A little extreme or extremely little?!?!

Kenny started one of his last semesters of school at Utah Valley University this last week. He is majoring in Public Relations and Information Systems and Technologies (a double major, WAHOO!) with a minor in Spanish. He is my little computer nerd. I would not have him any other way!

It was his first semester at UVU. I felt like a mother taking my child to their first day of school. I was worried for him. I made sure he had everything he needed. I made his schedule, I printed off a map of campus, and gave him specific directions on where to park, how to walk to class, and where the bookstore was, etc. Was it a little extreme?!?! That is debatable. I just like to think of it as preparing myself for when I have children and I send them off to school. It may be a little more extreme or an extremely little different experience. We will just have to wait and see...

I just did not want him getting lost or to be late! He is so good to me. He just let me do my thing. I am just trying to be a good wife and fulfill my duties. So far so good! He is enjoying his classes and is doing very well. I guess sometimes I worry a little too much. I am so proud of him and I am so grateful that he is in my life.

Love is in the air!

I have not always like the Valentine's Day Holiday.
I would only celebrate it for my mother.
February 14th is her birthday!
There's a cute story to go along with it...
That's for later though!

Since it was our first Valentine's as a married couple, Kenny wanted to make it special.
We have this really good friend who is a professional gourmet chef. He offered to make a 4-course meal for FREE to help us celebrate our first Valentine's day together.
(Thanks Josh, you are superb!)

Love was in the air!


The first course was soup (can't remember what kind).
The second course was a spinach, mandarin salad!
I forgot to take pictures of that one!

The third course was spinach alfredo with fettuccine, chicken and some toasted garlic bread...


It was FABULOUS!!!


and last but DEFINITELY not least, the fourth course was Cheesecake!


Cheesecake is my favorite!


Love was in the air!


It was a great first Valentine's Day!
I think I will celebrate Valentine's Day every year,
and not just for my mom's birthday
but for the holiday itself!

Our First Christmas!

The whole month of December was very busy and crazy for us. We had the wedding, the honeymoon, the open house and then, of course, Christmas. We wanted to relax and take it easy around Christmas so we just spent the day with my parents and my brother Landon and his family. It was a wonderful day! It is always fun when little kids are around.

We got 'Kodak' a BYU dog shirt (so he can fit in during football season) and a toy for Christmas...

We love spoiling all of my siblings children.

Every year we do secret santa. This year we decided to do couples. My sister and her husband had us. They got us a warm blanket and a cute little car ornament that says 'Just married' on the window...


Kenny and I have a Wii. Everytime the family gets together we play it. It is kind of like a family tradition now. We have lots of fun! For Christmas, I surprised Kenny and got him Guitar Hero World Tour (its like Rock Band, just Guitar Hero style). He was quite surprised. It is a good family game.


Overall, we had a great Christmas. We love spending time with our family and spending time with eachother.
