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!
