3 Months of Love

Pure Love

Mark and I have been married for exactly 3 months and one day. Since Mark had to work all day I decided I would spend my morning with my mom and my dog Presley at Neilen's Grove. It is this Park in the southwestern area of Orem. It is so pretty!! It is one of those parks that you could honestly say comes straight from a movie! There is a duck pond, big playgrounds, amazing fountain, beautiful gardens, and this revolving swing. I love this park! I wish it was closer to my home so I could come to it more often but I cant. Here are some pictures so you can get an idea...

So, ya know how I don't have any children? Well, I had to improvise for this shot.... So the only alternative was my dog. There you have it people; When life gives you pineapples, make pina coladas!!

My cute little mom had no idea about this picture. I just told her to smile for the camera on my phone. She has no idea this is going to be on the blog! I told her it would be impossible to get the picture from my camera onto the computer! IF ONLY SHE KNEW! Maybe I should tell her.....

Oh and apparently they have over 2,000 different types of tulips, but when I went, they were not completely in bloom, but I took some shots of a couple of some that I thought were really pretty.

So when Mark wasn't working, we went to CHILI'S!! (If you didn't notice, I really like that place.) I was dying to eat their amazing spinach artichoke dip! I absolutely LOVE it~! If you have never had, try it! Three words baby- MMM MMM MMM! Oh, so I got the cute little hamburger things and mashed potatoes and Mark got some chicken fajita thingys. They smelled good. Okay then onto the dessert-----> Our waiter advised us to get this lava/moutain thingy (can't remember; can ya tell?) but it looks and tastes really good. We got it TO GO because the waiter advised us to get it TO GO so we could snuggle on the couch and watch a movie while we eat it..... It was this really yummy hot chocolate cake with vanilla ice cream on top. I dont have pics of it but I have pics of everything else....

Okay, so I thought I had a picture of the spinach artichoke dip, but maybe I didn't...

Uh...

R.A.N.D.O.M.

So. Yesterday, I was ready to finish up on my blog on my dry socket and I looked outside and saw some people gathered around. It seemed just like a little family looking into renting a condo or something like that. Then, not too long after that, I saw four police officers gathered together around the same area and I didn't see the family so I figure there was a lose criminal or car racers or something like that, so I got up to lock the door. When I got up and locked the door I looked out my patio sliding door and saw this horse thing by my car..... I kinda sat there not knowing what to think! And then it rolled over and its guts were hanging out with it too! Hello?! I couldn't BELIEVE what was going on! The horse was like having seizures on my car... and then one of the cops saw me and then they all turned and then they kinda did this sign language lingo asking me if that was my car and I nodded. Then a cop came up and escorted me to my own car and while I was in my car, the horse (with its guts hanging out) shook my car (a lot) and the cops had to guide me because the horse's legs would move from behind the wheels. Intense; eh? It gets better!!

So after the horse gets up and I back fast it starts running everywhere! I am thinking, "Man, if my guts were hanging out everywhere, I wouldnt be running, I would me screaming and moaning and wanting to get pain killers and whatever else I could think of! Not running around in the middle of the road like a lunatic!" After I had to sit in my car and while I waited I took this pic with my phone.

I took this photo and the cop turned around and looked at me as if I did something wrong.... I dont know if I should have taken anymore pics.... So I didnt.. I did however take pictures of my car damage. MY NEW CAR might I add.....

Apparently the horse that lived across the street from our condo was spooked by the construction that was going on around the area and it tried to hop the barb wire fence and it didnt jump high enough. Sad story for the horse. I kinda know the guy just because he always said hi when my dog always barked at his horse when he walked by. I feel for the guy!

Ya want a Blog?

Here's A BLOG!

Meet Leonard. He is my friend. He is nice. He likes to eat fish on cloudy days and walk in the mud. I have never met him. Actually, I dont think Leonard is his real name. I just randomly found this picture online somewhere. I was just desparate to blog something. Just dont hate me anymore..... I still hurt okay?!

The Flu

So lately I have been going to the gym daily and trying to get back into shape. Well, Russ, Nat, Mark, and I were all planning a hike down in Goblin Valley or somethin or other... OUT OF NO WHERE I get the FLU! Last night I was throwing up and my body ached like crazy! So now I dont think I will be able to do the hike, depending on how my body decides to heal. Poor Mark was so tired this morning. I think I slept a total of about an hour. Man, its like my body knows the perfectly wrong time to get sick!

FINALLY

The Car and The Gym


I haven't really had anything to blog, but then yesterdayt it hit me! I haven't blogged my new car! Here's the story... So, yesterday, after Mark and I were leaving to go to the gym, I hurried and grabbed the camera! In the slow process in which my brain functions, I took pictures of Mark heading out the door to go to the gym, (and of course, Mark had to take a picture of me). As I was posing for the camera, it hit me like a ton of bricks! Why was a blogging about the gym? I mean HELLO!?! I just got a new car! After we got to the car and Mark pulled out, I told him to pull off to the side so I could snap some shots for one soul purpose; BLOGGING! Bon appetite!





Don't pay any attention to the messy kitchen in the background.

Our pimpin' ride! Check that baby out! Mmm mmm mmm...

She's got quite the bumper!!

A Plethora of Events

Almost Done

I have been working on the condo quite a bit, and now I am almost done, besides the office and the guest room. Here is what it looks like. It's missing the portraits, headboard, and drapes.

Presley

My mom asked my to take of her dog Presley for a few days; so I did. YOU THINK A LITTLE KID WATCHES TOO MUCH TV, THINK AGAIN! My dog is the funniest dog in the world! For specifics, here ya go: she barks at people making out, the simpsons, family guy, and other wild animals on tv. However; she loves her cartoons. When you change the channel, she gets up, walks to where ever it is you are and just stares at you as if she were looking into your soul. After you change it back, she licks you and walks back to where ever it is she was and sits back down as if nothing had ever happened. Ya I know, random...

Here is that stare I was talking about....

Don't Ask...

We were bored; that's all I have to say.

Sorry...

Sorry Charly....

So, I am very sorry for literally being the laziest/boring blogger. I have heard it all and I apologize yet again.

Natalie Monson- Ya know how you tagged me like forever ago with that 10 pictures blog? Well I decided to do a "remix"..... I am going to do a chronilogical version.

Pre-Acquaintance

Before we met, we had very active lives. We were dating, hiking, wakeboarding, climbing, working, you get the idea.....

In this particular picture, my friend Kristy Jordan and I went on a run to Stewart Falls. If you know where that is or if you have ever been there, it has an extremely steep hill to get up to the falls. It was not hard to get up the hill, it was coming down the hill where I ran into problems. Kristy was in front of me and I didnt want to run into the back of her so I squatted so I could slow down, and as I did, I shot down and slid the entire way until I literally was stopped by a rock and some weeds. Since we ran all the way there, we decided it would be wise to just walk, mostly because that was all I could really do besides waddle.

Out hiking with the family in Orderville Canyon.

Havasupai so beautiful! I want to go so bad!

Check this picture out! Mark is so good at taking pictures~! (for a guy) Ha ha no he is amazing!

Mark loves this picture of himself.... he says "It's cool, okay?!" Yes Mark, it IS very cool!

Bouldering freestyle with my good friend Jamie Sagers. We went down in Provo Canyon and let me tell you! We took a lot of pictures and had a blast! Jamie is seriously the funniest girl you will ever know. She is really shy around people, but since we grew up together, she is the biggest knee slapper there is! P.s. she is 6'5".

Mark and Russell went shark diving..... (look at Mark's eyes!) If you haven't seen the video of those two going down there, come and see it~! It looks crazy down there with those huge sharks everywhere!

Me and Franz here were just enjoying the sights at Park City....FUNNY STORY! I dont think Mark knows about this story. Our photo class went to Park City to take pictures for our portfolios. While we were up there, Jamie and I were taking random pictures and out of no-where this guy that walks past me, then turns around and asks me where I was from. So I told him, then I made up some story of why I was in Park City; I told him I was a traveling photographer. He told me he was in town to start a wine business. I tried to change to topic and leave but he insisted that he helped me out with the pictures. I told him it was no necessary. He understood and gave me his card and kissed my hand. He said if I was ever in town, that I should call him and we could have a romantic evening together. Might I add he was balding and was probably in his forties..... If only he knew I was only 17........

Washing up at Lake Powell with some of my buddies.....

This is a picture of my friend Mica and me at Graduation.

Good Old Miss Orem Pageant- It was such a growing experience. I learned how to public speak, I tutored kids, I learned how to walk, I learned how to cake make-up on my face and clog my pores.... It was a blast!

Pre-Dating

When we pre-dated, we hung out a lot at our parents' homes, with other friends and all that junk.

Dating

We didnt lose sight of each other. Even though I was in the hospital, lounging all of the time, or even sleeping, we were unable to be apart.

Just so you know, Mark is amazing. After I came home from the hospital, Mark would come over during his lunches and after work and stay with me until 10 or 11 at night. Even though I was really high on Percocet, he was always there. He was soooooo cute. He brought me 3 white roses and some balloons, so I put them next to my recliner where I had to sleep for a month.

Sometimes he got tired too so I was his pillow.

Engaged

Engaged??? We were practically married folks! I mean who is really engaged these days? Huh? NO ONE. Hence, we were literally always together.... other than work of course.....

I cant find our pictures of our Engagement night, but here is the sum of that day. We went to The Roof, then we went on a horse drawn carriage through Memory Grove. It was so romantic.....

This was at my fist bridal shower. My friends Jenn and Mica came. Oh the girl in the middle was the girl I was going to set Alan up with, but I just kinda forgot.



We went to Temple Square with my Parents and my dog.

Yeah, you know what I was shopping for!

Married

Married. What else do you want to know?

Missing my long hair...

Still Married

Still married and LOVING IT!
