Institute Formal: Fallin for You

So after I got married I never expected to be asked to another formal dance, but Bryce definitely surprised me! Usually when I come home Bryce will come down the stairs and tell me hi. When I came home Tuesday I knew he was home because his scooter was in the parking stall, but I didn't hear him upstairs. When I went upstairs looking for him I still couldn't find him, but I found a surprise on our bed. He had decorated our bed with Swedish Fish, and had a cute saying on a poster. After I noticed our bed he came out of the bathroom laughing, it was definitely a surprise to me. That night we were really busy and we each had to leave and go to a meeting. After my meeting I ran to Smiths and bought a bag of treasures and came up with a way to reply to him. We had to drive separately to our institute class that night and after class I asked if he could come look at the car because it was making weird noises. When he opened the trunk I had my reply sitting there :)

The Asking...

The Answering...

Since I wasn't expecting to go to another formal dance I left all my formal dresses in Logan. Luckily I have an amazing sister-in-law who not only let me borrow one of her dresses, but she also did my hair. It was such a fun night, and Bryce was definitely my best date ever!!!

Crunch Time!

So... Bryce did so well on his Medical School interviews that he got not one, but FOUR acceptances! Great right? Yes, but let the stress begin. Each school requires a $500 nonrefundable deposit by December 15th to hold your seat. Decisions, Decisions, Decisions. We are trying to decide on the best school, which will be the one we will pay.

Happy Halloween

Wow, I am so behind with this blogging thing! Halloween has been over for weeks now and I'm just posting pictures of our new Halloween traditions. We had to do our Halloween activities on Monday, for Family Home Evening, because Bryce had to work on Halloween. We began the night by having a "Spooky Dinner."

Bryce had to do all the ordering for us because I knew what everything was. This is Bryce's first course, Frank 'n' Stein, Swamp Blob, Devil's Staff, and Grave Digger.

My first course was Bat Fangs, Skeleton Goo, Dried Bones, and Dracula's Blood.

Bryce's second course was Mud, Mummy Wrap, Witches' Hair, and a Broomstick. My second course was Frank 'n' Stein, Swamp Blob, Devil's Staff, and Grave Digger.

After ordering our third course, we finally had a full meal which included spaghetti with sauce, breadsticks, salad with ranch and croutons, a drink with gummy worms frozen into ice cubes, and mud cups (chocolate pudding with oreos and gummy worms). It was delicious and so much fun!

After dinner, we began carving our first pumpkins together.

Here's our end results: werewolf, and spiderweb.

As you can see we are not wearing the same clothes as the pictures before this. It actually took us multiple hours on two different days to finish our pumpkins. Well actually Bryce finished his the first night, but mine took two nights!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN

Happy Birthday Mom

For my mom's birthday, Skyler and I decided to surprise her and drive to Logan for the weekend. Bryce was on an interview in Missouri. I left Cedar around 8:30, picked Skyler up in Provo (with balloons) at 11:30, and showed up at the Blue Bird, where mom was having her birthday lunch with grandma. She was so surprised and teared up a little bit!

For mom's birthday, the waitress brought out a huge banana split.

Here is a picture of the banana split five minutes later. It was sooo good!!!
Our surprise was a great success! Happy Birthday to the BEST mom in the whole world. I couldn't have asked for a better role model. I love you so much!

Conference Weekend

Friday, Bryce had his 3rd medical school interview in Pennsylvania. Instead of flying into Vegas he flew into the Salt Lake airport and we were able to watch my sister play in her volleyball tournament all day Saturday.

Skyler was so lucky! He got to be the "flagger." Very technical I know.

My mom was an awesome scorekeeper! Although, she should have given us a few extra points :)

Awesome Save!

Sunday, Bryce and I were able to attend the afternoon session of General Conference. I love being a member of the church of Jesus Christ and having the opportunity to listen to the prophet and apostles testify of the truthfulness of the gospel.

Wake Me Up When September Ends

Wow September has just flown by. Everything's happened so fast, it seems more like a dream than reality. Here's a quick recap:

Bryce has finished his applications and is now going on Medical School interviews. He will be interviewing at schools in Virginia, Pennsylvania, Arizona, Iowa, Missouri, Oklahoma, Florida, and Utah. We'll keep the fingers crossed for UTAH!!!

For the Davis family, Labor Day means LABOR, not day off! Bryce and I spent the weekend bottling beans, freezing corn, canning tomatoes, making tomato sauce and salsa, basically doing anything you can do with tomatoes. We also finished picking everything in my grandma's garden before it froze. After all the hard work, Bryce felt like he deserved a little time off on the trampoline.

With the beginning of our senior years, here are all the books we are expected to read this semester. It's a good thing we are already married, because with all this reading we will not have a social life!

This year Bryce signed up to be an AYSO soccer coach. His team worked hard and improved so much over the season. They ended up tying with the best team in the league. Many parents came up to me after the last game and told me that Bryce was the best coach their children had ever had and that they were going to request him as their coach for next year. Good job Babe!!!

Lake Powell

We went to Lake Powell the beginning of August. Okay, I know that this post is way late, but life has been super crazy and I haven't had the time to update this yet. We took a million pictures (probably not, but it seems like it) and I don't have time to write about each one so I put them into collages to explain what we did at Lake Powell. Our week consisted of water sports, swimming, boat rides, cliff jumping, relaxing and hanging out with family. It was the first time I'd ever been to Lake Powell, and it was so much fun!!!
