Bryan's Birthday Weekend!

I can't even tell you how excited I've been about Bryan's birthday! I have been waiting for it to come for weeks! I had the perfect plan in mind.. and I was actually able to pull it off! Yay!

Thursday night after the game, Bryan took Kaden and I home. He had no idea that I had been plotting with my mom all day to get ready to give him his birthday gifts. He needed to know what was happening a little before hand in order to pull it all off! When we got to my house I told him he better brace himself because we sure do love a birthday!


I raced around to do some last minute things and then the surprising began! I bought tickets for us to go see Linkin Park! Party! Along with those I thought he needed some of the fun pictures that we've been taking. So thanks so my amazing mom, they were all framed and ready to gift! My parents got him epic work gloves (gotta love orange camo!), a Green Bay shirt and Champion hat, and a Linkin Park shirt for the concert! Kaden gave him a Perry the Platypus shirt with another picture of the three of us. Needless to say, we were having quite the party!


Moving onto the actual Birthday... :)


I have to say that I take the birthday thing very seriously! I love, love, love my birthday and I love it even more to celebrate the birthday's of people I love! So Bryan had a day full with us! I made him German Pancake for breakfast and we spent the morning into afternoon playing Mario Kart! It was a blast!
This is the German Pancake all ready to eat! So yummy!





Kaden was pretty excited about the breakfast!





Then it was time to get ready for some more fun! Because of the looming storm, I decided it would be a good idea to take the train down to SLC. I didn't want to worry about driving and Bryan couldn't know all of the surprises! We had a great time chatting and laughing as we made our way down!


Once we were in the city, we headed to the Old Spaghetti Factory to eat. We both just happen to love it, so it was a must! After a yummy dinner, it was concert time! I must admit, I was more excited that Bryan was so excited about going. But as soon as the show got started, I realized just how many songs I knew! We ended up having a seriously amazing night!
Here are some pictures of the show! Linkin Park was beyond amazing! It was one of the best shows I've been to and I had the best company ever!

After the concert, we hurried right along to catch the train home. It was such a pleasant night in the city that we were sure the storm warning had been wrong! How lucky were we?! We strolled back to the train and had a fascinating time on the way home. Around the Layton area, I noticed that it had started snowing. Well... by the time we were back in Roy, it was a full blown blizzard!

I tried to be all cute and write Happy Birthday in the snow.... It didn't work out so well!

We had a great night and made lots of wonderful memories! I'm so glad we were able to go and have a super fun night out!

Mr. Kaden

Being a single mom, I have thought about the affects that dating would have on my Kaden. He is a kid who gets attached to the people he's around and he grows to love them very quickly. In previous relationships, I have been very concerned about how Kaden would be treated and accepted by the family of the guy I'm dating. It's something that weighed heavily on my mind when I started dating Bryan. I never really know how people will feel about Kaden and it was a concern for me.






However, the first time I met Harry & Trish, all of those concerns went away. I have never felt so great about Kaden getting to know and build relationships with family members of the guy I'm dating. They have welcomed us with open arms into their home and I couldn't be more grateful! I am truely blessed to have met them and I look forward to many more game nights and hockey games with their family!










I snapped this picture of them tonight as we watched the Hockey game. Kaden could've sat anywhere, but he wanted to squish right in with Harry and Trish! I'm so very glad they don't mind a 4 year old between them :)

Our Goal...

Bryan comes up with all sorts of GREAT ideas! This is a regular occurance in our relationship and I (Megan) happen to love it! I have been able to learn so much based off of these great ideas!


The most current idea that we are working on just happens to be a long term GOAL. Bryan sent me a text asking how I would feel about running the Disney Half Marathon. Half Marathon? That is 13.1 miles of running fun! Dang. I had my doubts that I could pull this one off. I mean really... That is a seriously long time to be running! But after about 2 seconds those doubts were gone. Bryan reassured me that we would be training TOGETHER and that we could push each other to finish our goal.


It was amazing to me that he could pull such CONFIDENCE out of me in such a short time! I admit, I have thrown the concept of being a runner out there many times in my life, but this time it's DIFFERENT. There is a whole new aspect that is coming into play. I have someone who is going to stick by me through this goal no matter what might happen.


I am so glad that we are taking on this challenge not only together, but with members of both of our FAMILIES. I think the entire training process will force us to rely on people in a different way. As I gear up to head out for my first run (out of many), I am feeling confident and EXCITED about our goal!


September 2012 will be here before we know it! Bring it ON!

Who We Are...

He's Bryan, She's Megan. The Little one is Kaden :)


After months of being friends, we went out. All 3 of us! December 28th, marked a fantastic day for everyone! A little Tangled and some Despicable Me is a fantastic way to start a relationship!


From there we have discovered everything that we have in common and the things that we don't. But through it all, we have learned to Love each other and look past everything that makes us different! (Megan even cheered for the Pack as they won the Super Bowl! Big step for her)


From Hockey, to The Bachelor, we seem to have it all! We don't argue and we spend the majority of our lives together. This blog is our way of keeping track of our memories. They are important to all 3 of us and we want to share them! You'll hear from each of us throughout this blogging journey. Our hope is to continually capture the time we spend together!
