Fabulous 1st YEAR!!!!

Wow its been long enough i think! trying to catch up and think about everything that we have done in the past year is crazy and so much fun!! we have been having a blast being married and are staying very busy!! work work work and a lot of play. we love our vacations and our time together so we definitely make sure we have time to do plenty of that. We have been married now 1yr and almost 2 months!!!! crazy how the time flies. No it was not the hardest year i hate when people say that and YES we still love each other dearly, more than i could ever imagine loving someone. We have grown up so much in the past year and learned a lot about each other i LOVE it! So lets see this year we were able to do many things.... lets start right after we got married we were able to enjoy an awesome honeymoon to the Caribbean! it was fabulous a perfect place for a honeymoon! 

Also 2 days prior to getting married we were able to close on our first home! nothing like last second but we were able to close and move in right after we got home from our honeymoon so it was perfect! Its a duplex so we live in one side and rent out the other! it works just fabulous and our tenants are very very nice! we love it and its keeping Scottie plenty busy:)

June after being married 2 months we were able to go to a convention for Scottie's work when he was working for his dad. we spent the weekend in Portland all expense paid and had a blast.( well at least i did i spent the weekend watching shows, reading, shopping, and working out haha Scottie was in meetings all day so we had fun together at night) We were also able to go to a Jason Aldean concert it was soooo fun!!Of course there was hoopfest at the end of June which is something that Scottie looks forward to every year and boy was i excited to finally get to see him play!! nothing is hotter than your man in gym shorts shootin some ball!! i love it and he looked great doin it:) they may or may not have won any games but they had a good time and it was so fun getting to watch all the center court games when their games were over!

 Then in July Scottie's family had a family reunion at the Oregon coast it was a blast. i got to meet the rest of his extended family we stayed in a ginormous beach house with like a million rooms, game rooms, theater room, library it was huge and so much fun hanging out with everyone!

 Then in August we were able to spend the week up at Priest Lake which is GORG!!! i had never been up there and i would have to say it is an unbelievable place to stay. We had our own private beach and of course our tiny 2 man tent that we love it stays so nice and warm. We just relaxed, hiked, jet skied, boated, wake boarded, wake surfed, suntanned (a lot!!), campfired, ate great food and had a great time with great people! definitely a trip we look forward to taking year after year!!

 October we took a trip down to Utah to go to a Primerica convention it was amazing to see all the successful people and get some great training from the people we want to mirror our business after! We have a great team and are so excited to do great things and help a lot of families:)

This year we decided it was Scottie's year to spend Thanksgiving with his family down in Tri-cities since he had not been down there for the holidays since before his mission! Usually we don't have to even choose where to go because our families live so close to one another but they always go down to Tri-cities for Thanksgiving. That was so fun! I love Scottie's family they are so funny and i really enjoy being around them! December was wonderful as always! I love love love Christmas time and can't wait to make a lot of money so i can just give things to everyone and every charity i want!! This year we were able to sponsor a family of 4 all of which have special needs and are being raised by a very giving and selfless single dad. We were able to get them everything that they needed and wanted on their list and that was the most rewarding experience!! I know that family will never get to meet us and we were unable to meet them but that brought the Christmas spirit into our home more than ever and I cannot wait to do it year after year!!! We spent Christmas Eve with the Williams and then spent the night at my parents and had a huge slumber party with all my siblings that night it was great getting to wake up to all the excitement since i still have younger siblings that was great!!

New Years Eve was super fun hanging out with a bunch of people i haven't seen in a really long time and some of our really close friends its always so fun ringing in the new year and someday i will make it to time square in person to watch the ball drop!!!!

 I have been so busy with work picking up and having record months month after month! I love what i do and i love all my clients. I am so blessed to be able to have a wonderful job that i enjoy and want to do as long as i can still move my fingers haha. Scottie is staying busy always finding a new project to be done and working away!! we just planted new grass from scratch and its starting to sprout its so exciting!! we also just ripped out our bathroom and Scottie is redoing that from the ground up. it is going to look so so good! he is so talented! To wrap up our one year being married we were able to take another cruise! this time to mexico and it was so so so sooooo flippin fun! we were able to go with our long lost friends that we hung out with a ton in Utah Sarah and Jerry! it was a blast going with friends and spending 10 days in the 90 degree weather with my babe!!! we look forward to going on more of those as well. cruising is the way to go and we are hooked! already looking for deals for next April 23rd:)
