Guess what I saw...

The Wellsvilles!

I have not seen these babies for a while!! I took the garbage out before work yesterday and I looked to the West...my heart was warmed by this beautiful image! Even though we have way more winter than any other season, I really do enjoy living in Cache Valley!

Fun Family Outings

We had a really fun weekend! We went to dinner with my family

for Whit's birthday Friday night and we went to dinner and an

Aggie Basketball game with Bryce's family on Saturday night.

It was so nice to spend time with everyone!

We love our family!

Love them AGGIES!!!

Bryce and I have had a lot of fun attending Aggie Basketball games this year. My office often has tickets left over so we have been able to attend quite a few. This was our first picture with Big Blue! Ah! So fun! Gotta love them Aggies!!

Month of Joy

We had a great December. The semester ended for Bryce (he passed ALL his classes, YAY), I got some days off work (not NEAR enough but again, YAY), we visited with family and friends, Christmas, my birthday, and New Years. A lot was going on for our family. We really enjoyed the time we were able to spend together! It seems we can never get enough of it!

We were spoiled all month! We both got a lot of fun things for Christmas. Bryce's favorite gifts were a wild rag (aka silk scarf), a nice jacket, a hunting movie, and a bear rug (that will be done in February). My favorite things were a nice blue coat, clothes, and photography classes. We also got a cool cache cooker and a Garmin GPS from our folks. Like I said, spoiled!

I sure got spoiled for my birthday too! I will add, it was one of the best birthdays ever!! Bryce had my name announced on the Kix 96 Birthday Round Up, took me to Tangled, got me some beautiful flowers, and really just treated me like a princess all day. But, he usually does do that! We had a little party that evening at my mom and dad's house. It was a very nice day.

Over the break we visited Temple Square, went on several rides looking for animals, and went the Hardware Ranch. It was great to be able to have the time to do whatever we wanted!

I also added one sad picture from January below...one of my first days back at work after the holiday I was hit in the parking terrace up on campus. Our beautiful red car has a nice crack right up the corner! I was so sad. I cried! Luckily, it seems like the insurance of the gentleman that hit me is going to take really good care of us. I hope that holds true!!

We are lucky kids! We live a wonderful and we are happy! What a good way to end the year!

Much pleasure thou can'st give me

Bryce and I put up our Christmas tree. Much like last year, it is so beautiful in our home! I love the feeling of coming home to a warm, cozy home with a Christmas tree in the front window. It is so fun to sit in our house together, just hanging out, with only the glow of the tree for our light. Christmas is such a magical time of year. May your days be merry and bright!

one BIG one

Bryce and I celebrated out first anniversary this month. How magical!!

Have you ever heard someone tell a young couple, "You've been married one year now. You made it!" I always thought it was odd when I would hear it. Now the thought of it makes a little more sense. Marriage is work! It is most certainly something Bryce and I have had to learn a lot about. And I am sure the learning will continue for years to come. But, what a fun learning experience it has been! Bryce is a wonderful person in absolutely every way! He is my very best friend and I am happy to call him mine.

It has been a big year for us. We have seen good and bad, happy and sad, and ups and downs. I graduated from USU and Bryce started. Bryce changed jobs several times. We sold my car and bought 2 different new ones. We took a lot of fun vacations. I got a really cool full time job at USU. Our families taught us a lot about life and love. We moved. The list could go on. We were lucky to have each other through it all. I cannot think of anyone I would rather spend my time with. Bryce is always lifting up those that are around him and I have learned a lot from his Christ like example.

To celebrate this momentous occasion, Bryce and I spent a couple days in Park City. It was a great little getaway.

I gave Bryce a little basket of goodies. Each one mentioned a sense and told him why/how I loved him with that sense. I found the good idea here.

I think he liked it :)

And, of course, Bryce SPOILED me! He got me an iPod Touch! I was totally surprised. He shouldn't have but I sure love it!


We brought our yummy cake topper with us! (Thanks for keeping that for us mom!)

We spent one day looking around at the Deer Valley Resort. It was a pretty fancy place!

We rode up the "funicular" to the main hotel where we found a game of chess. I had never played before but Bryce taught me what to do...

...and guess who won!


It was a wonderful time! I am gratful for a wonderful first year and look forward to an eternity more!
