Cutest Quilt for Baby Hallie

Me, Lynsi, and Chris' mom have helped put together a quilt for new baby Hallie. She is so cute and we've loved seeing her already. I didn't help as much with the quilt as with the flowers to go on the blanket.

We made a ton of flowers and sewed them onto the bottom right corner of the blanket.


This blanket was unique because some of the flowers that we made for the blanket were made into hair clips for the baby. We sewed buttons on the blanket so a handful of the flowers can come off and on for the baby to wear!

Here's a few of the flowers we put onto the blanket:

Cricutting Calendar

I needed a calendar for my room so I bought this one from Michaels for $2.40. I filled in the dates and used my Cricut to make pictures for each month.

I made sure to leave room on each month that I've done so far so I can place my monthly goals in a place.

Hopefully it will be summer by June!

Take Me There

Rascal Flatts Take Me There was the song going over and over in my head when Chris took me to his old high school which is going to be taken down. They built a new school right next door and it was the last time to go through and see the school.
Chris took me around and showed me the gym, where he had classes, lockers, lounge area, lunch, and heard a bunch of stories I loved it. Thanks for Taking Me There!

Anniversary!!!

I love our month anniversaries. It's so much fun to look back on when we began dated or the journey. I looked back on a few pictures of when we've dated. So cute!

Picture from one of his cousin's wedding receptions in the wintertime
The first picture I could find of us. This is before we were dating, we went up with some of my friends to a park where we had a bonfire and roasted some marshmallows.

This was the day of or day before we were official. I was staying at Kelly's apartment before going back to Michigan and on our way to our date I wanted to take a picture by Cosmo.

One of my favorite dates! Chris took me to a park and we swung on the big swing, watched the duckies, watched interesting people, and had a great time just talking.

Same date with the duck pond behind us.

Stopping for gas on our way to the lasagna party. There was a rainbow and I wanted us to get a picture in front of it (same time we took the picture that's on top of my blog). The guy who took our picture actually offered both of us jobs on the spot for something.

We went to a BYU at the Energy Solutions Arena. I got everyone in for free it was fun. I did marketing for BYU athletics and could get us really close for basketball or football.
Temple Square seeing all the lights. So beautiful. You can't really see us in this pic but this is a favorite for us. We were bummed out that night because we arrived at like 9:58 saying how excited the lights were still on and BAM.. the lights were out by 10:00 but eh, we were able to be there and see the temple.


When we went to Park City with his roommates. I bought a cute watch while we were up there and I got so car sick. Thanks for being there for me like always!

Dove in blue foam for a BYU event. So fun, I've always wanted to do it but my first three years here I was always working. We finally went and was a blast turning blue!
Watching BYU basketball. We were able to get onto the first few rows because I was with marketing. It was such a great basketball season.

Another reception we went to. It was fun being with Chris' family and he looks so cute.

More BYU football games. I had to help out a bit for this game but came up to visit him and the fam. Our eyes look the same color in this one.
Thanks so much for all the good memories and so much more to come!

Heads is right - Tails is left

Today was gorgeous! Better weather recently I hope it stays like this and gets even hotter!

After family dinner, we went on a drive in the convertible. Chris wanted surprise me this time on our drive and so he took me to Utah Lake where we drove around a lot of it and admired the beauty and talked. On our way home we decided to flip a coin to determine our path of direction. Heads is right, tails is left it's pretty fun. We did pretty well for getting back home without being too off course.

Even though we were just having fun, when looking for the right way to go the Savior is always the right way and will lead us back safely. I loved a talk years ago by President Hinckey about the Lord being as steady as the Northern Star. The Northern Star will never change its course and is so reliable because it never changes, and is always there. When following the Lord we know we can depend on Him because He is the way and He knows how we can make it to our Eternal Destination.

Time with Chris

As a couple it's so important to make time for each other no matter how crazy one's schedule is. Right now my schedule is not busy at all, but I love how Chris always makes time to see me, take me out, just talk, or just spend quality time.


Last night we fondued! I don't know if that's a word.. but it is now. I put together some toppings of kiwi, grapefruit, orange, rolos, Goo Goo clusters, starburst.. so basically what I had laying around. We ate it in front of a movie it was so fun!


Today we went and played some tennis. It was perfect tennis weather because it was cloudy, about to rain but thank goodness it didn't, and a cool breeze. It felt great and he is so good!


This morning I went grocery shopping and I got some things for us to eat. Throw it in a crock pot and tonight we are having a scrumptious pot roast which is super easy to throw together! (No this is not mine but I'm sure it's just as yummy. I'm glad Chris isn't a picky eater).
So fun, thanks again babe for always taking time for me :)
