Adam

Adam Christensen is one Brandon's best friends and was his roommate at Lib Square. His brother Eric is also married to Brandon's sister, Katie, so he's pretty much part of the fam :)
At the Andersen Family Reunion, they blessed Eric and Katie's new baby boy, James, so Adam came too. He decided to come up a few days earlier to hang out with us. Him and Brandon went golfing and out on the dairy one morning. These pictures were taken before we went to the Martin Harris Pageant outside of Logan, Utah.

Brandon was being silly for the pictures

We love Adam! He is such a good friend and always makes me laugh so hard

Bowladrome

I won 2 free games of bowling at Old Navy while we were still living in Twin so here are a few pics..

We both pretty much bowled the worst games of our life...but it was free so that's okay.

BYU

First game today against #3 Oklahoma at the new Dallas Cowboys Stadium.

Lucky for Brandon, we just got our cable installed minutes ago.

Gooooo Cougars!

Sun Valley

We had a fabulous time in Sun Valley this past weekend celebrating our First Anniversary! It is gorgeous up there and the weather was nice and cool.

We saw this sly fox while driving around

After a delicious "fancy" dinner, we walked around town and took silly pictures and got a candy apple from the Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory (Be jealous, Debbie. Don't throw up, Chelsea)

Little Boo in a big chair

Brandon just had to find this spot where he loved to go fishing when he was little and would come to Sun Valley for Little League All-Stars..he wouldn't stop talking about how that is the greatest place to catch fish...in the world!

The next morning we took the ski lift to the very top of Bald Mountain

It was cold up there!

Para gliders

So beautiful!

*Random side note: After we got home Sunday night, I was talking to my dad on the phone and we figured out that he PAINTED the building that we are living in the Fall in 1970!! Isn't that hilarious?! I wonder if while he was painting our apartment he thought to himself "hmm I wonder if my 8th child will live in this apartment with her husband in the year 2009??" ;)

I am also sure it hasn't been painted since!

One Year!

I cannot believe it is our One Year Anniversary!!

Been the best year of my life..so far

I love you so much babe and cannot wait for eternity :)

Off to Sun Valley for the weekend

I forgot...

to put this picture in the last post. It is of my dad and brothers singing 2 of my grandma's favorite songs at the grave site :)

Love you guys.

A lot of driving for a little bit of time being there, but it really was good to see the family that I love!
