A Twist on Bouquets

I was always feeling bad that Ben could suprise me with a beautiful boquet of flowers but I was never able to do that for him. I finally found something else I could do for him! A Bouquet of Beverages!  This is a great idea to do for Valentine's day or for Anniversary! It's just a little something that means a lot! 

Broccoli Soup

Yummy Soup! 

First start cooking the broccoli until it is soft.

Next, Melt half a cube of butter and then mix in a half a cup of flour.

Dice up the broccoli into small pieces and then set aside.

Add milk to the flour and butter mix. Add until it is more liquid and soup like. After, add a cup 1/2 of graded cheese. Then add the broccoli. Then, you are ready to serve! 

So... I have to admit... I ended up burning this batch of soup. This was the first time I burnt my Broccoli soup... such a rough day! It takes quite a while to make this soup and I was really upset that it got burnt. My sweet husband was amazing and still ate the soup. Accept the next time I asked if he wanted me to make Broccoli soup, he said, "No" :) I did appreciate that he was still willing to eat it even though all you could taste was a burnt flavor. Just don't be like me and actually watch your soup closely so that it does not burn!! 

Happy Fall Y'all!

Out West

What a great trip to Utah! So many events... we are so blessed we were able to make it to everything!

Wedding, H2O Run, and BYU Games, and Family time! 

Sweet little thing was the flower girl at the wedding!! 

 I love this picture of Ben and Poppy! Loves her uncle

This run was a special one to me. It was for my nephew Ollie, who drowned in water. It was also for all those who have lost a loved one... they could run in their memory. I did this for Ollie and he helped me get through the run! I am so grateful for family and the chance we have to see our family again! 

The family at the race! What a great day! Ollie would have loved it. There was a fire truck spraying down the runners as they crossed the line. There was music, prizes, and food! 

He looks good when he runs!!

The ballon arch we at the finish line! We both did really well... 5k... 27 minutes. Not to bad for our first run. We are doing this run next year so hopefully by then we can do a lot better time!! 

Kissy Face

Go Cougars!! I was a total fan and went to the game ( early) and right before the game started a miroburst came right to us. It started raining to hard! I was worn out and wet... so I went home. I should have stayed because it was one of the best games... oh well, at least Ben got to see the game :) 

Gina, Kelsey and Me and the Due West concert



We are so lucky to spend time with all our family members! I am so blessed to able to spend time with those I love!

Playlist

I haven't done a playlist in a while... So here is one for the road.



 

Home Sweet Home!

I am so happy to be home!! I forgot how much I missed my house! It was a long road being away in Utah.

We are so lucky to live in this awesome basement! It is such a nice place! There is a lot of space and it feels like home. We have two bedrooms... for all of our friends who would like to come visit.. we have a bed made just for you!!! 

This is our wedding wall! Just finished putting up the pictures.. took a while, but I am just happy it's done! Ben was awesome at positioning the pictures so they were just right.

Our cute little bed! I love our light blue sheets and the gray bedspread! I am so happy to have my own bed back!!  

I had a great time in Utah! It was so nice being with my family for four months.... but I'm glad to be back.... Home Sweet Home!! 

P.s. I'M GRADUATED!!! It's official, I got my diploma!!!! 

Porter Rockwell

It's been awhile since I have posted.... I have been busying with school. I am officially a UVU college GRADUATE!!! yah! What a relief to be finished. It was tough leaving Ben in Nashville, but I'm happy to be done. 

Since I was in Utah for over 3 months I was able to spend some quality time with my family. I even there for my dad's debut as Porter Rockwell. I have to brag about my dad for a little! He is the most amazing man! He may look like the roughest, toughest guy in these pictures but he is quite the opposite. I am so lucky to have such a great example in my life! Today is my dad's birthday.... so this is a perfect time to brag about him winning this look-a-like competition for Porter Rockwell.

This beard is all him! He has been growing it out for sometime now. I saw a picture of him without it and I didn't even recognize him... it was really strange. I wonder how long he will keep growing it. Maybe he can even be Santa in a couple years :) 

He stayed in charter the whole day! 

He even came to the movies with us as Porter Rockwell. Love it!
