Happy Halloween!!

True Aggie night!

So these are a little out of order but I still am not sure how to change them. We can finally post pictures from our Halloween parties. Tif and Kelvin had a Halloween party last Friday but we had to wait to post pictures until our party on Halloween so nobody knew what our costumes were. We had a blast at Tif and Kelvin's party. We played games, carved pumpkins, ate lots of yummy food, and let Tif talk us into going bowling in our costumes!! It was a VERY fun night. Dave enjoyed himself a lot, he enjoys being weird in public :) This year I think is the most modest he has been on Halloween for years.
After bowling we ran up to campus to become true aggies. You kiss on the A at midnight. We went in our costumes! Everyone else was dressed normally or in their homecoming dresses. Amanda and I were out of our comfort zones but it was still fun. I think Dave found his new friend. Cody and Dave are TOO much alike!!!!!When Dave and I were kissing on the A somebody yelled, "What is a bear doing kissing a banana?" Can you believe that? I think I look like a monkey...

Us bowling!
Dave, me, Amanda, Cody, Kelvin, Tif, and Aspen


Carving pumpkins


Us! Aren't we so cute!!
On Halloween we went to a party and Adam's house. It was a lot of fun. We also ate lots of food and then played Scene It 2. I get so nervous playing thinking games..my brain does not work that fast. Luckily it was a team game.

The girls
Jade, me, Kim, Marinea, Ashley, Candace, and Leslie

The boys
Chris, Russ, Dave, Nelli, Johnny, Adam, and Danny

The gang.
It was crazy because we had two couples dress up as Marilyn Monroe and JFK and then 2 boys dressed up as the guy on semi-pro. What is the odds of that.
Exciting News though!!! We won for best costume!!:) We got a $20.00 gift card to Chili's :)

Happy Birthday Davey!


We celebrated a lot of Dave's birthday last weekend. I got him tickets to the dashboard concert last Thursday. It was a really good concert, they are such a talented band (At the bottom of this post is some video from the concert. They are not the best but we tried our best.) We went to Five Guys hamburgers before the concert!!! It is sooo yummy. We stayed at our April and Josh Stuarts house that night. It was so much fun. We went to Five Guys again with them on Friday for lunch! Just so you all know where to find Five Guys I will provide you the info. :)

Last weekend we also spent time in Provo. We went to Tacano's Brazilian Grill for dinner Friday night with April and Josh. That is an amazing restaurant. Afterwards we went to comedysportz with Amber, Brad, Jenna, Matt, Danny, his date:). It was a lot of fun. I forgot to take pictures....I dunno why I do that.
Saturday we bought our Halloween costumes, went shopping, and went to the APX party. The APX party was pretty lame. Probably because we didn't win anything :( Sad sad night.

Last night my parents came up for dinner. Dave and I made Roladan (it is a German dish). It was fun to have them come over and dinner was delicious.


Tonight we went to Le Nonne's in Logan. It is a really good Italian restaurant. You are probably able to see that I love food. If you ever need to know good places to eat give me a call. Dave has such good friends. It has been fun because their wives and girlfriends have become my good friends as well. In the picture is Dave, me, Candace, Danny, Lucky, Ashley, Nelli, Adam, and Marinea. Sorry if I spelt any of your names wrong.. Ashley and Nelli just got engaged and we are so excited for them. We had a really good time visiting with each other. Some of they guys are pretty crazy.


Le Nonne let me bring in the cake. It was fun to celebrate his birthday there. I wish I would have been looking at the camera, I look weird.

Dave you are a great husband. Thanks for all you do, I love you very much.

The past few weekend

Dave and I went to his mission reunion in Provo last weekend. It was a lot of fun. I wish I would have taken my camera, I am not sure what I was thinking! His mission president was Elder Perry's son. It was good to meet him and meet companions Dave has told me about. After the reunion we stayed the night with our friends Amber and Brad. It was soooo good to see them, it has been so long. They have been such great friends to us and we have missed them.
We went to both sessions of General Conference on Saturday, it was really neat. There were a lot of things I needed to hear. Danny, Dave's brother, and his friend drove down to Salt Lake with us. It was good to see Danny. We also visited Dave's grandparents who are on a mission in Salt Lake.
Sunday, we spent watching conference with my family. Grams always makes dinner on Sunday so it was fun to visit with my relatives.

This past weekend Dave has been in Chicago for his friends wedding. Dave was a groomsman. Weddings outside of Utah are a lot bigger deal. His friend has been planning this wedding for two years!!!! They all thought Dave and I were crazy to only be engaged for 6 weeks! Our wedding was very simple though. I wish I could have gone with him but we will be in Chicago for Christmas.
Our friends Amber and Brady were married this weekend. I went to the reception and was able to visit with our friends Leslie, Chris, Josh, and April. I was soooo happy! It was so good to see them. We are getting together this coming weekend and I am very excited.

Rodeo


So I know some of you are dying to know how Dave did at the rodeo the other day. Well, I am happy to say he did pretty darn good. His friend was competing in the rodeo for UVU. It was not as exciting as it would have been if it was not a college rodeo but it was still fun. We went with our friends Danny and Candace. This rodeo had a lot of events I had never seen because they have to adapt all the events for the girls. Some of the events embarrassed me because the girls did the wimpiest events. Oh well life goes on. I made Dave promise he will go to another rodeo with me next summer.


After his friend competed he let Dave ride his horse. I made Dave promise that he would not do anything stupid on the horse. He promised and later told me he wished he had not. He said he had the best idea he thought of while riding the horse. He said he wanted to take the horse into the boys bathroom. He said, "Wouldn't it be so cool to be going the bathroom and then have a horse walk in?" I am so glad I made him promise!!! He did a lot better on the horse than I did....

Family Fun


My cousins Alexis, Ian, Whit, and Grayson and I roasted marshmellows in my parents backyard a few weeks ago. We had a lot of fun. We did not have a lot of wood so it was kind of a sad fire but still so much fun.



My cousin Kristy had a beautiful baby names Scarlet. This is her baby shower. It was held at my cousin Brooke's house. She has decorated her house sooo cute. It was fun to all get together. I love getting together with my family!




My cousin Kaitlin got married in August. Here are a few fun pictures

My wonderful husband!

So lately I have been pretty down. I have no energy and am very stressed. School is very stressful and very demanding with my time. I am too young to have no energy and to constantly be so tired. Dave has been so patient with me. I am so thankful he is because I am not so fun to be around when I am feeling this way.
So I was planning on making Swiss steak for dinner tonight. I was going to start it this morning and put it in the crock pot all day but I didn't get out of bed early enough this morning (getting out of bed in the morning is not one of my strong points). As we were driving home from work I was telling him what I was planning on making for dinner. The whole time I was feeling like I had so much to get done tonight and didn't really feel like cooking. I walked in the door and could smell onion, I didn't think much of it but walked into the kitchen and saw a wonderful surprise. Dave came home in between his classes and put the Swiss steak in the crock pot!! I was so happy and relieved. It was honestly better than when i make it. He is so wonderful! During his break he even went to the store and got the things I was needed to get after school. I have a wonderful husband and love him very much. Thank you so much Dave!!:)
