Cutest pumpkin award

Chance and I carved our pumpkin last night and probably had way too much fun doing it. I wanted to do a winking pumpkin in honor of a really cute wink that Chance does and I think we captured it perfectly! What do you think?

I was laughing so hard taking this picture. I just love Chance so much, we are best friends and have so much fun together no matter what we are doing.

Cutest pumpkin award... awarded by me.

Surprise Package

Chance was talking with his parents on Sunday and his mom was making her famous (and Chance's favorite) breaded steak and mashed potatoes and gravy. Chance and I both didn't have school on Monday and he was seriously considering leaving right then and driving up to Idaho Falls to eat dinner!

Well he talked himself out of it, but later that night we got a phone call from one of Chance's friends from Idaho Falls. DeLyn had found out that she was coming back to Provo Sunday night and gave her a cooler of tupperware full of leftovers from dinner to give to us!

Thanks DeLyn, you are amazing!!

Cinnamon Rolls

Cinnamon rolls are amazing and always remind me of our church's world wide General Conference every six months. My parents and Emma were able to come up to Utah for a week at the beginning of the month and it was so great to have them here. Nothing beats time with family. We made cinnamon rolls for Sunday morning conference and they were amazing as ever!

True Blue

 

The Hendricks family came for a fun visit this weekend and we were sad to see them leave today! It is always fun to have visitors. Saturday we had a true blue day. Brad and DeLyn and I hiked the Y early Saturday morning, which is always fun. It was their first time and I'm not sure if I'll be able to convince Brad to do it again, but oh well it was fun while it lasted! (Chance had a weekend course he had to go to on Saturday and Brandon didn't want to get his new Nikes dirty). Later that day we were able to go watch the BYU vs. Nevada game, it was sad to see them lose, but really fun to be there in the stadium. 

 

 

 

Chance is the biggest BYU fan I know and so he is the best person to go with. He can find the good in anything.

 

Cute brothers.

Thanks Brad and DeLyn for treating us so special this weekend and thanks Brandon for keeping us laughing! 

We are excited for the new week, the Brink fam comes in on Tuesday and we can't wait!

Happy birthday to me!

Chance and I decided to celebrate my 22nd birthday by going on a weekend camping trip to Zion National Park. Neither of us had been before and we absolutely loved it! So so beautiful!

We found a great little campsite and went on some amazing hikes! As soon as we set up our tent we headed off to hike Angel's Landing. The last half mile of the hike you are holding on to chains climbing some steep cliffs with drop offs like you wouldn't believe!

Starting the chains...

This is the last portion of the hike and at the tip top is the end, the view was quite spectacular up there.

We made it!

We finished off the day hiking to Emerald Pools, everything in the park is just so beautiful. 

Saturday morning we packed breakfast (thanks Meg and Mom for the AMAZING granola) and went to hike Hidden Canyon bright and early. We were the only ones on the trail!

Chance slipped off one of the edges here and was yelling for my help, but I had to grab the camera to take a quick photo of the view before I helped him up. Luckily he held on!

Alive and strong as ever!

Hidden Canyon had some chains too, but nothing as crazy as Angels Landing. It was so cool being the only ones on the mountain! We packed up Saturday and spent the rest of the weekend in Hurricane with Chance's cousin Brittany and her wonderful family. We hung out by the pool, ate some In-N-Out, and had fun with their cute kids. Thanks Brittany and Jeremy! Anyways we had a beautiful weekend and are excited for a new week.

The Year of Love

One year ago yesterday Chance and I were sealed together for time and all eternity. We seem to reminisce about that day quite often simply because it was perfect in every way. We have agreed that this past year has been the best yet and we are looking forward to many more!

MPH degree - Maid of Provo Homes

So we have an interesting neighbor in our new apartment complex. We have talked on many occassions and every time the neighbor asks for my name. This was no big deal at first because I am not the best with names either; however, the other day I realized it was not just my name he didn't remember.

I was leaving our apartment the other morning with cleaning supplies to go clean our old apartment before the cleaning check walk-through. My neighbor was leaving for work and he says hello to me (normal enough right? but no) then he asks me if I am the housekeeper for that apartment. Yes, he asked me if I was the maid for the ONE bedroom PROVO apartment I was walking out of. Not to mention he had seen me walk out of that apartment with Chance several times! I tried to stifle my laughter, but could barely contain myself. I guess if nothing works out with my MPH degree I could always go into house cleaning... I am pretty good at it.
