Whose got it better than us?? No one.

We were really excited for the Super bowl this year. Mainly due to the fact that J's favorite team, the 49ers, made it to the big game. J insisted on TONS of food, so we decided to invite some people over to help eat it. We invited the Chandler's and the Long's (cousin's family). I am kicking myself now for not getting a group picture of everyone. I think my favorite house guest had to be little Ryker. He celebrated the game by eating tons of cookies, watching cartoons on his mom's phone, and exploring. I love him to pieces.

 

Josh experienced an array of emotions during the game. He chanted, talked to the TV, jumped up from his seat with emotion, and covered his face with his hat when the 49ers lost. I love being a 49ers family with J.

We'll get em next year boys!!!

Holes in the Wall

So we have finally moved into our new townhouse. It feels like home. We have been decorating and trying to organize everything in our spare time. On Saturday, (2/2/13) we decided that we would start trying to hang some things on the wall. J asked me to wait for him to hang them because at our last place I murdered the walls with holes. The past tenants left a few holes; therefore, we decided to just use some of those spots to hang things. The first nail went in with no problem. The second nail...hit something hard. J removed the nail and water started coming out of it. My first thought was that we had a secret water stash behind our wall. Turns out we hit a pipe!! So we called our landlord and her plumber husband came to the rescue. We watched as he used a saw to cut a HUGE hole in our wall. I wanted to cry. J just sat there laughing. He was trying so hard not to laugh that it made me crack up as well. That's why I married the guy.

 

After the hole incident, we decided to go to our favorite park. We seem to always make it to our park one hour before it closes. J and I usually spend our time walking the trails or exploring. This time we found out that the park has a dog park. A dog's dream of a place. It made my dog hunger come back. (desire to own a dog...not eat one). Overall, my Saturday with J was quit the adventure.

The day I became a Mrs.

April 6,2012

I dreamed of this day since I was a little girl. I have always been a hopeless romantic. So much of my time was spent dreaming of my future husband and our wedding day. April 6, 2012, the day that all of those dreams were becoming a reality. I was nervous, nervous, nervous. I wasn't nervous because I thought I was making the wrong decision. I was nervous because my groom was a freakin hottie and I was the lucky girl about to say I do. Can you blame me for a few butterflies? I used tissues to wipe my sweaty hands off numerous times before we were wed. The moment I saw Josh all I could think about were those childhood wedding dreams. Although my dream groom was pretty amazing, Josh surpasses him by far.

Our ceremony was beautiful and sweet. There were tears shed by most in the room. I tried not to concentrate on anyone, but Josh or I would have lost it and flooded the place with happy tears. There was a moment when my sweet groom got choked up...I will always remember the look on his face. Words were spoken about love and commitment and promises. I promised that handsome groom my forever and he promised right back.

After all was said and done it was time for some love from family and picture taking. All of the little girls treated me like a princess. I sure felt like one. The girls loved holding my flowers too.  I felt so much love. I also felt hot! Dallas Texas and a big ole wedding dress=BURNING!!! I loved my dress, but wanted to rip it off as soon as possible.

The bridal shower

February 2012

 

My bridal shower was thrown by my mom and other sweet women in my life. I wanted the theme to be a hot air balloon love theme. I could just picture Josh and I flying away in a hot air balloon madly in love. That may sound silly, but it's what this bride wanted. The day of the shower it was pouring down rain. Pouring. There were supposed to be balloons to complete the theme, but they all popped due to the weather. We went with it anyways. Everyone was so generous with the gift giving. We needed so much, but got almost everything we needed from family and friends. There was plenty of party food and tons of eating on my part. Just looking at the cake picture makes me want to lick my screen.  I'm thankful for everyone who was so supportive of Josh and I during all the wedding festivities.

 

 

 

It's hard to tell but the cake says, "Up up and away!"

It took a lot for me not to cram that cake in my mouth.

My mom makes the best fruit displays. See those daisies.

People enjoying.

I was dreaming of being a wifey who bakes.

 

All of the loot.

I'll go inside someday

March 2012

 

I always dreamed of the day that I would be able to go to the temple. All temples are so very beautiful and peaceful. The Baton Rouge, Louisiana temple is no exception. What a blessing to have a temple that is only a few hours of driving away. I was nervous to go through the temple for the first time to receive my endowment. It made it easier that I had so many wonderful ladies in my life go with me for the first time. On the three hour drive I was entertained with some hilarious and sweet newlywed stories from the group. I laughed so hard that all some of my nerves went away. Going through the temple for the first time is an experience I will never forget. There was so much peace, new understanding, emotion, and happiness felt that day. My heart swells thinking of my mom holding my hand in that eternally beautiful temple.

 

After the temple I was initiated into the temple club with a trip to Copelands. After every temple trip these ladies go on they always go to the same restaurant to pig out on New Orleans style food. I can't blame them. I ate way too much and of course even got some dessert.

 

The whole gang

Mother and daughter.

I'm glad I'm her daughter forever

Catching up

 

I'm in a funk. I blame it on that time of the month. Lately, I have wanted to blog more. For numerous reasons (no internet, time, ect), I haven't gotten around to it. I've done a really poor job of recording things for myself and my family in written words. I've got a lot of catching up to do. So I'm just going to start with past major events and go from there. Like hello....I never even wrote down anything about my wedding, honeymoon, or finished my love story. So here goes nothing. Cheers to recording for posterity's sake.
