New changes... Goodbye Car...


So we have decided to sell Rhett's car. When we move to Vegas, both Rhett and I will be working at the same school, so we thought it would be best to sell instead of having two cars on insurance. We are a little sad to see it go. This was the first car Rhett ever bought himself. It is always hard to part with your first car, because it is such a milestone in a persons life. On the windows we still have the heart drawings of when we got married... it is only a little over a year now!! We have had some great trips in that car! It will be sorely missed! (We haven't sold it yet, but hopefully soon!) Sold the Car!! End of June 2013 :)


Rhett's famous Coexists sticker. Everyone makes the world go round! We
transferred the sticker over to the infinity. 


Ashley Got MARRIED!!!


     Regan, Ashley, Me

We drove up to the Salt Lake Temple with our friends Chris and Regan to see Ashley and Ryan be married. It was a beautiful sealing, and I am very happy for them. Ashley looked beautiful, and really happy! They got married on May 30, 2013. After the wedding we were all starving so we ate at In and Out burger, only to be at the wedding luncheon an hour and a half later... Oh well we shared a burger and it was good!!! We enjoyed the reception, and had a fun time with friends. We are sure going to miss everyone when we live in Las Vegas. :( 

Memorial DAY 2013


So for memorial day Rhett and I woke up early to go shooting with Ron and his friends. I just went with the intentions of watching, because I wasn't that fond of shooting. I had been shooting before, and wasn't really that comfortable with the idea of guns. Anyway, the boys talked me into it, and I shot this gun that is pictured (not really sure what it's called). It turned out to be really fun. I ended up with a stripe across my forehead, because my hat was backwards, and I didn't put on any sunscreen... Whoops!! Turned out to be really fun!

After shooting we went up to visit Rhett's grandpa Kent. We visited with him, and Uncle Mark. Uncle Mark was in town for a visit, so it was nice to see him. While we were out in Springville, we went and saw Rhett's Dad's grave and spent sometime out there. It was a beautiful day, and the flowers looked lovely on his gravestone. Wish I could have met him, but I know I will one day!!!



After the visit we went to a bbq that the Fosse's were putting on. We ate good food, played some ladder ball with everyone, and got to enjoy the beautiful day! We lost the tournament, but we had fun playing!!! Overall it was a pretty fun Memorial day!!!

The Theatre and some good 'ol Farrs Icecream


(The title makes you wonder, but it really was so funny. Check it out!)

So our friend's the Bensons (Stephanie and Jacob) found a killer deal to go see the musical "UrineTown" at the Hale Center Theatre, so we jumped on the chance for date night, and a fun night out with friends. :) We are going to be way sad when we move. They have been the best neighbors and friends ever!


Intermission


A little treat at Farr's. 
Cake batter and Raspberry Dole whip ice cream with  raspberries, strawberries, and coconut! Delicious! 
It was a great combination!

Mother's Day 2013

I am so grateful for this day to celebrate Mothers, and all that they do for us. I am so lucky to have such great examples in my life. I am lucky to have a Mother that has taught me good values, and has been there for me every step of the way. My Mom is the most caring and loving person I know. Happy Mother's day Mom, Love you!!!


Lucky to have my Mom with me on my BIG day!


My wonderful Grandma Luke

Wedding pic Redos


 So for our one year anniversary I decided to retake some of our wedding pictures. I decided to redo them, because I wasn't quite satisfied with the ones we took for our wedding. It was fun to get all dressed up again, and in a way kind of reenact our wedding day. As we were driving to the Mt. Timpanogos Temple we got a lot of honks, and thumbs up on the freeway. It was kind of funny. Even at the Temple people were giving us congratulations. We did the pictures at 8am so that we could be the only ones to take pictures before the rush of bride and grooms came out. We had perfect lighting, and it was pretty much just us! After we took the pictures we got home, and got ready for our trip to Moab with our friends. It was a pretty busy, tiring, but fun day! Kinda like or wedding! :) 


All stuffed up in the car. :)



Mr. and Mrs 



Fun to be a bride again!!


Love these ones :)


I am so glad that we did this! It was worth every penny, and I am so happy with the pictures!! ShannaMichellephotography did all the pictures, and she is incredible! I just love her!!!  



More on Moab


We had a super fun weekend with our friends (Stephanie, Jacob, Tania, and Rex) in Moab. We took our second wedding pictures in the morning, and then we headed out in Rex's parent's mini van. It was our kick off the summer trip! We got to Moab around 2:30pm, and staked out our campsite behind a trailer park. We were a little skeptical at first, but Rex had camped there many times before. (It turned out to be really perfect). We wanted to hike delicate arch around sunset so we could get cool pictures, so we decided to hike the other arches first. We first saw balance rock, window arch, double arch, landscape arch, and then finally delicate arch. It was very breathtakingly beautiful, and a very fun thing to see in person. We all had a fun time  hiking and talking.




When we got back into the city of Moab, we were all starving so we decided to eat at a really fun place called Pasta Jay's. I ordered a delicious fettuccine dish with a creamy red sauce, broccoli, mushrooms, chicken, artichoke, and peas. It was absolutely delicious. Rhett ordered a white clam pasta in a delicious clam sauce. We all shared their famous spinach artichoke dip! So gooood!

After dinner we had Smores and roasted Starbursts around the campfire. Stayed up late talking and laughing. In the morning we had bagels for breakfast, and played games till about 1pm. We headed out stopping by subway, and then trying Moab Brewery's famous Gelato. It was pretty yummy. On our way heading back to Orem we decided to go see Goblin Valley. It was the perfect weather to go see it. We hiked our way through, climbing and jumping all over the sandstone. Goblin Valley is the perfect place for a kid to play house, and let their imagination run wild!! We had lots of fun picking out different shapes in the rocks!



After Goblin Valley we headed home, and played name that Celebrity for at least an hour and a half! We had a great time, and it was way fun to kick off the summer with great friends and a new adventurous place!!
