Feeling proud

So I just wanted to talk about how proud I am about my husband. He really is a great guy with so many good qualities and great potential. I love spending time with him and learning from him. My husband helps me become a better person. He's very smart, dedicated, passionate about learning, very spiritual, etc. I could talk about him for hours, but I only have a few minutes because I have to run to class.
Anyways, I guess I wanted to talk about him because this week he's been very blessed with things related to his career and I just feel so proud of him. Yesterday, he got to do a presentation about his research that he's doing. I was very excited because I helped him create his poster. I took pictures, created some diagrams, and graphs. This is probably the only time I've been able to help him with something related to school. I usually don't understand any of his homework (mechanical engineering stuff) so this was a unique experience for me :) He did a great job during his presentation. Some of his family stopped by the Clyde to hear his presentation. This weekend Danny is going to Chicago. He got a travel scholarship to go there for the weekend. I'm not exactly sure what it actually is, but he's going to be learning about grad-schools and their engineering programs, doing some workshops, and just making connections with some important people. He's going with 2 other people who also got this scholarship. He's also being doing some interviews for internships for this summer. This is so exciting! Thinking about our future makes me very excited. I've been blessed with such a great man in my life. What else can I ask for!

I love weekends!

I just want to blog about the AWESOME weekend that I had. It was greattt!!!! Way too fun :)

On Friday, Danny and I went to the formal Homecoming dance. We got to dressed up pretty fancy. I actually didn't have a dress so I had to buy one the day before. I was so lucky to get something cute and it was super cheap. Danny and I wanted to match :) Two things that I love to do: get all fancy and match with someone else. Before the dance we had some dinner at our place. I made a kind of fancy meal but I forgot to take a picture of it :(

Danny did this all by himself :)
Wearing his favorite apron lol
My brother took this picture before we left. Thank Ron!

 The dance was in Spanish Fork. The place was nice. It was funny to see ONLY couples at a dance. We actually found some of our friends there including our neighbors :) Music wasn't the best but it was way fun dancing with my loving husband. He was so funny. I don't know where he got some moves but he was showing off a little lol. They were also giving cheesecake and crepes. It was so good! Danny is a big fun of cheesecake and I'm a big fun of crepes. So yummy!! They also had carriage rides. It was so exciting. I tried taking pictures but it was dark and I only had the camera from my phone. Pictures didn't turn out very well but that's okay. I had  a blast with Danny. Super fun date <3





Cheesecake and crepes!
Pretty place
I'm so lucky
Carriage ride. Tried taking a picture of the horses but it was too dark 

Saturday morning Danny and I went to the Homecoming parade! My brother was going to be dancing with the ballroom team. They gave us blue pancakes there but this year they didn't put chocolate chips. Sad. We sat with some friends from our old ward including one of my old roommates, Alyson. It was lots of fun.

fun swing dancing
This one was funny. It was Mormon and the Book of Mormon. 
Saturday night we went to the BYU football game! My old roommate, Haylee, came to Provo to watch the game. Danny and I went with Ron, my cousin Jordan and Haylee. We got some free shirts! yay for free stuff! BYU won!!!! It was fun. By the end of the game my throat was hurting really bad. I guess that's a good thing. After the game we went to the Malt Shoppe and then we went to the Nickelcade to play some games. It was a really fun night. We were obsessed with a game that was giving us a lot of tickets. I got about 600 tickets by the end of the night lol. but then I didn't know what I wanted to get with all the tickets. I ended up getting some candy haha. I still have like 450 tickets left. It was nice to see my old roommate Haylee. She's so funny. Sadly, by the end of the football game everyones phones were dead so I didn't take pictures :(
This is the only picture that I took. Danny and I before we met with everyone.
Sunday we went to our new ward. Yep, we decided to stay in the Student married ward. I'm pretty excited. Danny already got a calling yesterday. I met a girl from Relief Society that came up to me and sat with me. She was way nice. Church was good. I was way tired from not getting enough sleep. I guess I'm not used to partying too much anymore. After church we made dinner. We had Ron (as usual) and Jordan over for dinner. Then Danny and I went to my freshman reunion. It was at my old bishop's house. Bishop Campbell has a nice house. Him and his wife have not changed a bit since I met them 4 years ago. I got to see lots of friends. Some of them are already married. Some didn't go because they are not here in Provo anymore. There were so many people, I didn't even get to talk to half of them. I probably didn't even see like half of them. We had to leave early because we had plans with some friends. It was nice to see bishop though. Him and Danny had a nice conversation about grad school right before we left.
After my freshman reunion some friends came over to make apple pie- Ron, Jordan, Alyson, and Kevin. It was fun. It took a longggg time to make that apple pie. We were just talking and having lots of fun. When the apple pie was in the oven we decided to play "Truth and Dare". It got a little intense lol. There were some funny things that we had to do, especially the boys. Ron had to update his facebook status and talk about a moment when he saw a cute girl and what he thought. Ron said he needs to married a cougarette. Ron also has to go on a date this Saturday with a girl from his ward. Kevin planned everything for him. Jordan is going on a date with a girl from his FHE group. I had to wake up early and make some breakfast for Danny. (That one didn't happend this morning lol. I couldn't wake up, maybe tomorrow). Kevin had to go out and scream really loud the name of the girl he likes. hahaha that one was super cute! I'm not allowed to say her name though. (We also almost got kevin to have a fake proposal to Alyson). Lots of dates came out of this apple pie thing hahah. It was way fun. I was exhausted by the end of the night. Pie was good too :)

Kevin wasn't very excited to do this
It's super dark, but this is Kevin in the middle of the street screaming. Alyson and I wanted to make a video of this but Kevin didn't let us lol :(
I wish I would've taken more pictures of everyone.
Anyways.. it was a fun weekend. Now is time to do lots of work. Happy Monday everyone!
