We had Peter's family over for dinner and it was so fun! I was excited to finally put all the leaves in our table. Becky and I did all the cooking and everything was so delish. After dinner Spencer and Lisa came over and we played games and hung out while all the cousins ran around, it was a loud night! I made the napkin holders and the mint boxes (left over from Alexa's wedding) which was a nice touch to the table. It was an all around success for hosting my first Thanksgiving! Who ever thought you could cook for such a long amount of time!

We bought a HOUSE! and update


It wasn't as dramatically romantic as this, but pretty darn close! We love our new home and all the wonderful things about being homeowners. A few things I have learned since moving in...
1. Try to avoid moving in the middle of a 16 upper division credits semester--This equals stress and skimping on homework.
2. If Peter and I ever build a house together, we might kill each other before its finished. Holy Cow that boy has opinions in where usually the wife takes control. i.e. DECORATING. We have totally opposing styles and tastes. It took us 3 weeks to find a dinning table and chairs that we both liked. I still love him.
3. Peter is actually good at fixing things. I had no idea because we never really had to fix things around our apartment and I always fix technical things with the computers.
4. It takes exactly 30 mins from my house to the Benson Building for church. Sundays I now feel like I am driving alot, especially on Break the Fast Sundays.
5. Don't go over 30mph on the road to our house. YOU WILL GET A TICKET.
6. I love being home, just because its all ours!
7. I absolutely LOVE my office! Can't wait to paint it.
8. We have an extra spare bedroom for any welcome guests!

Anyways we have been super busy and loving every minute of it, (even when we are disagreeing on barstools and curtains)

New things with us:
Our good friend Bret moved in with us while he prepares for a mission, both of us try to claim him as a little brother. Peter now has a live in buddy that will go play basketball and snowboard with him whenever he wants... I have a feeling I will be seeing him a little less this winter. And Lastly we head to California soon for my favorite sisters wedding!

My First Print Job/Summer Update


Exciting things have been happening this summer! 1. We have been house hunting like crazy around Utah, 2. we are now in a singles ward (no worries we are not divorced!) which keeps us super busy but I LOVE it! There are so many activities and lots of food,and new friends, I think I have gained five pounds over the last few months. 3. My baby sister moved in with us and is engaged! 4. Peter wants to announce that he bought a snowboard. 5. We went to St. George for a weekend to play with Derek and Krystal and learned to GROUT! which is awesome because I want to tile my own backsplash or something!! 6. I am almost done with school!!! 7. THE MOST IMPORTANT...

I got a new wide format epson printer which I absolutely love!!! It can print up to 13x19 so I can put multiple things on a page and cut them down. When you give a girl a printer you need too buy... a cutter which comes with a scoring blade and a perforating blade, (at this point I am in heaven!) When you buy a girl a printer you also need to buy a continuous ink system, so you don't have to be ripped off by epson ink cartridges! Those things cost an arm and a leg! When you buy a girl a printer you also have to buy lots of 12x18 thick and textured paper! So after the printer and all the fun accessories I can pretty much do anything! On the downside... I am totally running out of room in my bedroom since lex is now occupying my used-to-be office. Which in turn makes us more eager to find a house.

It has been a great summer, and unfortunately Labor Day marks the end of summer for me. I will miss you. I will miss the sun. I will miss my tan skin. I will miss not wearing a million layers. Goodbye summer.
