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.

8 Months. Woot Woot

Drew and I have made it 8 whole months! haha. I love him so so much! He is awesome and always so loving towards me. Marrying him was the best decision I ever made! But, before I make you all throw up from the mushy gushy love talk, here is a picture of us two! My mom was incredible and took us out to take a few snapshots for our house! Thanks momma! You da best! ;]

I hope they call me on a mission...

... When I have grown a foot or two...

I am still waiting to go on a mission, but the whole growing part, isn't really happening :]

BUT

My little brother, Dillon was called to serve a mission in the Baltic Mission, speaking Lithuanian!!! He will serve the countries Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania! I am so proud of the man he is becoming and for the sweet spirit he has always carried with him. He has always been an incredible example to me and have looked up to him in more ways than one. We are all so proud of his decision to sacrifice two years of his life to serve our Savior, Jesus Christ, and share with the people in the Baltic the gospel that has blessed my life in so many ways! Dillon will report to the Provo, Missionary Training Center on the 24th of August! I LOVE you Dillon!! 

Our Honeymoon to Cancun!!

Tonight for Family Home Evening, we decided to FINALLY develop our honeymoon pictures... 7 months later.. :] anywho, we were so lucky! Drew's parents spoiled us rotten with an all inclusive honeymoon package! We had spa days, a romantic dinner, fresh flowers every day, well.. and wine.. but it didn't get much use, and so much more! Well, to explain the pictures... Drew and I both forgot our cameras! YES! LAME! We were so bumbed out. and then, we didn't even go buy a disposable camera until the second to last day! We are the biggest MOMOs! I am a little sad we don't have more pictures, but love the few we have! 

Oh the beaches in Cancun! When you walked out of our room, you walked right out onto beach front! Talk about AWESOME! 

gotta love the water spot. I started to edit it out, but the quality of disposable cameras isn't to great... so, the water spot stays!

Ohh... sooooooooooooooo in love!! 

haha, boy do I love him! :]

walking up to our romantic dinner! At the very end of the pier was a table for two (with lots of wine and champagne.. haha which the waiters thought we were crazy when we denied it) with 2 personal waiters and a four course meal. It was so romantic because they scheduled the dinner right before sunset, so we were able to sit and watch the sunset as we ate! 

all dressed up for the romantic dinner!

... so handsome!

The two of us!! Still totally on cloud 9!

us again...

 Our view!

All you can eat free food!! :]

We got to swim with dolphins while we were there too! TALK ABOUT COOL! We have printed pictures of us and the dolphins, but nothing digital.. I will have to get on that! 

We also got henna tattoos.. woot woot! they were pretty cool, except I wore flip flops to class after we got back and got some interesting looks and comments at BYU.... whoops. haha

my macho man showing off his muscles :]

 Yesterday was our 7 month anniversary! Wow, time really does fly! We have had so much fun the past 7 months and have learned even more about each other. FHE tonight took us back to the days when we had zero responsibility and still had that lovey dovey dazed look in our eyes. It was a definite reminder of how in love we truly are! and I will always be grateful for the love we share! (cheesy I know :]) 

A Wonderful 21st Birthday!

I had the most wonderful 21st birthday this weekend. Drew planned a weekend trip to Colorado, so I could spend time with my family! I was more than excited. We drove out Thursday, spent Thursday and Friday with Drew's family and friends and then drove down to Colorado Springs, Saturday through Monday. Friday, we spent the day at Drew's little brother's track meet and then met his best friend Taylor for a night at Elitches. It had to of been at least 6 years since the last time I had been and was a night full of laughter. 

Then, it was time for Saturday!!! When we got to the springs, my brothers and Drew went to the movies, and my mom and I went shopping (strange I know!) but it was so much fun! We call it "bonding." hehe. anywho, my parents spoiled me rotten!! My mom bought me a whole new outfit and my dad bought me lightroom. (something I have wanted FOREVER) so, be expecting lots of photography projects from here on out! We also went to Texas Roadhouse for my birthday dinner and watched movies all night. It was so fun!

Sunday was my actual birthday! Church was wonderful as always and then we had Chuck (pretty much my other dad) over for dinner. Here are some pictures of us at dinner...

I sure do love him ;]

...more than words could ever explain...

my best friend...and the best mom ever!

My brothers are so awesome! and my husband!! Dillon and I were wondering through hobby lobby and saw all the cake decorating stuff, and decided we were going to make each other super sweet birthday cakes this year! Dillon decided to make me butterfly cupcakes! Tanner and Spencer wanted to help and so Drew had another bonding experience with my brothers while shopping and making my birthday cakes. 

WAHOO! I am finally 21 :]

(blowing out the candles)

A closer look at the awesome cupcakes! I really was spoiled!

I had such a wonderful time with both families and was sad to leave. (I even convinced Drew to let me stay with my mom half of Monday) It was a perfect birthday and I could not have asked for anything better!
