Summer! :)

I love summer. Mostly because I get to watch cute movies and play silly games all day. And I get to go out on fun dates with my husband. This summer has been full of adventures for our little family, most of them a lot of fun.

We were able to be a part of Tia's wedding (mine was much better of course, it wasn't 100 degrees that day) and that was a lot of fun. I am so happy for her and her new husband Eric. Although I wasn't thrilled about standing around in the heat it was a fun day all around. Now I have other married people to hang out with too.

I took Holland to the Zoo to see Rocky Shores with my adaptive kids and we had a blast. Everyone else in the family was pretty jealous and I don't blame them. That exhibit is probably the coolest thing at the entire Zoo, just so ya know.

We spent the Fourth of July with both of our families; the morning was spent in Ogden and then the evening in Magna. Brysen walked the Plain City Parade with Holland and then we hung out around the house until about 1pm. Then it was off to a birthday party and then to Magna for a barbecue and fireworks.

All in all I still enjoyed being married to this crazy guy I married. I love him so much that I've even started cooking for him. According to him Hell is freezing over but that's his way of saying "wow, thanks babe." Our relationship is awesome like that.

In other news, We have officially booked our cruise! We leave on September 2 from Seattle, Washington. I have to admit, I'm rather excited. My goal is to lose all of the weight I've put on since the wedding. Nobody told me that when you get married your chances of getting fat increase. Good thing I like to eat healthy foods as well as crap food.

Brysen decided to try to cut his finger off at work a few weeks ago so we got to go to the doctors together. It was our first visit as a married couple. I have to say, it was rather uneventful unfortunately. I was hoping he would get stitches but he didn't even get glued. Life is so unfair sometimes.

B's work decided to do an Employee Appreciation Day last weekend, something I was extremely okay with. We got to go and see the new Batman movie FOR FREE! I happen to love Batman and I was thrilled when Brysen called me and told me we were going to go. I might have screamed a lot for a long time.

That's it for the Spencer Family for now. I'll post more when I have more pictures to show.

Spring Bliss

As mentioned in the last post, Easter was a blast! I went to Thanksgiving Point with the in-laws, celebrated Easter with them and then had a little mini Easter with Brysen. Here are the wonderful pictures of the Spencer Easter Shenanigans that were promised.

 This past Saturday I went to the zoo with the in-laws and it was a blast! I still think that Brysen was just as excited as Holland was, if not more. He was the perfect uncle, catering to Holland’s every whim and making sure she got to see every animal in the zoo. It was rather adorable, not going to lie. 

 

 

 Later that night we went to the Drive-In to see The Avengers and John Carter. We went with our really close friends and had a blast! I was only conscious for the first half of the night but I did hear that we had to restart a friends’ car and that I might have whined about it being slightly chilly (which is not true). Unfortunately there were no pictures taken so you won’t be able to partake in the awesomeness that occurred but I’m sure you can imagine what happened when 8 adults get together and act like teenagers.

  

 That’s all for now people. Hope you have a great life!

Another Month Gone

This past month has been quite busy for the Spencer’s and full of excitement (at least in my opinion, but everything is still new and exciting to me). We have done lots of stuff and nothing all at the same time.

T

o start things off over the past month, Brysen got not only one but two jobs! Hooray!! He is now a full-time Graphic Designer at the Sugarhouse Awning Company and a part time crew member at the Taco Bell just down the street. He seems to enjoy going to work and not spending his days lounging around on the sofa, even if it does mean getting up early with me. He seems to be enjoying both of his jobs, especially the Graphic Design. He’s still getting the hang of things but his co-workers are apparently really cool and he enjoys what he does.

This month we celebrated our first Easter together as a married couple. I got to go down to Thanksgiving point with my new in-laws and spend the day doing all sorts of fun, exciting Easter-ish activities. We had the traditional Easter Egg Hunt (where I might or might not have proceeded to knock small children over to help Kellan get some eggs), we played in the bounce houses, went on a small (yet fun) carriage ride and watched Holland and Kellan ride the horses.

We went home, dyed our Easter eggs and then the next morning had the family Easter Egg Hunt after church. I have to admit, the whole hunting for eggs idea didn’t thrill me because I didn’t want to walk around like an idiot in front of my new family-even though Brysen had told me I’d already done it hundreds of times before. Anyways, when I realized that we were having our hunt outside and that there was money involved, my outlook quickly changed. Granted it was $2 per egg but to a poor married person, that was a lot! We then enjoyed a fabulous Easter dinner, all courtesy of Ida and then spent the evening outside in the sunshine.

I started to work at the Rec Center again and I’m getting more and more excited for summer to start and for school to end. I’m starting to think that teaching a classroom full of 5^th graders borders on cruel and unusual punishment when the sun is shining outside. Who really wants to be inside learning about summarizing and how to multiply lots of boring numbers together when you could be playing outside instead?

  

Anyways, sorry for such a long (and probably boring) post. I promise to post pictures soon so my blog will hopefully be a bit more exciting to read. Have a wonderful life!

Our One Month Anniversary

This past Saturday, on Saint Patrick’s Day no less, Brysen and I celebrated our first month of marriage. Wahoo! We haven’t killed each other yet so I consider this marriage to be a success so far. I did kick out his cat for the time being though. I decided I wanted to be able to breathe and see in my cute little apartment and not be drugged out on Benadryl the entire time. Brysen misses Skitter though so once allergy season is over he gets to come back.

Anyways, we have been super busy over the past month finishing moving into our apartment. This is a good thing because I no longer feel like I should be on a hoarders show but it’s extremely sad that it’s taken this long to get everything unpacked. We’ve been going through boxes of things we haven’t seen in ten years and hanging out with friends. We’ve also been busy buying lots of stuff from Bed, Bath and Beyond that we don’t really need but that we really want. I’m actually enjoying putting our new home together, even if it does take a lot of work and requires lots of energy.

In other, less exciting yet still slightly important news:

While I’ve been busy at work trying to make up for all the days I took off, Brysen has been at home staying busy looking for jobs. He did get two interviews last week so keep your fingers crossed! He’s been awesome at cleaning the apartment and cooking lots and lots of meals for me. Brysen has me beat in the whole ‘domesticated’ area and it’s probably a good thing too because I am the least domesticated person you could ever meet.  He even cleaned the bathroom for me! I have the sweetest husband ever. He rarely complains about being married to me, something I greatly appreciate.

I am still surviving both working and going to college for the time being. Although I must admit I am starting to get sick of always doing schoolwork in some form or another. Oh well, such is the life of a teacher, right? I just had my spring break for college and now I am anxiously awaiting for the long anticipated spring break for work. I plan to sleep in and spend time with my two favorite things in the whole world, Brysen and my kindle and not answer my phone.

Well, that’s all I can think of for now folks. Have a nice life!
