It was so refreshing to spend some quality time with my very best friends... I really needed it. We've been talking about planning a girls weekend for a while now, but with busy lives and schedules to work around, there were little things in the way of making it happen. So, one night Nicole and I were talking on the phone and decided just to set a date, and it actually worked out! I'm going to try to apply this to more areas of my life! :) We definitely missed friends who live far away and couldn't make it!<br />
<br />
St. George is the perfect place for a quick getaway. It's close, warm and there is so much to do! We all stayed at Nicole's house. She was THE perfect hostess! We had the best time just hanging around, eating, laying by the pool, watching chick flicks and TV shows and chatting for hours on end. It was so nice to <i>really </i>get caught up on everyone's lives. We all used to live together in the dorms and Alpine Village but have since spread out. I will always consider these girls my best friends and I'm so grateful to have each and every one of them in my life.<br />
<br />
I just love my besties!<br />

My dad was out of town so it was just my mom and I at home for a short girls weekend. It was just what I needed! I absolutely love being with my mom. We always have so much fun together. She takes such good care of me and spoils me every time I'm home... I never want to leave!<br />
<br />
We did some shopping {bridesmaid dress, beauty supply store, makeup} , ate at all my favorite places {Orgeano's, Rosa's, Johnny Rocket's}, colored and cut my hair, went to the movies and spent a lot of time chatting {and snuggling my puppy}. It was also great to see cousins and family I've been missing.<br />
<br />
It was a perfect {quick} trip home!<br />

We have loved having the Skousens here visiting! The whole family was together for the first time in a while! We're sad that it won't happen again until the holidays...<br />
<br />
Everyone was here for the first BYU game of the season. It was rainy and a little colder than I would have liked but it's always fun to cheer on the Cougs! I got a little teary-eyed hearing the band play the fight song. Ryan was totally embarrassed. I just love my alma mater!<br />
<br />
We drove up Provo canyon and took family pictures! It was my first glimpse this year of the gorgeous fall colors that remind me why I love Utah.<br />

We celebrated Rachel's 10th birthday with a family dinner at Brick Oven. It was so cute. She loved having the attention of all her older siblings with a party just for her. Rachel confiscated all iPhones for the entire dinner. She said it's "really annoying" when everyone is on their phones. Rachel, I agree! We played a game where each person takes turns answering a question about themselves. The answers had us laughing pretty hard!<br />

A few of us went out for 9 holes at Hobble Creek. Mackenzie took a golf class at BYU over the summer and it was really fun working on our games together!<br />
<br />
We just love having visitors in Provo!

This was our third year helping with the event and it has become something we look forward to and have loved to be a part of. I was hoping to share some photos we took of the gorgeous scenery and write about the fun time we had... but unfortunately the weekend did not go as planned. Tragically, a member of Mike's team experienced a terrible accident and passed away during the course of the race. To read about the events of the day, click <a href="http://www.cachevalleydaily.com/story/a-mesa-ariz-man-is-killed-in-lotoja-tragedy-20120909" target="_blank">HERE</a>.<br />
<br />
While we didn't know Rob personally, the impact of his tragic accident has greatly affected Ryan and I. He was a close friend of many people we know and a member of the cycling community in Arizona which both of our families are a part of. We met his beautiful wife Bridget on Saturday morning at the first support stop in Montpelier, ID. She instantly made an impact on me as we introduced ourselves and played the "name game." My heart is heavy as I think about Saturday and what a tough day it was. The day was supposed to end with a big celebration and dinner at the Mangy Moose as it had each year after the racers crossed the finish line. However, things did not go as planned.<br />
<br />
Again, my heart is heavy as I think about Bridget and her family. I felt so much sadness that day as we heard the news and spent time at the hospital. Many tears were shed. I am so grateful for the knowledge I have of eternal families. I have no doubt that Rob is in a better place and that his sweet wife Bridget will be reunited with him after this life. That is the only thing that kept us going on Saturday night as we tried to figure out what to do next and how to cope. I've never been in a situation like this one and I realized just how precious life is and how mortal we really are. I definitely squeezed Ryan a little tighter, told my family I love them, and realized I just can't sweat the small stuff. Life is really short.<br />
<br />
This was the last LOTOJA race Ryan and I will participate in. While we have made many beautiful memories along this route, this one will last much longer. We question whether we will keep riding our bikes or be done with the sport altogether. My thoughts and prayers go out to all those affected by this tragic accident, and especially to the Verhaaren family.<br />

The second week of August only means one thing... The Skousen's annual trip to Oceanside! We've decided this is our favorite week of the entire year and look forward to it for months and months. This year was especially nice because we took a long break from work, job hunting and "real life" to enjoy the surf and sun. The sun really came out to play for us! It was the hottest week I've ever experienced in Oceanside... Don't worry, we loved it!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Each day in Oceanside consists of the following:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Ryan golfing with his Dad in the early morning (while Shelby sleeps in)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Riding bikes or running on the beach for "exercise"</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
eating a yummy breakfast - most likely a donut or two - hence the need for "exercise"</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
sitting, reading, tanning & playing on the beach</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
lunch at Johnny Manana's</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
more beach time</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
dinner with the family</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
taking a walk to dairy queen or red cup frozen yogurt</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
and finally cuddling up in bed to watch the Olympics until we fall asleep</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
It's basically a dream life.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
By the end of the week everyone is ready to get back home to their routine and normal life. Unfortunately, we are never ready. I could totally be a beach bum for the rest of my life.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
There is never a shortage of beach games!</div>

Ryan in his infamous hat. He found it at Maverick for a whopping $25 and it has been his favorite purchase of the year. We say he looks like "the ultimate tourist." The only thing missing is thick white sunscreen on his nose. No sunburns or skin cancer for this one! </div>

We celebrated three years of marriage with a little weekend getaway to Las Vegas!<br />
<br />
Friday afternoon we drove down to Vegas and checked into our hotel. We stayed at the Westin resort at Lake Las Vegas. Our room had an awesome view of the lake! We went out for a fun dinner and to a totally different restaurant for dessert. I just love that everything stays open late in Vegas!<br />

Saturday was all about relaxing. We decided to spend the day at the pool before a going out for a night on the town. The pool at the Westin is just gorgeous. There was even a DJ there all day Saturday. It was so great to have lunch poolside, listen to great music and be lazy in the sun!<br />

This 4th of July was fabulous! <span style="background-color: white;">It was one of our all time favorites.</span><span style="background-color: white;"> </span><span style="background-color: white;">It was really nice to have a day off of work in the middle of the week. The night before, Ryan and I had a fun little sleepover in our living room. We stayed up late watching TV and slept in. It was awesome! We had a fun day relaxing, watching the Tour, going out to lunch and enjoying the day.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;">That night, we went to our friends <a href="http://www.pinnedbydani.com/" target="_blank">Dani</a> and Colby's house for a BBQ and homemade firework show. </span><span style="background-color: white;">The food was amazing! Dani is quite the little cook and <a href="http://www.pinnedbydani.com/2012/07/05/4th-of-july-on-a-budget/" target="_blank">she found tons of ideas on Pinterest</a> that made our BBQ extra cute. She was so sweet to make veggie skewers for us and tons of yummy treats and drinks. After we were stuffed and the sun went down it was time to start the show!</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;">Ryan and Colby drove all the way to Evanston Wyoming a few weeks ago to buy illegal fireworks for the 4th. With all the fires we've been having in Utah, I was a little nervous about the boys using them but it turned out great! </span><span style="background-color: white;">Not only did they have the awesome "aerial" fireworks, but they also made their own "cherry bombs" with empty plastic bottles and gun powder. They are quite the little pyros!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: white;">We laid comfortably on blankets in the grass while the boys lit up the sky. I lit a roman candle, and my favorite firework a "ladybug" and of course the girls did sparklers. There was a lot of booming and we are semi-deaf, but I'll take a homemade firework show in Utah over a sweaty Arizona show any day! Thanks again to Dani and Colby for the awesome night. We just love you two!</span><br />

A while back Ryan and I saw that <span style="background-color: white;">Keane, </span><span style="background-color: white;">one of our favorite bands, was going on tour and stopping in Salt Lake City. We were so excited because Keane has been on our list of must see concerts forever. Our great friends Chase and Jenna love them just as much as we do, and we knew they would love to come with us.</span><span style="background-color: white;"> I sent a text to Jenna and Chase letting them know that tickets had gone on sale and we better buy them quick! Jenna texted back saying that they were in, but </span><span style="background-color: white;">she planned to surprise Chase with the tickets for father's day which was about a week before the show.</span><span style="background-color: white;"> </span><span style="background-color: white;">She even deleted the text from his phone before he saw it! We had such a hard time keeping this secret! But Chase was really surprised. We all looked forward to the concert for a few months and finally the day came that we got to go!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I was really excited for the show and honestly, it blew my expectations out of the water. It was a moving experience that I'll never forget. The lead singer sounded truly amazing live. I think he sounds better than a recording. The venue was pretty small so we felt really close to the band. It was so fun to be outside on a gorgeous summer night sitting in the grass listening to our favorite music. All the band members said that this was their favorite stop of their tour so far and it was obvious they were having a great time. I truly never wanted it to end. It was like a greatest hits concert. They played all the best old songs as well as my favorites from their newest album.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
After the show, we decided to wait by their bus to see if we could meet any of the band members. Each member of the band came out one at a time to sign autographs and take pictures. Since I am short, I just nudged my way up to the front and got to talk with each member of the band while they autographed my tickets. They are all the nicest, cutest guys ever and took time to talk with every person who was waiting. It was the coolest experience to actually meet the people who made some of my favorite music. For once I wasn't even start struck and had awesome little conversations with each band member. We had such a fun time with our favorites Chase and Jenna and we couldn't imagine having as much fun with anyone else. It was truly a night we'll never forget!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Before the show, we went to dinner at Settebello.</div>

We spent a beautiful summer evening up at Hobble Creek Golf Course with our friends Tanner and Joellen. We decided to walk the course and enjoy the amazing weather we've been having. I have to say, I am starting to really love the game of golf! I decided that if Ryan is going to spend a considerable amount of time in our lifetime golfing, I might as well enjoy it with him. Luckily Ryan is an amazing teacher and has been helping me work on my game. We had a great time walking, talking, laughing and hitting the golf ball too! We always have a great time with Tanner and Joey and we're glad they invited us to play the course!</div>

We have become pretty good at these quick weekend getaways and will take any excuse to spend time in the sunshine with our friends. We had an absolute blast!<br />
<br />
Thursday night we hopped in the car with Tanner and Joellen. There were a few bumps in the road right off the bat. When we were around Fillmore we realized the car needed more oil. The boys spent a good while checking every single gas station in town trying to find the right type of oil to put in the car. In the meantime, Joellen and I waited at Burger King where we spilled an entire Dr. Pepper on the floor. haha! Once the oil situation was figured out, we were back on the road. We picked up <a href="http://blairandnicole.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Nicole</a> in St. George and spent the entire drive chatting and listening to music. We were having way too much fun to be sleepy. We snuck into the house in the early morning hours to get a little sleep.<br />
<br />
It was so great staying at the Pugmire's beautiful home. We enjoyed amazing home cooked meals, lots of time in the hot tub, and great walks around their neighborhood. Although the weather was a little colder than we would have liked, the sun came out for a perfect afternoon at Newport Beach. When our friends get together, there is never a shortage of conversation. I don't think there is anything better than lounging around with your besties and talking about anything and everything. We talked a lot about babies and loved on <a href="http://www.jamesandkarlybarker.com/" target="_blank">Karly and James'</a> brand new Annie and <a href="http://beejerandme.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">BJ and Ellery's</a> little Ellie. <span style="background-color: white;">We are all totally obsessed with those little ones! </span><span style="background-color: white;">We all played the "pencil trick" to predict how many babies we will have. Every night we stayed up talking. One night we told scary stories and legitimately freaked ourselves out! Honestly i</span><span style="background-color: white;">t was a perfect weekend! </span><span style="background-color: white;">Thanks <a href="http://daronanddanibree.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Dani Bree and Daron</a> for inviting us. </span><span style="background-color: white;">We can't wait until we have another excuse to visit California! </span><br />

My car is a stick shift and I actually love it! Driving in stop and go traffic is definitely more annoying, but I feel like I'm driving a race car. It's been a little bit of a nuisance when Ryan couldn't drive my car or move it if he needed to. The other night we decided it was finally time for him to learn! At 25! We started at the church but eventually moved to the parking lot at the Provo Towne Center mall where we could do laps and donuts. It was so fun! I saw visions of teaching our kids how to drive one day. I think all kids should learn how to drive stick in the beginning... We only stalled a few times and by the time we were done Ryan was practically a pro and driving great! Ry was very impressed that I've been driving a stick shift since I was 16... and in heels! We definitely felt like teenagers again for a night.<br />

Wow... where to start? So much has been going on in our little lives lately!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The most exciting update is Ryan's graduation at the end of April! Woo hoo! No more classes, tests, homework, etc.! It still feels very surreal that we are both college graduates! I don't know when it will finally sink in that we are no longer students. Ryan is now on the hunt for a job and trying to decide what career path he should follow. It is a very exciting time! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am still loving my job and enjoy going to work each and every day. I feel so lucky! I work with amazing people and work is truly fun!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We are enjoying the warm weather that finally arrived! Summertime in Utah is truly amazing. Especially after visiting our families in Arizona, I am thankful for the more mild heat that we enjoy up here. We have been spending a lot of time outside! Tennis has become our most recent obsession. Ever since <a href="http://shelbandry.blogspot.com/2012/04/palm-springs-and-birthday-weekend.html" target="">our weekend in Palm Springs</a>, we are out playing almost every day after work. We are also back on our bikes and looking forward to some fun rides this summer!</div>

We had a great Mother's Day! We wish we could have spent the day with our moms and are very grateful for all that they do for us. It was extra special because we got to Skype with our amazing missionary! Cole is doing so well in England. It was really fun to talk with him and see his cute face! I am so proud and impressed with how grown up my little brother is. He is such a great example to me. Ryan predicted that I would bawl like a baby while talking to him and/or afterwards. Honestly, I would have guessed the same thing! But he is doing so great and is so happy that I had no reason to be sad. We know he is right where he is supposed to be and we couldn't be more proud. I have started a blog where I post his weekly letters and photos. You can check it out <a href="http://www.eldercolemosley.com/" target="_blank">HERE</a>!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am also totally obsessing over <i>Downton Abbey</i>. I watched the first season in about a week on Netflix and I'm DYING to watch the second season. It's our family favorite! Anyone else loving the drama at Downton?</div>

The weather was so gorgeous and sunny! We are both so ready for spring to officially make it to Utah. I'm over this "beautiful one day, then raining and freezing the next" thing we've got going on. It was not our week to teach our Gospel Doctrine class, and we were asked to substitute in nursery. I can't lie, I just love seeing Ryan with the little cuties! We took them outside to try to tucker them out and calm them down a little bit. They just tried to run away. We were really missing our families on Easter Sunday. I cooked an Easter meal for us complete with Vegan Coconut Lemon cake. We even ate on our wedding china for the special occasion. It was a great day to remember the resurrection of Our Savior. Life is good and we are so happy to welcome Spring!<br />

A few weeks ago we were invited by our friends Tanner and JoEllen to spend a weekend at their place in Palm Springs. The weekend we were planning to go happened to be over my birthday! I can not imagine a better way to spend my birthday than in the sunshine with good friends.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
We left Thursday night after work. We took the most direct route to Palm Springs which led us from Provo to Vegas, and then from Vegas through the Mojave National Preserve and Joshua Tree National Park. It was a little terrifying at night because there are no street lights, signs or anything. It was just us and the bunny rabbits. Luckily we had GPS to get us there! We arrived at 2:30 AM California time. It was already my birthday! We crashed in the most comfortable bed, but I could hardly sleep because of my excitement for the weekend to come!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Friday morning we woke up and the girls took a nice little jog. The resort is actually 30 minutes south of Palm Springs in La Quinta. La Quinta is the most beautiful little city and the resort is to die for. I absolutely love desert landscaping, so I was just in heaven. The resort was perfectly manicured, with bright flowers and palm trees everywhere. We spent the day relaxing at the pool in the glorious 90 degree weather. That night we all went out to a fun dinner in Old Town La Quinta. I'm so grateful that everyone made me feel so special on my birthday! I couldn't imagine a better way to spend my day!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The rest of the trip was spent with more lounging by the pool, more yummy food, lots of chatting with the girls and just relaxing. Although it was just a quick weekend trip, the hours seemed to linger forever. We feel like we packed a lot of fun into the short time we were there. We feel so much better with a little sun on our white skin! It was the perfect little weekend getaway. Thanks again to the Runia's for an amazing time! We sure do love our friends.<span id="goog_808093329"></span><span id="goog_808093330"></span><br />

A lot has been happening in the our lives lately!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here's a little bit of what we've been up to...</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
*We are so thankful that we've had a mild winter this year. It has still been snowy and cold at times, but it hasn't been as bad as years past. We do miss good snow for snowboarding, but it's been a lot easier to drive to work every morning!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
*I am loving my job. I work at a social media marketing agency and I love that being on Facebook and blogs all day is part of my job description.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
*Ryan is finishing up his last semester at UVU. We could not be more excited! We are finally starting to see the light at the end of this long tunnel called college life.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
*I've started a <a href="http://www.saltedsugarblog.com/" target="_blank">new blog</a> where I share thoughts, things that inspire me and my favorite recipes. Make sure to check it out <a href="http://www.saltedsugarblog.com/" target="_blank">here</a>!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
*Me&Ry have been called to be Gospel Doctrine teachers in our ward. We will team teach together every other week. Ryan knows so much about the scriptures and I am definitely a talker (haha). We think we'll make a pretty good team! We're looking forward to getting more involved in our ward and meeting more people.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
*We have had a few really fun weekend getaways in the last few months... </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
First, at the Pugmire's cabin in Park City which is always a great time!</div>

I am so excited for March! We are both looking forward to spring, more sunshine, my birthday month, breaking out the bikes and just enjoying our time together. We are very busy but are extremely happy and loving life!

Christmas is always my favorite day of the year and 2011 was no exception. Our holiday was absolutely perfect. I say it every year, but this year we had the best Christmas ever! We spent the majority of the holiday with the Skousen family. Because <a href="http://shelbandry.blogspot.com/2011/01/christmas-day-in-kansas.html" target="_blank">we were in Kansas for Christmas last year</a>, we were especially excited to have a nice warm holiday in the "Mesa wonderland."</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We had a great time at the Skousen Christmas Eve party. Grandpa Dick famously played his accordion, there was a talent show, nativity, delicious food, gift exchanging and family fun.</div>

We woke up early Christmas morning and opened presents. We were seriously spoiled! It is so fun to be with Rachel on Christmas morning and see her excitement about her gifts and letter from Santa Claus. We had a yummy breakfast together and quickly got ready for church. Celebrating Christmas on Sunday made the holiday extra special. We were able to focus on the Savior and the real reason for Christmas. We were able to feel the Spirit through beautiful words and music. It was great to be together with the whole family.</div>

After church we spent some time with my family and opened presents. This is the last Christmas with Cole we will have for two years! I can't believe it. I definitely soaked it all in and enjoyed having my entire family together. This year was especially fun because we all picked out gifts for each other. Normally mom and dad do all the shopping but this year the kids were given money to buy presents. It was so much fun! I got so excited to see the look on their faces as they opened the gifts I picked out. Ryan is the best gift giver and always comes up with sweet surprises and keeps me on my toes. There is nothing like being in love on Christmas! </div>

This Christmas was perfect. We had an amazing day filled with family, food, laughter, gift giving, singing and joy. Celebrating Christmas on a Sunday was extra special as our thoughts were turned to the Savior and the real reason for this holiday season. Sending our love to our family and friends everywhere!</div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">2011 has been a great year for Me&Ry.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This year we have seen countless blessings. We have experienced a lot of fun as well as many big changes. Possibly the biggest highlight was <a href="http://shelbandry.blogspot.com/2011/05/graduation.html" target="_blank">graduating from BYU</a>, <a href="http://shelbandry.blogspot.com/2011_05_01_archive.html" target="_blank">interning in New York City</a> and entering the working world. I have a great job that I love, doing social media marketing. Ryan is anxious to finish school and will be done this April. We are enjoying living in the beautiful mountains of Provo where we ride our bikes in the summer and <a href="http://shelbandry.blogspot.com/2011/01/sundance.html" target="_blank">snowboard in the winter</a>. We were able to go to <a href="http://shelbandry.blogspot.com/2011/07/lake-powell.html" target="_blank">Lake Powell</a>, <a href="http://shelbandry.blogspot.com/2011/07/to-sea.html" target="_blank">take numerous trips to California</a>, <a href="http://shelbandry.blogspot.com/2011/10/fall-and-visitors_09.html" target="_blank">attend General Conference</a> and <a href="http://shelbandry.blogspot.com/2011/11/st-george-getaway.html" target="_blank">hike in St. George</a> and <a href="http://shelbandry.blogspot.com/2011/08/park-city.html" target="_blank">Park City</a>. This year we have been especially blessed to make many great memories with amazing friends, old and new. Living so far from family has made us really rely on good friends as our adoptive family members. We have made many friendships this year that will surely last a lifetime. We are looking forward to 2012 and the excitement of a new year... but it will definitely be hard to top 2011. </div>

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas around here! Decorations are finally up and our weekend was filled with wonderful holiday activities. Our DVR is filled with recorded Christmas specials and holiday music is the only thing coming out of our speakers. We absolutely love this time of year!</div>

We took our very first trip to see the temple lights in Salt Lake with Chase, Jenna and Charlotte. We have the best time with these guys! We feel so lucky to have them as friends. Little Char looked beyond adorable in her puffy coat and kitty hat. She was quite the trooper in the frigid temperatures. Getting all bundled up in coats, scarves and gloves made me realize that winter is finally here! Admiring the twinkle of the lights was the perfect way to bring in the Christmas season. I am trying to enjoy the chilly weather and actually hoping for a little "white" for Christmastime.</div>

I just love Thanksgiving. This year was relaxing and perfect. Me&Ry were so excited to have an entire week in Arizona with all our favorite things and people. We ate like kings, spent time with friends and family, did a little shopping and slept in!<br />
<br />
This year my mom hosted the big dinner at our house. We had a great time shopping for food, planning out our dishes and even cooking together! I usually leave the cooking up to the moms but I had a blast being in the kitchen with the other ladies.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
One of my favorite parts of our trip was being able to ride bikes with the Mosley family. They are hardcore and I love it. I rode almost 125 miles throughout the week, including a long 50 mile ride on Saturday. Let's just say we have a new hobby!<br />
<br />
The very best part of Thanksgiving is reflecting on all that we have to be thankful for. Our health, families, friends, the gospel, educations, job, brother's mission call and of course each other!</div>

Me&Ry spent the weekend before Thanksgiving in St. George with some of our best friends. We met up with <a href="http://jamesandkarlybarker.com/">Karly and James</a>, <a href="http://blairandnicole.blogspot.com/">Nicole and Blair</a> and <a href="http://daronanddanibree.blogspot.com/">Dani Bree and Daron</a>. We all used to live just steps away from each other. Unfortunately growing up, graduating and new jobs have spread our besties all over. We figured Thanksgiving would be the perfect time to get together for a few days.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We absolutely love St. George! Luckily Nicole and Blair live in this adorable city so we get to visit a lot. We woke up Saturday morning to the most gorgeous sunny weather. That was the perfect way to start off the weekend. While we waited for the rest of the group to arrive, a few of us explored the famous red rocks.</div>

"Fat man's" is a teeeeny tiny crack between two rocks where you can only scoot through sideways. I was truly terrified to go in. I took two steps into the crack and freaked out. I didn't think I could make it. I have never felt so cramped, stressed and claustrophobic. Nicole and Karly convinced me that I could make it through and Nicole even held my hand the entire way. Let me say it was the biggest adrenaline rush! There were some spots where the rocks were pressing up against my back and chest and I barely scraped by.</div>

This hike was so much fun! Although Ry tried to go in, only the girls could fit through. It made us feel pretty good that we are way skinnier than our husbands! :)</div>

To me, the best part of Halloween is having a reason to celebrate. We partied at the Young's house on Halloween night and had an absolute blast. We ate chili, cornbread and too many of Dani Bree's famous cookies. We admired costumes and handed out candy to the cutest trick-or-treaters. We played games and laughed until we cried. I love that we can hang out until all hours of the night with these fun friends. This Halloween was definitely one to remember.</div>

To get in the spirit of Halloween we went to a very spooky pumpkin patch with some friends. The main attractions were a haunted house and haunted hay ride. Ryan has never enjoyed <i>anything</i> scary. Luckily he caught the spirit of Halloween and decided to join in on the fun! There was no way I was going without him. The haunted house was not only inside, but also in a forest and a corn maze. We felt a little chill in the air and held each other tight as we were scared left and right.<span class="Apple-style-span" style="text-align: -webkit-auto;"> The best part of the night happened when a monster with a chain saw started chasing us through the corn maze. Somehow Ryan was separated from the entire group. The chain saw man saw that he was alone and said, "hey, where do you think you're going tall guy?!" as he cornered him all alone. We all got a great laugh out of that one.</span></div>

After some fun on the farm we headed back to Dani Bree and Daron's house. We warmed up with some hot chocolate and watched <i>The Others</i>... Let's just say I didn't sleep too well that night.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I guess that's what Halloween is all about!</div>
