A Few of My Favorite Things

So i guess it is my turn, since all of you have gone.

I love my husband for making my life easy, and for being my best friend.

I love all of my little sunbeams that I teach every Sunday at church. They are so smart, and teach us both so much.

I love being outside, and just taking in all of the beauty that earth has to offer.

I love being a wife, aunt, sister, and daughter.

I love that my parents support me in whatever I do.

I love camping.

I love spending time with my husband.

I also like Ryann love chocolate, I eat it almost everyday.

I love living in the greatest country in the world. Even though it may not have a stable economy right now.

I love the smell of my house after I am done cleaning it with Clorox.

There are lots of other things that I love but we would be here all night. I am very lucky to live in America and have food and shelter. I am glad that I did this, because I think that we take too much for granted. Now that I have done this, why don't you try it for yourself.

Our Special Day

This past weekend Tanner and I celebrated our one year anniversary going through the temple, and making our marriage forever. It was a great experience for both of us. Then on Saturday after we went through the temple we had a party out at my parents house with all our family and friends. It is so awesome to have family and friends that support us in whatever we do. Thanks to everyone for helping with the food. We are glad that you could all share in are special day. I also wanted to tell Tanner that I love very much and that I am thankful that he is my husband. He takes such good care of me, and I am thankful for him. I LOVE YOU TANNER.

I am so glad that we made the choice to go through the temple and be sealed together for time and all eternity. All in all it was a very special and wonderful day for us. Thanks to everyone who shared our special day with us. Love you guys.

Remodel

So this is a little late going up, because we got done with the kitchen last Tuesday, but better late than never. So Tanner his friend Myka and his brother tore the wallpaper off in about an hour on Tuesday. Then on Wednesday Myka and I painted the kitchen a really light minty green color. On Thursday Myka and Tanner started sanding down the cabinet doors and drawers outside. After that they started sanding the cabinets, however those could not come down, and boy what a mess it made. Anyways, on Saturday the boys finally finished the sanding. Then it was my turn. Tanner had to work and I didn't want to stain the cabinets by myself so I called my dad to come down and help. He drove down from Idaho Falls and helped me, we put a couple of coats on and then called it good. On Sunday I had to wash all of my dishes because the dust got everywhere, so after church I started washing the dishes and finally got done at 11:00 pm. Then on Monday I had to stain all of the cabinet doors and drawers which sucked by the way. I ended up getting sick and so it was just not a very fun day. Then on Tuesday I finally got the rest of my house put back together. This remodel was not much fun because all of my kitchen was in my living room, but it was so worth it. Here are so before and after pictures of the kitchen.
