 This week has been full of work and being lazy around the house. The only adventure really I had was a trip to Heber again and this time to go four-wheeling! It was a gorgeous day and of course the adventure started with Dariy Keen.. I have a hard time driving up there and not getting some of my favorite soft serve deliciousness. Not sure how many miles we went but it was right around sunset and we did get pretty high! I mean I was maneuvering in snow for a bit... Lot's of sliding and honestly I was a little nervous. haha  The snow prob made it even prettier I'd say. I just love looking at the Wasatch range from the Heber side! And for the perfect depiction of what my weekend looked like.. snuggles all day and all night. I had work saturday morning and Braden and I went for a couple walks/ ordered pizza but for the most part it was laying around in my pajamas in and out of naps snuggling with my 3 favorite boys ;) Also I just can't get over how cute Monty

 This weekend was a fabulous weekend! One of the best in a while! It started off Thursday night when Jordan and I did a bit of shopping and then had ourselves a sleepover! We got all caught up on dating and wedding business and she helped me plan out my attack of the next day morning. Friday morning we got up and got started. It was Braden's B-day so I had this extravagant scavenger hunt planned out for him. First I had him show up after class (I wasn't there) and he let himself in to find part 1 of this b-day present: good smelling spray from Bath and Body works and his first clue which led him to The Hobbit movie on my tv stand which then led him to my backyard where he had to climb a tree and then to the park by my house and then his car then winco )by the chocolate covered gummi bears, then the library (the JRR Tolkien section) the gym and finally ending at the Dry Canyon Trail Head where I waited with stuff for a picnic! I wrote it all out in poem form (you ca

 Then On Saturday the fun continued! For book club in the March of month we read Divergent which just came out in theaters a week or so ago. So as a club we went to see the movie! Of course I'm nerdy so I had to dress up... I wore all black like the Dauntless (the brave faction that the main character joins in the book) And the main character Triss also sports 3 ravens on her collar bone as a tattoo reminder of her family members. So braden helped me out and used his artistic talents to try and replicate her tattoos  for me. I think they turned out quite nicely to be honest. :)  And after the movie we discussed what we liked and what we didn't like. I don't want to list an spoilers but I think they did a pretty decent job simplifying it and still following the main plot, however there were some character developements they could've done way better at.  For instance like 4 actors all looked so similar! Caleb, Peter, Will, and Al. Like it was almost hard to differen

 So this was a pretty eventful weekend and probably one of my favorites of the year. I got hooked up by a friend in Heber who took me horse back riding. (It pays to have friends with horses :P) I drove up after getting off early at work and met them at the Walsburg (?) turn off in Provo Canyon. I had a very docile horse and this was only my second time on one after almost exactly a year ago when Ty took me. It was the most gorgeous day I barely even needed my coat! AND I finally got to use these boots I got last summer. haha We went on like an hour and a half ride so my hips and knees were screaming at me by the time we were done... but gosh it was just so beautiful being out in the open and covering so much more distance. Of course I loved every second of it. Then I headed home when it got dark to have myself a relaxing Friday night. But seriously... one of the best days ever.

So this is how I survived March 26th. I actually had a decent day. Work wasn't too bad and I made it to the gym. I had a bit of a cold last week but I spent some time in the steam room and sauna at the gym and that helped relax me a bit. I bought a crack load of popcorn. (and yes I specifically used the word crack because that's how great that popcorn is). Anyways I probably ate a whole bag between the two for dinner and had myself some martinellis. Braden was thoughful enough to spend my emotional crazy day with me and even sat through a chick flick with me! What?!? So I made chocolate covered strawberries and we had a grand ol' time. ( P.s. ladies I've found a way to make men more interested in watching chick flicks.) I told Braden I'd give him a kiss every time someone kissed in the movie. And guess what he actually really enjoyed the film. haha So a tidbit on the film. It is very underrated! My coworker actually recommended it out of the red box. It had Rach
