Dexter is fascinated by the snow lately, he is very curious and hasn't ever seen anything like it before. It it so cute watching him try to attack the flakes that fall on the window.

Four Amazing Months!

Today Guy and I have been married for four months! It has been so much fun and I am looking forward to spending the rest of my months with him! We have had a lot of fun married 'firsts' together in these four months:

• our first cute little home
• our first move together
  
• our first baby (Dexter counts as our baby for now...)
• the first time i made a really awful dinner but Guy still ate it because he loves me!
• Our first Thanksgiving together
• Going to the temple as a married couple
• Our first time doing laundry together
• Our first time having a little fight and making up
• And we are just about to have our first Christmas together

Thanks for an amazing first four months of marriage Guy! I love you!!

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

I'm getting so excited for Christmas! When its Christmas I'll be done with finals and get a break and drink hot choclate and eat gingerbread and not have to write a single paper! Yay! We've been getting in the spirit and decorating our little home. We got a very fake tree and put it up and decorated and now all of our presents just sit under it and taunt us (I LOVE opening presents). If you notice in the picture that all of the ornaments are at least three feet off the ground- this is because of Dexter. Apparently Dex really likes Christmas ornaments and we would wake up in the morning to find them strewn ALL over the apartment, so we just moved them a little higher where he can't reach them- but he still tries.

In this one you can see the big bald spot on our tree where Dexer took off EVERYTHING!
(oh, and p.s. family if you are reading this- all of your presents are the blue ones!)

I made this cute little nativity at a relief society enrichment.

Dex caught in the act of strangling an ornament.
He sort of has that deer in the headlights look...

This is the demon kitty-we were sitting on the couch and he was creepily staring at us from around the tree.

And this is just a picture of our cute little baby!



and on a side note: here are some pics of some cute things we've done around the house that don't have anything to do with Christmas

These are up on the wall in my kitchen. I got them over Thanksgiving when my Mom took me to this great little home decor place and they turned out even cuter in my kitchen than I thought they were going to be!

R.I.P. Guy's Beard

The beard is gone.
His face is bald.
He came home from work one day and said he was bored with it and wanted to shave.
I miss it a little bit, but the bald face does have its benefits,like I don't get tickled every time he moves in to kiss me. And he is so handsome he looks good no matter what his facial hair looks like!

We did have some fun taking pictures while he was shaving it:

A Perfect Saturday!

Guy and I got to spend our whole Saturday with eachother and had such a blast! He had to go into work for a little bit in the morning so I went with him. I have been dying to go to Temple Square for FOREVER! Guy works up in Draper which is halfway to Salt Lake so we figured- why not? We took the train up into the city and spent the whole afternoon. It was Guy's first time since he was like 12! We went and saw the Joseph Smith movie, took a tour of the conference center(Guy had never seen it!), got lunch at the Lion house and just walked around. We had some much fun! After we were done, we hopped back on the train down to our car and headed back to Provo. Then we went and had a game night with some friends, and made some new friends. and then Guy took me to a movie! I have been trying to drag him to see Mama Mia! for a VERY long time (since we were engaged!) and it was at the dollar theatre by our house. It was so fun and Guy actually liked it!
It was so nice to just relax and have fun together! I love Guy so much!

Here are some pictures of our adventures:

Our New Apartment!

We didn't move but it feels like we got a whole new apartment. A few Saturdays back we spent the whole day just doing projects around the house. Our biggest one (and my favorite) is the huge curtain that now separates our living room from our bedroom! We actually have rooms now! We rearranged the furniture and decorations to help with the separation.

Here is our living/bedroom before- completely open and a little bit awkward when people come over...

Here is our bedroom AFTER! It actually feels a little private!

Here is our living room AFTER! You can actually be in here without having to stare into the bedroom!

This is what the whole space looks like now- two separate spaces,

and how much did this little project cost?

• Two curtains from D.I. at $10 each
• wire/hardware from Lowe's under $5
• for a grand total of less than $25!
  

I Wanna Grow Old with YOU

For Halloween Guy and I dressed up as ourselves, 50 years into the future. It was so much fun. Guy just wore an old polyester suit he got from my grandpa and I went D.I. shopping. We sprayed our hair white and I got out all of my stage makeup to age our faces. If you want to see all the pictures of our festivities you can check out my facebook album by clicking HERE.

Why I love Craigslist...

We got this awesome coffee table and a way cute side table for $5. I love getting a good deal! Now i just have to decide what color to paint/stain it...

Spaghetti with Eyeballs

We had some friends over for dinner last week and it happened to be on the day before Halloween- we decided to have some fun with it. We made spaghetti with eyeballs (meatballs with an olive in them) with bones on the side (breadsticks). It was so much fun making and eating our creepy dinner!

It's the Great Pumpkin!

Guy and I have been getting in the Halloween spirit! We found the HUGEST pumpkins we could (both of them about 30 pounds!) and on friday night we went jack-o-lantern crazy! We spread newspaper all over our hard wood floors and grabbed all the knifes and spoons from the kitchen.It was so much fun, it took us the entire evening to carve our giant pumpkins.

Guy looks a little scary with that big knife. I don't think I'd like to be that pumpkin...

It was SOOOO slimy-in case you couldn't tell by my face
(and notice Dexter trying to help! he's just too stinking cute!)

PUMPKIN GUTS!!!
which we turned into delicious baked pumkin seeds that disappeared by the next day.

can you see the resemblence between us and our pumpkins?

TA-DA!! the finished project!

Two Months!

Guy and I have been married for two months today! It has been the best two months. I LOVE being married to Guy! He is the best husband a girl could ask for, and he's MINE. I love him so much!
So, Happy Two Month Anniversary to us!

Conference Weekend: Missionaries, Cookies and Facials

We had such a fun and BUSY weekend! Starting on Thursday night there was constantly people coming and going from our apartment and tons of stuff to do. Guy's sisters came down for General Conference (which was AWESOME) so we got to see alot of them this weekend which was so fun.
Guy had his first mission reunion on Friday night which was a really cool experience for both of us. Guy got to see some of his old friends and I finally got to meet these people that I've heard so much about. We had a little devotional thing and an ice cream social.The reunion was here in Provo so there was a bunch of people traveling here and we had a few stay with us. I think Guy had a lot of fun hanging out with his old companions. We spent practically our whole Saturday with Nick (aka Elder Sponsel) he and Guy were together for a total of six months (!) on there mission,which means Nick has lived with Guy at least three times longer than I have- and they still like each other!

Former missionaries in the Arizona Tuscon Mission

On Sunday after the morning session one of my bestest friends, Angie, came over and we made delicious Wednesday cookies (her mom's choc chip cookie recipe that involves oatmeal and applesauce-I was addicted to these things in high school). It was so much fun getting to spend time with her and then when we were done we had a delicious treat to munch on during the afternoon session!

I LOVE THIS GIRL!!

This was our living room after conference, we still had the blow-up mattress from our guests staying there and Lezlie, Guy and Dexter were all taking a Sunday nap.

On Sunday night Lezlie and I decided to have some girly time, we did facials, pedicures and our nails. It was a blast. I don't think I get enough girly time- living with a boy and all....

Aren't we lovely?

We even roped Guy into the fun. Doesn't he look like he's enjoying it? (I hope he doesn't mind i put this pic on the internet...)

Update

I just realized how long its been since i've posted anything and figured i better put something up.
Hmmmm, what have we been doing?
I've just been going to school (and working my butt off). I'm really lovin' my classes and am learning a ton. I've got my first exams this week: Pschology and New Testament. Guy has been helping with my flashcards so I can survive my Psychology test. Oh, and I got all my hair chopped off!
Guy has been working really hard at his job with Clear Protectors (if you want to see what he does you should check out their website here )He does the designs for all the cool new gadgets that come out. We had a company dinner which was really fun, I finally got to meet all the people he works with and put a face to a name. Guy is also on our ward's Co-ed volleyball team.
Dexter has been growing like crazy. We call him our little ninja because he is all over the apartment climbing and jumping off of stuff. It is SO funny.
Here are a few pics of the last couple weeks:
