The Utley Residence!

Wow it has been a long adventure! I can't believe it is finally finished. We move into our house this next weekend. We are so excited and can't wait to finally be moved in.

Almost done!

Well the house is coming along quite nicely. We have the tile done, cabinets in, walls painted, and doors hung! I can't believe how fast it has gone by. We should be moving into our new house in 2-3 weeks! We can't wait! Here are a few pictures of the outside. They should finish the rock on the outside sometime next week!

Pictures of our house!

Just thought i would post a couple pictures of our house! It is coming up really fast and we are getting more and more excited every time we see it!

Fun weekend together and golfing pictures!

For those of you who don't know, i have been living in Richfield for the summer. I am taking a Nail class at the tech. It has been pretty fun so far, but i will be happy when i am done with all the book work. Also a lot of people don't know that Mike is in Cedar taking classes and working full time while i am in Richfield. This has been very hard, but we get to enjoy the weekends together which makes it all worth while. This past weekend, Mike came to Richfield and he wanted to go golfing, so i told him i would walk beside him so we could be together. I had my camera with me and so i thought it would be fun. So here are a few pictures of Mike playing golf!









This last picture has a story to go along with it. Mike was over 100 yards away from the flag and he hit an amazing shot. It flew really high in the air and when it dropped it bounced twice on the green and went in the hole. We both couldn't believe it, we started laughing and mike got a par on the hole. It was a pretty amazing shot! So i took a picture of him taking the ball out of the hole to remember it!

Happy 23rd Birthday Mike!

Mike turned 23 on May 28th. He got a golf pass for his birthday because that is the only thing he wanted! ha......Also i just want him to know how much i love him and i hope he had a great day! Here are a few pictures of mike's cake and him blowing out the candles.









P.S. I am not very good at decorating, but the white blob in the middle is supposed to be a golf ball! ha ha!

Hotdogs and Smores!

It has been a couple of weekends ago, but we went outside of Cedar and had dinner and smores. We went with family and friends. It was a lot of fun and here are a few pictures of our fun night!

Congrats Mike and Happy 1 Year Anniversary!

May 2nd Mike graduated from SUU with his Bachelors degree in Business Finance. I am so proud of him. Also President Thomas S. Monsen spoke at the commencement for his graduation. It was amazing to be so close to the prophet. He is such an amazing man and he gave a very motivating speech. I was going to take pictures at the commencement, but they didn't allow bags. So i ended up leaving my camera in my bag. I was a little upset. But i did end up getting a few pictures of Mike's personal graduation with just the business department.


Mike getting his name announced!


Mike after he got his diploma!

Mike and I after his graduation! I am so proud of him. He is such a good example to me and this makes me want to keep going to further my education. I had my requirements to get my Associates this year, but i wanted to graduate when i get my Bachelors. So hopefully one more year and i will get my Bachelors and Mike will get his Masters and we can graduate together!


Mike ended up surprising me after his graduation with some flowers for our anniversary. Since our Anniversary was on Sunday we celebrated early. I gave Mike some golf cleats that he has wanted for quite some time! Overall we had a wonderful anniversary and thanks to everyone who remembered us! We love you all!


Me with my beautiful flowers!


A close up of them!

Thanks honey for the beautiful flowers and i am excited for many more years to come! I LOVE YOU!

Fun weekend with family!

This weekend, my family was able to all get together. We haven't all been together for about 10 months now. It was a lot of fun. All the nieces and nephews had a lot of fun playing together and the adults had fun catching up. We also went to an outdoor expo in the Sevier Valley Center. It was fun to look at the booths and the kids enjoyed the fishing pond and rock wall. Overall it was a wonderful weekend and i am so happy i got to spend it with family. I want them all to know that we love them so much and are so thankful for each of them! :) LOVE YOU!
