Day 222: Tuesday 31 August 2010

Hurray for our new matching cabin shoes! We got them from KMart, which I normally would not be a huge fan of, but they are awesome so I am willing to make an exception!

Day 221: Monday 30 August 2010

Winner Winner Chicken Dinner ... or flat screen tv. This guy at my work was happy to win, even though he knew all along that he would.

Day 220: Sunday 29 August 2010

It has been fun getting to know Matt's girlfriend Hilary over the past little while. She's so young but super sweet and they seem to have fun together.

Day 219: Saturday 28 August 2010

Getting a little silly at a cousin get together in the park, Jason and Dave started risking their lives. I love that they are dressed alike. Cute.

Day 218: Friday 27 August 2010

At our ward campout ... Tay Tay was so mesmerized by the fire in the fireplace. It was too rainy and we didn't sleep over, but we had some great food and met some awesome people. Our ward rocks!

Day 217: Thursday 26 August 2010

no photo taken today

Day 216: Wednesday 25 August 2010

I love this guy and how cute he looked when taking a nap on Sunday.

Day 215: Tuesday 24 August 2010

We are such winners. Seriously, this is why we are together.

Day 214: Monday 23 August 2010

I got to Skype with my amazing Ann!!! She is looking so cute and pregnant and she let me take this photo of her on the computer. I am so glad we got to talk face-to-face, even if she is in New Zealand and we stayed up really late (for me ... she was still in early evening over there). I just love her and miss her soooo much and can't believe she is going to be a mommy already.

Day 213: Sunday 22 August 2010

I made a new skirt and I love it! We took advantage of the air coming from the air conditioner and got a little silly. So fun.

Day 212: Saturday 21 August 2010

We went on a picnic hike to a hill overlooking the valley at Dry Canyon. It was so beautiful and just so relaxing. We did this same thing last year when we were dating and it was so much more fun this time around because we didn't have any curfews and could just be there together and talk and relax and be. I love Dave and I love our amazing Earth!

Day 211: Friday 20 August 2010

Alex and Ben's wedding! We got to go to their ring ceremony and wedding dinner, as well as their reception. It was so beautiful and we felt extremely honored to be there. Alex and Ben are good friends of Dave's from a few years ago and Alex is the most beautiful girl ever! Congrats to them!

Day 210: Thursday 19 August 2010

No pics taken

Day 210: Wednesday 18 August 2010

We went to my dear friend Todd Jensen's wedding! Todd and I met our first weeks in our singles ward and were friends for about a year and a half until I got married. He is great, Maggie is sweet, and I am so excited for them!

{p.s. todd dwarfs all of us!}

Day 208: Monday 16 August 2010

This is what I came home to today. My love was making us some breakfast for dinner. I am so lucky to have him!

Day 207: Sunday 15 August 2010

In love with this breathtaking hike we took yesterday.

Day 206: Saturday 14 August 2010

More birthday celebrations! We went back up to Snowbird for the day to use our all-day fun passes. We did the zipline, alpine slide (our favorite! we did that 3 times), had a picnic lunch, and then rode the pervian chairlift to the top and hiked around. It was so beautiful and the weather was so perfect.

Day 205: Friday 13 August 2010

We finally got together with Angela and Spencer! We haven't seen them since we got married and have both just been so busy lately. They came down and we had a BBQ and spent the evening sucking helium out of balloons to make funny voices and catching up. I love Ang and am so glad we are still so close.

Day 204: Thursday 12 August 2010

We met up with Lindsey at one of our good friend Mike's wedding reception. It was such a gorgeous night and a beautiful wedding. We had so much fun catching up with Linds and were entertained by all the crazies on the dance floor.

Day 203: Wednesday 11 August 2010

We made some delicions Chicken Tikka Masala for dinner and it was superb, especially with homemade chapati on the side. Yummmmmmmmm. I especially love that Dave really enjoys tasting food. It sounds silly, but he really does just appreciate good-tasting food and focuses on it when he eats. He is awesome.

Day 202: Tuesday 10 August 2010

Loving the lovely days we have been having recently. Now I just wish I could spend more time enjoying them and less time inside without any windows in sight.

Day 201: Monday 09 August 2010

We grilled some burgers for dinner and it actually felt like summer!! Dave decided on a double cheeseburger, with lettuce, tomato, and avocado. I'm not sure how he got it to fit in his mouth, but it sure looked tasty.

Day 200: Sunday 08 August 2010

We got invited to hang out with Thora and the rest of the fam before they left to go back to Texas. Pool was the game of choice. Here Matt and Jake plan out their latest moves.

{side note: 200 days???!!! I can't believe how fast time has gone by!}

Day 199: Saturday 07 August 2010

Wonderful Birthday celebrations!

-The gorgeous view from our room
-Some wonderful Iranian friends we met who decided we were like family
-Leaving our mark on another tree
-Free delicious dinner at Benihanas

Day 198: Friday 06 August 2010

Let the celebrations begin! We finally got to celebrate Dave's birthday (since last weekend was family weekend). I surprised him with a nights stay at Snowbird and dinner with his good friends, Matt and Calah. They are soooo awesome! We ate at the Cheesecake Factory and had such an awesome time.

Day 197: Thursday 05 August 2010

Got to see this little guy today! Lincoln, Dave's sister Heather's baby, is the most adorable thing ever.

Day 196: Wednesday 04 August 2010

Dave's parents took us to Brick Oven for his birthday. It was so much fun to get some personal time with them while they are here from Texas.

Day 195: Tuesday 03 August 2010

We finally got a washer and dryer! Some friends that used to be in our ward gave them to us when they moved. We are so happy and grateful. And we are also especially grateful that Christy and Jason let us use theirs for 6 whole months.

Day 194: Monday 02 August 2010

We had a family reunion with my mum's side of the family on Saturday at Mutual Dell (in American Fork Canyon). We got to do the zipline for a couple hours and it was so fun.

Day 193: Sunday 01 August 2010

Happy Birthday to my baby! His sister Thora, who is in town from Texas, threw him a birthday party and it was so great. I love this girl so much.

Day 192: Saturday 31 July 2010

Dave's nephew, Owen, was baptized today! It was so great to have some family in town from Texas for the special day and Liz (Dave's sister) even decorated this awesome Pirate cake for Owen. She's talented!

Day 191: Friday 30 July 2010

Another favorite from my mum's birthday party last night.

{my mum definitely doesn't look 50. she's so beautiful and looks so young}

Wednesday, August 11, 2010

Day 190: Thursday 29 July 2010

Happy (late) Birthday to my mum! We celebrated a day late since she works in the temple on Wednesday nights. It was really awesome being able to spend some time with her and party the night away with her. She doesn't look anywhere near 50 and I just love her so so much.

Day 189: Wednesday 28 July 2010

Christy painted this cute little thing for her friends' son from a drawing he had done. I love it and think she is just so creative and artistic.

Day 188: Tuesday 27 July 2010

We decorated my dad's office tonight as a surprise for my mum tomorrow. It's her 50th Birthday and my dad wanted to make sure we made a bigger deal out of it than normal. Love the headstones and black balloons.

Day 187: Monday 26 July 2010

No pic taken today.

Day 186: Sunday 25 July 2010

I love the Gateway at night.

Sunday, July 25, 2010

Day 185: Saturday 24 July 2010

Davey and I went on a date! It feels like it's been forever since we've actually gone on a formal date. We decided to go up to the Gateway and eat at Happy Sumo. The food was mediocre but we had the best time ever. The people next to us kept looking at us weird because we were constantly laughing. I loved it and am so grateful for my husband and how he can make me laugh at any moment. And he's also really really attractive.

Day 184: Friday 23 July 2010

My parents came over to visit and so we sat in the grass and enjoyed the wonderful summer evening. I love my family!!

Day 183: Thursday 22 July 2010

It was fun looking through our wedding photos and remembering how much I look like my own in-law. Could Dave's hair color match Angie, Christy, and Matt's any more perfectly?!

{oh yeah, and someone at work saw my family picture and thought Jason and Brett were my brothers because I don't look like anyone else. hahahaha}

Day 182: Wednesday 21 July 2010

It's our SIX MONTH wedding anniversary! I really can't believe it's already been 6 whole months. It's so cliche, but I really do love Dave more now than I ever did then. I didn't take any photos today, so I picked one of my favorites from our wedding. Even though everyone else was freezing cold, we were so happy!

Day 181: Tuesday 20 July 2010

Today was a better day, but still kind of lame. Wishing Lindsey could come back for some more Neon Mentos. Haha.

Day 180: Monday 19 July 2010

Probably ones of the most stressful/lamest days of my life. Definitely no pictures taken today (or almost the whole week).

This pic was taken at the Secondhand Serenade concert and just makes me laugh. Yummy slurpee. :)

Day 179: Sunday 18 July 2010

Playing in the hollow pine tree in my grandma's back yard. So many memories here from our awesome childhood!

Day 178: Saturday 17 July 2010

The Secondhand Serenade concert! This was our second year going and we just loved it!

Day 177: Friday 16 July 2010

Tough girls wearing black for Lindsey's 'funeral'.

{andrea looks like she's going to kill someone}

Day 176: Thursday 15 July 2010

Lindsey's farewell potluck lunch. Yummy food and an adorably funny cake.

Day 175: Wednesday 14 July 2010

Hilarity at work.

Day 174: Tuesday 13 July 2010

Found this on my camera the other day. He took it to document that he left me a note (that I found much quicker than the photo ... sneaky). I love him so much.

Day 173: Monday 12 July 2010

Randomly posing for me after rearranging the living room furniture.

Day 172: Sunday 11 July 2010

Sunday dinner with the Jensens! Christy and Jason were in the middle of moving to a bigger apartment next door to their old one and invited us to have a yummy dinner with them in the new kitchen.

Day 171: Saturday 10 July 2010

Playing Raving Rabids on the Wii at our friends' house. So much fun.

Day 170: Friday 09 July 2010

I got to see my good MTC friend Kari at her wedding reception. I loved seeing her so happy.

{don't judge me for wearing the same outfit 2 days in a row ... I really only wore it to the wedding both times, and it was the most convenient thing to put on}
