Obsession. I Lived.

SO. Bryce and I have an obsession with this song. It is called I Lived by OneRepublic. We LOVE it so MUCH! I literally listen to at least once every single day. It reminds us of our childhood. It reminds us of lots of different things in our lives. Our childhood. Our parents. Soccer. Rock climbing. Snowboarding. South Africa. Guatemala. Our future family. So many things. Please listen to this song on youtube. You can thank me later :)

I'm a Mormon

I have always loved being a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I love it because I know it is true and it brings me so much happiness and comfort each day of my life. I created a mormon.org profile to share with others what I know to be true. Check it out here!

Hi I'm Beki. I'm a soccer player. I'm a teacher. I'm a wife. I'm a Mormon.

Bryce's Birthday Weekend!

I love my husband. And I love that he was born about 24 years ago so that we could meet, be best friends, fall in love, and get married! I wanted to do something fun for Bryce's birthday this year.... but there was one problem. On the day of his birthday, I had a soccer banquet I had to attend.... (Guess who is going to be the head girls soccer coach next year?!?) so talk about a lame birthday. Then we couldn't celebrate the next day because of parent teacher conferences... So I wanted to do something really fun to make up for the fact that his actual birthday was pretty lame. So we celebrated on the weekend, instead. I reserved a yurt up at Badger Creek for Friday night. It was such a blast! Just the two of us went up since none of our friends could go.... but it was an incredibly fun getaway for just the two of us.

Here is a picture of the Yurt we stayed in! 


We were so excited! 


We roasted hotdogs over the fire in the stove for dinner and had some yummy hot chocolate for dessert.  


Then we watched a movie on the projector before falling asleep for the night. 


We had bagels and hot chocolate for breakfast...


And then we went for a walk outside to check out the view.


On our walk, we made snow angels... 


And we ended up having a snowball fight! 



I love being married to my best friend! 


 We eventually made our way back to Rexburg where we met up with our good friends Cameron and Alyssa for dinner at Costa Vida. 


All in all, we had a ton of fun this weekend. Happy birthday, Bryce! 
I love you!

Happy Halloween 2013!

So... Bryce and I don't normally dress up for Halloween. I never feel like spending money on a costume, and I usually don't feel creative enough to come up with one on my own. But this year we did dress up because they said we HAD to dress up if we wanted to come to the ward Halloween party. So I spent an hour one night googling couple's Halloween costumes. You got the usuals: Mario and Luigi, Batman and Robin, a couple of thieves, prince and princess.... all things I would have to spend money for, and frankly, I didn't want to. Anyway, I finally stumbled onto a nerdy couple costume website.... you would be shocked at the creativity of costumes I found there! I settled on having Bryce and I dress up as Google Maps, since that would only cost the price of two poster boards and a roll of yellow duct tape. This is how it turned out. Pretty awesome, eh? 


Anyway, everywhere we went, and after posting the picture on Facebook, I had, like, a jillion people say, "WOW! That is so CREATIVE!" or "Holy cow! How did you come up with that idea?" It's at times like this that I really wish I was creative, and that I really could have come up with this idea on my own... but nope. I sadly had to tell each one of them that the creativity resided in Google itself, and that I cannot take credit for the idea. It was a great costume! I wish I had thought of it myself so I could bask in the glory that everyone tried to give me! Haha
