best month ever.

I have always thought that May is easily, by far, the best month EVER!
First of all… it is my birthday
Second of all… it's Bryan's birthday
Third of all… it's our six month anniversary! 
not to mention it gets warm… school gets out… the pool opens… you know

(shout out to the time Bryan and I had a combined birthday party at age 17)

although it's been a crazy month, it has been so fun to just celebrate always! 
In April, Bryan thought it was Teacher Appreciation week (turns out it was actually the first week of May) but I was absolutely spoiled! Since then we have had lots of different "honorary weeks" where we just spoil each other for seriously… pretty much no reason.  it's awesome.

I can and can't believe we have been married for six months! 
six months of...

breakfast in bed
getting my lunch made for me every morning
our Saturday rituals of sleeping in, gym, and wheat pancakes
our weekly date nights
lots of surprises
nightly back tickles
lots of Parks and Rec and cuddling all day
laughing my brains out
lots of flowers & sweet notes
never having to get out of bed if it's under 80 degrees
lots of help around the house and dinner cooked
lots of sappy late night talks
lunch dates at work
spanish lessons
lots of making out
lots of motivation and encouragement
hours and hours of scooter rides
hilarious inside jokes & text messages
so much fun working with each other
being treated amazingly with all my different diseases/sicknesses
lots of "diet coke time"
lots of happiness
infinite love.

my poor husband has seen me at my absolutely, crazy-insane worst and still treats me every day like I'm his perfect flawless fiancĂ© (before I ever made a mistake).  I am so lucky to have someone as weird, patient, hilarious, and handsome as him.
 it's my life's greatest accomplishment.



Bryan's dad told me that he thinks our birthdays are so close because we couldn't stand to be apart before we were born. 

I think he's right.

California.

UPDATE:
School is wrapping up in 3 short weeks!
I've been busy trying to figure out swimming lessons this summer
I went to Oregon for a girls trip
I went to a family trip in California!
My husband turned the big 2-3!



Oregon
It was amazing spending time with my mom and sisters in Oregon! It is so beautiful and GREEN there, I can't wait to live there one day! My sisters are seriously my best friends and they kill me over how weird they are, but it was so much fun seeing them and the crazy children.  



It was the first time being away from Bryan, and let's just say it was rough.  It was amazing being reunited again and made us love each other more.



Luckily for me, only two short weeks after our trip to Oregon, we all went as a Family to California and we never had to leave each other sides! 

California was amazing! (PS. On the way there we rode the PRIMM roller coaster in NV and if you EVER get the chance, DO IT and don't miss it because it was WORTH IT!) We rented a home in Anaheim so we could easily walk to Disneyland. We got into California late Saturday night and the party began.
Sunday was Bryan's BIG DAY! He turned 23! We spent the day at Huntington Beach, but it was so windy we were getting destroyed by sand.  However, I did get in the ocean and play with Bryan because it was his birthday.  My sister said that love changes people, and that was her proof. 




Monday was Disneyland.  In Disneyland my brothers, Bryan and I hit ALL the rides- and the lines were TOO long and it was WAY TOO HOT so we only spent one day there, even though the rest of my family was spending two days there.  Although it was hot and crazy, Disneyland was a lot of fun; however, i wouldn't go so far to say it was "magical". 





Tuesday was another beach day at Laguna Beach.  The water was freezing, but so much fun! It wasn't windy and it was a perfect beach day. 




Wednesday was probably my favorite day- my brothers, Bryan and I all went to Six Flags.  It took longer to get there than expected and it closed early so I was nervous we would hardly get to go on any rides.  But I was WRONG! The park was pretty much empty, so we walked on to almost every ride! We had time not only to go on every ride, but go on rides multiple times!!! And of course, we saw "Flo Rida" the famous rapper there, so… that happened. I love Six Flags! But I think I've had my roller coaster fix for a few months…especially after reading about all there accidental deaths as soon as we got back to the house.





And besides all of our daily activities, we of course played cards every night, had BBQs, went night swimming/hot tubbing, and of course Bryan shaved his head. 

The trip was so much fun and I'm so proud of Bryan for turning 23! 

but like I always say… "you gotta get me to that party, boy
