Parade of Homes

So this past week Mark and I decided to do the Salt Lake Parade of Homes.  It was so much fun looking at all the cool (and weird!) houses.  Even though we just bought our house a few months ago, it made me wish that we could get a brand new one!  Oh well.. at least it gave me some decorating ideas for the future!  I wish I would have taken more pictures, but there were so many houses that we went to it was crazy!

Of course the highlight of the whole thing was the "Up" house.  It was so cute and it's so much like the movie.  I can't actually imagine living there though--you wouldn't be able to make it your own!   It would still be fun to stay there for a day.

St. George Anniversary and SURPRISE!

Mark and I were able to celebrate our 1 year wedding anniversary in St. George.  I can't believe it's already been a year--it went by so fast, and I can't wait for more years to come!

We drove down after we got off of work on Saturday evening and went straight to bed after we checked in at the motel. 

On Sunday we went to church with Mark's aunt and uncle who lived close by.  We skipped out after sacrament meeting and took a nice long nap at the motel which was so nice.  They had us over for dinner which was super yummy and it saved us some money too! We stayed for a bit after dinner and they showed us all of their scrapbooks from all of their various cruises and trips.

Monday was the day where we had everything planned.  We went golfing--it was my first time-- and I pretty much sucked it up!  Mark says I did really well for my first time, but it was so frustrating!  I threw a few clubs and almost ruined one.. :P haha

On Monday night we went to Tuacahn to see The Little Mermaid.  It was soooo cool with all of the special effects!  It's one of my favorite Disney movies and seeing it live on stage was so awesome. 



Before we left on Tuesday morning we stopped by the St. George temple.  It is so beautiful and so white! 

On the way home we stopped in Axtell (a.k.a The Middle of Nowhere, Utah) and visited another one of Mark's aunts.  We also visited his cousins who breed miniature Australian Shepherds.. They were sooo cute!  They had a new batch of puppies that were born 4 weeks ago that were so tiny and adorable.  We loved them because they weren't too big or too small.  Come to find out there were 4 puppies left from when they had several litters at once (almost 50 puppies!) They were 11 weeks old.  Anyways.. long story short

It's Canter!!  He's 11 weeks old and so adorable.  If only Posey would leave him alone for 2 seconds.  She always wants to play!  I swear she never gets tired.  Poor puppy!  I definitely wasn't expecting to get a puppy this week, but he's so cute.



I wish we had more days to spend there because we had to much fun and the weather was so warm! I can't wait for all of the many more years to come!
