Thanksgiving 2010

This Thanksgiving we were able to spend time with Matt's Dad, uncle Jack, and Grandpa. We spent the day at Jack's house eating delicious food, and spent the night playing Monopoly (or as Jack calls it - Monotany). It was such a fun day.

I love Thanksgiving because it gives me a chance to think about my life and how lucky I am. I am so grateful to have such a loving, wonderful, patient, fun husband. He is the best part of my day, and I still love him after 3 1/2 years of marriage and 9 (almost) years of being together. Each year gets better, and I can't wait to see what this next year will bring.

I am also grateful for my wonderful family. I am so lucky to have so many great sisters, an awesome brother, and amazing parents! I don't know what I would do without them. We miss you Mom and Dad!!

Halloween 2010

Matt and I love having our friends over for Halloween, and this year was no exception. We all get dressed up and have a competition for best costume, play lots of fun games, and eat lots of yummy food. This year we played games from the tv show "Minute to Win It." Needless to say, the games were really hard, but still a lot of fun.

Guardsman's Pass

Matt and I have made it a yearly tradition to go up Guardsman's Pass each fall right when the leaves are changing colors. It is one of my favorite new traditions that we have started, and we always finish the day by spending time in Park City. This year we went to dinner with Trish and Tyler at Baja Cantina (one of our favorite restaurants). It was a lot of fun!

Jason and Emily's Wedding

Our good friends, Jason and Emily, were married this year on the top of the Alpine Slide in Park City, UT. It was a beautiful wedding!

I love my new shelves!

This summer Trish helped me hang these cute shelves in my bedroom and I finally decorated them. They look so cute, and it finally feels like our room is finished.

Thanks Trish for the cute shelves. We love them!

Update

We have had a busy couple of months, and I am terrible at blogging. Here is my attempt to keep you all up to date on all of the crazy things that have happened in the last few months.

***********************

Matt had a birthday on June 17th. He is an old man at the age of 28 (just kidding baby). We had a fun weekend of celebrating. He had class on his birthday, so we just had a quiet night at home with tacos and birthday cake. On Friday night I took him out to Market Street Grill and had a yummy dinner (with an annoying waitress). Then on Saturday night we went out with friends to The Bohemian Brewery and then on to Wise Guys Comedy. It was such a fun weekend, and a great way to celebrate Matt's big 2-8. I hope you had a wonderful birthday baby!!

******************

I went to my niece's baptism and sat in the backyard for about an hour and got the worse sunburn that I have had in a long time! Matt took this picture of me, which is just too funny to not share. I used to be super tan, and working at a tanning salon helped that out a lot. Now that I spend most of my time indoors, I get burned when I just look at the sun. Too funny!!

*******************

Matt and I had our 3rd anniversary (which I already blogged about), but I had to post a picture from that night. I forgot to bring my camera to Market Street, but we did take a few pictures when we got home. Happy anniversary baby!! I love you!!

*************************

I have been finishing up school with an A-Z countdown that my team does every year, and for L day I wanted to bring Lincoln Logs and Legos to school to let the kids play with them as a fast finisher. Matt used to love playing with Lincoln Logs and Legos as a kid, and we have boxes filling our basement with his old toys. So I asked Matt if I could bring his toys to school, and he had a really hard time agreeing to it, but he eventually let me. When I got home he had to open the Lincoln Logs and build a log cabin. I love that he is a little kid at heart. We totally have that in common.

Here are a few pictures of him and Macy hard at work on his masterpiece.

***********************

Matt had an accident during his league basketball game. He was driving the ball down the court and a player from the opposing team rammed right into him, pushing him into the wall behind the hoop head first. He had a mild concussion and was taken to the ER in an ambulance. It was pretty scary (and pricey) but he is doing just fine now.
He had a lot of support that showed up at the hospital. I called his mom and step-dad and my mom and dad, and they all showed up. Lisa happened to be working upstairs at the hospital and was able to come down to check on us to make sure he was ok. Thanks guys for your love and support!

There, now I feel like you have been updated on all the important events from the last few months. Have a wonderful summer!!

3 Years!

Today is our 3 year anniversary. It seems like time is just flying by! I guess that is what happens when you are having fun. Matt was a sweetheart and had flowers sent to my school today. It was a really sweet surprise! I squealed so loud that I scared a group of 1st graders. It was really funny!


Then:

Now:We have had some great times these last 3 years. Here are a few of my favorite memories:

• Our honeymoon to the Mexican Riviera
  
• Buying our Townhouse


• Going to Disneyland with my parents and sister


• Matt getting rehired at Fanzz after a "not-so-pleasant" 8 month span of trying to find the right job.
  
• Switching schools and finding Falcon Ridge! Love it!!


• Macy having to get 9 teeth pulled! Still very sad, but funny too.


• Matt and I both have bought new cars since getting married. Hopefully we won't be doing that again for a while.


• Sometimes my favorite thing to do with Matt is just hang out at home and laugh. Those are my favorite memories!
  

Here's to the next 3 years. I know they will be just as wonderful!
