Wow...

I know, I know... it has been way too long since I have blogged. Here's an update... 20 things that Spencer and I have been up to the past several months... including lots of instagram pics, of course!


1. We've almost been married a year! August 26th is almost here! ...I think my husband's pretty much the greatest.

2. I'm working at Vivint as an administrative assistant. Spencer's working as a research assistant for the Dean of Religion at BYU -- doing some crazy stuff with bananas... you'll have to ask him about it sometime.

3. Spencer took me snowboarding for the first time since I broke my elbow. It felt great to get back on the mountain.

4. Spencer turned 23 on April 12th! I had a few surprises planned for him, including a golf cupcake-cake and a swimming date in the crater in Midway. If you haven't done it... you need to!


5. When finals were over, Spencer and I took a weekend getaway to Vegas!
 

6. My BF Lacey got married in May! She was such a stunning bride. I gave her a fun bridal shower at my parents' new home. It was a blast! My other gorgeous friend Grace (and Mike) and cousin Brittany (and Ridge) also got married. Spencer's long-time friend CJ married Audrey too! I love weddings! So happy for all of them!

7. I turned 22 on June 5th and my sweet hubby planned a day of surprises for me. He sent me for a massage, took me to see the otters at the aquarium (my all time favorite animal), built me the most amazing aqua-colored door shelf and took me on a 4-wheeling adventure. My mom also planned THE cutest chevron-themed birthday dinner for me with the fam. It was such a great day!!

8. We went on an overnight camping adventure with the Childs and the Smiths (Spencer's childhood friends). We absolutely love hanging out with them!


9. Spencer went to his first REAL Salt Lake game with my family. It was great fun.


10. We went to the Pleasant Grove fair with Matt and Autumn. Spencer and Matt went on the most nauseating ride I've ever seen... and they loved it! haha



11. Spencer took me to the Keane concert at the Gallivan Center in Salt Lake. We have definitely found our favorite summer music!

12. We went to two rodeos - the Lehi Rodeo with my fam (Nasher baby had his cowbaby boots and hat on!) and the Draper Days Rodeo with my girls and their hubbies (Matt + Tess and Lacey + Reagan).
 
13. We lay out at the pool on as many Saturdays as we can. Love it.

14. Spencer and I went to Sugarhouse Park on the 4th of July to watch the fireworks. It was such a great, long fireworks show!

15. I did a subtle melt/ombre to my hair.


16. We went to Cali with all of the Snyder family! We stayed in Oceanside, went to Knott's Berry Farm, swam at the beach and played with all the kiddos! I miss them already!

17. We moved to Pleasant Grove two weeks ago from Orem. Matt and Autumn finished off their basement into a beautiful, new basement apartment for us. We love it! ...and we love our new landlords. ;)


18. We're pretty much obsessed with the OLYMPICS! I made these cute cupcakes for a fun Olympic Day we had at work. GO TEAM USA!

19. We just got back from Echo Lake in Montana (our sis-in-law Brynn's family has a cabin up there on the lake). We had such a fun time! Wake surfing was my favorite! ...even though I got clobbered in the face with the fin on the bottom of the board! haha

20. Did I mention we've almost been married a year? :)


Blogging. I promise I'll be better!
