  • Finally going through pics from the Tetons a couple weekends ago & I have too many I love because this place was so insanely beautiful!!! The mountains were some of the most amazing I’ve ever seen 😍 • We decided to go on this trip super last minute & visit some friends up in Idaho. I’m so glad we did because it was a blast! even though it made school & trying to finish up my internship a lil stressful the next week- life is all about experiences right? 😅. • Also, Realllyyy thankful to have this guy that agrees to go on spontaneous road trips with me 💕
  • WE FIND OUT THE GENDER OF OUR BABY TODAY! 😍Are you team GIRL or BOY? 💖💙💖💙
  • I guess getting pregnant wasn’t a big enough change (#jokes), but decided to go a lil blonde too 😜 • Happy Labor Day!!! Can’t believe it’s already September and the leaves are starting to change in the mountains here 😳😅🍁 Fall is such a pretty time here but not ready for the cold to come back!!
  • The narrows have been on our bucket list since we’ve moved to Utah, & last weekend we finally got to hike them! They were incredible- here are some tips I learned from our experience • 1. You DONT HAVE to take the shuttle. Yes the shuttle is cheap & convenient, but there are limited spots right now. If you can’t get a spot, you can bike to the entrance! It’s 9 miles, but especially on electric bikes, 😜 it wasn’t bad at all. Plus, then you don’t have to worry as much about getting there at 6 AM, we got to the narrows around 10 and there were other people but it wasn’t packed! • 2. Go in the summer. We went in mid-August and I feel like it was ideal! The water felt refreshing, not freezing because it was warm out! • 3. You don’t have to hike all the way. We hiked about 5 miles total, and feel like we got a good feel of the narrows! Hiking through water takes more time than a normal hike, so if you aren’t up for the 10 mile hike, it’s still totally worth checking out for as long as you want! You simply turn around to decide your halfway point. • 4. Rent the waterproof boots & neoprene socks! The path is not easy to walk and I was SO glad I was wearing waterproof boots and socks, not chacos or thin, water shoes that I really had to be careful where I stepped. • 5. Bring a (waterproof) camera/go pro/phone. The narrows are beautiful. You’ve gotta document them 😍 • Have you been to Zion? Save this post for later when you visit the narrows!
  • Still shook we are having a baby in February. What!? We are old enough for that? 😅 Haha, sometimes I feel like we are still high schoolers in love but here we are! Can’t wait to be a family of 3 next year 😍 (Ryan is still holding out for twins, but no second baby in sight as of now 😉)
  • Do you believe in 2nd chances? Thankfully this guy did 😜😉 • Our love story had some major ups and downs, but somehow we are here now & that’s what counts! 💕 When Ryan left for 2 years for Brazil for a church mission, I planned to wait on him. But 6 months into that wait, I sent him an email (our only form of communication) & broke up with him. 💔 Breaking up with him, I thought, would be the end of our relationship forever. • ...But that all changed when he called me to “mess with me” on what would have been 5 years of us dating & my 22nd BIRTHDAY. We met up that weekend when he was in town and hit it off like we never were apart for over two years. He told me he was still in love with me and kissed me!! 😳. • It was a really tough path between that “first date” back together & getting married 9 months later, but we made it through the long distance and trials and now have been married for over 2 years 💕. • It’s so crazy to think about what life would be like if Ryan never called me on my 22nd birthday!
