Day 151

Day 150

Andy took my friend Caitlyn flying, and here she is actually flying the plane! It was a little nerve racking for me just sitting in the back of the plane. She did a pretty good job. We're still alive, so it must not have been too bad.

Day 149

From Left: Melanie, Andy, Nathan, Little Nathan (Parker), Nick, and Tami

Andy & I went to the drive-in tonight with some of our best friends. We watched Terminator & Ghosts of Girlfriends Past. Well actually, I slept during Terminator so I wouldn't fall asleep during the show I wanted to see. There is nothing quite like taking a nap at the drive-in. Andy & I didn't get home until 2 am. It's going to take a lot to recooperate from that!

Day 148

Nick & Tami (Tami is not pictured because she took the picture) came over to our house for dinner last night. We made delicious scones (Thanks, Tami & Nick, for getting the scone dough). It was fun hanging out out with them because Andy & I don't get very many visitors at our house (We wish we did)! Thanks, Tam & Nick, for a fun time!

Day 147

So I woke up this morning with a huge pain in my neck. The pain lasted all day, so this is how I spent most of my day. I was so glad when Andy got home because he took such good care of me. He picked up pizza for dinner and even went to the grocery store for some groceries we needed. I sure love my husband! He is the best!

Day 146

Here is Andy watering our garden at home. We planted tomatoes, corn, beans, peas, strawberries, cantalouope, and watermelon. They are all growing pretty well considering the soil is not very good. I just hope we can just keep the deer away from our crops!

Day 145

Andy flew Nick, Tami, and I to Wendover for the lunch today & also for Nick's birthday which was last friday. It was so amazing to have Andy fly us all there! He does such a good job flying that airplane. It makes me feel so proud to call him my husband! When we got to the casino, Nick put one dollar in the slot machine & he won $120!!! It was pretty awesome.

Day 144

Day 143

So my mom started her spring cleaning today. She was going through all of the old clothes that were just laying around in the attic. Well, I found this dress from when I was like 5 and just had to put it on Jerzee. My mom thinks I should save this dress for when I have little girls, but I think it's a little outdated. Would anyone care to agree with me?

Day 142

This is the deicious dinner Andy & I had tonight! Pigs in a blanket...mmmm!

Day 141

After work today, I had a ton of errands to run. As I was driving to one of the many places I had to go to, I realized I was very close to the cemetery that one of my very dearest friends was buried. I just felt like I needed to go visit his grave, and I wasn't sure if I would get the chance to on Memorial Day. So I did.

His name was Darwin Ray, and he was the greatest person anyone could ever meet. My sister & I were really good friends with his kids as well as with him. He was the cool dad in the neighborhood that always hung out and did wild & crazy things with us kids. He died on May 15, 2008 in an awful motorcycle accident. I will never forget the phone call I got from my sister, Kristina, to tell me he had passed. I was at work, and I ended up having to go home because I was crying uncontrollably. It was a very sad day for a lot of people. He was such a fun person to be around, and I am so lucky to have known him. Thanks for being such a great example to me, Starman! I miss you!

Day 140

Andy & I finally have internet at our house!!! Yay! I have been so bored with out it. Pretty sad that I depend so much on the internet, huh? Oh well, I like staying connected!

Day 139

Emily & her kids flew home early this morning. I have had so much fun with all of them over the past few weeks. I am so glad they were able to come for the wedding because they all mean so much to me. I am going to miss them so much!

Day 138

Andy & I went swimming with Andy's family tonight. Zack loved playing with Andy in the pool. Andy would pretend like he was a shark, and Zack would scream & giggle. For those of you that don't know, Zack (and Abby) have this infectious laughter that is so cute. I could never get enough of those giggles!

Day 137

I sure love Sundays! Pretty much every Sunday Andy's entire family gets together. Our Sunday adventures are what I look forward to every week. Today, we were all outside watching the kids play on the TOWER when I noticed that the neighbors puppies had gotten out. Being the dog lover that I am, I had to play with them before I could put them back. The puppies were nipping at the kids toes, but that didn't scare Zack. All he wanted to do was hold them. This is a picture of one of the puppies giving Zack kisses (Thanks Shanna for taking pictures). How cute is that?

Day 136

Tami, Andy, & I went to the annual Davis district warehouse sale. Basically, you search for something good in a big pile of junk. Andy & I found a wireless network card, but we'll see how well it really works. This is a picture of me with only about an eighth of all the computer stuff that was at the sale.

Day 135

Happy Birthday, Caitlyn!!! Caitlyn is one of my best friends. She is the funnest person I have ever known. I think of her as one of my own sisters. Caitlyn, I hope your birthday was everything you had hoped for! Love ya!

Day 134

This is what happens when you get married. You cut your hair. I haven't had this short of hair since 9th grade! It's going to take some getting used to, but I absolutely love it!!! I am so lucky to have the best hair stylist in the world as one of my best friends! Thanks, Tricia! You did an amazing job!

Day 133

Today had to be one of the most boring days of my life. After I got off work, I was supposed to go home and wait for the digis guy so we could maybe get internet in our apartement (because I am going crazy without internet), but the guy came before I got home and told us that it just wasn't going to work because there are too many trees around our house. Then I decided to mow the lawn, but I couldn't get the lawn mower to work (Not becuase I'm an idiot. Andy tried when he got home & he couldn't figure it out either). So then, I was out of ideas of things to do. I couldn't wait for Andy to get home! Normally, Andy gets home around 5, but he decided to take his brothers-in-law, Nick & Casey, flying at 5. So that meant that from 12:30 pm to 8:00 pm, I was all alone with nothing to do. I was sooooo bored and then I got a call from Casey. He told me that they were going to be flying over our house any minute, so I grabbed my camera and ran outside. That is my Andy flying that small plane! I am so proud of him even though the thought of him flying scares me to death.

Day 132

Andy & I had fun putting together this cabinet for our kitchen tonight. I told Andy I needed a picture of the day, but he wanted me to hand him one of the hinges. This is a picture of him waiting--not so patiently. It may look like Andy doesn't love me, but I can assure all of you that he truly does.

Day 131

Andy took his dad flying tonight. It was Andy's first flight since he got his pilot license. When Andy got home, he was just bursting with joy. He loves flying, but I think he was really happy about being able to share his love for flying with his dad. I wasn't able to get a picture of them in the airplane, so I guess I will just post a picture of Andy in his sweet tux next to his airplane (Thanks Natalie for taking his Groom pictures. I love them all so much. You did an amazing job!).

Day 130

Today's picture is for my mom. I just want to wish her a very Happy Mother's Day! She has always been there to support me in everything I do! I love you, Mom!

Day 129

Andy & I went to the Eagles concert at Rio Tinto Stadium with Andy's best friend, Tony! This was our first real concert experience. The music was awesome, but the best part was all the people watching I got to do! I love to watch people. DRUNK PEOPLE ARE HILARIOUS!!!

Day 128

Beautiful quilts made for our wedding! Now where do we put them?

Day 127

We are finally back from our honeymoon & it feels good! The honeymoon was awesome, but we sure missed our friends and family! We opened our wedding presents today & boy, did we get spoiled! We are so greatful for all the amazing gifts! Thanks everyone!

Day 126

I have been to this zoo a thousand times, but it gets better everytime. Andy loved all the ducks!

Day 125

The next stop on our honeymoon-- Bear Lake! I love this place!

Day 124

Our last day at Anniversary Inn. Here is a picture of us and Andy's favorite part of the entire room- the fish tank.

Day 123

Just a candid shot of the temple on our honeymoon.

Day 122

I married my best friend today!!! Although the rain poured on us & my dress got ripped twice, one thing went MOST DEFINITELY right--I was sealed to the greatest person ever! This is a picture I stole from my photographers blog. She did an amazing job even with all the rain! If you want to see more pictures of our wedding day, you can visit her blog HERE.

Day 121

The weather forecast tomorrow looks pretty bad, so we moved the reception to the church. I still think it turned out great though! I'm getting married tomorrow!!!!
