It's What Fun Is...

Today...just so happens to be the 9th!
Which means, Anthony and I have been married for an entire month!
Alright, I know that is probably nothing to all you experienced, married folk.
I know, we have a lot to learn still. Believe me...I'm aware.
I think we learn something new everyday. I love it. It's fun to figure things out together. Usually.
Married life has been awesome. I mean how can it not be. I get to see and be with me best friend everyday. My best friend that I know loves me back and wants to be with me as much as I want to be with him. It amazing to see how much we have grown together and how much we have figured out and are STILL trying to figure out. I know that we still have a long ways to go, but I'm excited for the adventure and seeing where we end up!
It sometimes doesn't feel real that we are actually married. It was more so at the very start, but the feeling still arises now and then. It's crazy that all the stress of the wedding is done and gone. We're married!
One month down. Eternity more to go!


For FHE last night, we went to Lagoon!
I was able to get tickets for $10 each, it was awesome!
Thanks Elicia and Travis for the invite!
It was fun, we were only able to be there for 2 hours. Which equals out to be about 5 rides.
It was also Anthony's first time getting to go there and go on the rides!
He was so excited, bummer we were only able to get him on 5 rides. We're going to go again..He says.
He had fun and it was so cute to see how much fun he had.
The rides we went on:
1. Samurai.
2. The Fire Dragon.
3. Wicked
4. Wild Mouse
For our last ride we went on that sky ride, that goes across the entire park.
Yeah, I forgot how much I hate that ride. My mom use to swing it and scare me. I think she scarred me for life about that ride. I'm not the biggest fan of heights, but I love rides...especially roller coasters. I think it's almost like an oxymoron. I love planes and all that, but when I'm up high and I don't feel safe, I guess you could say, then I hate them and I don't feel safe on that sky ride.
I'm weird. It's fine.
I also, may have forgot the camera. Oops. Sorry people. I need to get better at this.
We were matching in turquoise t-shirts. If that helps a mental picture.

Weekend.ish...

It has been a good weekend. I think great might do it a little more justice.
Yes, let's go with great!
Number one reason why? I got to be with husband most of Friday and ALL of today!
Friday, he had to do some school stuff so his dad gave him the day off!
Isn't that just nice? Yes, it sure is.
But...I had to work, so lame.
Anyway, yesterday we went mini golfing at Boondocks. We also went out to dinner!
We usually hit up Chili's, ya know the whole it's cheaper thing, but last night we went to Applebee's
Which is basically a gross version of Chili's
I use to love Applebee's, but their menu is exactly like Chili's, but it sure doesn't taste like Chili's. Don't believe me? Test it out for yourself. I promise I'm not even being bias!
After dinner, we watched Troy, but me being Desiree I can hardly ever finish a movie without falling asleep. It's alright though, Husband fell asleep too.
He even attempted to try and carry me to bed, but I wasn't having it!
He's so cute though! What a nice husband!
Today, has been pretty chill.
I made breakfast and we HAD to do thank you cards!
That was tedious and boring, but we got it done! Hallelujah!!
Then...We took a nap, which we just got up from. It was quite lovely.
Unfortunately, he is getting ready to leave me to go do errands that I am not invited to :(
But Creed is. I see how it is...
It's alright though, we went to dinner and movie!
Chili's and Crazy, Stupid, Love.
That movie is pretty funny. I enjoyed it.
Isn't husband so nice to me? I just love him!

Also, is anyone else sad that Shark Week is over? I am. I didn't even get to really appreciate it!

I need to also inform everyone that my sister will be home, in Utah either...
August 11th or 12th..As far as I am concerned! Woohoo!!!

Husband and Creed really enjoyed playing rugby with the Provo Steelers!
They had so much fun. They even got hooked up with FREE NEW cleats! How great is that? Seriously!

Anyway, I know I am a terrible picture poster, but I have been trying to get better at bringing the camera places. Which I have I just forget to use it. My bad.

Wifey Points!..

Just some of the things they will be getting into.
Can't wait to see all their bumps and bruises


 White guy vs. Poly. Oh boy.
Guess who scored some major wifey points?
I did! Alright, Anthony said "I don't think you can gain anymore wifey points? You have them all!"
Isn't that sweet? Anyway, I say I did, BECAUSE....
For the last month, since Creed has been home. Both of them talk about rugby, watch rugby, play rugby (to a point)...It's hard when there are just two of them. They have talked and TALKED about maybe putting a team together but it wouldn't be any fun. They would have to teach everyone how to play
Now, before I tell you how I scored my wifey points I should probably inform you all about where this love for rugby came from.
It came directly from Australia and New Zealand. They both went to Australia on their missions.
They both had a lot of Poly companions (which a lot came from New Zealand)
Rugby is HUGE over there in those countries, so yeah. It's a mission thing.
Well, Desiree just so happens to know of the rugby team in Provo.
The Provo Steelers or as they say "Steelah Nation! Yeah Boi!".. Seriously. I talked to my good friend Amoni and he said send them to play with us!
Anyway, I gave him Anthony's number and everything got set up from there.
They have their first practice today and yes they are the only two white boys on the team.
Last night when this all went down I'm pretty sure Husband and Creed were so giddy and excited.
Ecstatic, excited ..Seriously. It's ridiculous.
There is one bad part to this all though, I see Husband less :(
He goes to basketball (some mornings) at 4:30 and then to work and now on to rugby at 7:00pm.
Did I mention the practices are in Provo..so after practice they still have a 45 minute drive home!
BOO!
Oh well, it was so cute to see how excited he was to play, I know he misses it and misses Australia a lot. Probably more than I can comprehend, but I hope that this helps him not be so "homesick".
Wifey points = Infinity...give or take a few.


On a different, more sad note. Today is 4 years since Seth Fraughton Passed away.
Crazy how fast time goes.
We all know your killin' it on your new mission Seth!
(obviously not in the bad way...)

Husband Letter's....




Anthony still out on his Mission. He is the second from the right (next to the one with sunglasses on)

Yesterday, I was going through some of Anthony's letters that he sent me while out on his mission.
You know, way back before we were husband and wife.
It was so precious to read them and I could actually put his voice with them.
I know, I know...I had talked to him in Australia, but that was only for like 5 minutes!
Plus, I'm pretty sure I was just in shock (in a good way).
Remembering what it sounded like over 7 months was difficult, All I knew was he had an amazing accent. If you listen to him now he still has a bit of one, I love it.
People on our cruise would ask him where he was from...or if he asked them what part of Australia they were from they would ask him right back. It made his day. I could tell.
Besides being able to put his voice with the letters, it was fun to see what we said we should do when he got home and how many of things that we actually did do and still need to do!
What a cute missionary my sweet husband was!
Even now it is grand to be in a conversation with him and have something said that reminds us of those good ole letter days...
Who knew that day in Australia I was walking away from my future husband?
I sure didn't, but a girl can dream..right?
Anyway, just wanted to share my little experience yesterday.
Getting lost in those thoughts and memories was awesome!

New Post. New Week. New Month...

I feel like I start every post of a new out like.."I can't believe it's already (insert month here)." I really can't believe though that it is already August. Time certainly does fly. In 9 days Anthony and I will have already been married for a month. You can't tell me that's not crazy. It is.

Well, this week we are going to busy, busy bee's. Anthony works everyday, all day. I have to work and get Anthony to be admitted to school as a resident, right now he is admitted as a non-resident. Stupid huh? Which makes the cost 3 times as much. All because he hasn't lived consistently in Utah since July 2010, because, of his mission. Which shouldn't  even count. It's so lame.  Then we have to get him registered for classes and me as well, I know..We're pushing up until school starts. There is also lot's of super, fun laundry to do. I'm basically pro now.

Alright this last weekend was pretty fun, also really chill. The last two Saturdays before, we spent in airports trying to make flights..Which we did! Anyway, it was nice to be able to just be together. On Friday we went for our very first grocery shopping trip, together, as married couple. Then on Saturday, we went to Orem to pick up his truck that was getting it's tune-up and a few other things fixed. After that we met up with Creed and Marquelle and went to sliding rock. It was pretty cool, but the water was ICE COLD. People actually swim in it, apparently we are to..one day, says husband. He also says we are going to go camping soon, while the weather is still nice and warm! I sure hope so, I love camping. LOVE IT. On Sunday, our church doesn't start until one o'clock. Which I might add is the worst time for church. I'd much rather have church at 9am. Anyway, we went to church. We brought Creed along with us , of course. Came home and I made Chicken enchilada's! Yummy! I bet none of you can guess how we ended our weekend....That's right we watched the premiere of Shark Week! It's so awesome.

That was our weekend for all of you. Probably not to entertaining, at all. Unfortunate. Sorry.
