Pictures of the House!


The Living Room



The Kitchen
I love the kitchen. It is one of my favorite areas in the house. It has knotty alder cabinets with granite counter tops. The appliances are all stainless steel. The oven can go to a conviction oven as well. I have not quite figured out how the thing works yet.


The Dining Room  
This is our new table. The table came with some ugly chairs sow we ordered some other chairs so for now it is camping chairs and a bin for audrey!
Audrey's room. She has more than enough room for her toys. I am excited to decorate her room when I get a job and have some money to do so!

The Computer/guest room
It is really nice having the extra room. We have loved having a room to run away to do some homework and be able to hide from Audrey. She knows when one of us are in the room we are doing school work. 

We love our house. It has ample storage which is something you usually fall short of. We are able to store things below the house. It has a 3 1/2 foot crawl space that is huge. We could never fill that thing up. I forgot to take a picture outside. It is so cold so I will wait until I am going outside and bundled to get a picture.

Happy Anniversary


Dennis and I celebrated our 4 year anniversary on the 14th. I wanted to share my thoughts and feelings about Dennis. I wanted to give the outsider a look in on how blessed I truly am.

 When I look back 5 years ago and not sure if we should get married I have to laugh at myself and think how stupid was I.  I am so grateful for the 4 years we have been married. I have learned so much from you. You are one of the smartest people I know. I am so grateful to have you as my best friend. You truly are my soul mate. I would be so lost with out you in my life.  I am grateful for all the sacrifices you have made for our family. I am thankful for struggles we had these last four years, it has really boughten me closer to you. I hope you realize you are a GREAT dad. Audrey really loves you and is lucky to have such a loving father. You amaze me more and more each day. You are caring, compassionate, loving, understanding, humble, smart, I could go on forever... You are such an example to me. When I am at my ropes end thinking I can not handle one more task in the day you are there for me and Audrey. I am beyond blessed to have you in my life. Thank-you for all the laughs and the tears! I am excited to see what the next four years brings into our lives. 

 I love you Babe

Finally!

I know it has been awhile and I apologize for the wait. We are finally settled into our place. I love it here!!! I love our home. Our house already feels like a home. I will post pictures of our place tomorrow. I have been meaning to take some but I have not gotten around to it yet. Dennis and I switched a few classes around but other than that school is going great. There is a ton of school work to do which is to be expected as a full time student at a university. Dennis has found his way around Rexburg. The first night we got here it was -7 degrees.  It has warmed up alot since then though. We have been getting above freezing every day and the sun has come out which makes it feel warmer. There is a ton of snow on the ground. Lets just say we are both ready for spring. Spring here is like summer at home. So, I can't say I am ready for summer when it gets to 115 degrees. Audrey has adjusted quite well. Though she has no idea how far away she is from home. She keeps asking to play with her cousins or go see her aunts and uncles. I have tried to explain that we have to get on a plane to go home but she honestly has no clue. I am grateful to be here and have this opportunity with Dennis. We see each other ALL the time now. There is such a strong spirit here. It has been fun. I miss all of you and hope to come home in the summer!!
