6 months and going...

This week on November 10th, Aaron and I have been married for 6 months! Can't believe it's been 6 months... although sometimes it seems longer, but not in a bad way at all.

Aaron spent the morning on the toilet. Poor kid I've never heard him so miserable. He crawled on the floor and just laid there, looking like he was ready to die. He forced himself to go to work, against my advice, and suggested pizza for dinner. Not his greatest idea, but I can't turn down pizza.

The longer we are together the more I realize how different we are. But it's not necessarily a bad thing.

He's an extrovert. I'm an introvert.

He pushes the snooze button 3+ times in the morning. I'm awake and going right when the alarm goes off.

He stays awake during movies. I fall asleep.

He loves salty snacks. I love sweets.

He saves. I spend.

He's logical. I'm emotional.

He grew up with 9 siblings. I grew up with 2.

He loves fishing and camping. I love vacationing and shopping.

He sticks with favorites. I like trying new things.

He loves home BBQ's. I love eating out.

Although we may have some differences, I am glad we do. It pushes us to try new things, see a different perspective and learn to share(mostly me).

Lately I have noticed all the sweet things he does for me...

He parks on the street so I can park in the driveway... closer to the door.

He scrapes my icy windshield off for me before I go to work.

He prays, thanking Heavenly Father "thank you for Maddy because she's so beautiful" every. single. day.

Last night he said "I think I love you more now then I did when we got married".


So many little things that can be forgotten through life's busy-ness. Here's to 6 months and Eternity to go!

Last night

Last night we did nothing and I loved it. 

Our neighbors had tons of leftover Halloween candy, surprised us with a big bag on our doorstep. I've been binge eating that candy ever since. Its been the best slash worst thing. 

Aar definitely loved the skittles :)

About a month ago I had three really bad Diet Cokes in the span of one week. They tasted like they were missing the syrup. Being the nerd that I am, I wrote Diet Coke to tell them about my bad experience. Fast forward a month and they sent me this! Yahoo!

Aaron found this app where it can record your voice into a rap. Basically all you have to do it talk into it, and it converts your voice to a rap with background music. We were laughing all night long. Funniest thing everrrrrr.

Okay I lied about not doing anything. Mary came over and we painted for an upcoming craft show we are participating in. We are first timers at this so cross your fingers our table does well this December.

While we were waiting for the paint to dry, we did a 30 minute session of P90x, it made me feel a little bit better about all the candy I've been eating.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

I am lucky to work at such a great office. We went to Blue Lemon for breakfast and took selfie's with my bosses new selfie stick :)

Pumpkin carving

This week we celebrated Halloween with our neighbors. We carved pumpkins, bobbed for apples, and ate donuts off the string-which is hilarious if you haven't done it! 

We're not very creative when it comes to pumpkin carving, but it's the thought that counts! Loved doing traditional Halloween activities!

Halloween party

Yep, your eyes aren't betraying you. I did in fact hang out with a goat over the weekend in a questionable area of downtown SLC. Right by the freeway and train tracks. This crazy night all goes back to my job at the ad agency. 

My bosses are huge, I mean HUGE Halloweenies. They love it more than Christmas. So instead of having an annual Christmas party, they throw a B-I-G Halloween party for all of our vendors. In the past it has included tarot card readers, haunted mansions, costumes and always lots of booze- which makes it a little ca-razy for those of us that don't drink. 

Last year the party was at the Armstrong mansion in Salt Lake. The mansion is rumored to be haunted. They rented the mansion out for the night, decorated with cobwebs, brought in a real coffin and tarot card readers. We stayed the night since it was a bed and breakfast. Luckily nothing spooky happened to me! 

Every year they are always raising the bar, and this year was no exception. This year we explored the world of secret societies by creating our own. 

 So naturally our graphic designer created a logo for our newfound society.

The meeting place was at a concert venue in a sketchy area of town. Once everyone arrived, we took an oath, donned black cloaks and black masks and hopped on one of two charter buses to explore different areas around town and read stories of masons and other societies. 

By the end of the night, most everyone around us was drunk and we were tired. But we ended the night by lighting lanterns off. 

 It was so pretty! I would love to do this again someday!

Most of the lanterns didn't catch off into the sky, I don't know if it was because the lanterns were cheap, or if everyone was drunk. Luckily ours took off and Aaron was so proud... ours is the farthest tiny light in the sky you can see. 

By the end of the night we were worn out, and it's not super fun to hang out with a bunch of drunk people. We headed home and fell asleep on the couch- Aaron's favorite thing to do while watching sports center. But the party was a success, and everyone enjoyed it, can't wait to see what ideas my bosses have in store for next year. 

Cornbelly's

I'm a Cornbelly's lover. Last night Mary I and went to Cornbelly's, it was her first time, and she loved it! Since we were in Lehi, we of course had to stop at Swig. We are praying for one to come to Salt Lake soon! 

Cornbelly's is the cutest Fall festival/fair/carnival, and there's so much to do! We rode the cow train, slid down the slide on the gunnysack slide, went through the corn maze, walked through the mini haunted house and more! 

 Classic rocking chair picture.

 Corn maze champs.

My first time trying the mexican corn! It was yummy- it's a mix of mayo, chili powder, butter and lime. 

The jumping pillow is harder to jump on then it looks. I may have embarrassed myself a little bit. 

My toes were completely numb by the end of the night, but we came home scared, satisfied and full of yummy food. We had a lot of fun, and it's safe to say Mary is a fan now. #corncops #lildiny

Hi Mom!

My mom has been in town the past couple days. Her list of things while in town included:

Hiking to the Living Room
Hiking to Ensign Peak
Going to Sweet Tomatoes
Visiting her mom

I added a few like:

Going to Pizzeria Limone
Going to Swig
Seeing Meet the Mormons

So that's exactly what we did this weekend! I'm glad she likes to try new things and appreciates new restaurants. 

After picking her up from the airport Friday we swung by Pizzeria Limone for lunch. Following work, Aaron and I met her and my grandma at the movie theater to watch the movie Meet the Mormons. It was a great movie and I haven't seen a documentary in a long time so that filled my fix for a while now. 

Can I just say this Fall has been perfect!! If Fall was like this every year I wouldn't be such a hater. The weather has literally been perfect all October. No rain, no snow, just sunny and warm, giving us plenty of time to enjoy the pretty leaves all month. 

 The mountains were on fire! So pretty during our Living Room hike.

 My aunt and uncle Paul and Kristen joined us for the hike.

  She forgot about the elevation change between here and Alabama... but we still made it!

Much anticipated and well deserved Swig. I had to introduce her to the famous sugar cookies and flavored drinks. It did not disappoint. So glad she's game to drive all the way to Bountiful just for a cookie.
