2-for-1

I'm behind on the updates, so here goes post #2 for the day! This is just an update with pictures of what we've been up to this summer. Nothing too exciting!
Jordan stays busy during the days with yardwork, cleaning up the house when needed, working at night, the occasional round of golf, and even some tournaments! I'm still working as hard as ever in school. Dental Hygiene school is probably the hardest thing I have ever done, and I will probably say that multiple times until graduation. ha. However, I still love this career, and I am excited to graduate and have a job! Almost a year away! (woohoo!) I have good days and bad days, but that's normal! I just have to remind myself on the bad days that I've had them before, I get through them, and move on. I believe it's 1,000x easier to get through the rough days with Jordan by my side. I can't tell you how many times he's been there to help reassure me, or comfort me when I just want to breakdown...I am one lucky girl!
*WARNING* picture overload. So if you can make it to the end of this post. Congrats..you are a champ!
 We moved! Upstairs that is...and we are loving it.
BIG thanks to GG for being so generous and letting us live here!
 Steve helped Jordan and I do taxes this year. This is one of the many nights Jordan spent working on taxes. Lizzy and I had fun with the camera. Love that girl! 
 Speaking of adorable nieces...Brooke and Vince had their baby girl. I can not even wait to meet her!
 Hadley Brooklyn Meyer
 The view from our driveway a few nights ago. Gotta love summer!
 The other night, Katie and I got to have a girls night! After school we left for Salt Lake and went to the Rocket Summer concert. It was SO much fun to be there with Katie and sing and dance like crazy fools. The next morning, neither of us had much of a voice. It was well worth it.
 Bryce Avary. I can't even begin to explain how amazing this concert was. I've seen him 3 times...but this was by far the best show!
 Katie and I loved every single {sweaty} second of it.
 oh and we were on the first/second row the entire time.
We got pushed around when the crowd went CRAZY!
 Yup. Who got flowers TWICE in one week? This girl. Now, flowers are always appreciated and I love getting them...however, this is also a great indicator on how rough it was for me at school. 4 tests in one week. It was like finals all over again. Good thing I've got a loving Husband that knows exactly how to take care of me. He is so sweet. Wanna see another example??
 Yup. So in love with this man. The other day after school, I plopped myself on the couch for a good 7 hour study session. Towards the end of the night I was struggling to stay awake and to get through the last few powerpoints. Jordan sat right down and started rubbing my feet. One of my most favorite things EVER. He even busted out the file and lotion for my heels!
Love him
 Jordan might not appreciate this one, but this was just too funny! We BBQ'd the other night...and this was him cleaning the grill like a real man. haha cute gloves hun :)
Last but not least...I need to do a shout out to my girls. This is a super weird photo, but it totally captures our friendship. Danielle (left) and Tamori (middle) are two of the greatest friends. I don't know how I would get through school if I didn't have them there with me each and every day. We are constantly laughing...constantly. We have so many inside jokes, hilarious black-mail-worthy photos, productive study sessions, and the frequent pep talks. We have hit it off since day one...we are all so similar and I love it. I am so grateful for them!
Like I said...if you made it to this point in the post. Congrats! and thanks for spending the past 15 minutes of your life here :)

Birthday!

Even though my birthday was over a month ago, I still need to post pictures since it was also when we went to Colorado for our break! This was our first trip back to Colorado that was longer than 3 days. It was so nice to be able to stay an entire week! We spent our time with Jordan's family, spent some time at the salon, went to good movies, ate yummy food, went downtown to Denver for a night, and just relaxed! Thanks to James and Stacey for taking care of us, it was a much needed vacation!
 Downtown Denver
We went to Denver with Matt and Kylie this night! We walked around a little bit, had dinner at Hard Rock Cafe, and went on a little ride. Jordan drove us all over Denver and gave us a tour. It was fun seeing where he played volleyball last year at Johnson and Wales. 
 Of course I had to by myself a Hard Rock pin for my collection!
Me and my oh-so-handsome man :)
 The best Crème brulee I've ever had! This was my birthday dessert at the fancy Italian place we all went to. SO good. Thanks again James & Stacey!!
Now for the actual birthday...I spent the morning at school. It was the very first day back for the semester, so luckily I didn't have any homework to worry about that night! When I got out of school, Jordan and I headed up north to have dinner for Bart, mine and my Dad's birthday.
After we went back to the house and had cake and ice cream with the family.
It was a good week.
Facebook ALWAYS makes you feel good on your birthday, right?
 played "draw something" with Bart. He's so great.
(I think the actual word was Norway)
 Birthday loot
cards, candy, money, gifts from the kids, tons of hair/face products from Stacey, and of course we can't forget about the iPad from Jordan.
I was spoiled!
