What we've been up to

Long time no post not much has happened other than we're in Rexburg trying to enjoy the cold and the wonderful studying that comes along with going to school. Here's a few of my favorite pictures from leaving Pasco, our journey to Rexburg and some of what we've been doing since we've been here.

Leaving our lovely home in Pasco... we really miss it, but love our new place too.


On our way to Rexburg we stayed in Boise at Devins aunt and uncles and we went to church on Sunday but Devin forgot to put his dress shoes in the car and all he had were his work boots. So, we waited till sacrament was starting, snuck into the back and left during the closing hymn. It was pretty hillarious


First Day of school


Skating on the outdoor rink. We were the only ones there, which is the best.

Candace and Cody came up a while ago and stayed with us over the weekend. We had a lot of fun.

For Valentines Day we went out to Olive Garden, well we went the night before because we knew it would be crazy on Valentines. On the actual Valentines day we had a couple from the ward over and we made homemade pizzas and played some games. Unfortunately we didn't take any pictures. Other than that not too much is going on here, just trying to keep up with all the homework and tests.

Uncontrollable Giggles

Tonight, as Devin and I were having our family scripture study he kept correcting me saying I said the wrong word. I kept refusing saying, "thats what I said," and he would once again correct me. Finally, he burst out laughing because I really was saying the right words and he was just correcting me to make me think I was going crazy. After this our laughs and giggles were uncontrollable, which made for a very interesting prayer(which of course I was asked to give).

Wedding Pictures

We finally have our wedding pictures after five months of putting it off.If I could i would put up all 400 pictures but I doubt anyone wants to see that many pictures. So, here's a few of my favorites.





We are also back in Rexburg going to school and enjoying our new apartment(keep posted for some pictures).

Let it snow! Let it snow! Let it snow!

We woke up to a wonderful surprise this morning, an 1/8" of snow. Anyone who has lived in the Tri-Cities their whole life finds this exciting. Probably because that usually meant school was either delayed or cancelled. I dared Devin to run around our house barefoot and he said, "ok, but only if you do it with me." I agreed(i was even the first one out the door).

This is proof that we did it barefoot!(and that bigfoot knocked on our door this morning in his basketball shorts)

Don't you love how we still have our pumpkin on our porch...we really like Halloween.


We are looking forward to the many cold days in Rexburg.

Life on the farm

About a month ago we left to Spokane for a couple of days, we came back to a car full of mice that we left back home. Here are a couple of pictures showing the damage (to fully appreciate the destruction, you would have to have been there).

The white blob in the back of the trunk is a mouse nest made of an entire toilet paper roll that they got from the cab of the car and also some of Devin's shop towels. It was about a foot wide and a foot long in size.

We took everything out of the car and Devin set six traps, one in the hood of the car, one in the trunk of the car, and four in the cab. We left for a couple of hours to go into town and when we came back all of the cheese was eaten off of the traps and none of them had been set off.

So we got this...

Her name is killer and she has been doing a fantastic job of keeping those mice in their rightful state...dead.

It has been a while since my last post but life has been very busy. We are now married as of August 12th and are enjoying the married life(hopefully i'll have some pictures soon)!! For our Honeymoon we went to the Cameo Heights Mansion in Touchet and had a blast, it was very relaxing and alot of fun. After all of the wedding festivities we went to work on our home for the next few months which is a little farm house that is on one of my dads farms. When we (well devin) first started working on it all there was was tile and a shower along with a toilet and a roll of carpet sitting in the bedroom. Well with a little TLC we've turned into a cozy little home for ourselves and the mice that enjoy our cars, apples and mouse bait, but thats a post for another day! Devin has been working for my Dad on the farm as the exterminator killing the gophers(he really loves his job;)) and I have been working @ Angus Square Dental as a hygiene assistant. Life is great and we are looking forward to going back to school @ Byu-I in January... well that is if we can find housing, I have spent the past 2 days looking and calling every complex in rexburg and everyone is booked and has mile long waiting lists. So if anyone knows of anything that doesn't cost an arm and a leg let us know.... or else we will be living in a box(which we might end up in anyways by the looks of prices on apts. these days). Well I have lots of stuff to write about and lots of pics to post so hopefully it doesn't take me another 4 months to do so.

The Proposal

So, I know this happened about 3 months ago but I thought it would make a good post. In April Devin and I were home for spring break and on the 11th (the day after we got home) Devin gave me a call... well about 10 calls trying to get a hold of me but i was out working in the yard with the family so we didn't hear the phone. Finally, after someone decided to go hide out in the house away from all the work( janae) Devin got a hold of me and asked me if i wanted to go with him to his grandmas house to help her with a few things. I said yes and went inside to make myself look somewhat decent from being all dirty and sweaty from pulling weeds but i didn't have much time since Devin said he was only a couple minutes away. We got into the car and drove to his grandmas house and he told me she might not be there because she had to go to the church to get something... we knocked.. and she wasn't there.. so we went for a walk up the hill. We walked through the orchard an up to the canyon that over looks the river, its so beautiful up there. I gave Devin a hug and since im so short(actually i like to look at it as he's so tall) my head was right at his chest and i could hear is heart beating very hard, now i look back and realize how dumb I am because i thought he was just tired from walking up the hill, haha. We stood there for a while, i was standing in front of him looking out at the view and he stepped in front of me and.... well i dont really remember exactly what he said because I was in such shock but he got down on one knee and asked me to marry him! I told him, "get up, get up" and then I told him yes! Then he told me his grandma was out of town, i should of known that since his cousin Tyler was getting married that day in Utah....I'm so gullible. Anyways, we walked down the hill and went into his grandmas house while i expressed how surprised and shocked i was and Devin told me about his terrifying interview he had with my dad that morning. Thats probably the long version of the proposal so sorry for such the long post. Enjoy the pics!!
