Weekend Fun..

This weekend was such a fun and exciting one! I had looked forward to it for about 3 months! This was because it was my husbands birthday. I couldn't wait to pull out the surprises that I had! I had been planning a surprise dinner for him with his help! He choose where he wanted to eat and who he wanted to come but I just choose a different day and didn't tell him :) He ended up being so surprised and happy that his friends were there! (this was on Friday) Saturday we spent the morning at Zack's flag football game and then headed down to Provo where we waited in line for about 7 hours to get into the BYU vs. Utah Football game! It ended up being a terrible game.. hah BYU lost and that caused some bad moods.. however it was fun to be able to spend the time together! Sunday consisted of me teaching primary, Zack's birthday dinner, Family pictures (On the Bigelow side) with the amazing Heather Telford, then birthday dinner and presents for Zack! He is so excited about his new duck hunting waiders as well as duck hunting seat! (Lets just say he is really excited and ready to duck hunt..) I love this boy more than anything in the world! He makes me the happiest and I am lucky to be able to call him my husband! Happy Birthday! Xo

And to finish off today's post, my look for Monday via Instagram!!

I don't know about you, but I'm feelin 22

Yayyyyyy for birthdays!! 

I'm finally 22. Its crazy how time flies! Graduation & a birthday is a great way to spend a weekend! Lets just say my husband spoiled me rotten for my birthday!! On Sunday, we went to church and did our weekly nursery duty :) We have the cutest kids in our class! This time though Zack had to go and teach Elders Quorum so I was left to take care of 6 little children! (all under the age of 3!!!) Yeah... lets just say I didn't sit down once. I was constantly moving, those kids are so hyper!  I don't think I would ever want 6 kids under the age of 3 at once. After church we decided to watch some modern family and then we went to my in laws house for dinner! They had such a yummy birthday dinner for me. They make the best ribs! Mmmm... and then they made Texas chocolate cupcakes. I'm obsessed with the cake they make so they decided to indulge my love of cupcakes and make those instead. For my birthday present they gave me a new fishing pole! (it has pink on it... Love it!)

 On Monday morning, (my birthday), my amazing husband made me breakfast in bed! Pan cakes and eggs... :) Then excitedly he brought me the presents that he had bought for me! He had already given me one as a graduation gift so I could wear it! I was so excited to open them. (Best husband award!!!) He got me some of my favorite things on my wish list! After I opened the gifts and freaked out because I was so excited, we got ready and he took me to the tulip festival!!!!!!!! I love tulips and it was such a relaxing day to just walk around and enjoy the sun and beautiful gardens at Thanksgiving point.

Later on we went to Zack's basketball game (that is another story in itself)... But after the game, we went home for Zack to get ready and then went out for my birthday dinner! I had been craving Olive Garden because of the break sticks. Sooooo good. If you go to eat there try the mixed grill. It was super yummy.

Over all it was one of the best birthday's that I have ever had! Thanks to my amazing husband and family. Here is to another year! (thanks Jenny for the blog post title idea!! love you!)

A Birthday Wishlist

A while ago my husband asked me to put together a "birthday wishlist" so he had an idea of what to get me! I also love surprises so he didn't want me to know exactly what he was going to get. I'm excited to see what he picks from my "wish list"!! I thought I would share some of the items on my list!

 

Steve Madden Wesley Booties 

I know I know.... its almost summer! But these are the perfect transition boots for all seasons! (I'm thinking year round wearing!)

J.Crew Vintage Cotton V-neck Tee's (my favorite tee ever)

No. 2 Pencil Skirts (The best pencil skirt I have ever owned!)

* Neon Tweed or Clover Tweed

I adore the Liberty perfect shirt in floral! Perfect for spring


Loved these sandals from Urban Outfitters!






Dying over this pink J.Crew number!  








Cant forget some jewelry.. loving the neon necklace!

Making this list was a lot of fun! I haven't had a ton of time this semester to really look or go shopping.. (which is probably also a good thing!) Last day of student teaching today... such a weird feeling! No lessons to plan for tomorrow.. onto continuing the job hunt! Wish me luck.

For all of those with family members in Boston, participants in the Boston marathon, or for all those affected we are praying for you! My heart goes out to all of the victims and their families.

 

 

A Month of Countdowns...

This month has definitely  been full of countdowns! For the past 3 months I have been student teaching 8th grade at Indian Hills Middle school in Sandy. I have Loved it! Its so crazy to me that I am almost done... 1 more day! Its bitter sweet for me. So much work has been put into this semester and teaching but it has shown me how much I like love what I do. 

9 days: Nine more days until my family gets here! They moved in January to Arizona right after my wedding. Needless to say January was a crazy month. I miss them  and cant wait to see them!

10 days:  GRADUATION!!! I cant tell you how much work has been put into getting to this point. This past year school has not been easy.... not at all! However, I think I have learned more about myself in the past year than ever before. 

Yay!!!!!

14 days:  Birthday!  I feel like I am getting so old, but I am only turning 22! I am a huge birthday person and love celebrating them. Its a day all about you! Who doesn't love that?

28 Days: Emily & Stephens Wedding! I love these two and they are adorable. They will have the most beautiful wedding and I am excited to be apart of it! (best friends weddings are the best!) Plus they have the best photographer Jordan!!! We loved having her as our photographer!

And for the last countdown I have right now.... 
 
32 Days: Hawaii!!!!! Zack & I finally get to take our longer honeymoon! He has never been and I cant wait to show him a place that I love.
                                                          

 Weekend Fun

I am so exited for everything on this countdown! It makes life so much more fun when you have things to look forward to, and so many good things! This weekend was also a much needed time for relaxing. The best part was Zack had work off on Saturday! This meant that we could actually plan to do some things during the day. (and Friday we could stay up later! -- I know.. we are already old!) Friday night we went and saw the movie 42. I am going to be bold enough to say that it was  the best movie I have seen in awhile. Everyone needs to see it! We even went to the dollar store and purchased our candy for the movie.... (yeah we are obsessed with candy, movie theater popcorn, & of course our drink!)

This was what I decided to wear for this date night. Its always fun getting ready to go out. (don't mind the mess of a bedroom)

 

Top: J.Crew Factory (another great Red number here) Jeans: AE (old), Shoes: F21 (old), Watch: Fossil, Bracelets: Thrifted, Urban Outfitters (old) but loving this one! Necklace: Anthropologie (old)

 Saturday we got to enjoy our Pass of all Passes! (great investment!) We wanted to go Mini golfing however the weather disagreed with us and started to rain. Then Zack had a great idea to go to an indoor mini golf! We discovered Planet Play. For just a $1 we were able to do unlimited mini golf, laser tag, and go carts! Our friends Jenny and Calum joined us and we had a blast! (tons of children running around... but still a good time!) We ended Saturday with another movie with friends: Incredible Burt Wonderstone. Funny movie but I would have to say 42 was my favorite!

 Hope you all have a great Monday!
