First Christmas as Hubby and Wife..... AWWWWWW

Jarom and I decided that our tradition would be to put up Christmas the day after Thanksgiving. It was such a fun day. And thanks to our mom's and the dollar store, and a free tree we were able to make our home for very Christmasy. Now I don't take pictures well so these decorations may look a little ghetto, but I promise they are cute!!! :)
Jarom did a great job putting the lights on the house!

Our first tree together!!!! Jarom decorated most of it, with his mom helping with Festival of Trees while he was growing up I think he has learned a few things about decorating a tree!

Me wrapping present, I don't look great.. It was late but I was so excited for Christmas I wanted to start as soon as possible!

Thanksgiving with the Taylors was a blast. It was my first Thanksgiving away from home. Don't worry I cried Wednesday night.. Great times!!!! anyways food was great, company was even better, and than we had fun times playing games. Thanks Grandma and Grandpa Taylor for hosting Thanksgiving this year!

Happy Birthday Jarom!!!!! the big 28

Beware... Below you will see some crazy pictures. My husband makes some of the weirdest faces. He is just being silly, he really isn't crazy and he really wasn't upset about turning 28. This was the first birthday for him while we have been married. He doesn't really like surprises. So the morning of November 25th (ya this post is way late) I got up early and taped that sign up that said Happy Birthday and than gave him a card. That night we had a family party with cake, ice-cream, and presents. Happy Birthday honey, I still can't believe you are 28, my oldest sister isn't even that old! :) crazy! I love you so so much!

Guests: Jarom's grandparents!

Guests: Jaroms Aunt Kim, Uncle Mike, and their kids. They were here for Thanksgiving so it was a nice treat to have them here for his birthday too.

Love you Birthday BOY!!!! (wow I have turned into one of those wives.... funny)

Crazy pictures I was talking about!!!! He makes me laugh.

THE cake, and I mean THE cake. Jarom asks for this cake every year. This year was no different, and also his mom has to make it. I offered to get the recipe from her and make it, but he said it had to be her. I don't blame him... :)

Twilight Weekend

With just the girls on the Lewis side of the family we all went to Twilight. It was so much fun. Jarom and I drove up Friday night. He spent the whole weekend with cousins and I spent the whole weekend with the girls in my family. So much fun! I did miss him, but it was still a blast :)!!!!

All of us girls at lunch! It was so great to get to see all my cousins, aunts, grandma, and mom and sisters. It was so much fun!

My brother and my dad got the lucky job of taking care of the kids while we were gone watching the movie. Thanks guys for letting Tiff and Heather come kid free!

Friday night my mom, Heather, and me spent the night at Mike and Tiffs house... Slumber party's are great!!!! On Friday night my aunt and cousins came and visited us, well actually they wanted to see Mike and Tiff's house and Maddie, Chloe, Mckenzie and Brody! I don't blame them, they are so darn cute best nieces and nephew ever.

Sisters!!!!

Anne and baby Chloe!

Re Doing the Shower AGAIN!!!!

In our Master Bathroom we had to redo the tile in the shower, for the SECOND time.. The grout was bad from the first time we tiled. As you can tell Jarom did all the work. He's Dad helped a lot too. Thanks guys!!!!

Food for thought!

Alright well I have a million things to blog about: we tiled our shower, twilight movie, jarom's birthday, Thanksgiving, and Christmas decorations. But the pictures aren't downloaded onto the computer yet, and I don't like posting without pictures.. But this time i'm going to! :)

So I have almost been married 10 months!!! and I have gained, well i have gained pounds and I need to get my butt in gear... So Jarom and me have started walking together, it's kind of a hit and miss thing, but we are trying. Well Jarom worked late tonight so I went on our walk and I decided to run some of it. P.S. it takes me about forever to work up to running a full mile.. no judgement please!!!! anyways our walk takes us passed the St. George temple. I was running past it today, and I was thinking in my head how beautiful it was.. Than I ended my run/walk :) on the other side of the temple and I turned around and looked up at the view of the temple and I just felt so happy and peaceful inside like I could do anything. It was pretty awesome,,, (I'm hoping if I post this story I will fill like I need to workout more so people can see results!!!) and than as I was walking home I was thinking in my head I should blog about this.. and I got to thinking how funny it was that I was thinking about what I was going to say when I blogged about it... Than I laughed again because sometimes I take pictures of things just to blog about them.. I love blogging, it's so great.


Please don't think I'm lame for posting this!!! ;)

Weekend Visit

My mom and my brother Jacob came to visit!!! When my mom comes we have to go to In and Out.. LOVE IT!!! and Golden Spoon. Love it even more. I love my family so darn much. I'm glad they came down to play. It was great to hang out with my mom. On Saturday afternoon it was just the two of us and we headed over to Santa Clara, we went to a market that had lots of fresh veggies and than we headed over to a yummy bakery, and last we ended up at a little boutique!!! (sp) Loved it all. Thanks Jarom for taking care of the car and house so I could go play with my mom! AND.. family can't wait to see you for the Twilight Saturday of fun next weekend!!!

Voting

Ya, I'm pretty sure I look like a freak in this pretty, but I love voting day!!! My first voting day experience was with my good friend Corinne and my mom. We took the day off, voted, had lunch, and went shopping. Love it.. This voting day Jarom and me just went out to lunch. But it was still fun cause it was another first for us!!! Yay for voting!!

P.S. i know this entry is late and all, but still! :)

1st HALLOWEEN

One thing.. not sure why this is blue and why it is underlined.. stupid.. anyways.. and i'm pretty sure i'm always late on blogging things, but better late than never right. Last Halloween I was up in SLC and Jarom was in St. George so this was a fun year for us. As for Halloween night we just stayed in watched a movie and passed out candy.. oh wait i'm pretty sure there were like 3 kids that came. Great now I have this candy. oh well. but the night before we got together with Jarom's family to carve pumpkins!!! Thanks Taylor family for joining in on the fun with us!

Jarom and me had to take a break when the office came on.. Priorities!!! ;)

Newlyweds for sure!!!!

Yes, Jarom and I celebrated our 8 month anniversary. I know so lame, but so freakin fun! He got me flowers and I got him he's favorite pie! Loved it! And I love him, we have so much fun together. Thanks for the flowers babe, I love them and I love you!

Happy 8th month!

Conference weekend fun

Moving time with Michael and Tiffany. The tuesday before conference weekend Jarom and I drove up to SLC. Wednesday we flew to Seattle. We get to Seattle and Michael drives us downtown to look at Pikes Place Farmers Market, love it, mind you we stayed in the car the whole time!!! so funny. Than we headed off to work. Well Jarom and Michael worked! They loaded Michael's office truck. After a stop at Tiff's sisters on Thursday night, we arrived in provo Friday night. I had the job of helping Tiff with the girls. Man I love those girls. Anyways it was a long week, but fun! Mike and Tiff may not ask us to help again, Jarom and I tend to get ornery sometimes :) good times, funny now, but not than! Well I hope that we were able to help them out, they sure took care of us. Thanks guys for all the food and everything else. We love you and we are glad you are closer to us now!

They had to pack this up in the truck, this belongs to Michael's boss.
This is the truck Jarom drove, Michael had to drive one like it too. They had walkie talkies so I think they were able to entertain themselves during the long drive. :)

We gave Birth to TWINS!!!!

I must have fooled all of you, right??? We so didn't give birth to twins, and to be honest I'm okay if I don't ever! Anyways I thought this was fun so I decided to blog about it! Here you see 4 eggs, but I only used two actual egg shells. Amazing, maybe this happens all the time, but i'm not really a girl that cooks a lot so I thought this was pretty cool!

Just the two of us!

First camping trip with just Jarom and Me!!! Way, way way fun! I love hanging out with my hubby. Everything was so pretty up at the Property. (this is his parents property up above fairview) We played games, we slept, we cleared a path that was full of stinging neddle, ouch.. we just sat by the fire and were just lazy. I loved it!

Evidence of me being lazy by the fire!
Can anyone say beautiful!!!!
silly picture!

Man I love this man so darn much. It is so awesome when you get to hang out with your best friend all the time.
