a tag about us...

What are your middle names? Jakes is Boyd (after his Grandpa) and I don't have one

How long have you been together? Well...if you count high school and all...4 and 1/2 years (with a mission in between that)

How long did you know each other before you started dating? about 8 months

Who asked who out? Jake asked me to be his girlfriend one day and sent me a cute song by email! :) He was a senior and I was a sophomore in high school so I couldn't imagine that he would like me! I know sounds kinda cheesy but it was cute and to this day we both still love that song!

Whose siblings do you see the most? about half and half, my siblings are all in provo and Jake has two siblings here and two out of state. We need to get them to all move back home!

Do you have any children together? not yet, but someday for sure! :)

What about pets? No thanks! We aren't pet people. Besides my mother-in-law and brother are both allergic.

Did you go to the same school? Same high school and now same college!

Who is the most sensitive? that would be me for sure...I like to blame it on all the years of acting and drama, ha!

Where do you eat out most as a couple? hmm...we try to switch it up when we eat out but we have some favorties. Paradise Cafe or Mimi's are both yummy!

Where is the furthest you have ever traveled as a couple? California

Who has the worst temper? neither of us really have a bad temper, which I like!

Who does the cooking? mostly me, but Jake is a great helper! :)

Who is more social? I would say that we are both social, we are both a little quieter (don't know if that's a word) at first but once we get to know you we will be very social! Jake has an awesome sense of humor and says the funniest most "punny" sense of humor...love it!

Who is the neat freak? that would be me!

Who is the most stubborn? it depends on the situation on this one

Who hogs the bed? neither really, we are pretty good to stay to our sides, although I have woke up with Jakes head on my pillow a few times, ha!

Who wakes up earlier? Jake, he has classes earlier but I soon follow!

Where was your first date? Well...I asked Jake out first! Its a funny story so I will tell it! Our high school in the fall would do a thing called "deer tag" where the girls would tag the boys with a "tag" slip, since it was hunting season, and I knew a LONG time before the actual deer tag that I wanted to tag Jake. You get the tags in your first period monday morning so...I left class early to find out where Jake was (he was in seminary) and I stood outside the door at the seminary and jumped out and tagged him! I thought for the longest time that he thought I was a weirdo for doing that, turns out it thought it was cute! ha! Our school rented out a theater and we saw the Grudge...I know romantic huh?!

Who has the bigger family? Jake

Do you get flowers often? Yes! :) He is a sweetheart and has surprised me with flowers numerous times!

Who eats more? Probably Jake

Who sings better? We were both in choir together and love to sing! Jake has an amazing voice, I sometimes wish I was as good as he is, he can harmonize with ANY song and I love when he does! And when he plays the guitar and sings at the same time...I love that!

Who does the laundry? I do!

Who is better with the computer? This one goes to Jake! He is amazing with electronic stuff. Me, not so much!

Who drives when you are together? Jake does!

Who picks where you go to dinner? We both do, this is always a struggle because we are both VERY indecisive people so sometimes it takes a while to decide where to go!

Who is the first one to admit when they are wrong? That would be Jake, he is just amazing! I need to be more like him!

Who wears the pants in this relationship? I would say that we each have a leg in the pants!

Who eats more sweets? hmm...this would be tie we both love treats! Especially now the holidays coming...we could be in trouble! ha ha

Who cries more? Me for sure! I don't cry often but Jake, he doesn't cry at all!

What's your best day together? I LOVE friday nights and saturdays for sure!

Where did you honeymoon? We went to sunny san diego and stayed in my aunts amazing condo...thanks again lulu and mike

Favorite date night? Dinner and getting a red box movie, this happens to be what we do the most frequently but I LOVE it!

Favorite TV show to watch together? The Office, hands down!

Couple I imagine us growing old like? There are lots of cute old couples out there, I just want us to be happy, healthy, and even that much more in love! <3

I tag...Aunt Julie, Katie, Brittany, Barabara, Stephanie, Hannah, and Candace! :)

.halloween decorations.

A few weeks ago I saw the cutest thing in a boutique store. I first thought...that would look so cute on my shelf...and then my second thought after looking at the price was...I bet I could make that! And I did! I made this cute little SCARY the other day and I LOVE it on my shelf and now feel like I can jump on into the fun or decorating for halloween!

displayed on my shelf...I love it!

A close up!

I love Halloween!

*** On a side note: I have some leftover glitter from doing these letter...so...let me know if you would like me to make you some! We could do any "halloweeny" type of words like: goblin, spooky, boo, halloween, or trick or treat! Let me know if would like some! Happy Haunting!

(I did 2 posts in one night...I know, I know crazy! Check out my fun birthday festivities below!)

My 21st Birthday

I turned 21 on September 28 and we had one awesome partay! I can't believe I am 21..that is still crazy for me to believe! Jake did an AMAZING job planning my birthday and made the whole day so special. Thanks to my Mom also who helped and to both my parents for letting us use the house! (our apartment is just a little tight for all of those people) Starting off with a sweet card in the morning, to when I came home from work and found a beautiful flower arrangement, to dinner at Paradise Cafe and then a fun party to finish the night off at my parents home! I was definitely spoiled by everybody!

Beautiful flowers from the hubs

The sash Jake got for me to wear...ha!

Making a wish...and blowing out the candles
