we love midway


What originally was a hassle slash disaster turned into a gigantic blessing for us. The apartment that we were planning on in Salt Lake was ripped out of our hands a week before our marriage by the classic grandma-down-the-street-who-lives-in-the-guy's-ward-so-he-can't-say-no-to-her-grandson-even-though-all-our-stuff-is-already-packed situation. A few weeks later, the apartment flooded (which we think is a punishment from on high (JOKE)). Anywho, we ended up moving into my parents condo for a temporary extended honeymoon and we can't get enough of it. How could you not love this:

Let's be honest, my hair looks great in this photo, but seriously, people, look at those luscious red ruby leaves of autumn!!! Could we live in a more beautiful place? NO. We are so grateful for this opportunity. Thayne has already decided that we are going to live here the rest of our lives, call in elk, flyfish, serve in the AWESOMELY awesome ward, and go on endless jeep rides with our 8 children.

It's also awesome because it cuts my cougar commute to a mere 30 minutes and lets Thayne have an enjoyable 45 minute drive down Parley's. (for a funny link, go to www.byurejects.com--not going to lie, my tax research class had a really good time discovering that one).

I'm going to tell you about what we do after we make those awesome commutes, even though the only people reading this blog (aka our mothers) already know everything!

Thayne is basically Superman. We wake up at 5:55am every day and Thayne is out the door at 6:30 to enjoy a good 7 hours of school and he's off to his real passion....WORK! He is basically a business tycoon:
This is Thayne on his way to work...he loves it. (disclaimer: Thayne is much better looking AND he and his brother own outfityours.com - only the coolest place to buy all of your ipod, ipad, mac needs!)

Then he drives to Midway to be with his REAL passion...fly fishing!!

I basically married the most awesome person on earth.
Then, he comes home to be with his really REAL passion. His wife!

While Thayne is out conquering the world, I drive to BYU every day to become this:

we dated and now we're married

ahhh...eternal marriage
driving home the right way from lake powell

Just a little about us. We are thayne and emily davis. We met in junior high, flirted all through high school, played tennis, served missions (him argentina, me chile), dated, and got married. We both come from 100% incredibly hilarious and wonderful families whom we love very much. He's at the U and I'm at BYU. I cheer for the U and he cheers for BYU, so I guess you could say we are the perfect combination...we do what we can.
Thayne and his brother own and run outfityours.com which is the most awesome place to buy apple accessories on earth! I am an accounting nerd at BYU...so there again, perfect combo of savvy, creative business man and boring bookkeeping geek.
I love Thayne more than anything else on earth and we're grateful for our new little life we started together on august 22, 2011. Hopefully we'll post to this blog more than once a year and hopefully you'll enjoy the little updates on our life. love you all!
