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!

Good-bye!

I have officially graduated, and am now employed! After 4 months of Chad commuting to Centerville, everyday, we can finally move closer to his work and cut his commute down to less than 10 minutes! I think I have finally hit reality and realized that life is going to change quite a bit. I decided there are a few good-byes I need to make:(

Good-bye Utah County, and Chad's long commute. (Chad has been counting down the days to have it over with)...



Good-bye BYU Campus, Psychology Office, Seeing Mom Lindsay & Michelle almost every day.

Sorry Mom, I found this picture of you on google images when searching for BYU pictures and couldn't resist:)

My Family/house 15 minutes away.

Good-bye to having friends close by that I have met these past 4 1/2 years.




Good-bye shopping....okay so there is a lot of great shopping that i am excited to be closer to, but.... one particular mall and a few small stores I will be sad to be further from...(you know who you are!)


Good-bye extra small apartment, lead paint, laundry mat, 3rd floor, no elevator, and great view of Walmart.



Good-bye Traffic of University Parkway and just Provo in general!!!!!! unless you count the summer when all the students have already gone home.


Some of these things I am quite a bit more excited to be leaving than others, but don't worry...we will only be in Farmington, so we will see you all soon!

I am Thankful!!!

I know that Thanksgiving is past, but I thought I should write down a few things I am thankful for:

• I am thankful for my amazing husband who drives at least 2 hours in the car everyday to work and back so that I can finish up school.
  
• For moving back to Provo after never thinking he would have to step foot here after he graduated.
  
• For always leaving me the best parking spot at the end of the parking spaces.
  
• For scraping the ice off my car window before he leaves to work every day.
  
• For letting me drive his very nice car that he bought, while he drives a car that he sometimes has to wait 15 minutes before it will start.
  
• For letting us get a new washer and dryer for Christmas when what I know he really wants is a new snowboard.
  
• And for making me do my homework so I have good grades this semester.
  

Yep… I have the best husband ever!
