Yesterday we joined our friends the Tates for family home evening! Andrea and I have known each other since we were in elementary school and it is so fun to live close to each other after we were separated by family moves in 2004. They invited us over to carve HUGE pumpkins that were grown by…
Family
October in Review!
So this was actually the very end of September, but it is close enough. Andrew took me to my first very really loud rock (at least I think that is what it was) concert. It was VERY loud. And fun. There was a plethora of people watching material. Imagine Dragons and Group Love played, and lots…
Apples Apples Apples!
One of the great things about living is Provo is that I am so close to my grandma. This year, living close to my grandma means that we are also close to lots and lots of apples!!! Andrew kindly picked a bunch for us while my wrist was still having troubles. We’ve got three large…
Wood Shop Dates
After Andrew and I were first married (I mean weeks after, since some people may consider one year still ‘first married’), we started a wood shop class that was required for our major. This led to many many MANY nights late in the wood shop together, working on our projects building a coffee table and…
Dear Apartment,
We really appreciate the roof that you put over our head, the memories that you hold, and the many good things about you. We don’t fault you for the mold, or the broken toilet, or our TV that rarely works. But we just realized how many thousands of dollars we have spent towards our humble…
Spice 5: Love
Our kitchen has been in survival mode the last two weeks. After my hand surgery, I discovered there is very little you can make completely one handed (cereal is my new forte). I did not foresee the difficulty, but fortunately a few wise friends did and they were so kind to bring dinner over for a week…
Grandma Snow
Last Wednesday, Andrew’s Grandma Snow died very unexpectedly. She spent the day doing family history work and talking to her daughter. As she was preparing to leave for a temple recommend interview, she began feeling sick and had a hard time breathing. She passed out, briefly regained consciousness, and passed out again. She was taken to…
Wonderful.
This week has been absolutely wonderful. It is only Tuesday, but already the list is rather long: It is FALL! The air is cool and crisp. The mountains are a vibrant redish orangish color. And on the way to school I see these leaves all over the ground and I just can’t help but smile….
Wedding Reception
It has been a process to get our wedding reception pictures. Our good friend Corina fortunately took some pictures as a ‘back-up’ photographer and was able to get all the pictures she took to us after it was determined we wouldn’t be getting our main photographer’s pictures for quite awhile. The day was absolutely perfect and…
A Friday Night to Remember
The most important news is that we have two new additions to our family (all pictures taken with my cell phone, so quality is not there so much): Andrew stopped and bought me some orchids on the way home from work and a wonderfully thoughtful and amazing friend surprised me with flowers too. We are…
