One Year Anniversary

Today's our 1 Year Anniversary! This past year we've had some fun exciting times such as:

• Paying Mexican cops off in Tijuana. Long story. We were on our honeymoney and were on our way back to the border when some nasty cops pulled us over.
  
• Being able to go to the San Diego Temple.
• I went camping and hiking, in the mountains, for the first time. Almost died on the hike. Well, I guess I'm exaggerating, I just wasn't use to the altitude.
• While camping I also got to shoot guns for the first time.
  
• Went on a 17 hour road trip with Todd's parents and his sister to Kentucky. We pulled at one point and one of my flip-flops some how fell out of the van and got left. 3 days later on the way back, Joe (Todd's Dad) pulled over and my flip-flop was still sitting on the side of the highway.
• While in Kentucky we got to go to the Grand Ol Opry and see Josh Turner, Ashton Shepard and a bunch of old country stars.
  
• For Christmas we went to Dallas to visit my family. Todd also has a brother that lives in Ft. Hood, so we went and visited his family for a couple days. On the way home Todd got pulled over in Italy, TX for going 20 over the speed limit in a construction zone. All he could talk about were how the cop and some other cops, at a gas station, were all wearing cowboy boots!
• We made our first move together up to Rexburg ID.
• We experienced truly freezing cold weather. The coldest being 20 below zero, the car almost didn't start. And despite the cold I still wouldn't let us turn the heater above 65F our first month up here. I didn't want some huge gas bill the next month.
• I got a job at Texas Road House as a hostess. It lasted 3 days. It was the only time that I've truly felt old. The girls they have as hostesses are all 16 or 17 and here I come walking in some married 22 year old.
• We moved to another apartment in Rexburg.
• And lastly we are now working together! Not quite together, just at the same company. Now that Todd has the fall semester off he's working at Potato Products in the production area making twice bakes and mashed potatoes.

It truly has been an amazing year. We've had our good and bad, but the Lord has truly blessed us. I'm grateful for the memories we've made and that we get to look back on and enjoy together.

We've uploaded our videos from our wedding for your viewing pleasure. Todd made them to play at the receptions. The first is just pictures of us growing up and dating and the second was for the Dallas reception. It's pictures from the wedding. They're long, but if you have time enjoy. They've been fun to watch again.

Todd I love you and thank you for everything. Each day is another new experience that I look forward to sharing with you. Love you-forever and always.
