I'm Done!!!! for now.....

I just finished the 2nd time around of taking the GRE! I am feeling so great right now... I feel like I just finished taking finals all over again.
Now..... time to do some last minute Christmas shopping!

Who needs matches

Chad's parents gave us a couple pumpkins to carve for Halloween. I thought we had matches to light up our pumpkins; but when I looked in our cabinet, they were gone! What to do.... Well take advantage of our gas stove of course! We lit up the stove, lit some birthday candles to help light up the smaller wick candles inside the pumkins, and then watched the pumkins glow. Problem solved!

Pop-in-lock

I have been spending the week in New Mexico with Natalie, Keith, and baby Ezra before everyone comes into town for the baby blessing. This afternoon there was a lot of down time while Ezra slept; so Natalie and I looked up YouTube videos. I saw this one when it was on TV and I still cannot believe what this little boy can do! Something between crump and hiphop, he is amazing!

Babies!

Sorry guys, this is NOT an announcement for me and Chad, I just wanted to show off my cute niece and nephew! They both live out of state, so I have to show them off by their pictures. Kyle & Emily had Hadley almost 16 months ago and Keith & Natalie had little Ezra 3 weeks ago!!! I know I am a little bias, but you have to admit they are pretty stinking cute!



This was about a year ago. I can't believe how much older she looks now!








Thanks guys for letting me steal some pictures of your cute kids:) 

1 Year Down!

This last weekend was our 1 year anniversary! Chad kept what we were doing a secret just like he did for our honeymoon. I both love and hate surprises, but the anticipation part that I hate is unfortunately Chad's favorite. Even though it kills me to wait, the surprise was totally worth it! We stayed the weekend up in Park City, and went to dinner at Chad's favorite Brazilian Restaurant, Rodizio Grill. The outlets in Park City, right before school starts, are crazy....  so we spent all day Saturday shopping for couches instead. After a very long day going from store to store we ended up finding some on KSL that fit perfectly for both our house and our budget.

These are pictures from my phone so not the best.

Blogs???

I finally added a list of people's blogs to my blog. Is there any one else's blog that I can add to it?

Catch up time!!

>
Everyone has been telling me that I need to update the blog. It's true I do, and I have so much to update...so here it goes.

January:
We started our new Davis County life by moving into this 1 and a half room (the 2nd room is too small to be considered a full bedroom) 1 bath basement apartment in Farmington. It was small, but perfect for just us two! Check out the green floors:)



Chad gave me some beautiful roses for my birthday, and the cutest red shoes!
You can see a little more of what our small apartment looked like behind the flowers.


February:

Not much must of happened because I don't have any pictures for the month.

March:
Chad sends me a text while he is snowboarding that he is on his way home early along with this picture....



Chad had some stitches from having some moles removed. While snowboarding, Chad went off a jump and his phone in his jacket pocket hit right into his stitches....ripping them open. Instacare here we come....

Chad's sister Stephanie talked us into running a 5 mile race in Moab. Maybe next year we will be able to run the half marathon with her! While we were there we hiked up to Delicate Arch.



It was also Chad's birthday March 24! I secretly made this blanket for him with the help of his amazing sister Stephanie, his Mom, and Grandma Walker. (Thanks:)!)



WE ARE HOMEOWNERS!!!!! WE CLOSED ON OUR NEW CONDO THE 26TH OF MARCH!!!! This was another birthday present for Chad:)
This is what our condo looks like, but not ours. I found this one on the internet to show the outside view.



April:

PAINT PAINT PAINT..... We painted our newly purchased condo with the help of our very own expert painter Don (Chad's Dad). (Note to self: a home is not move in ready if it needs to be painted) We literally spent 4 weeks painting the ENTIRE house ceiling to baseboards. NOW it is totally worth it! Luckily Chad's parents live close by, and were willing to let us hang out at their house those 4 weeks we were painting.
These pictures are not the best but here are just a few of what it looks like now we are done painting..... just remember the walls were ALL a celery ice color before this!





Graduation! I graduated in December, but actually walked in April. I am an official college grad now! Emily and Hadley surprised me by coming down to Utah for my graduation! I was so surprised and excited to see them!!!!



I had to add this picture of Chad getting poked in the eye.... I couldn't stop laughing!

May:

Our families helped us move into our new place and we finally felt what it was like to be new home owners!

By the way...thanks to everyone for helping us move in and out these past few months!!! You are all amazing!
