8 Months

Landon and I have been married now for 8 months! 8 MONTHS!!! Its been the best 8 months of my life. I can't speak for Landon, wait... actually I CAN NOW right? Isn't that how it works? Marriage=speaking for each other? Well if not I will let him know that it has been the best 8 months of his life too :)!

Here is the summary of our life over the past 8 months;

60 credits of school (combined);22 classes:A=17, B=5 and C=0 (Note: 4 of those B's are mine :(. It is really Landon with all the A's)

40 hours of work each week (combined)
; 6 Different Jobs (Note: 4 of those are because of me. Long, dumb, crazy, stupid, finally, story)

40 hours of Rape Crisis Training (Landon); We are both certified Rape Crisis Advocates for the state of Utah

20 hours of BYUSA each week (Becca)

6 attempts to get our truck registered. Still. Not. Registered. (Together)

3 Church callings (Combined) (Note: Landon has two of the callings. Geez you would think he was doing all the work)

1 Amazing trip to Arizona for Christmas (Together)

0 Broken Jaws (Combined)

As you can see, we have been SO busy! But we have loved it. Landon is taking what is equivalent to 24 credits spring term. He also will be working part time. I will be working full time and catching up on all of the things we haven’t had time to do. Don’t worry I have a list of 30 things already. (Mom you have cursed me :)!!!) First one on our list, Write thank you letters from our wedding. :/

Here are some pictures over the last couple of months. Enjoy

I have loved cooking! A couple of months ago I made Honey Glaze Salmon and Alfredo. We liked it

CONFERENCE WEEKEND

Not our best picture! But its the only one that turned out. Plus it was freezing so we didn't want to keep trying. This is us at the draper temple. It is our favorite so far (are you allowed to have favorites?) Just FYI, they don't rent clothes :). We would know. We love going to the temple, we have gone about every week since we've been married. Its the best!

Landon and I went to his mission reunion on April 2nd. Then we headed up to SLC to stay the night. We watched conference in the hotel for the morning session and then we went to the afternoon session. It was amazing. Of course. Landon stayed with my brothers and dad for the priesthood session. They sat really close. After the priesthood session we went to the cheesecake factory. Busy! Hear are some pictures. Naturally, nate did everything he could to not be in the pictures.



Mmmmm Cheesecake! After we ate, we went outside to the car and... We were locked out. My mom accidentally left the keys in the car. Don't worry, skip came to the rescue. Yes, his name is Skip! Perfect right?

We used a bunch of old school stuff to break in (ex: Hangers, Sticks, Flashlight, Arm pump and more.)! Rest assured that lexus' are hard to break into.


BYUSA

I am done with BYUSA. It has been my life for the past 2 1/2 years so I am kind of sad about it. One of the events that I put on was called unsung heroes. Students nominated other students for small, simple, unsung services. We had a great turn out. 100 people, Dinner, Dessert, and a speaker. At the end I handed out a letter to each unsung hero. The letter had what someone said about them. People were touched. Many tears of joy were shed. It was a really really special night.

When I got home from cleaning up, this was on the table with a note that said, "Thanks for being my hero!" I love my Landon!

Here is the team that helped me with this specific event. I love them. I have to say that this experience was probably the greatest leadership experience I have ever had!


Some other things that I did this year. I helped get rent-able laptops on campus, I designed a pin and a saying for all graduates from now until for ever, I help approve hundreds of events on campus, I helped get free water bottles handed out to students, I supervised a photo contest in the wilk, I had meetings and retreats and much more. The biggest thing I did is gained some of my very best friends in the whole wide world

One of the girls that was in the presidency with us wasn't there that day. Her name was Jessica!
She is one of the greatest girls that I have ever met. Here is a picture of her and her husband

Here are some pictures from our final retreat! It was a blast. Each one of these people have changed my life forever!

This was the room that we hung out in. Cami, Elise and I decorated it! So fun! We also went on a hike before we came here.





Leadership has been my passion since I was a little girl. I have been the president of something almost every year since I was in 6th grade. The last two years as the Executive Director for Clubs and the Executive Secretary in the presidency has been close to some of the greatest experiences of my life. My dream is to be a mom, so naturally I know that this is probably the last time I will be a part of something like this. PTA and Church don't count. But it has been a one of my greatest blessings!

SCHOOL

With that said, lets get back to the school life. For the last month Landon and I have basically been on campus until 11 or 12 every day. I've been cramming, he has been studying. I guess that's why I have 4 of the B's. Here are some of his study sessions

I drew the one below on the board for Landon! Cool huh!

Over the last month we have had some a lot of tender mercies. We thank Heavenly Father each night for them!!!

I will mention just a few. Nate bought us dinner one night and surprised us with it. P.F. Changs!!! It was AMAZING!

We has just enough money on our BYU card to take a break from our studies and get some ice cream


With some quarters in my office I was able to find my true love(Sorry Landon!) Crunch wrap supreme! I had two :)


We have had some great FHE's! One consisted of BBQ and a Movie


Lastly, we have had some beautiful weather to study outside!

This is actually the place I told Landon that I loved him. He said when he was little his dad use to squeeze his hands three times which meant "I love you." Well Landon, Jake and I were talking here and I squeezed his hands three times. This was also the place where I talked to my new Mom and Dad! Mama Woolf and Papa Woolf are some of the greatest people you will ever meet. Heavenly Father didn't just bless me with the perfect husband, but the perfect family to marry into! I love them!!! Here are some more pictures of the place



This is me, on top of the world, after my finals were done! See the globe:) hehe!


NATE

For my brothers Nate's brithday we went out to eat. Here is a picture with me, gary and landon. Also, here are the pictures with nate trying to get out of the pictures.


But we still got one. Don't hate us nate:)

He looks good.

WORK

Work has been crazy! I have switched to 4 different jobs since we've been married. They finally figured out where they wanted me and I love it. I also love love the girls that I work with. The other night we had a cake waffle party. We made Cake waffles and watched Princess and the Frog. So fun!!! SO good!!! I loved the movie too!


LACEY

Lacey and Cory are getting married in one week and one day!!!! I am SO excited for them. They are such a great couple and I love them both. Aren't they such a good looking couple. You would think they could share the wealth!!!!


I went to Lacey's bridal shower and it was so fun. She looked gorgeous. I love her SO much! Here are some pictures of the shower!



Welp! Thats all. I know, I know. Longest post known to man. I am just getting use to taking pictures, so I had a lot in the last couple of months. Landon and I LOVE life! As you can see we are so incredibly blessed. We are getting a great education, we have great jobs, we have the best families in the whole wide world and we have the gospel. Life couldn't get better!
