annual.family.reunion

just got back today from a weekend filled with fishing, plenty of food, and campfires.  all held in the great outdoors and surrounded by the best family!  although, like many, i do not fully know ALL of my relatives, we had such a great time getting together with everyone and enjoying our time away from everyday life.

even better than that was having the chance to go camping with my family and sharing some laughs, beating shane and bri in a close game of horse shoes, and getting some fun stuff at the auction they hold every year.  we even tried finding a lake close by that we had heard about and after hours of driving found out that it was up the next canyon. as fun as this weekend was, i would be lying if i said i wasn't glad to be home, the shower was calling my name and so we're some episodes of Friends :)

matt and i have been blessed to have such great families on both sides and we truly have such a great time whenever we are with them! we love you all :)

my.first.blog :)

so we've got some catching up to do... me and matt have been married for over a year and i'm finally getting around to the blogging business!  we had a fabulous wedding, honeymoon, and first year :) 

first off, i'm happy to announce that we are still happily married and have finally found ourselves an apartment in Orem to call our home (well at least for the next year) :) matt also got accepted into the paramedic program at UVU and is also currently trying to get a job as a firefighter.  i am finally starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel and will have my bachelors degree in exercise science soon enough and then its graduate program time which means another three years... sheesh! from there we are hoping to move a little further up north and find ourselves a home and a new edition to the family :) and no, that does not mean baby... we are wanting to get ourselves another adorable puppy like we had a short time ago, but this time be able to keep her and love her forever! 

we have the best friends and families in the world and want to say thank you to all of them who have been there for us and helped us out in so many ways over the past year and made it so much fun :) i'm thrilled for all the fun summer weddings coming soon and adventures this next year will bring!!!
