Our Valentine's Get Away

I'm so bad at blogging but I wanted to report about the super fun Valentine's weekend that we had...

We went to up to Eden and stayed in a condo with Jesse and Dave. We had so much fun. It was absolutely gorgeous up there with all the snow! We had such a relaxing and adventurous stay. On Saturday we went snowboarding at Powder Mountain, and let me tell you there was a ton of powder! Powder is Shane's favorite so we hit up some back trails, and unfortunately Shane had to wait for me twice for about 8 minutes each cause I was literally stuck and sinking :) [The smiley face because Shane was such a good sport about it.] We also saw "Valentine's Day" to kick of the weekend, and ended the weekend with "When in Rome." We ate some tasty food, and enjoyed a Valentine's Breakfast in a big white barn. What a great time hanging out at the condo and hot-tubbing. If only those scoundrels hadn't run off with Dave's North Face jacket, I think we could have had a perfect weekend.

Sports

I have learned a lot in the past 8ish months of being married... AM talk radio, pregame, postgame, highlights, ESPN, ESPN.com... and the list goes on. There is a whole world of sports talk that goes beyond the world of sports. Nine moths ago I had no idea. Ha ha I've learned that what I call the "fluff" is just as important as the actual game, or even more important. I like sports, I just can't really get into the sports talk world. As I have been to more sporting events and watched more on tv I think being a sports spectator is growing on me. Obviously actually being at the events are more entertaining and exciting, but I figured that the more I understand about the details and rules of the games, the more I will like them. Shane has taught me a lot... I ask questions all the time during a game. Hopefully it's not too annoying. We have attended some super exciting Jazz games this year too! So I have to say that sports are growing on me.

Happy Birthday Shane

My handsome husband turned 23...Yay! We're finally the same age again. The past two months when I was older seemed like a lifetime...ha ha. Anyways Happy Birthday Mr! I am so grateful for the wonderful husband and person that Shane is. He truly impresses me every day with his happy personality and energy. These past six months together have been so great! I love you so so much! Here are some pictures of a little birthday brownie party that we hosted. Thanks everyone for coming.

Our Very Merry 1st Christmas!

We had a fun Christmas this year. There were so many exciting and festive things going on. We were really bad at taking pictures though. The only day that we took some pictures was on Christmas day.

The Christmas parties started with the Rowley extended family party in Spanish Fork. We had a fun time celebrating with all the family, Santa, and especially Great Grandma Rowley.

A couple of days before Christmas we got together with the Shane's parents and all the siblings and spouses. We started the evening with a fabulous dinner at Chef's Table, then we did a little surprise caroling to some friends and Grandma Ruby. We went back to Rowley's for dessert and to exchange presents... A very fun and festive night together.

On Chrismas morning Shane and I slept in, then went to my mom's for some yummy Christmas breakfast. We visited Jesse and Dave and the little ones, then went to Grandma Worley's for lunch. It was a fun and relaxing day. Shane and I ended the day by going to see "Did You Hear About the Morgans?"

My Mom made aprons for all of the girls in her family and all of her employees. They are all so different and cute.

Santa brought Sam, Cole and Mom some fancy mountain bikes, and of course Sam was pulling some sweet tricks even with those massive tire. Our darling mom
Merry Christmas My Love

Halloween Fun

Kimberlee and Spencer hosted a murder mystery. They went all out too, with their house decorated as the island that we were on. I hadn't ever been to one before and we had so much fun. My favorite part were the funny costumes that everyone had. I was a pirate and Shane was a fighting Spaniard

Kathryne was the indian chief and Robert was Captain Jack

We also went to a Halloween party at Stefenee and Brent's. We ate a yummy dinner and had a pumpkin carving contest. Then we went and rode the Haunted Heber Creper... really cold, but really fun! Thanks guys!
