Jan. 2013

We went to see my family to celebrate New Year's. While there I got to visit two friends I have not seen in a very long time. We played games and had fun! I fell asleep before the New Year rang in. We went home and shortly after, I was sick! I had the flu! YUCK! I really did not spend any time with my mom and didn't even get to see my grandma. :( Needless to say, I do not think I will be eating Moroni Turkey ever again.

Other than that, life went back to usual. Both of us busy with work.

Josh and I began going to a family ward up by where we live.

At the end of the month, Josh started to go through the process of his new job.

Dec. 2012

December was an insane month!

I got my hair done on the 1st.

I was busy at school. (When am I not?)

I got married the day after school ended for winter break. (Pictures Below)

Went on a two day honeymoon at Lake Las Vegas.

Tried to organize the apartment since I had some time.

Spent "Christmas" with Josh's family. Several people had to work on Christmas including Josh so we celebrated it later.

Oct. & Nov. 2012

I decided to merge October and November together because in all honesty, I do not remember much of anything.

I remember being stressed out with work, trying to get acclimated to teaching second grade, and being flexible with every change that occurred. I felt like I was a sinking ship, no joke.

I was very thankful for Josh's family. His mother and sister planned the whole reception. I do not know where I would be in my job without them.

The bridal shower was in November. My roommates were so awesome to put the cute shin-dig together and have it at the house.

I also moved in November. Before I moved, I lived seven minutes from my job. After I moved, I lived a half-hour or longer from my job. They are the cutest apartments ever. I moved into a spacious one-bedroom apartment.

Pictures will come soon!

Sept. 2012

September was a crazy month. Josh and I decided to go to Zion National Park for Labor Day. He proposed! :) If you were following my blog, you now know why I have not posted for months! It was the cutest thing ever!

Before the start of the day.

As he proposed.

After proposal, chilling at Menu Falls

Better look at Menu Falls

We then got our engagement photos taken on Sept. 23rd at Floyd Lamb Park. Thank you Sheree Flick for the beautiful photography!

 

Towards the end of September, I quit my part-time job. It was was too much for me to handle between teaching and being engaged.

Updates Coming

Hello everyone!

It has been far too long, but I have been way too busy since school started to even think about blogging! Then I moved and I no longer have internet. So now, when I do get online I am busy trying to get done all the required things. Thinking of those things, I should be doing them now, but all my mind can think about is document, document, and document. So I am here to document my life changes. :)

Last Minute Day Trip

Josh & I took a last minute day trip to Zion National Park a few days ago. We had a much needed break and a lot of fun!

We started off with Angels Landing, then headed over to the River Walk, and ended with Weeping Rock. We attempted the Emerald Pools, but I was so sore that he made us turn around.

We ate at Blondie's Diner. :) We went into a few of the stores in and around Springdale/Zion.

We eventually made our way into St. George and stopped at the temple there. It is amazingly beautiful!

We got to relax and enjoy ourselves before our lives get hectic again. It is a nice pick-me-up to begin the new school year!

The Virgin River... muddy!

25th Birthday... Officially

My 25^th birthday was a 10 day celebration.

It started on Sunday, July 22^nd with a BBQ with my roommates and some friends. It was definitely interesting, but so much fun! My roommates and I did a movie night and gift giving on Tuesday, July 24^th.

On my birthday, Josh took me out for dinner at Hash House A Go Go at the M Resort. While I was there he surprised me with a birthday sash that I had to wear for the evening. At the end of dinner, I was given a mission. I had to complete 30 tasks that night as part of a scavenger hunt. I only completed 8… (pictures at the bottom of page!)

Josh’s actual birthday gift was given to me on Friday, July 27^th. I got a massage. It was amazing!

On Saturday, July 28^th, my coworker Kathy and I went out to celebrate our employment and my birthday!

On Monday, July 30^th, I had birthday dinner with Josh’s family. His dad’s birthday was that week as well, so 2 birthday celebrations in 1 night!

Then I got my final gift on Thursday, August 2 from Sheri. It was a book and a very chewy Rice Crispy treat.

If I want to get technical, my birthday was like a month long celebration because I got my gift from my mom & Clark on June 29^th. Yay for hair color!

Needless to say, I had fun and the time spent with all the people I cared about was really great!

Josh & I before leaving his house

Take a picture with our server! He was so great!

Take a picture with valet and the M logo. This guy was really great too.

Rub a pregnant woman's belly. This one no one thought I would do including me, but it was the first one I did.

I had to get a soda out of a vending machine...

near an aquarium.

I had to get a picture with someone who had a tall drink. His friend on the right how to be cut out for something a bit vulgar.

Take a picture next to the monument with someone in a white shirt. I was getting tired so we cheated a bit.

I had to find someone to sing me Happy Birthday in a language other than English or Spanish...

They all sang on the tram, in German. Great group of guys!

I had to get a picture with a blonde, a brunette, and a red-head all together and they must have good shoes. This trio was the only I could find and yes, they did have killer shoes! This one ended the night.
