Hooray for a New Year!

Well friends and family, it is officially 2008. I can't believe it. We have been married for 8 months now. The one year mark is coming up... CRAZY!! Seems like just yesterday I was bawling over wedding plans and cancelled photagraphers.. I am so happy to start a new year, but the end of last year was a blast. We went down to southern Utah and spent alot of time in the car visiting everyone we could. We were spoiled by everyone and got all the wonderful presents we could ever dream of. Adam got a remote control helicopter and a fish camera from his dad.... He was like a little kid, he was so excited. And of course Susie hooked him up with the feather bed he has been wanting. The pillowtop mattress wasn't soft enough. Hah. I was spoiled with all sorts of stuff for the house, and my moms banana bread recipe. YES!!! We had a blast everywhere we went, but at my brothers house there were kids, so of course it was the most entertaining. I will just have to show you with a few pictures to prove it to you...



Here are Blakely and Trentin. We let them open ONE present before dinner... And as we were waiting for everyone to be ready, Blakely coudn't wait. It was pretty funny.




Aren't we a cute couple? And I know you all love the chops he's got goin on...




This is me and Trentin. My cuddle bug. I just love him.



Yeah.... I don't even really know what to say. On Christmas morning when the kids were done opening presents, Adam fell asleep in his footie pj's with the family dog on his tummy... Unfortunately he woke up just as I was taking the picture. He had to make sure that he was not only covering his own face, but Baby's face too.

The holidays were great. It was really fun to see as much of the family as we got to, but that is all over now, and it's back to the routine. I love my routine... :) Love you all!

Thanksgiving

So, it is 1:20am, and I cannot sleep. Not that this is a shocker in any way. Hah. As I was trying to sleep, I started to think about how amazing my life is. I have so many things to be grateful for. I have an amazing family that has always supported me in everything I do. I have great friends, old and new. I absolutely love my job. I have a wonderful place to live. And last, but not least... In fact, most importantly, I have the most amazing husband I could ever have asked for. He is 100% supportive in every decision I make. He is loving. He is affectionate. (And we all know I need ALOT of affection.) I just can't say enough good things about him.




The last thing I want to mention here is how extremely grateful I am for my religion and my faith. I would not be who I am and where I am today if I didn't truly believe and know in my heart that I have a Heavenly Father who loves me very much. And not just me, but loves us all. And will do anything to make sure that we are happy. As long as we WANT to be happy. This is my new lesson learned. I can only be happy if I want to be happy. And to know that I am in control of my own destiny, and that I can make my future ANYTHING I want it to be with the help of my true best friend, my Father in Heaven, is the most incredible feeling.



I love my life...

New Blog

Well, here is our blog. I (Tone) was told to do this, so I did. Haha. Anika... This is for you. :) Now you know how loved you are. I don't even know what to say here... Not yet at least. I am totally going to have to get used to this. All I know is that I've got it all set up... At least for now. And we are pretty boring, so I don't know who will read it, but at least we are trying. Trying to be cool. Trying to be hip. Haha. In all reality we are somewhat retarded.. And you would all know what I mean if you were in the same room as Adam right now. I think I just almost wet myself.... AAAAAAHHHHHHHHAHAHAHAHAHAH. Look out... WE ARE HERE!!! THE SOPERS!!
