The Best Year of My Life!

Whoever said that the first year of marriage is the hardest obviously was not married to the most wonderful man in the who world!  I never dreamed that even through many trials life could continually be this great!  I did a really bad job the first year of keeping up with our blog but here is a recap of the first year of eternity!
We spent the first four months of our marriage living at Destinations Inn.  It was a blast.  We moved weekly from room to room. Pro's four month honey moon, over sized jetted tub, projectors, and no rent Con's no kitchen.  One night I got a phone call at about one in the morning.  It was the police, they were banging on the door trying to get in, our hotel was on fire!  We had to clear out all the rooms... it was so funny as it was one couples honey moon night.  The police pounded on their door yelling IFPD open up.  Can you imagine.  I would be wondering who the heck I had just married and what he had done.  We spent the next six hours in the car singing "we didn't start the fire" as we watched the building next to us burn.  Oh man I love how JD turns everything into a positive experience! 



  Sense we have been married we have gone to two different Jazz games!  One was against my personal favorites, the Suns, and the last was against the Lakers.  Thanks to JD's friend Tyler we were able to sit 8th row for the Lakers Jazz game!  The best part was at half time when JD went on the court, stood right next to Kobe and gave a thumbs down.  First of all he looked tiny next to Kobe and second, I don't think we were supposed to be on the court :) 




I know this is a whole year ago but one of my favorite holidays is Halloween!  We are trying to think of ideas to beat last years!  I did a J in the middle of the superman sign and JD did a wonder-women sign.  We got our costumes at walmart in the little kid section.  I think I spent about five hours trying to lengthen the crotch in Jd's costume, I guess I am not as good of a sower as I thought, finally I made him put on a par of my old cheer shorts and we went to all our friend houses making superman sounds and jumping off tall things!





      Before JD and I started dating, Dallin his little brother was playing my little brother Taylor in basketball.  We made a bet that the loser had to take the winner out to dinner and wear a shirt from the winners school.  Well our first date was JD taking me to dinner but he never wore the Madison shirt.  I guess its okay however because he was one of Taylor's biggest fans the next year wearing a Madison shirt every game. 
      In March we went over and stayed with Zach and Kimbo during Taylor's State Basketball Tournament. After two close games they made it to the championship game.   The entire Idaho Center was filled with red.  We were on the first and second rows.  Taylor opened the game with three quick three's to keep us in the game.  I literally was on the floor screaming I was so excited.  We eventually won by a last second shot.  That was the only time I think I have seen Taylor and my Dad cry happy tears.  It was so cute.  My dad had won the tournament 35 years before and just wanted all Taylors blood sweat and tears to pay off.  It was a perfect way to end five years of Basketball.  We could not have been more proud.   




 JD and I have the same birthday!  He was in charge of the morning and I was in charge of the afternoon.  He made me my favorite Swedish pancakes for breakfast.  Later that afternoon he went on a scavenger hunt to find his presents.  Then we had dinner with both our families.  It was perfect!  Our birthday is June 10th so we get to have a little mini Christmas half way through the year.



 There are the people that Graduated with me in Social Work.  Some of these people became my best friends! 
 JD surprised me and had these announcements made.  I was thrilled what a thoughtful man. 
 I graduated in July and started my Masters in September!  I don't really know what I am going to do in a year without homework in my life.  I have been going to college straight sense the Summer before my Jr. year of high school.  My masters really does just prove that JD is the perfect man.  We're not planning on my working after but he happily makes the payments every month so that my dream can be realized.  I am so grateful for that and I know that one day, we will both be happy that I have so much education. 

 We have gone to Las Vegas twice sense we got married.  Once for my cousins wedding and once by ourselves for our anniversary.  Here are some pic's of both trips. 


 This is the spot at the Las Vegas Temple that JD proposed. 


 This is Fremont  If anyone has not been there please go!  It is so much fun the entire three blocks have a big screen on top of it.  It is the Old Strip. 
 The old cow boy on Fremont.  I remember this from movies. 

 This is the back of Taylor and JD head's!  ha They look so much alike.  I love it
This is the famous Pawn Star Shop from TV.  There was so much cool junk in there.  You had to wait for half and hour to get in and it is so small but it was way worth it.


I think I am finally caught up of the best year of my life.  From now on I will keep up better!
