Molly Hunter Photography: The Hogar, once again: It'll never end, so I hope you like it:) I know I do. So I made this slide show the other week in preparation for the HELP International re...

Hunting is the WORST!

The first time brandon went hunting while we were together was last October when I was still figuring him out. It was cute then and I was ok with him being gone. He left me a flower and a king sized kit kat with a cute card, that helped his case a lot

This year he decided to go hunting and I was ok with it I thought.... He didn't even leave me a present this year he went up to Island park about 2 week ago, he was planning to be gone for about 4 days, but one he got up there he got his elk within half an hour of being there and he was home by sunday.

I was so glad that he got his hunting urge out of his system and that it was a very short trip. Bad news! He decided to go hunting AGAIN!! BOO. He left me last night and I was crying so hard he almost stayed, but then he didn't. I was fine until I had to go to bed all alone in my creepy apartment. As I was getting ready for bed I was crying and missing him. I turned on the bathroom light so I had a night light and I woke up about 50 times.

I think the problem is, that I just miss his a lot when he is gone. I am glad that he gets to go out and do something that he enjoys so much, but it is hard to be left behind when I have nothing to keep me occupied and the only thing I have to do is to think about him.

Our Crazy Life

Sometimes life wont let you catch up. We were planning to move to Brooklyn, NY so that Brandon could go to NYU for dental school. We bought plane tickets and we had a place to live. We also had a 5,000 dollar deposit down at the school. 10 days before we were going to fly out Brandon got into the new dental school in South Jordan. We struggle over the decision for about 2 days, and we finally decided to stay in Utah.

At first I was not happy we were staying, but now I am. We move to Lehi and I am going to buckle down and finish school as soon as I can. We are happy and life is good. We still get to be around our families and we have been having fun finally spending our gift cards and getting an apartment together.

3 months to go....

So 3 months sounds like a long time, and it is, but when you consider that were engaged for the better part of 5 months it is super exciting. I am ready for things to start happening and for the fun things to start. Becky was asking me about my bridal shower and i got really excited. Also I talk to Angi about center pieces and she has a lot of cute ideas. I am so glad I have sisters and a mom that care about me so much. They have been a lot of help in planning and brainstorming.

I was stressing myself out and wanting everyting to be my way (even though I had no idea what that was would be.) Then one day I realized that all that really matters is me getting married to my Best Friend!!! All of the other things are fun, but in all reality they don't matter. So after that I chilled out and let people help me. I have been so much happier and I am able to focus on more important things like Brand-o getting accepted into dental schools!

I'm really excited and I am really ready for the end of the semester!

Exciting week

This last weekend Brandon and I went up to Temple Square to see the lights. It was really fun, but Salt Lake was crazy!!!

The most exciting thing that happened this week was Brando getting accepted into the NYU School of Dentistry! He was really cute when he wanted to tell me. He came over and told me he wanted to go for a drive. We drove down to the lake, which is our favorite spot, and he made me sit on his tool box. Then he handed me a piece of paper to read and while I was reading his acceptance letter he pulled out a bottle of sparkling cider and opened it when I looked up! Haha it was really cute :) He was really excited. I am not sure how I feel about New York but I think it would be neat.

Maybe the next time he is acting weird I will come home with a ring ;)

Alvin and Brittney!

For Halloween Brandon and I dressed up as Alvin and Brittney from the chipmunks and we were pretty darn cute! We made his costume from a red sweater and some yellow duct tape :) Awesome! We had little get together with my only other friends Alayna and Elayna from my classes. We played games and watched What lies Beneath and it is still scary even though I have seen it like 3 times.

My other Halloween activity was meeting Becky in Gardener Villeage and walking around. I had a series of unfortunate events: I scraped my heel on the edge of a square log, which made me loose my balance and step into the only mud in the entire area, which made me get my favorite green shoes all muddy. We then decided to go to the bathroom to wash off my shoes and go to the bathroom and I didn't lift the strings of my dress up so they ended up in the toilet.... It was not one of my shining moments.

Brandon ALWAYS talks about soccer and how much he loves it. I am not really into soccer at all and I am pretty terrible at it. But, since he is my best friend I decided that I would let him show off for me a little bit. On Monday we went to the park and he tried to teach me how to play soccer. He was so excited! He was bouncing off the walls while we were getting things together. He is actually really good at soccer. I was surprised/ really impressed. He is so great :) We are going to play again tonight after I get off work. I love it that we do so many fun things. Tuesday night he made me go running, and it was not too bad. I like running with someone else because then I don't get bored.

Yellowstone

I had the best weekend and I got to spend it with my best friend. We went up to Yellowstone on Friday afternoon but it took us forever to get there. I LOVE taking trips with Brandon because we have so much fun. We got to talk and be together for about 7 hours! We never run out of things to talk about and he just makes me fall in love with him even more when we have those long talks.

What started about as a fun little trip for the 2 of us turned into a family vacation. His parents met us up there and while we were driving he told me that his aunt and uncle and 2 of his cousins were coming too, SUPPLIES! Lucky for me I am really good at making friends and we had a lot of fun. His dad is a really intimidating person and I was not sure if he liked me, but I am pretty sure not, we made eye contact by the end of the trip so I am going to take that as a good sign :)

On Saturday morning we started out with fishing. We found this really long beach and that way AJ was able to run around and get her energy out. She was so cute, she just doesn't know what to think about waves so she would race up and down the beach bitting at the waves and growling! We also had a camp fire and we cooked hot dogs. I worked really hard on connecting with his mom too and I was successful. It turns out that teachers like to talk about their classes and your teahing experience! Score one for Jenny! After fishing for about 3 hours we decieded to just drive through the park and see the wild life. We saw a really cool elk it bugled for us! Brandon was SO excited :) We also got caught in a hurd of Buffalo for like 45 min.

Then on the way back we stopped by Becky's Birthday party and we brought a cake that Grandmalishious made. It was pretty good. We had a fun time at the party :) and AJ got to play with Char Char! They are Besties.
