my turn..

as my cute husband said below.. yes we just celebrated our one year anniversary! crazy right. Of course, I could spend all day talking about how much I love him, and how great he is (because he REAALLY is the best).. but I'll spare you. Instead i just want to share pictures of what we did. oh, it was lovely.

Mathis planned the whole day of things he knew were my favorites..
1st: we went to sonic to get a diet dr. pepper. duh.
2nd: okay this might sound weird, and so not romantic, but we went to kennecott copper mine. YES! I have been talking about going here for years. Throw me in any type of museum and I'm haaappy.



3rd: SUSHI at happy sumo:)
and lastly.. we went and saw a movie i've secretly been dying to see. He really took one for the team on this one..:)) haha poor guy.


what a GREAT day. being married to your best friend is the best!

ONE YEAR- Best I've Ever Had

This is Mathis and yes we have really been struggling with the blog lately but there was a milestone that took place in our lives this last weekend and it was awesome. We made it through that one year mark and we are still together!!! HA-HA... Everyone tells you, that first year is really ruff isn't it? Well all i have to say to them is the last year has been the best year of my life and if this is the hardest year of my marriage I am in for one smooth ride. I owe it all to my sweet heart she is the best wife anyone could ever want and I don't know how i got her but I cant wait to spend eternity with her.

live a little..

do you know what happens in less than 3 weeks? FINALS. Do you know what that means? spring/summer is just around the corner! My spring fever is starting to bubble.. its getting harder and harder to go to school, and all i can think about are our summer plans.

In three weeks we're going to live a little. In three weeks we'll sleep in, ride bikes,walk to the park, lay in the grass, and well.. do anything we please!!

I will be going on a little trip here with my mom and sissies!
In 3 weeks we're going to do things like:

mmmm dontcha LOVE hiking! i will drag that husband of mine up and down any mountain.

Ohhhh my favorite: ok, ok. it may not be on a beach.. But I'll take what i can get.


Isn't summer just the best? Days are always a little sweeter. PLUS! summers=weddings. YES!!

one day

Every once and a while don't we all say something like, "Man, i hope one day they invent that." or "Why hasn't anyone thought of that yet?" Every night I ask myself this exact question.. Why is there not a birth control pill that men can take instead of the girl?? (or do i just not know about it? ha) blaaahhh!! why do i DESPISE taking this little, pink pill so much? I don't know why it's so hard for me- the pill is seriously the size of an ant. (ok a pretty big ant, but still). It takes half a second to swallow then you're done.
        Maybe it's due to the fact that I forget mmm about everyday. Mathis is my reminder. Every night just as I'm almost asleep he kicks me out of bed and makes me take it. I know its completely ridiculous, but it's a true vendetta. All i can hope is that one day they will figure something out where the guy can take the pill. . . .
