*Weekend in AZ!!*

Two words... RASCAL FLATTS!!!!!!!!!

They are my all time favorite country band and i finally got to see them live. But first i have to tell you how difficult getting the tickets were! Here it is all summed up.. So for my birthday Cory surprised me with the tickets, weeks went by and we still had not recieved them in the mail, turns out it was a scam, tried to get our money back, got our money back, purchased real tickets, turns out they were handicap seats, called to switch seats, only seats left were 20 rows further, but finally got them in our hands and enjoyed the night!!! Geez Rascal that shows how much i love you!

The next morning I was in AZ attending one of my best friends weddings! So happy for Mrs. Kaitlyn Green and I am so glad i was able to spend her special day with her!

But best of all i got to spend some time with my fam!!

*This & That*

CORY IS 25!!!!!!!!!! If you ask him he feels way old, but look how cute he still is in his old age!

...So my parents bought Cory a watch for his bday and somehow we ended up buying me one for his bday as well so here we are with our new watches!!...

...We went shopping at the outlets in Park City, (Cory in his new bday outfit :))...

...Dad and Leah came in town for a few days. Here we are at Mimi's enjoying the smoothies...

...Leah and I went shoe shopping!!...

...Painting nails :), it is fun having sister time! We don't get that very often!...

...Here is the clan together on sunday, it was so fun having them here and I hate when they leave! Love you all!!

(Oh, and ignore cory in this pic.. the guy cant take a normal pic to save his life! Here he had to copy Leah's pose haha)

*4th of July*

Happy 4th of July!! So the fam came in town for a week of fun :) We started off the week at the Stadium of Fire! This year it was with David Archuletta and Brad Paisley, it was such a good show!

Monday: We started off the day very early to watch Logan run the 10k at the Freedom run in Provo. He ended up getting 8th place overall and 2nd in his age group! Way to go Logan!!!! Such a stud!!

...We then went over to join Lando and Becs at their ward breakfast...

...And later that night we had a BBQ with Corys fam and had fun with fireworks! I lit my very first firework this year!!

Tuesday: we spent a few hours at the lake on our boat "Misty" (we name everything :))

Wednesday: AMERICAN IDOL LIVE CONCERT!!!! :) (We somehow talked mom into staying after and getting autographs) Leah got a few signatures and Logan got a picture with his love!

(... and Logan was so happy and giddy the rest of the week because of this hahaha...) Here are a few other pics i got...

Here we are at dinner on the last night they were here, we had such a fun week!! I love that they were able to spend a whole week up here, and i miss them already!!!

*22nd Birthday*

This year my mom came up to visit so we could celebrate our birthday together! It is so fun having the same birthday as her but it is even more fun when we can share it together!

We took a walk up to bridal veil falls to start off the day...

...Then had dinner at La Jolla Groves with everyone...

...I love this picture of Cory and I! :) As if the Rascal Flatts tickets he got me for our anniversary were not enough, he also got me a chair i can lay out on in the backyard! :) He is full of surprises and way too good to me!!!...

...My cute sister in law made us Justin Bieber shirts, how cute!! (We watched his never say never documentary and are now obsessed!! haha)......

It was a blast having my mom here with me for a few days! Happy 22 and 48 to us!! (doesn't she look WONDERFUL for 48!!???) Love you mom!

Happy Birthday to Us!!

*1 year!!*

May 1st was our one year anniversary! ONE YEAR!? I cannot believe it! This year has been the best year of my life, we have never been happier!! So we decided to celebrate by going to Vegas for a few days! It was so nice being able to spend time in the SUN... oh, and it was nice spending time with each other! haha :)

One day we decided to walk the strip so of course we had to stop by the m&m and coke factory...

...If you know me at all you know that m&ms are my absolute favorite!!!...

...We stopped in the Paris hotel to see what food they had to offer. For those of you who don't know, Cory served part of his mission in France and so he wanted to see if the Paris hotel had true french food! This chocolate crescent was delicious!...

...But Cory was very disappointed when the french fries turned out to not be the real deal! :(...

...We also went and saw the Mystere Cirque Du Soleil show one night. Very cool!!!...

I am very lucky to have such a wonderful husband! I could not imagine my life without him and i cannot wait for many more anniversaries to come! :)

*Our first christmas*

It is about time i post our christmas pics! haha Well this was our very first christmas together... so fun! Here i am with all my girls from work at our christmas party, i love the girls i get to work with! :)

This year we decided to spend our first christmas in AZ. We were able to go down for an entire week, and like always it flew by! But oh my goodness was i so grateful to be out of the snow and in 70 degree weather!

Here we are at the Klepinger family christmas party. These are all the cousins that could make it!

Love the Payne family :)

Christmas morning..

We drew names this year for our gift exchange and Becca got Cory. She was so clever and got him a mini model of his Mustang... poor baby!

With the fam at the temple lights... notice Cory's shorts! That is all he wore that week haha! We had such a fun week with everyone and it is always hard leaving!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!
