Today, Brandon and I have been married for 3 wonderful months. Right now, both of us are in school at BYU. Brandon is studying Biology and is a pre-dental student. I have not officially declared a major but I am thinking about doing Home and Family Living. We are both working. I work at the BYU Student Health Center as a receptionist and Brandon is a student athlete tutor for "upper level" science classes. Our days mostly consist of school, work, eating, studying, and we try to fit sleep in. In the past three months we have been very blessed and have enjoyed some great experiences together. Here are a few of those experiences:

Our Honeymoon:

Unfortunately this is the only picture of us on our honeymoon. We went to Midway and stayed at the Homestead Resort. We had a great time other than the fact that I was sick in bed half of the time. I blame it on the pulled-pork sandwich I ate. I slept most of the time and Brandon was nice enough to stay with me the whole time. Thank goodness for T.V. When I wasn't in bed, we swam, went to Park City, relaxed, and ate. It was a much needed vacation.

Intramurals: 

Brandon played on an intramural soccer and basketball team this semester. His soccer team went undefeated and won the championship. His basketball team did fine, but they did not make it to the championship. I really enjoy watching Brandon play sports, some may think it is my only hobby, but little do they know, I do not only watch, I keep score and am the team photographer. Impressive I know.

Our first trial as told by Mr. Henrie:

The phone rang as I stood on the edge of a BYU parking lot freezing my all-american hide off.  It was Lauren.  When I asked how she was all she could say was, "I just did something very bad."  "Oh no." I thought.  She then went on to explain that she was washing her wedding ring over the sink, when "it just fell out of my hands."  In spite of the fact that I was, for all intensive purposes, a human popsicle my mind began to race.  I knew that there was still a chance because the plumbing under the sink had a kink in it.  I also remembered an episode from Monk that I watched while Lauren was sick on our honeymoon.  In this episode, the villain tries to fish a gun out of a chimney.  Much to Monk's chagrin, it worked.  So I resolved to "fish" for Lauren's wedding ring (if you look in the picture I am holding up a paper clip tied to a fishing line). 

When I got home I put together my "fishing" gear and went to work.  All I caught was hair.  So I went to plan B and called maintenance.  They arrived shortly and removed the kink.  Lauren and I both stood just outside the bathroom door, and were both very relieved when we heard a "clink" in the bottom of the maintenance man's bucket. 

Morals of the story: Monk is completely fictitious, and don't wash your ring over the sink while the plug is out.

Lauren's Moral: Don't let your husband go fishing in the bathroom sink.  

 

Fishing:

Last Saturday was a nice day so after studying, Brandon and I decided to go up Provo Canyon and go fishing. We had a good time even though the only thing we caught was a stick. After our failed attempt to catch a fish, we roasted hot dogs. They were gross. But, we still had a good time. 

Here are a few other pictures of fun things we have done:

I chopped of my hair. Libby and I are now twins.

These past three months we have enjoyed creating so many fun memories together and also with our families. We are looking forward to many more months together and can't wait to see how our future unfolds.
