Valentines day

We had a wonderful Valentines day this year! This year we went to dinner at iggy's and to the Lady A concert with Joce, Jared, and Tay. One of the best concerts we have gone to by far. Thompson square and Darius Rucker were the opening acts and all three bands were AMAZING! I have the best husband, most aren't willing to spend Valentines day listening to country all night. Glen definitely spoiled me this year!

I made glen i little book listing all the reasons why i love him and of course his favortie a Costco size jar of jelly beans

We went and picked out a pound of chocolate from See's

Glen also got me these beautiful roses

Christmas

We had a great Christmas this year. We spent it going back and forth between our parents houses. I think this year was better than other years because i didn't have to work and actually got to enjoy my time off from school. We both got the things we wanted for Christmas and got some fun surprises too! We aren't really good at taking pictures but we did get a few over the Holiday.

We went to lots of fun family Christmas parties..

Sadly we only got to see these two a little bit because they were sick :(
East wasn't feeling good and only wanted Glen all day

I went with the boys to see Santa at the mall.

Mom and dad surprised us with Wicked tickets!

This last week we went down to Arizona for Ryun's wedding. It was a beautiful wedding and ceremony. The weather was so nice down there we didn't want to come back! We only have a few pictures of the wedding right now but we will post more later.

One of Glen's bucket list items was to get over 200 in bowling. He takes a class twice a week at school and is a league with Kenyon and Kenny. Well he finally gets to cross it off his list. He got a 208! I told him if he ever got over 200 i would blog about it so here it is! Here is my bowler with his new shirt. (they give you shirt if you get over 200)

For Halloween we decided we wanted to be the hamsters form the Kia Soul commercial. The costumes were homemade but i think they turned out well. A lot of people didn't know who we were and we got really itchy from the stuffing we used to look like fat hamsters but other than it it was great! We had fun hanging out with our families.

Things I are looking forward to:
1. Thankgiving break! We need a few days of school soo bad! We also get to see our little nice Elanor so that is plus.
2. Christmas. I know its early but my tree is already up. The second Halloween is over i believe it should be acceptable to start decorating for Christmas
3. Girls trip to Vegas with the best friends to see Celine Dion in January!



4. Lady Antebellum concert on Valentines day with glen!

Food first:
I decided to be adventurous and make some homemade fruit roll-ups that i saw on Pinterest.
They tasted really good but took about 6 hours to make. Worth it? No








































I have also been working on new Halloween decorations, i don't really have room for more but i cant resist. I made these with my cricut, they were supper easy.




















Lastly we just have to tell you about our amazing girls team. We figured out that the guys team is 10 times easier to coach but we still love our girls. The girls were great. They made tennis a team sport, which is hard to do, and they made sure everyone was included (boys could care less about that.) What we are most thankful for is what they did for Glen when his mom passed away. All the girls went in as a team and bought two shade tree's to plant by the court in honor of his mom. It was very hard for Glen and I to not cry when they told us at practice. The tree's are in and they are beautiful. Now Glen has a little piece of his mom at courts.













This is not the whole team but just a few of them after practice one day.

Thank you Pinterest

Sunday I made dinner for Glen's family to celebrate some birthdays. Two of my menue items I found on Pinterest. Its my new obsession.

A week ago we got to meet this sweet little girl. We already miss her tons and cant wait till November to see her again!



BYU's first football game was Saturday so of course i had to make a little treat to watch the game. These are just Oreo truffle's shaped as footballs.

Debbie

Glen's mom passed away Sunday after battling cancer for 2 years. While her passing is a sad thing we are happy to know she is back with her Heavenly Father and out of pain. I am so grateful to have known Debbie for 3 years. I see so many of Debbie's good qualities in Glen, and I can't began to express how grateful I am for the way that she helped raise Glen. I know she had a big part in the way Glen treats women and more specifically me. I am so grateful for the love of the gospel that Glen has partly because of his Mom. She always made a point to express the importance of the gospel and the temple to us. She was such a good example by going multiple times a week to serve in the Lords house. I believe that Glen got his genuine concern for people from from Debbie. She spent the majority of her life taking care of people as nurse. If any one knows Glen they know about his love for animals. I had wondered where the idea or becoming a vet or owning petting farm came from until I started hearing all his childhood stories about all the crazy animals he had while living with his Mom. Even while we had our hedgehog she was always calling and asking about it and was always in support of Glen getting other pets. We will miss Debbie a lot, but we are so grateful for everything she has taught us and the wonderful example she has been to us.



2 Years!
Sunday was also our 2 year anniversary! 2 years ago i married my best friend. I cannot believe how fast time has gone! We have not celebrated it yet due to moving and the other circumstances but i thought i would take the time to tell Glen how much i love him and how grateful i am for him! I cant even imagine my life without him!
He was sneaky and surprised me with these....
