Our own little Fenway

Say hello to our new miniature dachshund puppy.
Mr. Fenway Brower!

Lets just say that we are silly spontaneous newlyweds that on Devin's day off  ended up purchasing a puppy! Haha! Not quite sure what we were thinking there... but good thing he is super sweet and adorable! 

When we brought him home he was just under 3 months old and weighed 6 pounds. (Being a mini he will hopefully only reach about 10-12 pounds.) 
He loves squeaky toys, chasing water bottles, eating the fuzz off of tennis balls, sleeping on his back, tunneling under the bed, and meeting new people. Fenway is obsessed with paper and can find ANY tag! He hardly ever barks, except for when we pull out the dirt devil. He is my personal shadow and follows me incessantly; sitting on my feet when I stop for things like washing the dishes or doing my hair. 
This little cuddle bug has sure wiggled his way into our hearts!

Universal Studios

The last day in Florida we spent at Universal Studios.
I felt kinda like a traitor... it was definitely no Disney!
But it was my first time at Universal and we still had a good day!
Plus Devin got to join our family and later on Matt met up with us too.


Here are a few glimpses of the fun we had:

Presenting the class of 2011:



We had to meet early at the college to line up and make our way down to the Burns Arena. I was excited and nervous! It didn't feel like I was really graduating.


Being that it was Dixie State College's centennial year, the graduation ceremony was extra special!
The President of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints {Thomas S. Monson} was the graduation speaker. 


It was really neat to hear the prophet speak in person! He did such a great job! He really is such a cute and funny guy! However it was kinda weird to clap after the prophet's speech.


I had several of my family come to the ceremony to support me! It was great to know that as I walked through the 'D' they were in the stands cheering me on!


I can't believe that I'm already done with my associates agree! It's crazy!! Now to decide what's next....

Congratulations to all of the other 2011 graduates!

Putting on the Ritz

Thanks to the tax payers of Ocala, Florida, I was able to spend 4 luxurious days at this beauty in Naples, Florida.
But more so because of the extremely generous and kind Brower family invitation to join them on their family vacation/Matt's business conference.

Our room was a sweet little suite with it's very own doorbell! We had a most magnificent view of the ocean from our balcony and were even able to spot dolphins at times! I loved playing in the ocean and taking walks along the white sandy beach. We also were able to have some very intense but mostly fun-hearted game nights in our room! And when it was too rainy to play outside we were able to entertain ourselves in the "Vue" gaming room! Mckenna and I had fun playing Rockband and Mario Kart Racing while Kyler and Devin played silly Halo the whole time! I also learned how to play backgammon from Sandi! Which I quite enjoy! There were many laughs shared (Most were thanks to Kyler! I love that crazy kid!)

I was able to meet Devin's dear Grandparents and Aunt Mary who live in St. Petersburg, Florida! Their home is a condo right on the beach! The views they see from their windows must make them some of the luckiest people in the world! They were such sweethearts and treated us to a fun day of swimming, games, and bbq's at the clubhouse! They taught me to play Skipbo which I found to be quite a fun game! An intense fuse ball tournament also went down at the clubhouse. Devin and Matt verses Kyler and me! Devin and Matt ended up coming from behind and winning but it was a very close matched competition!

During this trip I was also able to see the town of Ocala and the Brower home too. Ocala didn't seem so bad...but I guess I can't really say seeing as I was only there for a few short days. We got a lot of The Deadliest Warrior watching in, and I now know that a Spartan is the ultimate deadliest warrior of all times. We also watched some wonderful Brower family home videos! They were definitely entertaining and provided great laughs! I must say that the Brower children are all still their adorable and funny own selves!

It was such a great trip! I had a wonderful time getting to know the the whole Brower family better! And I must say that I love that family! They are quite an amazing, kind, and fun-loving family! I may be glad to be back home, sleeping in my own bed, and not living out of a suitcase, but I am already greatly missing that wonderful family and I hate that they have to be so far away! I'll never forget what a wonderful and fun experience I had!
