Adams Canyon

Jake and I had a great weekend. The sun was finally out and we could get a taste of the nice spring weather! We went hiking up Adams Canyon Sunday morning and took Jared's dog Cowgirl! She is such a great dog and we had such a great time. I love the summer time and all the fun activities there is to do at anytime of the day. Unfortunately being up there triggered my allergies and I have been miserable all day but at least it is a phase and it will pass by.
Hope everyone has a great week!

This picture I blinked right when it was taken and look awful but Jake looked cute so I thought I would still post it, try not to notice me haha!

Grey's Anatomy

I am starting to feel quite pathetic. Grey's Anatomy has been my favorite show since season one episode 1. Last night they had their 100th episode, and sitting there I realized that I have not missed a single episode. That means 100 hours sometimes they are two hours so that would mean more of just sitting on my butt in front of the TV haha, but to be honest it is so worth it. Jake knows the routine every thursday we hurry and make dinner at 7 and then by 8 he has to leave and go do something for an hour while it is one because I hate watching it with him because he talks through the whole thing. So last night as I was watching my favorite show cuddled up in my blanket in the dark all by myself I was so intuned and I cant believe it I bawled through the whole thing! It was seriously such a good episode and I cant wait for next weeks 2 hour season finale! If you havent ever gotten into this show I highly suggest renting the seasons. They are funny, intense, romantic, everything you need in a show! Anyway hope everyone has a great weekend. We are kinda bummbed they were supposed to start digging on our house this week and havent so hopefully next week!

Oh the Dread!


This is how I feel right now!

So its that crappy time every two weeks when I have to go grocery shopping. Its not really the shopping part that I dread so much its the meal planning. It seriously gives me a headache and takes me like two days to plan meals for two weeks. I feel like I cook the same things over and over again. Our weekly meals consist of taco salad, grilled chicken, and enchiladas. Its pretty pathetic. So if any of you have any recipes that you love and are some what easy to make please please post them because Im sitting here at my desk scrounging for Ideas.

Wicked!!!!



Okay so last night the play was seriously AMAZING! I have heard so much about it and knew it was going to be good, but I didnt realize all the factors that come into place to make it so amazing. First of all the main characters were so great in their roles. Their voices were so beautiful and the Glinda seriously had Jake and I rolling on the floor of Laughter. She was so funny and so animated. The transitions during the play were another big thing that blew us away. Its so amazing how they can be singing and dancing and at the same time get in position for the next scene without even realizing it, that takes some serious organization. There was this really cool scene where Elphaba flies and it was so cool to see how they pulled it off, they dimmed all the lights and some black curtain thing was around so it looked just like the backdrop and then the lights only hit her green face. I dont know if I explained that very well but it was really cool. I really hope that later down the road the opportunity will come again that I can go again because it was seriously every penny.
Oh ya and you will notice that in all the pictures we have my whole family except Jake is missing...well he had a presentation to give in class at Weber last night and it was a final thing so he couldn't miss out. If you come just a couple minutes late they wont let you in. He seriously walked in at 7:28 and almost gave me a heart attack.
Anyways sorry to rub in the play for those of you that weren't able to go but it was great and if you ever get the opportunity take it!!!!

Slacker

Im sorry I have been a huge slacker this month on blogging. We have been really busy but just not around to take pictures so I have kinda been behind but here is a little update of what we have been up to. Last weekend we went to St. George for the Luv2Dance competition. We werent going to go but its kinda become a tradition with our families over the years so Friday night after work we decided to drive down, way last minute but we were so glad we went. The weather was a beautiful 80 degrees, and it was so fun to be able to relax in the sun!
Everything with the house is going smoothly but slowly. We met with the builder 2 weeks ago and made the adjustments to the floor plan we wanted to make which made us even more excited to get the process started. Now we just have to wait for the changes to be made and sign the plans so they can start digging. We are hoping that this will all happen in the next two weeks. Our landlord put our townhome up for rent so its just a matter of someone interested and then we can move out, and save some money living in my parents basement wahoo!! We actually are really excited we loved living there when we were first married. If anyone is looking for a place to rent please let me know! Its a perfect first home old and rusty but its been great for us.
Jake has one week left of school and then finals!!!!! We are so ready for the summer, and im so excited for school to be out so I can spend sometime with my honey, and hit the lake!
Tonight we are going to go see Wicked with my Family and we are stoked! We have been waiting for this day to come for so long. My parents bought the tickets last June and then gave them to us for Christmas gifts. I will definitely be taking pictures and will have lots to say about it tomorrow!
Hope all is well with everyone!
