The Egbert Family

Tuesday, June 8, 2010

Well this is embarrassing.. the last time I blogged was in JANUARY (sad).
Last time we blogged I said we were "looking at houses".... HAH!

I am proud to say now that not only did we look at those houses, we loved one.. and then we bought it! A pretty house in Elk Ridge, UT 20 minutes south of Provo.

It needed/needs a lot of work, but the little things we have done on the house have made a world of difference. A before/After blog will be done in the near future.

Also.. I graduated from BYU! And Kevin got me a Dirtbike as a reward :)


BYU Broadcasting hired me full-time as a Production Coordinator, and I LOVE LOVE LOVE my Job! The girls I work with rock my socks.

We bought a car this weekend!
A beautiful 2008 Subaru Legacy.
It's MY car :)
Since we have been married Kevin got the WRX, the Bulletbike, and the Truck...
I patiently waited and finally got my reward.

We went to our friends Blake and Whitney Chamberlain's house on Sunday for a barbeque and to watch the Celtics vs Lakers game... celtics won Yipee! Right before we left their place a storm warning came on the TV, there was a CRAZY lightning storm! Here is a picture from that night that was on KSL News.



There will be more consistent blogging to come, I promise!
I am staring to ride the bus to work and i already have some good stories!

WOW! It has been a long time.
Updates..
1. We Still live in Provo, Utah
We are renting a duplex south of BYU campus that doesnt have a garage, so kevin uses our second bedroom as one. He literally has, and works on his Dirtbike in there! I love him so much :)
2. Krystina Graduates in April
She is a rare specimen that actually graduates in the normal span of 4 years! She is graduating in Exercise Science and wants to get a job working in a clinic or a health center.
3. Kevin got an AMAZING job in Salem, Utah
He is managing the factory for Neways International and they are going to pay for his graduate school! We are very exited for these blessings.
4. Because of reason 4 we are buying a house here in Utah in the VERY near future.
The house searching process is very tedious and SO stressful! But, the market is so great now in Utah and we want to take advantage of all the incentives available.
5. Krystina works at BYU Broadcasting, the coolest job ever!
At the sporting events they film Krystina job is the "Stage Manager" and yesterday at the BYU Mens Volleyball game against Stanford she was ON TV! The volleyball flew fast her face the the cameraman caught it on TV! During the instant replay the announcer Jarom Jordan said, and we quote, "Stanford hits the ball out of bounds and the ball fies past our stage manager Krystina Egbert!" HAHA. It was a fun experience and MY wife is famous!!!
6. No kids on the way ... YET!

That's it for now... we are going to look at houses now. BYE!

Third Monthiversary!

We have already been married for three months! It has been great, our semester is almost over and then we are going to California for ten days with The Piquet family (Britttany and Dan). Our older sister Rhiannon just had a baby, so we really want to see our new baby nephew Jacob. Our little sister Joanna is 3 months pregnant and we want to see her baby bump.


Our older brother Derek just proposed to his girl and we think the wedding will be around July. They both go to Texas A&M.

Well being the only daughter was fun while it lasted, i guess i can share...

Trent, Kevin's younger brother, is on his mission for the LDS church and he will be back in novermber, and now he will miss wedding number 2 in his family :(

Heres a picture of Derek and his new fiance Christie, I am Exited to meet her! :)

March 15, 2009

Me and Kevin have been selling plasma for about a month now to get some extra income, i almost passed out the first time, but i love money more than i am scared of needles :)

This semester we have been taking a snowboarding class together and it has been a BLAST!!! here are some pictures from last saturday :)









^^^ This is Kevin going off a jump in the back country... gotta love deep powder!

Kevin & I with the Grand Tetans in the background! (bottom right)

<-------This is Mary's nipple (its a mountain at Grand Targhee resort) This was the middle of the hike. Hiking in the snow... with a snowboard.. and boots... isn't as easy as it looks! BUT SO WORTH IT! We got so sunburned that day :(

Feb 14th, 2009

Today we went to grandma and grandpa Egbert's in Ashton, Idaho. There was an Egbert get together up there for the day. Me and Kevin bought a Walther p99 40 caliber handgun... it was my "valentines present" :) Thats Kevin's idea/sad excuse for romance, but its a really fun gun! We go shooting a lot now, even though its hard to find ammo now that Obama's in office. My aim is getting pretty good! And it gives us good bonding time! And now our home is protected... even though rexburg crime rate is at 0... you can never be too safe right?

January 7th, 2009

Classes have started and we are not even close to being unpacked, I love our apartment! It's ghetto but we will make it look good. We bought to most gorgeous kitchen table from furniture row in Idaho falls. Kevin has also been a good handyman and put together he table and chairs, a bookshelf for us and then painted an old ugly coffee table (and made it beautiful) for our family room :)
He is too good to me :)

January 5th, 2009

We borrowed Dad Egberts big van to haul all of our goodies from the receptions back to school.
From Livermore we headed up to Sacramento to pick up our stuff from the first reception...
then it was off to Utah... then to Idaho!
We moved up to Rexburg, ID for winter semester at BYU!

We drove through the night and stayed at Krystina's good friend Natalie Foel's house in Provo, then we headed up to Rexburg. Kevin was too tired to filll up the car the night before so while driving to the gas station in the morning we ran out of gas... dun.. dun.. dun.. that made two grumpy travellers that morning. We then went to Krystina's old apartment and picked up her Camry, then piggy backed up to rexburg in the scary snow storms.
