Another Wonderful Weekend!

These first two pictures are from my anniversary. Dean just had them on his phone the last time I blogged so they didn't get put in.


Dean playing with his money.


This last weekend we had a wonderful time going down to Salt lake and attending Dean's cousin (Lauren and Scott's ) sealing at the Salt lake temple. Such a beautiful temple! Pictured below is Dean and I with Lauren. Isn't she pretty!


I have always wanted to get a picture with the Salt lake temple in the background. So this weekend I was able to accomplish this. It was a beautiful day as you could tell BLUE SKIES. I haven't seen those for awhile.


After the temple we went to the Pie Pizzaeria and it was really good! Then Dean and I were able to go visit my past roommate in Provo and her new baby Hazel! She was adorable! We had a great time catching up as roommates and then, Dean and I went to Krispy Kremes for a dessert. There were two places Dean and I said we had to go to on this trip. Krispy Kremes was one and the other was Seven 11 to get a SLURPEE. We stopped by both but the funny or I thought at the time Not so funny thing about the seven 11 was everyone we went to (three different ones total) was out of CHERRY! It is my favorite! It wasn't too funny I thought but I did have to laugh every time we stop and there wouldn't be Cherry Dean would smile and say sorry! One time he asked on a scale from one to ten how mad are you.?I said 8 hahaha. I was never really mad. Hey what can I say it is a great flavor!
So while we were in Utah my brother was staying at our apartment hanging out with friends. He was suppose to only stay till Sunday, but I convinced him to stay till today so we could hang out one last time before his mission. I was only able to see him for a few hours on Friday before we left to Utah but we made it quality time! (we went to Dairy Queen) Anyway so he stayed last night and we played games and laughed a lot. Love that kid. He will be a great missionary!

Exciting events in our life!

Well the adventures have started and I wanted to blog about them as they happen or I will have a lot to catch up on. First off Conference weekend we decided to go to Oregon and visit my family. Well currently everything there is flooding. It has been raining like crazy. Some of you may think well Duh! You are from Oregon, but I am from Eastern Oregon and it doesn't rain that much, it is like Boise Weather. So on Saturday we decided to take a drive up the the dam and see it flow over the Glory Hole (it doesn't do that very often just when the dam in full and they need to get water out of it so it doesn't flood)

This is a picture of Dean and I by the dam. bottom right you can see the jets.


This is a picture of the Owyhee Dam


This is the Glory Hole they have raised it to fill the Dam all the way up.


This is the wall of the Dam Pretty full! The other side of this wall is in the picture above some three hundred feet tall.


Looking down the Glory hole!


Again (Scary)


WELL... It is official Dean has Graduated! YAY!!! It is amazing to come home and just hangout and not have to hear Dean say sorry I can't I have homework!

Enjoy the pictures below.

Love this one! He is such a goof!




So Excited!


Isn't he cute! So Proud of him! (in a humble way)



Dean's family and I at his graduation in the Hart Building.


Dean got to graduate with one of his friends from High School Josh Gordan. So fun!


We were so grateful for the family members that were able to come and support and spend time with us! To the left is Dean's Aunt Olivia and Uncle Dean. They are the ones we will be staying with this summer. We really appreciate them!


Dean's Friend Brent was able to come and celebrate with us and we appreciate it.

Dean, his mom, and Sister


Dean was making a sad face because they don't give them their diplomas in case someone doesn't pass. So he will get it in the mail in about two months.


Graduation was Friday and Saturday April 8th and 9th. The 11th of April is our anniversary and so this fell on Monday! I don't work Mondays so Dean took the day off and we hung out. We went to Red Lobster and the movies! We weren't going to get each other anything because our trip to California was our present. However we were originally going to go to Cali this weekend but then my Brother got his mission call and if we went now we would have missed his farewell and we didn't want to do that so we moved the trip to May. So since money is low we still weren't going to give each other presents we were just going to go to Red Lobster (it is a tradition) and the movies, but I guess Dean and I have the same mind because we both felt bad about not giving each other ANYTHING because Anniversaries are a BIG deal. So I went to the bank on Monday and came home to the flowers below. One of the reasons I went to the bank was to deposit something but the main reason was so I could pick some cash to give to Dean as a present. I think we were both happily surprised at least I know I was.


I love Dean so much and have LOVED the Last 2 Years of marriage, and I look forward to the ETERNITY to come. Dean is amazing. I fall in love with him more and more everyday! I didn't believe people when I got married and they said I would love him even more as time went on But it is true! I feel my love for him growing more and more and deeper and deeper. I love him SO much, he is my everything!
