Christmas

Being our first Christmas as a married couple we decided to sleep over on a air mattress at my parents house on Christmas eve to avoid waking up early and driving over. I was extra excited this year because my little brother was getting a car and he had NO IDEA.  He was basically going into depression thinking it wasn't going to happen, and he was going to have to take the money out of his mission fund to pay for one.  Little did he know he was getting a Mercedes sports car nearly in perfect condition.  

Logan was also very surprised with his first gun my dad bout for him.

My favorite gift would have to be my juicer.  I have been LOVING it. 

We had a busy rest of the day with both of Logan's parents.  Zuzu got to meet Logan's brothers new puppy Sulley.  They loved each other!

First Christmas Card and Zu


First Christmas card.  I wasn't planning on doing one of these till we had kids, but considering we have this cute little puppy, and it is our first Christmas being married I decided why not. 

Zuzu has been so fun! I just love her so much.  This is her getting her teeth brushed, she loves it.

I had to take Zu to get shots this week.  It was a little traumatic, especially the nose spray that they do.  At least she was a good cuddler that day.

 Logan and I always joke that she is part bunny.  She does this little hop whenever she runs, and her ears are getting so big and floppy! It is the cutest thing!

Zu LOVES going for rides in the car.  She has turned into a great errand buddy.  

My Baby Zuzu

I have been DYING to get a little dog. I have always been a huge dog person.  Zoey, our family dog used to fill the dog hole in my heart... Then I got married, and moved out, and she has never forgiven me.  Now when I am at my parents house she basically will not even acknowledge I am there.  

Logan and I recently decided to move in to Logan dad's basement apartment to save more money, and get away from the creepy people that lived there. 

Sooo I could finally get my puppy!  Logan and I had talked about it a little bit, but not seriously.  Logan never had a dog growing up, and he just didn't understand the man's best friend thing.  

Well... Friday night I took a trip to Animal Ark with my brother so he could buy cockroaches for his bearded dragon.  First thing when we walked in I saw these 3 little white puppy's in  a giant fish tank like cage.  One of them ran up to me, looked me in the eyes, and put her little paw up to the glass.  I was sold. This puppy needs me! Without even thinking about it I grabbed a worker and before I new it I was signing off on a non-refundable pup. 

Logan got home, I explained what happened, and I think he really likes little Zu. 

He said it's like an unexpected pregnancy, he didn't wan it but now he is glad it happened ;)

HALLOWEEN

This year we had a little get together at Sammy's house.  We are at a weird age where we are too old to Trick or Treat, and us married people don't enjoy those UVU dance parties like we use to.. 

We just snacked, and talked and played mafia.  It was so fun though! I love all of my friends.

I was Stevie Nicks this year,  Logan showed up after work in MY booty shorts, and was a "sexy cowboy" :)"

Camping at the Lake House.

The Lake House, as we call it, is property down by Utah lake that Logan's dad keeps cows on.  I have always liked it down there.  It's not far from home, but at the same time makes you feel like you are. There is a hill there on the property that became our favorite spot to have fires over the summer.  We decided it would be perfect for a little camp out this weekend. 

Aaron Carter Concert.

Me, Mads, and Sammy decided to fulfill one of our childhood dreams and see Aaron Carter!

After sitting through 4 hours of PAINFUL openers Aaron came out! Apparently he is a rapper now, with scantily clad  little back up dancers, that he spanks, and probably gets freaky with after every show.  Lets just say 26 year old Aaron Carter is much different then the Aaron Carter I remember watching on Lizzy McGuire.  
He must have noticed everyone's pigtails, and t-shirts of little Aaron on them, because he warned us first thing that he had grown up, and had some new stuff he was going to play, BOO.
The highlights of the night was when Aaron sang Aarons Party and I Want Candy.    
During I Want Candy he called about 12 people on stage that new the lyrics to sing along.  Maddie got picked to go on stage! and she nailed the words when it was her turn.  We just have to remember if this would have happened 10 years ago life would have been made!  

6 Months

Monday night we celebrated  6 months of marriage!  I can not believe it has been this long, seems like just yesterday we were driving down to Vegas to tie the knot.

On our very first official date we went to the Sundance lift.  I had asked Logan to Sadies Junior year, and he didn't want our "first date" to be one I was technically taking him on.  So after a high school football game sometime in August, me and him headed up there for our very first date.  It has kinda been a tradition ever since.

Well now we have March 8th so sadly it is time to forgo the August anniversary.. :(
At least you get to celebrate a 6 monther during your first year of marriage right?

We played hookie from work half the day, and hung out at home, talked about life, and how maybe I want to go back to school.
Then we went out to Pizzeria 712 for dinner, and Logan gave me a Polar watch that I have been dying for.
