Our House is Officially Warm! Another Great Weekend!

We had a GREAT (and busy) weekend!!!

Friday: 

In honor of our apartment coming together, Seth and I decided to have a little "house warming party".  Since things have been so crazy with leaving the country for 3 months, and then straight into wedding planning, we had a lot of catching up to do! I didn't really know how many people to expect, but we ended up having about 35!! I had SO much fun catching up, and meeting some of Seth's buddies!  The little party went perfect...so if you could't make it...here are some pictures!

Here is the spread!

 Mini- Strawberry Shortcake bites

Paula Deen's own Krispy Kream Bread Pudding: Warning...SO GOOD!

Homemade Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins

Funfetti Cupcakes with Funfetti Icing! YUM!

Reese's Peanut Butter Cookies

I tried to capture who was all there..with very little success...but here is my darling husband and Chad and Sara Spitzer! We love them! 

 Some of my London girls!

 

 The Football Wives!!!

 Apparently the treats were a hit!


Saturday:

Saturday was so fun! It was a packed day! We started off with the BYU Spring Ball game were Seth did a great job! He got a lot of playing time and got a great tackle (not to mention lots of scrapes!)
GO #38!




PROBERT! This is for Seth's grandpa Marion Probert who was an All- American athlete



Seth's uncle and cousin came down to support!


 Seth and his buddy Tanner (Who actually served with my brother Nick in Mongolia...small world!)


Right after the game Seth's uncle took us to Five Guys Bugers (my first time) and we drove up to Centerville for Seth's Grandma's 80th birthday! 

'
Grandma and Grandpa Winter---love em! Lookin good!

The grandmas LOVE massages from Seth

 They had a ptohobooth at the party and Seth's cousin Parker by far had the best one! This still makes me laugh and I have seen in like ten times!



After the birthday party we went up to Park City where Seth's Aunt and Uncle Hansen had a time share at the Marriott right on the resort! We had such a great time with his cousins and new friends hot tubbing on the mountain, watching movies and chowing on tons of snacks, candy and pizza!


Sunday:

Seth and I have really liked our new ward!  It is really small though, so we knew we would be asked to speak very soon! And...here we are...giving our first talk as a married couple! We spoke on how trials and tribulations bring us closer to the Lord through trust.  We both wrote our talks before church...but it was okay because we don't start until 2:30! Crazy! After church we went to family dinner at my Aunts house and loved catching up with the family! 

(Excuse the sketchy red cup!)
Life is good!!!!

Our Apartment: A Work in Progress

After searching and searching while we were engaged for the perfect place we finally found it!!! It is nearly 1000 sq. feet-- two big bed rooms-- brand new carpet--and new appliances! We have really loved our place so far- it has been perfect for us two.


The only down fall....no furniture...so that has been a job in itself ... and we still have a ways to go!

It still isn't complete....but here is the progress we have made!!

BEFORE:

Here is the place before we moved in....

 
Our Future Bedrooom

Our Future Office


Pretty Empty!


 DURING:

 3 SUV's full of wedding gifts= BIG MESS!


Our first piece of furniture we bought! 
We had a crazy guy at RC Willy help us...but it was worth it! I love our coffee table!



AFTER:

Okay...so here is where we are at now! It has been a long haul...and we still have a ways to go! 


Our Kitchen





Our Living Room




The Bathroom


This is my favorite part of the bathroom after doing makeup out of a bag for the last 6 months!



       Our Bedroom


 The little dresser in our room





Here is my closet...in our room
Seth let me have the one in our room and he took the one in the office...what a stud ;)




 Our VERY unfinished office
...so far we have a desk!


We still need some furniture...and a little elbow grease...
but so far #201 has been GOOD to us!
We plan on being here for about 2 years until school and football is done...so we will keep you updated until it is perfect!
Lovin life :)

Our first married birthday! Seth turns 23!

We celebrated my husband's birthday ALL weekend 'cuz that's how I like birthdays!

On Friday night my parents, my brother Luke, Seth and I had an AMAZING dinner at Ruth's Chris in Park City! 
Seth called it "the best steak" he had ever had! And we all got MASSIVE desserts! SO yummy!





Saturday we started the REAL birthday at Gorgoza Park in Park City to go tubing!! 
It was a beautiful day and so much fun!


That night we went to Carrabba's for some very yummy Italian food
Seth got a frozen lemonade that he was obsessed with!
We chowed on mozzarella sticks, pasta and ice cream! GOOD night!





On Sunday my parents came down to our little place in Provo and we made dinner for them!
We had a delicious funfetti cake and sang to Seth to top off the birthday weekend!

It was so much fun and we are looking forward to MANY MANY more to come!
