An eventful week

I've had a lot of fun events going on during the beginning of this week but then the weekend is just filled with lots of work... I think I'd rather have it be the other way around, then I have something to look forward to. Despite that though, these activities were all very fun!

Tuesday-- Wicked! I went down to Salt Lake with 10 other female relatives on my mom's side to see Wicked. We got our tickets all the way back in August because my mom knows someone who has connections, otherwise, they would have been almost impossible to get a hold of. We went out to eat at Cafe Trio and then headed to the Capitol Theater to watch the show. (It was a beautiful building!!) Even though the whole surprise effect of not knowing what would happen next was gone, it was just as good the second time; maybe because I knew all the songs and could get excited for my favorites. It was a great time and I loved being able to see and catch up with my wonderful aunts and cousins! Isn't it crazy that we all just happened to be wearing green and/or black?!.... Joke. It was planned. Fun times!

Wednesday-- A Temple Sealing On Wednesday morning, I was able to go to the endowment session of my aunt and uncle Tommy and Jessica and the sealing of them to their little girl Avery. It was so amazing and special to see a family get sealed together for eternity! I am so happy for them and I'm glad I was able to witness this incredible event.

Thursday-- A Wedding Shower Kathryn, one of my best friends since 5th grade, is getting married! She now lives in Provo but was in Logan on Thursday for a ward shower, so I figured since she was here anyway, that I would get a few of our other close friends together to do a mini friend shower at Hamilton's. It was great to see her and catch up with things and I'm so glad she has found such an awesome guy to spend her life with!

2 years...

Yesterday, Brody and I celebrated two years of marriage!! I can't believe how time has flown- I guess we've just been having too much fun together! Luckily, we both had the day off, so we were able to hang out together all day. Our day consisted of Crepes for breakfast, visiting the Great Salt Lake and Antelope Island (I bought Brody a book of the 501 must visit natural wonders in the world and this was one of them- sadly, it wasn't that cool since it was raining), mini-golf and bowling at the Salomon Center, dinner at Apple- bee's, visiting our cute little Nephew and watching Bolt. It was a great day and I just loved being able to be with Brody all day long!

A quick trip to Arizona

This last weekend Brody and I were able to go to Arizona to
look at some apartments. Our friends Nate and Kim were going down to pick up a car they just bought, so we went down with them. We left on Friday and came back Monday so it was a lot of driving in a short amount of time!! We took our Jetta so Nate and Kim could take home their new car so it was fun to have all 4 of us in a car. It was also nice to rotate between so many drivers and we had some great conversations. It took about 10 hours to get to Flagstaff where we stayed with Kim’s sister for the night. On Saturday we drove down to Phoenix/Glendale to hang out and look at our apartments. One of the ones we were thinking about ended up being pretty dumpy and we realized that 2 miles away from campus is a long way for Brod to ride his bike in the hot Arizona heat so we drove over to Thunderbird campus to look at some that were a little closer. Our second choice ended up being literally across the street from campus and much nicer! It is more expensive, but I think it'll be worth it. So I’m glad we were able to check things out before we move all our stuff down. I'm getting excited to move but when we drove back into the northern part of Utah, I realized I'm going to miss it here a lot!
