Crusin'!

Dan and I have decided to go on a cruise! Woo hoo! We had been talking about doing something fun after I graduate in May and so we booked a cruise. Neither one of us have been on one before and we're really stoked! We're going May 10-18 and it's Mexican Rivieria Cruise to Mazatlan, Cabo San Lucas, and Puerto Vallarta. It leaves from Long Beach. The ship is brand new and it looks awesome! We can't wait and it will be such an awesome break to celebrate graduation and our anniversary. Any cruise tips or advice would also be appreciated. :)

V-Day

My husband is so funny and cute. For Valentines, while I was in the shower at my parent's house, he put all these treats and a card on the bed. I'm kind of obsessed with cherry hearts and they only sell them around Valentine's Day, so he got me enough to last awhile! This card is so hilarious. I laughed really hard and my parents loved it.

Dan also got me some beautiful red tulips but I didn't take a picture of those. He's the greatest husband in the world and my best friend! I'm so lucky to have him and he makes me so happy! I can't imagine my life without him. Mwah!

Baby Thad!

So my best friend Shelley had her baby! Thad was born on February 11 at 4:48pm. He's a doll and it's so weird for me to see Shelley with a baby! We have known each other forever and she is like my sister. I seriously feel like an aunt!!Me, Bre, Shell and Thad. Teresa (Bre's mom), Bre and I with the babe.

Random Stuff

I know I haven't posted forever, but no one reads this thing anyway :). Life is crazy busy but we are halfway through the semester! Woo hoo! Here are few random things from the past few weeks: This is a quail or woodpecker or some strange bird that was sleeping in my sister-in-laws porch. It was so weird and when we walked by it, it started flying and going crazy. It was stuck in their little porch area for about 5 minutes just flapping around. Then it finally figured out how to fly out and it flew into the night. Weird.

Has anyone ever heard of Carhartt brand? For some reason, my husband became obsessed with Cal-Ranch stores and he really wanted some of these pants. Kind of sick if you ask me. I'm not sure why he likes them so much, but he said he would never want anything ever again, so I gave in. They are pretty nasty, but he loves them. I just hope he doesn't wear them in public. People like this usually wear Carhartts. My husband loves it. The weird thing is he's not a cowboy or country boy at all! But I guess that's what living in Cache Valley does for you....Here he is demonstrating his beloved Carhartts.

And finally, Dan decided to have a banana split for dinner. Perfect.

Hardware Ranch

Saturday we drove up to Hardware Ranch to see the Elk Refuge and it was really neat! Dan really wanted to go and we went with Shelley and Brian. It's pretty far up Blacksmith Fork canyon, but it was only $5 and we got to go on a sleigh ride out into the middle of all the elk! We were only a few feet from them and it was cool to see the elk up close.

Here we are on the sleigh. It wasn't too cold, but it was raining a lot so we were bundled!

These were the horses pulling our sleigh. They were really big and strong.

Baby Shower

So my best friend Shelley is having a baby in a month and we threw a baby shower for her at my apartment last week. It was a blast and she got some great stuff! Here are some pics from the night.We had a veggie plate, pumpkin chocolate chip bread, and candy. This was the first time I really had more than a few people over to our apartment, and I loved it!So cute...me, Shell and Bre. I love these girls.

A bunch of cute stuff that Shell got from friends.

We played a game where we guessed how many toilet paper square would fit around her belly! Heidi won with 11. Shell is still really small and her belly isn't very big at all! I hope I look that good when I'm 8 months pregnant!

Snowshoeing!

Dan and I went snowshoeing on Saturday with some friends and we had a great time. Dan bought some snowshoes a few weeks ago and he has gone a few times. It is really fun and a great workout! The weather and the mountains were beautiful and we had a ton of fun. We hiked up a small mountain then sledded down the side of it!

Dan, Jake and Dave getting ready to go. Here are some gorgeous pictures I took along the way.

Yes! I made it to the top! It wasn't easy and I'm not in the best shape either...

The boys decided to build a snowman and it turned out really well. I think his name was Stanley?

It was so beautiful on top! We were above the inversion (you can see the smog on the right side of the picture).
