Fishing

So recently I took up fly fishing with James. It is actually a lot of fun. Here is a proof that I caught a fish, it is about 12 inches. I want to go a lot, and even when I don't catch anything, it is still a lot of fun, and I love it. James and I go whenever we can, or Melinda and I go, bbq dinner. So...I guess I am turning into a man.

Easter!

Steven and I had some friends over to color eggs and watch General Conference. It was a fun day and no one fell asleep during conference. All the talks were awesome! I was amazed at how the time seemed to fly by with each speaker. I was especially excited for this conference. It was one of those times where you just realize how much you need the spirit and crave it. And conference is always the one place where I feel it's poured out in abundance. I especially realized this conference, the way the Lord wants a family to act and operate and the way the world wants us to operate. Satan is so clever. I realize that rather than directly saying that families are bad or whatever else, he fills the world with distractions and sins that ultimately degrade our family relationships. It's so important that we constantly place ourselves in situations where we can be reminded of the things that are important to the Lord, and therefore important to us.

Anyways, I hope that everyone was edified and those that missed conference refer to www.lds.org for a recap.

Oh a new post!

I've uploaded photos to keep you up on what we've been doing! Here are the links!

We spent a weekend in CA with my family. The first day however, we spent in Huntington Beach with the Grahams. It was Junie's birthday. I love her!!! Then we went to Newport Beach with my family and spent a day at Disneyland. Oh yeah-the entire reason we went down was for a John Mayer concert I bought tickets for way back in November (I love him). Here's the link:

And here are few (yes we have a million) of our wedding photos! My parents gave me a dream wedding and receptions (two)! Kudos especially to my Mom for being patient with me and making it perfect! Yes-mothers do know best!

Sunday BBQ!

I have something new to blog about!!

Steve and I had a BBQ up the Canyon. We've had beautiful weather and thought it would be fun! We had a good time with a few close friends.

Happy St. Patrick's Day!!

Everyone else updated their blog, so it made me want to!

I can't tell you how many times I've heard from Steve that I should just kiss him because he's Irish. And on the one day it counts to be Irish, he's not even here! Steve's spring break starts today, but he left on Monday for Houston. He's selling for a company we're working for this summer. He'll be back on Friday. I miss him. He really is a good husband, and is a hard worker. I feel bad. As I type this blog, he's out knocking doors and the alert on my phone just went off notifying me of Law & Order SVU @ 8 pm tonight. :(

I can't wait for him to get back. I just love Steve's ability to not make things complicated and to just have fun. His happy disposition is contagious.

Anyways-I'm wishing everyone a Happy St. Patrick's Day! I'm looking forward to April Fools, when we get calls from the Menlove children. Hope you all have a good day!!

UPDATE

Hi. I don't even know if anyone reads this.

Steve and I spent the weekend in Texas with my parents and little sister Emily (she's taller than me by the way. not to mention-a whole lot richer). Anyways, we had a great time! We hit up a few of our favorite restaurants and hung out with the family. My two favorite things! We were actually flown out to the ranch to pick up our new puppy from Emily. He's an australian shepherd and his name is "Cracker (like graham cracker)." He's a really mellow dog. Steve likes playing games like "tag" with the dog, and jump-around-while-the-dog-tries-to-play-bite-your-leg (my least favorite game).

Anyways, we had a great weekend and wish we could have stayed in Texas at the ranch longer. This is not a confession that I am a native Texan. I just like the ranch and my family.

School is good and we're so glad to have so many opportunities in life. I don't care what the haters say! I love BYU.

If anyone is looking to purchase a pure breed Australian Shepherd, also known as a fluffy, friendly puppy, then let me know! Some of the puppies are also breed to be show dogs. I can direct you to Green Valley Ranch Australian Shepherds, where you can buy one.

I miss my friends!!!

Can all the Grahams please update their blogs??? I'm having niece and nephew withdrawal! Please and thank you!
