May Flowers

Hello fam & friends!  This week has been an awesome one!  Nick has been doing fabulous in selling and we're having fun getting situated out here in CO!  My job is fantastic and I LOVE the girls I get to work with- they are all super nice and I love Victoria's Secret!  I can't wait to actually start, as these last four days have been training days.  I also start Forever 21 next week, I'm super excited!

I can't wait until May 31st because I get to fly home to see my best friend and beautiful sister graduate!  Unfortunately Nick has to stay and work, but I'm excited to have a few days to just be with my amazing sisters!!

My parent's have also recently bought a salon in Logan called Samson and Delilah!  If you don't know wear that is, it's in the same complex as Cafe Rio and Little Ceasars!  They are remodeling the entire thing, and I'm so excited to see the final results!  My mom had me help her pick out a logo for the salon & I'm super excited to see all the fun things they do and products they put inside.  If you have never been there, go check it out!  The stylists are amazing!

Anyway, life is great for the Jackson family and we're excited to see all of the fun things the rest of the summer brings!! Have a fabulous weekend!

First day of Warmth!

Today finally felt like SUMMER!  It is 80 degrees here in Colorado; almost.. HOT!  I wore leggings and a dolman type top today, and even in light clothes; I still feel like I'm about to start sweating! I love warm weather and can't wait until the pool opens up!  


Tonight Nick and I are going to a movie and dinner, and going to venture around Colorado!!  I'm excited because we haven't been on a date in forever!  I miss him!!!  I'm all alone during the day and those are the times where I seriously feel like I NEED a job!  I think to myself: WHAT TO DO... grocery shop? clothes shop? jewelry shop? find a craft? read a book?  All those ideas are now fulfilled and I am just simply BORED!!! I can't wait to start my jobs next week!


My family is staying at our house in Springville (well, the house my parents bought for us, so I shouldn't say OUR house- it really is their house ;) And my mom called me this morning and told me she was going to "restock" on some items.  I get a text from my dad saying "Ur mom is nesting in ur house.  Make it stop...." my reply "Wahooo!!! I mean... STOP!" I then get some pictures of the guest bedroom and the guest bathroom, and my mom has already decorated them for us! I love it and it's exactly what I would have picked!! Thanks, Mom!

Colorado thus far!

Hey everyone!  Hope everyone is enjoying their summer so far :) 
So, last Sunday, the day we got to Colorado, I was super excited and as we drove up to the apartments, they looked so cute and I couldn't wait for our summer adventure.  However, the moment I looked into our apartment, I knew something wasn't right.  When Nick told me the apartments were furnished, we both assumed "hotel" furnished. As in, had everything we could possibly need- bedding, silverware, dishes, etc.  WRONG.

I looked up at Nick and all I could say was "Oh no."  I quickly became frazzled, wondering what exactly we were going to do; as we had only brought basically our personal necessities like clothes, toothbrushes, hair stuff, make up, etc.  He looked at me, kind of smiling, knowing I would start freaking out right away.  I called my mom right away, with anxiety, wondering what we were going to do!  Luckily, since my aunts' live so close, they were able to help us and let us borrow their things!!  Thank goodness!  They gave us everything we could possibly need.  THANK YOU AUNT LISA AND LYNNETTE, you are both my life savors! :)


Last Friday, I was able to babysit my adorable cousin, Sophie!  Sometimes I just want to call her my niece because she is so much younger than me!  I felt like mommy for the day and it was SO much fun.  She is such a doll!  We went to Chick Fil A for lunch, Target and went to Rio the movie, which I totally recommend!  It was a blast!

It's been great here so far!  It's so beautiful and has absolutely everything you could want or need.  I got a job at both Forever 21 and Victoria's Secret, which is GREAT!  I'm super excited and I'm even more excited to be kept busy!! I start Victoria's Secret this weekend and Forever 21 on Tuesday.  I can't believe I ended up finding jobs for my two favorite stores!  :)


Nick is getting adjusted here with his job!  At first I felt bad for him, knowing he was going to be knocking doors all day long!  But for any newly married couple, I would totally recommend it!  We will be so grateful when the summer is over, when we both can just go to school and spend more time on our relationship and not be so stressed about making money!  He is doing good so far and the company he signed with is GREAT!  I'm so glad we ended up with a great company for him to work for.  :)


 Have a wonderful weekend everyone, and we will be sure to keep updating as the summer continues!! :)
