SHOUT OUT

This one's for you, sweetie boy:


HAPPY BIRTHDAY!


My man is 24 today. Yep... the big 2-4. *What a man, what a man, what a man, what a mighty good mannnn.

*reference to "Whatta Man" by Salt N Pepa

We've celebrated this day by: sleeping in an extra 15 mins this morning, resulting in a 7:30 wake-up time instead of 7:15, going to school (and he's been at work too), later opening up some presents from the wifey (namely me), enjoying a bite to eat, playing at our late-night kickball game, and later having some friends over to eat some ice cream cake. YAY. I sure do hope he's been having a good day. It stinks that we've been apart all day, and especially that neither of us are doing anything fun during that time apart. I wish it was Saturday so we could go out and do something together during the day, and make it more of a celebration, but at least tonight will be fun!

I have a lot of classes that deal with marriage and family, so lately my mind has been on me and Luke even more than before. I've been thinking a lot about how our relationship began and everything that occurred before and after we started dating. Basically, I am the luckiest girl in the world. Everything that has happened between Luke and I has been the biggest blessing, and I couldn't be any happier. I thought today, being his birthday, would be an appropriate time to say that I am the happiest I have ever been. I am so glad Luke stuck with me, and that we started dating, and that we are now happily married, and that I have an amazing, extremely handsome husband who make me laugh, smile, and happy.

PS: If you would also like to feel grateful for the people in your life, all you have to do is go see The Time Traveler's Wife.


Anyways.... a photo update is much needed, so that will be coming up soon!

Busy bees

Welllppp... we sure have been busy bees lately. With what, you ask? Well let me tell you:

-School is back up and running so we've moved back to Provo and we're all settled into our apartment. Well.... mostly set up. Actually we still have a long way to go. But we actually have a couch now, so our bed is no longer in our family room. What kind of bed do we have? Please don't ask because that's a little embarrassing. Oh and we now have electricity in our bedrooms. We lived the first three weeks without it. So little by little, our apartment is getting better.

- We went to Vegas for the 3 day weekend last week. Hen and Jared made the trip down from LA also so we all stayed with Luke's parents for a few nights. Talk about fun! We had a FULL lake day complete with jetskis, boating, and tubing.





After the lake we did a little BBQ action and watched BYU cream Oklahoma. What a fun weekend.



- It ended perfectly... an hour and a half away from home on our drive back our car decided to break down. Breaking down in the middle of nowhere at 10pm is always fun. We just loved it. Thank goodness for good friends who came to our rescue and picked us up. What life savers!

-Last weekend we went to the Utah State Fair! It was my first time to a fair, and I loved it. We went down a big yellow slide on potato sacks, watched the bear show and the rodeo, ate funnel cake, drank too much lemonade, and Luke even won me a stuffed animal tiger from one of the games he won! What a man.












-We've started our intramural kickball team. I know... who knew there was such a thing? I sure didn't until we enrolled. Luke is on 5 other intramurals, which keep him busy. I have found a new love for tennis. We played last night with Kevin and Kelli, and had a lot of fun. I want to play more.

- We occupy our nights with our shows (or rather MY shows): SYTYCD, ANTM, GG, and WIPEOUT which we love.

bassssically thats just about it. Busy busy busy. But loving it :)

PS: How cute is my husband?



Prettttty dang.
