Memorial Day Weekend

Kelly and I went to his parents house in Star Valley, WY for our long weekend. Kelly's sister April, and her husband Billy were there as well. We invented a new game called paddle-wack-it. We moved all the furniture in the basement and put tape on the floor to make a court. We got a small handball and some big paddles and took turns hitting the ball against the wall. It was very similar to racketball. We played for hours and had a blast.
On Monday morning we went to Billy's house for a horse ride! Who would have ever thought that I would ride a horse?! It was a ton of fun but I have to say...I am quite sore today. The whole weekend was filled with fun and relaxation and was the perfect break from our busy school schedules.
Thats right...I rode a horse all by myself!!

Kelly, April and McKell went into the yard to play catch.

This is a demonstration of Paddle-wack-it! Kelly and Billy had some pretty intense matches.

The happy couple!

Picture Update

I am taking a photography class this semester and I decided to use Kelly as one of my subjects. He thinks he is completely unphotogenic but I LOVED this picture of him. He is just so freaking cute!!!! Don't you just want to sqeeze him?

Our Conversation-

Me- Hey babe smile, I want to take a picture of us.

Kelly-(sigh)...if I must.

Me- Thats not a smile, your chewing!

Kelly- No I am smiling.

Me- We're going to try that again!

Much Better! Thanks Kelly.

Kelly and I have the greatest friends ever. We met Andrew and Jessica while Andrew and Kelly worked together last summer. Our husbands took us out on a double date and Jess and I clicked right away. We always have so much fun together...Jess is hilarious. We feel blessed to have such awesome friends and will be sad to see them go in July when Andrew graduates.

Living the Life

2 weeks down and 12 to go till this semester is over. That's right Kelly and I just started a new semester and it has been crazy! For those who don't know, we go to BYU-Idaho and they have whats called a "track system" ... meaning all students go to school for 2, 14 week semesters, and there are 3 semesters to choose from (Fall, Winter, and Summer). They don't include spring because there is no such thing (its May and we're still enduring snow, hence the no spring thing!) Kelly and I are both on the Summer/Fall track so we finish up this semester in July and then we get a nice 7 week break and go back to school in September.

School is a really busy this semester. Kelly and I are both getting into our upper division classes and it has proven to be quite time consuming. Kelly's hardest class is Accounting 201, we know quite a few people who failed the class multiple times. He had his first test last week and he got an A! I am incredibly proud of him. It's no secret that he is not the biggest fan of school but he works so hard because he wants to be able to provide for our family.

Kelly is the best husband ever. He treats me with the utmost respect and honor. He is a worthy priesthood holder and is a spiritual strength to our family. He is a truly hard worker and I know he would do anything for me (and me for him!) I thank my Heavenly Father everyday to have a loving husband and I cherish every moment I get to spend with him. I love you Kelly!

This weekend we needed a break and we went on a double date with our best friends Andrew and Jess. We had dinner and then saw 21 (entertaining). While we were killing time before the movie started we went to Idaho Falls and bought candy and decided to take some pictures ... with our candy necklaces, of course!
