Call Me Maybe?

September 14, 2012

Friday started out with Mike and Brad's indoor soccer game. Unfortunately, the game was so early (5:10) in the evening that half of their players couldn't come because of work! They played half the game with zero substitutes, until Mike was able to get there.

Luckily for Mike and Brad, they have a supportive family and I was joined in the stands by Allyson, (Mom) Ed, (Dad) and Sara (Sister!)

Brad's pretty much the coach. He plays all over the place, and
we learned Friday he is an amazing goalie!

The best part about indoor soccer is that they can play off walls!
Mike got pretty good at using the wall!

That night, Mike's family came up to our apartment in Salt Lake and played Apples to Apples with us! It was so fun! I am so blessed to be a part of his supportive and loving family!

Saturday was spent in the Riding basement with Derek Jones and Brad. For work, Brad needed to make a recording of "Call Me Maybe" but the lyrics were changed to fit their work situation. 

They are so musically talented! 

They put the song together all from scratch! 

First they set the beat with Brad on drums!

Good thing Derek knew how to work all the equipment!
It definitely looked confusing!

Then, Mike did the bass!

They added the acoustic guitar and the electric.

That night was also Olivia Maybe's (soon to be Parmley) Bridal Shower! 

She is so beautiful! It was so fun to get together with these girls!

For one of the games, Rian and Heather asked Jacob a lot of questions and Livi had to answer them. If she got them wrong, she had to eat bubble gum. If she got them right, however, WE had to eat bubble gum!

Unfortunately, the gum was super hard! 

Livi definitely had the most gum!

But we were not far behind!

Today was our 1 month mark! Normally, I'm not huge on marking the length of a relationship, but I feel like being married 1 month is something to celebrate! Anyway, Mike bought me flowers a couple of days before! 

Basically I'm obsessed with them!

(It was also National Redhead Day! He's the best!) :)

After church, we headed to Orem to celebrate Christian's (my brother) Birthday! 

Christian has been married to Michelle for 2 years now and they just had their first child! 

His name is Benjamin Christian Wagner and seeing as he's our first human nephew, we are all in love with him. Plus, HE IS SO ADORABLE! 

It seems most of our Sunday dinners are spent fighting over who gets to hold him!

Usually Grandma and Grandpa win!

We're also working on replacing the stereo in our car! 

Lucky for us, Bryan is basically a professional at car stereos! 

He spent a half hour helping us/teaching Mike how to do it!

Our night ended back in the Riding's basement working on "Call Me Maybe." The final product sounds way rad, but I don't think any of us 

will be listening to Carly Rae Jepsen anytime soon!

It was definitely an eventful weekend but we were so glad we could spend it with people we love!
