One Year!!

Yesterday was our ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY! I can't believe it has been a year already! It has been the best year of my life! I'm so blessed to have such a wonderful husband who loves me so much. He always makes me feel special and happy. He is the funniest, craziest guy and is my best friend. I love him with all my pieces and I'm lucky to have him as my hubby. There isn't anyone out there that I would rather spend forever with!

To celebrate we went to dinner and a movie and just spent the day together. It was perfect. Love Love Love!

Vacation

Well, I am now back in school which isn't the greatest news. I'm not normally on track in the summer so it is hard to go to class when I want to be outside enjoying the beautiful weather. But it's going pretty good so far, so hopefully the semester is a good one.

We had about a week and a half between winter and summer semesters and we were able to get away for a little bit and enjoy some time off. First we got to go and see my friend Ali and her husband Ryan. I went to highschool with Ali and haven't seen her in forever so it was SOO fun to stay with them. We went to see a Kalai concert. It was AWESOME. He was so good! We then played some Mario Cart on the Wii and just hung out. I miss you already Ali!!

Then on Friday we got to see my friend Amanda get married! It was such a beautiful wedding and she looked like a princess. I was a bridesmaid so I got to help her out and give her the wedding night talk. ;) It was a lot of fun. here's us bridesmaids at the sign in book! Pretty Amanda!


Next it was easter with my family! It was so much fun. I always have such a hard time leaving when we go and stay with my parents. We had an easter egg hunt sunday morning. I wish I had pics from it because it was pretty funny. We have done it ever since I was little. You have to find your basket and then all your eggs. My parents hid little packs of mike and ikes for dan, my bro taylor and I to find and they put one inside a movie case. Luckily that was dans pack and he couldn't find it forever. poor guy. It was such a blast being there with them!



Next on the agenda was a campout in Zion National Park. Ryan and Whitt met us down in Utah and then we drove on down to Zion. When we got to the park there wasn't any room to camp in the site. That was a pretty big bummer but we drove around for a little bit and found a place just down the road. It was on a river and wasn't technically a campsite. But that made it all the more perfect. We had our own little site all to ourselves right on the river. It was so fun! We did an off-roading hike in Zion up to the emerald pools and now we all have hard-core battle wounds. Sadly the weather wasn't too great for most of the week. We got rained and snowed on but thats okay we toughed it out and had fun anyway.

we bought SOOOO much food!! it was worth it tho. we ate like kings!

This is our great campsite before we had camp set up. Isn't it perfect?


the boys had HUGE tin foil dinners



we bathed in the river... BAD IDEA! It was so freezing! I was blue from head to toe. :)some would call us BAMFswe are warriors
we made it! the third emerald pool. It is so gorgeous up there! this is the fire wood ryan collected.




our dutch oven dinners... cheesy potatoes and lemon pepper chicken. MMMMMMM. lesson learned: dutch ovens are annoying to clean...

yay it was so much fun! too bad the wind broke our tent and then we accidentally broke it a little more so now it's a little bit useless. But it's okay because it had a good life and we had a great time.

Long time, no post. Sorry I haven't given anyone an update on our lives in forever. But we are alive and well. :) Here are some things that have happened with us in the last month or so.

1. We moved into our apartment in Idaho Falls. Its a good size for us and we really like it. Oh wait... our neighbors below us SMOKE in the apartment A LOT so our place smells like smoke every now and then. Its annoying and I have been trying to talk to the manager about it but communication has been difficult with him. We have purchased a few things of febreeze that have become my best friend. Dan thinks the smell is in my head most of the time. I disagree. We also got a really delicious air freshner. It looks sort of like this. So it's cute and it smells good. win-win.
2. My lovely cousin Celeste got married. It was a beautiful wedding. i don't really have any pics because I forgot my camera. I'm a really bad cousin apparantly. Anyway, her dress was gorgeous and she looked beautiful. It was a happy occasion. At the reception people got up and were saying nice things in the microphone about the couple. My cousin McCall and I knew we had to say something because us three are really close. So me and mccall went off and tried to come up with something clever and funny to say and right when we came up with the greatest thing... the mic closed down for people to talk. Well, they let us come up anyway and it was embarrassing because people made a big deal that we HAD to go up there and turns out what we said wasn't as funny as we thought it was. Still... overall... a success. The night before we had a shower and bachelerette party for Celestey. We went bowling and had a blast being silly...and naughty. Heres a pic from the shower. The Bride is in the middle.
3. Dan kicked open and broke our front door. I actually do have pictures of this but I don't have my camera with me so I will upload them at another time. Anyway... Heres the story. Another really big plus about our apartment is the locks are ridiculous. The dead bolt works okay but the other lock is messed up. It will lock but it will NOT unlock. We generally don't lock that one except at night but one day Dan wasn't thinking and just locked it before we left. We went throughout the day having a lovely and carefree time with eachother. We rented some movies and came back home to enjoy them. Well our key was not unlocking the door. We stood there for who knows how long trying to get it unlocked. We gave up and went to McDonalds. When it still didn't open after trying again we went to some friends house. Then Dan decides he CAN get it open. Which he does. However, he was sick of trying to get it unlocked and decided it would be super cool to kick the door down. So thats what he did. Well it let us in the house but it also took the door frame off the wall. NICE. luckily we are handy folks and we have fixed it ourselves. No big deal that now our lock works worse, you can see where we glued the frame back on, and now the wall surrounding the door is a different color then the rest of the wall because the white spray paint didn't match up exactly. But other than that I think it looks great. It was pretty hilarious so it was hard for us to be really upset about it. Here is a pic of what Dan looked like. Just imagine the other person as a door instead.
4. We have been working all the time. Carinos Italian is where we spend most of our time. It is a good job. especially while we are going to school. Dan has to wear a brace to work because of his floppy foot. Sadly, his brace has very recently broken in half. It was specially made for his leg and cost a grand so I'm really hoping its under warranty still.
5. FINALS. SCHOOL IS ALMOST OVER. I have two days left of class and then the semester is over. YES YES YES. I have three finals to go. It shouldn't be too bad but I will be studying a lot over the next day or two. I'm just so happy this semester is over. It went incredibly fast.

That is basically what is going on with us at the moment. Unless you want to count the fact that I am reading the Twilight series again. and I love the movie. and I can't wait for the movie 17 Again to come out because Zac Efron is in it and it looks fabulous. But Dan does NOT want to count that so there ya go. :)
