mini vacation

this weekend we were able to go on a "mini vacation" with jared's family. it was a lot of fun! we went riding at the sand dunes down in utah called Little Sahara. i was a little nervous to go cause i havent had too much experience riding but we didnt do anything too serious, just a lot of cruising. i was so excited to go cause i got to wear my new pink helmet; one day ill own a pink four wheeler to match it.

Lots of dunes to ride

the chain fell off one of the fourwheelers... waiting to tow it back to the truck

i love to watch jared ride. he looks so good :)

one of my friends from highschool lives in provo and just had a baby so we stopped by to see her and meet her new little girl Alice. she was so tiny and so precious. it was fun to catch up with megan and hold a baby

(dont mind the no make-up and hair not done on either of us)

jared was a little nervous to hold alice at first, he thought he was going to break her, but looks like he's a pro to me! thanks megan for letting us stop by on such short notice :)

it was nice to get out of cold snowy rexburg for a few days and enjoy the warm sun in utah! only 2 weeks left till DISNEYLAND!

Surpirse visits

Last week one of my friends from texas called and said she was driving up to rexburg this weekend and that we should get together. (she lives in provo now) so yesterday she showed up to my apartment and i thought it was only her but she brought along a vistor, one of my best friends from high school, eelan! we got together with 2 other girls from san antonio that live here in rexburg. it was fun to see everyone again and catch up on each others lives.

(dont mind my red eyes... or my hair, its really dry here in idaho and thats what happens to it)

we bought the wii a few weeks ago and jared has been playing a lot. i think bowling is the most fun so we have been doing that a lot. well last night we went bowling with some friends from the ward and i guess practice on the wii has helped! jared bowled the best game of his life at 148! right when we were walking out the door jared handed the camera to me and i said i didnt want to take it... i should have though so we could have taken a picture of the score board to always remember it! after bowling we went over to the church and played some pretty intense games of spoons and catch phrase. it was a fun night and we are so grateful for the friendships we have made.

Only 21 days left till we go to disneyland :)

disneyland?

our one year anniversary is next month! i cant even believe we have been married for that long already! i really want to do something fun for it right before school starts so yesterday i looked up hotels and ticket prices for DISNEYLAND! i texted jared about it while he was at work and i guess he started thinking if we are going to spend money and do something why not go to HAWAII?! ive been to both multiple times and jared has never been to either. we both know we should probably jsut save our money because that would be the smart thing, but it would be fun to go do something cool especially since jared hasnt been to either place.

spring came last week. it was in the high 30's so i started walking with my friend candice every morning. it was nice to get out into the fresh air and socialize but the nice weather didnt last long so we havent been able to walk the last couple of days. the weather said its supposed to warm back up the end of this week and we should be in the 40's YAY!
