Our Weekend at the Cabin

Macy went to her first dance, homecoming, a couple of weeks ago! She looked really pretty and I think had a pretty good time as well!

Sometimes life gets pretty stressful and all of us just need to get away, maybe no place that is expensive, no place that is extraordinary, or your dream vacation just place where you can relax do what you love to do and be surrounded by those you love and who love you! So that is exactly what Dallas and I did, we took off to his cabin! I have been overwhelmed with learning my new job and trying to fit school work in, and I've had so many craft projects I have just wanted to work on really bad! When Dallas told me he didn't have to work that Sunday I was sooooo excited and went straight to our luggage and started packing and off to buy what I need to make a couple of the projects I wanted to work on for Halloween! Nighttime was an interesting experience! I got so scared, Dallas really wanted to watch a scary movie...I thought I could handle it up until he turned it on and I watched the first 5 minutes, I started to freak out! We slept up in the loft and I could barley get myself to go upstairs I was so nervous! Dallas was not helping either...he was making me more scared by turning a corner and screaming or saying he could see shadows outside It turned into a really successful weekend, I don't feel as overwhelmed, and I got all the projects I wanted done, sewing, painting, hiking and especially having fun! On Sunday Dallas's parents came up to the cabin and made us scones for breakfast and hamburgers for dinner! Both were delicious! We also went for a drive up to Causey Dam, which is really low for this time of year, and Dallas's mom loves to watch animals and when we saw some sheep being herded we pulled over and watched them for a while...which was really entertaining! Unfortunately not soon after that our day had to end :( we were really slow and reluctant to go home, and start the next week! But after that we both feel really relaxed and until the next time! haha below are some pictures of our fun time!

We had to cross the river to get to the other side of the mountain, the water was just a little teeny bit cold!! Just look at Dalla's face, haha the initial reaction when he stepped in! The water was moving fast and the rocks hurt our feet it was an adventure getting across...and especially trying not to drop the camera!
This is the view from red rock, it looks down right onto Dallas's family cabin! His is the cabin right in the middle! I love his cabin, it is so warm and cozy and surrounded by bountifulness...if that is a word!
Look how gorgeous the mountains are!!! I think we are so blessed to live in such a gorgeous state, it was so wonderful to take a hike at this time of year and be reminded of how grateful we should be!
Up top red rock!! We had a lot of fun hiking to the top of red rock! We had a gorgeous view, fought off some big nasty spiders, ate some cobwebs, but are totally laughing about it now! I couldn't help but take a picture of us cause I think we are so cute together and are totally best friends!
He is bringing in the wood to start the fire!! haha, we are gonna get it going...we think!!!

This is the fire my boy scout, got for me!!! He did such a good job!

After Dallas got the fire started, we made us some DELICIOUS smores, they were so yummy that we couldn't help but have smore!

I don't know why I put this picture on here, but I think its funny! Haha Dallas was getting pretty scruffy and he could hardly stand it any longer and even though he really wanted to grow a full length beard he just couldn't resist the good feeling of a cleanly shaven face!

Good-Bye Old, Hello New

I've only had one job my whole entire working carreer, a real job I guess you can say! Yes I have babysat, mowed lawns and other odd jobs but Sew N Save was my first "real job" but just a couple weeks ago after 5 years of being raised by Sew N Save, I had to say good-bye! It was so hard but I know it will be for the best! I loved working there, I had so many second moms!! I remember so many times that I would have a horrible day and I had to go to work and why not vent and let it all out there? I was going to be there for four hours! The ladies at Sew N Save I think knew me better than I knew myself! When I was deciding where to go to college, what decided it for me was I couldn't quit Sew N Save! At the time I didn't know why I needed to stay there for so long, but I understand (2 years later) why! That is where I met my husband, Dallas. It all makes perfect sense, I needed to stay there just long enough to meet him and I am so grateful I listened to my heart and stayed! Cause he means the WORLD to me! Yes there were some days I hated Sew N Save, where we would be so busy, or I wouldn't get a long with one of the co-workers and I'd beg another job to come along! haha, thats how all jobs are I think!

I started at Thomas Arts (I nannied here last year, and loved it) a couple weeks ago, it is Farmington, an advertising industry and they are always very busy! I was hired as a marketing officer, so I help with the shipping of advertisment, and driving around to deliver or pick up whatever needs to be done! I think of myself as a PERSONAL ASSISTANT, like in the moive The Devil Wears Prada. I pick up lunch often times for meetings and other types of odd jobs. I can't say I love it as much as Sew N Save, it is a very different industry and I am learning a lot of new things. This is a good experience for me, although it has nothing to do with what I am majoring in! haha kinda funny! It'll take me a while to start to LOVE this new job, but what keeps me going is I am doing this for a purpose to help my new family! So for that I love it! I am gettig used to the 6 hour long days, instead of the 4 hours at Sew N Save that seemed to drag on long enough!

Other than that, Dallas and I are still doing great, and keeping busy! We are always running around doing errands or off playing when we have the chance! This weekend I am so excited we are going to get away to his family cabin for the weekend, to just relax and let the stress just fade away! haha!

Our Fun Weekend!!!

This weekend was way busy but so much fun!

On Labor Day, it was our ONE MONTH ANNIVERSARY! We can't believe we have already been married for one month! This month went by super fast! Both of us had the day off and we spent it together doing what we love to do...just have fun! We went grocery shopping (not really the funnest thing to do) then we went to Fat Cats at the Junction in Ogden and played arcade games. Dallas and I don't speak of that much because we were horrible at the games we usually win the most tickets at! He did surprise me with some fun prizes..can't get much with the little amount of tickets we had! haha oh well we still had so much fun! Then we played glow in the dark minature golf..a blast!! Raced race cars and best of all ate at Olive Garden! It was a fun day, I love every second I get to spend with him..especially when it's all day! I LOVE YOU BABE!!

Ashley Falcon, came down from Provo this weekend to spend her birthday with us!! She even came over Friday night and her and Macy spent the night! Poor Dallas in a house of all girls...or should I say lucky Dallas! We had a lot of fun, when Macy had to go to work on Saturday Ashley and I played X-Box 360, guitar hero, talked and talked and talked! When Dallas got home from work we went and played at the mall, (window shopped :D) and then our favorite went and played at a park!! That was a blast, just like old times

Just Hanging around!

BEST FRIENDS

This picture we took on a self timer, while Dallas was in the car listening to the Oklahoma VS. BYU Football game! Dallas and Ashley had a little rivelry going on! Dallas for anyone but BYU and Ashley BYU all the way!!

Look at him go!!! haha!

Awesome Rock Climbing!!! haha, we made it to the top but didn't have a bell to hit! We were pretty sad!

Ashley is so good at catching the perfect moments! What a great action moment! This is just part of the fun we had while together!

Who beats who?

We love playing on the swings!! Its been a long time since I have actually played at a park with swings!!!

I don't really know what is going on in this picture, I was climbing up the wall and started to slip and Dallas came to save me, haha oooooo!! Ashley captured some pretty intense moments here!

I was curious if I could jump over Dallas off this green rock! Took some nerve and Dallas I think was pretty nervous! But I did it!! haha!

After playing at the park and the mall, Ashley had a date with Dallas's brother Logan! Ashley and I had contemplated what to eat all day long! We wanted to make a big menu and cook a big fancy dinner...but in the end we ran out of time having too much fun! Logan picked up Ashley at our apartment where we had Papa Murpheys pizza, and I had the table all set so fun! I love doing stuff like this! We then went to the Raptors game, where we upgraded our seats for 5.00 and got a 2.50 coupon for food (I love good deals) and had seats directly across from 3rd base! AWESOME!! It was a lot of fun to have Ashley and Logan with us!

All four of us at the Raptors game!! So much fun, we never stayed the whole 9 innings. Raptors won!!! WAHOO!!!

Us sitting at the baseball game!! haha I don't know what Dallas is lauging at, but I think that is the cutest face!! haha!

Ashley and Logan at the Raptors!! They had a lot of fun together, it was so much fun doubling with them!! Glad they let us tag along!

HAPPY 20TH BIRTHDAY ASHLEY!! My silly mom came up with this cleaver cake instead of candles she used sparklers! We called this this ASH-ley cake! haha! It was yummy!! Can't be immature anymore Ashley...sorry :( hehe jk!
