My 10 Year High School Reunion! I Am Getting Old!!!

I can’t believe it has already been a decade since I graduated! Time sure does fly! Then again if you told me I would have been married for 7 years with two children, a dog, and a home, and enjoying life as a stay-at-home mom, I probably never would have believed you. I am SO very blessed in where I am in life! This was a pretty fun night out with my main squeeze even if walking back through those school doors brought a lot of the same nerves and anxiety along with the memories I made there. They remodeled the school and I have to say that I sure wish Ben and I had attended this new and improved school. It is beautiful!!!

We won the prize basket for having the youngest baby! Yay us! :)

Cheers to the Box Elder High School Class of 2005! I hope you have all found happiness in your lives!

Ben’s 10 Year High School Reunion!

Where does the time go?! I cannot believe Ben graduated 10 years ago! We were dating at the time. It is so cool to see where we are now and to be able to go and celebrate this moment with him and our friends (one big plus of attending the same high school). I do wish we could say that the building we met at was our high school. They recently renovated our high school, and it turned out beautifully! At least we got to enjoy it all these years later though, right? They had the delicious Idle Isle (the restaurant I worked at in High School) cater the event, and the activities they put together were so much fun!

High School Sweethearts!

It was a WONDERFUL night!

Falling into Autumn 2010

In the interest of getting this blog caught up as soon as possible, I have decided to combine events into bulk posts at least until I am blogging in real time again. Fall of 2010 was happy thanks to being able to welcome it, since we did in fact go camping at Bear Lake, even if it was freezing. I welcomed fall by decorating the apartment. Fall decorations are my favorite decorations-next to Christmas decorations, of course. I had fun putting the ones I had not seen or been able to use (due to them being in a storage bay in Colorado) the year before, as well as embarking on buying/creating and putting up new ones. It was fun to make the apartment all festive for the fall season.

We also enjoyed numerous activities and outings including: Getting a gym membership with a personal trainer at Gold’s Gym (although this was another not-so-fun experience with lies and contracts, because when I became pregnant and super sick, working out was not an option and their contract was nothing like they said it was), breaking the diet rules-often (we were great at working out, but let’s face it diets are so hard!), Play dates with my friend, Alyssa and her super cute baby, Paige, dates with my lovie, trips up north to see family and friends and new babies, Celebrating my Grandpa’s birthday at Applebee’s, hosting a party for Halloween-complete with scary movies and sugar cookies, going to High School musicals and having my brother, Kyle, over for a sleepover and dinner with neighbors, and celebrating my Grandparent’s anniversary with them at Chuck-A-Rama. It was another busy and fun time in the Ostler world!

I LOVE fall! The decorations just make it even better!

Hitting up Ikea and Bridal Veil Falls for a girl’s day!

Visiting my family before heading to Tremonton to see friends and meet their new baby girl, Britley. Their parents even let us pick some fresh produce from their garden-it was so yummy!

Before and after a workout.

Celebrating Grandpa’s Birthday!

The card I found for him. It.was.perfect.

The first snow fall for the year.

Kyle over for dinner!

Courtney, one of my managers from Nordstrom was dressing up as Jasmine for a Halloween Party, so she had me do her hair. I think it turned out pretty good if I do not say so myself.

Our Halloween Party and festivities!

I really don’t do well with scary movies…

All dolled up (yes, even Ben) for a date night after a workout one night. Too bad we wasted the workout with the Kit Kats and hot cocoa…good thing it was worth it!

Goofing off for Ben and the camera.

Going to Box Elder High School to watch their production of Phantom of the Opera, and then bringing Kyle home to visit (which led to more diet cheating-candy bars, In-N-Out, pizza) for a couple days.

Grandpa and Grandma’s anniversary dinner double-date!

Time to work off all that junk food-we are horrible!

Another paly date at Alyssa’s with her and her cute, little Paige.
