Day at Snowbird

Back at the end of May/beginning of June, Dave was at Costco and came upon discount tickets to go to Snowbird and do all the fun activities they have up there. He had to buy 4 tickets to get the discount so I told him to get them... I figured we would be able to find friends to come. We finally went last weekend! One of my very best guy friends PETER and his date Mallory came up with us! We even randomly ran into my brother and Nichelle so we hung out with them as well! It was really fun being up there. We did the Alpine slide, the zip-line, the mechanical bull, the trampolines, and the tram. It was a really fun way to spend our day! I'm glad we were finally able to go up and that we had great company :)

Twenty-two!!!

Well, Thursday was my 22nd Birthday! And we had a whole weekend of celebrating! On my actual Birthday we didn't do much. It was a typical day... work, move more stuff into our apartment, clean, etc... but Friday Dave took me out to The Melting Pot! He is sweet and remembered I'd been wanting to go there for a long time, just because I'd heard lots of good things about it. It was great, and super fun/original! I'm glad we finally went and would recommend going! Then, on Saturday we went to Raging Waters with my family and some friends. I only had a few friends come and I'm thankful they did! We had a good time running around and riding down water slides. Later that night we hit up the Bee's game! They had fireworks that night so it was way fun! All the events made for a great weekend. Happy Birthday... to ME! :)

Mmmm... Melting Pot

It's finally coming together!!!

Our apartment actually looks like a place someone can LIVE in now! :) Dave and I are moved in enough that we have been sleeping at our apartment the last few nights. It's been fun but there is still a lot of work to do! Lots of re-doing furniture, we still have to pick up my dad's couch, clean our kitchen, etc... but we are getting there! I will be sooooo happy when it's finally done! Dave and I can come home from work, and instead of thinking of what we need to do to improve our home, we can just sit back and relax!!!

Welcome to our home

"The shit bomb" is what Dave has nicknamed our new, lovely, little apartment that we will shortly be moving into. And sadly... this nickname is not far from the truth. Dave's grandpa owns these apartments and he is kind enough to let his grandchildren live there once married... for FREE! What an awesome way to help us get on our feet! We are seriously so thankful for this opportunity! Originally, we were going to move into a one bedroom. But we received awesome news that there was a two bedroom available, if we were willing to re-paint it and wait until new carpet was laid down. This last week my life has consisted of work, and then paint. It's been great :) You wouldn't think it would be such a chore, but seriously. This place is a "shit bomb." I told Dave we should permanently name it that. I'm sure some of you remember the "Party palace?" When we would go to hang out it was like... "Hey, let's go to the party palace!" or the "PP." Now me and Dave can invite people over and say something like, "Hey! Come over to hang out at the shit bomb!!" haha. (I think it would be funny but Dave doesn't think so.) Anyway! I have never seen an apartment left so ridiculously GROSS! The walls were literally covered in who knows what... food on the ceiling... gum on the base boards... leaking from the ceiling... etc. No worries though, when we are through with this place it will look AMAZING!!! I'm so excited to continue working on it just so we can finally see the end result! This is our first home together so it's very exciting... and because of that... I absolutely LOVE our little "shit bomb." :)
