Bleeding Blue, or Irish Through and Through?

Matt and I were able to get some awesome tickets to the last Notre Dame home basketball game on Friday night through my work.  It was such a fun experience.  Matt says we were so close we had to look up to the players. 

Isn't this shamrock sweet?

The arena was incredible... so we were pretty proud that it's named after us.

We aren't rabid Notre Dame fans yet, but being there close enough to see the players and coaches interacting, with all the people, really got us pumped.

I think we'll always bleed BYU blue, but we were definitely feeling some Irish pride.

Matt and I at our first Notre Dame sporting event!!

Matt and I the Match-Makers:

On Wednesday Matt and I set his friend Tony up with my friend Steph. First we went to the Jazz game - here are a few pictures from the game :) Oh and they WON! :)

Steph and Tony at the Game:)

Steph and Tony at the game again - I just like this picture cause there is a lady flexing in the background :) haha

Matt and I at the Game :)

Steph eating our yummy salad - we got pasta too but there aren't any pictures :)

Steph and I feeding each other - I love this girl we are kindred spirits :)

Tony and His Burger

Matt and his burger! mmmm

Look how big these are?!

His face disappears...

Steph and Tony with the HUGE burger!

I didn't really eat any of it.. sick! haha

Apparently the pickle on his lip was hot cause this was right before he said, "Ouch! Hot pickle!"

Matt's burger after he was done with it - it was HUGE! I'm proud for him eating what he did and he felt sick enough - I can't imagine how Tony felt afterward! We didn't even take this home cause he was so sick after just watching Tony eat the whole thing!

Starting to get sick...

And sicker...

The LAST bite! Look at that plate! I can't believe they gave him fries too! haha

Thursday Date Night:

First Stop: Mulligans Miniture Golf :) Matt and I went here on one of our first dates last November - Luckily it was a little warmer this time around :) We had fun just goofing around and we were the only ones there so that was kind of fun. I think the best moment was when my ball hit Matt's out of the way and I made a hole in one! :) Matt calls it cheating - I call it skill (or luck - either one) ;)

Matt and his wicked putt ;)

This is my golf pose - I really just liked the cool bench ;)

The sun was setting and the mountains looked really cool.

After golfing we went shopping to get me some new jeans and running clothes for winter. We had luck with the jeans - but not with the running clothes unfortunately.

After shopping we came home, took some cookies to our friends, and played Jenga:

This is a distraction tactic... take pictures of your opponent so they can't concentrate...

The Jenga face

Getting taller!

And taller!

This picture was taken a few turns before it fell... I made it fall :( - it made a really loud noise on the glass table and scared me half to death! We were surprised how tall it got!
Then we took some time to watch a little TV - eat snacks and read before going to bed :) It was a fun night :)
We have a fun weekend planned - so hopefully I'll have some more to blog about on Monday. Matt woke up feeling really sick - so here's hoping he gets better in time to partay this weekend!

5 MonthS! :)

We made the best decision of our lives 5 months ago today! :) It has gone by so fast - but at the same time it seems like we have known each other forever! We recently passed the one year mark since our first date last September 27th! It seems like just yesterday that we made the somewhat awkward drive to the Hale Center Theater in West Jordan to see The Secret Garden - a play I had already seen just a few days before, and one that he was hardly interested in watching. I don't think either of us expected a 2nd date... but one thing led to another and here we are! I altered a few of our wedding pictures and I'm going to post them just for fun - even though I know you have seen plenty! What's a blog post without pictures anyway?

The one above is my favorite! I think I'll print it :)

Matt and I

I'm liking this look of mine? :)


Sometimes Matt is camera shy... Steph and I snuck these ones in while he was on the phone :)
