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!

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!!! ;)
