Russ and I in Salt Lake after the Neil Diamond concert!

If the shoe fits...

At work, all the speech ladies made all the teachers these shoes with candy! Kinda random but SUPER CUTE!!!

Ugly Sweater Party!

We had an Christmas ugly sweater party and it was awesome! Check out our UGLY sweaters!

We played 'The Newlywed Game'. Russ and I tied with two other couples for LAST PLACE!!

Jesse was intently watching 'ELF'!! :)

AQUABATS

Can you say RANDOM!!!!? Jessica's (my sister) boyfriend is manager of the AQUABATS so we went to their concert in Salt Lake last night. It was the most RANDOM thing we had ever seen but it was really entertaining! :) We went back stage and hung out with the band beforehand and got to stand up in the crows nest. The Aquabats also help with the kid show YO GABBA GABBA so we even got a picture with DJ Lance!!

It's FINISHED!

When I was in high school, my mom and I went to Texas to a quilt show and got this cute design. I started it then but then didn't finish it until this past summer and it just got quilted so now it is finally FINISHED!!!

CANDY CANES

When we were in California for THANKSGIVING we went to an old fashion candy shop where they showed us how you make CANDY CANES! It was so amazing to see! This blob of golden sugar makes 400 candy canes!! (Our cute little nieces and nephew are the ones closest to the window!!

Happy Birthday Russ!

Today was Russ's 25th birthday! Yeah! Here's some pics of the festivities!

You're probably thinking that this is a really random present but Russ's cute little nephew, Miles, has a shirt just like it and Russ told me one day that he wanted a shirt like that so I made one for him!!!

Happy Birthday Russell!!!!!!

Halloween!

So I know it's a little late but I wanted to put up this cute picture of Russ's niece and nephews at Halloween! We went out to Russell's parents house for Halloween night and Jen and her kids were there so we got to see them before and after Trick or treating! Aren't they cute!

Confession...

Now that Halloween is over, you can now OFFICIALLY listen to Christmas music! Hooray! But Russ and I have been listening to Christmas music since the beginning of October! I knew I married the right man when he let me listen to Christmas October 1st! I love it!!

Vinyl Blog

So I've had my vinyl blog up and running FOREVER but have been trying to work out a few kinks because I'm computer illiterate and don't have time to learn! So even though there's still some kinks I am finally adding a link to this blog. Check it out and enjoy!!

Carmel Apple Goodness!

Logan and Miles playing together!
The crew!
Emma helping Cole out!

So... when Russ and I were frozen out of our house last weekend we stayed at Mama Sues and decided to make carmel apples! Brent and Tristin and their boys and Becca and Joel and their kids came over and the fun began! It was fun seeing the kids play together and we made the best carmel apples ever!!

RANDOMNESS!!

I was looking through my camera and found some random pics I thought I'd blog from this past summer... Enjoy!

Russ and I went to the Clark Planetarium this summer! Here's a pic of Russ on the moon and me on Mars! I know... super random but it was FUN!
Russ and I with the COWS this summer!
This is the only picture we got on our Honeymoon! It's a picture of Russ showing how manly he is in West Yellowstone!

Freeze out!

Apparently we never got our gas turned on... so Friday evening Russ got cold (I'm always cold) so we decided to turn the heat on and it didn't work and that's when we realized that our gas wasn't on... then we realized that it was Friday night so we wouldn't get heat until Monday (or if Questar is closed for Columbus day then not until Tuesday)! Then we realized that it was getting colder and colder and it was supposed to snow the next day! I was FREEZING and I'm a wuss so we packed up and went to Mama Sue's house in Kaysville for the next two nights but we came back for our church today. It is still BITTER COLD! So we are currently standing by the oven looking outside at all the snow! Hopefully Questar is open tomorrow....

More wedding pics...

I know you are probably sick of wedding pictures but we just got our pictures from our wedding day and I wanted to post a few of my favorite!

Our photographer had done one similar to this for Chelsea's wedding and wanted to do one with us too!




There was a big dancing group from Mexico that was taking pictures of us so our photographer asked them if they wanted to be in one! This is a SUPER funny picture! I love Russ's face!

HOLIDAY date

Russ told me I was in charge of our date last weekend and being the nerd that I am- I decided to do a 'themed' date of HOLIDAYS! Here's what we did:
President's Day: President's Quiz
Valentine's Day: Made valentines for each other
Easter: We were going to do an easter egg hunt but I forgot to get eggs!
Halloween: Carved a pumpkin
Thanksgiving: Made Banana Cream Pie
Christmas: Watched 'Joy to the World' and watched Russ open a present
New Years: Ate cheese fondue and sparkling cider and watched a youtube movie of the New York ball dropping!

I know I am super cheesy but it was a fun night! We only got a couple pics of the first couple things!

'I choo choo choose you!' Thanks Russ!
Carving a pumpkin at the beginning of September!

St George Weekend!

Hello Hello! Sorry I haven't posted FOREVER! We've been married almost a month now and it has been GREAT! I started work a few weeks ago and Russ started school last week. I start school this week. So life is picking up but it's so good to be together! This past weekend we went to St. George with my mom and Brother. We went to some historic sites (I know...we're cool!) then we went to Les Miserables at the Tuacahan theater! It was so much fun! Here are some of our pics (the first ones we've taken since we've been married!).

Three days and counting...

Russ and I get married in THREE DAYS! It's crazy that it is already here! We're so excited!! We took our "groomals" (bridals with the groom) a couple months ago but I couldn't post any until right before. Here are a few of my favorites!

Russ is HOME!

Russ is finally HOME! We were so excited to see each other! This is a picture of us after a 3 1/2 hour testimony meeting with his church history group! It was so good and it was so good to see him again! 

Church History Trip

Here's some pics from Russ's Church History trip. They went to all the church history sites and some American History sites in D.C. He loved it and everyone loved him!
