FALL HAPPENINGS..

We've had a pretty exciting fall/winter so far!
In October my aunt Jill got married! It was such a beautiful and fun wedding!

Feeling mischievous

We went to California this weekend for my aunts wedding! It was so much fun and so beautiful (i'll post pictures etc. once I get my camera charged) After we got back to my Grandma's from the reception we were all pretty beat. We talked in the family room for a bit..but eventually Trevor, Brandon and myself all feel asleep on the couches and chairs (Trevor on his stomach, on the ottoman). Jesse and Janelle were still up..when Jesse got the idea to draw with sharpie on Trevor's back. His "accomplice" Janelle agreed with him. I woke up and got a pretty good laugh from what Jesse had done. We wondered how long it would take him to realize he had writing on his back, since after all, it's on his back. The next morning Trevor woke up to pink marker all over the blanket, pillows, and the couch where he eventually ended up in the night. Needless to say Jesse felt really bad, and my mom did a lot of scrubbing!

He seriously never even flinched! He was out cold!

  Gotta love the hearts and butterflies..good touch Jess

More recipes!

I went to Costco the other day and bought a bunch of fruits and veggies and decided to make a menu for the week with my Costco items and whatever else we had lying around in the kitchen. Two nights ago I made this:

Tonight I made these... I've made them once before and used green peppers which I think I liked better. Plus they're always less expensive!!

They were both delicious! I'll keep you all updated on the next meals I make!

P.S. Is it just me or is this becoming a food blog?

P.S.S. Did I trick you into thinking I took these pictures myself..Yep, mine definitely look just like these!

Yum!

I made these two nights ago, they were delicious! And i'm not even a big fan of sloppy joes! They were also really easy to make too which is always a plus.

LOVE

Today at church our pastor spoke on love, and it was such a beautiful message. A verse we've all probably heard..... 1 Corinthians 13:4-13 "Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. ⁵ It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. ⁶ Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. ⁷ It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres." God is love. He is all of these things! Verse 13 says "There are three things that will endure-faith, hope, and love- but the greatest of these is love." I think that's so awesome. It's so inspiring to know that nothing we say, know, believe, give or accomplish means anything without love. Love has such a deeper meaning than we even realize! I'm very grateful for that message I heard today. I hope you all liked the tid bits of it I shared! :)

Guess whose birthday it is??

THIS GUY!! Isn't he cute? Happy birthday babe, I love you!

                             The pink ninja turtle shirt is my favorite for sure!
                                                                                             

The last three years..

Since it would be almost impossible to try to catch up on the last three years (while trying to keep up with current life) I decided to make a list of some important things that have happened and throw some pictures in while i'm at it!

Cruised in the Carribean, moved to St. George, Jesse started a new position with Westates, I got accepted into the radiology program, we bought a house, I ran a half marathon, I played a lot of basketball, we went to Hawaii, we sent off and welcomed Janelle and Kellen to and from Africa, Jayne and Tyler got married, we went to the zoo, had a few birthdays, and a few anniversaries...spent so much wonderful time with our family and friends (weddings, baby showers, bridal showers, retirement parties, hall of fame induction parties, births, etc..)

   

 

Our wedding!

Here is the one and only post from our "old blog" :)

 

Jesse and I got married on August 2nd, 2008. It was such a beautiful day! Everything went so perfectly, something I said over and over again for weeks! ( all that time planning..I had to keep reminding myself!) We had so much help from family and friends. We are so blessed to have such great people in our lives who love and care about us. It's now been almost 6 months. A few changes have occured since we got married...jesses bachelor pad has now been completely debachelorized. No more expired food in the fridge and piles of dirty laundry all over the kitchen floor. There is now toilet paper in the house and the trash now goes in the trash can, not on the kitchen counter. It's hard for him, but he's adjusting well. We've grown closer and closer over these months and I love jesse more than anything..i'm sure he feels the same :)

Blogging life...

When Jesse and I first got married I decided to start a blog. It hasn't been updated since....and now I can't figure out how to log on or make changes! So here is our new and improved blog!!
