The New Place (kind of)

This year for football season, we got our all-sports passes with a group of friends. We all decided to tie-dye t-shirts for the games. Mine's on the left, and Jonny's is on the right!

I found the cutest cake pan. It's a giant cupcake! This was my first attempt at it. My future giant cupcakes will be decorated much better!

A few weeks ago, while the family was all here, us girls made recipe boxes. I am not exactly a crafty person, so this was a pretty big deal for me! Painting, mod-podge, stamps, the works...


Here are all of the divider cards. Then on the left is one of the MANY recipe cards I stamped.
Our new(ish) apartment! Ok, so we moved in almost 4 months ago, but I finally took pictures. When we got married housing was scarce so we grabbed whatever we could find, which was a basement apartment in southwest Provo. It was too far from campus to walk, and not to mention pretty old and gross.
So after looking on craigslist for weeks, I found the perfect place! It's clean, cheap, and close to campus!

Jonny just bought me barstools, and I love them! I also love all of the counter space we now have. We had just enough at our old place for our microwave and dish dryer. Yikes! But now I have a place to cook and a dish washer to clean my dishes for me :)
We also now have counter space around the bathroom sink. And a shower with room to move without hitting your elbows :)

Family/Powell

A few weeks ago my siblings came out to Utah and it was a blast! My dad took us all fishing...

So, I'm not exactly the best fisherman. BUT, in addition to the large log I reeled in, I caught a fish! I was the only one who caught anything! But I can't really brag, because it was about 2 inches long. And, I almost fell in reeling it in.. and, I flung the pole around so much I got the fish caught in a tree.. and, I screamed the whole time. oops :) Luckily my wonderful husband came to the rescue!

My beautiful sister and her adorable baby boy Jackson!

Here's my little niece Maddy. Is she not the cutest thing you've EVER seen?
One of our friends has a boat, so we planned a trip to Lake Powell this summer. Although I'm not a big fan of water and it makes me pretty nervous, I had a ton of fun. It's so beautiful there!
The boat was slightly crowded with all 5 couples, so we set up a tent. Here's the boys carrying up the huge mattress. It was pretty fun to watch them jam it into the little tent!I love my silly husband :)
