Pay It Forward

Here's how it works:

The first five people to respond to this post will get something made by me. Made with lots of love just for you! I have no idea what it will be yet and I hope it doesn't take me too long to get it to you, but it could be really cool! We'll see.

The catch?

You must re-post this on YOUR blog and offer the same to the first 5 people who do the same on your blog. The first 5 people to do so and leave a comment telling me they did win something from me!

Miscellaneous

This will be a combination of pictures and such from a variety of events that have happened in the last 3 months, since that is how long ago our last post was! So here it goes!

The first 3 pictures are from Valentine's Day. In the first, we are at the Hale Theater in Salt Lake for a play that Josh got us tickets for. It was called Cash on Delivery and it was really funny! I found out later that Romeo and Juliet was playing somewhere else, but he didn't want see a romantic play (even though it WAS Valentine's Day). He wanted something to laugh at. I thought that was funny, and I was fine with it because the play really WAS funny.


This is what Josh got me for Valentine's Day. How cute is that?! My favorite chocolates in the shape of a heart around some nice pink flowers. I thought it was so cute.

This is what I got for Josh- candy, a homemade card, and a book. The book was one of those fill-in-yourself ones, so it was all personal and what not.
Later in the month of February, I threw one of my best friends, Brienne, a baby shower. It was my first ever shower that I put together. I had some help from her sis-in-law so that was good. It was at our apartment which I thought would be plenty big. However, there were tons of people there and it was crowded. It went well though and Brienne made out like a bandit with all the baby stuff she got. It was a fun shower. The picture is of all us former roommates (except one) from Liberty Square... good times. It was so nice to be all together again and chat and catch up. I love you girls!!! (From L to R it's Amy, Karianne, Grace, Jenna, and Brienne)


Finally, Josh and I have been able to go to quite a few BYU basketball games this season. We usually forget our camera, but we remembered at this one! This game was the BYU vs. Utah game- BIG RIVALRY! We had to stand in line outside the Mariott Center for awhile before the game started. When they finally let us in to sit down we had to wait another hour and a half for the game to start. It was packed in there. Luckily, we brought cards so we played the state game and scum to pass the time while we waited. BYU played hard and beat those stinkin' Utes! It was a good game.

This is us at the game with our good friends Jared and Jenni Skelton from our ward. They're great and we love hanging out with them!

Christmas

We spent Christmas break in sunny southern California with Josh's family. It was such a nice change compared to the freezing, snowy Utah. Josh and I slept in a lot, (napped too), read, and enjoyed being around all our family. It was so nice having all of Josh's siblings there. We also played games quite a bit. A nightly game of Killer Bunnies was common. One game of Killer Bunnies was particularly intense and lasted a couple hours or so. We had to have an intermission during it! Ticket to Ride was another favorite game to play. In addition to that, we went to movies (Twilight and Marley and Me), had some delicious Golden Spoon, shopped, played Wii, went to wedding receptions, and did a lot of hanging out and talking.

Josh's family opens their presents on Christmas Eve (now that all their kids are grown) because they are all in much better and happier moods (compared to being woken up early). Plus no one minds having their pictures taken since they are all already showered and dressed. I was quite opposed to this at first. I didn't think it would be Christmas-like without waking up early to open your presents. But, I admit, I did enjoy the nighttime present opening and being able to sleep in late on Christmas day. We got a ton of great presents such as the Twilight pajamas (we're wearing them in the picture above). Wendy (Josh's mom) got all of the kids Twilight pajamas. They were all different with the different sayings on the shirts but had similar flannel bottoms.

We also took some family pictures at Sears a few days after Christmas. They turned out really well and it didn't take as long as I thought it would with all 12 of us, including an 8-month old baby. Here are a few of them.
We had a wonderful 2-week break!!! The best was hanging out with family!
