I am 24 years old.

23 was a year full of changes.

I think 24 will be a little slower!

I had a wonderful birthday weekend...

Sleeping In

Breakfast in Bed

Got everything from Tys old house moved in

Bucca di Beppo Birthday Dinner

Sunday Birthday Party with my in-laws!

My sister-in-law made this amazing cake. It was just as good as it looks.

Thank you for everyone for making my Birthday so great. Especially you Tyler.

BBB and STF.

Tyler needed a study break and we needed to run to Bed Bath and Beyond {to get our KITCHEN AID!!!!}. Which is bomb.com and I love love love it. We narrowed the colors down to black, silver, or white. We both decided on silver. I can't wait to make cookies in it. Do you know what accessory I REALLY want?? The grater. My parents have it and it is awesome- it grates cheese, potatos, and more!!!

What happends to be close to BBB? Our very own Sweet Tooth Fairy! This being so close to us could be very dangerous. Do you know how much we LOVE sweets?! Lucky for us they had our favorite Summertime flavors available until the end of January- we LOVE Key Lime and Raspberry Lemonade.

Our apartment is coming along nicely... the kitchen is completely put together, and the living room is almost there. One more box to go!

Everything We Have Learned...

{In the first week of marriage}

• People love to honk at "Just Married" on the freeway and scare you half to death
• People love to ask how married life is-- you must answer carefully. It is best to stick to "great"and "we love it" {which are the obvious answers!!}
• You can only live on leftover wedding candy and cake for so long.
• LDS.org does not tell you if it is your Stake Conference that week and you will get all readyto find yourself in an empty building but you will meet the Stake President who looks like he is about 15. The Doogie Howser of Stake Presidents.
• Never ever underestimate the power of a gift receipt {for double gifts}
• Never pay for anything with cash unless you for sure keep the receipt.
• Unpacking is time consuming!!
• Bed Bath and Beyond sells a lot of "beyond".
• My cars gas consumption and my text messaging have gone way down.
• Being married is awesome. I get to be with my best friend 24/7. What more could a girl ask for?!

Yep. We Got Married.
