A LITTLE SUN PLEASE

In exactly 18 days we will be heading here...

But who's counting, right?

We can't wait to RELAX in the SUN together...

Make a trip here, since it's open again...

See some of our favorite VIEWS of the OCEAN...

Enjoy days of NO MAKEUP...

(Me, not him, obviously)

Do a little PADDLE BOARDING...

And play in the WAVES...

JUMP into the ocean...

HIKE diamond head for the amazing views...

Eat at some of our favorite RESTAURANTS...

Enjoy some of our favorite TREATS...

(Multiple times)

And make more of these...

OAHU, here we come!!

We are SO lucky to be heading back there so soon.

Who wouldn't want a week in the SUN

with their family and sweetheart??

SPRING BREAK is much needed in this house...

Please let these next few weeks go by FAST!!

Sunday

My husband is pretty cute huh?

I sure think he is!!

I love lazy Sunday afternoons with him,

listening to him play my favorite songs on the guitar...

It's the best!!

Not your average LOVE day

We hope you all had a wonderful Valentine's day...

Ours was great, but not what you would expect.

I started out the day with a trip to the Salt Lake Temple

with my best friend Brooke.

It was great doing baptisms for the dead,

since I haven't done those since I was married.

Zach started his day out bright and early with an

Organic Chemistry test...fun huh?

We went out for a quick breakfast before we

both had to be to work.

After work I went to school, tutoring,

and then met Zach up at the Huntsman Cancer Institute

Bistro for a "romantic" Valentine's dinner

during his break.

After dinner I went home and watched my

favorite show, The Bachelor.

What could be better on a day of LOVE then to watch

the bachelor fall in "love" with all his ladies?!

After that, I studied for a test and waited

for Zachary to get home from work...

I waited, and waited, and finally went to bed.

Surgery went late, so Zach had to work until 3:00 in the morning!

But, Zach got to scrub in and assist in an awesome surgery.

So it was worth the late night.

Like I said, not your average Valentine's day,

but it was still a great one!!

yummy

I haven't had cake in over a YEAR...

Yes, it's been that long,

thanks to the fact that the flour in it

makes me as sick as a dog.

Well, my mom's cute friend Jennifer found

this recipe for me...it's completely

GLUTEN FREE

and absolutely delicious.

Zach and my family even loved it, which is saying

a lot because most of the gluten free stuff

I make and buy is pretty gross.

It's a FLOURLESS CHOCOLATE CAKE.

Try this recipe. You will LOVE it!!

Cabin Fever

A few weekends ago, Zach and I headed up to

our CABIN with some of our favorite friends.

It was such a FUN weekend...

The boys did their "MANLY" things.

We played in the SNOW...

And did some SLEDDING!

We made a chain of sleds and had ZACH pull

us behind the four wheeler.

There were a few minor accidents...

And lots of LAUGHS.

There was plenty of time for relaxing, talking, and

staying WARM in the cabin.

Thanks for a fun weekend in the

mountains you guys!!

Bieb

I may or may not have gone to the midnight

premiere of the JUSTIN BIEBER movie last night...

Fine...Guilty.

I DID go, and I LOVED every minute of it!!

I went with my 14 year old cousin Ellie and her friends...

And my cute friend Emily and her little sister Izzy.

Oh, and it was in 3D...yes, 3D Justin Bieber.

What could be BETTER?!

You better believe we danced and sang along to all of his songs.

Maybe I'm a little too old, but you guys, I have

BIEBER FEVER!!

Anyone who knows me well knows that I always have.

He is stinking ADORABLE...not to mention uber TALENTED.

I told Zach not to be surprised if one day I come

home with adoption papers, adopting little Justin Bieber...

That would be the day.

Wow, I'm embarrassing!!

A Runner's BEST Friend

I have been trying to RUN a lot lately.

I am training for a HALF MARATHON with some of my friends.

It will be my first ever, and I am super excited!!

I have a few months left to train...so hopefully I will be ready.

I have discovered that I run the best, and longest

when I have some great TUNES to run along to.

This has become my new BEST FRIEND...

If you are a runner, GET ONE!!

This NANO is seriously TINY, and CUTE I might add.

It has CLIP on the back so I can clip it to my shirt

and run, hands free and without one of

those super annoying arm bands.

It weighs NOTHING.

Genius!!

Green and Yellow

This is who we will be cheering for today...

Go PACKERS go!!

Today is pretty much a holiday for both of us.

For him it's a holiday because football is LIFE.

For me it's a holiday because football is OVER for a few months.

Hope you all have a great Super Bowl Sunday,

whoever you are cheering for.
