Birthday Awesomeness! Hello 23!

Last year and this year my birthday fell on check-outs for BYU-Idaho housing. Haha. I told Kevin that this semester I always associated December 20th with check-outs and kept forgetting it was my birthday too. :) Even though it was a busy day of check-outs it was still an AMAZING day.

I wore my ugly sweater and red skinny jeans so I could feel extra festive! :) Kevin got me beautiful flowers and I got so many phone calls, texts, and Facebook happy birthday wishes. Kevin's family was in town for Katherine's graduation so it was fun getting to be with them. I had to work from Noon to 6 pm on my birthday but decided to put off a few check-out items that could wait till Monday so I could enjoy my birthday night.

My Fox family took me out to Texas Roadhouse that night to celebrate. I ordered steak and potatoes and stuffed myself with salad and rolls the whole night. I was STUFFED by the end. Of course if anyone has been to Texas Roadhouse they have probably witnessed the birthday yee-haw...yep my family made me climb up on the saddle and everyone yee-hawed! :) I was honestly dreading it but in the moment it was really fun :) I love my Fox family so much and was happy I got to spend the evening with them.

The Tuesday after my birthday I headed down to Blackfoot. Kevin came later that night and we had a delicious dinner and super yummy cake. My family always makes birthdays so much fun. We spent the evening visiting and having fun. I loved getting to spend time with my parents, siblings, and nieces and nephew.

Later that night Kevin and I went into Wal-Mart at like 1 am to pick up a couple things. We got to visit my dad as well so it was a lot of fun. Kevin wanted to get me a rose gold watch for my birthday but wanted me to pick it out so thats why we headed to Wal-Mart. I ended up finding a really pretty watch for a super good price.

I was definitely spoiled for by birthday this year!

It still feels weird to be 23. I don't know why but this birthday I really feel older. Haha. I kept telling Kevin "I'm gonna be 30 in 7 years! Holy smokes!" :) I'm pretty positive though that this next year will be even more awesome than 22 was. Here is to another year older (and maybe wiser) too! :)

Until Next Time...

Third Time's the Charm..Maybe...

Last week as I sat down to go through some emails I remembered this old blog and got sucked into reading through past posts. I smiled, cried and laughed as I read through my memories over the last 4 years. :) It was crazy to read through and think about how much has changed over the years and how much Kevin and I have experienced together in the 6 years we've been married. My last post was from March of last year after a visit to Iowa. I could kick myself for not keeping up with this blog because last year was packed full of some of the greatest and hardest experiences of my life. Highlights from over the past 18 months: -We had a graduation party in Idaho for Kevin April 2017 and he officially graduated the following July! It felt so good for him to finally be done. He worked SO HARD and overcame some major obstacles and set backs.  -After Kevin walked in April we did a big trip to Utah and Iowa with Shawnii after watching her graduate with her Masters in Communication Disor...

Mid-Week Happenings/Ramblings

This week has gone by sooo slow. I woke up this morning thinking it was Thursday. Rude. Anyways...Here's some random happenings/ramblings from the past week or so... Kevin is anti anything Christmas before Thanksgiving...I'm the complete opposite. We've compromised. I can listen to Christmas music but cant hang any decorations (my pinecone and snowflake garlands don't count) until the Monday before Thanksgiving. I can live with those stipulations.  We made a goal with our friend G to not eat out at all this week (we may or may not have an addiction to midnight runs to McDonalds). We've survived so far.  Last night we finally watched the movie, "The Fault in Our Stars". Holy hannah. Ugly face cry the whole time people. It was so sad but so worth it, minus the random f-bomb.  I attempted to make homemade french fries for dinner this week...oh deary...Lets just say I wont be using that particular recipe again...or attempting to make fries again a...

Sum of September

My goodness its already October! September was a fabulous, crazy, busy, wonderful month. First up a visit to Idaho... A ll my siblings surprised my parents the second weekend of Sept as an early birthday present for my mom's 60th birthday! We were missing Kevin and Arianna's husband and kids but the rest of us were able to go. My parents were so shocked and my mom cried and cried she was so happy to see us all. It was the best present we've ever given her. :)  It was a laid back weekend just spending time together. We went to a Gentri concert Saturday night,  church Sunday, my mom loves having people to sit with so we made sure to visit on a weekend so we could all sit with her, Danny and Melissa's family left Sunday after dinner, Monday we had a little day of shopping and relaxing at home, and then Tuesday Shawnii, Arianna and I all headed home.  GETTING TO DRIVE LARRY HOME FROM CHURCH!!!  The day after I got back from Idaho I st...
