Robert L Allen Jr. - My Eternal Companion

Rob and I met in July 2001 at a Family Home Evening activity in Lindon, Utah. We started dating in October 2001 and got engaged in March 2002. I married my best friend on June 26, 2002 in the Salt Lake LDS Temple.
Rob was born on August 28 and is a year younger than me. He grew up in South Jordan, Utah, playing soccer and being mischievous. He now plays indoor soccer, but takes any opportunity to play. He is a very passionate BYU fan. He has been very happy lately since BYU football had a great season. We have season tickets to BYU football and to Real Salt Lake Soccer. Our year is full of sports. Rob is very passionate about his teams and shows strict dedication even in bad seasons. He prides himself on not being a fair weather fan. Rob is such a wonderful person. He has a good heart and tries to do what is right. I am so blessed to have him as my husband.

New ideas!

I have decided to follow suit from my friend Nichole's page. She does a blog about her favorite people...so that is what I'm going to do! Because I love it!

Go Cougars!!!

Rob and I just went down to Colorado Springs this past weekend for the BYU v. Air Force game! BYU crushed Air Force! Man, we had a great time! Mind you, it took 500 years to actually get to the stadium since it is under military security. Rob was a bit ornery for being late, but the game was wonderful! We went with my dad and brother Kyle. Our camera's batteries were DED so we just have the ticket stub...but know that we had a blast!

I have the opportunity to work out of our Las Vegas office for a while, until they hire a new paralegal down there. I am so excited to go and learn new things and to help where I am needed. I've received a few new cases which will be very interesting to work on! Also, the attempt to work out of both offices will be very interesting. I am also able to spend time with my good friend Jen, who lives in Vegas. This is a photo from about 5 years ago when I was last in Las Vegas. I am looking forward to spending time with Jen and bettering my skills at work.

Trial

Today was the last day of our trial and we accomplished much. Yesterday after the defendant finished his cross examination by his own attorney, the judge said to some affect, "I don't believe a word your client just said, and frankly, I am embarassed for him. I'm just embarrassed for him." I think all in the court room were completely surprised at this (not that we all didn't think the defendant was full of crap, but just the fact that the judge said something)! Today, the judge came in and ruled in our favor on the termination date of the contract. There is an issue of damages still left to be determined, but...you never know. This was my first trial and learned a lot to better prepare me for my next go at it. The court clerk and I got along really well, and she gave me some wonderful feedback (which I will use for the future cases). It has been a long and stressful week, but well worth the effort. Our client went home very happy and that is the most important thing!

So I went to the zoo at the beginning of August with my friend Shannon before she moved to Colorado. We had a ball...as you can see, the Utah zoo has a strict "Get up and close with the animals" rule!

Our Angel

Landon came to us for such a short time, but he impacted our lives forever. We are so blessed to have such a perfect little boy as part of our family. We truly miss him and can't wait until we are reunited. Isn't he beautiful!?! He had a bunch of hair for how early he was (lets hope all our kids have the same)!!!

Stressing Out

I start my first trial on Monday and am a bit stressed, but way excited! This is a milestone in my career and couldn't be more happy! I have to work all weekend, but hey, that is the price to pay to get where you want to be! I have not disshevled looking photos on this computer to show my wild hair...so you'll just have to imagine!

Testing

We thought we would give this a go. Ok, so actually, I (Heather) wanted to give this a go. I think that it is fun to try to electronic ways of journaling...hmmm...do I want everyone to see what we do? Well, this should be fun!
