Church and Love

It has been a couple of days since our last post. Keeping up on this thing is a challenge! A good challenge nonetheless. We have had a good productive week though so I better hop to it!

I guess we have a lot of good and big news!!! We'll start with the wedding stuffs. On Thursday I think it was we were able to design our invitations. FINALLY. Back in January I was able to attend a bridal show with my wedding woman entourage (Momma, Rachel (older sister) Jenna (younger sister) Amy (ROOMMATE BFFFFFFF's!!!! and of course Cassie B. and Mom in-law, in spirit). Whilst we were hitting up the fair we came across 1,000,000,000 invitations booths but that is besides the point because the first one we stopped at changed our wedding worlds! I WON A MAJOR AWARD...of $100 dollars off 500 invitations, custom design and insert cards included. Fantastic. Now two months later they are designed and ready to be proofed! Tada. One less thing to worry about.

Our next great news is that we were able to find a basement apartment in Bountiful. We had made a deal that we wouldn't start looking until the middle of this month or so but someone (Casey) couldn't help it. We looked at a couple of different apartments, talked back and forth with some sellers and all in vain. Each and every stinkin' time we looked, we were offered the apartment and Casey would tell them no. It is his like his new favorite game next to Skip-Bo. However, this time was different! We enlisted to help from lovely family members and this time it all worked out a little better. It will be awhile before Casey moves in but it is a good fit and great blessing. (shout out to Mr. Vowels, our new wardie!!!!)

Conference Love!!!

What else to talk about....Conference! What a joyous weekend we had. Since we both still live at home we split up the Sunday sessions with each family. We started out at the Call's, listening and learning and then had some delicious sandwiches following the session. It really was such a great time. Maybe we'll do it again in 6 months time...! Then we were off to the Cole house to enjoy the second half of the day. This session included puzzles and really spicy salsa. Holy cows so so so spicy. Again we enjoyed the time we had to learn and grow and chat.

Last conference Casey and I had endured our first fight. It was over BYU and Utah. Stupid, right? Behold our future. So it was nice to actually be with each other this time. We learned so much from the different messages. It is funny how in the different stages of life different things stand out in the talks. Needless to say, with marriage and new family beginnings on the brink, we have a lot of crazy things to prepare for. Things we hadn't thought about even. Soooo fun!

We bid you farewell

BABYMORPHS!

On our first blog post ever we mentioned how this would be our blog baby! Later, our sister in-law Britt commented saying that she read it as a "baby blog". This was no bueno! I digress. Babies, while cute are just miniature humans. That means they do a lot of the same things we do but in smaller ways. Which is gross sometimes, so we'll just be the fun aunt and uncle for awhile. But that got me a thinkin' about a little project that could be an adventure! So if you happened to chance upon the title of this post you may have guessed what this could possibly be about.

Babymorphs. Inspired by Animorphs, the popular 90's book serious. Only this is completely different! Before church one Sunday, Casey and I sat down at the computer and decided to morph our faces together in a effort to see what our kids could possibly look like! If you are interested, this is the website we used http://www.morphthing.com/blog/138-What-Will-My-Baby-Look-Like . FUN FACT! This site also lets you morph your face with a celebrity so you can have your own little celebritot! Is that great news or what?! You can have imaginary half famous kids. Think about it. Consider yourself warned though, this place makes some crazed babies...

So since we live in Utah, the "When are you thinking of having kids?" is a really common question for young, childless couples. This question doesn't bother me or Casey one bit! Thus our exciting Babymorphs project. I don't think we could have ever felt more awkward than we did as our results loaded. At first we didn't realize that just by clicking on what gender you wanted shown first would show a kid at any age. So the first two were very odd. Apparently we have some Latin American roots. That is all I will say about that. After that fail we decided to just push the baby button! This was even weirder! Here is our first result:

Look at the face on that baby. WEIRD, RIGHT? It might be the mouth, or the face. Or the whole baby. That baby is all face. I can't stop saying or thinking that. The face on that baby. So much face. This is just weird. So Casey and I do not accept responsibility for this child. The more I look at it the less words I have. In all seriousness though, if our kids really look like this I do not stand by any of those statements. Just FYI.

Casey's thoughts: "That's my boy...girl? Huh?"

We seriously laughed over this for awhile. And the whole way to church I was a little panicked, which made this even funnier! Our scary child will bring us together though. So this is actually an upper!

Now morph away my funny friends! May you have great success in all your endeavors.

HAGS!

A New Day

Showin' off our new hairdos! And facial capabilities.

Today was another seemingly productive day! We both got our hair did (I promise my hair isn't green like the picture), beat one million levels on Super Mario, made some tastey Roast Beef Aju, and worked out like crazy at the gym. Funny part of being at the gym today: Casey and I made a poor decision and went tanning yesterday since our engagements are in two weeks...BIGISH MISTAKE! I tan very easily so I thought I could handle it, and Casey used to tan quite a bit. Well Casey's face is now pink and I got burned in places that you shouldn't get burned. So trying to workout and keep the sweat from hitting the burns was quite the task. However, we were up to it!

Whilst visiting the gym facility I decided that it was time to mix it up again I just chanced upon this ab workout and wanted to share it. I am most def trying this out next time Casey and I are at the gym. Bless you Women's Health for always having new workouts for me to try! People always say how important it is to mix it up so that your body continually gets stronger, so that is what I will do! Here ya go friends:

The Sprinter

Even otherwise slender, fit women can end up with a sway belly die to underworked lower-abdominal muscles. Runners and other cardio junkies are notorious for letting their middle go soft while they spend hours on their legs. This move is designed to tap into the deep abdominal muscles—the transverse abdominis—that pull in your waistline like a natural corset.

To Do It:
A. Lie on your back with your arms at your sides, your legs straight, and your heels hovering 6 to 12 inches off the floor.
B. Start sitting up while elevating your left arm with the elbow bent so it resembles a sprinter's pumping motion. At the peak of the situp, bring your right knee to your chest. Return to the starting position, keeping your legs raised, and repeat with the opposite arm and leg. That's 1 rep.

Casey says "This doesn't look fun". Usually when it doesn't look fun, it isn't fun but it is effective! That means we are going to do this until we die...or see results. Whatever comes first! Good luck to you all. P.s. finally put up the GTL exercise page so don't be afraid to check that out either!

Godspeed
