Shanes awesome suprise and First day of PA school!

 Here he is everyone!!! the Hottest man alive! and yes i made him take first day of school pictures! he had to remind me he wasnt six anymore! haha. but how could i resist!? he has a new outfit and is looking so cute. he was also pretty nervous too!

 Making his lunch for his first day of school! im such a nerd but it was a proud moment for me! i am so happythat i married someone that works so hard and wants to succeed! he is so smart and deserves the best! yes i am bragging but i am so happy that we have made it so far! He applied to Touro University along with 1,000 other applicants for the PA program. Only Fifty got in and Shane was one of them! That is how awesome he is! it has been so tough since he started. Shane wakes up at six, studies till school at nine, studies until dinner, eats for a half hour, then goes right back up to study until bed time. it has been so sad an lonely for me since i havent had a job, but i just got one. i will be working at a dental office as there front desk girl! i cant wait to start on August 1st!! bring on the bacon. Student loans are just soo stressful! this will be a fun adventure for us to live here and i cant wait to see what great things will come of being here! :)
 Shane is soo tricky! he knows i love suprises and he also knew that our anniversary would be crazybusy with him in school and his first big exams the next day. So before he started school he suprised me with a weekend gettaway..well not reallygetaway! haha it was just down the street from our new home but it still didnt feel like home yet so it was perfect! he took me for a two night stayat the Las Vegas Hotel! it was a blast. we swam at the pool, relaxed and watched tv in the bedroom (we dont have tv, so it was a treat) and got unlimited food all day long. i ate great though. i jsut stuck to eating my favorite!! FRUIT! haha. one of the days Shane took me to a Outlet mall and we each got some money to buy summer clothes that we desperately needed since moving to Vegas! We got all of shane's clothes there but i am just too cheap! i said we needed to go to Ross cuz i knew i would be able to get twice as much for my money! and guess what...I DID! it was awesome how much i got for so little! :) Thanks Shane for the best early Anniversary celebration ever!! :)


I have never stayed so high up before! it was awesome!

Just the Beginning of Our new Home :)

 We bought our first couch and love it! it fits in our front room so nicely and we got a good rug to go with it!! we are still working out getting enough friends to fill it but we will get there! haha :)
 The awesome shadow boxes in our kitchen! i do love that our kitchen has plenty of counter space and cute things on the walls!
 Our awesome new bedroom set that we got for free! we just painted it and made it look like new and we are loving how nice it looks now. it used to be wood with gold handles! :) Lis hone is the best, she helped us painted them all and she did a great job!
 our WALK-IN closet! something that i have always wanted! it is so nice having plenty of space for clothes and it is so much easier to keep it all clean!!
 This is our Guest bathroom for our extra room we have upstairs. we only spent ten dollars on decorating it cuz we used some decorations that we had before and bought just a few more! i think it looks great! :)
This is our bathroom and i love it too! it is the bathroom set that we got for our wedding and then we also have another bathroom but its not as cool as these ones. haha :)  The best thing about our new home is that we have a side yard that has a BBQ so we have been putting it to good use! it has been the best! it has been fun for me to decorate the house and make it feel more homey since i am stuck here most of the day while shane is studying at school. we still have more decorating to go but this was just what we got done in the first week :) im so proud! :)

We left our hearts in Rexburg..who woulda thought?

 This is Sharyl. She has been my best friend for almost my entire life and she still continues to be there for me! i just love her. people have always thought we were twins growing up and even at this bye bye BBQ, Shane went up to sharyl and called her Honey! haha. he was shocked when she looked up and wasnt me! she is just beautiful so i love when people say we look alike! Shane and i love hanging out with Sharyl and her husband Raleigh. they are so much fun and such a cute little couple!! Sharyl is prego and i cant wait to hold her little mystery baby. Theyare waiting to see on the gender when she has the Baby!
 Goodbye to my Beautiful young women! i will miss them so much. This seriouslywas the BEST calling EVER!!! the girls helped me remember how to be happy about little things and not let the trials we face weigh us down and make us unhappy. They are so full of love and beauty!

 Shane's Soccer Buddies!!! I know that this is shanes hardest part of leaving Rexburg! he got so close to these boys and loved how easy it was to get together and kick a ball around with these boys, but he doesnt have anysoccer buddies now and it makes him sad! For shane , kicking around a ball helps him not be so stressed in school, but he doesnt have that anymore and his school is more stressful then ever!
 Here are two couples i will never forget! the Spains and the Hones! we had so much fun with them and they are so giving and sweet! Sunday dinners, BBQs, boating, cabins, snow mobiling, fourth of july fireworks, family dinners and the Hones, Chuckers games, and much more! they are so kind and fun and just the type of friends that are always there for you! i hope we see them again real soon!
 I grew up with Clay welch and this is his beautiful wife adeline! they are such a cute couple and they love eating fruit salad just like us! so we got to enjoy a few fruit parties with them!
 This is the girl that made it all happen and her Husband kasey! Amber and i became good friends and Amber wanted to set me up with Shane. She even said that we were perfect for each other and should get married, before our first date! Thanks to Amber that did happen! I am so glad she was put into my life to bring Shane to me! he is my Bestest friend!
 This is Mike and Becky! Mike was Shanes roommate when both of us couples started dating! they helped each other through our stupid girly moments and im glad they did. cuz now we are both married! love how things work out!
 Such a beautiful little girl! Quinley is so special to me because she belongs to our good friends, the hones! i threw Lisa's baby shower for little Quin and just love her cute giggle and smile! i miss her so much! Lisa always dresses quin so cute too!
 These are the awesome friends that got us all those treats!! shane roomed with Jake and was roommates with Jake when theyhung out with kate and now they are married with two beautiful children!!
 Our Friends stocked us up on yummy treats for the car ride to Vegas! oh how i miss all our friends so much! tears have been shed many times since being here. it is so sad on weekends or at night while shane studies and i am alone, but i am starting to make some great friends and it is getting easier!

Oh how i will miss having this temple so close. it is so nice to always be able to look up where ever you are in Rexburg and see such a beautiful temple!!

 The night before we were getting ready for the big move and we got a call from Budget trucks. they said " sooo do you have to leave tomorrow?" we said yes..of course. they told us that there had been a mix up and they did not have a truck for us!!! we were so frustrated. i was more then shane. we had the elders quorum coming to help us move everything to the truck that next morning! they said they would see what theycould do! they didnt get us a truck until two in the afternoon when the plan was to move in the morning since its a long drive! they didnt even give us a discount! the truck was five hours late!! the elders quorum had come and gone by theytime things needed to be moved. so we rounded up a few neighbor boys to help us!! haha..it was sometimes scary with those fragile boxes but everything was safe and sound. you could tell these boys are true scouts..haha!!
 What a lucky boy to get to drive this beast all the way to Vegas! He was such a trooper!
 We are so sad not to live close to ty and Bonnie and their adorable two kids! it was fun getting to see them every once in awhile and luckily we got to say one quick goodbye while passing through Pocotello!
Welcome to Vegas!
