The Big One Year Anniversary!!

Well, on June 23, 2007 Nick and I were married in the Bountiful temple so it being a year ago Nick and I made it to our first anniversary!! I really do feel pretty old now being married for over a year! I can't believe how fast it has gone. Nick said that people always say that the first year is the hardest and if that is going to be our hardest we're pretty excited for the rest to come cuz it wasn't too shabby!! Nick surprised me and took me to Anniversary Inn which was so fun. We stayed in the Swiss Family Robinson room which was really cool. They are a little pricey but I definitely recommend it to anyone!! I really do appreciate Nick and all that he does for me. I truly can say that I did marry my best friend and although we may not always agree on some things I would not want to be with anyone else! Since being back from S.D. things have been fairly uneventful for us. Nick is taking a class and will start his CNA class this next week and he's working! It hasn't been one of those summers like in high school where every day you wake up wondering what you should do that day...go camping? boating? some kind of summer sport camp? no no..nothing like that anymore! The days are planned out for us so we have very little time to play but we do try to take advantage of every spare moment by going to play tennis or biking or something of the sort! We hope to make some time to enjoy this nice weather but we may just have to settle for looking out the windows of our cars while driving to work!! Life's great!!


This is just a shot of the room we stayed in! Ya that's a tree house thing!! Awesome!!

Trip of the Summer!!..so far!


Well lets not all make fun of my camo pants because the point of this post is to say thanks to my parents for taking me fishing this last weekend! I was fortunate enough to go home for the weekend and spend some quality time with them both. Nick had to study for a big test in his physiology class so he stayed here in Logan. It was kind of different because it felt like I was back in high school again where it was just us three hangin out! We hiked into Lake Cleveland because the road is still closed because of all the snow! That was an adventure! I can say with my dad's determination that wasn't the first time we have hiked in while it being covered in snow. We caught 9 fish between the 3 of us which is not the best for the amount but we had the entire lake to ourselves for almost the whole day! I had such a good time! Other big news is that I finally got a job which is going really well so far. I work at SOS Staffing which basically I help other people get jobs! I work with two guys who are LDS, married and fairly young so we all have a lot in common and they are really fun to work with. Nick and I are hoping to have a little time to spend camping this summer but other than that life just keeps ticking away!!

Back in Idaho/Utah!

Well, for those of you who haven't heard already. Nick and I are back in Logan working and going to school. Nick and I decided it was more important for him to get this physiology class and get his CNA this summer so it will increase his chances of getting into the Nursing program this winter. It has definitely been a crazy past week! We have been fortunate enough to have family here in Logan that has allowed us to live with them. Nick got his old job back and has started school. I am in the process of interviewing for a couple of jobs and hopefully I can get one soon. Along with being stressed to no end, I was able to go with Ericka and Darren to the good ol' Barrus family reunion. I had a blast seeing everyone and being able to catch up with those cousins I haven't seen in 2 years or more! I missed all of those who couldn't come. It was fairly cold but we still enjoyed spending time in the mountains.

This was at the talent show and this was pretty hilarious! I really enjoyed each person's part!
