January back to back to back

And just like that we are 1/12 done with 2017! Finally getting some time to get caught up on the past month, so here we go!

Gus the Photo Bus is [mostly] complete! 

There's a few more things that need fixing... brake lights, blinkers, paint and some more props... but we are already booking! We have one official wedding in June, and a few more in the pipeline which has been super exciting. 

Instagram ads have been super helpful for us, almost every time we post an ad on Insta, we get a lead. We need to get into some more Grassroots things like parades and tailgates, but I think things will pick up the warmer it gets. 

Next on the docket- Lexi and I conquering the stick shift in the bus!

We did a free event New Year's Eve at the Utah Institute. It was a little bit of a disaster due to the fact that it was so cold the printer and computer wouldn't work, and we didn't have heat so no one wanted to stop by. 

You win some you lose some eh? 

We are always taking photos with Gus, and Lexi mentioned I could put on my wedding dress and take a few pictures. I jumped on it and it still fits! Phew. 

The older I get, the more my friends branch out and start moving out of state. Mandy and her little family are in West Virginia for medical school, and Madi is in Texas with her little fam. 

 I'm grateful for holidays, and triplets so we can get together! These 4 girls are some of my absolute favorite people and I am so glad to know them! Nothing but good times.

Aaaand so glad Mad still makes time for me when she's in town! Aaron and I miss her and Gavin and Owen so much.

Only approximately 4 years and 7 months until they move back to Utah ;)

On a slow Friday night, we drove down in 5 degree temps to get some of this delicious ice cream in Provo.

Raspberry cheesecake nutella, don't mind if I do.

A late Christmas delivery came from Santa to Lexi, Spence, Aaron and I.

Poor Jake is going through a hard time and getting divorced. He has moved out of his apartment indefinitely and is staying with us. 

It's been a struggle for me. Aaron and I are not as sympathetic and willing to talk over and over and over about his relationship as we probably should be. We have our own lives, and I miss not wearing pants at home.

I have probably not been as inwardly nice as I should be and think negative thoughts a lot, along with our noisy downstairs tenants. It's been a struggle and I go back and forth but mostly on the negative side. Praying for a change of heart/Aaron helped me realize that I'm not always a kind person, so something I definitely need to work on. I think God needs me to learn something.

These past and upcoming weeks I have been/will be basically living at the airport. Haha okay maybe that's a bit dramatic, but I have been traveling a bunch for work.

The past weeks have been Denver and Florida(picture above), and then Denver again next week and Kentucky, then I get back just in time to fly out to Australia.

The only good think in Florida was the humidity. My dry wintery skin really needed a break. We literally flew all day Wednesday, sat inside in meetings all day Thursday and then flew back Friday morning. Long days of traveling and dreaming about the beach were pretty rough.

Let's hope I make it through the next couple weeks... I'm almost in Fiji... I'm almost in Fiji... I'm almost in Fiji
