"Whatever our souls are made up of his and mine are the same."

So, it's been a while, but we finally got our pictures. Now that we have them they were so worth the wait. I LOVE them! July, 26th is one that I will never forget. It was the day I married my best friend...not just for all time, but for all eternity. To feel that way there is no explanation, to know that I will always be with him puts my mind at ease. Sorry there are so many it's so hard to pick just a few. So, without further ado here are some wedding photos :)






















































































Ok, before the craziness of school set in Nick and I decided to take a trip to Yellowstone and go through the park. I had never been there before and since we live fairly close we decided to go! Lucky for us the day we went was free admission into the park! Yay!! 








We also had perfect timing and saw Ol' Faithful shoot up! I was so excited! 
We had a good relaxing conference weekend as well. We went for a walk in the park and saw a lot of pretty fall colors. It was a beautiful day, we didn't even need a jacket! We climbed in a big tree too! 




Now school is in full swing and we are pretty busy, but we still make time relax and just spend time doing whatever we want. This up coming weekend we are Boise bound! Stay tuned for more adventures! Thanks for scrolling through a long post!

Some fish, plants, and a few other things...

Well here it is! Another blog post! First of if no one else is counting down we sure are!
It happens Friday! It's so crazy to think that my brother will officially be a dad and that we will be welcoming two new people to our family! 

A couple of weeks ago Nick and I went with his little sister Hannah to go school clothes shopping in Idaho Falls. His mom met us there later and after lunch we ended up looking at the cutest little puppies. They had little Pomeranians which were giant fluff balls and little white schnauzers! Well we were petting them and thinking they were so cute when his mom bought one! Here she is! 
Her name is Bailey...so yes that does get confusing, but she is a really cute tiny dog! That doesn't stop her from being feisty though! We go visit her on Sundays and she is actually growing pretty fast! She loves playing with the cats. We are surprised the cat hasn't clawed her yet! 

So you remember in my last post we had a plant that Nick named Hans. Remember how he was slowly dying? Well, it's hard to say because I know how attached we all were, but Hans didn't survive despite our greatest efforts...
We tried everything with him, but I guess this just wasn't the place for him. Maybe he is happier wherever he is now. Last week we also went to our very first baseball game! It was a date night with Nick's coworkers and we had to have everything explained to us throughout the game. It was a fun experience though! 

On Saturday we had the whole day to ourselves and we actually had a lot of fun. We went to lunch at Costa Vida, played some phase ten (I won), and went walking around some stores. While we were in the stores Nick found some pretty stylish shoes. His face says it all! 


We also found some fun sunglasses

Later that night we went fishing at his parents pond. he caught two fish and well... I caught some moss and sticks...haha



Since yesterday was Labor Day Nick had the day off so it was time to run some errands and ultimately enjoy the day. We started out at the mall where we searched for a calendar because we really needed something to help us keep track of everything. Nick doesn't use it very much, but I love it! 

While we were in Idaho Falls we went over to petco to look at the different animals and we were looking at fish when we spotted these suckers! 

They were seriously 12-15  inches and there were two of them in the tank. Well, we really almost got them, but then realized we didn't know where we would keep them. We are thinking that one of our next purchases will be one of these fish. Nick really wants one! They are pretty cool too. 

While we were in Idaho Falls we went and saw Despicable Me 2 which was really cute! We ended the day with a trip to Winco to get some groceries. Well, I left Nick in charge of getting the hamburger. When he came over with the cart what was inside? A 10 pound thing of hamburger! Well, at least it will last us a while. He cam home and cut them into 1 pound sections and put them in little bags to freeze! Here is the result! 

Well there is our little update from our life. Nothing too exciting, but we try to stay busy! 
Next stop is Boise on Thursday for the wedding on Friday with a weekend long party with my family! Thanks for reading!

Another Wedding Day! And life updates!

Well, we have started the countdown for yet another wedding. Mhm! Another!


Teil and Ali are getting married in 22 days! We are sooooo excited for them! Marriage is really the best! You get to spend all of your time with your best friend and I know they will love that. I am really excited because when Nick and I go we can just relax and actually eat the food and party it up without being center of attention! It's the BEST! 

Now for an update on married life... I let Nick cook some hamburgers for dinner one night on the foreman grill and this is what happened... 
With practice it can only get better right? Don't get me wrong they still tasted great, but they don't look the best haha. 

We went to visit his parents one night and we got there to see that one of their goats had two babies!!! They are so stinking cute. They are only 4 hours old in this picture and they were already moving all over the place. 

Yesterday was a rough day for me for different reasons, but I just have to say I have a husband that cannot be beat! He came home from work and just listened to me talk for 2 hours...seriously! He also brought me these! 
Yup I love him! 
Ok ok one final update before I sign off for the day! Nick's mom gave us this plant... Nick lovingly named him Hans and well when we first got him he was pretty happy and perky well... I guess we don't know how to take care of him because this is what he looks like now. 

So don't think we neglect him because we don't! You would think that after working in a flower shop with all of these plants and flowers I would be able to keep this little guy alive, but I swear he is from another planet or something! He hangs out by our sink and we give him water..so we thought he might want some sun, but he didn't want that either...so we brought him back in with hopes that he would come back alive, but he still looks like this. One can only hope he will get better right? 

Well that's our update for now! We are headed to bear lake this weekend for his grandma's birthday so that should be fun! Everyone have a great rest of your week! Until next time!

So... It's been awhile...

Well, I have been a complete slacker with this blog lately! I'll try to pick it back up. Life has been crazy busy and it has finally started to slow at least a little bit. I'll do the whole wedding post once I get the pictures from the photographer.

Nick and I finally got all moved into our apartment. It is a cute little one bedroom. We have spent the last couple of days unpacking and decorating and it is pretty dang close to being done. I did not realize how much stuff I had until we tried to squish it all into here. I'd say it looks pretty darn cute. Nick had to go back to work on tuesday so I've been unpacking, trying to find a job, and trying to get my stinking name changed....not easy haha. We have been settling in to married life and it is great to be able to come home every night to your best friend. There isn't a whole ton to do here, but we have fun with what we can find. Our latest adventure is practicing the song Ali and Teil asked us to sing for their wedding.... we have four weeks to do it and I guess we will see how it turns out.

 After that the wedding craziness can finally die down and we can all return to normal! Which is great news because honestly planning a wedding isn't as much fun as pinterest makes it seem haha! Everyone have a great rest of their week and a fantastic weekend!!

So I thought before I totally crash out from being completely tired I would post a few engagement pictures that Nick and I took on friday evening. Seriously in LOVE with this photographer and since Nick pretty much spoils me we got her!  Now the pictures you see are the only ones we have seen too. So believe me when I say these make me want to see more too! Enjoy!
