5 months!

Trevor and I have been married 5 months today! Holy Cow! Time is just flying by. Can I just say that I LOVE being married to Trevor. He is my very best friend and he knows me better than anyone else in the whole world (that could be a bad thing, but he loves me anyway). Trevor is the most fun guy ever, he is always coming up with the funnest ideas and is always surprising me. I just love him!

I have all of these orphan pictures that I meant to do a post on, but just got too busy. So i've adopted them into this "random past events" post.

I bet you can't name another person who owns a three man sleeping bag. Yep that's right. Trevor's brother Cody got us this awesome sleeping bag for our wedding. That's what gave us the idea to do the camping trip (refer to Camping 101).

It's a tradition in my family to go to the rodeo (Dixie Roundup) every Septemeber. I wasn't quite ready to let this tradition go, so I convinced Trevor to tag along with me this year. 

I think he liked it?

Best birthday present ever! Trevor is so cute and got us front row seats to see The Little Mermaid at Tuacahn. I absolutely loved it! I could tell we definitely had the best seats in the house when in the middle of "Under the Sea", Sebastian jumped off the stage and hugged (kind of attacked) us. Best part of the whole show.

Oscar's Cafe in Zion. Best breakfast ever. This may or may not have been on our honeymoon.

Trevor always has to get the picture with santa at the Nativity at Tuacahn. It's totally the same santa every year too. This new picture is my favorite though. Look at Trevor's hand, he's totally acting like he's besties with Santa.

I love him!

This was the first day I got my best friend back after being gone all summer. Of course we had to document it. Next to our wedding day, and getting engaged, this was the best day of my life.

Christmas Eve tradition: lunch at Panda Garden. This is such a fun tradition for my family.

Last year Trevor came with us when we were just dating. He ordered the Kung Pao chicken and I guess being in Germany for two years made him forget that you're not supposed to eat the little dark red peppers they have on the plate for decoration. Poor guy, his eyes were watering, and he had to drink five glasses of water before he could get rid of the spicyness. He was so cute, this was one of those little moments that got me hooked.

 These have been the best, funnest (is that a word) 5 months of my life!

Cowboy Trevor

My grandpa Lynn has had horses since my mom was a little girl, so I grew up with horses and the corrals just down the street from my house. Trevor, however, said he has only ridden a horse once in his life. I've been trying to get Trevor to go ride the horses down at my grandpa's ever since we started dating, but we just haven't had the opportunity. So over Christmas break, when my mom's friend asked if she wanted to go riding, I asked if Trevor and I could tag along. 

 He was such a natural! He got the horse all curried, cleaned out the horse's hooves, and even got him all saddled. 

Trevor said he wanted the most "thug" horse in the whole place. His horse's name was Tattoo, how fitting

It was such a fun day!

Oh Deer!

There has been a deer invasion at the White house.

One morning I woke up, and went into the kitchen to make some breakfast. I could hear something in our backyard, so I went to the window to check it out.

Scared me to death!

 These were the two guys who started it all, then they went back and told their little deer friends and now we have five of them. 

 This guy likes to chill out on our front porch

 They're kind of like our family pets now. They all have names and everything.

I may or may not have been feeding them carrots. I'm hoping the whole "if you feed them, they'll keep coming back" cat theory applies here

Christmas Time [Before and After]

Trevor and I started dating in September of 2010, so we got to spend last Christmas together dating. It was such a fun time, I was already so in love with Trevor and I knew he was the one for me, so that made Christmas time even better to be with him. This Christmas, now that we are married it's like we're having our first Christmas all over again. After we put up our Christmas tree, I was comparing pictures of last Christmas with this Christmas, and as you can probably tell we definitely stepped it up a notch on the Christmas tree decorating this year!

We didn't exactly have a normal "tree stand" last year so we had to improvise.

(no we didn't tie our christmas tree to the ceiling this year)

before vs. after

Got wisdom teeth?

I sure don't! 

I got my wisdom teeth out this morning. It was quite the process. Not the actual taking them out part, just the whole stressing leading up to it part. My sweet father-in-law is a dentist and I was going to have him take them out, but I'm kind of a little (gigantic) chicken, so I pulled out the big guns. I went to an oral surgeon and got put under. Everything went great and now I'm at home with my amazingly perfect husband (he's taking such good care of me).

Trevor got to sit in the operatory room with me while they prepped me and put me under.  The last thing I remember before they injected the medicine to put me under was hearing Trevor say I love you, and then woke up to him holding my hand. He's the love of my life.

I've looked better.

I don't remember much at all after I woke up until about a half hour after I got home. Apparently some funny stuff happened. When the oral surgeon and some of the assistants were giving Trevor instructions on how to take care of me I guess I was rambling off some quotes from Rocky.... Not too ashamed. It's a good movie. Also, we have a little friend at the Wendy's here in cedar. We don't know her name but Trev refers to her as Alice. She is quite the character and always makes trips to Wendy's fun. But I guess she was making a big deal about me being knocked out in the passenger seat with ice packs on my cheeks. Trevor tried to explain.

p.s. 3 months today! what a great way to spend your 3 month anniversary of being married.

Oh Christmas Tree, Oh Christmas Tree

This last weekend Trevor and I went with his family to cut down christmas trees! We went up Parowan Canyon and luckily Trevor and I found the perfect one!  

This picture cracks me up... it totally looks like it could be in the movie Christmas Vacation

My Husband = Christmas Home Decorator

Trevor is definitely getting into the christmas mood this year. It all started with putting up the christmas tree, and then lead to various other items around the house (all his idea, WAY impressed)

Then one day, he started cutting off limbs from the stump of our christmas tree. I guess I didn't catch the vision at first... so Trevor just went to town and did the whole thing by himself. He is so awesome and these cute little snow men turned out so perfect!  

The finished product. Mr. and Mrs. Snowman. (guess who's is who's)

Mission Accomplished

I have such a happy place when I'm cooking in the kitchen, singing and dancing to music. It seems like the food always turns out better when you're listening to a good song. My usual song of choice is this (best ever, try it out), but now that it's Christmas time Trevor and I busted out Anne Murray and all of the other Christmas goods. So I have been WAY in the cooking mood lately with all of this fun music playing. 

Ever since I first started dating Trevor, I have love loved his mom's chicken noodle soup, and was determined to try making it someday. When we got married I was lucky enough to get the golden Satterthwaite family cook book.. (this may or may not be among some of the reasons I married Trevor).. so now I had my chance. It definitely doesn't compare with Kris and Julie's, but I totally did it!

Trevor was so cute and helped me out the whole time.

Then of course we had to finish it off with a game of rummy. Such a fun night!

I have a confession..

Okay so.... this story is completely ridiculous, but just go with it. 

Whenever Trevor and I play scrabble he sometimes (ALL the time) beats me. The first couple of times it was like, okay whatever Trev you're smart. But now it's a real problem. I have yet to beat him and it is causing great emotional stress. Lately, whenever we play I sometimes (ALL the time) end up in tears. Ridiculous I know. But how the heck would you feel if your husband was a genius and never let you win a game ever in your life and you feel like the dumb one in the relationship. The last game we played was especially bad (he beat me by 150 points) and I threatened to throw away the game. I may or may not have cried in my room a little.. when I got over myself I went to find Trevor and tell him I'm really not a drama queen and this is what I found....

I kind of like scrabble now.
