The Wedding and Our First Month of Marriage

We've been married a little over a month now...

I've been finishing up my last two classes at school and will graduate in less than two weeks! Since I'll be graduating with a Masters, I tell David he's going to have to start calling me Master. He just laughs at me. He knows he has the upper hand because of the pact he made a few weeks ago with my Dad...

When my Dad was in town, they agreed that they weren't going to call their wives Master, ever, even though my mom and I will both have Masters when I'm done. David and I have only been married about a month and already David's making pacts with my family members! Once, I came home from classes only to find David chatting on the phone with my Mom about "secret things". I never know exactly what I'm going to come home to.

David actually graduated a couple days before we got married... So now....

He's my house-husband.

...I love it.

Most days when I come home from classes David's preparing dinner. I fully expected that while I was taking classes spring term David would find time to catch up on all the Star Craft he missed out on while we were dating. I was wrong. He's taken up a lot of the responsibility around the apartment like cooking dinner, doing laundry, packing me lunch, doing dishes... Actually, it's a little embarrassing how much David does for me so I can just sit around and do homework.

Sean and Eunice's wedding celebration!

This past weekend we got to celebrate with our friends Sean and Eunice at their wedding! With help from our nanny, my brother and his wife, and a babysitter, we were able to trust that our kids would be okay back home for the weekend. Based on the photo below, can you guess what airport we flew to? We flew from Provo to Portland! I guess this carpet has been teased as very ugly and it was a trend a while back to take photos of your feet with the carpet when you pass through the Portland airport on social media. Most of the carpet has been replaced at the airport and the Portland airport has also been significantly beautified since. We got to see many people we love. On Saturday before the meet and greet at the wedding, we were able to hike a section of the Pacific Coast Trail, a trail that goes thru the United States from Mexico to Canada ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pacific_Crest_Trail ) with our friend Dan. The connection of us to Sean and Eunice and a subgroup of the g...

Outside and enjoying the sunshine

Our family recently crossed the 1 year in Utah mark. We've really enjoyed exploring the area and being outside. We love going on the Murdock trail near our home. Recently our oldest, Neil, went on his longest bike ride ever (a 20 mile trip!) and rode from where we live in Highland down to the Lindon temple (and back home). The boys love biking and scootering and visiting the various parks nearby. We've been really happy with our ebike (a radwagon) and this past summer added a couple escooters (secondhand segway ninebots). Hope you've had a great summer.
