Small update....

I know it has been forever since I last updated this thing, so I thought I would fill you in a few of the things that have been going on in our lives!
As many of you know Devin broke his ankle in July and had to have surgery. He has not been able to put any weight on his leg whatsoever and he has hated that! He had a doctors appointment yesterday and he is finally able to at least stand on it which we are both excited about! It will be probably be a couple more weeks before he can actually walk!
School started this past Monday and things are going to be hectic and crazy busy for us! This is my last semester and I am so excited to graduate. I am seriously so sick of school that I toyed with the idea of actually dropping out, but have decided to endure this final semester. My schedule is crazy!! I go to work early early everyday then leave and go to school then go back to work after school is over! Devin has a real tough school load this semester too, full of organic chemistry, physics, labs etc. etc. He is still managing the Verizon store as well, so needless to say he is super busy as well!
Obviously it wouldn't be a family update without including Lucy! As of September 2nd our little Lucy will not longer be a she! We are hoping that this will calm her down and stop the humping! (Yes girl dogs hump things too!)
We are alive and happy! If you have some free time please come and visit us in Logan! With our busy schedules it doesn't look to promising that we will be able to leave the Cache Valley for a while!!

New Niece

Brandon and Andrea got a new addition and we are so excited for them!

Memories

1. Leave one memory that you and I had together, as a comment on my blog. It doesn't matter if you knew me a little or a lot, anything you remember!
2. Next, re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you. It's actually pretty funny to see the responses. If you leave a memory about me, I'll assume you're playing the game and I'll come to your blog and leave one about you. If you don't want to play on your blog, or if you don't have a blog, I'll leave my memory of you in my comments.

This will be so much fun! I can't wait to read your memories!

PS: You can leave memories of Devin too!

Happy Anniversary!

Devin and I celebrated our 1 year anniversary on the 7th! It went by so fast and has been a great year. We got off to a rocky start, with my long hospital stay, but things have been wonderful! We are so blessed to have each other and our love just keeps growing stronger!

KELLER FAMILY

Look at how cute our family is! I love the Keller family and feel so fortunate to have married into such a great fun family! Every member of the family was in Price for Valerie's funeral so we had to take advantage of it and take a quick family photo!

The Host

I just finished this book the other day and must say that I thought that it was incredible! It took me until about the 5th or 6th chapter to really start understanding and enjoying it, but after I endured the confusion at the first, I loved it! I would highly recommend it to anyone!

3 JOYS
1: I Absolutely love being with my husband! Devin is so fun to spend time with and he is absolutely hilarious. He is truly the greatest joy in my life!
2: Family! I love spending time with family, mine and Devin's both!
3: Reading! I am truly a huge nerd at heart. I love good books and the sense of accomplishment that comes with finishing a great book! If I could make money for reading, I would seriously do it all day long!

3 FEARS
1: Something happening to Devin. This is my biggest fear ever and I am actually really paranoid about it! I make sure he ALWAYS has his seat belt on and whenever he is driving for a long distance, I make him call and tell me that he is safe about every hour. I would be so devastated without him in my life!
2:Someone breaking into our house. This scares me so bad that I wake up to every little noise I hear, and I am afraid to shower while I am home alone in case someone is there when I get out. I am super paranoid!
3: Failure. I hate not doing well and hate the idea of not being successful!

3 GOALS
1: Devin and I want to get our endowments out and be sealed together for time and all eternity! 2: Graduate from Utah State! I can not wait to be done with school and just work because I love work and I hate school! December's graduation date is not coming soon enough!!
3: Have a happy and healthy family!

3 CURRENT OBSESSIONS/COLLECTIONS
1: Decorating my house! I love making our house feel more like a home! I know, we've almost lived here a year, but decorating gets expensive so it has to be done slowly on our budget!
2: Borders! I love love going shopping at Borders! Back to my book obsession, buying new books makes me so happy! I have several books that I need to read, but Borders has a great strategy because they give me 20% off coupons every time I buy something and send me a 25% off coupon about once a week to my email! This keeps me going back because I can't let my coupons expire!
3:Cafe Rio! I love everything that I eat there and could seriously eat there every day! We try not to eat out very much, but when we do this is always my first suggestion. Poor Devin is getting sick of it!

3 RANDOM SURPRISING FACTS
1: I used to be a hard core punk rocker! I seriously used to go to every punk concert dressed in emo clothes with heavy eye make-up! Crazy how a few years will change a person! Ahh
2: I speak French!
3: I am riding in a 36 mile bike race this Saturday! I am so excited and super super nervous!

Thanks Jess for tagging me! I love ya and hope that your living it up in SUNNY CA!!

FISHERMAN

Devin and my dad went fishing the other day and this is what Dev brought home for dinner!

Frisbee Golf

Devin and I, along with Pat and Carlie went and played frisbee golf on friday. We had never played before and it was so much fun! We loved it! Devin and Pat actually kept score and were a little competitive, good job babe for winning! Carlie and I mostly chased our frisbee's around, threw them into tree's and buildings, and watched them roll around.It was so fun!

New Nephew

We are so excited for Preston and Heather! We love you three!

BuNkO

Hey ladies! I have been thinking of starting a Bunko night once a month. It would cost a few dollars every month, but we would have treats and good prizes. We could all rotate who hosted it, so it isn't the same person every time. This would be super fun and give everyone a girls night every month! We need about 8-12 + ladies to make this work. So If you are in the Logan area and want to get involved please let me know and tell your friends. It will be so much fun!! Write a comment if you are interested and leave me your email address so I can give your more details.

Mothers Day

In honor of Mothers Day I have decided to make a tribute to a few of the mothers that have changed my life and helped to contribute to the person that I am today.

The first mother is my own! She is absolutely incredible. I feel so lucky to have been raised by this woman! In the past year we have grown so much closer than ever before and now that I am an adult I have learned to appreciate her and love her far more than I did as a teenager. I just wish that I could have learned those things when I still lived with her. Last summer when I was in the hospital for days she stayed in my room, in a hard recliner every night that Devin couldn't be there just so that I was not alone. She painted my toenails, rubbed my feet, helped me shower, braided my hair, and helped me use the restroom. All of the things that you have to do for a young child, not your 21 year old! She never complained when she had to drive 2 hours each way every day to be with me. She is the best mom that I could ever imagine and I am so glad that she is mine! She is always looking for ways that she can help us out and gives great advice. She is so fun to hang out with too. If you have never played name that 80's tune with my mom, you should...she will smoke you all! She is so funny and easy to talk to. She is so wonderful and I am so incredibly thankful for her and everything that she does for me. If I can be half the woman and mom that she has been to us, my children will turn out great! I am so lucky to call her mom! I love her!

The next women are my aunts, Suzy and Kelli. These women are seriously second mothers to me! I admire them so much for the influence that they have had on my life. They have been by my side supporting me throughout my entire life. I can not remember games, dance reviews, speeches, graduations,or basically anything that they have missed in my life. I love going to my mom's and having them come over. They are so fun to talk to and I just absolutely love them! They were such a huge help with my wedding and my hospital stay! They are so awesome! I love you ladies! Thanks for everything!

There are so many other mothers that have loved and supported me that I am so thankful for!

Happy Mothers day to... Amy Johnson, Aunt Jolene, Aunt Marsha, Aunt Becky, Grandma Rudd, Grandma Knudsen, Joan, Colette, Jessie, Andrea, Heather, Heidi, Charmain, Celeste, Jenn Reese, and Jamie Reese.

I hope you all have a great Mothers Day, thanks for everything over the years!
