My amazing husband asked me out this last weekend on a romantic date! He decorated the bathroom while I was asleep with roses and chocolate kisses and left a note asking me on a fancy date the following evening. He didn’t give me any details other than I was to wear a fancy dress and be ready by 6.

We went and picked up our friends Blaine and Kristen and then the boys blindfolded us girls and then we drove around forever. They took us to the Lohner’s house where they had slaved away all day on ACTUALLY COOKING a nice dinner for us and decorating the dining room with flowers and candles. We had the best dinner- made by our adorable husbands- and they even served us!!!

Dinner turned out great and it was so much fun to get dressed up and all ready for something nice. I am so lucky to have such a thoughtful husband who takes care of my every need. We have so much fun together and are truly in love!

Finally we got some sun! For our spring break we went to Disneyland with our friends Shayli and Kenyon. We had a blast! We went to California Adventure on Thursday the 18th and we loved the rollercoaster! The next day we did Disneyland and our favorites were Space Mountain and Indiana Jones. By the end of the day the rides kept breaking down and we ended up having to walk off the Thundermountain railroad after being stuck in a tunnel for 20 minutes. The atmosphere is still magical, even though the rides aren't quiet as thrilling as I remember haha. On Saturday we went and walked around the Huntington beach and then drove to Vegas for the evening. I love California, it was so beautiful and the homes were amazing! I would live there in a heartbeat- if there was no traffic!!! Overall it was a great trip and it was good to have a break from school while hanging out with some friends.

Here are some pictures of the trip

Yesterday Chris and I went Snowmobiling with our friends Sean and Ariel. We went up by Strawberry Reservoir and it was so pretty! It was a beautiful day and we had so much fun. Sean's family are avid snowmobilers and he is all about jumps and tricks. It is cool to watch him try new things. This is only my second time going and I love it. It is so different from four-wheeling. We get going 80 mph on those things and you literally feel like you are floating. It started snowing and getting foggy towards the end but other than that the weather was great! Here are a few pictures of our adventure!

So Vegas was a blast this weekend! It was the first time my little U-16 team has played together before and they did awesome! We ended up losing in the semi-final game but I was so impressed with how well they played together and stepped up to the challenge. I absolutely love coaching and want to continue doing it for a long time.

Chris was able to come with me down there and we spent all afternoon together Saturday and all day Sunday together. Chris' aunt and uncle live down there and we got to spend some time with them which was fun. The best part was just hanging out in our hotel room and watching 24!!! We are on season 3 and once we get started on a season, we literally can't stop! It is addicting.

Chris and I have been so blessed this year! We had an amazing Christmas and were able to spend so much time with tons of family. We enjoyed every second of it. We also got spoiled for Christmas. For the New Year we went down to Phoenix to visit some friends and enjoy the sun! We had a blast and randomly bumped in to President Uchtdorf while we were there at the Scotsdale mall. It was so cool to be able to shake his hand and see him out of a suit and tie. His wife was so cute and was so happy to have him spend some time with her shopping. I am starting to coach a U-16 soccer team this spring and am so excited! We are going down to Vegas next weekend for a tournament and I can't wait to get going on the season.

I love Christmas time! There is finally some snow on the ground which makes it feel more like Christmas. Chris and I have been getting in the Christmas spirit lately. We made an adorable gingerbread house, we decorated our small little Christmas tree and we went up to temple square to see the lights. It is so nice to finally get a break from school and work and really spend time with family and friends. We are so grateful for all of our blessings and for the opportunity to focus on our Savior's birth.

We went to Lake Powell over Fall Break with both the Nielsen's and the Lohner's. It was such a blast to be on the new houseboat. It was still way warm suprisingly. On the way home, dad hit an antelope pulling the boat. It was crazy! The thing exploded into a ball of fur. We just about had a three car pile-up. We finally made it home safely at two in the morning!
