Acupuncture!

 Just had to share this quick experience Dillon and I had at the chiropractor the other day.... ever since we began going to the chiropractor our doctor after every sessions does laser acupuncture on us so we asked him if he happened to do needle acupuncture and he did! so last time we were in there he offered to do needle acupuncture on us so we could try it.  I must admit I was a little scared to have it done so I had him stick the needles in Dillon first so I can see how it's done then I let him do it to me.  You can't feel a thing when he puts it in, some of the needles felt like a little mosquito bite though but nothing too bad. It was a cool experience, now we can say we have had needle acupuncture :)





Acupuncture to the face!

All About Corn!

         All I gotta say is that I am super excited every week for our little date nights! Dillon and I decided that we wanted to make sure we had a date night every week as well as a temple night (which by the way on our second time going to the temple we were made the witness couple! awesome). This week I decided I wanted to plan our date so the day before I made an invite which I left on Dillons pillow for him to come home to which informed him about our date and helped build the ambiance.

        There is no better way to wake up in the morning than too my hubby bringing me breakfast in bed. He got up early in the morning, bless his heart, to cook me breakfast even though he's had to get up at 6 every morning this week for work.  He made me eggs, turkey bacon, hash browns, and a delicious parfe with orange juice and hot chocolate with hazel nut creamer and because we don't have bed trays he brought it to me on a plastic container lid which made it that much cuter! he's such a cutie lol. 
       For our date I chose to do an "All About Corn" date so for our dinner I made corn chowder in pumpkin bread bowls then we headed to cornbellys to do their corn maze and all the activities that they had there It was soooo much fun! Not to mention we totally rocked the corn maze :) It was absolutely freezing when we went since we went in the evening we could hardly tell once we began all of our activities because of all the fun we were having.  I love going on dates with my hubby he's the best person to do things with.  He is so full of energy and up for anything just loaded with adventure and optimism. 




 



We love corn so much we like to lay in it!!

He should do this for a living...


Tons of sweet pumpkin carvings














Me and my Prince charming!



Love his 6 pack lol

Catching up

So how about I've been slacking on updating our blog...sorry bout it! So recently what has been going on with us is like always school and Dillon going to work, I still haven't looked for a job but I should probably get on that.  Last weekend Brandee had a sleep over out our lil house we watched Kung-fu panda 2 and ate popcorn from our cutie popcorn bowls we were given as a gift from our wedding.  The next morning I made us all egg in the toast and Brand made us all yummy fruit smoothies then we all went to church.  It was our first time attending our ward which was quite interesting, when we walked into the chapel we saw Bryce and Laura which means we're in the same ward! Our ward is actually quite big.  Lots of little kids and young couples, we were hoping to be in a family ward that has a variety of ages.  Although we were putting forth effort to meet people in our ward we can't help but think if it's worth it because we were told there is a HUGE turn around, since July 50 families have moved out and there were 8 other families that were new to the ward just like us. We want to be in a ward where we can make friends that we can have for a long time and actually feel like we know people in our ward and become close with.  But besides that after church we went home and made some cream cheese ebelskivers and Brandee helped us hang pictures on our walls.  Here are just a few pics!

Mini Honeymoon

After leaving the reception Dillon and I went on a mini honeymoon down to the Radisson Hotel in Salt Lake City for a couple days. His sweet aunt Heather had gotten us our hotel which we appreciate so much.  Once we got there Dillon loaded up the luggage cart and we headed up to our room.  We opened the door and were soo astonished to see that his family had decorated our room so beautifully there were rose pedals all over the place leading from the door all the way to the bed and all over the bed, there were chocolates next to the bed and on the bed as well as a rose.  There were 3 vases full of roses and flowers which smelt amazing and filled the whole room with their wonderful aroma.  His family had put candles and wine glasses with Martinelle on the bar with gift cards to the movies, outback steak house and olive garden. It was so romantic, what a great family to this for us and top our wedding day off with this.  


The whole time in Salt Lake City we just relaxed and slept which was so nice, we went to ihop for breakfast and then Olive Garden for Dinner and we relaxed at the hotel and watched "Soul Surfer" and ate all our goodies.  Maglebys and my mom had prepared boxes for us to take to the hotel with food and our wedding cake since we didn't eat at the reception and my amazing sisters made us a huge goodie basket with all of our favorite treats and more martinelle! We have been so blessed to have such great families who love and support us and sacrifice so much for us.














  For our honeymoon, because we are in the middle of school, we will be going to Mesa Colorado in December for a winter honeymoon which we are so excited for! Dillon loves snowboarding so we will be going snowboarding, dog sledding, snowmobiling, sleigh riding etc. can't wait!
