Pioneer day Celebrations

This year, Drew and I renamed Pioneer day as "Megan Day" haha. I really wanted a certain purse, so I told Drew that it was officially "Megan's Day" just so he would buy it for me! Little did we know it would end up me buying lots of new toys! and oddly enough.. no purse.. 

I am experimenting with new hairstyles, so this morning I began trying to learn how to do some cute quick hairstyles. This was today's creation.. (it is a little messy and my head looks like a square.. but you can thank my dog for that doing...) I twisted the hair around the side and into a messy bun.



Not only did I end up getting a lot of new toys, Drew was AWESOME and let me decide what we did all day long! Since I am trying to relive my childhood, I insisted we start the day off by going to the Fiesta Days Parade! We woke up at 7am, got ready and headed out to the parade! I was soooo disappointed! Seriously, what happened to being creative and making your own floats... everyone just rode inside of a boat. Super lame. But Daisy sure enjoyed every minute of playing with the couple behind us and chasing the kids next to us.



Next, I needed a nap (I am NOT the morning bird) So, I took a nap while Drew worked on his Physics homework.. I swear that class is taking over his life.. and our marriage! I can not wait for this semester to be over! After our naps and homework, we got ready again and headed out to the mall for some lunch. On our way out we stopped by the AT&T store to see when I was eligible for an upgrade because I hate my phone! Turns out I was eligible for one today! So, we talked the guy into giving us a $100 phone for 50 BUCKS, waive the upgrade fee, and change my unlimited plan to a cheaper unlimited plan. My husband is quite the sweet talker!

After that, we headed out to Spanish Fork again to walk around the craft fair and carnival. It was so much fun! Drew bought me new sunglasses, earrings, a scentsy candle warmer, and a glitter tattoo on my foot! 

We also came home to some delicious brownies our neighbors had dropped by!



Then we went to the Rodeo! Boy do I love rodeos! We shopped around the vendor tents there too and ended up buying a lime green roping rope! Drew was so excited and practiced the entire walk back to our car! When we got to the rodeo, a HUGE storm came in and it honestly felt like we were in a tornado! After all the wind left, it poured rain throughout the entire rodeo! It was still so much fun though.. luckily we got a picture before the huge storm came in!


Introducing the cutest puppy ever....

Drew called me on his way home from work one night and said, Lets get a dog. I want one. Start looking. I just laughed and said ok! I narrowed it down to two-three puppies and let him pick (well I put in my opinion which may have swayed the decision process a little...) but, we decided to buy a Yorkie/Doxin mix. We found a family in Ogden that had just had a litter of puppies, so the following morning we called the guy up and headed up to Ogden. We got pretty lucky 1. she technically was already sold, but then something happened where they couldn't pay for her anymore 2. we talked him down in price a little 3. we got the cutest puppy ever... that everyone loves to death (they don't have to be with her during her crazy hours though)

Here she is the day we picked her up..

Her latest hobby... she is so incredibly naughty! 

Just a cute picture of her... she never leaves our side, as you can see with my foot in the picture.

She is so crazy, snuggly, and thinks she is human. She will only eat people food (we have to force her to eat her puppy food) and does not like the toys we buy for her... instead she has claimed Drew's yoyo, any and all shoe laces, straws, and of course paper... We absolutely love her to death though. Drew is way more attached than I am... but she is sure growing on me...

Rodeo equals Summer Love

Boy do I LLLLOOOOVE rodeos! Unfortunately, Drew and I work and study our lives away, so there is not much room for free time or even date nights, but somehow we managed to sneak away from life and spend the night together at the Strawberry Days rodeo! Before we went to the rodeo, we needed to buy Drew a cowboy hat... which ended up me getting a brand new hat as well! We had so much fun and Drew even ran into an old mission buddy! Oh how small the world is when you live in Provo, Utah.
