Happy One Year Anniversary!!!

Saturday, 7.7.07 was mine and Matt's one year anniversary! We had such a fun day celebrating.

We started off the day with lunch at Joe's Crab Shack, then headed to the Jordan River Temple.
Next stop was Baskin Robbins for an amazing peanut butter treat for me, and an oreo shake for Matt Last but not least was Transformers!! I was not very excited to see it, but Matt talked me into it, and I was actually very entertained! It was so fun to just spend a whole day together talking about what we were doing last year at this time and remembering the most amazing day of our lives. This last year has been amazing, thanks to my wonderful husband! He is truly my best friend, he makes me laugh everyday, and I am so grateful for Matt. I love you babe!

Costa Rica trip!

Matt and I went to Costa Rica with Luke and Amy Larsen April 28th-May 7th. It was SO much fun! We had a blast and had a hard time coming home to real life, work, and school. I posted a slideshow of all 200 pictures, so look through them if you have time, its a beautiful place! We did a lot of surfing while we were there, a hike up to some waterfalls, lots of laying out, eating good food, (the best fresh fruit ever!) playing games, and just enjoying each other's company. We stayed in two different places, the first was called Playa (beach in spanish) Hermosa. We were there for 3 days, then went to Playa Samara where we stayed the rest of the trip. That's where the tree houses were that you'll see in the pictures, they were AWESOME! The whole city was just one main street, so we'd wake up in the morning and walk to the bakery for fresh warm bread, then walk to the fruit stand and get a fresh pineapple cut up, and some avocados for the bread, then hit the beach by about 7:30 or 8! We had these great hammack's underneath our treehouse that I loved to just lay in and read, take a nap, or just look at the beach. This was such an amazing vacation, we're so lucky to be able to travel around a little before the babies come and see some of the beautiful places we did!

Beautiful Costa Rica!!!

Salt Lake City & St. George Marathons!

Saturday, April 21st was the Salt Lake City Marathon! For the last 2 years I've run this marathon, and for some reason decided I didn't really want to train and run all that way seeing as how last year was MISERABLE for me! But I did decide to volunteer instead and hand people gatorade as they crossed the finish line. It was kind of fun to be on the other side and actually see the winner (a kenyan of course!) come across the finish line. Well, watching everyone else run and not being in on it made me kinda miss it...so I decided to start training for the St. George Marathon! I haven't done this one yet, but I've heard good things about it. I keep saying I'm not going to do another one, but then I miss it...I guess what they say is true, they're addicting! My goal for St. George is to finish in 3:40 (20 minutes off my best time) and qualify for Boston!! We'll see how that goes...maybe I can even talk my hubby into running it with me :)

Blades of Glory

Over Easter weekend, Matt and I went and saw Blades of Glory...it was pretty funny! There were so many parts that just had me busting up laughing :) These two were perfect for a male skating couple. And for any of you OFFICE fans...Pam is hot in this movie! I've heard a few people say they thought it was dumb, so I guess you have to be in the right mood to go see it....which I was! If you see it, let me know what you think.

Costa Rica...here we come!!!

We only have 2 more weeks until we leave for Costa Rica! I cannot explain in words how excited I am for this vacation, its going to be wonderful! This is a picture of the treehouses we're staying in when we are in a town called Samara...just wanted to give everyone a little sneak preview of where we'll be! We'll have lots of fun pictures afterwards, so until then....

Happy Birthday to me!

Tuesday was my 24th birthday!!! My sweet husband surprised me after work with a beautiful bouquet of flowers, and the best new headphones that actually stay in my ears! We kicked off the night reminiscing at Buter Middle School (Matt's middle school) We were in the neighborhood and decided to take a little trip down memory lane! Try it sometime, its kinda fun...everything seems a lot smaller than you remember! Here we are doing pull-ups (in my case, attempting!) in the school gym.

After that, we celebrated by going out to dinner at Porcupine Grill with Luke and Amy, then going ice skating! It was so much fun, its been awhile since we've all been ice skating, so it was pretty entertaining. I took a good fall...too bad we don't have a picture of that one :) It was a great day, thanks to all of you who made it special and called me, and to all of you who sacrificed and missed my husbands presence at the basketball game! Thank you all for your friendship!

We're here...

The day has finally come...we've given in and decided to start this whole blogging thing before we turn 30. Yes, before the days of obligatory seasonal diagnostic tests usually resulting in long rides home in the car with the radio down and very little blinking. Oh the times we have to look forward to... :)

This is the most recent picture we have..snowboarding at Park City on the most beautiful day ever! We've been fortunate enough to make it up to the mountain 3 times so far this year, and I'm pulling for a couple more.

Hopefully with the idea of blogging on my mind, I'll get better at taking my camera with me, and actually remembering to take pictures! Stay tuned for the fun, funny, and maybe not so funny daily happenings of the Garrett family!
