The most amazing 2 years of my life







Wow, I can't believe we have been married for 2 years. We have had so many amazing experiences together. Both of us graduating, moving, getting jobs, and went on lots of vacations exploring random places together :) I'm married to the most amazing guy on the planet who spoils me everyday! Love you babe.

Christmas


Christmas was amazing this year. This would be the first Christmas since my Grandma has passed away, and everyone decided it would be great to all get together, because it was a big reality check that although families are forever, you will only live on earth together for so long. So this was an extra special christmas for us. We traveled up to Highland, Utah to stay at my aunts house. Christmas eve we partied with my parents, sister, niece, cousins, aunts and uncles. There was music, a roaring fireplace, mistletoe and the most homemade food you have ever seen!! Swedish bread is a big tradition in our family, because my ancestors are from Sweden. It tastes sooooo good! It was just like out of a storybook. I'm so greatful for my amazing husband and inlaws that were so patient and understanding that I needed to be with my family this year for the holidays. The snow was beautiful and it really was a white christmas! Can't wait until next year :) Toby(my aunts dog), jumps on your lap EVERYtime you sit down, so he decided to be in the picture too. His christmas sweater made him look more like a pudgy baby than a dog!

CSI: Las Vegas




For my Dad's 50th birthday we took him to the CSI experience at the MGM. You choose from 3 different crimes, go to the crime scene, take fingerprints, do an autopsy, check DNA samples and come to a conclusion of who commited the murder. We had a great time walking around in our CSI hats, with our clipboards, using the flashlights to investigate. But the best part is....we got it right! We solved the murder. :) Case closed.

Early Christmas







Anyone who knows me knows that I am obsessed with the holidays. Especially Christmas. Radlee heard on the radio that Santa was coming to town EXTRA EARLY this year, it's not even thanksgiving yet! Anyways, we grabbed some jackets and hot chocolate and headed over to town square to watch the parade and Santa arrive. We sang Christmas songs and did a countdown to light the 40 foot christmas tree. Right when it lit up fake snow started falling from the sky! (ok it was just pumped through some pipes hanging off the buildings, but if you were in the christmas spirit it felt real!) haha It was such a fun date night!

Red Rock Canyon




Radlee woke me up on Saturday and said, "Are you ready for a day of fun?! " and he was right. We decided that we were missing the beauty of Utah and were in desperate need for some fresh air and scenery. We had heard about Red Rock Canyon, in Las Vegas where there were some trails and wildlife. It's only about 10 minutes from our house and was just what we needed. We grabbed some taco bell and had a great picnic before our hike. It was actually REALLY cold! We got to see some beautiful changing leaves and everything. There are squirels and wild burros everywhere. I think we will make It a habit to go back as often as we can!

A Great Halloween


Radlee and I had a great Halloween this year. We went home to St. George and got to spend time with both of our families. We have really enjoyed only being 2 hours away instead of the 4 hour drive from Provo. Radlee was a good sport and dressed up with me, although his goal was to find the cheapest costume on the planet..so he went with the $1.00 little boy curious george mask that barely fit his face haha. It kept me laughing everytime I looked at him. The little kids who came up to the door all recognized who he was and LOVED it! I love you tooMonkey Face. :)
