Update.

It has been a busy last few months...thats for sure!

Bradley & I have, since my last post, finished another semester (Winter) and are getting closer to wrapping up another semester. 

Here are a few special things we have done since my last post:

My sweet husband surprised me with a fun SURPRISE Valentine's weekend to SLC. We stayed at a super nice hotel and had so much fun shopping, eating at CPK(bradley's favorite) and just being together. Here are a few pics from that night.





In March, we were able to have a fun cousin "retreat". A few of Bradley's cousins on the Bryson side and us were able to go down to St. George, Utah to spend the weekend. I had never been to St. George before, and after this trip it definitely will not be the last time we go!

We were able to see Brigham Young's home in St. George. This picture is right beside it!


We also went to the temple! We were all ready to go do baptisms inside, but there was a pretty large ward already attending, so we just decided to visit the visitor's center and explore the beautiful grounds. This temple quickly became one of my favorites!


This is at Snow Canyon. We decided to hike along the canyon trails, which everyone BUT Bradley did. Bradley found it more fun to jump from rock to rock to get to where he wanted to be...scared me half to death that he was going to fall!


The girlies!



This year was the first year I was able to attend the annual Bryson family reunion at CAMELBACK. During this weekend, this whole side of the family gets together in Scottsdale, Arizona. It was such a fun weekend full of fun cousin "dates", pool days and just being all together enjoying each other's company. This is definitely something I hope to get to do EVERY year.

Fun by the pool!




One night during the weekend, the family meets at the cutest train park to have a catered dinner. Here we are at the train park!



Since Bradley's birthday is right after Camelback, we celebrated with the whole family by going out to dinner to CPK!


YUMMY.




Cutest birthday boy I ever did see.


We LOVE Ava!


We have the greatest family!



While at Camelback my amazing sis-in-law Ashley took some amazing family pictures. Thanks Ash!




 It was my first time going to Arizona, and I absolutely LOVED it! Arizona is so beautiful. I love the fun landscaping and warm weather. I definitely wouldn't mind living here someday...


I think that pretty much sums up Bradley & I's last few months. We are so blessed to have such amazing families to take us to do such fun things.


This was taken at Bradley & I's last date night. We are proud to say we have had a date night EVERY week for the last 2 years...and we don't plan on ever changing that occurrence!

Until next time,

Christmas Break in Carolina

Bradley and I had such an awesome Christmas and New Years! We were able to go to NC to spend it with my family, we even got to bring Lucy. It was so nice spending time with everyone and Lucy loved the constant attention everyone gave to her. I miss them so much already, and we've only been home for 2 days!


Poor Lucy was drugged up the whole flight there. 

We wanted to make this flight the least painful for her...and us!


We were able to Skype with Jordan on Christmas day! 

It was so good to see him, we miss him so much!


While in Carolina we were able to travel to the Outer Banks so Bradley could experience all of North Carolina.

 North Carolina's lighthouses are so amazing!



After we got back from the Outer Banks, we all headed down to Savannah, GA. Savannah was such a beautiful city and we were able to learn so much of our country's history while there. During the day, we went on a trolley tour of the city and walked the river walk and then that night, we went on a spooky ghost tour. It was creepy learning about all of the crazy murders and suicides, and then actually standing in the place it actually happened so many years ago.






New Years was so fun. 

Daniel and Dorey had some of their friends over and we all ate way too much and played UNO. 

The best part was I was able to have my second New Year's kiss with Bradley!




Spending the holidays was so great, mainly because I was able to spend my first Christmas with the hubby. He is such an amazing person and I am beyond excited to spend the rest of forever with him by my side. I love you babe!

love,
