Weekend Update

Status

In May Mandi and I were married in the

SLC temple. It was so amazing and we love being able to go back to the temple and look at our wedding pictures to help remind us of the amazing day we had on the 23rd of May. Since then we've each been making our own adjustments to married life, trying to balance schedules, habits, likes/dislikes and family activities. All in all it's been great though!

Mandi is back in school working toward her Fine Arts & Teaching degree at UVU. She is also working at Hobby Lobby (@ the District), which has it's pro's and con's. Painting is definitely one of Mandi's main talents and loves in life. She could spend most of the day painting away at different styles and

ideas she has in her head. She has won a few awards recently for some of her artwork and will be featured in a 2010 calendar published by Alpine City. I like to boast that I've hired my own "in-house" artist, something not many people have. :)

For me it's mostly been about work, studying for the GMAT and trying to find time to relax through exercising and organizing our flat. No one can ever say to me, "well, you just don't know what it's like to be the one who cleans and cooks everyday," cause I do. Really though, I don't mind doing it, I just wish I had more time to cook and that Mandi had more time to enjoy a nice dinner with me before hurrying to do some homework.

SNL

One of my all-time most favorite video clips/segments of TV shows. If you don't get it the first time or simply don't laugh, just watch it over a few times and it should hit you by then.

Old School Amanda

For Presidents day I went up to my parents house with my beautiful bride, Amanda, and my cousin Goober. Whilst there my mom had me grab a few items out of the old Halloween box, two of which were these vintage dresses that she wore back in the early 1920's. :)

I never knew Mandi could be so excited to try on such a thing.

Mandi was born to be a disco woman!

Dawgs

So, the other day Mandi and I were at her house and we found a nice little remote control car and decided to play with it. Poor Sammy didn't know where to go so she decided to just jump up on my lap. :)

The New and Old Fettish

So, last weekend we decided to watch an episode of 24 since we had just that amount of time before Mandi had to leave to go home. Consequently, we have watched about 6 - 7 hours of 24 since.

Who can dispute that Jack Bauer is just amazing! If you haven't started to watch 24 as of yet, go on to Hulu.com and get caught up as this is a fantastic season.

-Cheers-

Dancing???

I never would've thought that I would attend a Masquerade ball, but sure enough we went. The ball was a charity put on by the local community action, so it was a good cause none-the-less.

The masks are uniquely made by us. I am also now a vintage masquerade dancer, having learned two classic dances. I thought about becoming an instructor, but my time is a little short right now. Maybe when I retire.

Mandi accomplished something that no one else has been able too-big surprise uh :)- I danced!! It was really awkward at first, but my mask gave me special powers that helped me move like I was born to dance. If only I danced as well as I eat brownies, then that would be a true accomplishment.

The Joys of Being Engaged

So, we have now been engaged for two months and ten days, and we are very anxious for the big day to come! Six and a half months is way too long to wait. We don't suggest long engagements for anyone.
But, life is pretty peachy, despite the stress of being in school and planning a wedding at the same time.
Recent updates: Steve cut his hair again. I moved to Alpine to save some mula. All of our friends are getting engaged and married before us. And that is all.
So ends our second post of our lives. Stay tuned for more to come, but I am tired of blogging now so cheers!:)
