2016 begins in about an hour and a half. Kody and I went to dinner and then came home, played cards and watched Breaking Bad. One of the best things about being married is being able to relax and be warm @ home on nights where everyone is out partying, and not even feel lame about it because you have a buddy being...












2015 has been SUCH a crazy, fun, amazing year that has been full of all kinds of changes. It has been, by far, the very best year of my life thus far. I usually say that every year, and I hope that year after year they just keep on getting better :) 2016 has a lot to live up to because this year...
I think we are all in agreement that Christmas > anything else ever. I am so happy that I have my own place to decorate this year (even though it is about 500 sq feet, its cool). I was so excited when we bought our first tree! It is about as tall as me and is plastic, but it is still my favorite....
We just got back from spending about a week in Arizona and now I am in one of those weird funks where I am having a hard time getting back into the swing of things + getting used to no longer being able to freeload off my parents and eat all their food. We had so much fun over Thanksgiving! We went on...








This past weekend Kody went to California to go to a football game with his dad. Rather than stay here alone for 5 days, bored with no work/school, I decided to grab some last-minute flight tickets (thank you Allegiant!) and head down to good 'ol Arizona. I hadn't been home since March, so about 9 months! Too long without my az sun and...
I absolutely LOVE holidays. All of them, I think that it is so much fun when everyone has fun celebrating something, even if it is as meaningless as something like Halloween :) So fun. For the past 4 or 5 years I have started months before, planning exactly what I/we would be for Halloween. Every year my ideas are super awesome and I...






Nothing better than taking Sunday drives up the canyon with my over-sized sweatshirt and sweetheart! ...







This last weekend was great because it was conference weekend, the weather was amazing, and I got to see my sweet family for the first time in over 7 months! Yes, 7 months. Guys, that is a LONG time. Especially for a girl who came home early from/didn't go to/absolutely hated 4-day long girls camp every summer because she missed her family so...
Lately I have been doing so good at not eating too many sweets. Buuut yesterday I gave in and grabbed my favorite candy and my favorite guy and we drove up the canyon and watched the super moon! I didn't even attempt to take pictures of it (you can't accurately capture something like that), so we just sat on the car and soaked...
You guys the class I am in right now is soooo boring. You know those classes where the professor is so nice and is teaching and doing their best but you feel bad b/c no matter how hard you try you just can't.pay.a.single.ounce.of.attention? That is this class right now! Professor: So does anybody have any thoughts about this court case? Class: .... Professor:...
On Monday I started my Junior year at BYU. A lot of things have changed since I started school two years ago. I am no longer afraid of return missionaries. I am a little less intimidated by my classes/professors/textbooks. I know Provo like the back of my hand. And instead of being roommates with 5 girls I don't know, I have just one...
Right after the beach house trip, we headed to Tennessee for one of Kody's friends weddings, which also turned out to be super fun! I had never been to the south and I was so amazed by how beautiful and GREEN everything was! I wish I would have taken more pictures. We absolutely loved it! I had a lot of fun with my...
