Playing catch up!

Since Landon and I have moved to Moab our lives have been super busy!!!! Landon drives to Monticello during the week for work. He likes it but we will see when it starts snowing. I work at HMK as a sever special ed TA. And I love it!!!! I've learned so much and getting to sit in classrooms and observe teachers and pick up on techniques I would like to use after I get my Elementary education degree. On top of working full time I am also going to school full time. People ask me how I do it and I honestly have no clue but I love what I do and it makes me want to get done with school sooner!!!!

 

We finally found our own place and have started to move in and its taken a few weeks because Landon and I have such crazy schedules. But I'm happy to finally have our own place!!!! And I'm very grateful for my parents letting us live with them for the past few months but I'm happy that we will have our own place!  

 

I'm excited to see what the future has for us! 

New Beginning!

Landon and I have lived in Richfield for the past two years but that is soon going to change for us. Landon works for a company called Mountainland and they have branches in St. George, Orem, Richfield and Monticello. A couple of weeks ago he was offered to work at the Monticello branch as the assistant manager, be put on salary, get a good percentage of commission of what the store makes and a company vehicle. I am so proud of him because this is what he has been working so hard to do. He has wanted to move up in the company and being 22 years old and being asked to be an assistant manager is a great accomplishment.

 

So we finally came to the decision to accept the job offer!!!!!!! And I am so excited for this new chapter in our lives. We will be moving to Moab August 22. We are both very excited but also nervous to be taking a huge step.

Be sure to stay tuned for the many adventures to come!

Christmas time 2013

Well it's time to play catch up! The whole month of December was a crazy time for Landon and I. I had my finals the second week of December and then we headed off to Cali for Disneyland with my family (the previous post) 

When we got home we then spent two days in Richfield and then were back on the road to go to Ogden for Landon's grandma's Christmas party!! It was great spending time with Landon's parents and all of his family. We spent the night in Layton and then headed back to Richfield for one night and then went to Moab for Christmas.

We spent a week in Moab! It was filled with fun times with my parents, my brother and Shailee (Ronnie's girlfriend), my sister, cousins, my aunt Vanessa and Uncle Jared, my aunt Val, and my grandparents. It was a lot of fun spending time with them and just relaxing. The rest of the week we spent watching Law and Order with my parents (getting them hooked) And spending Jordan's 19th birthday with her! 

But with how fun the month of December was for us it was also super busy and lots of time spent away from home.... I am thankful for all the vacation days Landon had so that we could do all the fun things we did to finish out the year. 

But we were ready to be home and were sick of living out of suit cases and let me tell you the laundry sucked!!! (makes me wonder how bad it will be when we have kids) 

With how crazy December was and how much I just wanted to be home, it made me apprecaite all the people in my life! I have some great parents, siblings and in-laws as well as many great friends!!! I love all of them and am very grateful for everything they do for us all year round!

Here is to a great New Year!! Bring on 2014!

 

Disneyland 2013

December 13-18 we went with my parents and brother to Disneyland. My dad had to go to the National AD conference that was at the Anaheim Convention center while the rest of us got to go play and have fun at Disneyland!!!

It was a lot of fun to take a family vacation to Disneyland especially with me being done with finals and Landon needing a break from work. 

It also happened to be Landon's first time going to Disneyland and I was so excited for his first time to be with me and my family! 

We also got to see my Uncle Perry and his family! It was the first time we met his new baby girl! We had a great time catching up!

It was a great time and we all loved every minute of it. Can't wait to go back!!

Excited for Disneyland 2013

Disneyland family trip 2013 is finally here!! Thank you dad for being an AD and getting to go to National AD conferences every December and you decided to take us along! (: Ahh so excited that we leave this Friday for Las Vegas and then head out to Anaheim Saturday morning!

I am so excited because it's Landon's first time going to Disneyland and I don't think he realizes how much fun it truly is! So I am very excited to see how he reacts to the whole experience because we will be spending three days in Disneyland and California Adventures and of course the beach!!!

The last time I went to Disneyland was almost three years ago! It was my first year of college and it had been the first time since I was a little girl. It was a total blast! And we went with my Uncle Rob and Aunt Traci's family as well as my Grandma Dolphin and Ana and my Aunt Vanessa and Uncle Jared and of course all my family except my dad because he went to Missouri with my Grandpa Donnie. 

Newport Beach

Except this time it is just my parents, Ronnie, Lando and I. Jordan doesn't get to come because she has to work and it won't be the same without because she is one of my best friends even though we have a hard time getting along now.

And with how cold it has been I can't wait to be where it is high 70s!!! And it is a very much needed vacation for Landon and I. Work has been stressful for him and I am just finishing up finals this week. Friday can not come soon enough!!!!!

One Year Anniversary!

 

 

Yesterday Landon and I celebrated our first year anniversary!!

 

 

I can't believe that it's been a year! It seems like only yesterday that we met at Snow.

 

 

I've loved the past year getting to know Landon even more and finding out that it is possible to love someone more and more everyday! I couldn't imagine my life without him because he has taught me how to love myself and that I am worth something..

 

 

 

He is the best guy for me because he always kisses me goodbye, tells me he loves me everyday, and is constantly reminding me that I am beautiful... but most importantly always opening the door anywhere we go :)

 

 

 

So we got to spend our one year with Landon's parents and his brother's family in Cedar City! It was a lot of fun getting to spend time with them.

 

 

We then got back to Richfield long enough to get ready to go reception hopping (; we were really surprised that there were five weddings in the Sevier valley!!!! I guess August 10 is a popular day to get married!! (;

 

 

 

We then decided to go to South China for dinner!! Which is Landon's favorite since he is always down for Chinese (:

 

 

I truly can say I am in love with my best friend!! And that I've never been happier! I really lucked out in finding such a great amazing guy to spend my life with! I love you forever and ever Lando (:

 

Can't wait to see what the future holds for us!

 

 


Landon's favorite treats!!

The places we've been our first year married!!!



Ahh I was so excited to get my first letter from one of my besties this last Saturday! It took over a month to get it!! 

But first a little bit of how we met:

 

Amber and I met our first year of college at Snow!! We sat next to each other in our first semester class which was psychology 1010! We actually didn't talk until we were put together in a group for our final project. We didn't talk much during it since we both were very shy.

 

Spring semester rolled around and we actually ended up having nutrition together (and it wasn't planned) We then became inseparable!  We were together all the time (the library, our apartments, classes, school events, etc.) 

 

Summer rolled around and I thought we would lose touch after moving home but I never thought I would get this close to someone at school. And stay close throughout the summer!

 

The fall came around and we started our second year of school together! We ended up being Start Smart Mentors together (Mentors that helped the first year students get to know each other, the campus and activities better) and we had a blast!! Again we had multiple classes together our second year at school! I wouldn't have made it through our chemistry, zumba, and our aerobics classes without her!! 

 

First Snow College football game!! 2011

Chemistry Lab was our favorite (haha not)

Snow College Football game!!

Chemistry Lab pictures were the best!

Studying at the Library!

 

Amber is currently serving a LDS mission in Argentina!! I was so happy for her that she made the choice to go! But I didn't know what I was going to do without talking to her everyday!!! But I know she is a great missionary and I will see her when she comes back!! Can't wait to get my next letter!!
