I Love Days Off!

Yesterday, Travis and I didn't have work, practice, OR school! It was so nice to have the whole day all to ourselves, especially when our friends took us horseback riding in the mountains.

Anyone who knows me can easily say that I am obsessed, I mean, OBSESSED, with horses. I have been my whole life, and if there was an actual career in riding horses, I would quit school right this minute and pursue it, ha ha. Wait a minute... isn't that called being a jockey? PEACE OUT!


......I wish..

John Wayne II everybody =)

It's kind of small, but I couldn't zoom in any further.

Travis on Cheyenne and me on Alana.

It was kind of scary because neither of us have ever ridden in the mountains or in snow, but these horses were pros. The family that these horses belong to actually train these horses for endurance races. I have never of these kind of races, but its when people race their horses for 100+ miles at a time, it's insane! It was so fun to actually get out and experience something here that we won't be able to do once we leave Utah.

Will You Be My Valentine?

Oh Valentine's Day, some cherish you, some forget you. We have all had our share of Valentine's Day surprises, and Valentine's Day disappointments (I'm specifically talking about not getting voted for having the best Valentine's Box in 2nd grade). But despite its insignificance and notoriously named "Single Awareness Day," it's a pretty fun holiday. This holiday is made especially for us ladies, and we want it to be special. It's not that hard to please us, either. When we say we don't want flowers, it means we really do. Or if you ask us if and where we want to go out for dinner and we say we don't care, that means we really do care and you better take us somewhere nice. It's that simple! 

This year was Trav and mine's first Valentine's Day actually together. So, this one was extra special for us. I came home to this cute little set up and when I saw it I immediately started tearing up. Figuring Travis was still gone at practice, I called him to leave a voice mail. As I was wrapping up my mushy message to him, Travis swung open the closet door behind me and scared the crap out of me. He had been standing there listening and watching me--the.whole.time. Even though we'd been married for a while, I was so embarrassed! Good thing he's so sweet and good lookin'.

Utah JAZZ

This past Friday, me and Travis were able to go to the Utah Jazz/OKC Thunder basketball game in Salt Lake! Even better, we got to watch it from a suite with tons of free FOOD (perks from working at Subway I guess)! It was my first time to watch any type of professional game in person, and even though they lost, I had so much fun. 

Also, we had the chance to meet and take a picture with ex-Jazz player Thurl Bailey. To be quite honest I had no clue who he was, ha ha. Apparently he played professional basketball for like 16 years. When I stood next him he completely towered me, and even made Travis look like a shrimp. The first thing I asked him was how tall he was and he said he was 7'0" tall. WOW. But I know in NBA terms that's probably normal.is a giant! I am a total nerd and also googled Thurl (sweet name). After he retired he became an inspirational public speaker, a broadcast analyst for the Utah Jazz and the University of Utah, an actor, and a singer/song writer. Talented guy!

Me, Thurl Bailey, and Trav
