August Favorites.

I just realized our previous post was the 100th post!

That is pretty exciting!

As I mentioned here this month has been

busy and pretty lame.

Benji has officially stopped working

at Olive Garden.

He is super excited to be able to just focus on school!

I am excited for us to be on the same schedule as each other!

We definitely loved that about this month!

Benji has been begging for new cologne

and he finally was able to decide on some we both liked.

And we love it!

It is the Gucci Guilty.

While we were in Jackson here

we came across this perfume for me that we both

really liked and it has been this past month I have really gotten into it.

It is the Apothia Pearl.

We have enjoyed spending the last month exploring

and doing new things around our house

but we or I am so ready for fall to be here!
We already have a ton going on in September that we are excited for!

Date Night.

After Benji got finished with his LAST shift at

Olive Garden.

The evening was spent spending time making a lazy dinner

and wandering around the mall

trying to see how much 25 cent candy and gumballs

we could fit in our mouth at once.

This week....

has flown by.

I can't believe it is already Friday.

Work this week has been super busy for me.

And for Benji.

In the evening, we spent the time together

before life gets even crazier with school starting again.

Hence, the lack of blogging.

My little surprise I came home to last night.

Plus, a few more.

That got eaten last night.

Ending the week well.

Take me out to the ball game...

Last night was Melaleuca employee night

at Melaleuca field here

in Idaho Falls.

We were able to spend the evening watching

the closest thing we have to a real baseball team here.

The Idaho Falls Chukars.

Neither Benji or I are really into baseball,

but we had a blast.

We met up with some people in my department and their families

and had a fun evening!

Tis the Season.

We have started planning our holiday items and specials at work.

We have taken our Christmas card pictures already.

At the movies the past few weeks, Christmas movie previews are already showing.

We have our tickets to go to Denver for Thanksgiving.

I already know what I am going to get Benji for Christmas.

Something for my Mom's birthday in January is in the works.

I am so excited for the holidays this year.

And it's only August.

I blame work.

Little Surprises.

Love the little surprises at work..
They make me desk look so much happier and brighter!

Month Picture Recap and Favorites.

At the beginning of the month, some of Benji's family

came in town for a fast trip.

It was fun to have them.

To have our first official out of town guests stay with us

for a few days.

Then right after they left, my Dad came into town

to give us the car.

Benji getting a new car.

Somedays, I wonder if he loves the car more than he loves me.

Just kidding.

But he does spend a lot of time looking at it and doing stuff to it.

He even named it Alexis and says it is a younger sister to Steffen's car.

Now, no questions asked we take his car wherever we go.

But, I am so grateful we were able to get him a new car before anything more

major happened to his old car.

And he is so grateful to have such a nice car and my Dad was willing to sell it to us.

My Birthday.

Enough said. We loved the whole birthday weekend celebration.

Cupcakes and all.

Family pictures.

One of the things I was super excited about before getting married

was family Christmas cards and doing Christmas photos.

I had been on the hunt of someone to take pictures

long before February 19th.

Then when I found someone I learned she was moving at the end of July,

so after much convincing to Benji we needed them even though

we have a TON of wedding pictures

I booked us a session.

I am so excited to see how they turned out.

We had so much fun with her this past week.

Also, we are very excited to announce I have accepted a job offer with

Melaleuca!

I will be in the Forecasting Department as a Forecasting Analyst.

I start on July 5th.

I am sad to be leaving Northwestern Mutual,

but am very excited to stretch myself at Melaleuca.

So, it is for sure we will be here in Idaho Falls for the next 2 years.

Now working.

I am now a working woman.

I have now taken jobs at

And

I could not be anymore excited!

I have always wanted

to work retail but I never have

and I am finally excited I am

having that opportunity.

Malad.

Friday I had an incredibly beyond brilliant plan.

It was great.

It was even better that Benji liked it.

Starting this upcoming weekend he is going to start working Friday, Saturday and Sunday

EVERY weekend.

Thank you Olive Garden. I appreciate it.

I wanted to see him.

So we met in Malad.

The halfway point between Salt Lake and Rexburg.

Malad consists of two gas stations, Subway, park and a church.

Our day consisted getting a Subway sandwhich for lunch and

being at the park for 6 hours and

Benji helping a little boy find his friends.

It was an experience. But fun.

This is the face Im going to wake up to for all eternity.

I can't wait.
