Tis' the season for weddings!

May was a great month, not only were Chad and I able to celebrate our one year anniversary but we were able to enjoy a few other weddings!

First was my cousin Kyle and his wife Hailey. I was in Boise when they were married but Chad was able to make it to the reception here in Mesa. Congrats cuz and welcome to the family Hailey!

Next was one of my best friends Ashley aka George. We were able to attend the sealing, Brent is a boy version of George and we are super excited for them! I LOVE this picture of the six of us, it is a little High School Musicalish but you HAVE to have a jumping picture when it comes to us.

And last was Chad's cousin Joel and his wife Chelsey. They had a great sealing and also had a ring ceremony for her family. They couldn't have asked for better weather and the ceremony was gorgeous. Thanks for the Goodwood! Mmmm. Congrats guys!

One great year down, eternity to go!

Chad and I have now been married for a year! Time flies by, and mand has it been a busy year for us. We've lived in three states, graduated from school, got our first real job and much much more. For our anniversary we stayed at a little Bed and Breakfast in Greer, AZ. We went mountain biking, fly fishing and fed raccoons our graham crackers while enjoying some hot chocolate on our porch. It was a wonderful weekend in cooler temperatures!

We also stayed with one of Chad's co-worker's family. Their mini horse mated with a donkey and produced this:


I caught a fish my first time fly fishing!

Our little missionaries

Two out of my mom's seven kids are now on missions to Japan. Haley entered the MTC in May and Sam has been in Japan for a year now! We miss them both but are super excited for them.

Our 1st Easter

Even though Easter was almost a month ago I decided to still put pictures up. We started off the Easter weekend by attending the Mesa Temple Easter Pageant. It was amazing. We met Chad's friend from work there, Tim and his wife Tori.

The next night we dyed eggs and on Easter morning after church we hid baskets for each other.

Angelie's Visit

Angelie came to visit us during her Spring Break. We started out the week with our usual after church picture and then we drove to Mesa to show her the temple. They have a really cool cactus garden and check this...the street running behind the temple is Hobson. A perfect photo op.

One night we walked up to "A" mountain to show her the city of Tempe and Phoenix.

Most of the afternoons we spent lounging by the pool. Angelie came just as white as me and left darker...I will never get a tan here. When Chad got home from work we had a BBQ.

Angelie joined our pizza night. Chad showed off his pizza skills, all those years at lotsa motsa are paying off!

And last but not least we hit up a Spring Training game we had awesome seats. Then that night we went to an ASU softball game and saw Angelie's friend from Boise. It was a great week.

Pizza Nights

Chad and I have decided to start a tradition of pizza making every week (well almost every week). We are still trying different brands of things to see what we like best, hoping to get the perfect pizza one of these nights.

Mom and Dad's Visit

Well we had our fist visitors in Arizona! My mom and dad came to visit on their way home from a business trip to the Bahamas. They were here Friday night through Sunday afternoon and unfortunatley I ended up getting strep throat, had a fever of 103 and we spent their last hours with us at the doctors office...we did though have a ton of fun! Thanks for coming!! We miss you already.

*We started their visit by showing them around the complex and our little mini Mexico down the road, Guadalupe.


*Then we went to Castle n Coasters. It is like a miniature amusement park/miniature golfing place. We had a lot of fun being outside and riding all the rides, we even got Chad to ride the Merry-go-round, you are never too old to ride it!


*We ended the night with some miniature golf and dinner, then my sickness started kicking in...Love you guys!
