Finals update, random farm animals and a fun wedding!

This past week was finals for both BYU and UVU, so basically all of the time I wasn't working I was studying. These past finals were the first ones I have ever taken in my program, and I was so nervous for them! My last final was on Thursday, and Blake's last one was friday! THE SEMESTER IS OVER!!! We are so excited to be spending christmas here (hopefully it snows again!) and then fly out to Megan's wedding on the 2nd. 

Speaking of weddings, Blake and I got to go to our good friend Tanner's wedding today! The Manti Temple is absolutely gorgeous, but it's also out in the middle of farmland. Blake and I were driving there and we had to stop for like fifteen minutes because there were literally hundreds of sheep blocking the road! 


 Seriously, I went from never seeing a sheep in my life to seeing hundreds at once!


We were driving so close to them, I probably could've reached out my window and touched one!

Anyway, the wedding was absolutely gorgeous, and Ali and Tanner are such a beautiful couple. Not to mention that the Manti Temple is the most unique temple I have ever seen! 


It kind of looks like a castle!



This is probably my favorite picture of all the groomsmen! So funny!





Once again can I point out how photogenic Blake is? It's not fair.



I think this is the brides younger sister? It was a super cute moment, I'm glad I snapped a pic of it.


Here are some pictures from the reception!



This is them cutting the cake!



They had a hot chocolate bar and it was so good! 

And of course, Blake being a groomsman and all, we HAD to help decorate the car. That's all I'll say about that. :)




Congratulations Tanner and Ali!!! 

Thank you guys for reading! I'm hoping to get a Christmas post soon, so be sure to check back!

The first snow!

Hello! It's been a while! I hope you all have been doing well and are enjoying this holiday season!! Sorry I haven't posted anything in the past few months, life just got so crazy. We finally got some snow here! Blake was in our living room sunday morning and he started screaming and I thought something was wrong so I ran in and he's all dancing around and singing christmas songs! Needless to say, we were stoked. 

Blake is so photogenic. 

We recently took a road trip to Cali to visit Blake's fam for thanksgiving, and it was the best time ever! I seriously loved spending time there, the Peels are so fun to be with! Not to mention the food was amazing. We had so much fun hot tubbing, watching christmas movies and frosting cookies! The second day we were there, Blake, Jaden and I drove up to the orange groves to run around.

There are just rows and rows of these gorgeous trees! Plus it smells amazing all the time there. 

It was so fun playing tag and getting lost in the groves. We spent a whole hour throwing oranges at each other and punching them out of the air! 

I love these two beautiful, fun-loving humans!
An afternoon well spent :)


Thank you all for your friendship and support! I promise I will blog more in the future!
