DisneyLand!!

A few weeks ago Bryce and I took a trip to California, to visit Bryces family and to hang out with my family at Disneyland! Call me a child, but I felt gitty walking in! We spent two days in Disneyland and even though it was really hot we had such a good time, and even managed to get season passes.
Gotta Love Disneyland!

Conference in D.C.

The Smithsonian

Declaration of Independance! So cool!

My FAVORITE PRESIDENT!

The Beautiful National Harbor

Washington Memorial

So these last few months have been crazy! Work has kept me traveling alot over these last few months. First it was Family Camp in Jackson Hole WY, which my whole family came to and it was a blast! Then just last week I had a conference in Washington D.C. I was really excited because I had been to D.C. when I was 13 but I didnt remember much so I really felt like i was going for the first time. My parents decided to come with me to D.C. a few days before my conference to go exploring, and even though it was blistering hot and humid (which i absolutely hate being hot!) we still managed to have a really good time! I am so glad my parents were able to come with me, it made it so much fun! So out of everything we saw in D.C. I have to admit that the Lincoln Memorial was my absolute favorite, not just because its an awesome statue, but because Lincoln was truly the greatest president we ever had. He stood for everything a president of the United States should stand for! It was truly amazing to be in a place with so much of our nations history, seeing the declaration of independance and constitution was an especially humbling experience.

The conference was really lame but Emily made it bareable, it was nice to have one of my staff with me this time, we had alot of fun together. (Thanks Em!) Overall D.C. was awesome! I love my job!

My first sewing project!

So I have never really learned how to sew, so this was a big project for me. I went to the store to buy some curtians for our room and it would have cost over $70 for the ones I liked so i decided to be brave and try and make my own. I bought the material for $10 and started sewing by hand, after hours and hours of sewing and re-sewing i decided to use one of the sewing machines in the 4H office. I had to have someone from work show me how to use the sewing machine ( i know, sad huh) and I used one of the Sewing machines in the office to finish my project.

The lines are really crooked, and up close you can totally tell they are home made but i was proud of my first sewing project. It not only saved me a ton of money but it gave me the desire to try some other sewing projects. :)

Family House warming BBQ

So we finally had my family over for a House warming party a few weeks ago, to show everyone our new house. We had a BBQ and snowcones! It was so nice to have everyone in our new house. Though it was kinda wierd having to be the host for the first time, its usually my mom. I guess i am officially growing up. :) Thanks family for coming over! We love you guys!

Anniversary in Vegas

Celebrating our 2 year anniversary

The Show

Our Hotel

Our room

Bryce and I have been married TWO whole years now. It has really gone by so fast. We had a wonderful anniversary weekend in Las Vegas, and we went to Cirque Du Solei's "O" one of the best shows in all of Vegas. And it was amazing! The rest of the time we went out to eat at massive buffets, walked around the different hotels & shopped. Bryce got me a guess watch for our anniversary ( i havent taken it off since, i love it!) and tickets to see Collective Soul in concert with some of our friends and a really sweet card ( i love sentimental things!) . He really out did me, I got him a t-shirt & some movies :). We had such a great time we didnt want to come home.

random gift

So bryce and I were bored on sunday, so i decided to wrap up something I was going to give him on our anniversary and let him open it. I tried to make it really hard to unwrap, but suprisingly he got through it really fast. It was so funny watching him unwrap it, he's like a little kid. Anyway, I got him his favorite disney movie, THE MIGHTY DUCKS and we watched it together. Good times!

The new deck

As some of you may know, Bryce loves construction and anything to do with building. So his first project since moving into our new house was to build a deck. This was his first time building a deck and I was a little nervous as so how it would turn out but he did an amazing job. And all i had to do was help him paint. :)

Salt Lake Temple

This weekend Bryce's counsin was getting married so we spent a whole day with Bryces family up in Salt Lake it was a beautiful wedding, luncheon and reception. And such a prime time to get married, during tulip season, the flowers were gorgeous! Though it did rain most of the day the pictures were still beautiful. The Salt Lake Temple is by far the most gorgeous temple!

Our new home

This is our new home! Some of you have asked for pictures and though we arent completely done decorating/organizing everything just yet I thought I would give you a glimpse into our new home. We have officially been moved in for about 3 weeks and didnt realize how little furniture we had until we tried to furnish an entire house, but we figure it will take some time before we can get every room the way we want it. And the back yard is unfinished so that's Bryces summer project; a lawn, deck and fence! And I am going to attempt to plant my very first garden and lucky for me I work with lots of people who are expert gardeners. So we will see how that goes. Anyway, we are so happy to be living in our new home and even more happy that the government is giving a huge tax break to first time home buyers!!

Family Room

Where we spend most of our time! :)
