maybe happiness didn't have to be about the big, sweeping
circumstances, about having everything in your life in place. maybe it was about
stringing together a bunch of small pleasures

Lets talk weight.
I know. I know.

This is a dont even go there subject... but lucky for you this is our blog and Im writing and you can stop reading! JK I want you to keep reading! PLEASE....

Anyway so lately I have been trying really hard to loose weight and loose it right so that it doesnt come back in 2 weeks.

EAT RIGHT. EXERCISE.

What am I talking about right?! That doesnt work. You need to kill yourself in an unhealthy diet and exercise til you drop dead... WRONG! This works people!

I know this cause its been working for me! This method requires patience and diligence. It is slow but in the end you are healthy! Not starved! How awesome is that?!

In the past 3 weeks I have lost 7 pounds and am REALLY excited about it! All other times I have lost weight has been from over exercise and not enough food. And as soon as I have stopped I have gained it all back. This time I am changing my lifestyle and its awesome! I feel awesome! So I just had to share! :D

I originally opened a new post to tell you about my new found love for yoga... haha so lets get to that!

YOGA is AMAZING!

If you have never tried it and think it looks stupid... STOP. You are wrong! I used to think it was cool but what kind of work out could you really get?!.. Well let me just tell you about all the sweat and days of sore muscles I have had! It totally works!

And to make life EVEN better... I have never felt more relaxed in my life then I do after yoga. Try it. Serious. You WILL NOT be let down!

(Unless you have a weird and or physco instructor but lucky for me Anne rocks!)

This is all. Thanks for reading.

Hello the blogging world. Mr. Hammer and I are just as much in love as we were the day we got married plus even more! Today we have been married 11 months! 11 months! Thats almost 1 year! This blows my mind! This is VERY VERY happy! I to this day can not believe I found such a wonderful man and I am grateful everyday for his returning love! I will never take that for granted!

Anyways.. This past weekend was Labor Day and the beginning of BYU football season!

We went to Provo early so we could hang out with our amazing wyoming friend Darcee Lynn! It is always a good time with Darcee Lynn! See picture below for proof! :D


We always went to see our friend Billy who also gives us a good time! (sorry no picture of Billy)

Now before the beginning of the Hammers I had a very VERY large hatred for football. I couldnt see the point. I mean really?! Why would I be interested in people smashing into people and yada yada.... Well now I find myself looking forward to these games AND I cheer! Yes it is true! AND I enjoy it! :) I was even more excited about the game then I was Brick Oven. SHOCK! ;)
We had a blast watching our team win and enjoying each other and wearing matching shirts! I think that is my most favorite part of any sporting events we have ever been to! How nerdy is that?! Liking the sports so we can dress up the same! HAHA I love us! btw.. it was REALLY hot!.. Thats if you couldnt already tell by my red cheeks and matted hair! :D






BUT... The most WONDERFUL AMAZING rub it in your mommas face kind of blessing came about from this game. I was able to meet Elder Holland who was at this game! (You can see the not so great shot I got) I cant even begin to tell you the spirit that surrounds him and the joy I felt to shake his hand and look in his eyes. What makes it even better was seeing him at a football game and seeing him as a "real" person. Needless to say I know the prophets are special witnesses and I never would have the need to meet them but given the chance.... man being right there... yeah it was good. :D


Following the game we went camping with Tylers family. Which was a good time. If any of you know me I HATE CAMPING.. ALOT! But I go for Tyler and it always turn out I have a good time! Plus it was BEAUTIFUL! (see pictures below)



We camped over the weekend so we had to find the nearest church on Sunday which was an hour away. Brought back many memories of my childhood church drives. The rides home from church now are just too short. Not enough time to talk about all the good things we have just have partaken of! Anyways.. Why am I talking about the church?? Well... it was fenced it... and the entrances had CATTLE GUARDS! HAHAHA we are still laughing about the church in the middle of no where with the cattle guards! I am here to tell you.. even if there is cattle guards the church is still true. The spirit is still there. All good things are still there with the added joy of cattle guards! :)





All in all it was an AMAZING weekend!

BTW.. We have been married almost a year and so we are taking a trip! :D :D :D
