Watch your step!!

WARNING! Beware of step stools.
Tonight I tripped over one of these bad boys in the library. I'm not sure how it got to the side of my chair when I stood up to walk away but I stumbled right over it and got a good bruise on my knee. As I laid there thinking whether I should laugh or cry I looked up to see a few people smiling and trying to hold back their laughs, including Devin. I limped away and once we got out of the 'quiet area' Devin exclaimed how hilarious it was and how fast I hit the ground. Well, all I have to say is 1.) my knee hurts 2.) that makes the top 5 of my most embarrassing moments and 3.) I'm going to walk around the library staring at the floor from now on.

Silly Girls' Photo Shoot

A couple weeks ago two girls from my ward had a silly girl photo shoot. Our theme was a tea party, and I had so much fun going to the DI and picking out an outfit. Megan and Laura are amazing and so talented. To see some of Megan's work go here, she is very creative and so much fun. Here's a few of my favorites... Megan has more on her blog if you want to see some more.

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.
