Month One

Well we've made it one month today and we haven't killed, maimed, or driven each other crazy so I think we're doing good. :) To celebrate, since we didn't really want to do much on Sunday, Saturday we kind of celebrated our one month.

To start off, he said he had to go run some errands, like get some AC recharger for his car since the AC has been a little weaksauce lately. About an hour later he gets home, with all this:



It's two Hershey's with Almonds -- my favorite --, two bouquets of flowers -- one is green roses just like our wedding colors--, and the Skylanders set I've had my eye on for a little while. It's a video game with little figurines. It's crazy addicting and this is one of the little guys I've wanted for a while but never got.

Later that day, we decided we'd go to dinner, and since we were heading down to give my sister back her camping chairs we'd borrowed for the movie a couple weeks ago, we decided to go to dinner down in the Provo area because there are more options down there than there are up here in Heber. So after dropping off the chairs to my sister in Lehi, we realized there was an Olive Garden down close to her in American Fork, so we went there. Their 2 for $25 deal is awesome. We got so much food that I was stuffed all night long. Definitely recommend it to anyone. Well, and I also just love Olive Garden.


We tried the Bella Limonata. It's like a pomegranate lemonade and it was actually really good, just not much pomegranate.



And I just had to reiterate, I have the best husband ever. He bought me TWO bars of Hershey's! TWO! I am a lucky girl. :)

He's also been watching the Olympics with me a little bit, even though I know he'd rather play video games while I watch the Games. I've been waiting for the women's gymnastics, since that's my favorite. And today we watched the US men's water polo team beat Motenegro by one goal, which was a nailbiter -- I played water polo in high school so it was awesome getting back into the groove and seeing the sport played again. Just waiting for the women's to come on while I'm updating this. It looks like it's gonna be a good games. Excited to see how it all plays out.

Until next week!

Numero Uno

Okay. So this has been taken a while to make, just because I keep putting it off since life hasn't had a ton of exciting things happen. Though this week has been relatively exciting.

First thing to say, being married has been awesome! We finally finished unpacking his boxes -- he had more than I thought he would -- and getting things set up. It is finally starting to sink in that this is real, not just a dream, and it's been great.

We went and saw the movie he's been SO excited to see I'm pretty sure for years, The Dark Knight Rises. The final Batman movie in the newest Batman sequence. Midnight showings are killer, just in case anyone was wondering. But it was a really fun night. We went to dinner at Buffalo Wild Wings in Lehi -- always looking for an excuse to go to dinner there haha -- then we went to sit in line. I saw a couple friends from high school there so that was fun. Then we went into the theater about two and a half hours before the movie started.
We waited for Kevin and his date and Steve and his wife to show up, then played Monopoly on Steve's iPad until the movie started. By the time it started the game still wasn't over -- goodness that game is long. I forgot just how long it was. The movie was really a lot better than I expected it would be. It wasn't as dark or intense as the Dark Knight which I liked. So all in all the movie wasn't a bust. It was also a fun little evening for us, so that's always good.

That's really the biggest thing that's happened for us over the past few weeks besides getting adjusted and unpacked. Gearing up for school to start in a month and have our one-month anniversary on Sunday.

Sorry for the boring-ness of the post. The more I do this the more I think I'll get into the picture taking and putting up. And hopefully there will be more fun things to post about in the coming weeks.

Love ya!
