Fairs


It's official.. I'm in love with Falls Park. Greenville is the place to be for the summer.. Every weekend at Falls Park there is fair going on. One of the fairs was a Ken-Ducky derby. Every year they have a race with thousands of rubber ducks. The first one to come down off the falls wins a free year of groceries. The park was packed with people and booths. It was a blast!
I feel extremely blessed to spend this summer with my  older sister Makell. Love you

ART ART ART!!!! I love art! This art fair was the biggest and best art fair I have ever been too. As most of you know my family enjoys art. We have a wonderful mother that made art a part of our lives at a very young age. She is very talented and her passion for art has carried on to us kids. I wish she could have been here with us. The professionals that came to the fair were really inspiring. 



Ever since I was a child I have loved old fashioned things. I have always felt like I was born in the wrong Era. I would love to have lived in the forties and fifties. When I saw these hats at the art fair I flipped. Each homemade hat was worth $300+. Dear guy who makes the hats your rock at making them, but next time consider my wallet. Blast.. I wanted all of them.

Hello Blog World!





I am getting a late start on this blogging thing. All my friends have told me that once you get married you have to get a blog so here I am. Blake and I have only been married for 4 months and one week. January 8th was the best day of my life but honestly I can say ever since then it has only gotten better. I can't imagine life without Blake. Don't worry I am not going to get too "lovey dovey" on this thing. One thing you should know about Blake and I is that we love adventures. In fact, we are on one right now. We are in Greenville, SC for the summer. I've heard amazing things about South Carolina and if you haven't heard anything about the south I will tell you. It is BEAUTIFUL and green and OMG!! No, but seriously I am loving every minute of it. The people out here are SO nice and I love the southern accents. OK, so our apartment is amazing I don't want to go back to Utah for this very reason. We have a dishwasher which is heaven on earth (we didn't have one in our last apartment). It's good to appreciate the small things in life and trust me we do!
This is Falls Park and it is right in the middle of town. 




Why are we out here?Blake is selling alarms and doing really well at it. I am so proud of him. Anybody who knows me knows that I am always doing something. So most of you are probably
wondering what am I going to do all summer? Well, I have my sister Makell with me out here so I will be playing with her and all the other wives. I have a lot of goals set as far as exercise, art, and books that I want to accomplish before the summer is over. Blake and I are training to run a marathon at the end of the summer. We have never ran more than 5 miles, but shoot we are determined to run 26 miles (If I run 10 miles I will be proud of myself). Justin Beiber said it best Never say Never. Right? haha Jk that kid doesn't inspire me but I wanted to tell you about a book I recently read that has..it is called The Last Lecture. I am sure most of you have heard of it. It is a must read. It made me realize a lot of things I need to improve on in my own life. Anyways that's all I have for now..I'll keep you updated on our summer adventures.
