Long Time, No See

Wow. Can you say LAME-O?? Cause that's what I thought about the person who has neglected to update her blog since SEPTEMBER!

Oh wait......

That person was ME!

Oops! :)

Well, here's just a quick update about what the last several months have been for me:

OCTOBER


CW and I went to a Nerd Theme Halloween party, which was a lot of fun!

NOVEMBER


We went on our "Second First Date". CW and I went on our first date November 5, 2009. Crazy, huh!

We also went to CW's parent's home for Thanksgiving. I had the opportunity to cut down my very first Christmas Tree and we had awesome food! :) Lots of fun,

DECEMBER


We spent half of Christmas at CW's parents house (which included opening presents and an awesome Nerf War) and the other house at my parents house. (Yes, we flew from Colorado to Arizona on Christmas Day.)

For Christmas, my parents bought all of the adults tickets to go to Disneyland! It was so much fun. I've never been over Christmas before, so it was really cool. Super busy though. :\

Here's some pictures from Disneyland:


Me, CW, my sister Kaylee, and my Brother-in-Law Jeremy after going on Splash Mountain. Yes, we were aware that it was December. :) Much more fun.


CW, me, Seth (Jaimee's then Boyfriend), and my sister Jaime on the Matterhorn. Such a rough ride, but a ton of fun.


Just CW and I. :)

JANUARY:

We did many things like go on a hike, play around, have fun! Nothing too special.

FEBRUARY:

Valentine's Day! CW was very sweet. He bought me a flower and we went to the Planetarium and played around.

It also snowed a TON! So,we decided to try and enjoy it while it lasted. (Unfortunately, it lasted much longer than I had hoped for.)


Us sledding in the snow. It was fun, but cold!

Jaimee (my sister) also got engaged in February to Seth Carpenter! My family was all so excited! We love Seth. :) I had the opportunity to go down to AZ for my sister's Bridal Shower.


Jaimee at her Bridal Shower. I was kind enough to make sure she got to wear a sash and tiara with a veil on the back of it! haha. :)

MARCH:

Jaimee's wedding! CW and I drove down to AZ to see their marriage. It was a beautiful ceremony for a beautiful couple! I love them both! They're so awesome!


Jaimee and Seth in front of the Mesa Temple on their Wedding Day. Absolutely breath-taking.

I also got my hair cut this month! Most people have seen it now, but in case you haven't:


BEFORE


AFTER

I love the short hair! It's so cool and refreshing. I honestly don't remember how I survived those hot Arizona Summers with my long thick hair before! I'm so grateful that I can pretty much pull off any hair cut that I want to! hahaha.

APRIL:

Well, this month started off amazing with my and CW's one year anniversary! I can't believe it's been over a year already! AMAZING! We've had so much fun and so many adventures in the past year. I can honestly say I'm truly excited for another year (Just hopefully it won't be AS intense as last year! haha)

For our anniversary, we built a fort in our home and watched Tangled. (One of my new favorite Princess movies EVER! In fact, I'm watching it now while I blog and scrapbook! haha)

We also went for a "hike" in the mountains. It was super deep with snow, so it was more just walking around.


Us on our one year anniversary in the mountains. I'm so glad I'm married to an amazing man!

In April I also GRADUATED! 

Well....sorta.

I walked anyway. I'm still taking a few classes over the summer to finish up all of my credits, but I walked. We had Elder Russel M Nelson as our commencment speaker (which was amazing!) I'm so grateful I stuck it out at the business college. Once the summer is over, I will have a General Studies Associates Degree! Whoo hoo!


On the Temple Grounds after my graduation. My parents came up to see me walk and CW's mom and brother came. It was fun and I'm grateful they could all be there!

We also went to the Red Butte on Arbor Day. It was cold, but really pretty! We had a ton of tun together.

At the Red Butte Garden in front of the thousands of Tulips they have there!

MAY:

And finally, we reach this month! CW and I went on our first hike of the summer. We were supposed to see a waterfall, but we got lost. :( Oh well, that just means we have to go back! haha


Here's us on the hike. It was a beautiful hike, and I'm excited to see it again! (the real part of it! hahaha)

So, that's pretty much it! It's been a fun several months and I'm glad I could spend it with my best friend!
