Memorial Day Weekend

Ever since I can remember, my family has been going to the car show at the South Town Expo Center in Sandy every January. It has been a such a fun tradition. I don't think I've ever missed a year. Even last year, being 38 weeks pregnant, and just off bed rest, we knew we couldn't miss it.. even if I did wobble and sit for more than half the time ;) 

This year, it was so fun to introduce Duke to it. Although he doesn't understand what it is, he was loving every minute pushing the buttons in every car we sat in. I have a feeling he's just going to love it more and more every year. Afterwards, we went to the Cheesecake factory with my parents, Sean & his girlfriend. It was a great day with the fam and definitely a memory for the books!

Car Show

Each year, my family goes to the South Towne Expo Center for the Car Show. Chad and I met my parents and Ryan & Christine up there. Our favorite cars this year were the Mercedes SUV, Chevrolet truck and a Volkswagen SUV.

Looking at the beautiful, brand new cars, makes us definitely want to buy one, but I have to admit, it is nice not having a car payment. My parents bought me a 2009 Nissan Versa when I was a senior, and Chad has a 1999 Honda Civic that has been passed down from sibling to sibling. Since Chad is the youngest, he gets to keep it. We have been very blessed with cars and we don't plan on buying one until we absolutely need to.

We met up with the Chai's (Ryan's family), at Texas Roadhouse for lunch. It was so fun catching up with them. On our way home, Chad and I went shopping at Scheel's. I have been in desperate need of new workout clothes, so we went on a little shopping spree. I love when Chad is in a shopping mood!

Later that night, Chad was still in a shopping mood and insisted that I needed a new coat. I only have 2 coats and they are both very similar and pretty worn. We found a really cute Michael Kors black coat that we couldn't resist. It looks similar to this…

We stopped at Taco Amigo and got our usual order, cheese quesadilla and fries… so tasty! We were both in the mood to relax since we had been going all day. Chad set up the projector in the theater room and we watched some good ol' Napoleon Dynamite. It was a great day/night with the MR!

Car Show

Every year, my family has a tradition of going to the car show at the Auto Expo in Sandy. I always look forward to it in January. Chad and I went to my parents house at 11 am. We rode with them and Sean to the Cheesecake Factory at the Fashion Place mall in Murray to meet up with Ryan, Christine and their family, and Ryan's family.

I love the Cheesecake Factory. The restaurant is so pretty and the food is delicious. I was craving a big, juicy burger and fries. My burger was delightful, it definitely filled my craving. It was fun to be with everyone.

After lunch we headed to the car show. The car show is awesome because there are many different types of cars that you can get in and look at the cool features in the interior. I enjoyed many cars this year. Subaru, Audi and Mercedes had some really nice cars, but my all time favorite car this year was the 2013 mini cooper. I have never been a huge fan of mini coopers, but for some reason, I LOVE the 2013. It's so cute and it looks like a fun car to drive!

We stayed at the car show for a couple hours, then headed back to my parents house. My mom ordered pizza and we watched Karate Kid. I love spending time with the family, they really are the best!

Life has been kind of crazy since the new year. Chad and I are both enrolled at UVU so we are staying busy with our classes. We are both taking online classes, so it's nice to take the classes on our own schedule and pace. We are also in the process of looking for a home to buy. I feel like I have lived on the internet the past few days working with realtors and searching for homes. I am so excited for when we find the perfect home for us. It will be nice to move into our own place!
