Big Announcement

Hello everyone! Well, you've all been waiting for big news. I get questions about it all the time. "When are you going to add a few more feet to your family?" "Is that extra room for a baaaaaaby?" "Seriously, cut the crap. When are you gonna have kids" (Thank you Jason Hall). Well, we have thought about it. Thought and thought. Thought till we thought our thoughts would come back to haunt us. And now we have a solution.
We bought a house!!! So someday when we actually DO have a baby, we can put the aforementioned "children" in one of the 3 bedrooms, because we are expanding to just over 1900 sq ft. HAH! We are so excited to have a house. Everything "should be done" by the end of the month, and we will be leaving the apartment world forever. We have been so blessed to have lived here in our $500/mo apt, but Obama offered us money, and we are taking it! Here are some pictures...



This is what we will wake up to every morning.... Hello sunshine!




The fireplace. So cozy! (Don't worry, we hate the rock, too)





Hello cutie pants Matt!!



HELLLLLOOOOOO DISHWASHER!!!



Front room from the fireplace


We hope you will come visit our home! Our home that is a house. And ours. :) In only 360 payments...it will be ours. Hooray!!
Ps. It's in Provo.

I have a reason...

But I just wanted to say this right now: "Vintage" is NOT all the old crap that your parents had in the 70's (that is covered in some form of "gold", orange, or those clocks that look like the sun with bounteous rays of love) that no one wants anymore, but you want to sell it on Craigslist to make a buck and label it "vintage" so it will be seen. That stuff is crap. CRAP. And no one wants it.

Bloggin down the weight

Hi everyone! Just letting you know that I have started a new blog in addition to this one. The address is amysfitnessblog.blogspot.com. The purpose of this blog is for me to track my daily progress toward my goal of losing weight, eating healthy, and exercising regularly. I was so inspired by another blog I saw that was created for the same purpose, that I decided to make my own. Anyway, check it out.

San Francisco

Last week was UVU's Spring Break so we decided to head out from sunny Utah to sunny California. We had a blast. One of Amy's best friends lives in San Francisco so we stayed with them. It was so much fun. They did a great job of showing us the city, making sure we ate good food and keeping us entertained. As you will see in the pictures below we saw a lot of sites and altogether did a ton. We couldn't have asked for better weather.



Of course we saw the Golden Gate Bridge. We even drove across it! Twice!

We took a trip to the infamous Alcatraz


"Itty bitty living space"



This is Amy and her friend Loni with Downtown San Francisco in the background

This is a square of toilet paper from one of the bathrooms in San Fran. Like I said we were very entertained.
Mmmmm! Ghirardelli Square was YUMMY!

This is Danny, Loni and little Jaxson. Our fearless and devoted tour guides.


They were awesome!Amy confessed her undying love for me in the beach... That is until the tide comes up :(



We enjoyed the artistic Palace of Fine Arts


Too much of this and we'll have a Full House before we know it.


It was such a treat to go to the temple where my parents were married.


It wasn't until after the sun had set and the lights were on could we see why they "really" call it the Golden Gate Bridge



It was definitely worth the 29 hours in a car across lonely deserts and snowy passes... but next time, we're flying!

Thanks Danny, Loni and Jaxson!


If you want to see a few more pictures of our trip to San Francisco, check our Danny and Loni's blog

The Latest House in the hunt

So while looking in Lehi one day we decided that we should also look in American Fork. We realized that whether or not we were East or West of the freeway didn't change travel time. We found this house pretty quick and both really liked it.
