I love you so so so much!

Oh, and who could forget the cutest, bestest little Valentine of all??

Notice how he is not smiling in any of these pictures.

Well, it took a lot out of him just to get a couple of good ones.

The rest look like this:

Our poor guy is just having a rough Valentine's Day.

Hopefully he will feel better when we go out on a little family date tonight!

Happy Valentine's Day, everyone!

Geocaching

***Warning! This post contains spoilers of geocaching sites and containers. Continue at your own risk, you hardcore geocachers!***

Last night, Austin and I went on a date.

He had this date planned all week long, and stood-his-ground by not telling me what we were doing; even though I tried to get it out of him a countless number-of-times.

So finally, as we were pulling out of our driveway last night, Austin told me we were geocaching!

For any of you who don't know what geocaching is, the website describes it as:

"... a high-tech treasure hunting game played throughout the world by adventure seekers equipped with GPS devices. The basic idea is to locate hidden containers, called geocaches, outdoors and then share your experiences online. Geocaching is enjoyed by people from all age groups, with a strong sense of community and support for the environment."

So, this is exactly what we did!

And let me tell you, we were definitely beginners.

Luckily, there are some hidden containers located in our neighborhood, surrounding neighborhoods, and nearby deserts.

And yes, these are rated the easiest of easies!

To begin, the first two hunts that we attempted were epic failures...

[This is my attempt at a sad face after we gave up trying to find the second one.]

BUT, when it came to our third hunt, we finally had some success!

The treasure was a toy skunk.

We thought this was real cute since the name of this hunt was, 
"A Real Stinker."

Our fourth hunt had us passing through this:

After about an hour of searching through the desert with our flashlights, 
we finally decided to go onto the next one.

Like I said, we are definitely beginners.

However, our last two hunts were successful [maybe because they were very easy-finds].

We had so much fun geocaching and recommend it to just about anyone!

If you are beginners, like us, they have hints and clues as to 

where to find the treasure.

Austin and I definitely plan on going again. 

I am sure that we can do better than our 3/6 that we found this time.

Oh, and once we were done being hardcore geocachers...

 ...we grabbed some burgers, snuck them into Harkins, and enjoyed eating our little feast while watching HP7.

It sure was the best date ever; with the best man ever.

To Celebrate... Or Not to Celebrate...?

Do any of you know who this man is??

...
........
...

It is Dave Elkins; the lead singer of Mae.

Austin and I celebrated our One Year Anniversary by going and watching them play!

Just before the concert, we went and grabbed a bite to eat:

Then we headed to watch and sing along to this:

They put on a fantastic show!

It is Austin's all-time favorite band and he just loved every single minute of it.

However... all we could talk about, think about, and cry about [me being the crier] was our little guy back at home.

We could not stand being away from our sweet boy!

Major separation anxieties were occurring; making us wish we had just celebrated our anniversary at home.

We will never do that again.

[Even if he was completely out of it the entire time.]

One Year

Exactly one year ago, I married this man...

It was honesty the best decision I have ever made.

HAPPY ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY SWEETHEART!♥

Birthday Post = One Week Late

My precious husband gave me roses.

21 years old!

How come the only picture that is blurry is the one of Austin and I??

 The best parents in the entire world.

My cute little brother, Kevin.

My newly-pregnant sister, Kristel. Yay!

The cute couple, Kelly and Forrest. 

Happy Birthday to the baby in my tummy! Hopefully soon...

For my birthday dinner, Austin took me out to this delicious new Italian restaurant, La Calabria.

For my family birthday dinner, we ate at one of our favorites, Logan's Roadhouse.

We also had cake and ice cream with Austin's family! It sure was yummy.

I think it is safe to say that this was the best birthday I have ever had.
Thank you everyone for making it so special!

Our Life as of Lately...

Austin and I are about a little more than halfway done with this semester.

We are chugging right along with school, work, and homework.

Our challenge is finding time for just each other!

[But, we are somehow managing it.]♥

My Baby is always working so very hard.

This is what happened when he found out I was taking pictures.

In addition to all of the busy fun we've been having, we like to try some fun new recipes.

[Super yummy enchiladas found here.]

A little late, but this is what arrived at our door the day before Valentine's Day.

We had the most amazing Valentine's Weekend ever!

And that is all for now.♥

Have a beautiful Sabbath!
