We Took A Road Trip...

And went to STANFORD! Larry and I took a day and drove down to Stanford University. It is such a long shot that Larry would go to law school here and its still 1 year away but its fun to dream and think about. It was such a fun sunny day and we got lunch, walked around the nearly deserted campus and just enjoyed being together. After a long semester of cramming and me working 2 jobs we had not really spent much time together. Its fun to imagine us being here someday close to family and maybe with babies of our own? We still have lots of work to do but just starting to plan makes it feel like its coming sooner then later. Isn't it fun to be in love and married? Its been 1 year and 3 months and it sometimes feels like forever but other times its still exciting and new like when we were dating, I love those days the best.

The First Year Comes To An End...

We made it! Happy one year anniversary my love. Its been an exciting year!

Got Married
Lived in California for fall semester working & going to school
Moved to Utah in December
I stared at a new school WSU!! whoot whoot
We lived in Hooper for 4 months with Larry's parents
I hated Utah and cried almost every day
I took a full load & Larry too and I got my CNA license
I got a job on campus at the bookstore
We moved to on campus married housing!
Went to school all summer & worked
I got As in Anatomy & physiology
Larry made mock trial team & moot court
I got offered a supplemental instructor job for A&P {I teach A&P for 2 hours a week}

We have had a great year...a move that was terribly hard on me. Let me tell you if you want to test a marriage move to somewhere cold where your wife knows no one. {haha} Really its been a huge blessing to be here at Weber its a great fit for us and school and life has been great. I have met some really great friends and love living on campus. Larry is so patient and kind and loving towards me. He was everything to work out perfectly and just wants the best for us. He is a great companion and I am grateful for him...here is to ONE YEAR MY LOVE!!

Sunday Hike

So this blogging thing is a bit harder then I thought. You need to have an exciting life to blog. We are doing the same thing day after day. School & work consume 100% of our time. I am still working tons and studying more then my brain thought possible. The campus is still pretty busy during the summer and there are lots of camps going on so the dorms are filled with high school students each week. Last week there was band camp, that was fun having load tuba noises coming from the distance at off hours of the day. Sunday we took a hike up to a tall waterfall, I almost died :) It was pretty though to see the valley and the sunset.

Oh To Fall In Love...

We got to get away from Utah for the week in between spring and summer semester. The main reason we came out was for Halie Foells wedding! It was a beautiful breezy day at the end of May. It was nice to get away from the bookstore and school and relax. It was nice being in the temple with Larry {even though the poor guy was sick} and just not think about anything except for love! Halies reception was in her backyard the following day and a lot of my cousins came up. Its funny when we all get together its one big party and I love it. I have 35 first cousins and then lots of new babies around, I love that my mom comes from a big family of 9 children it makes for really great family events. My other cousin was getting married the following week but sadly we had to get back to school and work. I am taking a full load and so is larry. I am really loving working in the bookstore and all the perks that comes with that and our new apartment on campus. Thats the update with us for the most part.

Happy Birthday Larry!

To the husband who is willing to let me cry, listen to my complaints, scratch my head, shovel the car, and heat the car before we go to school Happy Birthday! You are one of a kind. Last year we had been engaged one week on your birthday and now we have been married 7 months. Hope you have a great birthday eating lots of cake and maybe some cafe rio?? Hint Hint!

FRIENDS!!

I have these best friends that I have had forever. We were lucky enough to be in the same ward, go to seminary & high school together and now all be in the same (2) states going to college together. I seriously LOVE my friends. They know me so well and we have done so many things together. My high school experience was amazing because of them. We hung out everyday, went to church dances together, had all the same friends and then lots of others to, it was a great mix and I seriously loved being with them. When college started and we all went different ways we were still able to get together and now even being married I have been able to see them. Larry recognizes that I need to see them regularly and when they get married (hopefully soon for Cortney) we all plan that we will hang out as married couples! On Saturday I was able to go down to Provo and hang out with them all because Cortney was visiting from BYUI. We talked, talked, shopped, and even grabbed a bite to eat. I was sad when I had to leave and go back to my husband while they had fun singe activities to go to. Larry reminds me constantly that they are looking for what I have so I need to be happy for the stage I am in, and that they will join it eventually as well. Sometimes its lonely but I know they will find the right guys soon and then it won't be as weird. Love you friends!

{Me, Jill, Cortney, & Lauren}

Studying

Really this is what we do pretty much whenever we aren't working. Gets old right? One random evening I lost it and pulled the camera out to document the fact that we are actually getting a college education :) and that we are going crazy because of it! One day when I am a nurse and Larry is a lawyer we will look back on these days with happiness right...yeah right!
