Newlywed Life in Provo

Well, we live in Provo now. Weird? Yes! I must say, I miss Rexburg terribly. We both do. We love Rexburg so much. It's actually probably a good thing we left when we did, otherwise I would have been tempted to permanently locate there. So, Provo is no Rexburg, but it's cool! We're having fun here and we're surrounded by wonderful people, so we're enjoying ourselves! This is our life recently:
Who knew the Provo temple was so pretty! I had actually never been there, but the landscaping blew me away. It was beautiful! Michael and I were all dressed up to go to the temple, and then I realized that my temple recommend was at home with mama. So, we went anyway and took some pictures. Mom sent me the recommend and we were able to go to the temple a couple of days later with Tiffany. What a huge blessing it was to have her with me and share that together since she couldn't be there for the wedding :)
We have FHE every Sunday night and Michael gets out our Build-a-Bears and gives them his chinese scriptures. hahahahah!! It was really cute, he is so good about organizing FHE!
We do puzzles while we watch the BYU game. You may be thinking that this looks like an interesting puzzle choice, well, it was a gift from my dear friend Jenny May Leaderich thank you very much, and we had a great time putting it together :) The truth is, I gave up and Michael did most of the hard work! hehe!
BYU game #2, My turn to choose the puzzle :) HSM Baby!A HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGE blessing of living in Provo. Some of my BEST girlfriends in the world are here with me! These girls were all my roommates at BYUI and we love each other SO MUCH! Whenever I am bored, they come to the rescue! Tiffany, Brooke, me and Lauren. It really feels SO good to be reunited again!
C-man turned 25!! Woop woo!! Michael and I absolutely LOVE getting together with Tiffany and Collin. We are always so happy when we're with them! They have been our great friends for years now and we could NOT be happier to live just minutes from them!
Another game night at Tiffy and Collins :) We are all anxiously awaiting the arrival of baby Hilton! Isn't she the most adorable pregnant girl?!
And there's my man putting up my curtain rod! He has turned out to be very handy and he is willing to take under and project so far! It's really cute! And it's fun learning things together! Basically, we're having a great time and enjoy every minute together :)
p.s- I GOT THE JOB! I am an exercise specialist at Utah Physiatry and I start next week. wa hoo!!!!!!!!!! We are so so so blessed.

I'm a big believer in FHE. You just can't stay mad at your spouse when you're singing a hymn or hearing him pray. It just doesn't happen!

It will become your friend :) puzzles- I LOVE PUZZLES and mike always whines about them. You're so lucky Michael like puzzles! love you!

Wow, Michael set up FHE, he just keeps making points with me! I hope he will always do that and I think he will.

Shoot, I think I just threw away a part of your bear's outfit, seeing them made me realize what it was. Sorry!

I can't tell you how excited I am for you about the JOB!! Hope you love it.
