She chopped off my hair.

I got a hair cut today... and by that I mean she took off around 4 inches. I wasn't really expecting it to be quite this short- I was thinking 2 inches would be a pretty big trim... but I like it, its easy to do, and it will grow back.

well. here it is.

We are cookie monsters...

This may not look like a lot of cookies, but there are about 60 cookies right there and for 2 people, it is a lot- but we also like them a lot... so sometimes they don't stay around for too long.

WE MISS THEM ALREADY!

Abbi and chad left yesterday and are moving to Georgia. We are SO glad that they get to be around family still, but we are sad that they don't live so close anymore! We had so much fun with them and wish them the best in GA.

Before they left, we were able to go to a Real Salt Lake soccer game with them and some of Chad's family. We sat next to some real soccer fans who hit their drums, lit smoke bombs, and screamed, yelled, and danced the whole game. They were a little loud, but good at showing their team spirit. It was so fun and we even got a concert with David Archuleta after the game. He only sang 4 songs, but it was still kind of fun.

Earlier in the day I took family pics for Chad's fam, then Adam and I went to lunch with my friend Tom, from Colorado, who is out in SLC for an internship during the summer. It was so fun to see him!

ANYWAY- here are some pics from the game.

LAST WEEK of SPRING TERM!

This is what I have been doing for the past few weeks...

ONLY A FEW MORE DAYS!!! I can do it.... but hopefully I won't have to stay up WAY WAY WAY WAY WAY past my bedtime again to finish it all.

1 YEAR WEDDING ANNIVERSARY

1 YEAR WEDDING ANNIVERSARY!

So -we celebrated this a month ago (April 30)

We have been married for one very fun, happy, exciting, and WONDERFUL YEAR! I have so much fun being with Adam and just love every moment we get to spend together. Who knew that you could love one person so much? He makes me laugh a lot and I am one VERY HAPPY girl.

TO celebrate: Adam and I both had work that day and I had class from 9 to 4 so... after that, we decided that we wanted to to go on our first date again. It was the best way to celebrate and so fun! We started off going to Outback steakhouse for dinner, then we went home to put the flowers he brought me in a vase and to get the materials for the next part of our evening.

Then, we went up to Rock canyon Park and watched a movie outside! (He proposed to me up there). When we got home, we ate some cake from Magleby's and thought it would be funny to feed it to each other... ha. (We had that cake for our wedding) The next day we spoiled ourselves and went and got massages.

It was such a fun night and great to just be with him. I will keep him around forever.

We got this neat sketch as a 1 yr. present - signed by the artist - Liz Lemmon Swindle - She was at BYU and I had her sign it.

ANIMAL MASKS

In April I was in Colorado for 3 out of 4 weekends! It was very crazy and I missed having the weekends to recuperate and do normal around the house stuff, but it was also SO FUN to go home and visit. For 1 weekend, Adam and I both were able to go out for Blake's mission farewell! I am so excited for him. He just left the MTC on Wed. and flew out to Minnesota. While he was out here visiting about a month before he left, I took some mission pics of him but will have to post them later...

For 2 of the weekends I was there to photograph weddings and missed Adam. It was the first time we had been apart since we've been married. Anyway- I am almost done editing both of the weddings, and was going to wait to post these when I could post some from that, but I just looked at these pictures again and couldn't wait. It was so fun to see some family! We are lucky enough to go visit Adam's family in July... maybe we will be making some more masks soon :)

Some of them also put on a puppet show...

Thai Ruby

In March, Adam's Mom came out to visit and we had such a fun time with her here! We love it when family comes to visit. We went out to eat one night at Thai Ruby. YUM!

I love Daffodils!

SCHOOL

Well- Class has started up again and spring term at BYU is half over already. I am taking a test every week for 2 of my classes, and the other 2 aren't too bad. Just a lot of work.

maybe this is a good enough excuse for not updating for a few weeks?

DANCESPORT!

Lance dance's with the BYU Ballroom team and let me tell you, he is GOOD! man can he dance. it is so fun to watch him. My parents are big dancers too and I just love watching them too. I love going to dancesport and seeing everyone dance, but then I try to do it when I get home and realize that we all have different talents. ha- maybe I would be good at interpretive dance.

My parents and Brittney came in town for dancesport and we had a great time!!!

INTRAMURALS!

Winter semester, Adam played on a flag football team and I played on a soccer team.

It was nice because my freshman year i became friends with some girls and have played on soccer teams with them every season since. So whenever anyone organizes a team, we all play together. This season was especially nice because my team was AWESOME! Everyone was so good and it really was a lot of fun to play. I played defense all season and the boys on our team were really good, but were also good at passing to all of the girls and treating us as equals. Sometimes when you play with boys, that doesn't happen, but these guys were great! I loved playing on this team!

We did really well the whole season and so intramurals moved us up to the top league for the tournament. For the first few games we killed the other teams with scores like 13-2 and 10-0. Then we hit a hard team and lost, but because it was double elimination, it just moved us to the loser's bracket where we won all of our games and went to the championship. At the championship we ended up losing in over time. It was a bummer, but it was a lot of fun! Here are our team pictures:

LANCE's Birthday!

My brother lance turned 24 in March, so to celebrate, we went bowling and I made the BEST cupcakes. I add a secret ingredient. Then, on Sunday we had a yummy dinner! Happy late birthday to lance!

Date night

Awhile ago, we went out on a fun date with our friends Brandon & Laura. First, we went to bombay house for dinner which was delicious, then we went to a BYU basketball game, then we went to Cold stone creamery for ice cream afterward! We had a lot of fun!

CUTE!

This was a wedding present we got and I think it is cute.

Be good for a change

Adam's Grandpa H* passed away in late February. It was so sad to see him go, but happy because we know we will see him again. Even for the little time that I have known him, I have just loved being around him. He was very funny and very intelligent. It is fun to get to know Adam's family better and to see where he comes from. His Grandparents are so sweet and patient and kind. Abbi was saying that whenever you get to see Grandma H* it gives you the biggest self confidence boost because she cannot stop talking about how sweet, kind, nice, loving, handsome, beautiful, etc. etc you are. What a sweet woman! It is easy to see where Adam's family gets their awesome, positive, happy, and kind outlook on things. Adam's grandpa was also so funny and would say to you when you left after visiting, "Be good for a change".

With the funeral and all, Adam's parents and sisters were able to come in town and we just loved having them here! Adam's mom & I did the flower arrangements for the funeral with white roses symbolizing the children, white tulips symbolizing the grandchildren, and one white calla lily to symbolize his sweet wife. We also did some sprays and I think they turned out well! I could not have done it without dam's mom! We also went through a ton of pictures that were in the house and distributed them to the siblings in the family. It was quite a project but it was fun to go through old pictures with everyone. We were also able to go to one of adam's intramural flag football games and go to dinner one night.

Anyway: here are some pictures! Adam's sister Audra took some WONDERFUL pictures of all of the events. Click here to see them!
