Grant and I celebrated our one year anniversary. We were in Lake Powell over our "real" anniversary (can't really complain about a free vacation) so we didn't get to really celebrate. Although Grant and I had Wendy's on our wedding night and we did in fact have Wendy's on our one year anniversary. That's real celebration right there! haha Anyway we decided to celebrate the next weekend. All I wanted to do was sealings and a nice date with my husband. So that is exactly what we did. We went to the temple in the afternoon and then headed to the Lion House for a yummy dinner. We went home and had a yummy dessert and took in the nice summer air, star gazed in our backyard and just talked. It was such a great day, simple and relaxing just the way I like it.
Next, my parent's bought my family tickets to see Wicked for Christmas last year. We were so excited to finally enjoy that present. I had never seen the play before and I absolutely LOVED it. It was incredible and I was seriously obsessed with the music after. I think the songs were stuck in my head for weeks. It was a perfect night out with the parents and siblings. Family nights will never disappoint.
Grant and I got a new niece in September and she is soo dang cute. I honestly cannot get enough of her. She was born September 5th and gave her mom a run for her money. My sister is such an amazing women and delivered little Avery without her husband present. My brother in law Kyle was in Basic Training for the Army and until this past week, had not met his little girl. They are an adorable little family and I am so happy for them. I know that Kyle and Chels are both incredible parents and Avery Lynne is one of the luckiest little girls alive. She honestly is not lacking in the love department :)
Also in September, our good friend Maddie and Weston invited us to the state fair. It was such a blast to just people watch and enjoy a night out. Honestly, the state fair is just a different place. The crowd, the food, entertainment, all of it is just great. It never disappoints.
I know that all of this is random and does not really flow but oh well. Next on the list is a wonderful hike up to Elephant rock. I will be honest, moving to Bountiful when we first got married was a real struggle for me. I know that Sandy is only 30 minutes away and I can go there all of the time, but it was just different. I can now proudly say that I LOVE it here and can see why Davis county people never leave haha. There are so many great things up this direction and don't even get me started on the views. Grant and I decided to go for a hike after work one Friday. It was the perfect free and fun date! We packed pb & j's and ate dinner up on the giant rock. It was the perfect way to bring in fall.

Another thing we did was get family pictures taken with Grant's family. Grant's one little brother just got home from a mission in June for Halifax Canada and his other little brother (when I say little brothers, I mean BIG brothers just younger haha) left on Wednesday for Boston Massachussetts for a two year mission for the LDS church. I am so proud of his decision to go and I know he will be one incredible missionary!!
Lastly, we made grape juice! When we bought our house we loved the backyard and all of the fun things that come with it but I never realized how much I would love our garden area. In our garden area there are multiple fruit trees and 4 grape vines. We are talking long big grape vines haha. I underestimated how much fun it would be to grow our own fruit and reap the rewards of doing so. Grant's sweet Grandma and Grandpa came over to our house, helped picked grapes and stayed up all night teaching us how to make grape juice! It is the yummiest most delicious grape juice I have ever had and plus it is pure and so healthy, no sugar, nothin!
