Memorial Day Weekend

So I'm behind in my posts but I have been way busy with things! BUT our Memorial Day weekend was such a blast! Spencer, my younger brother came down for the weekend from BYU-I and stayed with us. It was so great to have him come! He gets to put his mission papers in for a LDS mission soon so I have to soak up as much time as I possibly can since he will be gone for two years! 

Since Spencer came down from school we wanted to do something extra fun & something that he would enjoy doing so Justin thought squirrel hunting was the ticket. Spencer has never been squirrel hunting but he does like to shoot and hunt deer so why not try this.  Not only was he hooked but as was I! I would have never thought that I would but it was a lot of fun! I originally just planned on going along and watching with the other gals and just catch up on some reading and soak up some much needed sun but I ended up shooting too. I shot my first squirrel 110 yards away.  I didn't know who was more proud of me-- my husband or my brother.. haha what can I say... my Daddy taught me how to shoot well :D

my first squirrel :D

So we had riot! & Spencer can't wait until Fourth of July weekend to go again. 

This might be the new "Hyer family tradition".

As much fun as we had that Saturday, I am mindful of the sacrifices made for freedom & those men and women who died  in our nation's service.  My heart goes out to all the countless families who gave a son or daughter to that cause. I think about all the countless people who are now free because of the many sacrifices that American soldiers have made throughout the years. I am grateful every day for the opportunities our great nation has to offer and appreciate all those who so bravely serve each and every day. THANK YOU for all your service :D 

here come summer nights :D

We had our friends Rachel and Jason come over a few Fridays ago for date night. We went to Firehouse-- (we love the pasta there it's delicious!) then we had Rach and Jas come over for a bonfire after to make smores :D Justin and I LOVE hanging out with them! They are so fun! We are going to miss them when they move to Ohio in July for dental school!

it's a love story.. ♫♪♫

 Our wedding day couldn't have been more perfect! We had a few minor last minute glitches BUT one thing I have learned and am still trying to learn is to RELAX, BREATHE because it ALWAYS works out. haha but seriously our day was beautiful, Justin looked so handsome and he thought I looked beautiful as always he says haha but we were super lucky that even the weather decided to play nice! We were lucky because for Utah it can be touch and go in April! So here are some of our pictures from our day :D

Blogging

I swore I would never be a blogger because I felt like it would be one more thing to keep up on. I just always felt like facebook and my own personal journal keeping was enough-- considering I hardly have time for those, However, since Justin and I have been married my days consist of dropping resumes off to different offices around Logan, watching reruns of Criminal Minds and laundry-- (which I have found adds up quick just with two people!!) So needless to say my days have been kinda boring, so I thought "hey why not.." So here it is-- our blog. I,  Jessica and maybe sometimes Justin will try and update regularly :D
