Merry Christmas!

Sorry it's been awhile since I have blogged. We didn't have the internet and we still don't. We just moved to St. George and are now heading to PA to be with Braeden's family for Christmas. Hope everyone has a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! I will try and do better about blogging next year!

Here we come St George!

Braeden and I found out yesterday that we both have been accepted into the nursing program at Dixie! I have been so nervous to get our letters, but no worries we are in! I can finally see an end to my education! We start school on January 5th so we will be packing up and moving again probably before Christmas. I am just so excited!

The house

So this is the house we are renting. It is so nice to have our own place. I wish we had the money to buy a house, but we probably wont be in one place long enough to have buy a house.

This is the front living room with nothing in it.

Our TV room

This was my picture frame collage I have been working on. I saw this in a magazine one time and you just put scrapbook paper or wall paper in the frames. I think it turned out pretty cute.

The kitchen

This is our walk in closet and master bathroom

These are the other two rooms and another bathroom. One of the rooms I use as my craft room. It's nice to have a place I can put all my craft crap. I had a picture of our bedroom but it wouldn't upload for some reason. There is also another bathroom, washer and dryer room and a full basement that isn't finished. I don't know how we are going to move into an apartment in a couple of months. I just love having all the space! Sorry it took so long!

Pictures are coming soon!

Pictures are coming soon of our house. The problem is we don't have the internet so we have to go to the public library. It sucks. We are doing good though and having fun living in Utah. We finished our CNA program in 3 weeks and we are now looking for jobs. So stay tuned and I will upload some photos soon.

Not homeless anymore!

We finally found some where to live. We did had a place, but the guy gave it to someone else and we were waiting on this other place for 2 1/2 weeks. So we moved down to utah not having a place. That was very stressful, but we have just been living at my grandparents for the week and going to school. I am glad we didn't get that apartment cause we got a sweet place and a good deal too! I am super excited. It's a three bedroom house, only a couple years old. I'll post some pictures when we move in!

Guitar Lessons

Not to many people know that Braeden plays the guitar. He is quite good. He needs to play more though! He got out Megan's guitar and started teaching my cousin Taylore. It was cute so I took a picture.

Megan your guitar lessons are next!

Cameron and Cassidy's Wedding

This past weekend we went to Utah for Braeden's brothers wedding. What a wonderful sealing and reception. We had a lot of fun. We haven't seen Braeden's family for a year and we were missing them so much. It was fun to get to know more of his family. We had a family reunion on the Keil side last year where I got to know his family on that side and now this weekend I got to know his family on the Cook side. That was fun. Hope we can move to St. George soon then we will have lots of fun! Cameron and Cassidy are so good together. We are so happy for them! Congrats!

Not a lot has been going on. Just trying to pack up and get cleaning. We did find a place to move into so that is good! We just don't know exactly when we can move into the place yet. Braeden just has been working on the grounds on campus and I have been at home trying to get stuff done. We are in the process of filling out applications for nursing. Man it's stressful! Just wish us luck. I did get my hair cut yesterday! I was scared to cut it the way I did, but I'm glad I did cause I like it! I got some new shoes too. If anyone is looking for the most comfortable shoes ever you should get a pair on Sanuk shoes. They feel like your wearing sandals. I love them. I just love shoes :) We probably wont be posting a lot this fall. We aren't going to have the internet which really stinks, but I will try to post.

Summer Semester is Over!!

It was a very busy week for the both of us. For some reason more busy for me which does not make sense cause I was a part time student and braeden was a full time student. How does that work out? I am just glad it's over! It is kind of starting to hit me that we are moving in a few weeks and we are not coming back. We have both been here for 4 years and it is time to move on, but I will miss Rexburg. Braeden's brother came into town and we are playing mom and dad. We got him all checked in for freshman academy and took him grocery shopping and got him all settled in. It is good to see some of braeden's family, it has been awhile. His other brother is coming here in the fall too. Right when we are about to move his family comes to school here. It sure would have been nice to have family around! We did have family around, but they graduated and moved away to wa. Well all I can say right now is that...

FINALS ARE OVER!! yeah!

The end

The Fourth of July

I love the fourth of July. I love parades and fire works and the whole shabang. We made a big delicious breakfast!

Yum yum

The parade from our living room window. Best seats.

Camping at Wade Lake

We haven't been camping in awhile so we decided to go last weekend, before things start getting busy with school ending. We had a great time and it was such a beautiful lake! We were right outside of Yellow Stone. We went with a couple of our neighbors. We did however get a flat tire right when we pulled in our camping spot. That was not fun, but good thing there was a spare tire. No mosquitoes either is was great!

Me and Brittany. We used to be roommates and now we are neighbors, it's fun!

We could not figure out how to set this tent up. The instructions were to hard to follow.

It was to cold to get in.

Sorry it's been awhile!

Braeden's birthday was last week. He is 24 now! He had to celebrate his birthday by himself because I went home to Washington! I miss that place and the smell of the ocean! My best friend got married and I got to see my family. It was a short trip, but it was fun. We have been very busy with school and we are in the process of applying to nursing programs and looking for somewhere to live in the fall.



Brooke's wedding. She was a beautiful bride!!


We have known each other since we were 5 and I am so glad she has found
someone to make her so happy!

My New Hobby

It has been a while since I have blogged. I've been busy and I just don't know what to blog about. Nothing is really going on right now! My friend taught me how to do embroidery. So that has been fun. I have done 4 projects so far and it is very easy! You just have to have the patience. Here are two of my projects I've done.

Semester Break

Over the semester break we went on a road trip. It was a lot of fun. My cousin got blessed, so we went to her blessing. We also went down to St. George and visited Braeden's brother. We also checked out Dixie's campus. We hope to be moving down their and going to school there soon. Then we drove down to Las Vegas to visit some friends. It was good to see them. After a few days we made our way back up to New harmony and had lots of fun there. Went four wheeling, swimming, hot tubbing and just relaxed. We went back to my grandma's and I went to Brooke's bridal shower. I am so excited for you Brooke! Then we had to come back to school where it was nice and cold!

This is my cousin Taylore with one of the six puppies. We wanted to get one so bad!

My sister came down to hang out with us. That was fun.

We went to Zion's national Park and it was so beautiful!

My best friend Brooke is getting married in June, and I was able to go to her bridal shower!
It was a fun vacation and it was so nice to relax and get out of Rexburg.
