November & December Write Up

We had a pretty busy last couple of months!

Brock helped his cousin and brother open a new Jimmy Johns in 

Oklahoma for a whole month! and I had a birthday on November 16.

Brock was stil in Oklahoma for my birthday but he and his family made me feel so special!

I got a beautiful bouquet of flowers his mom and sister whitney brought to me 

along with the most thoughtful gifts and yummy cookies! 

then my family and friends took me to Vegas for dinner and shopping!

it was a great 20th birthday!

I also moved into my own apartment/condo and I love it!

it has been so fun to decorate and cook in my own space.

Brock was in Oklahoma for thanksgiving so he spent 

it with his brother and cousin and some of the employees families out there.

I spent it with my family at my aunts this year and we deep fried a turkey which was different haha!

Christmas eve we spend with Brock's family every year and this was our third one!

we have a yummy dinner, play games, have a white elephant gift exchange and listen to 

a message about christmas! I love these traditions and am so thankful to be apart of them.  For christmas gifts we did a drawing and shopped for one sibling I got whit and Brock got Tyler.

Brock got me the ray bans I have been wanting and I got him things for Hawaii since we are taking a trip with my family.

For New Years we spent it at the Arners house for a party 

with yummy dinner and watching the ball drop! that completes our 2013

what another great year with this handsome guy!

Jades Golden Birthday + weekend at Tyler and Whitney's

Whitney put together the cutest first golden birthday for baby Jade!
the decorations were so cute and thought out! I know jade will look
back at pictures and feel so special. We ate hot dogs and smore's and hung out with
Tyler's sweet family and Brock's family. Her real birthday isn't until November 1st but
it would be too chilly come November in Orem for an outside party.
She opened presents and ate her cake by the handful! Brock and I got her polka dot shoes
and a red bow headband to match.

The day before the party we went to Thanksgiving point where they had the
Cornbelly's corn maze and pumpkin patch it was so much fun!
We went through the haunted houses and played games.

Fall Y'all

Fall is off to a great start filled with pumpkins, chai tea lattes and family!

Brock and I went to his dads pickle ball tournament and froze our bums off

we ate soup and menchies ice cream! total contradiction but all in all it was yummy.

Whitney, Tyler and Baby Jade came down for Dillan's birthday

party before he headed off to OKC. 

They were only down for the night but we got to spend some time 

with Jade and see how much she has grown and changed in the small time 

we last seen her. She loved on her baby dolls and pulled her self up on 

the couch! she is too big!

Ps. We celebrated two years together on the 15th!

last year we celebrated in Arizona and this year at home.

We went to outback steakhouse for dinner and rented a red box

I love that boy and celebrating fall with him!

Sunday Morning

Yesterday morning Brock took me on a breakfast
date out to Kayenta at this awesome organic place called Xetava Gardens!
We both got organic chai lattes and bagel sandwiches.

I was surprised I had never heard of the place before!
it's like their own world out there I loved it so much.
the fact that it was raining and felt so good outside made it the perfect
morning with my love.

Lake Powell with the Glendenning's

I don't even know where to began with this amazing Labor Day weekend!
It was pure bliss. We got to Lake Powell the 29th and took the house boat
out of the slip where we cruised over to warm creek and set up the boat!

The weekend was filled with delicious meals, swimming, boating, surfing,
wake boarding, relaxing and best of all spending time with all of Brock's family!
I absolutely adore his family I feel so welcomed and loved anytime I am around them.

We loved getting to play with baby Jade, Linley and Price!
also playing cards and watching movies after dinner was the best.
This trip was definitely one for the memory book! Thanks Doug and Gretchen!

Carolina Beach

My last weekend in North Carolina we went to The Carolina Beach.

It was about two hours from our apartment. All the colors of the buildings were so pretty!

I felt like we were in California but on the other side of the country. 

The atlantic ocean water is so warm! I was surprised about that.

We played in the water most of the time and after we went to Mcalister's Deli for lunch!
