Happy Anniversary to Us!

I can't believe that one year ago Andrew and I tied the knot. It has been a blast and I cannot wait for the many adventures we get to share together. I could not have picked a better person to make these memories with. I love you Andrew! Happy anniversary!

Climb On

We have seriously been enjoying our summer. Recently, we've been taking advantage of the beautiful weather and started to get into rock climbing. I am usually scared out of my mind, but it is a ton of fun. Andrew is getting pretty obsessed with the sport. I think he might even dream about it at night. Our friends Alma and Joy introduced us to it a few weeks ago and we've gone almost everyday since then!

Almost there!

Success.

The bed was made for the first time today in about 3 weeks. Yes.....

It's already March?!?

Walking on Utah Lake

Yes, we are still alive. With school and work and everything, we have been SO busy! I don't have a life, so there hasn't been much to blog about. I pretty much live on campus, but Andrew and I do cross paths every now and then. This semester I'm taking family finance, parenting and child guidance, child development, the family and the law, religion in the home, and LDS marriage and family. I really enjoy going to school, but I can't wait for this semester to be over! I'll only have ten more classes left until I can graduate!!! Andrew is loving his classes. He's taking advertising, communications, news writing, book of mormon, and a video editing class. I can't believe the semester is almost over! No complaints though.

But aren't these pictures kind of cool? We decided to go for a drive after church a few weeks ago and we stumbled upon a very frozen Utah Lake. Since we had a camera, we decided to run around and take pictures. I was a little scared to walk off the dock, but luckily the ice supported my weight.

Disney Land Pictures

Here are some pictures from Disney Land that I didn't post in October. I can't wait to go back!

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year everyone! I can't believe its already 2009. So much has happened since our last post. I know I haven't been very good about keeping a current blog, but with my friend Stacy's constant encouragement I think I'll be blogging more often :)

Well, we made it to Utah unscathed, found an apartment, found jobs, registered for classes, bought books, and survived our first few snow storms. We are actually finding that we love it here. We have good friends, Lance and Stacy, that we see pretty much every day. We are also meeting new people and catching up with old friends. The holidays were a little different for us this year. Andrew and I stayed home. We didn't feel completely safe driving in the weather, so we opted to have our first married Christmas alone. Our friends Joy and Alma came over for Christmas eve dinner. I even cooked, which is a huge accomplishment for me! I didn't even burn anything, and our apartment is still standing! We had fun eating, playing games, and watching almost a full season of Arrested Development. Christmas morning we woke up and got on our webcam with my family while opening presents. We figured that seeing them through the computer was the next best thing than actually being there. We had a good time lounging around the rest of the day doing nothing in particular.

We were feeling festive

Alexa came over to make little snowmen!

Visiting with the Nielsens on Christmas

Our first little tree

For New Year's Eve, we went to Lance's dad's house in Park City. Steve and Gail were so nice for letting us come over. The four of us went downtown for the evening and were amused by the drunkards and scantily clad women prancing around in sub zero temperatures. We had so much fun! The next day Stacy and I woke up early and went shopping while the boys went sledding with Steve. It was such a relaxing winter break! I'm so thankful that I have such great friends and family to spend these times with.

Park City!

Updaters

Wow time flies by! So much has been going on lately I haven't realized how long its been since our last post. Alot has been going on in our lives. I quit my job at the orthodontics office I was working at, and am currently working a temporary position in a restorative/cosmetic dentistry office. Andrew is still at the pharmacy, but is letting his boss know tomorrow that he is leaving. Yikes! He really likes working there and is sad to go, but we're both looking forward to the future. We are leaving at the end of November for Provo, Utah. We will both be attending BYU!!! I already have two years down and Andrew has his AA degree in marketing and liberal arts so hopefully we'll be done in no time at all. I am excited to move closer to my best friends and Andrew is suprisingly excited to go to school again after taking this semester off.
So right now our main goal is to find a place to live in Provo. We've been looking alot on craigslist for contracts but we are coming out in two weeks to find a place. Hopefully there will be alot of places available! We're really excited about this move and feel fortunate to have this opportunity.

On another note, we went to Disneyland last week! We needed a vacation and Bear River had the week off from school so we met up with my family. We had a blast! It seriously is the happiest place on earth. We drove down Wednesday morning, went to the park Thursday-Saturday, and just got back to Rocklin this afternoon. Three days was a little much but it was so fun! I felt like a little kid again :) Luckily, we saw a family that we knew from our ward and they won dream fastpasses. They oh so kindly added us to their group and we all got dream fastpasses! Thank you Morris'!!! This allowed us to get on all the popular rides in Disneyland and California Adventure without waiting in line. I'll post pictures when I load them onto my computer. I had so much fun hanging out with my family and my hubby. We realized that this was probably our last big trip for a while. I love my fam and I'm going to miss them when we move. Come visit me all the time you guys!
