Our friends moved in next door and got an adorable puppy, Herschel!
We went to the Idaho Falls zoo and when we got to this section we were looking all over for the tortoise (thinking it was smaller), and then we finally realized the massive creature in the doorway!
Brian's favorite were the otters!
It rained the whole time, but it was so much fun. There are some pretty flippin' sweet animals in the world :)
We participated in an experiment for one of our friends, and looked ridiculous while doing it :)
I woke up to this from Brian, he had gone to work and left these on the couch :)
Then, he came home from work with flowers!
And he planned a date to go out to the dunes to build a fire and eat tinfoil dinners-- a recreation of one of our earliest and favorite dates :)
While our dinners cooked we watched the storm clouds come in...
and then we spilled our tinfoil dinners in the fire… and started getting rained on! So we went to Pizza Pie Cafe instead :)
Chocolate covered strawberries and the new Spiderman!
Longboarding adventures with this nut
Labor Day Picnic
Fall River!
A little cliff jumping :)
My "stellar" mohawk… haha
Best friends! It is such a blessing to both be in Rexburg at the same time. I'm soaking up every minute of it because in a few more years who knows where we'll be. One thing's for sure though, this dynamic duo will be friends to the end… hahaha. Love my Tayta.
We were also able to take another trip to Utah with Shaun to see Megan, Bart, Brexton, and Maci! It was so much fun! They always spoil us when we visit!
Maci is the spunkiest and sweetest little 2 year old, I sure love her!
Utah State campus!
Utah State game!
Brexton read a few books from kindergarten to me, he is the smartest little boy! The trip was too quick, but so glad we got to see them before school started back up again! They just had another little boy, Brian Collin, on Thursday and I cannot wait to meet him!
We also drove to my house for a day to see my family again. Fresh peaches from the peach tree beats just about everything else!
Not a very good angle, or quality of picture. But I love my baby sister!
Utah Mountains are the best mountains. I never appreciated them as much as I do now!
Evening bike rides :)
On our last Saturday of the break we decided we needed to do something awesome! So, we hiked Table Mountain- a 14 mile hike. It was challenging, but totally worth it. The most beautiful hike either of us had ever been on, and on such a beautiful, clear day!
Overlooking… Rexburg, I think…. :)
The sky was SO blue!
We made it! It was freezing at the top- so it was literally breathtaking ;)
Walks around Nature Park :)
Everything is going so great! We are still just eating up every bit of married life. We were talking the other day about how special it really is that we get to spend every day with our best friend-- especially knowing that we can be together for eternity. Today in sacrament meeting a member of our stake presidency spoke and counseled every couple to continue courting and dating. Brian leaned over and whispered, "We're still dating hot and heavy," which is true. It seems like almost every day we find a way to go on a date… whether it be making dinner a little fancier, or going on a picnic, or going on a bike ride, or even just watching a movie, Brian always makes me feel like the most important girl in the world. It's really just the little things. I am so grateful for him and his testimony and example. Life is every kind of wonderful!!
