Yummy Treats, Homework, and Dancing





Happy March, everyone! We keep forgetting to add to our blog, because we are so busy, but we know there's at least one person (possibly) who is interested in what we've been doing, so here I am. A few weeks ago was our first Valentine's Day together as a married couple, so I was quite excited. Our ward (where we go to church) decided to have a catered dinner and a dance the day before, so we decided to go. They did the seating arrangements by what month people were married in. As we are all busy students, most of the couples were married in december or the summer months.






That first picture is at our apartment. I didn't realize that Austin was taking a picture of me. I'm happier looking in some of the other couple pictures of us, but this is the only one where you can see my V-day gift to Austin-a tie to match my dress, of course!




This was my gift:


Isn't it beautiful? I have a sweet husband.

My favorite part of valentine's Day? THE CUPCAKES!
Think of it: chocolate souffle cupcakes with a white chocolate cream on top. It is absolutely heavenly, particularly fresh out of the oven. We took heart-shaped cookies to the kids in our primary class, but we kept these ourselves.






I'm not going to say how many of them I ate myself. For the recipe, check out http://smittenkitchen.com/











So, basically, we spend most of our time making yummy desserts and studying for classes (I'm in my last semester at BYU, and Austin's studying for the LSAT) so we're busy but we love life. We tend to act like silly little kids in our free time, but we love it. It is so fun spending most of your time with someone that you get along so well with (most of the time). I hope you all are doing great!
