happy birthday jared!!!

jared turned 23 years old today! conviently enough our ward had rented out the bowling alley here in rexburg for a ward party so jared got to bowl for free today! he got some very nice cuff links that match his wedding ring, a concert ticket and some tools from my parents. red robin just opened up here in IF and so we went out to eat with his parents and brothers. it was YUMMY! we got an ice cream cake from Dairy Queen cause we figured if i made a cake he would eat the whole thing by himself. it was very good and we have a lot of left overs if anyone wants to stop by and have some!

im so grateful to have him by my side everyday. i couldnt have asked for anything more. i cant wait to see what else is in store for us as we continue our life together! i love you sweet cheeks!

9 months!!!!

jared and i have been married for 9 months today! i cant believe it! time goes by sooo fast! i say 9 months like its a LONG time, but it really isnt! its funy we had a lot of new couples move into the ward today and they have all been married for 2 weeks, 1 month, 1 week... me and jared are the ancient ones now compared to them! i told jared the next ward we live in we will be able to say we have been married for 1 year! that is crazy! these past 9 months have been so awesome and jared and i have been so blessed! the lord really is watching out for us and im so grateful for that! im sooo grateful to have been able to be married and sealed to jared in the temple! and i LOVE going back to the temple with him every week!

other news happening here in the burg, we were just called as gospel doctrine teachers... i think i almost cried after i heard that.... we taught today and i was more nervous than anything! i LOVE teaching, but i like teaching 8 year olds! i think it went somewhat well... we teach every other sunday so hopefully we will know a little more what to expect for next time!

right now we are just working.... i might stab my eyeballs out im SOOOO bored at work, but i cant complain cause its easier than anything ive ever done and it pays well!! we are trying to decide what to do for our 1 year anniversary coming up in a few months and since we didnt have a honeymoon when we did get married, we are looking at cruises right now! i want to go SOO bad, but we just cant get ourselves to purchase the tickets... we'll see if we end up going or not! i told jared if we dont go now, we probably wont ever go.

i know this is going to sound totally random... but we went to the distribution center last week to get jared some new pants for the temple and i was looking at all the cute little dresses and tux's that they have for baby blessings... then i thought about my wedding dress that is just hanging up at jared's parents house and i think i want to find someone who could make a baby blessing dress/ or tux out of it for when we have a baby... i think it would be cool... probably pricey but i think it would be neat.... anyways... just my random thought for the day!
