Garren's Birthday/Becoming Domestic

This is the band!
So Garren's 22 birthday was last Friday. It was one of the best days ever! First I made him a yummy breakfast and gave him his present. It's a Fossil Watch. He has been saying he needs a watch for months and every time he brings it up I tell him he doesn't  need one... only because I have been planning on getting him one for just as long. Basically he thought I was really rude for telling him he didn't need it :P

Any way then HE game ME a present. What the heck! Ha ha He is so funny. I was definitely suprised. He got me gorgeous pearl earings and a rose gold band that I can wear to work so I don't have to wear my wedding ring (I am afraid the pearl is getting beat up.)

After we got ready for the day we went down to St. George. Our first stop was the temple where we had the opportunity to do sealings. This was the first time we have done this since getting married (or since ever..) it was amazing. Knowing we were helping families be together forever was so fullfilling. I love going to the temple, especially with my Husband.

Then we went to Lazer Mania and played Lazer Tag and Miniature Golf. This was the first time I have ever played lazer tag, it was only the two of us in the whole place and it was SO fun. I was actually kind of scared.... he beat me but not by tooo much :) He beat me in miniature golf too but thats ok because look at this sick picture I got!
There was a spiderman themed hole :)






Then we went back to Cedar to his parents house to eat the ice cream cake I made. It was completely out of scratch... and quite the challenge but it turned out great!


Side note: Tonight my relief society made the cutest wreaths! Here is mine :)

Married For 6 Weeks!




Lasagna I made! 
We have officially been married for 6 weeks. When I said this to Garren he said "One transfer!" Love him. We have gotten into a pretty good routine of balancing our jobs and time with each other. We are basically amazing cooks :) We go grocery shopping ever Saturday and have an entire weeks full of meals planned. We also go on a date every week. We didn't even do that when we were dating or engaged. I love it. I love being married to my best friend.

Tostadas that Garren made!
Last night we went to the Utah Summer Games opening. We were so close to the fireworks I was almost scared. They were amazing! I have been sick this week and Garren has seriously risen to the occasion. He has been so amazing at taking care of me, and forcing me to take it easy. Its so weird. After being on my own for 4 years, its a strange feeling having some one WANT to take care of you. I am constantly apologizing to him for all he has had to do, and I am pretty sure if I try to say sorry one more time he will tickle me to death (that is his threat.) I think I am getting better and letting some one help me though. Progress :)
Us at the Summer Games Opening!

Mara taught me how to make a pillow today! This is my very first one. Now I want a sewing machine more than anything. Why must my birthday and Christmas be in December?! Oh well I will just use Mara's till December!
My first Pillow :)


I just asked Garren how he feels about being married and he said " Fantastic, its wonderful, a challenge."

I am not exactly sure what he meant by that last part :P

We are throwing my sister a baby shower tomorrow. By we I mean Garren is cooking food for it. He got really into planning it. I am seriously the luckiest woman in the world :)
