One Month!

We only have one more month on our house! I am so excited! Now that the dry wall is up I can picture how I want to decorate it better so I have been shopping around looking for home decor and paint! Here are a few pictures of what it looks like right now!


The living room

Our Bedroom

The walk in shower (This has been Mckell's little baby, if you notice
there are three heads, one on each wall and a rain head. It took the plumbers three
tries to get it the way Mckell wanted ha ha)


One Year!

We did it! We made it one whole year! We were married on August 22, 2008 and I didn't know that time could fly so fast! I have loved this year with Mckell and I can't wait to live the rest of my life with him. For our anniversary, we went down to St. George and just relaxed before we got the school year going again. I forgot my camera and I was so bummed but I did get a few pictures on my phone but I can't figure out how to put them on the computer. We started our day off with going to the St George temple which I have never been in before and it was beautiful! We then just relaxed and did a little shopping and visiting to a couple of my friends down there, then we went to dinner at this delicious place called The Painted Pony. The food there was so yummy!! We have crab cakes, french onion souped served in an actual onion, ahi tuna (Mckell's favorite dish) and shark!! It was all so good! This was one of my favorite things we did all weekend. Here are a few pictures from our wedding since I never posted them before!

PICTURES

So our summer has been so much fun and I am so sad to see it go! I haven't really updated a lot of pictures so now is the time to do so! Our month of June was spent of me having Beauty and the Beast Performances, then in July we went to Lake Powell and a few very fun rodeos and Mckell's Birthday, August we spent the time working on our new house, I also went to the Tetons with my UV Mentor group! This was also our first summer married so that was also a bonus! Here are a lot of pictures of what we have done this summer!

Lake Powell
Mckell Cliff jumping, one time he jumped in his man-kini... I didn't have my camera when he did this, so you can just use your imagination....

Wake surfing!

Such a beautiful sunset and boy!

Mckell's Birthday
The Birthday Cake

Mckell thought our wedding cake was so boring because it was all ivory, so for his birthday I made him a very colorful cake!

He was so excited for his new riding gear, he just had to put it on!

At the Rodeo
This was a sheep hearding monkey that was the funniest thing I have ever seen! If you look closely you can see he is wearing chaps, a hat, and a button up shirt!
The Tetons!
This was our day that we spent in town.

Harry Potter


The other week we went and saw the 6th movie with our friends Nate and Alison up in the Jordan IMAX theater. it was such an awesome movie! (If you haven't seen it, I highly recommend it.) Well McKell remembered that he had never read the 7th book because he was on his mission when it came out, so he was determined to go to Wal-Mart that night and buy it so he could read it. Keep in mind that it was after midnight and we were in Salt Lake. I was not very excited about this plan and I was so tired and just wanted to go home. After a long drive of trying to convinve to wait until tomorrow and we can just borrow it from our parents, he gave in. So the next day, he went to his parents and got the book and started to read. I felt really left out and decided I was going to read it as well, so I went to my parents and borrowed their copy and started the book again. For the next 2 weeks, we spent all our time reading the book, trying to beat each other to the end. We aren't very competitive :) We would spend hours of our time reading and trying to distract the other person so that we could read ahead of the other. The other day we both finished the book (Mckell likes to call it a tie but I really won) It was a great book and it was fun to talk to Mckell as he was discovering what was going on. If you have not read this series because you don't want to follow the trend you are really missing out on some great reading!!
