Holiday Season..:)

Ok so i havent been able to post for a few weeks. We have been so busy that everytime i try to come on here i end up having to do something else! Christmas is right around the corner and we couldnt be more excited. We love christmas!! Last year we were on our honeymoon in Vegas during christmas and it just didnt feel the same. But lets start with the holiday that comes before it.... THANKSGIVING. Alright so first off we went to boise last week for thanksgiving. We had such a great time. It was nice ( and always is nice ) to be able to see family and relax. We have been working so hard lately and it was a nice break to be able to go for almost a whole week. I was able to cook a lot and learn a little bit more about cooking with zacks mom. It was nice to be able to just talk to her and have zack away! haha Im just kidding i love him to death and want to be with him all the time. But i know he had a lot of fun being able to spend some time with his dad alone working on cars the whole week. We were able to cook thanksgiving and watch a ton of movies which was really nice. We also brought our cat KIMBO. It was funny because him and bear (zacks dog) at first were a little apprehensive of each other at first. They would chase each other and didnt look like they were ever going to get along. But after a few days they warmed up to each other and i think that they became best friends. But it was a very very long week. It was a lot of fun though. Here are some pics from the weekend.



Ok so now for what else has been going on. We were thinking about staying in Rexburg for Christmas because of time off from work and going to NJ was just a little to expensive for us. We have been looking at ticket prices and it just didnt look like we would be able to afford plane tickets. So while we were in Boise one morning i looked at my email and i found this itinerary. I thought at first that i accidently booked a flight to NJ and was almost in tears because i didnt know how to afford it. Then i looked and saw our names on it and found that my parents had bought us the tickets!!! it was such a great suprise and i have been soo excited for the past week to be able to go home in just 15 days!! i really miss home and get really homesick sometimes. So i think this will be nice. And i actually will be able to turn 21 while im home which means i get to spend my birthday and christmas. AND NEW YEARS at home. So we fly out the 19th to the 1st. Its a long time but i am very happy i get to go home!

So we have set up our christmas tree and lights and are trying to get into the christmas spirit right now. We still dont know what we are going to do with our cart while we are gone but we will figure it out. And now we dont know what we are going to do with our car either while in SLC. We fly out of SLC on the 19th and just cant afford to leave it at the airport.


But we hope all of our friends and family have a great holiday and hope that many wishes come your way! We love you all :)

ok so we have be very busy with life !!!

we took our kitten to the vet yesterday to see about getting declawed. We plan on taking her to boise for thanksgiving. So we want to make sure that she doesnt ruin any furniture!! well we took her to the vet and found out she is a boy!!!!

So after calling her chloe for so long we had to think of a new name. Zack thought of the name Kimbo. But the problem is that we cant seem to call HIM That. we are always saying she or chloe and then we are like noo.. we have to call HIM KIMBO. so this is tough. Oh well thats what we get for not taking him when we first got him.

Ok so thats so far what has been going on. Zack is a lot better and is not sick anymore which is good because it was so hard to watch him be in pain and not feeling well for a few days. I went to a friends house the other day so she could do my makeup for her porfolio. She sells mary kay, and the whole time she is trying to get me to sell it! I think it sounds a lot of fun in a way, but i am afraid of losing money because of the college town that we live in. So i have thought about it but probably wont do it.

We really cant wait for Thankgiving break. We only took of a few days but those few days will be nice because we havent got to go anywhere for a few months.

busy busy busy..

DADDYS PRINCESSES

ok so its been a while since i have last updated. We have been really busy with work and zacks going to school so there has not much else that has been going on. Zack is really sick today. So we took him to the doctor today just to make sure everything is ok. So he has been relaxing all day. I went to work for all of 10 mins and then a girl said she wanted to work. So i was able to come home and be able to be with zack. We got a new kitten! she is adorable. We got her about a week ago because we wanted some entertainment in our house. Zack named her chloe. she is so fun and its nice to have someone else around the house!!!! So it just passed our 10 months. I can not believe that in two months we will have been married for a year!!!!!!!!! i just cant imagine that. it seems so unbelievable because it went so fast. Now i know that everything else is life will go fast and im not looking forward to it. But im happy that we are married and have gone through this great journey together. Yesterday we also went with another couple in our complex to one of the haunted houses. It was really fun and nice to get out.


THIS IS HOW CHLOE SLEEPS :)

Birthday fun!

Today was zacks birthday! I wish that it could of been the best birthday ever. But sometimes dont you feel that the day that should be the best, never goes the way you plan?? This morning Zack had to get up for school, so i got up with him to make him breakfast. Usually he just makes it himself because its early and i dont eat breakfast. But since it was his birthday, i got up to make him breakfast:). Then I drove him to school and i just ran some errands and went to the doctor. After his class, he had to take a test, on his birthday! dont these teachers know that its a friday, and its zacks birthday?! Well he studied for it, and just didnt do as well as he hoped so he just started off not having a great day. Anyways, after his test we came home and we just hung around and zack did some homework while i took a nap! We were hoping to go to idaho falls to dinner but i didnt wake up early enough. So we went to wingers for his birthday, and of course we needed to get the dessert there. Which was good for me becuase i got to eat most of it! He didnt want them to sing so they didnt lol. And he also got some fun stuff for his birthday like temple clothes from his mom, and madden from mine! so he has fun new stuff! i cant wait until my birthday so i can get cool stuff to. So for the rest of the night we are just going to watch a movie and hang with each other because we love spending all the time we can with each other, especially on birthdays! I also decided to dye my hair dark for the first time ever!! everyone else does it because of the winter, so i wanted to be a part of it. Here is a picture. Tell me what you think. It will go a little lighter in a week, so its a little dark for now. but let me know!

new new new

Here are some recent pictures of us playing around!
So we made this huge plan to move to utah, and even made some arrangements to go. And now, WE ARE NOT GOING. we are kinda sad not to be able to go. But we feel that school is so important that we dont want to maybe miss out, and be in school longer then we would like. So we are going to stay here. So now everyone needs to come visit us here! So Zack has been doing very well in school the past two weeks. He does so well working and going to school . I am so proud of him. He is such a great husband! We have been trying a ton new recipes also. So far they are going pretty well. If there turns to be any worthy ones i will post them so you can try them to! We also are looking to start a hobby together. Something outside maybe? the only problem is that its not warm all year round haha. Also on wed, there is a chance of snow.. ALREADY.... SEPT? Yeah it just reminded me of why i hate rexburg weather. Its alright i guess. a 3rd times a charm right? Also we have been writing derek every week. He is doing so well and wants to keep learning spanish as much as he can. If only we knew now that one day we would actually get along and love each other? right?! We are trying to make plans for thanksgiving and christmas already, but you can never start to early can you. Zacks birthday is also next week. He is really excited. But he is not excited to be 23. I think he still wants to be young!
On Saturday we went to our friends wedding reception . It was absolutley beautiful. They looked so happy, and it just made us remember why we got married in the first place. !

Family, friends, fun!

So we had the opportunity to go to our friends baby blessing that weekend. He is so adorable and really makes us think about how we can not wait to start our own family ! During the weekend we got to see a lot of zacks friends who he was so happy to see. Its nice to see our friends, because sometimes we dont remember how it is to actually hang out with the people we love. We really thought about how we miss seeing our friends all the time, and we have been having a hard time being here in rexburg lately. So we actually are planning on moving to Provo after this semester!!!!! We have been thinking about it a lot lately and feel that this just might be a really great opportunity for us. It would require us to miss a little bit of school, but we have worked it out that it wont take a year for us to get instate tuition at UVU. In the meantime we are still going to try to get into byu, but if not, we want some options..

Anyways, besides our awesome weekend, Zack started school this week. School started on Thursday , but he only has classes monday wed and fridays. So yesterday he went to three classes. He is also takin 2 online classes. He really wants to try really hard this semester so it will be easier for us to transfer schools. He is doing so well in life and i am so proud of him for the effort he has put into everything he does. We are going on a hike tonight with another couple so that will be fun!!

Our nice little weekend away from home

So this past weekend we had the chance to go to boise to see zacks mom. We had a friend drive us down with zacks motorcycle so we could trade it with a car. Which is really nice now to have because sometimes its really hard to have to drive each other around all the time. So we got there late thursday night and stayed until Sunday. We went to see one of zacks friends, who just got married. We went to their open house to see them at it was really fun to see someone else's wedding as a still newly married couple ourselves. It reminded me of our own wedding and it was so nice to see that others can share in the happiness we have.
Then we went to the fair with some of our friends and it was a fun night out on the town!! lol. Well we like to call it that, but it was so nice. Zack got to see one of his best friends who just recently had a baby who is adorable! it is so good to see how our friends are growing up so fast and seeing each others families grow bigger and bigger by the moment. We are finally seeing our friends get married and have children and its so weird, but its such an amazing blessing to have a family of your own.
Then on Sunday we helped in nursery in the ward and it was way hectic but so fun. Everyone kept telling me this was birth control, but i know caring for other peoples children is different from having your own. We cant wait to have a family, but have decided we need to wait a little big longer. We are trying to save up so we can go to Ecuador where Zack served his mission. He wants to show me where he was and what he did for two years. So maybe after that we can see about having children of our own and starting a wonderful family. (zack is going to be an excellent dad).
And then after church Zacks dad flew into boise just to see us, and it was sad that we had to go so soon. But it was fun for us to talk and see what each other has been up to for the past 8 months. So now we are back in Rexburg working again, which is where we dont necessarily want to be, but what can you do?
Next weekend we are going to take a drive to Salt Lake and watch a baby blessing. We are so excited to be able to witness that!

good ol' rexburg

We are so busy working our life away at applebees. This weekend we are going to Boise to see one of zacks friend who recently got married. We are going to go to the open house, and it will be nice to get out of rexburg for the weekend. We also found out that the fair is also this weekend so hopefully we can go! School starts for Zack on Sept. 10th and i hope he gets ready. I know he is not ready to go back to school, but eventually it will be all over with. It doesnt feel like the end is near at all though. Derek has been writing letters to us from the mtc and is glad to be leaving and on his way to long beach california. He and Zack write letters in spanish to each other and i feel they are probably talking about me all the time!! But we are way proud of him. And what is really cool is that Nic has been out on his mission for a year already. So only one year to go!

We love being married and this weekend will be 8 months... its crazy, 8 MONTHS ALREADY!! it doesnt feel like that long, but we love being married and every day there is always something new and exciting we find out about each other.
