Anniversary

We just celebrated our 2nd anniversary on Tuesday night. Monday night when I came home I saw this!

Then on Tuesday Blake and I both worked all day, and I got off of school. We both met at home at 5 and then he took me out to Outback Steakhouse. Then we went to Cold Stone and had some yummy ice cream. After that we got home and watched "What happens in Vegas" and had some popcorn and some sparkling grape juice. It was a really nice night to just relax and be with eachother because I don't get to spend very many nights at home with him. Tomorrow we are getting a couple massage and we both can't wait!

Our Home

Here are some pictures of our house that we moved into a couple of weeks ago. Sorry it took me a while to post them.

This is the back door and food storage.

This is the laundry room

This picture and the picture below are the 2nd bedroom. The doors are being used as storage right now.

This is our bedroom. Behind the door is Blake's closet

This my closet. I love how big it is!

Bathroom

This is the family room, pantry, and office. It used to be a bedroom but they made it into a family room. That is a hide a bed and a tread mill. There is also a fire place but it doesn't work. Hopefully we will be able to get it working by winter time.

This is the kitchen

This is the dining room. I love how open and bright the room is with all of the windows!

This is one side of the living room.

This is the other side of the living room with Blake watching a Jazz game.

As you can see we are all settled in and I am so glad. Hopefully we won't move for a few years...

The New House

We finally moved in this last Saturday and I am so glad it's over. I hate moving! We got all unpacked on Saturday afternoon, turned in our key to our old apartment and then Blakes parents took us out to eat. When we got back we were so tired to do anything so then we just relaxed the rest of the night. The next day we went to our old ward because I was asked to sing in church about a month ago before I knew that we were moving and Blake was asked to say the opening prayer. After that, we went to our new ward and we only stayed for sacrament meeting becuase we wanted to finish unpacking and my sister-in-law Angie invited us over for dinner. We finished unpacking everything that afternoon and then had amazing hamburgers and fries. Came back home cleaned the house up a bit and then relaxed the rest of the night. It feels so good to finally feel like I'm at home and not living out of a box (that's what it's been feeling like for the past month). I will try to take some pictures and post them on here so you all can see what the house looks like inside!

I have been really bored with my hair style lately and I asked my teacher last week what I should do to my hair. She came up with the idea to give me a straight bang. I thought about it all weekend and today I was just getting my hair styled and on impulse I said "lets cut my bangs!" So I did, and this was the outcome. I love it! It took a few hours to get used to it but I still like it. Now I have to learn how to style my bangs in a different way so that they don't poof up from my cowlick. What do you all think?


This picture was right after I cut them.

This is after I came home from school. I didn't tell Blake that I was doing it, I just walked in the door and he gave me a big smile!!! He thinks it's beautiful! This is the picture that he took of me because he loves it so much!

So I am finally able to get a picture of the house that we are moving too. We are moving in April 18th, but they said that we could start bringing our boxes this weekend. So we will get a key on Sunday night and so then we can start showing it off to people!


This is the side of the house and the driveway. If you look at the back, you can see the red shed in the back, it can be used as a garage if we want to.

This is the other side of the house. You can't really see the garden spot because of the snow but it is over by the white fence. I love how big the yard is!

And this is the house. It's cute and the perfect size. The cealing looks pretty bad but they said that they are going to re shingle the roof this summer. I'm so excited to move in!

We're Moving!

Quite a bit has happened in the last couple of weeks. So last night my sister-in-law Angie was telling us about this house that is for rent in Palmyra. We looked into it last year but were turned down because there was someone else that was interested in it sooner. Anyway, they are moving out now and it is available and they said that we could live in it! It is $550 a month, and it has a huge yard and huge vegetable garden, 2 bed 1 bath, living room and family room, cute kitchen, and a nook. We will probably move in around the middle of april. We were not even looking for a place to live and then this fell right into our laps and our contract ends in April so that works out great! They were actually thinking about calling us to offer the house to us but said that they didn't dare because they rejected us last year. They also said that they regret not having us live there last year because the people didn't even mow the lawn and were not very friendly with the neighbors. So those are the two requirements that we have to have. I'm so excited that I can't stop talking about it. I tried to get a picture of it but it won't work for some reason. So when I have a chance I will take a picture of it with my camera.

The other thing that is exciting is that we are having stake conference on Sunday and Elder Holland is speaking! I'm really excited about that too!
