Farm Country

We have a Thanksgiving Point pass, so we find ourselves going up there at least once a week. I've been SO anxious to take Duke to the Farm Country because he 's so obsessed with animals, I knew he'd be in heaven. Now that it's starting to warm up, I figured it's the perfect time to go before it gets too hot. Just like I anticipated, Duke was ecstatic. He had his cheesy grin on his face the whole time and especially loved feeding the sheep and lambs (although he was terrified of touching the horses). It was a fun little trip and I'm sure we'll have many more trips to come!

Cabin Bound

My family took off for a weekend getaway to our cabin in Oakley, UT. A trip to the cabin consists of pajamas all day, no make-up, lounging around, no service, rides on "the beast" (my parents RAZR), and constantly eating - no one judges you for eating seconds and there is definitely no dieting up at the cabin. It's honestly one of my favorite getaways!

(this is just a glimpse of the junk food at the cabin...)

My brother-in-law, Bryce, spent the week working on the posts at the cabin. Before, the posts were very crooked and looked like they could collapse any time... so he replaced all of them. The finished product was amazing!!

While the boys slaved away outside, us girls did gel nails. Chad gave me a gel nail kit 2 years ago for Christmas and I have seriously been obsessed with it. I will never go back to normal nail polish, it doesn't even compare!

#LDSconf x 2

Today was filled with inspiring general conference talks, a cuddle session with Bruno, makeup tutorials, an intense game of Scrabble, egg mcmuffins, running 2 miles to burn off the egg mcmuffin, getting caught in the rain, and capturing a full sized rainbow. 

Life is good. 

{they look disgusting, but they were actually pretty good...the egg turned out thicker than we thought it would}

2 Years Later...

Two years ago today was one of the best days of my life.... it was the day I committed to spend forever with my best friend, and it was the best decision I have ever made. It's crazy how fast time flies when you're having fun. I am so excited to spend many more years with this handsome fella. He brings so much joy and happiness into my life. 

Every year on March 22, we hike Battle Creek Falls to the place Chad proposed. It has been such a fun tradition!

St George Getaway

Chad and I needed some adventure, so we packed our bags and drove to St. George for the weekend. We arrived late Thursday night at our hotel. As we opened the trunk to get our suitcase, it wasn't there. We both stood there laughing at the empty trunk. "How could you forget your luggage?".. You might ask... We asked ourselves the same question many times... We were just so anxious to leave the house, we ran out the door with out suitcase sitting by the door.

I remembered that Kellie, my manager from work, was driving to Vegas on Friday. She was so sweet to pick up our suitcase and bring it to us :) In the meantime, we made a quick stop at a gas station to buy the necessities; toothbrush, toothpaste, deodorant, etc. On Friday, we improvised and went to a makeup store at the outlets and I used some of the "testers" and a sample a perfume to keep me fresh.. It worked like a gem. 

We spent the day shopping at the outlets/mall and Main Street, grabbed some lunch at Camille's, got a tour of the tabernacle and Jacob Hamblins house, ate some burgers at Marvs (which were amazing) and met up with Kellie, to get our bag. We were seriously so lucky she was able to bring it, she was a life saver. We hiked in the Red Hills until the sun set. We ended the night by getting smoothies at the Orange Peel.

On Saturday, we got up early and hiked Snow Canyon. 70 degrees + amazing views... Doesn't get much better than that!

Later that afternoon, we headed to Las Vegas. Of course, we had to check out the outlets before heading to the Strip. Chad is a good man for putting up with my shopping addictions :) 

Sunday we headed to Zion National Park. We hiked 3 different trails, overall 5 miles. It was so much fun, and the best weather! It was such a great little getaway with my main squeeze :)
