PROMOTION!!!!

Well my hard work and dedication to the Gold's Gym company keeps itself paying off... as of January 1, 2009 we are taking over our personal training department (currently professional fitness) and i will be the PT coordinator for all of Utah. I will be helping the vp of sales and the director of PT... hiring, recruiting, systems implementation etc. Anyway, i am really really REALLY excited for this opportunity that they have given me... i'm ready to bust my butt and show them even more of what i am made of...

MERRY CHRISTMAS... or should i say MEGMAS!!

For those of you who don't know, this year was officially named "Megmas". Why you ask? Well simply because my brothers didn't get many presents... read on to find out why...Christmas day at the lyman household is always super exciting!! Taylor likes to get everyone up really early (even this year when he and jake didn't get many presents... because of the debts they owed my parents... suckers ha ha...) we all look so excited don't we?

jake really wanted a vintage jazz tshirt, and tickets to the jazz game... ask and your sister will provide!!!
grandpa was supposedly really cold... even though the house was at like 75 degrees, so he put on this ensemble... had to take a picture!!

taylor, ava and cyd

christmas will wear you out!!!

evan looked super bored when he WASN'T getting a present (which was rare :)...

mom and dad gave grandpa a new camera... let's see if he can figure it out!
it was a great christmas, we love having cyd and her family in town...

NEW HAIR AGAIN!!!!!

So brooke's husband nate called me one day and asked where he could send her to get her hair done (she just had a baby and needed some uplifting...) luckily i was going to see steph the next day and told nate brooke could just come with me... steph is amazing and look how awesome brookie's hair looks?!?!

i got bangs... i love steph!! she is moving and i am going to be so lost without her doing my hair ahhh!!!

i just have to take pictures of abby because she is so freaking cute!!!

FUNNIEST PAJAMAS....

so i really wish someone could explain this to me, but these pajamas say "my first christmas", yet they are a size 3T... what the heck?? either someone's 3 year old is really deprived, or someone has a really big one year old....

JACQUE!!!!

Jacque was home from school for a couple days... i didn't get to see her except for a couple hours on saturday... she has been one of my bestest friends since i was 15... i love her to death. she graduates from school in december.. i am super proud of her and know she has big things ahead in life!! i miss her so much :( but she will be home for a full month in december after school is over... love you jac!!!

ABBY'S NEW OUTFIT AND TATTOO

More pics for you Brooke and Nate!!! I was at old navy and couldn't pass up this adorable fleece outfit for abby... it's pink, and polka dots!!!

Then i saw something on abby's back... i thought it was a burn or something... turns out nate had put a freaking tattoo on abby... they crack me up so bad... i had to take pics...

OH YEAH.....

in case you were wondering, my hair is dark again... much better....and easier since it's almost my natural color...

LET THE RIVALRY BEGIN!!!

Ok so even though BYU will probably lose to the U this year, i am still holding strong for them... should be a good game though and the rivalry here at work began this morning at 8am.... too bad there are only 2 people out of our whole office who are U fans... even the bosses go for the Y... so we will see, it'll be a bad day next monday when Mat and Wes come in a gloat constantly, or mat walks around humming the stupid fight song... but we will have our fun this week.

Let's be honest.... most U fans look like this... and who would want to admit that?!?!

I HATE DELILAH!!!!!

Salt Lake loves Delilah
Wednesday 02-21-2007 11:44am MT
I was a small-town girl.
Aside from the ridiculous green beret and homely green jumper, signing me up for Girl Scouts was the best decision Mom made for her fifth-grade daughter. I already knew how to build a campfire, and selling cookies wasn't the highlight of my year -- it was the field trip to the radio station that thrilled my little eleven-year-old heart.
There it was, five thousand watts of crystal-clear power...it was a daytime-only radio station, the voice of our town.
One look into that studio and I was hooked. I begged them to let me take home the unused news copy from the AP wire. I hung it up on my wall like a rock-star poster. I got a tape recorder and practiced doing newscasts, writing exciting stories of neighborhood gossip. I practiced my commercials, imitating TV ads for Miss Clairol.
In the seventh grade, I entered a speech contest and won three of the four categories. The judges were the owners of that radio station.
Within a week of winning the speech contest I had my first on-air job: "Delilah, on the Warpath," school news and sports, taped weekly.
By the time I was in high school I had worked into a full-time part-time position at the radio station. I wrote afternoon newscasts, wrote and produced commercials. I took the empty soda pop bottles back for the refund. Six days a week I was at the station. Six days a week I was happy!
It's been over 25 years, and fourteen stations since Mrs. Davis's Girl Scout troop walked through the doors of that first radio station. Today, my show isn't on a five-thousand watt daytime AM station, but the thrill of the microphone hasn't disappeared. Radio is still my first love.
Sports: Watching my son, Isaiah, play soccer
Food: YES!!
Color: Yellow!
Season: Summer in Seattle, Autumn in New England
Activity: Painting (art, not walls -- although I do murals!)
Passions: Gardening, camping

UTAH DOES NOT LOVE DELILAH!!! I in fact hate her. I have been listening to Kosy 106.5 every Sunday night with Dustin because pretty sure I love Christmas tunes... and they play christmas tunes... but delilah needs to be taken out back and beaten like a dead horse. I mean look at what she wrote about herself number 1, and number 2, she asks callers to call in and tell their stories or whatever, but then she turns it around on herself and tells her stories. Well NEWS FLASH DELILAH... no one cares!!!! Stop making your show all about you!!

Show Tune Saturday Night is SOOOOOOOO much better (yes we are big fat dorks and listen to show tunes ok...)

DON'T EVER....

don't ever throw up in your car... it's really gross AND it'll cost you a lot of money to get it cleaned out properly... you probably think this is really gross and i'll agree it is, but for you that really know me, you'll also know i don't really care :)

FINDING A DRESS....

Ok so i am going to a fraternity formal on friday (dustin and i will be the ONLY sober ones there so this should be interesting...). unfortunately it's not a dressy enough event for me to wear my prom dress again.. i was extremely disappointed as i am sure that you all are since you won't get to see me in it again...so i decided that i better go find myself a "cocktail looking" dress to wear. i enlisted the help of my stylish friends from work, kacie and whitney, and this is what we found... now mind you, these are REAL clothes from REAL stores....

to start off our adventure we journied into express... we found this lovely cheetah print jacket and these awesome sequined pants... they were more like leggings... oh and the lovely blue cocktail dress you see in the background.. can anyone say romy and michelle's highschool reunion??

next was this lovely granny looking sweater and the dead flower skirt we found... i figured the shirt wasn't working so i better make it work and turned it into a belly shirt.... notice to the right, there is a sequined vest to match the sequined pants... yeah you know you like it!

my high fashion model pose... i credit it to AMNTM (america's next top model for those of you who don't know...) thanks tyra!!!!
since nothing in express was working too well.. we then ventured on to Macy's.. and found this cute little number.
would you pay $145 for this? i know i would... and maybe i did... guess you will all have to wait and see what i ended up getting!!! place your bets....

THRILLER!!!!!!

I went to THRILLER for my first time last october and absolutely loved it! i talked my friend ryan into going with me this year... so i headed down to st george and went to tuachan theater on halloween... it is amazing to me the way these people can dance, makes me wish i wouldn't have been a quitter because of itchy costumes when i was little... ha ha...they had a couple of dances taken out this year, the scarecrow one was gone which was one of the best! but it was a lot of fun, not too cold at all, and we had the best golden nugget popcorn EVER!! if you have never tried it you probably should.... mmmmmm

yeah i wanted us to take a picture and then i totally wasn't ready...
ryan has been an awesome friend for almost 4 years...

pictures with the scary zombies after the show

i wasn't scared! i was laughing so hard because he was foaming from the mouth and for whatever reason i thought it was hilarious... he was definitely a good actor

JASON MRAZ.... and the cops

i went to the jason mraz concert with my friend maguet and his roommate steve-0... yeah don't worry that they guy they bought tickets from (off of ksl) had purchased not only our tickets but 21 others with a credit card he had stolen... so when we got to the concert we had to fill out statements with the police so they could try to catch the guy... then they ended up buying more tickets so we could actually go to the concert... thanks maguet and steve, you rock!!

END OF THE SEASON GAME...next the playoffs!

It's so sad that football season is coming to an end. Taylor does an awesome job and his love for the sport is amazing. he is so good at what he does and loves to HIT!!! we are definitely going to miss seeing him play....

i thought this sunset was amazing... great way to start out a game for sure

Tayman is tiny compared to most of his team, but he definitely has more spirit and umph than most of them for sure. the guys he was up against this week was huge and pummeled taylor and he was down for the count for a minute and now has an awesome gouge on his head now. battle wounds guys, battle wounds.
they also had senior night since it was their last "season" game. they recognized all the senior cheerleaders, accadians (drill team), and football players. all the players' parents got to go on the field after the game and get recognized and have their pictures taken with their sons. after the game they had a bbq for the players and their families, and then the boys all camped out on the football field. what an awesome end to a season (even though we lost...) playoff game Friday at 3pm... good luck brighton!! tayman: i hope you know how much we love you and how proud we are of you... you are our amazing little football player who has grown into an awesome young man. love you bud.
