A cute New Apartment




Things around here have been going really good. We both have started back up again at Utah State University and we are really excited to get one more semester behind us. I am graduating this spring, which is making this semester not as bad as most winters. Drew is taking one class on campus and the rest are online so that helps with making his schooling not so bad. We live for the weekends where we... (mostly he) goes up the canyon and get a little snowmobiling/skiing in. I used to be so nervous going cause its a little scary when you have to stand on one side while he stands on the other of the snowmobile... while you crawl up pretty steep stuff. Last time we went however, it was the most beautiful day! I loved being out of the smog and up in the most beautiful blue skies. And the snow was buttery so that was a definite bonus.

Something else that is new is we just moved into a cute apartment! The house we are now living in has so much character. We are living in the upstairs of a house close by the temple. I love that it has a laundry shoot, ironing board that come out of a cupboard in the dining room, the built in shelving, and who can forget the one of a kind doorbell. Its so fun to feel cosy yet have some room to move around. I'm excited to begin new memories here and hopefully we wont have to move for a while!

A Bud K New Year!




This year for New Year's Eve, us and our friends had a gift exchange. Now this wasn't your average gift exchange, it was a BUD K weapon gift giving extravaganza. My friend Jenny (and some other people) had the best idea of everyone going to BUD K.com and picking something out that was around $10.00. When the items arrived she wrapped up all the gifts in boxes so we wouldn't know what anything looked like. On the boxes she put remarks that previous purchasers made about the items. Some examples of the remarks were... " For a real mountain man" and "Great for practicing my honing skills." Anyways, it was so fun watching people open their weapons and laughing really hard at the size of some of the knifes. Such a fun night! Love the nights where you laugh so hard it hurts.

Anyways... Happy New Years!


P.S. Thanks Jon if you are reading this for the pics

Cruisin'


Wow, it has been a while since i last wrote on my blog! It seems like just last week was August! Where did September or October go! I need to slow down so that i enjoy this beautiful fall season.

Last week me and Drew went with some friends on a Cruise to the Western Caribbean! It was so fun. We got to eat amazing food, lay in the sun, and not worry about anything.

Ok.... so just a little heads up there will be a lot of pictures!

This is one of the pools on our ship! This was the part of the ship that we spent most of our time. It has a huge screen TV so you could watch movies and swim at the same time (my personal favorite thing to do). Also the buffet, pizza place, and ice-cream stand was just below the TV so we definitely needed to be close to that.
This is cute Mandi and Jason who we went with! They are so awesome and we had a great time with them!

Grand Caymans

Our first stop was the Grand Caymans... and the water was amazing! We took a taxi to Seven Mile Beach. I have never been to such an amazing beach. The sand was so white and fine. We were in heaven!


I loved this place. I definitely want to come back, and spend a week on this beach!
Oh and there i am.... Long arms and all.

See how clear that water is!

Roatan, Honduras

Our next stop was Roatan, Honduras. We got off the ship and rented a car and drove all around the Island. This place was so green and beautiful. It also was such a huge eye opener for me. There is a lot of poverty here and it made me so grateful for everything i have been blessed with. It was fun to see their culture. Also it was fun to hear Drew talk some spanish again.

Talent.

This Lady was selling shoes on the side of the road.
A scenic view of Roatan.


Milk in the bag. Drew said this is also what he drank in Argentina. He said it wasn't that great tasting. I really looked like a tourist taking this picture.


Cozumel, Mexico

Here in Cozumel we got off the ship and rented some scooters! That was quite the adventure! Here is Mandi and Jason sporting their really bad smelling helmets.

I liked Drew's helmet the best.

Gomer on the back!

We drove a while down the road and came to some Mayan Ruins. They were really interesting but we really didn't learn to much about them because we didn't get a guide. But we got some great pictures:)


We drove a little bit further down the road and i found this guy. Yeah i don't know what i was thinking, but it was awesome while i was holding it. Now i look at it and i don't know what i was thinking!
Now for my favorite part of the trip! The waves in Cozumel were huge! I love to swim in big waves! The pictures don't really do it justice cause they don't really show you how big they got but they reminded me of Hawaii's waves! Should of got a surf board eh?



Loved the Coke in Mexico!


Bahamas

This day was pretty laid back and the weather was kinda bad so we didn't do much. We just kinda chilled on the beach, played in some seaweed water, and tried to get our last rays of sun before the trip ended.
THE END!
Sorry that was quite the long post! Love you all!

3 years



10 things i have learned about Drew while being married....


1. Drew is a good dancer. (I'm not talkin about twirling around, I'm talking hip-hoping good. haha he is going to love that I said that... not!)

7. Drew can always make me laugh, no matter how mad i am.
8. Drew really really really really likes to hunt and fish. (Oh and he just got a elk! Congrats to him, and to me.... i have to figure out how to cook it!)
9. Drew doesn't like his sheets tucked in by his feet.

Going Greek


Hold me back.... I have found something new that i can't resist! And that something is GREEK YOGURT. Ok, now i know that most of you have tried greek yogurt before, but have you tried"The Greek Gods" Honey yogurt. You might just take one bite and think you died and gone to heaven. Yes its that good. Totally worth the money and totally worth the calories. And might i add that greek yogurt has 2 times the protein of regular yogurt. I wake up in the morning and can't wait for breakfast. Well, who are we kidding, i go to bed at night thinking about breakfast.

A Little Park City Adventure


Park City + Good food + Fun People= Good times

We went to the best pizza place ever. Adam (Drew's little Bro) got a pizza that came out looking like a salad. We all laughed about it when he got it, but it ending up being my favorite pizza of the night!
Good times on the elevator. Never a dull moment really.


We love our Toms! We all had them on the whole time! Seriously though, i have worn mine every day since i got them.



I had never been the to the Art Festival in the downtown area. It was amazing to see all the beautiful art.

Pretty much just scared to ride the alpine slide for the first time in my life. I laughed the whole time.

I have a new love for Park City.
