A Trip Down Memory Lane

I just thought I needed to reminisce of our relationship with a little collage.

One Year of Happiness with My Love

Today is my and Brett's one year anniversary! It is amazing that is has already been a year. It has been a year of learning and growing, but more than anything it has been a year of complete happiness. Brett is an absolutely amazing husband. I am so lucky to have found someone as carring and understanding as him. I feel fortunate to be sealed for eternity to such a wonderful man.

I was in charge of planning our anniversary since Brett was in charge of Valentine's this year. I decided to take him to the Coeur d' Alene resort. We go engaged on the boardwalk there, so I thought it would be a nice trip down memory lane. The room was amazing and the night was great. We took a walk on the boardwalk then went in for a gooey. In the morning we took a dip in the pool. We were supposed to go skiing on Saturday, but it was rainy up on the mountain so we decided to hold off for another weekend. Here are a couple pics from our anniversary weekend.

This is the view from our room. We tried to best we could to
get a good pic, but you can't see much.

This is the top of our wedding cake. Yes we saved it to eat on our one year, is that corny? It didn't taste too bad, but I only took one bite. Brett really liked it. Sarah, you will be happy to know he said it was the moisest cake he has ever had.

Opening presents. He got me the second book in the twilight series, a wonderful gift.

I go Brett a couple play station games (I hope I don't regret this)
and then I made him a book off of Picaboo.

More Family Fun

My mom sent me the rest of the pictures from Sunday's festivities. There was a lot of fun pictures so I put them all into a collage. This is the third time I have tried to put a collage on the blog and it has not worked yet, so I hope it works this time. Thanks mom for all the pictures!

Happy Birthday To Me

Well, yesterday on March 9 I turned 25!!!! I know, pretty exciting. It was for me anyway. I think that birthdays are a really big deal. It is the one day of the year that you get to celebrate yourself and the day gets to be all about you. I think everyone needs that every once in a while. Unfortunately, I married someone who thinks that birthdays are just another day of the year, nothing special. Thank goodness he is such a good husband and likes to please me, even though I knows it kills him to make a big deal out of my birthday. I appreciate everything that he does to make me happy. So let me tell you about my fabulous birthday weekend. On Sunday night we got to go over to Coeur d' Alene to hang out with my family. This is what makes me happiest. It was a great way to celebrate my birthday. My parents gave me a bike for my birthday, which I love. I have wanted a bike for a while for a couple reason. In the summer time I would rather ride my bike around to do stuff than drive my car. Also, Makenna loves going on bike rides and when I go with her I have to ride Brett's. This will be nice because now we can go on family bike rides! So thank you mom and dad for the bike.
On Monday it was basically just another day of work. Except I did get a lot of birthday hugs from my little Kindergarteners. After work we went to Makenna's basketball game and then rushed over to dinner with my friends. It is always good to see my girlfiriends. I get so busy that I rarely get to see them any more, so I always enjoy the times we do get to spend together. Then we went up to Beth and Wes' house for cake and ice cream. They had quite the cake waiting for me. And of course to top off the night I went home with my husband and watched the latest episode of 24 (my new favorite show). Oh, and my wonderful husdand suprised me with a with a new pot and pan set from Costco. I know this doesn't sound to glamorous, but I can not tell you how happy it made me. They are so beautiful that I thought about putting pictures of them on, but then I thought that might bore people.
Anyway, it was a great couple of days of birthday celebrations. Thank you to everyone for celebrating with me!

Look at how handsome my husband is. I just love him so much and feel so fortunate to have him in my life. This was a Beth's house.

Ben where is your hand???? We were all waiting for cake and I guess Ben got bored.

Look at that beautiful cake. Beth and Wes won in at a cake auction, so it made for a good birthday cake.

My sweet sister. I love her so much. She is truly my best friend. This was at my aunts house on Sunday. Mor pics to come later.

My sweet nieces.

Cutting the cake at Beth's

I know I don't have a lot of pictures right now, but I will be posting more later.

Dissapointment After Dissapointment

I guess all I can say is, "What was Jason thinking?" What a whirlwind of emotions we went through last night. But it did not end on a good feeling. I guess Jason and Molly deserve each other, because anyone who dumps a girl like Melissa on television and tells her he is going to try to hook up with a another girl right after does not deserve her! I do have to say, I think that Melissa handled herself really well last night. Every time she said something to Jason I was like, "Yes, you go girl." I think that she will have a great time in no time. Brett says that he feels bad for Jason, because he thinks he can relate to him in some way. However, I think that he needs to try to figure out himself before he start tellings different girls that he is going to love them forever. Anyway, I guess we will see how long this relationship lasts.

Paisley Party

Last night, Brett and I had such a wonderful opportunity to go to the Brad Paisley concert. It was absolutely amazing. Brett is a total geek because he is a member of the Brad Pailey fan club (sometimes he suprises me with what a complete nerd he is). But because of this we got the most amazing seats. We started out in the fourth row! I guess there are some perks to being married to a music geek. So I have a lot of pictures from the show since we were so close. I didn't put them all on, but there are a lot.

Us at the beginning of the show. We were like the first people to our seats because Brett was sure we had to be there like 1 1/2 hours before it started. I was trying to get the stage in the background but it didn't work out too good.

Just us at the top of the arena.

So Dirks Bentely opened up from Brad. He was awesome. A very good entertainer.

When Dirks was singing we were still in the fourth row, so we didn't that good of pictures.

And now it's Brad. It was so cool because he was literally playing right over us.

This is my favorite picture I got of him. He is such a cute guy.

I think one of the best things about his concert was with the huge screens behind him. It was always playing the coolest videos or animations. It made the concert really fun.

Hello!

Not the best picture of either of us, but it was a crowded space.

Another cool thing about the concert was all of the guitars that Brad played. He was literally switching them out almost every song. I loved all of them. I think I missed a pictured of one though. But here is Brad and all his guitars.

Well there you go. That was my amazing night with Brad. Brett was really lucky because since he is a "fan club member" he got to go back stage after the show and take a picture with him. I just don't know the site to get the picture yet. I think that made his year. But as I was looking at all the pictures of people that met Brad, I noticed that he was about the only guy. Seriously probably 4 guys went back there. I just thought that it was funny that the majority of his fan club is girls, and then there is my husband. The wallpaper for his phone now is him and Brad. I said, "Most guys have pictures of their wife or kids on their phone, but really I am so happy that instead you chose to put you and Brad on there." Haha. I love him so much.
