I have a cat!!!

This is Bella's preferred spot to watch tv with us. She's getting way to big to climb on the back of the couches but she still does it anyway.
I think she will always view herself as little even though she isn't little at all anymore! She has officially outgrown Floyd. She's much taller (which isn't hard to do) and longer and heavier.
I think I have her pretty much house trained. However, she is not even close to being out of the puppy stage. She destroys anything plastic. And her newest found love is digging. She has almost dug under the fence a few times and her greatest accomplishment was digging all the way down to the sprinkler pipes. Thank goodness we came home because she could have chewed on the plastic sprinkler pipes for sure. I would love any advice from dog owners of how to stop the digging. I'm hoping she grows out of this soon. Either way I'm going to have to redo my whole backyard in a few years when she grows out of it.
I know I'm talking too much, but another thing is I never really believed that dogs only have one owner. However, Bella has decided Jared is her owner. Which is fine. They go everywhere together. It's really cute. But it is so frustrating because she won't come to me when I call if Jared is home. If he isn't home she will come, but I don't exist if he is home. It's kind of funny. Especially considering he never wanted a puppy in the first place.
Thanks everyone for letting me ramble! We are getting a dog house this weekend I think, and it should be crazy big so I will post pictures and tell the story when we get it.

The Bowtie...

So my husband Jared has worn a bowtie to church almost every Sunday for as long as I have known him. In our newest ward in North Salt Lake he is infamously known as "the bowtie guy". Many people in the ward don't even know his name, they just know him as the guy who always wears bowties. So a few of us thought it would be funny to distribute some of his bowties to others in the ward without him knowing and see his reaction when they all come in wearing bowties. I totally thought we (me especially) wouldn't be able to pull it off. I'm not good at all at keeping a straight face. And I was also so worried he would notice them being gone. But it worked! In the middle of church, when he finally realized what was going on he busted up laughing. It was awesome! Below are the participants...Nate, Kevin, Jared, and Brady
I will never forget this day! It was too funny! Thanks everyone!

Weddings!

Last weekend was a very busy weekend for us. We had two very close friends get married. Thursday was my close high school friend Brooke. She married an awesome guy named Josh. Congrats guys! And Brooke you looked amazing! However, I was a slacker and didn't take any pictures of the bride and groom. I did take a picture of Andrea and Mike though...

They are still under the newly wed category. They have been married for a year now.
Then on Friday we made the trek up to Logan for one of Jared's missionary companions and our very close friends Hayden and Melissa. I almost didn't get to go to this wedding because brilliant me forgot my temple recommend. But apparently it's a fairly regular occurrence. So they did their magic with computers and let me go. Thank goodness! It was beautiful!
The beautiful bride and groom!
Hayden and Jared, they have way too much fun together!

Thanks everyone for letting us be a part of your days!
