Black Friday Shopping with Leah & Jonny!

We went to Mod-Bod first and only had to sit outside for a few minutes before they let us in. We had fun sitting on our boys' laps and watching a TV show on Jonny's ipad. Then we got some sweet deals for swimming suits and workout clothes and cute tank tops.


After Mod Bod we headed over to Wal-Mart and it was a zoo!!!! We were a great team though. We went for the $5 movies and got right in with the crowd trying to get all the best movies. It definitely got a little vicious, but we had so much fun and got some good movies! This is Kurt and Jonny showing off all the movies we got.Like I said people got viscous!

Leah and I feeling a little scared of the mobs of people that wanted to get the sweet deals too! I was literally smashed into one of the big cases full of dvds and definitely understand that deals are deals, but people are more important...I think some people forget that. Altogether it was such a fun night!!!!

Margrethe & Jonah's Wedding Reception

My dear roommate from last year got married over Thanksgiving break and their reception was beautiful as were the bride and groom.

This was a really sweet idea! It was a table with pictures of both of their parents and grandparents on their wedding day. Definitely a beautiful display of eternal families.

And this is the beautiful cake!

Halloween and other fun times!

This year Kurt and I dressed up as Mardi Gras people. We bought masks in New Orleans, on our honeymoon and had fun dressing up. We had so much fun and definitely looked pretty crazy!

On the actual day of Halloween we had Katie and Shana over for dinner and for desert we celebrated with Butter Beer and an orange cake with brown frosting...our pumpkin cake.
This is my sweet and darling husband who always manages to make me laugh...this is him eating his orange; he will be such a good dad some day.

These were some delicious smoothies that we made. We love smoothies and get creative; these ones even included some pomegranate juice (which took a while), but they were so good!

We also have enjoyed making banana and chocolate chip pancakes, which are also delicious and good motivation to get up and be productive on Saturday mornings.

And this is Kurt making those delicious pancakes. He's much better at making them big and fluffy and perfect.

This is at a basketball game with our dear friends Trevor and Jessie Slezak. We had a delicious chili dinner with them before the game and have doubled with them a lot. They are so much fun! We have quite a history with the Slezak's because my parents both knew Trevor's dad when they worked at the MTC and then Jessie's mom served in the same mission as my mom. Also, Trevor served in the same mission as Kurt; so a lot of connections.This is an example of how poor Kurt and I are sometimes. We had our light bulbs go out in the kitchen and didn't have time to go and get new light bulbs so we were very innovative and used a desk lamp to light our kitchen. If you look very closely you can see it clipped to one of the shelves in the background. Needless to say our wiring is not very good in our apartment so there is only one bulb that works in the kitchen, but we love it here. Life together makes everything else worth it; even having to clip a desk lamp to a shelf.

Christeen's Mission Farewell

My dear friend and roommate from freshman year just left in November to serve a mission in Indonesia. She gave an amazing farewell talk and it was so good to get to see her before she left. She is an amazing missionary and it's been so fun to keep up with her.
We had a fun reunion with many of our freshman friends including some of Kurt's roommates from our first year out here at BYU. It was a fun Sunday!
