Happy Easter!

I love BYU! This video is so funny and creative.

Hoppy Easter!

We are still trying to get our new camera all figured out with the timer. You can see that this is an action shot of Dan trying to run in! Hahaha, but here is a picture of our first Easter being married!

We are looking forward to Easter dinner tonight with Jana, Stephen and Linsey. Dan and I bought a $20 ham for $7.22 (I LOVEEEEEE price matching) so we will be serving that this evening. I am so excited to spend Easter with family. It is going to be great.

We had TWO Easter Bunnies come and deliver treats!! Thank you so much!

Happy Easter everyone! To end I want to add a quote that was shared today in relief society:

"We know not all that lies ahead of us. We live in a world of uncertainty. For some, there will be great accomplishment. For others, disappointment. For some, much of rejoicing and gladness, good health, and gracious living. For others, perhaps sickness and a measure of sorrow. We do not know. But one thing we do know. Like the Polar Star in the heavens, regardless of what the future holds, there stands the Redeemer of the world, the Son of God, certain and sure as the anchor of our immortal lives. He is the rock of our salvation, our strength, our comfort, the very focus of our faith. In sunshine and in shadow we look to Him, and He is there to assure and smile upon us"

-President Gordan B. Hinckley

Cupcakes and Burgers

Last night Dan and I went to his cousin's wedding reception. It was so cool because it was in a real barn!! They had it decorated so pretty and rustic. I loved it. They also had these delish gourtmet cupcakes so of course Dan and I had to try them all. Our favorite by far was the pink lemonaid cupcake.

We also did a little photoshoot outside with Stephen and Lisney. After we went and got burgers. It was a super fun evening. Congrats Andrew and Brooke!

Nitrous Party

I cannot believe that my most feared class has ended up being my absolute favorite. Just 4 months ago I was DREADING having to give injections in my pain control class, and now I am sad that there is nothing else to learn! It has been so fun learning and practicing on each other.
To top everything off, I was given the "Best Injection" award. That's right... the best.
I wish I took some more pictures but I only have a picture from the first day when I injected a lime and one from the last day when I got to have some nitrous!

BYU Lu'au

Jana and I both grew up dancing: tap, jazz, ballet and hip hop were our lives for many, many years! When I got to college, I decided to spice it up a little and try ballroom dancing. It was a blast! Jana decided to mix it up with some polynesian dancing. She has been doing it for two years now and decided to join the polynesian dance club that BYU offers. They had a big show last week and it was SO fun getting to go and watch her!

The turn out was HUGE! It was so much fun!

The dancing and personality on stage was so fun to watch. 

 Jana was in three dances

My favorite dance was this stick dance where they danced around tapping their sticks to the rhythm.

Jana was right in the center!! Haha

It was such a fun evening and I am so glad that Dan and I were able to go and support my sister

Festival of Colors 2012

What a quick year it has been! Feels like just yesterday when Dan, Jana and I was headed up there. So much has happened in one year! This time we went with Stephen and his girlfriend Linsey. We got lost, of course, that seems to be my tradition every year but we got there in time for the first throwing.
It was such a blast and a great way to welcome in spring!

Steve kept throwing orange chalk in my face and that is why my face is SUPER orange.

We had a great time taking pictures.

Steve was a rainbow mess haha

December Begins

I know, I have been super lacking in my blogging. I have just been so insanely busy! (as I am sure everyone is during this holiday season and you guys are keeping up on your blogging, so I really have no excuse... ) But i just feel like it has gotten to the point where I need to hop on and write about what has been going on in our lives.

Today was the First Presidency's Christmas Devotional and it was so wonderful. We invited one of our couple friends over, aaron and cassie, and it was great spending some time with them and watching the message. One of my favorite parts was watching the Bible Video that the church has just put out. It is called Gift to the World. Click on the link to watch it!!

Yesterday Dan and I got invited to a "Registry Wrap-Up" party at bed bath and beyond where everything was 20% off. We really didnt need much at all because we got more than we needed, but we bought a gingerbread train (not house) kit, an extra set of sheets, some pillows, and a few other odds and ends. But the highlight was that we entered a raffle when we first walked in and after being in the store for about 10 minutes, our name was called over the overhead system saying we won!! I was so excited. I have never won anything before!!!

Friday night Dan's company took us all out to thanksgiving point to go on a trolley ride around the grounds and look at the light. It was the snow made it magical (and freezing). We went into one of the shops and found free apple cider (i love free things) and then we boarded the trolley. Really christmasy.

Thursday was dinner group which is always a blast. A couple in our singles ward invited Dan and I to join their weekly dinner group and it's always a great time, not only do I not have to cook on those days, but we get to socialize, play games, chat and see our friends.

Earlier this week, Dan and I had our date night and went and got burgers and instead of buying milkshakes, we decided to make our own. They were just perfect, and tasted better than any milkshake you'd buy.

Thin mint... yummm.

Last week was thanksgiving. Dan had to work the day before and the day after so we decided to stay local and go to Dan's aunt's house. A decision well made. The food was yummy and delish. And as a thanksgiving delight, I reached 100 days on my gratitude blog!!!

Black friday Dan and I both worked. Yes, I worked haha. I got hired on to work just on Black Friday at the Children's Place at the mall. I thought I'd just be greeting customers but I was actually put in the back folding. Folding and folding and folding..... but you know what, money is work and work is money! And the nice thing about black friday theses days is that it usually extends into black saturdays as well. So last saturday Dan and I went to target and bought us an adorable, $30, black friday deal, charlie brown christmas tree! Defiantly a must for getting into the Christmas spirit.

And speaking of christmas spirit, go to http://www.pandora.com/  OR download the pandora app on your phone and click on "add a new station" and search Mormon Tabernacle Choir (Holiday). Best christmas station. Bound to get you in the christmas spirit.

Halloweenie

Halloween was super fun. Earlier in the week, Billy and Caitlin came over and we carved pumpkins, and that was a blast.

The actual day of Halloween they came back over and we watched my favorite scary movie, "The Uninvited".  Dan was really scared, and even though I'd already seen the movie 10x I was scared!! It was so fun. The scariest part was when a trick-or-treater would knock on the door, it would make us all jump! We all dressed up and that was fun too!

I was supposed to be Audrey hepburn and Dan was a sports fan

Billy and Caitlin did a mockery costume haha, i told them one year my mom made me dress up as a deviled egg and no one knew what i was... so what did they dress up as? deviled eggs. it was hilarious. 

I also made some halloween cupcakes and Dan and I used our cupcake froster. That was fun.

And of course, Dan and I went on our date to Corn Belly's. One year ago, this was our first date. The date that changed our lives lol... it was just as fun the second time around. We got the scary passes and it was pretty scary.... wish i took more pictures but my phone doesn't have flash, the only one i took was this one:

Park City

Because we got married during the school semester, Dan and I had a short little weekend honey moon in park city. Our hotel was awesome, it had a hot tub in it, and i honestly think we were the only ones there because it is the off season. Here are some pictures of our car that the bridal party decorated... 

 Downtown park city was just beautiful. We went shopping at the outlets and eat great meals.

One of the restaurants we went to was called the Blue Iguana. Dan took on the challenge of the 5lb burrito...

 yep it was huge....

i made a more simple choice

(pretending to have eaten the whole thing... ya right lol)
