Quarter of a Century

Yesterday was a fun-filled day of birthday celebrations. Matt has hit the great 25 year old milestone. We started the day off with a breakfast bike ride up the canyon. It was beautiful and we loved it.

Thanks to my family for the gifts. Matt is super excited!

 Then we headed to Alpine. Matt mowed the lawn and we had a delicious fajita dinner. To end the perfect summer night, we sat outside telling stories and bringing out the telescope. It was the best.

Happy Birthday to the best guy around! I am excited for many many more birthdays to celebrate.

Happy Father's Day

"The most important thing a father can do for his daughter [and son] is to love their mother." 

- Sister Dalton, Oct. 2011 General Conference

That quote fits perfectly for my dad and Matt's dad. Their love and example is something we both admire. Hope you both have a special day. We love you!

365 Days

...since this happened.

...and I have been wearing this.

Things have only gotten better since then!

Happy Mother's Day

Elder Ballard once said, "A mother's nurturing love arouses in children, from their earliest days on earth, an awakening of the memories of love and goodness they experienced in their pre-mortal existence. Because our mothers love us, we learn, or more accurately remember, that God also loves us." 

I love that quote and I think it perfectly describes my mother's love and the same goes for my mother-in-law. Matt and I are both so lucky to have such great mothers. We feel of their unconditional love each day. I hope that I can be the kind of mother that my mom is to me. It is a lot to live up to, but I wouldn't want anything else. 

Happy Mother's Day!! We LOVE you!!!

Cruisin'

I finally got a bike! We have been wanting to get a bike ever since we started dating. Thanks to graduation, we were able to get it. We are so excited for daily bike rides around town and up the canyon.
