Family Pictures





I know this is so lame, but I was a slacker on our Christmas card this year. So here is my attempt to make up for it.

So much has happened this year, Chris and I have been so blessed! At the beginning of the year Chris and I got married. Everything went so smooth and we will never forget our special temple ceremony. Although it snowed we felt that it was a beautiful day and I would not have traded it for anything. We went to Cancun on our honeymoon and then packed up to go live in Miami for the summer. We had so much fun while we were out there and Chris worked so hard. We were also able to take a quick trip to the Bahamas before we returned home and it was gorgeous there. Since being back we have been living in an apartment in South Ogden. We are currently closing on a house loan that should go through this month and couln't be happier about it!

This year Chris has been quite the busy bee. Aside from everything else going on he has been working full time for Verizon, and is a loan officer for Republic Morgage. In his spare time he has been getting ready for us to be able to move (our house has a little remodling to do). Chris loves spending time with family and we generally never have a dull moment, anyone who knows Chris could agree with me on that.

This year was also a big one for me. It's not official until I get my dimploma in the mail but I recieved my associates degree this semester! I have a few semesters left now and am planning to graduate next December with my bachelors in Accounting. I usually keep myself super busy with all my homework but I love spending time with Chris. I could not have asked for a better husband!

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas...




The sun was shining all day for Ashley and Nelli's wedding...but we did not end up so lucky on the way home. From Beaver to Filmore it was a white out. There was not a lot of snow it was just blowing so hard that we couldn't see anything. At one point everyone was just stopped on the road because a semi had jack-knifed on the interstate. Luckily we had decided to caravan home with our friends Frank and Lynn, so of course to kill time while we were stuck in traffic there was a snowball fight!

Nelli and Ashley's Wedding


Our friends got married on Saturday December 13 in the St. George temple. It was such a beautiful day, and an amazing ceremony. We are so excited for them to start their new lives together and congratulate them on this accomplishment.

CHRISTMAS:)




I know it's a late post but we've been pretty busy. We put our tree up the first week of December. I love my new Christmas decorations and I may be a little biased but the pictures do not do them justice. The ribbon is actually tan with a chocolate brown but turns deep red in the light. Christmas has come so fast this year and we're so excited to spend time with our families.

Tagged!


I found it ironic that my sister-in-law Nicole tagged me on her seven year anniversary because the day after was mine and Chris' 7 month anniversary.

7 Random Memories:

1. My first random memory of Chris is when I first ran into him at a USU basketball game. I had met him the year before, but never hung out. My friend Ashley always had a hard time putting names with faces so we always came up with nicnames so I could remind her of who they were as they were approaching us. Chris ended up being 'Hott Chris' and I remember spotting him across the stadium later that night and thinking how cute I thought he was....and still is.

2. Chris and I had only been dating for about a month and it was Valentines Day. He took me to Ruby Tuesday's and when the hostess asked for our name to put on the waiting list Chris responded with the name Teedo. She started writing it down Tito and Chris said "No, it's T-e-e-d-o, Tito is my brother.

3. Two summers ago my brother and his family were visiting and I was getting ready for bed when I heard my youngest nephew crying. I went in the room he was staying in to get him and held him tell he went back to sleep. My brother came and took him from me and my nephew started crying because he wanted me to hold him. It sounds lame but it meant a lot to me because I only get to see them once or twice a year.

4. On the day Chris and I were married we were suppose to be at the temple at 10:15 and he showed up on time....but he had come straight from his friends office because he was doing my taxes..........and yes as crazy as it sounds we were married on APRIL 15! (Which is only ironic because I'm halfway through my bachelor's degree in accounting.

5. Chris and I went with some friends a couple summers ago to a festival out it Randolf, UT. A girl from the group was riding a horse on the side of the arena, her horse went out of control and threw her into a parked truck which broke quite a few bones in her face, morbid huh!

6. The first couple weeks when Chris and I started dating he received a email response from his brother who was on his mission at the time. He showed it to me and it read 'SOS Bachelor' and had a ship sinking, I thought it was so cute. Of course at the time I had to act casual!

7. The best is always last. When I first ran into Chris at the USU game he got my phone number and a few days later called to see what I was up to. I told him I was on my way home (my house at the time was about 30 minutes from Logan). He asked what he could do to talk me into coming back. I responded by saying that I was already about ten minutes away so it would have to be something really good, the dating scene was getting old to me and I figured he was just another guy. As lame as it sounds he offered IBC root beer and chocolate chip cookie dough, not knowing at the time that I am a sucker for food. We hung out for a few hours that night....and pretty much everyday since then. And although he may be just another guy to some he means the world to me!!!!

7 Random Facts:

1. My favorite thing to do is organize (anything), and I love tasking.
2. I worked construction for my dad's business for 2 summers, not because he made me but because I wanted to!
3. One of my legs is about a half inch shorter than the other.
4. I absolutely love food and on a good day could probably eat more than my husband.
5. Chris and I didn't say I love You until we had dated for about 7 or 8 months.
6. My husband is more cuddly than I am.
7. I don't love talking to on the phone I'd rather talk face to face.

7 Things I look forward to:


1. Finishing school.
2. Getting into a house.
3. Spending the rest of my life with Chris.
4. Our first Christmas as a married couple:)
5. Dinner;)
6. Going to my best friends wedding.
7. Our next vacation!

REAL GAME





About a week ago Chris took me took my first Real Game. It was their first game in the playoffs and they won by a goal in the last few minutes of the game. It was surprisingly warm and a lot of fun!
