Family Pictures

We got family pictures with Cody's side of the family the end of August and they turned out awesome! Probably because my talented sister-in-law Michelle took them :) here is just a few of Cody and I that I wanted to share.




 

Happy 1 Year to us!

I can't believe that Cody and I have been married a year! I feel like we have been married much longer than that, but at the same time I feel like it was yesterday that we got married. I am so lucky and blessed to have Cody in my life and he fits me perfectly. He is someone that can only deal with my weirdness, he is the only one that can put up with my moodiness, and he is the only person that can love me for me.
I wanted to do something for him this year, but I didn't know what since I didn't know if he would be gone or if I had to work. Instead I decided to get him a card from Wal-Mart which this leads to a funny story.

Me, my sister, and my mom had to get a few things from Wal-Mart the Saturday before so I thought this would be a perfect time to get him a card. Well we were looking through the cards and a lot of them were cute, but they didn't seem to express how I really felt. After awhile of searching my sister pulls out this one card and she was like "oh man you gotta read this". I read it and half way through I started bawling like seriously almost sobbing. I turn to my sister and she is just laughing at me! There we are in the isle both laughing so hard and I'm crying like a baby. As you can see this card was exactly what I was looking for and I was definitely going to be getting this card. I don't know if it was just my "special time" or what, but even if it wasn't I still think I would have cried because Cody is so special to me. Now take a look at the card for yourself.
 
 
I love you Cody and I can't wait to see where our future takes us!

So it's been awhile....

Well... I am quite behind on the blogging and so much as happened so I don't really know where to start! I guess the easiest way will be to go by the month:

July:
  •     I graduated from BYU-Idaho with my Associates degree in General studies with a custom cluster in Home and Family Studies. I haven't technically graduated yet, I just walked a semester early.
  •     I applied for the Esthethics program at Austin Kade. 
  •     We moved back to Shelley! For now we are just with my parents until we figure out what will be happening with Cody's school in Pennsylvania. We both love it and don't miss the late night drives back to Rexburg.
  •      We added two sweet little boys to my side of the family named Payson and Jace. This makes four boys in a row. I'm nervous for when they get older.....
  •   And my brother and sister-in-law are expecting their first little one in February! We are excited and happy to see our family growing. (I sense it to be a girl, but that's probably because I want it to be.) :)
  • We went to Lagoon with Cody's family and had a blast! 
  • Cody applied for the PA program in Pennsylvania
August:
  • We climbed Table Rock for Mamma Lu's birthday. I thought I was going to die, but we all made it and it was totally worth it!
  • Cody was one out of the ten that got chosen for an interview to the school in Pennsylvania! I am so happy and excited for him and can't wait to see if we will be moving back east.
  • Cody started working at Idaho Steel and has enjoyed it so far.
There is probably so much more, but that's all I can think of. We have had such a good summer so far and we are excited for the fall!
