Fun Friday & Super Saturday

Andrew and I have had a very fun weekend so far!  Friday my office moved to a new building, and we didn't have desks yet, so I got to leave a little early.  I drove back to BYU and picked up Andrew and we stopped by Macey's grocery store to get some treats.  Then we headed to our apartment to pack some stuff up and went up to Park City for the night.  We found this hotel up there that we really like, and it's super cheap in the off season.  On our way we got some KFC and had a picnic at Squaw Peak.  It was beautiful up there overlooking what seemed like half the state.  The leaves were all pretty colors and there was a gorgeous sunset.  When we got to the hotel, we went hot tubbing, played games, and watched Chronicles of Narnia.  We had a lot of fun celebrating our six month anniversary, which is actually tomorrow.  It's hard to believe we've been married for half of a year now!  In some ways it has flown by, but in other ways it seems like we've always been married.  Married life is the best!

This morning we cooked breakfast in our hotel room, cleaned up our stuff, and headed back to Provo.  We stopped and bought Andrew new shoes (which he desperately needed) and then saw a sign for 80% off exercise equipment at this little store called Shape Up.  We decided to check that out and see if there was anything super cheap--there was!  We actually bought ourselves an elliptical machine!  It was only $105!  It's not a high end machine by any means, but we figured it works for our tiny budget and tiny apartment at least until Andrew graduates.  It will be really nice now that we are getting into winter to be able to exercise in our apartment.

The elliptical certainly is small for an exercise machine, but our car is not large by any standards (a little Mazda3).  The store is only about a 3 minute drive to our apartment, so we decided that even though only about 1/4 of the machine fit in the trunk, we could make it (it was either that or carry it back).  So we turned on our hazard lights and drove as slow as possible back to our apartment with our trunk open and 3/4 of the machine sticking out the back.  I'm sure that was a sight to behold.  Luckily it's not too heavy, so Andrew and I made it up the stairs to our 3rd story apartment without breaking it, or even scratching it up.  We are very excited to be able to work out without even leaving our apartment!  It looks a little hill-billyish in our living room, but it wouldn't fit anywhere else.  Luckily we can laugh and know it doesn't really matter as long as we are happy, and we certainly are!

Right now we're  working a shift in the clubhouse at our apartment building and then we're going to the BYU game, which we're stoked about!  ESPN game day!!  Go Cougars!  What a great weekend!
