Sugar Cookies


Yummy, Yummy! We got Jonathan's mom's sugar cookie recipe and made a great amount of cookies to share. So delicious.



We are apparently extremely tough. We're just "keepin it real!" We call ourselves the "Sugars"

Cookie cutters are a mean weapon so watch out!

Oh, and this is our cute little Christmas corner

I Am Thankful....

Thanksgiving is past but I feel the need to express the things that I am thankful for this year.

I am Thankful for:
My Husband. He is VERY patient with me and loves me no matter what mood I'm in. He is always working hard to make my life better and doing his best as a provider to give me security in life.
My Family. I have an amazing family on both sides. I don't know how anyone can get so lucky, but I did.
My Savior. I can't express the LOVE I feel from my Savior. I never feel alone and know that I will always have someone on my side.
The Gospel. I know without a doubt who I am and where I came from.
My Job. I feel blessed in times like now to have a job that I love.
A Free Country. I am so grateful for men and women who risk their lives everyday to serve our country and keep us free from harm.
A warm Bed. 'nough said :)
Good food to eat. I LoVe good food!
Laughter. If I wasn't able to laugh everyday it would truly be a tragedy.
Good Health. I have no health complaints... That's a great feeling.

I know I could keep going, but I just want you to get an idea of how truly blessed I am!

Thanksgiving in Michigan

This year we decided last minute to travel to Michigan for Thanksgiving. Jonathan's parents had no idea we were coming and were totally surprised when we walked in the door. The looks on both of their faces were priceless. It was a wonderful weekend and we are both very happy we went. It's always good to see family!


This was at the lake near my in-laws home and I couldn't leave without getting some amazing photos there. (Check out some more at my photo site laurasnow.blogspot.com)


Watching the football game before the food was ready.


My father in-law and his sister Linda after the dinner was all eaten.



The adults digesting after a fantastic meal. We definitely lived up to the rule of eating til your pants pop.


My man getting in a nap after dinner.

Niece

This is our niece. She was in Michigan this week with us for Thanksgiving and I had a blast taking pictures of her. She was so much fun and with an adorable face like that it was easy to get a ton of great pictures.





She and I became good buddies. So has so much personality and spunk.

Road Trip!


Friday night and nothing to do... Let's Drive to Wendover! Jonathan came up with a brilliant Friday night date and it was much needed. This is us driving 80 MPH in the middle of nowhere at about 8:00 P.M. I love being married.





For such a nasty place, Wendover has some great rooms at a very decent price. We were excited to open our door and not find a "hair" in the sheets or dead bugs all over. (Long Story)



I love my husband and his spontaneous nature. It keeps my life fun.

Metallica Concert

How appropriate that my first post on this blog would be about something like this. Enough of the gooshy stuff (I love you dear!). A few pictures of the Metallica concert I attended last night. My friend Mike New had an extra ticket, so he invited me along. My second Metallica concert, and I hope not the last!

Our seats were halfway up the lower bowl, mid stage.

James Hetfield and the new bassist
Kirk Hammett


James Hetfield again. Great concert!! I had forgotten how much I like these guys. My ears are still ringing this morning.

Happy Halloween


My family loves Halloween! We had our annual Halloween party and had a great turnout. Jonathan loves to come up with creative ideas for costumes and this year I think he out did himself.


We dressed up as my younger brother Ross and his girlfriend Mayra. If you knew them you would see how close to the real deal we got. I will have to post a picture of the TRUE Ross and Mayra, they're much better looking than our portrayal of them. They were good sports, so a big thanks goes to them.



We had some of our good friends come and they showed up ready to party. This is Dustin, Jonathan's roommate and good friend from Chiropractic school. He's Chris Crocker from the famous "Leave Britney Alone!" youtube clip, very funny! He's always a good laugh... if there are any single girls reading this, i'll be happy to set you up, he comes highly recommended!



These are our good friends Mike and Estee. We had a blast with them, they beat us out for the most creative costume, but we tied with my 6 year nephew (a gumball machine) for the funniest.

New Furniture... Kinda


Jonathan has been working on a couple new projects. We've been trying to get our furniture to match and so decided to take it into our own hands. Jonathan spent about 3 days stripping, sanding and staining our dresser. He also refinished an old Hope Chest I had. They are now a beautiful black. I'm very proud of my tool man!

Scary Times in the Snow Family

We went to a Haunted House with my brother Ross and his girlfriend Mayra. It was fun, although I can't really remember what anything looked like since I had my head in Jonathan's back the entire time. I can definitely tell you about the creepy voices by my head. (not in it)


Look how thin he's become. I'm trying to feed him, he just likes his mom's cooking better.



Jonathan has spent the last three months growing his hair out and finally got tired of it all. He spent about an hour in the bathroom trimming and having his fun. Oh and yes he got a hold of the camera. The following pictures are his own doing, I was in bed.





This one is especially scary to me! I think he looks like some psychotic man in my bathroom, it gives me the chills... :)


I love the spikes! I double dog dared him to go into work like this but I guess someone's lost his ability to do whatever and get away with it. He was really tempted though. It was a DOUBLE DOG DARE!



Jonathan says this one reminds him of the Walton football players as a kid. I guess they all looked cool to an 8-year old.

Happy Birthday to ME!


Yesterday was my 24th birthday and it was the most wonderful one yet. I must say that being married to the most wonderful man makes everything a thousand times better! Jonathan is truly the best person in the world to make a special holiday feel that much more special. I can't thank him enough for making me feel like a queen. I just feel bad for him because I am so not creative like he is... He'll just have to settle for my pathetic attempts at awesomeness.
Thanks to everyone and their well wishes and love. I love you all!

I woke up at 7:00 in the morning and looked over to where my husband should've been sleeping next to me and he was MIA. I thought maybe he's in making me breakfast, since he does that all the time anyway. I was wrong! I went out to the living room and it was dark, no Husband. I decided to go back to sleep since he likes to surprise me and I didn't want to ruin whatever it was he was up to. About 5 minutes later, I heard the kitchen door open and in walked my adorable husband to our bedroom and he climbed right into bed. Let me tell you what he did... He woke up at 6 in the morning to go and find me some flowers and brought me my favorite fresh baked bagels, Asiago Cheese. Mmmmmm Isn't he the best?!



You may think the morning outing is enough, but not for my Husband. He came to my work and decorated my car with balloons and lovely sayings. It must have taken him all day because there was no possible way to get into my car.



Luckily I work at an Elementary school and it just so happens that children LOVE balloons, so I went and grabbed a class that was outside and offered them all a free balloon. There were enough balloons for each child to take 3. They had a blast and I didn't have to clean up as many balloons as I would have.


There were many things written on my car, but my favorite had to be the "I look 18 but i'm really 24." Definitely an attention grabber.


Still you may think that surely there could be nothing else, but I tell you there was. Jonathan along with decorating my moms house for a family dinner, cleaning our own gorgeous apartment, and showering me with gifts, also had time to make me a beautiful cake, (from scratch) with strawberry and raspberry filling.

Aren't we an adorable couple? I look older don't I?


Don't worry I made a wish and I'm pretty sure it will come true in 8 1/2 months and counting.... I'm kidding, I'm not pregnant!
