One year already?

Jeff and I will be celebrating our one year anniversary next Monday, July 9. I can't believe how fast time has flown by. We were married in the San Diego Temple. It seems like just yesterday this happenend. We will be up in Yellowstone with my whole family next week as we celebrate our anniversary. I love my husband more and more each day-he is so good to me.

This past year we also bought a home in Henderson, Nevada. We figured with the market the way it was that we needed to jump on the opportunity. We bought at a perfect time. Our home is 10 minutes from work for me and we have a wonderful ward. It is a 5 bedroom, 3 bath home, and it is more than I ever thought it could be. I have loved decorating our house and making it our own.

I also survived my 8th year of teaching! I had a great class this year-so many great kids that tried their best and were always so helpful to me. I will miss many of my kids next year as I start a new year, but that's how the cookie crumbles!

This summer I played volleyball with Jeff's female family in the Cedar City, Utah games. Our team was "It's All Relative." I had a fun time playing with them and getting to know everyone better. I got to play with my sister-in-law and niece. That was a great experience.



In May Jeff and I took some engagement pictures down at Lake Las Vegas. Our friend CJ did an amazing job. Here are some of my faves. Oh, and I get married in 3 days, so I will be sure to post some pictures from the wedding soon!

ENGAGED!!!

Jeff proposed! After 10 1/2 months of dating, he proposed! Jeff asked me on Monday, April 11. We went hiking up on Lone Mountain in the NW area of Vegas. We hiked up at sunset so that we could see the city lights come on. It was so romantic and beautiful. We got Capriotti's for dinner up on the mountain. The lights were bright and it was absolutely beautiful. As we were going to leave Jeff told me that he thought he ripped his jacket, so he was fiddling with it. Next thing I know he gets down on his knee and asks me to marry him! Of course I said yes!

So, we are getting married Saturday, July 9, in the San Diego Temple. I feel so incredibly lucky to have found him. I love Jeff so much and I cannot wait to be his wife!

Brianhead Weekend!

Jeff and I headed up to Cedar City this past weekend with his sister and her family. We drove up so that we could go sledding up at Brianhead. We had a blast. It was freezing cold, even all geared up in snow pants, a coat, and boots. It was fun hanging out with my future family. We headed back to Cedar and had dinner together at his aunt and uncle's house. We played the Kinect and Rockband. It was a great 3-day weekend.

Holy cow! It has been forever since I last updated my blog. Life is moving along. Sometimes fast, and sometimes slow.

I cannot believe that Jeff and I have been dating for 7 1/2 months now. It seems like we just started dating. I am so in love with him. We are planning on getting married, sometime this summer. Nothing is official yet, but it's going to happen. So exciting. I cannot imagine my life without him. He makes me feel beautiful and like I am the only one in the room. He is amazing. I can never get enough of being with him.

I love my boy! He is so good to me. We have been having an amazing summer! Movies, bowling, playing pool, and just hanging out. He is such a great guy and is always telling me how amazing and beautiful I am. I am not usually the gushing type, so I apologize now, but he is wonderful and I love him.

Summer Fun!

So this summer has been so amazing thus far! I am not even a month into my vacation, but it has been so great! I have been able to spend a lot of time with my boy, Jeff. We have been to several movies (Toy Story 3, A-Team, Killers), played Frisbee golf, gone out to eat, played pool, and just spending time at our houses has been great.

My friends Chris, Kristen and Nick, came into town this last week and so we all met up for bowling and then Golden Spoon. I met them in the Singles' Ward years ago. They now live on the other side of the country going to school and being a doctor, so it was fun to catch up with them this last week.

I am heading off to San Francisco with some friends this week as well. We have a lot of fun things planned. In July I am flying to Boise to visit a great friend who I used to teach with. It will be fun seeing her in a couple of weeks!
