Happy 6 Month Anniversary!

I cannot believe it's been 6 months!! :)) But oh! What a great 6 months it has been :) every minute has been the BEST in my life and I have loved growing with Preston. We have learned a whole lot in being married and through little fights, lazy days together and working hard to create a life for ourselves that we can be proud of, we have grown in love. I'm seriously THE luckiest girl to have found Preston. He is kind and sincerely the BEST husband :)

To celebrate our 6 month anniversary we slept in (verrry unusual for us, especially to be sleeping in TOGETHER) and went to the High School State track meet at BYU and cheered on his brother Taylor, while he threw javelin. He did awesome, we were all so proud of him. Then Preson and I went to BYU campus and looked around the Astro Fest! There were little kids everywhere! We sat down on a bench in the shade and watched little ones launch their bottle rockets, go way high up in the sky, almost out of sight, until... they came down crashing into people as they walked by.. it was so fun ;) haha Unfortunately I had to work last night so I trudged off to work and Preston stayed home. When I walked through the door late, there he was.. sitting in his church clothes, surrounded by lit candles everywhere!

It was incredibly sweet and such a great surprise! He left rose petals in the bedroom and a sweet letter about these past 6 months and how the rest of the months in our marriage will be the best of his life. :) so tender and so romantic, such a cute guy i tell you :) Then he handed me a bag. In it was a gorgeous little diamond band to go with my wedding ring he gave me. 

I'm SUCH a lucky girl :) He made me some yummy dinner and we enjoyed talking and reminiscing (sorry, no spell check on these things) all the amazing things we have experienced together. I love Preston more than anything :) i can't wait to spend eternity with such an amazing guy.



Spring Break with Mamma Mia

So... last time i tried to update my our blog, i was just about to hit "post" and accidentally hit "delete" and it went back to the previous page and DELETED my entire post so.. here i am finally cooled down enough to re try it :))
For springbreak this year since my husband at BYU still had school (neener neener)my mom and i flew to California for the day to spend a great day in the sun relaxing and then watch the Bachelor season finale. Oh how excited we were! So off we went :) we arrived in Long Beach Cali and went to drop our stuff off at the hotel. After a great breakfast at an Irish pub restaurant (don't worry, no hard liquor for us)we grabbed some beach chairs and took them to mcDonald's. It was great and we had a blast laughing at ourselves hauling these chairs up the street in all the little stores walking to the beach. ha :)

The beach was JUST what we needed. We had gotten some very amazing treats to eat: a 15000 calorie 7-layer bar and a sushine frosted sugar cookie... probably not the best for our amazing physiques (spelling?) but man were they delicious and SO worth it. It was freezing on the beach! we talked about how funny it is that you can totally tell who the tourists are becuase they are the ones in swimsuits shivering while the true Californians are cozily bundled up and in head-to-toe wetsuits if they even decide on even getting in the water.

After we were burnt to a red crisp we walked to the edge of the pier to an old fashioned diner called Ruby's. We chose to get a peanut butter cup shake.... modeled below ;) and i got a terryaki pineapple aloha burger. AH it was lovely :))

Although, the company was much better :)

To finish a wonderful time in Cali, we watched the Bachelor finale and had a blast laughing, crying and giggling at the show we have loved to watch together. I had a wonderful time with a wonderful woman that will always be my example and friend. :) love you mamma mia!

p.s. we were told that the pier is 1.7 miles! we must have walked at least 5 or so miles that day JUST on the pier! haha which we figured was ok with all the calories we consumed this trip ;)
