Half of a Year

Happy 6 months baby, I love you!

Addiction

Hi, our names our Chance and Erin and we are addicted to the Olympics.

• Once we turn the t.v. on we can't turn it off.
• Watching the Olympics at night is causing us to not study.
• We secretly want to be Shaun White and Lindsey Vonn.

I hope we don't go through withdrawals when it is over!

Weekend Love

Things I Loved About This Weekend

*I LOVED spending four great days with my husband. Our lives are so crazy and just being together for more then a couple of hours was such a treat.

*I loved getting a pedicure, thanks to part of my Christmas present from Chance. Pedicures are one of those amazing things in life like having someone wash your hair for you when getting a haircut- just wonderful.

*I loved the BYU Young Ambassadors concert we went to on Friday night. Soo amazing! I especially loved the songs from Wicked and Hairspray (although their Link did not do justice to Zac Efron).

*I loved going out to eat at CPK with my valentine and ordering my favorite Thai pizza. (Thank you Meggie for the gift card!)

*I loved having Megan and her friend over for Valentine's day dinner and for the yummy Grahm Canyon ice cream she brought us.

*I loved waking up on Monday morning and not having to get ready for school, yay for presidents!

Jazz vs Heat

For Christmas I gave Chance tickets to the Jazz/Heat game, it was so fun! Ok our seats weren't great, but we got to see D Wade in action, oh and the Jazz players too.

We also celebrated our friend Ben's birthday a little bit ago, his wife Allyson made THE most amazing/beautiful chocolate peanut butter cake! So I accidentally cut Ben and Chance out of the picture, but I got the cake in there!

I prefer play time over study time

Today is the Saturday after the first week of school and guess where we are. The library. Let's just say we both have tough semesters ahead of us (luckily this is the last of Chance's undergrad). We actually only have ourselves to blame because we hardly touched school work yesterday. Chance worked in the morning and then we went to the temple, which was lovely. I actually ran into two of my best friends from my childhood Spencer and Johnny, which was so fun! They both got home from their missions in Brazil about two weeks ago.

After that we met up with Ben & Allyson, Taylor & Carrie for Avatar- soOoO good! We loved it and would recommend it to anyone. We went over to Taylor and Carrie's house afterwards for dinner and games. The boys made us yummy french toast and then we were kind enough to beat them in Catch-phrase. Ok time to get back to work!

Steele and Ciera's Wedding!

It was so great to be a part of Steele and Ciera's wedding, they are a darling couple and I am so glad that they finally get to be together forever! They had a beautiful sealing ceremony in the Salt Lake Temple and then a luncheon and evening reception in the Joseph Smith Memorial Building. Chance, Taylor, Ben, and Steele have been roommates for several years and now are all married within one year of each other. They were all groomsmen in the wedding party and I have loved getting to know the boys and their wives better. We have all become good friends! Here are some pictures of the special day.

Waiting for the new couple

Yay for love!

The boys

Ciera looked so beautiful and Steele as handsome as ever

Lunch was yummy!

We were able to see the lights on our way to the car, everything looked beautiful!

Home for the Holidays

Chance and I had the BEST Christmas this past week home in Lodi. We enjoyed beautiful weather and were able to run in the mornings, go on bike rides, play tennis, and even play a round of golf. Spending time with family is so wonderful, we are so grateful for the support we have from our parents and siblings. We were able to meet our niece Lily for the first time and she is perfect. I loved holding her and listening to her baby noises. Jana and Joe are such cute parents, we wish they lived closer to us! It was hard for us to say goodbye, I can't even count how many times we said "I don't want to leave!" A big thanks to my family for the amazing week at home, we love you so much.

Jana, Joe, and Lily
