CONGRATS ELLEN..we wish we could be there.. work is great isn't it?! better posts to come when we reach NAPA!!!! MERRRY 6 days till CHRISTMAS!

MY FAVORITE TODAY!

Today has already been such a wonderful day (especially considering it is finals week).. and here is my favorite parts about it:

1. we just found out some great news: My favorite nephew ETHAN will be home for christmas this year! YAYYyyy


2. My sweet HUSBAND.. today is our 4 month anniversary!!! I love you pumpkin!

3. This morning.. bright and early we were able to attend the temple! I LOVE TO SEE the temple and the special spirit it brings to my life.

4. I took one of my finals and did way awesome and can keep my B in the CLASS!!!

That's enough good to keep my whole week looking GREAT! only 2 finals LEFT.. back to studying!

new calling!

I AM so proud of myself because i have never held a church calling and now it's my turn!!!! i am the visiting teaching supervisior of one of the districts in my relief society.. i am going to do my ABSOLUTE best i can and make sure i magnify my calling! I knew my chance would come and I'm so excited! So make sure you do your visitng teaching this month ;)

Christmas Cookies!

FORGET THE DIET! HA! too much hassle... besides i got into the christmas mood again and decided to make christmas cookies for my visiting teachers, home teachers, and some friends!!! So a good friend of mine came over, and we went on a cookie cutter search to Macey's. all they had were $.49 cookie cutters, of wreaths, candles, bells, and that holly berry leaf thing.. so we got cookin' and frosting and it was sooo fun!!!!! we made probably 100 sugar cookies!!!!! PLENTY to give away.. and still PLENTY to eat!! I LOVE CHRISTMAS TIME!! DOn't worry even though the cookies don't look to hott.. they tasted delicious.. im sure the cooking will get better over time :)

Workout plan

so we all know how amazing the holidays are...especially the food.. well i am ALReady feeling it.. so instead of making it a New Years Resolution (which it probably still will be) i am not going to let it get that far... so i am devising my own workout goals, and if i post them, i will feel more obligated to follow them! so these are my goals for next 2 weeks and then i will slack off when i go home.. 1. Gym at LEAST 5 times a week. 2. no carbs after 8 PM 3. drink a supplement shake for breakfast 4. NO soda or sweets 5. No fast food or eating out! 6. i get one cheat meal a week.
So maybe i can get ontop of my game BEFORE the Holiday LBS hit!

UGLY christmas sweaters

(shh.... i secretly really like my christmas sweater.. and will probably wear it again......)

Tonight was my work party..themed.. UGLY christmas sweaters! It was so much fun going and buying funny sweaters from Savers and since Jason did not want to go with me...he let me pick out one for him to wear :) they didn't really have ANY good men sweaters... so i had to get him a women's XL sweater.. with kitty cats on it. and my cute husband wore it! we also had a fun white elephant gift exchange.. too funny for words. We had such a good time. (despite getting lost on our way..) can't wait 10.5 days till we are HOME!

Some of the salon girls and our sweaters :)

Christmas Spirit

Conference center was decorated so christmasy... i LOVE it!Finally it is really starting to feel like christmas, since there is no snow.. or rain..yet!!! We were able to get tickets for the 1st Presidency Christmas Devotional tonight up at the conference center in Salt Lake, and it was such a fun time! We heard some great talks and saw the beautiful temple with all the pretty lights! I already have told my mom we are acting out the Christmas story, and Zach will be baby Jesus...Can't wait to go home... in 12 DAYS!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanksgiving Trip

Thanksgiving dinner picture: Jason and I have been quite busy lately... i was able to go home for a few days to do some hair, and extensions! It was fun but very quick. saturday night till tuesday morning. Tuesday evening we left for thanksgiving break out to visit Jennifer, Rhyan, Carrigan and new baby Addison (jason's sister) in Kansas City, Missouri! It was such a fun, relaxing trip. We went out to dinner at Cracker Barrell for Thanksgiving dinner (it was delicious turkey dinner) and over the next few days we were able to visit some church historic sites. Adam-Ondi-Ahman, Liberty Jail, and Independence, MO (visitor center there) It was such a neat experience. We had so much fun visiting with family and meeting all The Donahoe's (rhyan's family) it was my first time meeting his family, and him! Addison Paige Donahoe had her baby blessing. It was so sweet. (the whole gang!) We had a great visit in MO! Thanks mom and dad for such a fun trip and thanksgiving! We have so much to be thankful for! I am especially thankful for my sweetheart Jason, and our supportive families! Now get ready for chrismas time!! 16 days until we get to go home for CHRISTMAS!

Presenting...my new favorite store.. for someday when i need one!!!!!!! WWW.LABORLOOKS.COM check out their blog too! www.laborlooks.blogspot.com These are designer hospital gowns for that special day and instead of wearing that nasty used a million ugly hospital gown they give you... here are stylish ones that you will LOVE! (TELL ALL YOUR FRIENDS!) get the word out.. they are super cute and the best price on the market!

glasses

SO this one is for Erin.. because of her last post comments hahahah! I had an extra credit opportunity in one of my classes to bring in 10 perscription glasses, for our teacher's friend who is an optomologist and goes to third world countries with glasses. So very kindly, like my mother always is, she found plenty of glasses and sent them to me right away, old ones from around the house. Lucky for jason and i she sent a few extra pairs, so Jason picked out his favorite to keep (incase needed for a costume etc..) But pretty much all of them looked this great on him. What a great service/extra credit! I am sure that someone somewhere will look awesome with a pair of our old glasses! thanks jason for cute modeling pictures!!!

WINTER!

So winter is here and lucky for me, my sissy Brittani lives out in HOTT arizona so she sent me all her old beanies and scarfs and gloves!!!! Thanks to Jason for his Beautiful modeling job!!! and thanks BRITTI!!!!

Jason's sick and we got locked out!!!!!!!

Well last night we had quite the experience... so this past week i was pretty sick, so i decided to pass it on to Jason (i guess) so yesterday he was so sick it was so sad... i tried everything i could to make him feel better... Nyquil, motrin, orange juice, water, sleep, kisses, back rubs, but nothing was working.. finally we decided since his fever was not going down we should walk across to the E.R. just incase it was something really terrible. I was very shocked to find that our whole ER visit maybe took an hour.. IF that! It was super quick, so Jason just ended up having well we don't really know a bad cold with a high fever? He is slowly recovering.. poor guy, but as we were coming home from the ER we realized that we didn't have a house key and the door was locked! Jason had borrowed my key earlier and took it off my key ring and never got it back on. So we start calling all my family to see how to pick a lock. we tried picking the lock or opening a window.. NOPE nothing! So lucky for us, Dad pickett had given jamie one of our keys, so we went over and got her keys and we were able to get in, ugh but what a stressful night.. we got to bed aroung 2 or so... it was super annoying at the time but now i think its just funny.. we now make sure that Jamie and jared will both have one of our house keys! That'll never happen again..i hope.. but i sure do hope jason gets better soon! It's NO fun!

Hair extension specialist!

Unhappy with your hair? Interested in thicker, longer, more beautiful hair? Is the front of your hair thinner than the back? Do you need help growing your hair out past the 'akward' stage? I have the answer for you! Racoon Extensions!

I am getting trainned in permanent hair extensions (racoon extensions), as permanent as they come, they grow out as your hair grows out, i individually bond 100% human hair to your hair with protein resin that is safe and healthy for your hair, adding length and fullness, or fullness alone, and the colors are customized matched and mixed to perfectly blend in your own hair, depending on what you are looking for, whether it is just fullness (in the front, or all over) or length, is how long it takes to do as well as cost. A full head of extensions (used for length) usually takes 4-5 hours, some in the front or just adding fullness will take close to 2-3 hours. Prices vary depending on how much hair is needed and what color, it is the finest imported 100% human hair so it runs a bit more expensive, but i am offering 50% off of the service for my first 3 clients to get my name out there, i am planning on coming to Napa to do my extensions once a month. I am aware of a few stylist in Napa that do similar extensions to the ones that i do, but not at the quality or price i am offering. These are Racoon extenstions and you can read more about them on www.racooninternational.com and as far as prices go, they are expensive because they last so long and are such high quality!!! The longevitiy of their life depends on how well you take care of them, i sell shampoo and conditioner specially designed for them and include an extension brush in your service, i give detailed instructions on the best way to take care of them. Maitenence on them is required about every three months, and it is called a rotation, when the bonds are brought back up to the scalp, these are much cheaper and if you chose to reuse the hair or buy new hair is where the price depends, usually you can get away with using the old hair for a few rotations, so wether it is a full head rotation, half head and with new or old hair is the determining factor on the prices. I had them put in for my wedding and will never go back to short thin hair, i LOVE them, and they are helping me grow my own hair out through this akward stage.. If you are interested i would Love to work out some deals with you, Let me know, leave a comment with your email and i will get back to you! Racoon International : The Best Quality 100% Human Hair Extensions

Birthday cards from Mommy, ernin, zachy, Chelsey, my hubby, and ETHAN! ---->

Friday September 19th was my 20th birthday!!! YAY i am no longer a teenager!!!!!! well anyways i had the bestest birthday yet!!! Nothing very special about it except that i have an amazing husband, family, and friends who all make life wonderful! I went to work and baked some funfetti cupcakes and some pumpkin bread to bring to my friends at work. One of my other friends Raylene, who i work with, also made some delicious birthday treats for all of us and we had a feast in the break room and it was delightful! I was able to get off work a little bit early to go home and hang out with my hubby! He gave me the sweetest card. We had a relaxed night at home, and nordstroms, it was the best. Wendy's for dinner, picked up a CUTE bracelet from my sissy ;) at nords,(the same ones i got my bridesmaids! now we are all matching! 'J' for JASON!) then found an amazing clearance JUicy SUit!... RED that could not be passed up :) we then came back home and watched Casino Royale. very good. My birthday continued on saturday evening as my sweetheart took me up to the Apple Store in Salt lake, to get my phone fixed, and waited every so patiently as the crazy crowded apple store people had to replace my phone.. but to top everything off, we ate at cheesecake factory Mmmmm..!!! I love being married, and i love my hubby, but i miss my family back home! My parents and little brother are coming out for conference, only 11 more days till they get here!!!!

One Month

So I really should be studying but i HAD to update our blog because yesterday was our ONE MONTH of being married anniversary! WOW i can't believe it has already been one month, so quick, pretty soon it will be a year.. haha.. So for our one month anniversary, and our FHE activity, we decided to go to my friends house who has a ton of overstock of designer jeans in her garage that she sells for $50!!!! THATS it! i know, so we had a little too much fun... and little did i know that my hubby loooves shopping ALMOST as much as i do! He was able to find THREE pairs of TRUE RELIGIONS, that he could not live without! what a cute spoiled boy! At least I am converting him to the dark side of designer clothing! Soon enough he'll be an orthodontist (okay give him hmm 7 or 8 years!) and Lucky for me he bought me an early birthday present and i got the cutest pair of true religions, and my FIRST pair of skinny jeans.. (im still a bit nervous, im going to try to pull them off!) they are cute rock and republics! so absolutely no more shopping for the newlyweds for a looong time! Oh yes and any suggestions on making a budget!? hahaha we need to figure this one out quick before we run out of savings!!! Let me know we need to try anything we can...

Families are Forever

So school has already started and studying is taking over our lives! Jason is taking chemistry, physics, calculus, and new testament. I am taking American heritage, new testament part 1, new testament part 2, statistics, and humanities. WoW we are crazy, along with working part/full time! Somewhere in all of that we have managed to get our condo in order looking very cute, and thanks to mama pickett and dad... here is a picture of our bed and yes Jason let me put pink in there :)

and i Love our cute sign "Always kiss me goodnight!" Here is another room, out dining room hmm and lets see, a book of mormon on the table, a water, cards, a candle, and Jason's backpack on the chair... pretty clean ;) wish it was that clean now, (we have books and notebooks and thank you cards EVERYWHERE!!) I tried to set a goal for us to write 10 wedding thank you notes a day.. it does pretty well the first few days of the week.. we are getting there though..bear with us!

and lastly, These signs are so cute and I had Jason pose under them but he was laughing too hard :) Families are Forever and I am so thankful for that! The Temple is such an amazing place and I have been so blessed in my life for having the opportunity to be able to enter into the temple, and enter with my sweetheart. It is so comforting knowing that even after we die we are sealed together for time and eternity so we are able to be married in our next life too. Our children will also be with us forever and ever, being able to be born into the convenant. I am so thankful for this amazing church and the family/marriage beliefs it stands for, and nothing can compromise it, not even the changing ways of the world!

Puerto Vallarta

Jason and I left for our honeymoon the very next morning. Jason booked our trip in early July and was able to keep it a secrect up until about a week and a half before!!!! I was so excited to find out we were going to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico! Thanks to Ashley and Ron for giving us a week of their timeshare :) and to both our parents for our airfare! we were able to have such a relaxing time laying by the pool drinking virgin strawberry daquiris and walking along the beach. We also went into town a few times and went to the flea market and bought little things.. we even started to get the hang of bartering! we still arent very good at it! ha! After all the mexican food we ate we wanted some american food.. so we decided to go to Hard Rock Cafe.. and we were so surprised to find that an American Restaurant had the highest prices ever... higher than even in America! it wasn't even as good as the american ones.. our other favorite restaurant we went to was Senor Frogs.. There was a big bug at our table haha but they caught it, and then they put a big sign by us that said ".." somehow everyone seemed to know we were honeymooners... maybe it was or maybe just because we were young and lovey dovey..who knows but everyone seemed to know!! It was soooooo much fun! when we got home we both got a little bit sick... we didn't even drink the water.. but we think it may have been from the ice cubes or fruit washed in the water... DANGIT!!!! oh well its over now and it was the bestest honeymoon ever. thanks honey for planning it all!!!!!

WE are MARRIED

So its about time I got on here and updated you with our new married life!! We have been Mr and Mrs Pickett for 17 days now... going on 3 weeks! Its been a crazy 3 weeks at that! The 15th of August was the absolute best day of my life. The day went something like this.. woke up around 6 (and every hour of the night before that...) then began getting ready about 7 Am. My beautiful Best Friend Chelsey Lloyd did my hair and it turned out amazing!

Tiffanie and Brittany were the best and did bridesmaids and my mommys hair! Then at 8 the makeup artist Jenn arrived...my makeup was unbelievable!!!!Everything was just off to a perfect start. We then left for the Oakland Temple and met Jason and his family there. We were right on time... The marriage/sealing ceremony took place and i swore i was not going to cry! Good thing i told Jenn i wanted waterproof mascara JUST IN CASE... by the middle of the ceremony im crying i look at my mom she is crying and then i look at Brittani and she is crying... and then back at Jason and for the First time ever i see tears swelling up in his eyes. It was such a sweet and special time especially to know that we would be sealed together for time and eternity! It was so special! After the ceremony we got all fixed up and ready before we exited the temple..(I was ready before JASON!)

After tons of picture from our super photographer... www.scottwallphoto.com we then went off to the family luncheon. Delicious food! By request Jason and I then headed off to some Vineyards up at Luna Winery in Napa with our photographer to get some shots in the vineyards. Its a must for a Napa native to have some wedding pictures in the vineyards! I can't wait to get out pictures back! Back to the Wagner Residence where the reception was going to take place. Quick touchups on the hair (thanks chels!) and makeup and it was time for the reception! 7:00 we stood and began greeting guests Who took off to the Photo Booth right away ( check out the photo booth pictures : www.partybooths.com look up 8/15/08 devyn and jason and the password is devyn!) I am not sure if everyone knew they would be displayed for public viewing!!!! The food was awesome Knickebockers Catering brought in a brick pizza oven and cooked tons of gourmet pizzas, as well as the tons of appetizers that were being passed around. Lucky for us we were able to try one of each! We had our first dance to "Lost in this Moment" by Big and Rich and i was able to dance with my daddy to "I loved her first" by Heartland! Thanks to our DJ TOM we were able to have such a fun and popular dance! Cutting the cake was a lot of fun and we were both very nice to each other.. thank you mommy for such a beautiful red velvet cake with creamcheese frosting and fondant on top! it was beautiful and delicious! The bouquet toss went smooth.. except my cute cousin Paige caught it and i think my friends were a bit jealous.. but she most likely will be married before them ;) Then came the garter toss... i was so scared never had i let Jason reach up my dress and now that he was allowed i was terrified! But it all turned out okay...

dancing continued but we couldn't wait to leave.. i ran inside to 'go to the bathroom' and really Katie helped me put on some sexy white lingerie under my dresss!!!!!! So i came out and we ran to the car with everyone following.... we get to the car.. thanks rich and zach, the car was seran wrapped shut... we had fun getting that undone.. and then we were off!!!!! WOW.. it all went by way to fast and It was more perfect than i ever could have dreamed off.. it was a fairytale! The night just continued on amazing ;) i will tell all about our honeymoon in the next post!!!

the big day!

Tomorrow is the big day! I cannot believe it actually is almost here as I am sitting with my hair in curls pinned up so I will have less to do in the morning... All my dreams are coming true! So Jason took his anatomy final on wednesday and got an 86%!!!! Good Job Sweetheart!!!! I am so proud of him he is sooooo smart! Then we flew back home to begin getting ready.. wednesday was practically over.. then thursday got here.. i woke up so early not used to sharing a smaller bed with my sister..Then a few peoples hair... and off to our dancing lessons! My mom, dad, Jason and I all had an hour long dance lesson with my parents dance instructors :) it was a lot of fun and we were able to get our song dances down quite well.. After we had to go get our nails done..with ethan! that cutest little nephew of mine! After nails.. it got crazier.. tables, chairs, linens, everything began arriving and I had a lot more to do.. off to a makeup trial.. I can't wait for my wonderful makeup artist Jenn to work her magic! Now was zach's haircut... then off to run some errands and wrap some bridesmaid gifts.. the day was becoming a BLUR! Finally... we met with DJ Tom and got our music situated and then we got to eat.. the whole family was able to go out to a very favorite of mine.. after taqueria of course.. which by the way is closed for remodeling... TAYLors Refresher!! mmmMmmMM... after dinner... had to shower and get the hair started and now here i am about to go to sleep never been more excited for anything not even comparable to christmas... and i don't know how to react.. its all too sureal.. it doesn't feel like is actully happening tomorrow.. or now today... but i cannot wait.. i will marry my best friend for time and all eternity.. i love jason to infinity and i could not imagine life without him. he has taught me patience, a deep love for the gospel, an amazing desire to have a beautiful family with him, taught me that i have everything i could ever want in my life and nothing else in life matters as long as i have him by myside. he is my prince and i know he will make an incredible father and husband.. the best a girl could ask for. i have been so blessed by my father in heaven, i know when you do what is right immediate blessings follow and i truly believe Jason was sent to be in my life by God and he has changed my life.

I was able to attend a couple showers.. i got a lot of lingirie (be excited jason!) and i had another wonderful shower and got tons of much appreciated gifts!!! The 24, 25, and 26th we had a Wagner family reunion. It was so much fun. Thursday the 24th we all attended the Giants game.. and they won! Friday we went to Angel Island and went bike riding and played games and i got stung by a bee..but Jason rescued me. Then on saturday i was able to go through the Sacramento Temple with a ton of family and friends. It was such a special experience that will never be forgotten. When we got back to Utah Grandma and Grandpa Turnbull and mom Pickett threw us a "grocery shower" where we were able to get tons of groceries and other household items! It was soooo much fun! Now we are just waiting..... waiting.. very carefully waiting... it seems so far, but im sure it will be here before we know it! And... Jason slipped up on our 'SURPRISE' Honeymoon! Ahahahahaha.....

twenty-six days

Tonight is my first shower that my sisters are putting on for me (Ashley, Katie, and Erin) i wish Brittani could be here, but she will be on WEDNESDAY! So it is a Lingirie Shower and Ashley made the absolutely cutest invites ever! (see picture above) and if you can't read them, they say "Something borrowed, something blue, forget that!!! Jason likes see-through!!!!!" So cute! I am so excited for some cute..things... ;)

Jason and I have been apart for 8 days now and it is horrible!!!! I don't know how I am alive still! He is my everything and in 26 days it will be official! So he is back home and I am out in Napa getting some finishing touches done. Some of which are my showers! Besides my sisters shower, I also have another one and these are the invites!!! My face is on the front they are hilarious and SOOO cute! Thanks Ginnie!

Anyways, time is getting so close to the big day and I can not wait! Everything is falling into place just perfectly!

5 weeks

Today is officially 5 weeks or 35 days whichever sounds shorter! I can not wait and I still cannot believe it is so close, but it still seems so far! So announcements are officially OUT! YAY I hope everyone liked our choice of announcements, they were designed by our amazing engagement photographer Suzy Olivera! http://www.suzyophotography.com/ so they are one of a kind! My favorite part is the back with our website, and I am assuming everyone that is reading this saw that! So our latest updates are; I got my first fitting of my dress and alterations are in the process :) still have not found shoes, we are still getting together addresses that have not been collected to send the remainder of the announcements out, we still have not decided on a wedding song (if anyone has any good suggestions for our first dance!!) and we have to pick out linens, rentals, and flowers when i go home! BY the WAY..... I get to go home tomorrow to spend two weeks at home, but the first week I am a camp counselor at 4H camp!!! and the next week we are having a family reunion and I will be attending the Sacramento Temple on July 26th! I will be away from my sweetheart for 11 days! I will miss him so so much, but I can not wait to be home and to eat some Taqueria Rosita!

40 Days

As of today it is officially 40 days!!! My family left yesterday but we were able to get so much done! We got bridesmaid dresses, tux's ordered, my dress, announcements addressed, but there was a slight problem in the announcements so they should be all sent out by this week!! Everything is coming together so perfectly! I am so thankful for my wonderful family and parents and that I am sealed to them forever and I have the opportunity to be sealed to my sweatheart for time and eternity! (and our family to come someday!) So Jason won't tell me much more than he is surprising me with a honeymoon! I need to pack swimsuits and it will be warm weather... hmmm.. maybe he will tell my sisters.. they always tell me! haha I can't wait he is just the sweetest thing ever! We also were able to finish registering! I think... I am sure we need to add a couple more things! 40 days seems so far away.. but I think it will be here before we know it!

Family visiting!

Oh man! so little, or actually not so little, Zach has EFY this week and good thing at that because that means my parents had a reason to come out, other than just help with wedding planning!! Since we finally picked out some announcements our goal this week is to get those all addressed and everything sent out! Wow, big task, and on top of all that I need to just decide on a dress already, pick out bridesmaid dresses, find a temple dress, and find a few more outfits! It has already been such an overwhelming week and I know Jason is feeling neglected because I have been spending so much time with my parents, but I know he understands. Besides since he decided to take Anatomy for his one summer course, ha!, he has been studying like i have never seen anyone study! But he truly is the sweetest man ever. I cannot believe how much patience he has with me, and how much he does for me. I love him so much and cannot wait for 45 more days till I will marry my best friend, the man of my dreams, my Jason... <3

The Proposal

The Proposal..... We went to Disneyland with my entire family and he planned it out with them how he was going to do it, so my mom made us all walk over to the Castle so we could take a 'family' picture, when all of a sudden everyone but us walked away and i got super nervous and Jason got down on one knee and asked.. but, before he could put the ring on my finger, I grabbed it and put it on my own finger.. :) this is the 'oh my goodness I cannot believe this is happening and Jason so lied to me about not getting the ring!!!" Anyways it was honestly a dream come true. We are so in love and can't wait for the big day! for time and eternity!

Our website!

We have decided, actually I decided, that we are going to start our very own blog to keep everyone updated on our engaged life, and on to our real married life! ahhh crazy! The wedding is only 67 days and we have a lot to do still, but have already done a ton! We looked at announcements and think we have decided on some, and we got a DJ! YAY things are just going great. Jason is amazing and we will have such a good life!
