DAY THREE HUNDRED SIXTY FOUR ... 30 December 2009

Once again we are living in a winter wonderland. So cold and so beautiful.

DAY THREE HUNDRED SIXTY THREE ... 29 December 2009

Modeling the very too expensive chaise lounge that we do not want from Sofa Mart. Looks fancy enough though.

DAY THREE HUNDRED SIXTY TWO ... 28 December 2009

Gift Registry at Target. We had a blast scanning our most-wanted items, hoping that people would love us and buy them so we don't have to.

DAY THREE HUNDRED SIXTY ONE ... 27 December 2009

Edward is still hanging around the house and creeping everyone out.

DAY THREE HUNDRED SIXTY ... 26 December 2009

Sick on this day. No photos taken. Another Christmas delight. Dave loves pressies.

DAY THREE HUNDRED FIFTY NINE ... 25 December 2009

Merry Christmas blogger world! Our family partook of the most delicious breakfast of the year and enjoyed spending the entire day together. I hope the rest of you were as blessed.

DAY THREE HUNDRED FIFTY EIGHT ... 24 December 2009

We went to see The Blindside for our Christmas Eve movie tradition. I love that movie. Thanks Matt for asking a movie theater worker to take this photo for us after.

DAY THREE HUNDRED FIFTY SEVEN ... 23 December 2009

Message to my mum letting her know we dropped off the Secret Santa gift. I love Christmas.

DAY THREE HUNDRED FIFTY SIX ... 22 December 2009

I laughed my head off when I saw this rotting apple on the floor of Dave's car. It is not like him at all. He remembered to throw it away when the car started smelling funky.

DAY THREE HUNDRED FIFTY FIVE ... 21 December 2009

I wonder where she got that attitude from ....

DAY THREE HUNDRED FIFTY FOUR ... 20 December 2009

I sat on Dave's car after Temple Square and he decided to do a little photo shoot. It was actually quite fun.

DAY THREE HUNDRED FIFTY THREE ... 19 December 2009

We had a real date night! Dave surprised me by taking me to Salt Lake. We had dinner at a wonderful indian restaurant and walked around Temple Square to see the lights. We had the best night ever. I laughed so much and am so thankful for him. It was super foggy though, and we asked a guy to take a photo for us and this is what we got. Nice.

DAY THREE HUNDRED FIFTY TWO ... 18 December 2009

Just hung out with the 'rents because Dave was working and finals are OVER! Such a relief. Here is a cute picture of Taylor and Dave from the Santa party.

DAY THREE HUNDRED FIFTY ONE ... 17 December 2009

Dallin and Ali Hutchinson (middle couple) came to town for Christmas (from Hobart, Tasmania) and they had a party! It was soo much fun to catch up with them. Also, we had a good chat with Ali's cousin Lindsey and her hubs Aaron (left couple), and this awesome guy from Australia named Laurie. Great friends and great food ... they had pavlova ... I was in love.

DAY THREE HUNDRED FIFTY ... 16 December 2009

Too many finals to stress about. But Dave. My oh my, he is my undercover model. Look at this attractive man!

DAY THREE HUNDRED FOURTY NINE ... 15 December 2009

Happy one year anniversary from the day Dave and I first met! I can't believe we've known each other for a year already. He is the love of my life and I am so grateful that we were in the right place at the right time to meet each other and start our life together.

DAY THREE HUNDRED FOURTY EIGHT ... 14 December 2009

Oh how I love my future in-laws. Liz hosted a Utah Cannon siblings dinner and it was spectacular. We had food, talked, shared funny childhood stories, ate some more, and looked at old pictures. (I had never seen pics of baby Dave and just love them. He was so cute!) Thanks to everyone for being awesome.

{l to r: Dave (with his cyborg eye ... weird) & Heather (who is pregnant and adorable!), Jake (who is not actually that tall), Dave & me, and Liz & Owen (her hubs Matt was out of state for a work training)}

DAY THREE HUNDRED FOURTY SEVEN ... 13 December 2009

Definitely the most entertaining Santa party we've ever had at Grandma Stone's house. It was such a blast seeing my good friend Santa again and Dave seemed to have a lot of fun too. I'm grateful that after all these years, this is one tradition that has stayed.

DAY THREE HUNDRED FOURTY SIX ... 12 December 2009

Dear Jessica Simpson,

You and I will look so good together on my wedding day. Yes, all 4 1/2 inches of you.

Love,

Your future amona-wearing bride

DAY THREE HUNDRED FOURTY FIVE ... 11 December 2009

My poor little brother Matt fell and stress fractured his finger while playing with our dog. It was actually really gross because it was loose and moved all around. And then it got really puffy. Dogs cause people weird injuries at our house.

DAY THREE HUNDRED FOURTY TWO ... 08 December 2009

I swear snow makes people drive and park like complete idiots. Please tell me how the whole row of middle cars are supposed to get out of their spaces. The kicker: 15 seconds drive away, there was a whole ton of empty spaces. I even watched a girl park there. And go to institute.

DAY THREE HUNDRED FOURTY ONE ... 07 December 2009

I love the nostalgic Christmas feeling with the lights and the music and the hot chocolate and the love.

DAY THREE HUNDRED FOURTY ... 06 December 2009

Merry Christmas at the bachelor pad!! Love the little tree we decorated.

DAY THREE HUNDRED THIRTY NINE ... 05 December 2009

Oh dear. (P.S. I didn't know I could do that with my eyes, and it kind of freaks me out. hahaha)

DAY THREE HUNDRED THIRTY EIGHT ... 04 December 2009

Fun at the Nixons! Dave was so cute to play with little Kaylie on Julie's iPhone. She's really good at all of those games for only being like 2 years old. We had a blast, eating pizza and pie and ice cream and chatting it up all night long.

DAY THREE HUNDRED THIRTY SEVEN ... 03 December 2009

My Statistics professor, Mr. Lee, thinks he is the funniest thing ever. He demonstrated that he has ESP by picking blue and black dry erase markers out of a bag and knowing what color they were behind his back. Everytime. For like 5 times. I thought it was a funny way to spend class, and was glad I sit in the back corner so I could snap a pic without anyone seeing.

DAY THREE HUNDRED THIRTY SIX ... 02 December 2009

Got our engagement photos back today. Kate is a genius and we love them.

DAY THREE HUNDRED THIRTY FIVE ... 01 December 2009

Didn't take any photos. More of Bear Lake. (we were actually asleep, and Dave was sweet enough to prop my head up with his hand, and it was so comfortable! my mum sneakily snapped this pic as 'evidence that we sleep together'. oh, she thinks she is so funny. i told her that looks bad on her. haha)

DAY THREE HUNDRED THIRTY FOUR ... 30 November 2009

Didn't take any photos. More of Bear Lake.

DAY THREE HUNDRED THIRTY THREE ... 29 November 2009

Yes to Bear Lake.

DAY THREE HUNDRED THIRTY TWO ... 28 November 2009

Dave conveniently forgot his pajamas at home, and when we got to Bear Lake he realised he had to sleep in his jeans. We went to Logan and he got him some new awesome pj bottoms at Wal-Mart. Perfect for enjoying fires in the fireplace, movies, and popcorn all night long.

DAY THREE HUNDRED THIRTY ONE ... 27 November 2009

Matt's dreams came true in Evanston, Wyoming when he discovered fireworks taller than him (and, for the record, my brother is tall). Now he just needs to find $700 laying around and move somewhere where these things aren't illegal.

DAY THREE HUNDRED THIRTY ... 26 November 2009

Happy Thanksgiving! Our first Thanksgiving together was delicious. In more than one way. :)

DAY THREE HUNDRED TWENTY NINE ... 25 November 2009

The cat is now stuck in the animal control cage. Amber feels really bad for it.

DAY THREE HUNDRED TWENTY EIGHT ... 24 November 2009

Definitely in the top ten funniest moments of Prosper history. This cat won't leave us alone and somehow got into the office. Lindsey screamed and Dane chased it out (after it ran around forever).

DAY THREE HUNDRED TWENTY SEVEN ... 23 November 2009

What the footy pajamas as tall as Dave?

DAY THREE HUNDRED TWENTY SIX ... 22 November 2009

I suck at taking photos lately. I do not have one for today. I found an old one from earlier in the year. April I think. Temple Square. Love.

DAY THREE HUNDRED TWENTY FIVE ... 21 November 2009

Oh David Cannon, you are going to look so amazing. Only two more months.

DAY THREE HUNDRED TWENTY FOUR ... 20 November 2009

This is definitely not a new poster, but finally got around to taking photos of it. Dave is such a babe.

DAY THREE HUNDRED TWENTY THREE ... 19 November 2009

The sunset was so beautiful I had to pull over and take a photo. Totally doesn't do it justice.

DAY THREE HUNDRED TWENTY TWO ... 18 November 2009

Baby James fell asleep sucking his thumb while his daddy was eating dinner. It was really precious.

DAY THREE HUNDRED TWENTY ONE ... 17 November 2009

{picture taken 14 Nov}

So much fun with the Utah Cannons! Heather and Dave had a housewarming party to show off their cute new house, and also announced that they are having a BOY by showing us the ultrasound of their baby! It was awesome. [l to r : Matt & Liz (Dave's sis), us, Jake (Dave's bro), Dave & Heather (Dave's sis)]

P.S. to explain the weird look on some faces ... we were trying to show that we were having SO MUCH FUN.

DAY THREE HUNDRED TWENTY ... 16 November 2009

The beauty of the changing seasons. Oh how we love you. {Sometimes}

DAY THREE HUNDRED NINETEEN ... 15 November 2009

Church has never looked so good. I heart argyle. And Dave.

DAY THREE HUNDRED EIGHTEEN ... 14 November 2009

Double Date Night with Christy and Jason! We had a blast shopping at Wal-Mart, making fondue, and watching "Gattaca". And we enjoyed some smooching too. :) Yay for family and love.

DAY THREE HUNDRED SEVENTEEN ... 13 November 2009

A little bit of a mixup at the Institute Homecoming Date Dance. I mistakenly thought it was formal dress. It was actually very very casual. So we went home and changed. But no worries, it was fun to dress up for a few minutes anyways. And amazing to relive some memories from our first institute dance that was a bit of a big deal. Aaaand Dave is a fantastic dancer, so that is always a plus.

DAY THREE HUNDRED SIXTEEN ... 12 November 2009

Camille Carter Rothe's wedding reception at Highland Gardens. It was so lovely. And made me so excited for my own wedding (which is going to be quite elegant FYI) at Le Chateau in Provo!!! (only 10 weeks away now!)

DAY THREE HUNDRED FIFTEEN ... 11 November 2009

Because we always have some sort of wonderful anniversary to celebrate. And because we are in love.

DAY THREE HUNDRED FOURTEEN ... 10 November 2009

Thanks to my dear friend Amber, I will have something delightful like this to put in my hair for my wedding. So lovely!

DAY THREE HUNDRED THIRTEEN ... 09 November 2009

Wedding dress shopping with my mum over the weekend! Second store was the right store (Sweetheart Bridal) and we found a dress! And the lady took money off the price cause she's awesome. And I fit in it perfectly (before the holidays that is ... )(and it is made for someone who is 6 inches taller than me, so we need to fix that too). Afterwards we went and got Coldstone ice cream and it was fantastic. I love my mum so much! {p.s. aren't my mum's eyes amazing???}
