Merchandising
One of my favorite things about my job is that I get to merchandise. I usually walk through the store adding a million things to my to-do list because there are so many areas I want to fix. But I love that feeling after I just finished a new project, and I love the way it turned out. This was my project at work Saturday night. It took me and one of my associates just barely over and hour to remove everything that had been there previously, and then make this display featuring our Ready to Assemble Furniture and Home Accents.
Don't mind the box I didn't move, and the "what looks messier than it is" department to the right.

Sun Valley, IDAHO
Ok ok, it's a new year, I promise to blog more often. I know I have been extremely boring with my lack of blogs. SO SORRY!
Over MLK weekend we went to Sun Valley, ID with some friends. We left when I got off work Friday at 6 PM and drove the 5 hours there. We had a bright and early morning the next day, waking up at 7 AM so we could leave early to start our snowmobiling day.
I have only been snowmobiling a few times in my life, and they were all when I was still pretty young. Kory has never been. It was so much fun renting snowmobiles for the whole day and just roaming the beautiful winter wonderland in the greater Sun Valley area.
We didn't get pictures of everyone, sad! But here are a few.
During our day of snowmobiling we had some funny things happen. In addition to Sammy throwing Chase off the back, Kory accidentally got his snowmobile stuck in some powder. Cassidy, Joe and I were waiting forever wondering where everyone was (I was the leader of the pack at the time, and mid-pack lost the spotting of the people behind them). Finally, about 15 minutes later they caught up. Kory had been having fun and the deep powder got the best of him. Later in the day, Kory and I accidentally tipped on the of the double snowmobiles. He didn't believe me when I said they were top heavy and squirly and you really had to lean into the turns (I was driving at the time), haha. We laughed a lot.
We spent the rest of the night playing games, and watching a movie. We were all pretty wiped out! Kory and I had to leave after church on Sunday so that I could make it back to work on Monday. All in all it was a pretty short weekend, but we had a great time!! Thank you Ficklins for the invitation!!

Sammy accidentally threw Chase off the back of the snowmobile. This is her guilty face :).
Kory was enjoying the thigh deep snow new Redfish Lake. He made the hike all the way to the picnic table where we decided NOT to eat our lunch.
Kory and I had such a great time! I love this picture.

Christmas Gifts & Custom Pictures
HAPPY THANKSGIVING!! Kory and I discovered the coolest thing this last week! Some of you may have seen the beautiful picture of the Salt Lake Temple that we have hanging in our living room, it has "Hjelm Family est. November 2008" inscribed on it. We absolutely love this picture that we got from Cultural Hall.
I'm super excited though because this week we found Framed Legacy, a company that creates more customizable pictures for better prices with really nice frames too! You can send them a picture that you want printed, and to add customized text is only $25 versus Cultural Hall's $40. Not only do the prices start 20%-30% lower than Cultural Hall, right now there is a saving coupon for another 30% off!! The code is TURKEYFRIDAY and expires at 12:00 AM this Saturday the 27th (that's midnight on Black Friday). You're welcome for sharing :), hehe.
We got a picture from our wedding day customized. The other ones we loved were the First Presidency and the Sacred Grove. They add so much to our home. But there are TONS to choose from including Salt Lake Temple with Christmas lights and other fun things. Check out their website.

Chicago
I got to spend 3 weeks of September in Chicago for work. Sears flew me and8 other National Management Trainees out to work in their flagship store at Woodfield Mall (the 2nd largest in the US) and then attend the holiday conference at Hoffman Estates the last week with the District Managers and Regional Vice Presidents.
I got to see my dearest friend Emily Collins, and made some really great friends too. Kory even got to come out for a weekend! It was such a great time! I should explain that the "reflection" pictures were actually taken in the box that extends outside of the 103rd floor of the Sears tower. Those pictures were actually taken through the window showing how we're hanging in the air 103 stories over Chicago!
