I'll summarize the year in a nutshell. Casey and I got married in the Manti Temple on August 27, 2011. We moved into a one bedroom apartment until December and moved to where we live now, which is a two bedroom apartment. We have loved living here and especially loved having the extra bedroom.
Here are a few highlights from our first year as husband and wife:
*We went to the NFR in Vegas the beginning of December. It was my first time and I wasn't sure what I would think about it, but I absolutely loved it. It was so much fun. We went with Casey's parents and hung out in Vegas and went to the NFR three nights!
*One MAJOR change for me was that a couple months after we got married, I chopped my hair off! My hair was sooo long and I was up for trying something different. If I was going to cut it short, I might as well cut it really short. So I did! I could NOT believe I actually cut it, but I really liked it even thought it took a while to get use to. It was so weird not being able to put it in a ponytail. It's finally grown out a ton since then and I'm going to let it keep growing out.
*I"M PREGNANT!!! Casey and I are going to be parents and we couldn't be happier! I'm due October 18th. This is the announcement I emailed to my parents telling them. It says: Guess what? You're getting a new grandkid. October 2012. They were so shocked and excited at the same time!
To tell Casey's family, we got a little white shirt and Casey wrote on it: I am getting a new cousin! Casey put the shirt on our little niece and set her in the middle of the room while all of us were sitting on the couch. They all read it and finally realized that we were having a baby. It was so fun!
This is this box I made to tell everyone the gender. We filled it with pink balloons. We made everyone guess what they thought the gender was! Casey and I opened the box at the same time and out came the pink balloons!
*In May, Casey and I took a trip to Wisconsin and Tennessee. Wisconsin is where Casey served his mission and Tennessee is where I grew up. It was so much fun! We visited a lot of Casey's friends from his mission and went to a mission farewell of a girl he baptized. I loved meeting the people he taught and met from his mission!

*Casey has found a new hobby! He has discovered refurbishing old furniture. We bought some old furniture and Casey redid them for our baby nursey. He sanded them down and painted them to match our crib set. He did such an amazing job and has saved us a ton of money during the process. Here is the before and after pictures of the three pieces of furniture he redid for the baby's room. I can't wait to set up and decorate her room. It's going to be fun!
Well there it is...our life up until this point. I love looking back at the fun things we've done so far and excited to keep making memories together!!
