Our First Christmas...

This Christmas was so much fun... It was our first Christmas as a Married couple and I loved every minute of it!! We spent Christmas Eve with my mom at her house/our house... We woke up around 8:30 and made breakfast and opened gifts. We were very spoiled!! Then we got ready and headed over to Matt's house for presents. Where we were spoiled some more. We hung out there pretty much all day, we got to talk to Erika on gmail video chat. It was fun to see her and the cute little baby, even though it was a little blurry! Then we headed over to my dads house to say hi before coming home to get into our comfy pj's to lounge and clean up our mess at my mom's house. (We had our Christmas with my dad last Sunday and we exchanged gifts on that day. Again.. Spoiled!) We had a pretty eventful day, it was so much fun to be with all of our family and open gifts and give our gifts. But the best present I got was a call from Mikey and a sweet Christmas letter that he wrote to me. I miss him so much but he sounds like he is doing fabulous! I'm so proud of him and I can't wait to hear his voice again on Mothers day.. Well here are a few pictures that we took yesterday. Enjoy!

Wow..

I have been terrible at blogging lately, but what do you do when you have nothing exciting to blog about?! haha. Here is an update... Matt and I moved in with my mom a few weeks ago, just right before Thanksgiving. We are living in the basement and it has been great so far! :) We love having the extra money every month and it is fun being here with my mom and Sean.

We went with Matt's family to Cali again this year for Thanksgiving. It was nice to get away and be with the family. Unfortunately, all the pictures were taken on other peoples camera's and not my own... so I have none!

Just the other night I got together with a bunch of girls that I work with and had a little party! One of our favorite nurses in the world moved to Arizona... :( I do have some pictures of that night that I will post!

As for pictures of Matt and I.. haha I am no longer photo happy these days! But I suppose I should fix that! Matt is doing great, he is just finishing up his first semester of school.. He has decided that he is most likely going to become a PA so he is gearing his classes in that direction for now! Who knows, it might change..?? But I think that he would do great in that profession! Anyway, nothing else to really report on. Thanks for reading! :)

Tis' the Season!

I cant believe that it is already November... this year has FLOWN by! I'm super excited for the holidays! Alot of firsts for Matt and I, and I cant wait! We are planning on heading to Cali again this year for Thanksgiving with his family. Last year we went we had so much fun, Grandma is going to be missed this year that is for sure!

I'm really excited to decorate our place for Christmas.. Matt wont let me put a tree up until after Thanksgiving though.. So mean! haha I want to start some new traditions for Matt and I, I want to hear some of all my fellow bloggers... Let me know what your favorite traditions are and maybe Matt and I will take those up this year!

I started a work out program that my wonderful husband has set up for me and Lex. Holy smokes.. It is so nice to feel like you have worked hard! I cant wait to feel like I'm in better shape.. and to top it all off VOLLEYBALL is starting tomorrow! Holy Moses, I cant wait! I haven't played since last year! So depressing! We are playing in the Spanish Fork league as we have the past 3 years and hopefully we will do better this year than we did last year! HA!

Well thats all I have for now.. sorry it's a boring post with no pictures... I haven't been taking any lately! And if I do I take them on my phone and just post them on facebook so if you are itching to see some pictures just check my FB. :) Love you all! HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

My Sexy Biker Dude.

Matt has been doing a lot of riding on his new bike lately and last weekend him and his friend Brett hiked their bikes up to the top of Maple Mountain.. Yes they are crazy! It took them 6.5 hours to get to the top and 1.5 hours to ride down! They were both really exhausted and sick after and it will probably never happen again so it's a good thing they got a lot of good pictures! Here are a few...

Long time no blog...

I haven't posted anything in a really long time.. I'm a terrible blogger! But to fill you in on the happenings in the Lovelace home... We have been keeping busy. Me with work and Matt with work and school. I cant begin to tell you all how nice it is not having two jobs anymore. Doing hair at Amber's and Glenn's has been amazing!

We went camping with Matt's family a few weeks ago up Payson canyon. Matt took me on my first down hill ride. It was scary but I'M ALIVE! It was so pretty up there, I love the fall!

Becky and Steve finally tied the knot on Oct. 2nd. She looked beautiful and Steve looked alright I guess. :) It was a great day.

I can't think of anything else to post. We aren't too exciting these days. Work and school take up most of our time these days so it's nice when we can get a way for a few days. But it doesn't happen very often! Anyway, that's it for now!

The "Good Stuff"

Today I was at work (shocking I know..) and I went to Music Therapy with some of the girls at the Center. They listened to a song, The Good Stuff by Kenny Chesney, and then they were asked to write down what their "Good Stuff" was. I participated with them and thought it was a really amazing thing to just sit and list the things that make you happy... the simple pleasures in life! So.. I figured I would blog about MY GOOD STUFF!

1. Of course, number one is spending time with my cute husband.

2. Music.

3. Playing my guitar and singing... either by myself or with friends!

4. Christmas morning with my family

5. Getting my hair played with and my back tickled before falling asleep at night.

6. Giving someone a gift or doing a service for someone. Seeing how happy it makes them is priceless.

7. Diet Coke in combination with yummy Chips and Salsa! (Preferably from Joe's or Chili's)

8. Going to the movies, getting buttery popcorn and a Diet Coke with my hubby

9. Holding a baby.. better yet.. snuggling with a baby!

10. Being with my family.

11. Sitting in a good church meeting or fireside and feeling that undeniable feeling.

12. Pinching Matty's hair and kissing his head.. I know I'm odd. But it's GOOD STUFF!

13. Listening to someone play the guitar and sing... (if they are good of course)

14. Reading a great book that you just cant put down!

15. Laying out by the pool with a good book and a good friend!

16. Getting together with friends and reminiscing about our crazy fun pasts!

17. Doing someone's hair and having them leave happier then when they came in.

18. Sleeping in with my husband by my side.

19. Playing Volleyball (sad that this has moved so far down my list...)

20. Playing Volleyball with CLOSE FRIENDS!

21. Laughing so hard that your stomach hurts. "If conversation were the lyrics, Laughing would be the music"

22. Staying up late and watching a movie in bed with my hubby.

23. Listening to church hymns on Sunday mornings.

24. Mom's roast beef dinner on Sunday nights!

25. Spending time with papa bear.

26. Laughing out loud while watching a movie!

... and the list goes on!

It really is amazing how happy it makes me just thinking about my "Good Stuff".. I know some of you might think it's a little cheesy, but I encourage you to try it out. See how it makes YOU feel! LOVE LIFE... Peace.

The Big Day...

"Amberlee and Christian's Wedding"

My Superman...

Yeah... He's pretty much amazing! We went out to dinner with Glenn, Amber and Tyce last weekend and there was a balloon on the ceiling that Tyce wanted. So Matt, being the amazing uncle that he is, flew up and got it for him! I thought this picture turned out pretty sweet! I'm a fan!

Amberlee's Bridal Shower

Amberlee is getting married in 2 weeks and we are all so excited for her! We had a bridal shower for her last Wednesday over at Savanna's house. We had so much fun being together with everybody and catching up. Amb got some pretty sexy little outfits and some other useful items... ;) I just love this girl so much and I cant believe we are both going to be married now! It seems like just yesterday we were out in the clubs! :) Oh good times... Anyway, here are a few more pictures and there will be pictures posted of the wedding for sure!

Lovin' Summer

So this summer hasn't been as exciting as most of yours have been... alot of work and not enough play! I did get to lay out with Amberlee for the first time this summer over the weekend! It felt amazing... I miss going to St. George every other weekend to play in the sun with the girls! Matt and I got to hang out this weekend, it was nice not having to work for a day. We went out to Tucano's. It was very good, but I got oh so very sick! Too much good food for one sitting! Anyway, I hope that I get to squeeze in at least one more vacation before the summer comes to an end... Matt sold his car finally and is looking for a truck! He started working at Ruby River and he is enjoying it. On a sad note... I quit my job at the salon! :( I really didn't want to but I'm too busy right now and the salon is so slow it has just been a waste of time really. I will still be doing hair so no need to worry if you are one of my faithful clients. So if you want your hair done just call or text my cell phone! Welp, thats the update for now! Here are a couple pics!

Lake Powell!

It's official... I am no longer a Lake Powell virgin! I went for the first time last weekend! We went with Becky and Steve and Kim, Adam and her cute little girl Maddy. We had a such a fun time out on the Lake. It was super hot and if you weren't in the water you were dripping sweat but it was still perfect! We stayed in Page in a hotel which was nice, I was glad I got to go home and shower and the end of the day. We ate at some yummy restaurants and just enjoyed being in the sun! I just love going on vacation with my sweet hubby... we have such a good time. We were the youngest couple there and the only married ones. It was pretty sweet! :) Too bad all fun vacations have to come to an end and we have to go back to work... but I guess that's life! Until next time....

Pool Time!

Summer Fun!

It was so fun spending time with Erika and her sweet little boys these past couple months! I'm so sad that they had to leave and go back to the Netherlands! Hopefully we will get to see them again soon! Here are just a few pictures that we took the night before they left... we had a little BBQ and swim party/water fight. 

UpDaTe...

So Matt and I have been married now for a full MONTH! Can you believe it! I cant believe how fast time is flying by...

Being married is great! We have so much fun together at our little apartment.... haha it's such a cozy little place and it's easy to keep clean. In the last month we have just been working and trying to get everything we need into our place and just spending some good quality time together! 

I have loved every minute of being married... Matt is so wonderful he cooks, and he even CLEANS! I feel so blessed and I cant wait to spend many more months to come with my handsome hubby! :)
