Halloween 2013
Adam dressed up as a photographer captured by terrorists. It was pretty funny. He also won a prize at work for the costume. I am just a Utes athlete.Nothing fancy.

On November 7th, my grandpa passed away. He was just weeks away from being 95 years of age.
I am so grateful that we were able to see him in June. Little did I know, that was going to be our last time seeing him on this earth. He was a great man, even though I barley knew him.

Thanksgiving 2013
This year it was just Adam and I. We did a super small lunch/dinner and spent the day putting up our Christmas tree. Adam and I only had this day off for the week so we had to get it up while we had the time.
We bought a new tree. We saw it last year and both fell in love
I love the way it turned out!

Another snow storm and Adam thinking he can make it up the driveway.....nope! Got stuck!
It is so nice to have a snow blower! Saves us every time!

This was the neighbor gift I gave out this year. It is nice to finally have a neighborhood to give things to. We did several things in our condo, but not as many or as fun.

Every year my mom writes a letter to all the friends and family and attaches a family picture. Since we stayed home this Christmas, we had to send her a picture of us to add. This is how that picture taking went down.
Never a duel moment with this man here! Love him!

Temple square tradition. We have been going every year since before we officially started dating. The Church does such a wonderful job! I love to visit this time of the year!

Adam and I went to St. George for our annual weekend with his brothers family.
We had so much fun, I forgot to take more pictures! But at least I got one with this cute girl!

January 21-24, 2013
I had a work training in Las Vegas for a week. Since I was in St. George- Adam dropped me off and we have plenty of time to do some shopping and spending some time together before the long week apart.
I met up with two co-workers and our consultants. Lets say I had fun, but Vegas is just not my thing.
These guys would not leave us alone until we took a picture with them. Thor could not hold me for very long. He was shaking the entire time. He said it had been a long day. And he would not let me hit my co-worker with the hammer.
Bellagio. Always beautiful and a must to do while there.
Hanging out with all the drinkers at Margaritaville. The above is what the bar tender made me. He thought I was just the designated driver. Nope. Don't drink. They all thought it was awesome!
It was fun, to a point. Glad it was over when it was.

I turned 29 on the 29th! So of course I had to have a party!
Golden Birthday Theme and all!
My friend Mallorie made the best and cutest cupcakes for me! She loves me!
Had lots of food and lots of people came! Thanks to all of my friends who came to the Stadium and had a fun night with us!
It snowed pretty hard that night. Adam liked the melted snow in my hair.
Happy Birthday to me!

Adam and I went shooting one Saturday with his brother and our nephews.
Had to entertain the boys while we we're all taking turns shooting. I think he is pretty cute. What do you think?
Don't worry. We had to run him over before we left. The boys said that was the best part!
Thanks for a good, fun time Adam. It was a much needed break away.

Adam and I like to be kids sometimes.....

Garden season.
Preparing all our soil for seed planing.

Long story short- Adam locked me out of the house one night for about 4 hours......Let's just say he really Redeemed himself with these. It was already a rough week at work and then to freeze outside for a while, he got the wrath! Sorry, babe! Thanks for the beautiful flowers. Love ya!

We have this huge porch......
It seemed very plain and uninviting sometimes. So I came up with an idea.
Make my own rug! Outdoor rugs are hundreds of dollars and I just didn't like any of them that I could find.
I ordered two outdoor rugs from Home Depot, figured out a pattern, grabbed
some cheap paint and went to town.
I love the way it turned out! It did take a lot longer then I thought it would, but it was worth my two full Saturdays and the $35 I spent.

Adam loves to make anything! He made homemade graham crackers one night. They were delicious!

April 4th-8th, 2014
Work had been so crazy and I needed a break! I booked a flight to Texas to see my family!
First annual nurf gun fight at my brothers new house.
Such a blast! His house is open and had lots of good hissing places. No broken bones or injuries=successful fun!
In between Saturday conference, my mom and I went and pampered ourselves to pedicures. Love mom time!
Hudson and I watching conference
Mason and I as well.
Funny Jensen
Dinner fortune.
On the way back from dinner, the winds and rains came from now where. Streets were flooding and it was crazy. A few minuets after it all ended. His beautiful rainbow showed up.
Last day my mom, sister in law, Maren and this cute kid headed to the outlets. Always a tradition every time!
I had such a nice time and wish I could have stayed longer, but really couldn't.
I also went to lunch with my BFF, Alisha. She now lives I San Antoinio and am excited I get to see her when I go there and when she comes back to Utah! No pictures were taking. Had too much fun catching up and seeing her cute baby!
More posts to come to get me caught up. I know you're all dying to know what has been going on in outlives, right ;)
