Time with Aubs and Kart

Seniorita Karter

Dress up

Stinkin' cute

Don't be alarmed...she is not drowning, she is just playing "Mermaid" and drinking half the pool, so she will eventually go to the bathroom like 6 times before bed. No big deal :)


Spencer, Aubree, Annie and Karter at the Clearfield Aquatic Center

My brother and sister in law went on a trip to Lake Powell last week, and Josh and I were lucky enough to babysit Aubree and Karter for a day and a half. They are such adorable kids and even though we had some major spills of their precious "bunny milk" everything went great! We watched movies, went swimming with Spencer and Natalie, went to the park and just basically hung out. Pretty much we think these kids are two of the cutest things alive :)

Tagged: Times Two

Well I was tagged by my Sister-in-law Natalie and my friend Lindsay. I have never been "tagged" before, so hopefully this isn't too boring!

This is for Natalie...
The aspects of my Quirkiness (is that a word?):

1. I really don't like to fold socks when we do our laundry. I have no idea why, but it is something I dread! I usually turn that job over to my willing husband :)

2. My favorite snack is chocolate chips. From the time I get home from school I pretty much snack on them until dinner. We go through a few bags a month, but I never have any cookies to show for it.

3. I guess a bunch of my quirks are with food, but I can never eat just one type of cereal in a bowl. I usually mix 2 or 3 cerels at a time. I mix fruity, chocolately, grainey or whatever cereal we have. I just think you might as well enjoy every kind of cereal instead of limiting yourself to just one flavor.

4. This may be gross but I can't (unless it is an emergency) go to the bathroom in a public restroom unless I am alone. I will literally wait in the stall until I can look under the stall and not see any feet.

5. My husband makes fun of me, but I still love to watch Little House on the Prarie and Arthur (remember the Aardvark cartoon?). Whenever I flip through the channels while watching TV I will always stop and watch those amazing shows until Josh makes a comment. How can you go wrong with those shows?

This is for Lindsay... It is abbreviated because this post is already MUCH too long!
Crazy 8's- 8 is my lucky number by the way!

8 shows I love to watch:
1. The Office- hilarious...enough said. 2. Lost- We have only watched the first season, but we are hooked! 3. The Ellen Degeneres Show- Josh pretty much hates this show, but honestly I laugh really hard when I watch 4. Jeopardy- too bad this is hardly on anymore 5. Little House on the Prarie/Arthur- read above 6. Entertainment Tonight or The Insider- I love watching shows that talk about celebrities, who knows why? 7. 24- Josh and I first started hanging out watching this show 8. I love watching sports- I did grow up a tom-boy you know!

8 restaurants I love:
1. Cafe Rio/Costa Vida- Costa Vida is much better in Logan, which we still can't figure out 2. Arby's- I crave curly fries and jamoca shakes 3. Olive Garden- basically carbohydrates are my friends 4. Chili's- we usually stuff ourselves with chips and salsa 5. Dairy Queen- gross food but Frozen Hot Chocolates are a necessity! 6. Papa Murphy's Pizza- who doesn't love pizza? 7. Le Nonne- an amazing Italian restaurant in Logan where Josh and I went on our first date :) 8. Subway- you can't beat a footlong for $5

8 things I am looking forward to:
1. Having little kiddies:) 2. Graduting from college in May 3. Moving out of Logan 4. Knowing where we will be going to Law school 5. Buying some couches that aren't so ugly we have to put couch covers on them 6. Going to Italy to visit Josh's mission 7. Learning how to cook more than 3 meals 8. Being done with this post!

Thanks to those of you who endured reading this post... thanks again Nat and Lindsay for forcing me to write things about myself!

I forgot to add this when I first posted, but I tag Alissa, Brynn, Durb and Jen Crockett. Don't feel pressured, only do it if you want to!

Bear Lake Weekend

The "golfers"

We got the opportunity to go to Bear Lake with my family for the weekend. We went swimming, golfing and just basically sat around and ate a lot. It was so fun to relax and spend time together. We slept on a hide-a-bed, so we are both looking forward to sleeping in our comfy king bed tonight! We are so lucky to have such great families :)

Computer trouble

Well, our computer with all of our pictures is down for the count, so unfortunately we don't have any recent pictures to post. Josh has been trying to fix it for a few days, but no progress has been made yet. Hopefully it will be fixed soon and we are crossing our fingers we didn't lose everything on it!

We are staying busy with school and work and FINALLY our apartment manager job has slowed down a bit. Josh is studying to take the LSAT on October 4th... I am pretty sure I am more nervous than he is. After he takes the test then he will start applying to a few law schools. These next few months are going to be pretty busy!

TV Land

Josh and I have been married for over 9 months, and being the poor students that we are, the last thing we could afford was TV. Then COMCAST came out with an incredible deal... only $10 a month for basic channels with a few extras:) We figured we could part with $10 a month in order to stay up with what's going on in the world. We are sad to say that we missed the majority of the Olympics, but the past few days have been great watching some of the events! I guess I always took TV for granted, because having it back the past few days has been so enjoyable!

Park City Engagement

It is hard to believe, but a year ago from today Josh and I got engaged! To say I was completely oblivious to what was going on would be an understatement. Obviously we were getting married because that very morning we met with a wedding planner at the Joseph Smith building, but I had no idea Josh had talked with my parents, so I wasn't expecting anything. I thought I would know when it happened because my mom tells me everything, but she was a good actor and I didn't suspect anything :) We drove up to Park City and walked along Main Street, got some ice cream and rode the trolley. Then we went on the roller coaster type thing by the Alpine Slide and then Josh suggested we go on the ski lift up to the top of the mountain. Again, I was completely unaware of anything that was going on (and meanwhile I am thinking Josh is nuts for spending like $20 a person to ride a ski lift). We get to the top of the mountain and we started walking along this path, when all of the sudden I saw this blanket set up with lots of rose petals everywhere, and I immediately turned to Josh and whispered "oh my gosh we are interrupting someone's picnic...let's get out of here!" You are probably thinking I am an idiot, and I totally was because I wasn't expecting anything. He grabbed my hand and took me over to the blanket and we sat down and starting talking and then he asked me to be with him forever! Ah, what a sweetheart :) Meanwhile, Josh's parents were in the bushes taking pictures, which I am glad of because we have the whole thing documented! We talked for a while, and then we rode down the ski lift to where both sets of our parents were waiting and then we went out to dinner. It is so weird to think that was a year ago!

Busy Busy

Wow... it has been a long time since we have posted. Our apartment manager job has kept us extremely busy, and I can't wait for school to start just so we have everyone moved in and the craziness will die off.
Josh really likes his new job at Bearnson & Peck law firm. He is a runner, so basically he gets to run errands and make lots of copies all day. I think he is really enjoying it though and is learning a lot.
I am finally done with summer school and I am grateful to have made it out alive! Summer school is way intense and I wasn't a huge fan, but I got some classes out of the way that I needed to, so that is all that matters.
Other than that we haven't really been doing much that is "blog worthy" :(
The picture above is ugly, but is of my new BROWN hair, which is a huge change for me! I have been blonde my entire life, so everytime I look in the mirror I hardly recognize myself! I also cut off about 10 inches, so that was also a bit of a change. I was ready for a change and my new hair makes me feel more mature :) Hopefully we will be doing some fun things in the next few weeks, so our blog isn't so boring!
