March Madness...

 Matt went to Canada last week to ski. He took the week off and convinced his friend Jordan to go along with him. They went to Fernie, Kicking Horse, and Revelstoke. They had tons of fun and didn't die! ha I was in fact invited, but turned down the invite for a few many reasons (not a good skiier, don't like being cold, it would cost lots more, etc.).

 While Matt was away I had fun too! I rode my bike to work everyday - thank you weather for being kind! I hung out with my friend Carlie - We made crepes one night then we went on a hike and out to dinner another. I went to Olive Garden with girls from work and then watched the 3 hour special of the Bacherlor Finale. I also painted, while I watched movies.  I painted 2 1/2 paintings while he was gone. It was awsome! I also played with Flash and did some cleaning. Oh and I walked a lot. I walked to the Temple and the Library one night. Anyhow, we both had good weeks, but I'm very glad he is back and safe. I missed him! 

The Paintings: This first painting is actually one I did last year for my Mom in Law. The rest are from this past week... I finished the 3rd one when he got home.


 This last one is kind of weird, not my favorite, but it was fun. I actually got part of the idea from the skirt I was wearing. So I would look down at my skirt then paint a bit and so forth.

New Years to Now

On New Year's Eve we hung out with our friends Jordan & Lindsay. Our night included Little Ceasars, Monopoloy card game, Human Planet, and Fire Works!!  I felt like Harry Potter bringing in the New Year with our Roman Candles (shhh..don't tell). Those things are AWESOME!! (No Pics)


I feel like the rest of January is just a blur. I did the 30 day Shred by Jillian Michaels. I felt like I was getting stronger, but that kind of died down as soon as February came. I guess the end of January is when our Car started to have troubles, which was lots of fun! We also had some snow adventures. I went snow shoeing with my friend Carlie and Matt went skiing with his brothers. I had a ton of fun snow shoeing. It was pretty hard since we decided to walk straight up the mountain, but it was worth it.



February mostly entails Valentine's Day and getting our New Car! This year for V-day we decided to go a little low key. Matt got me heart sugar cookies at his works bake sale. I gave him some candy and valentine's I made at my work. Then we decided to go to Callaways, which I guess made our night a little less low key, but at least we didn't spend lots of money on flowers.
Matt decided that he really wanted to get a Toyota 4Runner, and I liked the idea. :) He researched them and found them to be super dependable and they are great for adventuring too. So we started just looking on KSL a bunch and we found the one we wanted! I like it a lot! It looks super nice inside and out. They inside has fancy coverings on all the seats. The outside just looks nice especially for being a 1999. So I'm happy with it and still am a little giddy about having something new!
