August

In August, we got this nifty new device called Chromecast. Tyson being really into whats new in that whole world was super excited and he bought one the day they were released. I'm not going to lie, at first I didn't really get why we needed it, why we couldn't just continue to watch youtube and Netflix off our blu ray player... but then we got it and suddenly I understood. The chromecast (which you control from your tablet, phone... or I think laptop) plays all the videos you could want to watch at a WAY higher quality. It is also rad because you can control it from any device like that so it makes it super handy if you have multiple people wanting to show off their videos, each person can find it themselves and display it on the big screen.

I also got a new phone. My old phone was pretty much useless, it wasn't that old it honestly just kind of sucked, so we got me a Samsung Galaxy s3... and I am SO pleased. I couldn't be happier with my phone. YAY for having a working phone!!!

Lastly. Tyson cut off his beautiful long hair in order to donate to locks of love. I am so proud of him! I think that locks of love is an awesome organization and I think it is awesome that he did it. I am still, even more than a week later not quite used to his short hair, but it grows fast and I am sure in time I will be more used to it. All for a good cause!!! I love him!!!


July

July always starts off with a bang, literally, FIREWORKS! Independence Day has always been fun for me because I love fireworks so much! For the last several years I've given up on going and finding big shows and instead I've gone with putting on my own shows... okay so I have never actually lite a firework, because it freaks me out, but I watch the ones that Tyson does. I did however have a HUGE sparkler this year that was pretty rad!
 


Adriann and Dustin came down later in July, for a MAGIC THE GATHERING weekend. Haha, the 2014 Core set came out that weekend, and so we obviously had to get together and try out our cards from the new core set. We had so much fun building decks and playing games. It was such a fun time!


June

June was an awesome and busy month!

Tyson and I started off our month in beautiful Island Park and a beautiful cabin to celebrate our 3rd wedding anniversary. It is super crazy to me that we have been married for three years, time is weird that way, so slow and yet incredibly fast at the same time.
We had as many fires in the fireplace as we had firewood for. I've always loved fires, I think they are beautiful! We talked for hours, enjoying the amount of time we had together. We played Magic the Gathering, which for some may seem odd but for Tyson and I it is special and is played during all special occasions. We made all our favorite meals, cooking together and enjoying steaks, and gnocchis I love my husband so much and I am so glad to have spent 3 years married to him, and I know that the next years will be even better.

Then, it was time for another wedding, we drove to Utah this time to celebrate Adriann and Dustin's marriage.




Then, at the end of the month, it was time for Vans Warped Tour. This was the third time I'd been to Warped Tour and it is something that is extremely special to me. The first time I went Tyson and I were dating and it was the most perfect day ever, it was the day that I 100% decided that I was going to marry Tyson, after that day I knew that every epic day I ever again experienced needed to be with him. 
So, this year we went and as always it was an amazing day. We saw some great bands including: Allstar Weekend, Motion City Soundtrack, Forever the Sickest Kids, Ice Nine Kills, Black Veil Brides, Tonight Alive, I See Stars, Bring Me The Horizon, and Never Shout Never. It was SO exhausting but super fun and super worth it! 




May

The first thing I will mention quickly about May is that it is bike to work month. I personally have never participated, my work is pretty much all uphill and I am just not tough enough to do it. However, my wonderful husband bikes almost all year long and he LOVES bike to work month. It is a time he can encourage others to get out and join him in what he loves. He saves so much money for us by biking and I am so appreciative to him that he has something that he loves and is efficient for our family.

Next, is that my girl Charley Brooke (http://mcquote.blogspot.com/ you can see her blog here) got married.

I've known Charley for almost 20 years now, she is practically my little sister and it was crazy for me to watch her get married. I love her so much and it is so hard to trust anyone with her heart, but she is a big girl and crazy in love so it was time for her and her boy Ryan to tie the knot.

Congrats CHARLEY AND RYAN!!!




Those are some pictures of them right after the wedding, Tyson and I had the pleasure of being their ride back to town and they were so cute that I had to take some pictures... so here they are some of the unseen photos taken by me mere hours after they were wed.   Isn't her smile gorgeous???





Summer Time

Summer, time for romance, time outside, lemonade, and for me apparently not blogging. I am super incredibly behind, but I am going to catch up, at least a little on the important stuff. So... coming at you, one blog for each month of this summer. Hope you enjoy! -Brie
