Red Sox in ALCS

We would have given anything to be able to watch the ALCS games live at Fenway Park, but alas... we are poor newlyweds who live clear across the country from our favorite field. So we had to improvise!

Homemade signs helped to turn our apartment into the ballpark. The Citgo, John Hancock, and Coca-Cola signs are a Fenway must. Next was our own manual scoreboard which we kept up after every inning. 

It wouldn't be a baseball game without the concessions! Our own personal concession stand was equipped with popcorn, cotton candy, ice cold Coca-Cola, and of course Fenway Franks!

Last but not least a bowl of Dubble Bubble is needed for every dugout and a green blanket to cover the couch for our Green Monster seating.

Top it all off with a grand slam by Big Papi and a walk off by Salty!! 

What a great night! 

Go Sox!

Gen Con Oct 2013

This was my first "Pajama Sunday" that I spent all alone.

I'm not going to lie... I was pretty bummed all week thinking about it. Usually "Pajama Sunday" means a giant breakfast feast, snacks and crafts in between sessions, and snuggling up next to my family  while listening to the Prophet. The thought of lone watching depressed me a little bit.

But like Elder Vinson said,

 "Sometimes when I least expect I feel almost like the Lord taps me on the shoulder to let me know he loves me. " 

This General Conference turned out to be quite a beautiful experience. I was able to focus and listen more intently then I ever have before. Each talk touched my spirit in one way or another. How is it that the speakers always seem to be addressing me? My heart is left feeling rejuvenated while my spirit is left feeling reignited. General Conference always proves to be a perfect escape from the stresses of the world.

I am ever so grateful and blessed for this gospel in my life.  

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!
