Fall Festivities


Mike and I have really enjoyed Fall in Rexburg as newlyweds. We absolutely love our new apartment and have made lots of new friends in our ward and on this side of town. Rexburg is no doubt different as a married couple, but we both agree that it’s better. No more curfew, no boys out, and no nagging R.A's. The only trade off is paying bills that we didn't even think of when we were single, like electricity and gas. It’s worth every penny to share a home and be married to my best friend.


Halloween was a blast for Mike and me. At the last minute my friend Breanne gave us the idea to dress up as David and Victoria Beckham. Mike wore Beckham's jersey and sleeve tattoos and I tried to dress like Posh Spice. Without him I just looked like I was going out on the town. We got together with about ten married couples and played games and ate junk food. Pictured here with us is Mr. Darcy and Elizabeth, a.k.a. Miles and Chelsey.


Mike's family spent the weekend with us and we had a blast. I feel so blessed to have the in-laws that I love and enjoy spending time with. Catherine, Mike's mom, treated us to Texas Roadhouse when she came up for Mother's weekend. Mike's brother, Matt, his girlfriend Lindsey, his son Jaxon, and Mike's younger sister Lauren stayed at our house. It was a big slumber party and we loved it.



I was able to get reacquainted with my really good friend, Mellissa Hill, when she came all the way from Las Vegas for her baby shower. She is having a baby boy in about a month and I am so excited for her and Curtis. Her shower turned into a reunion for all of the girls I used to live with at Tuscany Apartments. We ended up having a girls night at my friend Paige's apartment and stayed up late together and chatted it up. It was so fun to catch up with all my friends and have some girl time. Pictured from left to right: Me, Paige, Bre, Tara, Mel, Brit, and Stacey. Love those girls.

HOLY COW I am as big as a house in that picture. Now I'm about as big as a mansion and I keep getting bigger!!!! Serious Les, this whole bun in the oven thing is harder than it seems! It was SO good to see you and everyone else last month. That was some desperately needed girl time. Luv YA!
