Jesse makes me laugh!

Ok funny story! Jesse had to go to the church early to type up the program, but was going to come back up to pick me up for church. So I was just getting ready and Jesse opened the door and first thing he says is "I sat on my toast!" I just started to laugh! So then I have to ask how this happened. He told me that he ate one slice on his way to the car, but saw someone walking so he decided to pick him up. Well then he didn't want to eat the other piece in front of him, so he held on to it. He figured he'd leave it in the car while he typed up the program real quick. Well as soon as he finished he got back in the car, sat down, and that's when he realized it! So to say the least, we're hoping the dry cleaners know how to get toast out of pants!

Our Love Story!

Well I've decided that since we started our blog about a year late, I figured I should probably catch up on our time together. Here's where our lives began! EFY. (We highly recommend EFYing to find your eternal companion! Worked for us!) We were co-counselors the first week of EFY 2007 and Jesse was smitten from the beginning-it took me a couple more days but pretty soon I caught on. He asked me out for that weekend and all the rest is history!

This picture shows Jesse making the initials COW standing for Crush of the Week.Yeah he's pretty cute!

These were our other co-counselors, Jake and Savannah. Too much fun!

After a long summer of EFYing, we went to DISNEYLAND with a bunch of EFY counselors! What a blast! It was here under the firework show that Jesse and I had our first kiss! Awww!

We couldn't pass up this picture for "Just in case"

We got engaged on Dec. 15, 2007. Jesse did an excellent job of combining random and romantic into one awesome engagement. I was sent on a scavenger hunt where at each pit stop I was welcomed by a ninja. Once I got to the final place, I found Jesse and he was standing there all cute in his suit holding a sign that said "What I wanted to say is..." and then another said "To me you are perfect" He then got down on one knee and pulled out the ring. It was perfect!









Then we got MARRIED! After a 4 month engagement, we finished our winter semester of school, raced down to St. George on the 24th, and were married in the St. George Temple on April 25th 2008 at 10:40am. It could not have been a more perfect day! The weather was gorgeous, everything flowed smoothly, and we loved every minute of it!

Our Love Story Part 2

HONEYMOON in Cancun!

The Yawn... Jesse just happened to take a picture while I was yawning... what are the odds!

Summer was a bit of a rush, so here's some high points! The lake was definitely on our to-do list!Our TV exploded! (some power surge.. don't ask me cause I can't describe the problem)

Hit up Lagoon with my family

Made paper airplanes for FHE one day.

More of the Lake

Can't have a summer without SCUM! (We play with hats at my house!)

Some Bowling!

Some Nickelcade!

Some Weddings

And lots of fun!

Our most recent additions to our family. Our awesome scooter and our cute little hamster. We figure we better start off with small responsibilities before we jump into something big! These both joined our family last summer and we've been certainly enjoying them.This is Jesse's hair after a scooter ride! So funny! He's still pretty dang cute though!


Not much really happened between the start of school and Christmas, so I'll just jump to there!
We decided to start our Christmas season off right with a trip to Temple Square. So beautiful!


And this is what happened the first day we got to St. George for Christmas! Wisdom Teeth Extravaganza! And lucky me.. only HALF my face swelled into something ugly...


The beginning of the Gingerbread experience! As you can see, we don't mess around with gingerbread houses with my family!

Our final village

These are some of the hilarious details that I couldn't help but post.

Ok we're up to speed now! (More or less!) This was us over New Years. We had some cousins go swimming and we were the noble few who went ice skating! It was a blast!
