Flowers








I had some fun with my camera and took some pictures of the flowers growing around my in-law's yard.

Thanks For the Ride So Far!

Yesterday Brandt and I had our anniversary, and we have been married for two years now. We celebrated by going to a really nice Italian restaurant and saw the new Harry Potter movie.

It has been a crazy two years, and somehow time manages to go by so slow and so so fast at the same time. I feel as if I have known Brandt forever (three years), however I look to see where has all the time gone. I would have never imagined two years ago that I would be living here in Michigan, but I also couldn't imagine graduating from college. Then again, what college student does?

I'm reminded of the analogy President Hinckley gave about life as riding a train. We go through thrills and excitement and the dulls, but, in the end, we should grateful for the ride. This concept is something I'm learning and relearning all the time. That I need to enjoy more of the process of my life instead of the results. While Brandt and I had to do some not-so-glamorous things during our relationship and marriage, such as being apart for six months, practically living at a restaurant to earn money for school, going to school and working so much that we could only see each other for 15 minutes a day, and being jobless, Brandt and I have had many good times. For example, all the adventures we went on such as going to Disney Land, Jackson Hole, the countless trips to both of our parents' house, and going up to West Yellowstone many times. Also we had our mini adventures together such as getting snowcones next to Taco Bell, the numerous walks around Rexburg, and dates going to the cheap theater on center street. I miss those times and wish I could have savored them more.

Thanks, Brandt for letting me be with you on this train ride, I look forward to what's instore for us.

Because I have had some free time, I did some fun Photoshop stuff on our wedding pictures.

Happy Anniversary

Here is a video montage I made of Brandt and myself. It's been a good two years, but we have so much more to go :)!
