So, Dustin and I took our first married road trip this past weekend to Lehi, Utah to see Dustin's sister (my sister-in-law) Jenny and her husband Phil and her 2 adorable kids, Carley and Bodie!
We have been meaning to take a trip since our honeymoon because the both of us love to travel and we needed a bit of a break from the mundane school and work stuff. So we opened a trip account and put a little money aside to be able to go to Utah!
We left after work on Friday, and missed the junction (haha) but still made it in decent good time to Lehi. By the time we got there, we talked to Jenny and Phil for a few minutes and then went to bed! In the mor
ning we had yummy breakfast burritos and then headed to IKEA since Dustin and I had never been there and I was told by someone here in Boise that I 'needed' to go. It was definitely unlike any store I've seen! We bought a few things, including some cute little ice trays and a new shower curtain. We've decided when we get our new house we need to go back to IKEA because it was fun and there were a lot of good deals!
We don't know when we'll get a new house, ofcourse, but probably soon after mom and dad Wright get home from their mission. That'll be fun and I'm already keeping my eyes pealed for our 'future home'.
After IKEA we went to Thanksgiving Point and had lunch. I had a portobella sandwich and a fruit tartlet, mmm. Then we went home and chilled for a while. We went to WalMart to buy Carley an Easter dress which was fun and then out to dinner at this Hawaiin grill place!
On Sunday we went to church and then headed home! Oh, I forgot to mention Jenny cut and colored my hair for me :-) It's cute and I really like it.
Our drive home was really really enjoyable. We both talked a lot about how our marriage has really come together. I was having a few sleeping problems before but since they've been cleared up, things have really come together. Our relationship is closer and stronger than ever. We truly are best friends as well as husband and wife, which is wonderful.
On another quick note, I have been asked by some the inevitable question a mormon newlywed couple seems to get, "When are you guys having kids?" Well, I thought I'd just answer that for fun! The short answer is, not for 2 years. Dustin and I ofcourse want kids very much but beyond that we want to be ready for them. One of my goals is to get in better shape before I start having children, because I know it'll be a lot harder after that! Dustin would also like to get in better shape. And since we are going to be living at mom and dad Wright's home to take care of it, we'd like to wait for babies until we have our own home and can 'set up house' a bit more and prepare for baby. Plus we just got married; we would like to have a bit more time to ourselves before we become parents. This is not to say that I haven't been baby hungry. Just ask my employees! I am always reading some kind of pregnancy literature! But it helps me wait and also get educated which I like to do before I make any big step!
So that's our lives right now! We are happier than ever and love being married! Now if we could only keep the house clean...:-)

It's kinda fun to hear the touristy side of Utah Valley. I've never thought to eat at Thanksgiving Point, nor have I been to IKEA...Guess I need to explore a bit more!
