I am doing Now. I don't have a ton of pictures up yet. The few I have will do for now though! This post is going to be the entire month of July. I can't even remember back into June. Im pretty sure all I did was work. Nothing that special! We have had some fun times though this month! Where do I Begin?
4th Of July: For the 4th we spent the weekend up at my sister-in-law's place in Reston VA. We stocked up on so much food and had a great weekend! Danie came into town on July 1st so it was great to have her here with us. Some of the things we did were canoeing, eating, watched fire works, had a BBQ, took naps, ate some more, went to see Eclipse, and watched Ashley and Devoughn run a 4th of July race!
Danie's Birthday: Danie celebrated her birthday with us at the beach! We went down to Virginia beach for the weekend. It was great because not only did we get to relax on the beach but we got to see my older sister Carole Ann, Jon, and baby Jonathan! It was fun to see them and hang out! I hadn't been to the beach in 2 years so it was a much needed trip. I got very very sun burned and it was very hard to teach my abs class because I couldnt lay down on my back. haha my class understood though! Danies birthday cake was so big we ate it the entire weekend. I am still pretty sure there is still some at the Packham's house. We should probably throw that away now!


Melanee, Danie, Jordan, and Ashley at the Reston Town center
on the 3rd watching a concert some jazz people put on!

Don't you just love his outfit. haha boys...

All of us at Ashley's house. Davoughn is taking the picture
thats why he is not in it!



Danie and her yummy cake we ate all weekend!



All of us together! So Fun!


Another exciting thing that is happening this weekend is we are finally moving into our own apartment. We have been living with our families for the past 3 months. Jordan has been extened a job offer at the same company he is interning at. We were so excited that they wanted to keep him. I mean who wouln't he is so talented at what he does! We move in this weekend. We will be living in Fairfax. It is about half way inbetween both our jobs. No more waking up super early to get to work on time, and no more being seperated durign the week so I don't have to drive an hour and a half to get to work.
I will try my hardest to post more often! Also once our apartment gets set up I will post pictures so everyone can take a look at our new home!!
Well thats all for now!
(Hope you liked it Ash!)

The Latest With Us

This is my nephew Jonathan. I found this picture on my camera and thought it was so funny. I hope my sister doesn't mind I'm posting it. haha








Well I have yet not blogged for a very long time. Last I told you I got a job. Its going so great, and I love working there. Its a lot of fun. I just found out that I love teaching step aerobics. I was always afraid to teach step because you have to be right on with everything and if you mess up everyone knows but its so fun. I teach the beginner class and its now my favorite class to teach.


I am also teaching a circuit training class, a body sculpt class, an ab class, and a kickboxing class. Its going well. I had my first health consultation on Thursday and my first personalized exercise program also. Its fun to design work outs for people and see how they like them.


Jordan is doing great also. He is working hard, and it seems like the company really wants him to stay once his internship is over. He hasn't been really searching for any other jobs so he will probably stay there until he finds something else. He wants to start applying to government jobs like the FBI, CIA, and others.


Our living situation has been kinda interesting since I got the job. We have been living down in Stafford, Virginia with Jordan's family because its only about 25 minutes from where Jordan works. Well since I have been working up in Rockville Maryland its about an hour away. I have to work 3 days a week early in the morning...like 5:45am so I have been staying with my parents in Maryland because its only 15 minutes from where I work. So its kinda annoying because I am in Maryland a few days a week while Jordan is down in Virginia. On the weekends we are in Virginia though. We just need to get our own place. We are trying to find the best deals though so we don't wanna rush into anything. Also its been hard to look since we both work full time. I have been researching online but everything is super pricey. Not like Rexburg when we were all made Hyde Park was going up to $575. haha man I wish that was the case here.


So that's whats been going on with us as of late. My sister and her husband and Jonathan just moved to Virginia Beach and we cant wait to go visit them. Hence they live by a beach so that will get me down whenever I can!! We miss them up here but are super glad they live close enough to visit often.
Carole Ann surprised us this past week and came up for a few days with Jonathan. Jon had to go out on a ship for a few days so she decided to come up. It was a lot of fun playing with Jonathan, going on walks, and being at the pool.



This is our new car that I promised I would put a picture up of.
We really like it. We had a little scare though last week. My neighbor said she heard on the radio the dodge caliber was being recalled for the same reason as the Toyota's were. We researched and we found out it was the 07 model and we have the 09 so we were okay.


And one of our favorite things to do....DUH go out to eat!! Jordan took me to this really yummy Italian restaurant and we got the West Coast pizza. haha it was Hawaiian pizza. It was super good and whenever I look at this picture I want to go there!!!


For Memorial Day we went to Kings Dominion. Its an amusement park over here. It was so much fun. We rode a ton of rides. It was really hot but we didn't care. I didn't take any pictures. I was having too much fun to remember about my camera.
That's what has been going on with us!
We really like it here and I love the HOT weather.
Until next time!!!

I have a job!!!

Well can I just tell you how busy I have been. I was extended a position last Friday as a Fitness Specialist for a company called Corporate Fitness Works!! I interviewed for this position the whole month of may. I had three interviews and finally they extended the position to me. We were so excited!! Now since Jordan works in Springfield, and I work in Rockville Maryland we were in a bit of a pickle when it came down to the car...So we got a new one!!! Yayyyy We went car shopping all day last Saturday and picked out a car. Its a Dodge Caliber and I just love it!! Its sorta like a mini SUV. It gets good gas mileage and it was in our price range. I started work on Monday. I was getting trained to I had to go to all of our fitness centers in the region. I went to Sprint Center in Reston, VA then I went to Census in Suitland, Maryland. Then finally I went to Westat in Rockville Maryland where I will be staying for now on. It has been really fun so far. Now I'm sure you are all wondering what does a fitness specialist do? Well I will tell you...

Our company contracts with other companies. For example I am working at Westat which is a Research company. All the employee's of Westat can join our fitness center which is located in there office building. So I teach classes, do personalized exercise programs, health consultations, health interviews, health promotion programs, everything to get them ready to join our facility. I work with two other fitness specialist and we pretty much run the center and keep everything up so its looking nice and all that other great stuff. Its really a fun job. I get to do exactly what I wanted! My favorite classes in school are the ones that prepared me for this job. I was thinking right after I received the position how much BYU-Idaho prepared me for the real world. I had so many opportunities to get real world experience. During the interview process they asked a lot of questions related to experiences that I have had in the Health field. Luckily BYU-Idaho gave me all of those experience that I was able to tell them about. I am so thankful that I was able to go to a University that allowed me to go outside of my comfort zone and have to be the leader many times in my college career. I'm pretty sure I complained about it often but now looking back if I didn't have those experiences I probably would not have this job.

Anyway so Jordan and I are doing great!!! Traffic is kinda annoying but I get to drive a cute car! :) that makes up for it! haha

So that's my update for now. Hopefully we will be doing something fun for Memorial Day and I can post about that. We haven't really made plans yet. Oh yeah and I will post some pictures of our new car soon!

Front Row...Heck Yeah!




We went to an O's game last weekend. Orioles vs. Red Sox. It was a good one above was where we originally sat. Really good seats and a great view of the baseball diamond, but then we upgraded to these.....

If you look really closely and know what my parents look like you can see my dad, and mom in the second row. Jenney is down there too but you cant really see her from this picture. This is a picture we took from our original seats two decks above them. (we zoomed in a ton of course)

Our awesome next door neighbor offered us her amazing seats for the Orioles vs Red Sox game. We love going to baseball games especially when we get to sit in there seats. So she got us all tickets and we all went on Saturday night. We were really excited to go, it was a great day and the Red Sox were in town. We root for the O's now since we have lived in Maryland for almost 11 years. We used to root for Boston but then we felt we were betraying our home team!

So this is how it happened...We arrived at Camden yards at about 6:30 for a 7:05 game. We decided we would eat first before the game started. Of course we had to go to Boogs BBQ our favorite spot at Camden yards! So we were walking to go find a table, my dad and Jordan were in front of my mom, Jenney, and me when I hear a lady say excuse me a few times. I turn around and she asked us if it was just us three and I told her that there was two more in front of us and two more coming. She sighed and kinda was like ohh...then my mom asked why? She said oh well my friend isn't feeling well and we are going to go home and we wanted to give our tickets to some one...then she goes on to say they are front row seats right behind home plate!! I was like uhh I'll take them. She didn't want any money or anything she just didn't want them to go to waste. So we took the tickets. I ran over to tell me dad and he was like Oh my gosh seriously. We all obviously wanted to sit in those seats so we decided to be fair....since my dad bought all of us tickets in the first place we decided to take shifts. haha yes only the Premont family would actually split up the time so we can all get a change to sit there. My mom, dad and Jenney took the first shift. Then Jordan and I switched at the top of the 5th inning. Then Carole Ann and Jon came at the bottom of the 7th. And my dad stayed there the whole game.

It was a blast!!! It is a totally different ball game being so close to the players and all! My fav player Nick Markais hit a home run along with Luke Scott and some others! It was pretty cool!


This is Nick...I'm pretty sure we are on first name bases now since I sat right behind him and cheered for him!!!

After the game!
