Strengthening our Marriage

I've certainly become lazy the last year or two with blogging. I ditched social media for a good 4 months and strived to become much closer with Trevor and God. Once we hit 5 years in February, I mentally wrote down 5 things that have strengthened our marriage and allowed us to become closer th…

Number 4

Trevor and I celebrated our 4th anniversary on the 11th of February. We ran away to Arizona to spend some much needed time with our family and spend time together. On our anniversary, we got a couples massage, ate some delicious food, went swimming, and just relaxed. It was a perfect day. 
If any …

An open letter to you before you get married

I got married at the ripe age of 19. That is young. That is really young. The divorce rate on those who marry at 19 is fairly high! Luckily for us, Mr. Schroeder and I have chosen to beat the odds. It's extremely common to get married young here in Utah, especially among those who are members …

Merry Christmas!

The day after Thanksgiving, I was blaring the Michael Buble Christmas album. Mr. Schroeder walked in the door, gave me a big fat hug and said, "I'm so happy you're in the holiday spirit, because I'm not!" I got most my Christmas shopping done in November because I wanted to r…

A needed little getaway

A couple of my friends got sealed in the St. George temple a few weeks back. Mr. Schroeder and I had the opportunity to drive down and attend it. This temple might be in my top 5. It is so gorgeous! Having a little getaway with my sweetie was just what I needed. We went and drove through Zion Nati…

Reminiscing

Mr. Schroeder and I have been married for about 3 1/2 years. Though it really hasn't been THAT long, I do feel like there are so many moments, memories, and amazing things that have been forgotten. This past weekend, Mr. Schroeder and I went up to Logan for a family reunion. We spent a little …

Diamond Fork

I posted something on social media a little while back about convincing Mr. Schroeder to love Utah. He always stated that he would never marry a Utah girl, let alone live in Utah, yet here we are. I've been trying to scope out the prettiest places, hikes, and secret attractions to convince him…

Well this sucks

You know how if you get married in college, you have to realize that you're probably never going to see your spouse? Well...Mr. Schroeder and I didn't experience that right at first. I took a 2-year break from school (stupid? No, I actually don't regret it at all), moved to Virginia Be…

My House

It has almost been an entire year of being homeowners. Aaaand we haven't got much done! Ha! Everything is ridiculously expensive. I was a bit blown away once I found out how much our yard was going to cost. We're getting there, we're getting there. 
A person's first home is so impo…

I love Eagle Mountain

If you're familiar with Utah, specifically Utah County, you'll hear all about Eagle Mountain. Trevor and I bought a house almost a year ago and have beautiful mountains to hike all around us. It's so funny because every time I tell someone we live in Eagle Mountain, they exclaim, "…

Catching Up

It feels like centuries since I have last blogged. I took a break for a variety of reasons. First being that I was just too busy. I was blown away with the amount of time people have with their lives that they can blog. Then I realized that it was a bit of a priority thing. I'm currently worki…

A Year in Review

This year started off, well, extremely rocky. And, it continued. This was a very hard year. I feel like most people are ending the new year with a 'bang' with all of the amazing things they have accomplished. Though I've accomplished some awesome things, and I even had the opportunity …
