Valentine's Day

This was our first V-day as a wonderfully married couple! It was great and I got into the spirit by making this little wall hanging!

A little burlap, a wooden frame that I painted black and some felt! Super Easy!

My Valentine!

Mike definitely knows how to take care of his wife! He did so great for V-Day this year! We went to the Skyroom on campus for lunch which was really good!

He surprised me with a dozen roses at work and then swept me off to dinner.

We then went to ColdStone for my absolute favorite ice cream!

Mike spent most of the afternoon decorating out bedroom with rose petals, candles and amazing  scents! It was so romantic and beautiful!
We had a great time together and fell more and more in love! :)

Camping... Kinda

Mike and I have been wanting to go camping for months. Our ward even had a camping trip the week after we got married but we were in Texas for our open house.
Of course Provo right now has a little too cold of weather for camping so we are making our own way.
Camping indoors!

We set up our little two man tent and it was so warm. The windows were open and the fan on to try and make it colder. Like REAL camping!

Foil dinners are the greatest and essential to any camping adventure!

Check out this Smores set up. Perfect? Yes!

Basically we had a blast together. Sleeping in the tent was so fun and what a cheap date night! :)

Bowl Game

We had an amazing time in Texas for the Armed Forces Bowl!

I think we had lunch with the Folsom's everyday, they are the greatest!

 
We even got box sets at a Mavs game.

Mike's family was at the game with us and it was a blast!

We all loved every bit of the game. This is Mike screaming after the first touchdown.

Isn't he the hottest man ever? Especially in those pants!

I think this was the cutest girl there! Millie loved every second of the game!

Like I said, we were lucky to be in Texas where Mike's from so instead of heading back to Provo with the team, we stayed and played with family for a few more days!
I got to experience Babe's chicken which was to die for! We are definitely going there again!

We had to leave a little earlier than we planned because we DROVE back to Provo in the TRUCK!
Needless to say I was so excited about that!

It was an amazing vacation and we were only sad it was too short! :( Happy Bowl Game Y'all!

Christmas Time

I absolutely LOVE Christmas and all that it entails: hot cocoa, wreaths, candy canes, music, decorations, a tree, etc.
Mike doesn't love cocoa unless he's freezing and unless you've been to the Glover house in winter you have no idea what real hot chocolate is. It may have your daily allotment (or two) of calories but it's amazing! A Christmas tradition that will always have Mom written all over it. It warms your soul and makes you feel like your already snuggled next to a warm fire.

I made my own wreath this year. It may have been pinterest inspired but I still kinda did my own thing! However, thanks to a phone death I lost my cute picture of it.  :(

A woman at work was always throwing candy canes onto my desk. I had a ton this year. She also fulfilled my music intake. I think she started Christmas tunes before Halloween. It was great. She gave me a copy of the Buble Christmas album, YES!

I had an awesome time decorating our little place. Mom sent me a few things to get me started which had to include a snowman! Our tree was so cute, the perfect size for our apartment. We went hunting for the perfect one with our friends and neighbors, the Riggs!

Now for most people Christmas means a couple of weeks off school and work and getting to be with family and friends for MANY days. YAY!! We had a great break from school and saw some friends from the team but other than that, no such luck.
Because the bowl game was Dec. 30 we had to stay in Provo for practice until the 23rd. We left as soon as we could to Texas to be with Mike's family.

It was great, relaxing and just tons of fun... for 2 days. Christmas was great!

We had to report to the team hotel on the 26th. Kinda tough to have Christmas break in 2 days but we made the most of it!
