Christmas in Nevada 2010

We went home to Nevada for Christmas and it was so much fun! The days flew by way too fast and we were both sad when we had to come back to the cold and snowy weather of Utah. While we were there we played games, ate wayyyyy too much food, saw lots of family, went on walks in the wonderful warm weather and looked at the stars, had lots of parties, and spent a lot of time playing this new dancing game we got on the Wii. We ended up with some really great gifts, although opening them at 4:45 in the morning wasn't such an exciting event hahaha (thanks Briana). I ended up staying longer than Josh since I am out of school til January 10th, which was really nice. I loved getting some extra time to play with my sisters and family. We went to Valley of Fire and did some hiking and climbing. We also spent a day in Vegas eating buffet food and walking around the Bellagio while looking at their amazing flower display and water show. I couldn't get enough of how beautiful the weather was. It's something you just don't take for granted when you live in northern Utah where it is basically winter most of the year. Thanks everyone for such a great Christmas! We miss you guys already!

Merry Christmas Everyone!

I just wanted to write and wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! The house is decorated, cards have been sent out, presents have been wrapped, and tomorrow is baking day! That is my favorite day of the year and sadly this is the first year I will be doing it without my Mom :(. Oh well, I guess it is time for me to step up and be the "mom" of the house ;). We will see how it goes lol. Josh and I had our Christmas a little early this year because we wanted it to be special and personal before we went to Nevada and were surrounded by family. It was a great moment that I will never forget. We both ended up with a lot of awesome gifts! I gave Josh: some clothes that look really Hot on him, TICKETS TO LINKIN PARK, Madden 11, and a U of U license plate cover thing. Josh gave me: a real pearl necklace with a matching pearl ring, a gift card to Sephora (so awesome), really cute black leather boots, a NEW CAMERA, and a pretty pair of hoop earrings. I stressed the Linkin Park tickets and the camera because those were both things that we really really wanted! Needless to say, we were both happy campers after that and the party wasn't over....we still had some Egg Nog to drink and some Christmas parties to attend :). 2010 has been a very good year for us and I'm excited to see what this new year will bring!







 

6 Months and Loving It!

I am two days late in announcing that Josh and I have made it to the 6 month mark!!! Marriage is so great and I don't know what I would do without my best friend and cuddle buddy. Josh is AMAZING in so many ways. He is always there to help no matter how tired or busy he is. He excels at taking care of me when I'm sick or just worn out from life. He is crazy and is always making life interesting with his "secret surprises" that he randomly springs on me when I'm not expecting it lol. But best of all, he is sweet, gentle, and the most decent man I have ever known. There have been very few (if any) men in my life who measure up to what Josh means to me. I can only hope that the next 6 months are just as great as they have been the first time around. Happy 6 month anniversary Joshua, I love you more than anything.
