first year of marriage

Soooo since Andrew and I have been married there have been a few adventures mixed in with the seriousness of school. For Thanksgiving 2008 we made our way with Dan and Brittany down to Phoenix, Arizona passing through Las Vegas and saw one of the great wonders of the United States. They were the best dam pictures we ever took, Hoover that is. Once we got to Arizona we relaxed with my family and with Bob and Diana who were able to meet us down there for Thanksgiving. We were there in time to see the christmas lights come on at the Mesa Temple and that was an amazing experience. to Oregon for the christmas vacation and built the most perfect snowman out of 4 inches of snow that you will ever see! I was also able to try out my new snowboard on our hill with the help of Andrew. Back in Idaho we decided to make the most of the massive amounts of snow that Rexburg dropped on us. We went snowboarding every few weeks and Andrew is very patient with teaching me, believe it or not I am improving. We also went snowshoeing up near Yellowstone, we both had a blast on that first time experience. Andrew was on a basketball team, he really enjoyed getting back into the sport scene. After the semester we headed back to Oregon and have been able to go hiking Multnomah Falls and take a kayaking trip down the Tualatin River (don't worry, we didn't touch the water). We went to Multnomah Falls, and went on a hike around Mt. St. Helens with Jason, my dad, and Andrew.




School

Andrew and I are currently going to college at Brigham Young University - Idaho. I have one more semester of school and will be graduating in December with a degree in Exercise and Sports Science, and no i don't know what i want to do with that degree. My main goal is to get a degree and to eventually be a mom. Andrew is going to school and is majoring in Accounting and is pluggin away at those numbers. He has a few more semesters, so for all i know we can be living in Rexburg, Idaho for another 3 years! When we go back to school in September we will be moving into a brand new apartment and we're both very excited to be in a place long enough to make it a home for the next year or so until it is time for him to get an internship.
