Rest of Halloween/Thanksgiving

First we will finish off Halloween! We went to Mike and Bree Bory's house for a Halloween party. It was so much fun! It was fun to get to know them better, and to get all dressed up! We just kinda winged it. Tyler was obviously a vampire and i just put on everything that i could find. The end product- we decided- was RAMBO! ha ha Thanks for inviting us Mike and Bree!!!

Now Thanksgiving....

We went down to St. George to be with some of Tyler's family. We had a great Thanksgiving dinner... did some midnight shopping (pre black friday sales), and had a good time being with family and friends. They had a "thankful tree" hung up, and everybody had to write on a leaf something that they were thankful for and hang it on the tree. I wrote mine first and waited to see what Tyler would put. It was so cute! He put me and i put him! I really am thankful every day for Tyler. I'm so glad i get to be with him forever! We are also thankful for everything we have. We have been so blessed this last year and a half since we have been married. We have great families, great friends, great church callings, and great opportunities.

On Friday we went on a fun bike ride (because it was mostly down hill :)) j/k. Then we went to the movie "Old Dogs" with everyone. It was such a funny movie. Definitely a cute family film for those of you that haven't been to see it yet! We went to Iggy's Sports Grill that night for dinner and had some awesome food! Tyler ate so much! ha ha Everyone was amazed!

The next day was the BYU vs. Utah rival game. So we woke up and made breakfast for everyone. All weekend long i was teasing Tyler's hard care Utah loving uncle about how BYU was going to kill them. So we but blue coloring in the waffles. Right when we were about to do it to the eggs too, his uncle stopped me and made us to the eggs red. It was a fun breakfast! (and luckily BYU did win... which reminds me... i need to call uncle Scott to rub it in ha ha)

October Fun!

We have had quite a fun October so far! Busy but fun!

First off, i got called to be the 2nd councilor for the young womens! It has been such a blast. The girls are so cute and the leaders are so fun. It's been different for me though because there is only a few active girls, and i came from a ward with a crazy number of active girls. So it's been an adjustment but a good one! We had a pumpkin carving contest! This was my favorite one~!

Next my best friend Danielle Taylor (who plays volleyball for Utah State) had a game at UVU. Since we have moved up to Salt Lake, i was close enough to run down. Tyler didn't get to come because he also got a church calling... 2nd Councilor of the Elders Quorem. So while he had a meeting I ran down to her game. I picked up my brother Riley who goes to UVU and we had fun watching the game! It was a really close intense one and Utah State ended up winning!

That weekend we went down to Richfield and went to the pumpkin patch with a bunch of family. A tractor pulled you on a huge trailer into the patch and you picked your pumpkins and set them on the trailer. When everyone was done it took you back! It was my first pumpkin patch experience ever! It was fun to see everyone... even though it's a shame that they all live in Salt Lake and we have to go all the way down to Richfield to ever see them! ha ha That was the joke of the weekend. The kids had a blast and it was good to be back in Richfield for the weekend. We also saw some friends and ate good food!

Here is a story....

Once upon a time when me and Tyler were engaged, we went to Elsinore to a friend's grandpa's house. He had a thing they liked to call "the pentawhirl". Two people sat in in and your friend could spin you upside down. Me and Tyler volunteered to go first and after about 10 seconds of spinning, Tyler started telling them to stop. As soon as he could get unbuckled he ran to the bushes and started to throw up like crazy. We all though he just got sick from spinning and would be better after a min. I kept spinning with other people and about an hour later we decided to go back home. Tyler was still throwing up about every 5 mins. He asked if i could drive home. We had to go the back way home, and we drove 5 miles an hour. We stopped about 10 times so he could throw up on the side of the road. What is usually a 15-20 min drive was an hour and a half drive. Even then he was violently throwing up. So finally he asked his dad for a blessing because he couldn't do anything except puke and lay down. He slept in the bathroom that night! I was so worried about him!

So... Ta da! This is the very pentawhirl!

It turns out that the pumpkin patch we went to was our friends grandpa's house and they were letting people spin each other in the pentawhirl. Tyler's cousins wanted to do it so i did it with them, but Tyler steered clear. Ha ha funny memories!

It was also Tyler's mom's birthday! HAPPY BIRTHDAY DONNA! We got her a cute Miche bag (the ones that you can change the outside covers). Hope you had a great birthday and we love you!

Catch up time!

Ok so i have kinda slacked the last month in posts. This is what has happened.

Tyler's great Grandma Daisy Mackay passed away. We were one of the last people to see her alive, and we were really suprised when she passed away a few hours later. She seemed to be doing really well, and was so excited to see us. The funeral went well. I sang a song that Tyler's sister Maddi had. It was such a pretty song! Thanks Maddi for letting us use at, and we wish that you and Josh could have come. It really got me thinking about how life can take you by suprise. You can never be totally ready!

We went to Tyler's mission reunion. I heard the funniest stories about him! If you want to hear his most embarrassing one, you will have to ask him because i don't think he would want me to post it! But it involves a place called Hillbilly Hotdogs! :) It was really neat to see all his old companions and friends. Now i can put face with his stories. It was a lot of fun!

Genereal Conference was good! We went back to Richfield for the first time since we moved up to Salt Lake! It was good to be back and see our friends and family. We had a lot of good food too! If anyone wants a really good chip dip recipe let me know! I finally got the Beagley family recipe for shrimp potatoe chip dip!

Tyler has been working his rear end off with school! He has been so busy, but he is handling it well! Hopefully he gets through this semester ok! I know he will do great!

I have just been very busy with work and loving every moment of it!!!

Oh and i almost forgot!!! We got a washer and dryer! The front loading kind and i'm so excited! I love them! It's funny how you start to get excited about things like that! Here is our new washer and dryer!

The Hairport

So ever since we have been married i have heard Tyler talking about his friend that works at a place called "The Hairport". It was always really funny to think of someone saying, " Ya i'm going to the Hairport to get my hair cut!" It has been the topic of many of Tyler and his friends jokes. The other day Tyler decided that he needed a hair cut and we decided to try and go the the famous Hairport where his friend Megan Thomas works, so that we could say we have actually been to the Hairport (it really is a real life place :)) So we went! Megan did a great job on Tyler's hair especially and our Hairport experience was a great one! :)

Tylers Birthday!!!

So I need to catch up on Tyler's birthday!!! He just turned 24!

We made a cake (funfetti cake) the night before his birthday and we stayed up until midnight and ate it right as soon as it was technically his "birthday". It was fun! Then the next morning before i went to work and he went to school he opened his presents! After we got home that night we met up with our friends Riley and Jaquel and went out to dinner with them at the Porkipine Grill- we hadn't ever eaten there and it was so good! After dinner we went up to Riley's grandparents cabin and the boys made a fire. We roasted marshmellows and sat around and talked for a while. Then we went inside the cabin and watch the movie "Obsessed". If you haven't seen it.... WATCH IT! It is one of the most freaky intense movies ever! Way good!

So just when Tyler thought the birthday fun was over... he was wrong! ha ha Little did he know that me and one of his best friends Traysen planned a surprise party! Tyler just thought that Traysen was coming up that next night to take us to dinner for his birthday. We went to a new place called SMASHBURGER. Way good! While we were gone eating, some of our friends and family hid out in our apartment. When we got done eating, me and Traysen did some amazing stalling until everyone got to the apartment before we headed back! We walked in and all the lights were off, but there was a big pile of everyone's shoes by the door. Tyler immediately thought that the little boys that come over to play nintendo with him sometimes had some how managed to break into our apartment. Right when he started to get mad, everyone jumped out and yelled SURPRISE!!! It was hilarious! It was fun because some of Tyler's friends came up that we hadn't seen since we moved.

We all ate cake and icecream and went down swimming to the pool. Tyler has a little cousin Jagger who's birthday wasn't that long ago but he turned one and never got to play in his cake, so we sang to him too! When they started putting his fingers in the cake so he would play in it, he started to gag! Then started to cry really hard! It was the funniest thing! i can't wait for him to watch that video of himself when he grows up!

Love you Tyler!!! I'm sure being 24 will be just as fun as being 23! ha ha

One Year Mark!

Can you believe it! Yesterday was our one year anniversary! I can't believe it has been a whole year! It seems like just yesterday that we were anxiously awaiting to go through the temple to be sealed for time and all eternity! I can honestly say that this last year has been the best year of my life! I have been so happy being married to Tyler and don't know what i would do or who i would be without him. We have had many good times and look forward to many more! Here are a couple pictures that can sum up the last year!

This is the day we got engaged!

A couple of our engagement pictures!

Coming out of the temple on our wedding day!

A couple wedding day pictures!

Bestest buds!

Us at the one year mark!

Thanks to all of our family and friends that have been there for us and supported us!

Our New Apartment in West Valley

It has been a busy last couple weeks! We got all moved, i started my new job, and we have had lots of visitors. Here are some pictures of our new apartment. These are dedicated to Maddi ha ha who has been waiting forever to see them!!!

Front Room

Kitchen

Dining Area

One end of our room, our walk in closet and master bath.

There is another bathroom too, i just forgot to take a picture!

The other end of our bedroom. We also have another bedroom, but it's mostly storage right now so if i put a picture of it up here then it would look like a pile of junk!

This is the view looking out our balcony! We have loved it so far! There is a pool and hot tub, and a 24hour gym at the clubhouse. The little neighborhood boys like to come over and play nintendo with Tyler. Ha ha they love him and they are so funny! Our new ward seems cool too.

We also have gotten to hang out with our friends Traysen Turner and Kenzie Calloway. We have had a lot of fun with them!
