Unfortunately yesterday my time at Utah Valley Pediatrics came to an end. I knew it needed to happen but I didn't know when I would get the courage to do it. Robert and I had been playing what if games all weekend. Basically different scenarios that could happen at work and I told him if one happened I would quit. So yesterday I did. It was emotional leaving all the friends I made there and the awesome doctors I worked for but I needed to stand up for myself and do what I knew I needed to do. I turned in my two weeks requested to use the last of my vacation hours and got all my shifts covered for the next two weeks. Crazy right?
I turned in a few applications yesterday and got called back within an hour for an interview. Today I turned in a few more and I have at least two interviews a day until Tuesday! I'm kinda enjoying not having a job. It is a break from the stress but let's be honest I'll get bored if I don't get a new job asap.
Let's all be excited for the new chapter in my life!!

Kennedy is HOME!!!!
After 18 months of being separated my KDawg finally came home! It is so nice having my little ginger devil back! We went to one of her companions homecoming parties a couple weeks ago and boy oh boy we were not prepared for what happened. It was a full on Luau! No joke, dancing, dead pig, endless amounts of Tongan's and food. It was awesome. We were the only white people there so that was sooo weird.

| Kennedy and I felt super awkward |

| The first time we hung out we went to the Riverwoods it was really fun. Gosh I missed this girl |
Mother's Day
First of all let me tell you, I have the best mom ever. Like no joke. Who wouldn't want Super Woman as their mom. But I did that whole my mom is better than yours last year so this year I'll just tell you what we did for her. Robert and I are incredibly poor (yay newly weds) So we couldn't afford to buy her a gift. Instead we taught Carmen, Lauren, Tea (Lauren's niece) and Danny (Carmen's boytoy) how to make a flower out of balloons. Then Robert made a vase. It was so fun and incredibly loud. We also had an amazing steak dinner thanks to Carmen.
Happy Mother's Day to the best woman I know.
Yogurt Bliss
After many tearful nights of stressing over our budget Robert decided he would take his balloon art to a local Yogurt shop. Now Robert twists there Wednesday nights from 6-8. I love going and watching him make things up. It is so great. Sometimes he just feels the need to be creative and this one of his outlets.

| This little girl wanted a smartphone...Use your imagination with this one. |
 |
| This handsome little boy (Logan, my coworker's son) got a dog and we decided to use him to display Robert's balloon sign |
 |
| This is "Ricky Rouse" |
 |
| This nerd in the making wanted an "Eye of Horace" |
 |
| I think this frog is adorable |
 |
| This is the back of the cell phone |
 |
| Okay so Dad is wearing a dragon hat and holding a cupcake. |
 |
| I totally take the credit for this one because it was my idea. A Rattle Snake. I love it. and him. |
Papi's 90th
My Mom's dad just turned 90. This meant a last minute birthday party for him. And by last minute I mean four days of planning and figuring thing out. It also meant I got to see Robert in action at a party. Robert was soooo good at entertaining the kids and making endless amount of balloons for them. The line never ended (until it did)

Easter
Sometimes it is so nice living so close to my family. Not only my siblings but my parents too! It is also very very VERY nice that Lauren has a house that holds all of us when we want to get together. Downside is she lives in so far away in Payson. For Easter we all went to her house and had a traditional dinner. Ham, mashed potatoes, green beans and rolls. Of course we had rolls. We also had an egg hunt for Mr. Aidan. Unfortunately Brendan and Dahlia's family were with her parents so we didn't get to play with Mr Clay. Here are some pictures from that day. I can't believe how BIG Aidan is. He is going to be a lady killer. Remember when he was just a little chubscout?

| I'm 95% sure he took a bite of the cake after this picture (I taught him well) |

I'm going to get better at this...
Well the past four months of my life have been quite the whirlwind!
I met the most amazing man in the world the week before Christmas.
I started dating him the week after New Years.
We got engaged a month later.
We got married April 1.
So my life has been CRAZY! But I have loved every bit of it.
Robert and I met online. OH BOY! Yeah we met on a hookup app. Not even an online service just a phone app! I was doing a research about online dating and Tinder (the name of the app) and he had downloaded it after getting the thought "hmm maybe I should download Tinder." So he started talking to me, gave me a very awkward compliment and I was smitten. Okay not really, I went out with a few other guys after I met him. We went on our first date on a Sunday and he asked if we could go out again on Saturday. I of course said yes. We hung out Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday AND Saturday. The Tuesday after that we went on separate vacations, him to Canada to meet with his musician and me to Vegas to... well celebrate New Years. After our vacations we were hanging out and he was trying to get me to break up with him but unfortunately I had already decided I was going to marry him. So the next day we are talking again and he coming up with excuses for me to break up with him but I didn't even flinch. I knew we were supposed to get married and eventually he would realize. Later that night he asked me if I would ever want to be Adrienne Enke. Of course I said yes. A few weeks later we were engaged. He proposed in front of the St. George temple. We have the whole thing on film thanks to an older missionary. It was a lovely proposal I think my favorite part was, "so uh Adrienne do you think you want to be my best friend for like ever?" After the proposal everything went crazy! DRAMA DRAMA DRAMA!
But we made it to April 1st somehow and everything went smoothly (as far as I could tell.) I was so blessed to have my best friend Jessica, my cousin Sandra, my new bestie Chelsea and my two sisters as bridesmaids. Robert had his two best friends Kris and Michael as groomsmen. We had a simple ceremony with maybe 50 people (thanks to the 50 that didn't show up so it just looked like no one loved us but whatever now I know who really loves me! ....jokes....) We had delicious breakfast burritos, and even better cake. Layer 1-COTTON CANDY. Layer 2-Chocolate Oreo. Layer 3- Coconut. Layer 4- CHOCOLATE PEANUT BUTTER WITH REECES! It was so yummy. SimplyBlissCatering is who EVERYONE should go through! Best cake ever. The best part was it turned EVERYONE'S teeth blue after they ate our navy blue frosting. (one guest told me she made dark blue poopers for two days after the wedding!)
After our wedding we drove to Park City where we stayed at the Yarrow for a couple nights. It was so wonderful. We had used a groupon but told them we were on our honeymoon so they upgraded us. Then the heater in our upgraded room wasn't working so they upgraded us again! They also sent us some sparkling cider. The next day we went and opened a joint checking account and a joint savings account. It was pretty fun. We went to the outlets after that and walked around and went shopping. That night we went to an AWESOME restaurant. It is called Prime Steak House. Go there. We spent $200 but it was totally worth it. It was delicious. The next day we came home because I had class and work.
Saturday we drove up to Snowbird. We got settled into our room and took off down to Salt Lake. Robert got us tickets to see the Little Mermaid at the Capital Theater. It was the Ballet West II cast but it was still wonderful. We spent the next week up in Snowbird. We went to the pool, ate at the restaurants, wandered around. It was very relaxing. I even got caught up on homework. I had to watch "the business of being born." Yeah never watch that on your honeymoon.
We came back Saturday and resumed our regular lives... Kinda. Tuesday we got a mom and her four puppies who are now 4 weeks old. We are fostering them until they are 5lbs or 3 months (when they can be spayed/neutered) We have two girls and two boys. The girls are Hunter and Lucy. Boys are Indie (Indiana Jones) and LA (Lazy Ass...he sleeps alllll day plus they came from LA to Utah) They are doing soooo well. They love it here and Mom (Elsa) loves being loved on. She is adorable. I know the puppies will be adopted because they have such cute personalities and they themselves are adorable but I worry about mom. She isn't as cute as them. But mom is so sweet and so loving. She needs a home.
