Our weekend

Brad and I had a great weekend together. On Friday he took me on a "hot date." We went to dinner at California Pizza Kitchen mmmmm and then to a movie. We haven't been to a movie in the theaters together for a long time. It was fun to get out of the house and spend time just the 2 of us. On Saturday after Brad got off work we had a Twilight Movie Marathon...yes thats right, we watched 3 movies for a total of 6 hours of non stop Twilight. We want to go see the new one and we hadn't seen the other ones so we figured we should do it all in one day :) Brad won't admit to it, but he likes those movies. He was very excited when Edward and Bella kissed. On Sunday we had some of my family over for dinner. It's fun to have people come over to our house. :)

Last weekend Brad had a boys night and I had a girls night. We went down to gateway and had dinner and saw Footloose...then we went DANCING! It was so fun to hang out with all my friends and talk about girl stuff and just be silly together, the time just flew by, and before I knew it it was 1:00 am! And I know Brad had a blast with his friends. They ate pizza and played poker and I'm sure they were out of control. I came home to find soda cans and 5 empty boxes of pizza in our kitchen. :) I'm glad they had a good time.

This is Brad's latest look...don't worry, it didn't last long. I'm sure you can understand why.

Weekend Fun

Brad and I had a great weekend, it started on Friday when Jeff and Traci came over and we played the wii. The boys got a little too into some of the games :) it was fun to spend the night talking and hanging out with them! Saturday it was my mom's birthday so we spent the day with her, just hanging out and playing games. We had dinner together and then my dad, sister, Brad and I all carved pumpkins! On Sunday is was the ward primary program. My little primary kids did such a great job! It was a cute program and everyone loved it! It was a wonderful weekend, and just like all wonderful things, it ended too quickly.

Happy Birthday to the best mom!! We love you!

Our Pumpkins!
Brad's is a haunted castle, mine is a witch, Melinda's is ghosts, my dad's is the grim reaper.

I got home the other day, and this is what I found

This note that probably took 10 seconds to write, made my whole day! :)

A different kind of workout

My dear friend Traci is a fitness pole dancing instructor and she invited us over to her house to teach me and Emma a few workout routines. (fat burning, muscle building workout routines...nothing else) Let me just say that pole dancing is HARD! She is an expert and was doing the craziest moves! I don't know how she does it. Anyway, I consider myself to be pretty athletic and when she showed us "simple" moves I thought to myself, "oh this should be no problem, I should be able to do that." It was the exact opposite! I was so tired after our hour lesson...and sore. Lets just say I have a new respect for people who can do it and make it look graceful. It was super fun, and a great workout. I can't wait to do it again! Thanks Traci!

Notice my sweat? (I'm sure you do, its hard to miss) It was a tough workout

365 days

On Wednesday Brad and I celebrated our first anniversary together! It was such a fun day. We both had work and school all day but at 7pm we got to celebrate our day together. I made Brad a big fancy dinner and we just hung out and talked about our wedding day. After dinner we watched our wedding video, that was my favorite part. It was so fun to see us so happy and in love...not much has changed since then :) After the video we ate some of our cake from our wedding. We were pleasantly surprised to find out that it actually tasted really good. We got a fresh cake from the reception center and we ate some of that too, they really didn't taste all that different. They were both delicious, pumpkin chocolate chip cake is the best! Brad brought home beautiful roses that looked just like the ones from my bouquet, he is so thoughtful!
On friday we went downtown to Little America (where we stayed on our wedding night) and spent the weekend there. We ate at an italian place called Biagi's which was delicious. We walked around downtown and looked at little shops along the way. We went swimming and hot tubbing and Saturday morning ate at the cute little restaurant inside the hotel. It was perfect! I honestly feel like the luckiest girl! Being married to Brad is the best, he is the perfect husband and treats me like a princess everyday! He always makes me laugh and I just feel so special when I'm around him. We were definitely made for each other, and he really is my other half! Thanks for the best 365 days, I love you babe!




Dirty Girls Have More Fun

On Saturday my sister Melinda and I ran the dirty dash! It was our second time doing it, and this year it was even more muddy than last year! :) It is 6 miles of running up and down a mountain, through mud, over obstacles and through a giant, disgusting, muddy, smelly river. Some of the obstacles included a rope climb over a giant mud hill, crawling through barrels, jumping over hay stacks, climbing over walls, weaving over and under poles, running through tires, and a giant rope net you had to climb up and down. It was so much fun and we can't wait to do it again next year with everyone! Thanks to cute Brad for coming all the way out to Heber to watch us run and take pictures! :)

Our shoes!
I gave away my old running shoes after the race last year, so I had to go buy some $10 keds to run in this year, because  I didn't want ruin my actual running shoes. The keds worked a lot better than I thought. They even had more grip than my sisters 8 year old running shoes :)

Before the race! It was our other sister Courtney's birthday
HAPPY BIRTHDAY COURTNEY!

dirty girls DO have more fun

Running toward the filthy finish
