" So it's not gonna be easy. It's gonna be really hard. We're gonna have to work at this every day, but I want to do that because I want you. I want all of you, forever, you and me, every day. "

I think that pretty much sums it up...

Its been 2 years. 2 completely wonderful years with my babe. I wouldn't trade it for the world.

Austin Mark,

You inspire me. I know I tell you frequently that you make my day, but truly you do, everyday I am with you is a new favorite! You make me feel like the luckiest girl to ever live and for that I am grateful. I appreciate your ability to lighten any one of my moods! You are the funniest person I have ever met- seriously, I thought that 4 years ago after only knowing you for 15 min... little did I know that would become my eternity, I love that. I love that you are always in good spirits despite your numerous job disappointments. You amaze me with your personal motivation- always searching for a new job, or schooling option, anything to fit "our needs" as you say! I'm pretty sure not an hour goes by where I am not making some dumb mistake or embarrassing comment, but you love me through it. You have taught me to laugh through all my many mistakes/dumb blonde moments, thank you. You support me no matter what- that means the world to me, I know I get some pretty crazy ideas/ambitions. You are selfless, always waiting till way to late to eat with me, you make me feel special. Most of all thank you for loving me, through the ups the downs and everything else life has to throw at us. I love you and I'm grateful you are by my side for forever!

Spring Break.

We had the most lovely spring break. I convinced the Mr. to take work off for 3 days so we could head to some sun. Lets be real, he is really the one that needed the break from work, and I'm grateful he agreed.

Before we headed to St. George I was able to play with my sisters. Monday we headed to the zoo. I seriously love the zoo and it was no different this time! The kids had a blast and i loved just not having anything to do. After that I was able to paint my adorable bench, Its red which I love. Next up was Tuesday and we took the kids to Bird World. Its like a pet store on steroids. Really I just wanted to go because a month ago my sister in law got a toy poodle there and I have fallen in love and just wanted to check the remaining inventory. If ya'll didn't know Aust has promised me a dog once I graduate so I gotta keep up on whats out there! :) After the pet store we went home to make some of the cutest owl decorations ever. I would post pics but they are not all the way done. Anyways it was nice. My sister just kept saying, "Man I wish you never had to work, everyday could be like this!" It really was so nice, I forgot what it was like to not have anything to rush off to one after another!

Wednesday I picked my mr. up from work and off to St. George we went. It was the best, I absolutely loved the 5 hr. drive just us, giggling, reminiscing, nothing about work or stupid school It was perfect! Our good friends live down there, (or up I don't know?) and were kind enough to let us stay. They are always good company and I'm sad they live far away but its a nice excuse to get away. We didn't have much on the agenda so our days consisted of laughter, tons of shopping, scorpion hunting, pool sitting, visiting, Vegas, and lots of eating out! Sounds pretty perfect right?

Now we are back to the weekly grind but at least summer is coming and the sun staying out till 8PM isn't making school nights so gloomy anymore!

"Don't delay, it's getting late!"

So how about some updates. We have done some fun things, and with it being Spring Break, I finally have time to document them.

My father in law always gets hook ups to all sorts of fun things. Lucky for us we always reap the benefits! A couple weeks ago we took advantage of some ski passes and lodging up at the Canyons resort. The room we stayed in was $600 a night. We stayed for free then spent the next day snowboarding. It was on this day that I finally decided I should retire snowboarding. I am just so awful at it and the only place I like going is at Powder Mnt. during night time. Just one simple run! Park City was a whole different story. Way to much going on and for somebody who sucks, its awful. Aust is seriously the best sport. He is so sweet and always waits for me and sits with me. Its a boring day for him! But he'd never let me know it by his actions. Love him.

I don't know if I've mentioned this but we are members of a shooting range. Its been very fun, our Friday afternoons are spent there, together. It makes for a great day.

I love when spring finally hits, it becomes birthday season, general conference, motorcycle rides, and long days of sunlight! Its great! During the priesthood session, my sis and I made benches out of kitchen chairs. They turned out dang cute and I cant wait to finish my little garden display with it!

We have some good friends in our ward that invited us to a session at the conference center, Sunday. Great talks, great company, doesn't get much better! After conference we headed to a birthday party for Mr. Luken. He turned 1 and let me just tell you what a special day it was. I just kept thinking how differently we could have been spending the day had he not survived that awful day in August.And now for some serious Spring break activity-
Stayed tuned :)
