Home Improvements

Adam and I have been super, SUPER busy with school starting. Adam is currently working 32+hours at work and taking 12 credits. I am just taking once class, Microbiology, and let me tell you I have never had to read so much in my life. Adam is always doing Math homework and writing papers. So all family members please pray for him, that he will survive this semester and be able to get good grades.

On another note, before Adam and I started school we finished, well Adam did, our pantry shelves. So now we have a place to put all our food that have been in totes since last year.

Today he finished the shelves for the storage closet. He had the brackets himself.

I'm so lucky to have a wonderful husband with so many talents.

Last week on facebook they posted a picture of what the Payson temple is going to look like.

I think it is way pretty!

Forts

Last night my sister-in-law had to work the night shift and my brother-in-law had to help someone fix something on their boat. So he asked Adam and I if we could watch his little girl Ella while he did that. He said that it would only be an hour, but it ended up being a little longer than that.

After Adam and I had finished eating dinner (pizza, and the best wonton salad ever!) Adam made a fort with Ella. It was pretty cool and she liked to go in one side and come out the other and she would get mad if you blocked her way out.

This is our Fort.

Here is Adam and Ella having a great time. I tried to get a better picture but Ella didn't want to look at my camera.

Shooting

Adam and I LOVE to go shooting and this past week we were able to go with one of our good friends Scott (Mindi's husband). He had bought a lot of rounds and invited us to shoot them with him.

Here is Adam shooting

and here is his target!

It was a great way to get some stress relief before going back to school next week.

Birthday WEEK!

On Tuesday Aug. 16 was my BIRTHDAY! I turned 22 years old. I ended up having to cover someone at work on my birthday, but that is okay since I need the hours right now. After working 10 hours, I finally got to come home. Adam made me his famous hamburgers! THEY ARE SO GOOD!!! I did pretty good this year and ended up with money, a movie, a dash cover for the car, and window shinny thing so the sun doesn't come in, a willow tree figure called HERO (has a women holding a folded up flag), a shirt, itunes gift card, gift card to Mimi's Cafe (which we will use one day to go to breakfast), and a necklace.
This weekend was also way awesome because we got to go to Park City! What made it even better was it was FREE!!!!!!! We went with the National guard to a marriage retreat, we stayed at the Yarrow(which was okay, but not the best). We got our breakfast and lunches paid for, which saves us a TON on money on food. We got to watch videos that a guy name Mark Gungor does and he is way funny! If you have never heard of him before just google: laugh you way to a better marriage. Saturday after we got done with classes we went to the outlet mall but ended up not staying very long because there was a lot of people. So we went to ride the alpine slide. Adam has not gone on it in about 20 years and I have never gone on them.

On the lift ride up

We went down the older slides, which from what I have heard are way more fun then the new ones. We had to wait in line for a long time because there was a wedding that just got done and most of the guest went down the slides. It was pretty funny watching all these girls get into the sleds and they have short dresses and high heels on. I would hate the be the one at the bottom when they come down.

Here is Adam getting ready to go on down

And me...

We almost didn't get to go because it looked like it was going to rain and if it rains while you are on it you have to stop and walk the rest of the way down. There was no way I was going to stop and walk.

Me after my ride

About 10 mins after we got down to the bottom it started to rain, lucky us.

For dinner we went down main street looking for something good to eat.

This is the hat I bought that day with some of my birthday money.

We did end up at a place called Main Street Pizza and Pasta and got seated pretty quick but they didn't have the kind of pizza we wanted and if we were to make it with the extra topping it would end up being a lot of money so we left and then got some Dominos. Which was AWESOME!!!

LOVE THIS!

For our anniversary Adam got me a blender. A blender is the one thing we DIDN'T get for our wedding and I have been wanting one ever since.

My new favorite thing to make is smoothies!

We love making them, our favorite so far is strawberries, bananas, nectarine, yogurt, milk, with a little bit of ice.

So YUMMY! Thanks ADAM! I LOVE IT!!!

VIVA LAS VEGAS

On July 21, 2011 Adam and I had our 3rd Anniversary! This year for our Anniversary we decided to go to Las Vegas. I have never been and it had been a long time since Adam had been. We had so much fun going to the old part of Las Vegas and watching the light show they have.

New York, New York

The fountains in front of the Bellagio

The Flamingo at the Flamingo in Las Vegas

We stayed at the Stratosphere, so we go to go up to the top for free, and not have to pay 15.00 bucks a person. We went up twice

We also went and saw Hoover Dam.

I love being married to Adam. He is the love of my life and I can't wait to spend the rest of our lives together. Thank you Adam for the BEST 3 YEARS!
