Happy 1 Year Anniversary!

Andrew and I celebrated our 1 year anniversary on May 7..... Can you believe it's already been an entire year since this...
I can't! Crazy how much time flies when you're having fun! We've had a great first year and are excited to see what the next year brings! We are still in Salt Lake and Andrew is still working hard to get through school and I'm a nanny... Fun times! We like it!

Anyway, for our anniversary we went up to Park City and spent a much needed long weekend there! It was a blast! We were able to spend lots of quality time together, go shopping, and hang out in one of the coolest hotel rooms we've ever stayed in! Luckily May is a slow time up there so there are great deals on hotels!

This is the entrance to our room... we couldn't believe we were really getting to stay here!
The view from the hotel.
Yeah... we had a private hot tub on our balcony! SWEET!
This is the food we bought to stock the fridge with. How long were we there? Just 4 days... don't even worry about it, we ate almost all of the food!
The bathroom.... with heated floors! Like a little taste of heaven for your feet!
Our king size bed! Gotta love when you get to spend some time on a huge bed! (That window above the bed is where the bathroom is.)
The fireplace. (sometimes I think I narrate the pictures too much! You probably could have figured out that was the fireplace!)
The rest of the room... It was huge!
The view of the bathroom from the bedroom... just a little weird in my opinion!
Out on the balcony.
And, of course, we got to eat our cake!! We were VERY excited for this because we thought our cake was DELICIOUS at our wedding! Marble cake with cream cheese frosting in the middle and marzipan on top. YUM! Do you think it was still good??
There was so much saran wrap on it! Thank you whoever packaged the top tier for us to take home!
Cutting the cake... again!
Andrew cutting the cake... the anticipation was killing us...
Hmm.... it still looks good....
First bite...
Oh yeah.... STILL DELICIOUS! It was better before it got frozen for a year but it was still pretty yummy! If anyone is in the market for a wedding cake Granite Bakery is definitely the place to go!

The ski jumps up on the mountain... They look so cool!
Andrew was really excited about them!

I make really cute faces all the time! :)
All the stuff we got for our anniversary presents! It's a REALLY good thing the stores in Park City are outlets and we got all of this stuff on sale!
I couldn't have asked for a better anniversary! It was so great to get to spend so much time with Andrew with no school or work to think about and not having to worry about how early we need to get up the next morning! We need another break already, I think!

It's been a great year! I've loved every minute of it! Thanks for everything you do for me, babe! I can't wait to see where the next year takes us!

May Family Get Together...

The family get together in May was a lot of fun! With the weather finally being so nice we were able to play outside! It was fantastic! I love being able to watch all of the kids play together! They are so cute!! And we got a LOT of awesome pictures of everyone! Enjoy! :)

Cute Rylee... because all good pictures include posing with your drink! :)
How cute are all of these kids?! Almost all of the kids at the table.... Cuties!!
Oh wow... we are cute! Nice smile, Brooke! hahahaha!
Hilary may kill me for putting pictures of her on here but how could I pass this one up? You guys are so cute! LOVE it!
Trying to jump at the same time is HARD when there are 8 of them!
haha... again, couldn't pass it up, Hil!
See... I told you we got AWESOME pictures of everyone!
Seriously though, how cute are these two?! I love how great Andrew is with all the kids!
Cutie pie!!
Green light............... RED LIGHT!
Great pose, Kenz!
Every time I took a picture of Kate this is how she posed. So cute!
Danika had fun rolling around in the grass! I love the smirk on her face in this one!
These two had me keep taking pictures of them while they kept posing! It was so funny!
Girl power!
ALL of the kids were in line to have Andrew do this with them! He was so great to make sure everyone got several turns before he finally made them find another activity...
We absolutely LOVE getting to spend time with the family!! Can't wait til the June get together!

Oh, and I don't know where the picture of the cake went but Happy Birthday Andy, McKenzie, and Brooke!!!

Ya know those times?

Do you know those times when you really want to blog, but then you realize just how much stuff you have that you want to blog about and it stops you from even trying? Well that's how I am right now... but we're doing well! It's been a fun month! Maybe one day soon I will write about it....

Winner Winner!!!

So, I won tickets to the Dierks Bentley concert on the radio on Thursday! It was AWESOME! Just another concert to add to our fun summer! Can't wait!! And we are qualified for a trip to LA... Cross your fingers for us! That would be so much fun to win!

On another note... Andrew and I had a fun little project this morning! I've decided recently that I was really sick of our bathroom being all white and the plain white shower curtain was making it even worse... SO, we changed it up today and spray painted the shower curtain! It actually turned out pretty cute!
Yes, we wore gloves when we did this... mostly because we tried some stuff out before we actually started the shower curtain and I ended up having a REALLY hard time getting the paint off my hands! Good thing we had these gloves laying around the house!
The bathroom looks so much better now!
And... the aftermath of trying to get the paint off my hands... OUCH!
All in all, I think it worked out pretty well! We had a fun morning and our shower curtain looks awesome!

Easter's coming....

... so I made decorations....
It was lots of fun... I can't wait for the next holiday when I can start making stuff for that too! :)

We've also been doing some other fun stuff lately...
We went to this cute girls 2 year old birthday party! She is adorable! We had a blast getting to see Kandi and Nick and spend some time with them at the party!
Kandi made these awesome Krabby Patty cupcakes! So cute and so yummy!!
I also had some fun times at Sara's bachelorette party! This was probably the best part... Sara getting super embarrassed by the present Brooke got her... it was pretty awful! Way to go, Brooke!
It's been a pretty fun few weeks! We've gotten to spend lots of time with friends and we've also been able to spend some time at home since family things have calmed down a little. Andrew is working hard to get through finals and I'm just hoping I don't totally bomb the one final that I do have! I also got a new job which will be awesome! The little girl is really cute and even though it's not exactly what we were hoping for, I think it will be good for us! I can't wait for school to get over and our new summer adventures to start! This summer is going to be a GREAT one! :)

Why are my feet wet?

The big question for the day on Monday! We were watching a movie and suddenly Andrew asked me if I spilled something. When I said no, he was like "Why are my feet wet?" We kind of just brushed the thought aside and assumed we had spilled something. Then a few minutes later when the wetness of our carpet was spreading, we decided we hadn't just spilled something. And so, this is what we are dealing with right now...

I know it is kind of hard to see in the pictures but this wall is right next to the utility room in our apartment complex and the water heater on the other side of the wall leaked... A LOT and came into our apartment! So fun... Not! So, we called our landlord at 11:00 at night and had him come over to take a look. He ripped up our carpet to see how bad it was. The water had spread pretty far... And there were bubbles in the wall (apparently the water heater was leaking really fast, or this had been going on for a while!) He then changed a little spout thing on the water heater, hoping that would stop the leaking, and left. When he came back in the morning the water had spread a lot more and our carpet was now SOPPING! So now we have a giant, NOISY blower thing drying our carpet out and he is coming back to put new padding down and fix the carpet and stuff! We're having a lot of fun being cooped up in our room so we can hear each other talk and having all our furniture shoved to one side of the room... Looks good, right? Maybe we'll keep it this way even when the carpet is fixed! :)

On the bright side, it could have been a lot worse! Our stuff could have gotten ruined before we noticed it! The only thing that got hurt was one of Andrew's textbooks that has some water damage now... Could have been worse!

AND the weather has been pretty nice the last few days! We even went out and got some tennis playing in! I love when we get to go out and play! That always makes things better!

Just thought you might want to see the fun things going on with us! Hopefully we will be moved by the end of the month!! Then no more dealing with bugs/leaking water heaters! :)
