Picnic and Snow?

Last Saturday Zach and I had a picnic in the park because it was 73* outside. There was a slight breeze which made it perfect weather to wear shorts and t-shirts. It was so nice to be outside for most of the day. I was starting to like the idea that winter was over.



Do you see the green grass?!

Well, this is what it looks like today!

Zach thinks I am a total nerd for being so excited for snow! It's so crazy to think that last week we were having a picnic in shorts and t-shirts and now it's winter again! The best part is Zach's school closed early and since we didn't have a Doctor in our office today we left early also. :)

Anniversary #3

Zach and I celebrated our third anniversary on the 19th of February. After we were done with work and school for the day we went to dinner at P.F. Changs. YUM! That weekend we went to Nashville (about 3 hours away) and we had a blast! As soon as we got there we met up with our friends, Ben and Natalie Love, who were in our ward back in Rexburg but now live in Nashville. We spent the whole day with them as they showed us all the sights!

Can you see us? :)

It was so nice to spend time with Ben and Natalie, it almost felt like we were home since we know them from Idaho :) It was fun to talk with them about all the differences of the South! Thanks Ben and Natalie! We had a blast!

Pizza & Root Beer

Our Valentine's Day always consists of pizza and root beer. It's kind of a weird tradition but we've done it ever since we were together. We were married just 5 days after Valentine's Day so our first Valentine's Day together was when we were engaged and we only got to spend an hour with each other because of our schedules. So, during our lunch break we grabbed a hot and ready and root beer and took it to our soon to be apartment. We've kept the tradition alive ever since. Except this year we upgraded to Pizza Hut. :) I love it. The rest of the night was spent watching Becoming Jane and playing Mario Galaxy on the Wii (my present to Zach).


He was so anxious to eat!


Zach surprised me with tulips the day before Valentine's Day :)

All about Zachary


I stole this from Tiffany :)

What is his name? Zachary McLean

How long have you been married? 3 years in a week :)

How long did you date? We met and didn't start dating until 6 months later. We ended up dating for 3 months and were engaged for 3 months.

How old is he? 25

How old are you? 22

Who eats more sweets? Definitely me. He does like real sugary candy and I like chocolate.

Who said I love you first? He did...and then I drilled him with lots of questions and finally said it back after awhile!

Who is taller? He is...even though I thought we were the same height the first month we were dating.

Who can sing better? I think we are equal in this category. Neither of us have amazing voices but we can both carry a tune.

Who is smarter? Definitely Zach...that's why he's the one in optometry school!

Who does the laundry? Me. He offers to do it but whenever he does it he gets confused about which shirts of mine he isn't supposed to dry and so they all end up drying on towels!

Who does the dishes? We both do, I like to wash them but hate drying them so he usually dries them for me!

Who pays the bills? Zach

Who sleeps on the right side of the bed? He does

Who mows the lawn? Umm...if we had a lawn he would mow it. I've never mowed a lawn in my life!

Besides you, who is his best friend? Guy, Tex, Bryson, T, Blake, Brian...even though he doesn't talk to them weekly like I talk to my best friends!

Who cooks dinner? Me, he helps out every now and then.

Who drives? Both of us

Who is more stubborn? I would say Zach is way more stubborn than me. Before we were married his mom asked my mom if I knew how stubborn he was...I learned fast. If you asked him though, he would say that I am stubborn but only because he has rubbed off on me!

Who kissed who first? He kissed me on my 19th birthday...only a week after we had gone on our first date. He tries to tell me that he wanted to wait longer but I don't believe him.

Who asked who out first? He asked me out finally after taking 6 months to get the courage to do so! :)

What was your first date? We went to the driving range in Rexburg, went to the movies and saw The Village and laughed through the entire movie. Afterwards we went to Coldstone and then we walked around the Idaho Falls temple grounds because he was showing me what he did at work (he worked on the temple grounds crew).

Who proposed? Zach...and I was so surprised!

Who has more friends? Equal again...I definitely keep in better touch though.

Who is more sensitive? Me by far. His dad keeps telling me that he will get more sensitive with age, I hope so!

Who has more siblings? Zach has 4 and I have 1...not too hard to beat!

Who wears the pants? hmm...both of us.
