26

Happy birthday, baby dude. Today you turn 26. I met you four years ago today. I knew September 7 would be a special day for the rest of my life.

You make my forever a party.

Ughh...

Our obnoxious single neighbors threw an obnoxious singles party tonight.

9:30: Lame rap music starts blaring.


10:30: Cops show up and tell them to be quiet.


10:35: Music turns back on.


11:00: McKay and I take the law into our own hands. We removed our wedding rings and walked into the party house and stole their party food.

Holla!

Eight Inches Later...

I did it!

It feels so light and healthy and new, and I love it! And it takes ten minutes to do, vs. over an hour.

Bonus: Since I cut it, no one has asked if Tyler is my little brother, if I'm applying to BYU when I graduate high school, etc.

Fall's a coming.

I get more excited with each season's passing this year, because we are one season closer to being finished with school. But it does make me a little sad. I really love fall in Utah.

This will be our last fall with:

orange and yellow mountains
crisp evening walks through campus
hot apple cider from the creamery
cool mornings at farmers market
perfect afternoons at the neighborhood park

We're excited to move on with our lives, but I'm starting to think I'll miss our old life here. I'm going to savor it this year.

Tyler will watch its passing with a bag of chips. And a protective scowl.
