Family


Whole family together


I am a little behind on the blog challenge, but I am going to try to make up for it.

My family:

My Parents: Mike and Tiffany Flathers

Brother: Drew

I LOVE my family. They have loved, encouraged, and have been a great example to me. I wouldn't be the person I am today without them.

I think this is such a cute picture of my parents!


I recently found this picture of Drew and I in Hawaii. Look how little he is!

This was last christmas in Phoenix. I had always wanted to see a suns game in PHX. Just to spite me, drew wore his celtics jersey that night, and cheered on the celtics the whole time. (SUNS WON) :)


It has been a lot of fun getting to know and love Jaydens family. They are a blast to be around!
I love the way that Jaydens parents raised him.

Our blog doesn't have some creative name, its just us, Chloe and Jayden. It is a blog about us and what is going on in our lives. Kind of boring, but it makes me happy :)

Day 1: About me!

I grew up in the small town of  Alpine, Utah and graduated from Lone Peak High school. After high school I decided to attend the University of Utah. This was the best decision I have made. I met a lot of great friends, was involved with a great LDS sorority and later became the president, and best of all met my husband: Jayden Garfield. We were married this last summer in the Draper, Utah temple. We both attend the U, I am studying Photography/Digital Imaging and Jayden is working on his Bachelors/Masters in Biomedical Engineering. We are loving our busy life!

Fifteen interesting facts about me:

1. I have been to over 20 countries, and I LOVE traveling
2. I LOVE chocolate. Jayden and I both have a chocolate fix everyday
3. When I was 12 I wanted to be an astronaut, my parents even took me to the Kennedy Space Center
4. I don't like fried foods
5. I really like the x files, I am kind of a nerd at heart
6. I want a big family, with at least 5 kids
7. I am a huge dog person. I ask Jayden for a puppy almost everyday
8. I love taking baths, at least one a day
9. I hated highschool
10. I love anything vintage, last year I bought myself a typewriter just for the heck of it
11. I love tropical places, Im not a big fan of the snow. I often dream about living by the beach.
12. I play the flute
13. I would love to live in a different country for a year or so
14. I love photobooths, Jayden proposed in a vintage photobooth and we have taken so many photostrips!
15. I saved the best for last, I am madly in love with my husband Jayden Ryan! He has changed my life and we have so many fun adventures together!
Here is a recent picture of me. I love my big fluffy coat during the winter :)

Proud to Be a Ute!

TCU game, very upset by our loss

Being silly during the game

How happy we were that BYU lost!

After the amazing field goal block

Everyone rushing the field

We won!
This football season Jayden and I were in the MUSS ( the mighty utah student section), and we had the opportunity to go to every game. Some games were better than others, for example, the TCU game was a huge disappointment, but the BYU game was so awesome! Sweet Jayden put up with my complaining about the cold and watching the game in the pouring rain. Even though for some games I would have rather watched them on tv, Jayden gets so excited and it is a fun date night.

Bubble Bath

So who can blame me if I take a bath everyday? The weather is getting colder and I love taking a hot bubble bath and reading. Today I finished the Great Gatsby again. Taking a bath is such a lovely way to relax and not worry or stress. This morning was a great start to Thanksgiving Break!
