Well, well, well here I am updating you all on the happenings of my life. It might seem boring, but maybe I have a few things up my sleeve. Let's start with Saturday February 12th, Valentine's dinner with Trevor's family! It was such a fun night, I made all his nieces and nephews Valentines and we grubbed on steak, potatoes, asparagus and great dessert! It was a great night and I love hanging out with Trevor's family. Unfortunately I have no pictures from that night, but I promise I am trying to do better! Next Monday February 14th, Valentine's Day! The best Valentine's I have ever had was bungee jumping off a 165ft bridge with my two best, best friends, but this year was equally great! Trevor and I had a low key night and went to dinner at Sawadee, if you like Thai food and haven't eaten here I absolutely love it, after dinner we exchanged gifts and boy did I get spoiled, then watched a movie! It honestly couldn't have been a more perfect night. The week was definitely crazy for both of us, but we ended the week with a party at my parents for Alex's 31st birthday! It was fun to be with everyone and celebrate Alex. Things couldn't be better right now. Wednesday is Matt's 23rd, golden, birthday and I honestly don't know what to expect. for now just enjoy the pictures I did take!

River, Me and Trevor in front of my pink wall, cute huh?

The birthday boy, his haircut took the back seat to baby Sloane's birth!

We are goofs or dorks or both?!

XOXO, A

The Monday we got home from Hawaii we headed down to Provo that night to meet my new niece and the newest grandchild Sloane Byrd Knudsen. Trevor and I drove down and met some people over at Alex and Kathy's! It was an amazing night to say the least, I am so glad that I got to share it with Trevor! We were not only excited to meet Sloane, but to finally be together, I'll be honest it was a long ten days! Here are some photos from that night!

Hawaii.2011

A little over a week ago I was lying on the beach with my mom, dad, Meg, Indie, Corbin and Tosh. Watching the amazing surf, ocean blue water, surfers and other beach goers. Hard to believe I know.... Our 10 day trip to visit the Thomander crew was a great break from work and the cold weather. It was a trip filled with a lot of different things, but what I loved most was playing with Indie and Tosh! We became buddies and it was hard to leave them. Most our days were spent on the beach, sea kayaking (we saw 3 turtles and a baby hammer head shark), hanging out and just relaxing. One night my dad mom and I went to the night show at the PCC and it was so fun to see all the polynesians dancing and fire throwing it was amazing. Overall it was a great trip, but I was so excited to come home to my one and only Trevor! I wish I was still in the warm sun with them though! Thanks Meg and Corb for letting us crash your Hauula pad. Here are some pictures I didn't take as many as I would have liked, but enjoy anyways!!
