St. George/Spencer's B-day

So it's taken me awhile to finally post about this, but we have been soo busy! Our trip to St. George with Greg and Mckenzie was so much fun..minus the not so hot weather. We lounged, played golf, shopped, went to the farmers market, walked through gallery stroll, won lots of fruties at the arcade (YUM) and of course ate..and ate. Here are some pictures from our adventure:
Spencer's face is kinda scary haha but the
pizza was awesome! 'Greg! Fire truck!'..Mckenzie pulled off the ladder and

we thought we had broke it but don't worry we fixed it!Pretty scenery
There was a Biggest Loser center out in the middle of no where
so we had to take a picture..look at our muscles!

I tried to climb the tree..but I was very unsuccessful
and I ended up getting scraped all over..

Birthday toast!

The tickets we won to get the fruities!

We tried to find someone to take a picture of at walmart to put on peopleofwalmart.com but then
Greg decided he wanted to nominate himself


Last but not least we stopped in Zions on the way home

it was beautiful!

Overall it was an awesome trip and I can't wait to go back. I hope your birthday was great babe I love you sooooo much!! Hopefully next time the weather will be better and we will actually get some sun!

We are officially less than two months away from our wedding!!! AHHH!! We are sooo excited and time can't seem to go by fast enough. Friday we took our engagement pictures and our photographer posted a few on her blog and they look soo cute! I can't wait to see the rest and I will post some as soon as we get them! Spencer did a great job and wasn't as nervous as we thought he'd be, the best part was getting to eat at our favorite mexican restaurant afterwards Baja Cantina..YUM!
On another note we are leaving for St. George tomorrow to soak up some sun and relax for Spencer's 23rd birthday! What an old man.. haha We are going with our friends Greg and McKenzie and we can't wait!!! Four days of nothing to do but relax :)

Laughs, Wins and Birthdays

This Memorial Day weekend was full of fun! We started it off on friday by doing our usual routine of cafe rio and comedy central, they had a pretty good line up and we got some good laughs. Spencer thought it was pretty entertaining to hear me try and talk with an accent from every country I could think of..he says my voices were all the same but I think his hearing is going bad on a count of the fact I found some gray hairs the other day. Anyways Saturday we went to the ReAL game which was way fun and we won 4-1! I was surprised to hear that the band played throughout the ENTIRE game, we kept thinking they would stop but they were very enthusiastic! Sunday was my mom's birthday and Monday was my dad's birthday so to celebrate we went up to our cabin in Kamas to barbeque and relax as a family. The food was sooo yummy and we rented some good movies, my dad wasn't to excited about "Jackie Chan The Spy Next Door" and ended up going to bed in the middle of it but it was a cute movie. On Monday after we got back Spencer and I headed back up to Park City to try and find some outfits for our engagement photos, we were half way successful and both got some good stuff at great memorial day sale prices! It was such a fun weekend and I can't wait for more trips up to the cabin, it's so relaxing up there. This weekend should be fun too at least for me..Spencer is dreading our photo shoot because he thinks he can't smile but I've been making him practice so hopefully they will turn out well. Next Friday, June 11 is Spencer's birthday and we are going down to St. George to celebrate! We can't wait to get away, we definitely need a vacation and it should be really fun!! Anways I'll update about that later, but that's about it for now I suppose!

peonies make me smile

Last week after a long day I went over to Spencer's house to spend some time with him. As I walked in his room I saw these:

My favorite flowers ever are peonies! Everytime we pass by them I always turn to say how much I love them, so I think that Spencer finally got the hint. It was the perfect surprise at the end of a long day and I got to put them in the new vase/pot I bought. They are on my nightstand and I can't think of anything better to wake up to every morning (besides Spencer but these will do for now). Thanks pokie bear I love them and I LOVE you!!

Yesterday I finished the book I've been reading, it's called "The Saving Graces" by Patricia Gaffney, and I definetely recommend it. It's sort of bittersweet finishing a good book,
on one hand you want to know how it ends but on the other hand, when it's over you wish it would just keep going. I have this thought everytime I finish a book and I'm always
worried that I won't find another book that I can get into..but I always do. Spencer and I headed down to Barnes and Noble today and I picked up a new one that hopefully can satisfy me, I'll keep you posted..Also along the same note do you remember having readathon's in elementary school? Maybe I'm just a nerd but those were the best! To bad I'm too old to get the free personal pan pizza's from pizza hut...

monster eye

Last monday Spencer and I went golfing, not just to the driving range actual golfing! Before we started our round we practiced putting and chipping which was fun and not to hard. Well actual golfing was a different story, I don't like doing activities that I'm not good at but I really am trying to not get frustrated with golfing. After hitting a few balls into the water, including the sweet jazz ball, we decided that on the holes that you have to drive over water Spencer would hit my ball for me :) I think we would've run out of balls otherwise..I ended up doing better than I thought I would and got some really good hits in! Well we finally got to the last hole when a bug flew into Spencer's eye. No big deal right?....WRONG! I thought he was just being a cry baby when he kept complaining but eventually it escalated and it turned into this:

You can't quite tell how awful it really was from this picture but it was scary. I have never seen an eye do what his eye did and so I made him go to instacare. On our way in there were a bunch of kids so I told him not to look at them cuz he'd probably make them cry haha and when the doctor saw him he apparently was thinking what I was thinking because he asked us if we had kids and said it was probably good we didn't because he would scare them. It ended up being just an allergic reaction but still took a few days to go away completely. I'm just glad he's ok and that we can laugh at it now.

First and foremost today is 3 months to wedding day!! I can't believe how slow and how fast time seems to be going by. But the good news is finals are OVER!!! Now we have basically a week to relax before we start summer session, but at least it will keep us busy and time will hopefully go by a little faster. Some other good news is we finally booked our honeymoon last night! This has been something that we've been trying to do for months and really is kind of stressful to plan, but now it's over and we can't wait to go! For 7 days and 6 nights we will be here:

Ahhhh look at that beach it is calling my name!!!
