I seriously lucked out with the greatest husband EVER and I am so grateful he was born!!!! Here's how we spent this special day...

 Breakfast in bed! :)

 Cute birthday boy!!!

 For his birthday I made him a coupon book with services from me! 25 coupons for 25 years of life! :)

 We laid in bed and watched conference all morning, it was a dream! Then I made him a salmon lunch, one of his favorites!

After the afternoon session of conference we headed to his parents to have his birthday dinner! It was delicious and fun to take a walk down Jeff's memory lane! I married an angel :)

(I'm almost 100% sure I know what his wish was...to be a father, so sweet)

Happy birthday babe, I hope it was a birthday to remember! I LOVE YOU ETERNALLY!!!!

BYU Conference Weekend!!!

This weekend was ideal (other than BYU losing) 

We had the blessed opportunity of going up to the BYU game and General Conference with Jeff's parents this weekend as his birthday gift!

It was perfect weather with wonderful people doing amazing things, all equals an ideal weekend!!!!

We headed up Friday afternoon, met up with the whole Hauck family for dinner then walked up to the BYU football game!

 You can't tell, but Amy is in front of the Zions Bank sign down there. She camped out for two days to get such good seats! 

 Our little travel group!

 Jim McMahon retired his jersey during half time!

 Reunited!

 Mom has her evening chocolate ice cream every night, this night was no exception :)

 The game got over around midnight and we all crashed as soon as we got to the hotel, or maybe it was just me that crashed hahaha. We all watched Saturday morning conference in our hotel room!

 We then checked out, piled in this beaut and headed to the afternoon General Conference session.

 While I was up north my Aunt ran her 6th marathon and finished in 4:03, AMAZING!!! I wish I could've been there but she was in my thoughts! So proud of her! She is truly inspiring in every way, body and soul!!!! If you don't know her, you should because I know she would bless your life.

 This was my first LIVE General Conference and I was so excited! It's amazing how many people come for this event, they come from all over the world to hear the word of the Lord.

 Excited!

 Love them!

 I was a little frazzled before it started because I had to check in my backpack last minute and forgot to get my journal out to take notes, didn't have my snack I packed, didn't have my chapstick, nothing. But I did manage to remember my phone so I could get this cute picture! Love this man!

 The Conference center is HUGE! It's so amazing!

When the prophet walks in it gets silent and the feeling of peace is overwhelming. I couldn't hold back tears throughout the session, it was the best. When the tabernacle choir sings it really sounds like angels are singing. I know that this church is true and that the Lord talks to us through his faithful servants, I am so grateful for this knowledge and the answers and peace it gives me.

 After Conference we walked across the street to our dinner reservations at The Garden overlooking the Salt Lake Temple.

 MMMMM :) still dreaming about the chocolate cake and ice cream.

 Our dinner view, gorgeous!!!

Cute Amy and my handsome Jeff!

We had a wonderful weekend and feel so blessed to share such special memories with family! I love my life and my in law family, I seriously lucked out!

Perfect weekend!

Farewell & Family.

This last Sunday was sweet Kylee Martin's mission farewell.

I just love this girl, she is hilarious, kind, true, and beautiful inside and out.

I know, without a doubt, that she will be an amazing missionary and I am so grateful for her influence in my life, it's been a real treat to dance with her.

 Love you Ky.

 After the farewell we went picture crazed...

I love Sundays because they are spent with family! Whether it's my family or Jeff's family, it's always a blast! 

Well I hope everyone had a productive Monday, I know that I did, stuffy nose, sore throat and all! :)

Weekly events...

Weekly happenings...

Our goal for the Lindsey was to raise $5,000 so she could get a kidney transplant, but we exceeded our goal and raised $6,150!!!! It was awesome!

After the concert on Monday we performed at the Tuacahn pre-show it was a blast and I love these girls!

After practice on Wednesday I came home to hot oatmeal chocolate chip cookies and ice cold milk. I've got the best husband ever...

 Friday we headed up to Timpanogos to do the videography for a wedding, on the drive up I captured this awesome picture! I love nature.

 Gorgeous.

 These doors are magical!

 Beautiful!!!

 Jeff looking adorable hard at work! It's so fun to be able to do something we enjoy together!!!

 After the temple pictures we headed to a lovely luncheon at the White Willow.

 Isn't it charming?

 I love the feeling of this beautiful old home.

 After all the wedding madness we stayed the night at family's house then left early this morning, BUT not without a Krispy Kreme stop. THEY SERIOUSLY MELT IN YOUR MOUTH!

 Our whole drive home was in pouring rain, it was so scary, but it made for really pretty pictures.

And I am glad to say that we made it home safe!

The older I get the more I realize just how beautiful life really is! We are blessed with beauty all around in all aspects: relationships, nature, food, weather, feelings, hopes, dreams and so forth.

I LOVE THIS LIFE!!!!

Elders and baby elders...

I've been busy with college, again.

So here are a few things that occupy the left over time after college...

 I teach hip hop every Tuesday evening and I love it! My classes are adorable and soak up every second of dance. After teaching I occasionally get to see this adorable babe!

 How can anybody resist????

 I look forward to letters from Elder Horlacher! Here is a picture of him and his district! :) So proud of my little brother. Follow his letters, pictures, and updates at his blog http://elderthorlacher.blogspot.com/

Trevor saw his cousin Jaden in the MTC!!! They play soccer together every chance they get!

 We watch football every weekend and I only agree to watching if we get a pizza and soda! Win win!

 Letters from Elder Hauck always uplift me! He's in Santa Marta, Brazil and is teaching a lot! Tomorrow he has three baptisms!!! Jose who is 90 years old, Sara is 55, and Philippe is 11, it's amazing to me that age is only a number in the work of the Lord!!! We all have our own timing and when we realize our reliance on faith in Jesus Christ and our Heavenly Father, miracles happen!

 Oh and I practice A LOT for our upcoming benefit concert for Lindsey! It's the perfect family night! Get your tickets from me today (I deliver) for $5!!! It's an amazing show full of the spirit of love, it's a great opportunity to give service in a fun way. Come check out something that I am so passionate about and I promise you won't be disappointed! Oh and Jeff is performing, playing guitar and singing while I get to dance to it, I'M BLESSED!!!

After all that updating, I'm ready to enjoy my weekend! 

HAPPY WEEKEND!!!! :)
