ZION

so before we left me and chris decided we wanted to start hiking! and our first hike was..dun dun dun... ANGELS LANDIN!! I didnt even think twice about it when we decided to go, and ya the first part was hard but still way fun... and then we got to the part where you have to hold onto a chain and climb for a half mile with a 2000 foot drop on either side of you, I never knew i was scared of hights and that i hypervenalate when i only have a one foot strip to walk on with sheer drops on either side of me... nonetheless thats what i did. but chris promised me if i finished it he would get me a puppy... so i kept going, balling the whole way! and we made it!!! I will never do it again but it was beautiful! we went on several other hikes that i liked alot more the next couple days... all in all we love zion!

We are alive!!

So we made it to Indianapolis safely! We love it here its so beautiful and our apartment is nice too. I will post pictures of it later! so our journey started out tearfully (again) leaving our new home and family, we had a birthday party for chris the night before so we got to see almost everyone before we left which was so nice. and we started off on our 22 hour drive to kirksville missouri, Chris drove the whole way ( hes such an awesome husband ) he let me sleep alot but at 12 midnight he woke me up by yelling happy birthday to me, and proceeding to yell it every 15 minutes the remaining 8 hours of the drive (yes, we drove all through the day and night without stopping) we stopped at a whole in the wall little diner at 3 in the morning and had a birthday breakfast 4 me. 22 hours later we pulled up to bree and tylers house and had so much fun with them and there cute little family!we went to nauvoo and it was so amazing, bree and tyler are such good hosts they kept us entertained the whole time and we had so much fun! here is a funny converstion me and chris still laugh about
hallie- throwing a tantrum on the drive back fromo nauvoo!
bree- hallie stopo or you will go right to bed when wee get home.
hallie- continues tantrum
bree- 1....2....3..
hallie- tantrum
bree- ok your going to bed when we get home
hallie- no i dont want to go to bed
annie- mom STOP that makes hallie sad, hallie you can stay up tonight!

we are still laughing
anyways we stayed a week there and finally left (Jessica trying not to cry cause thats what she does when she leaves people) and 6 hours later arrived at the beautiful indianapollis. ill blog more later i am in a hurry and ill put pictures, and update on fun events we did a while ago!

I Love My Husband

so as man of you know my dear sweet husband had to fly to florida wed, to train some of his recruits on selling pinnacle security. he is going to be gone for two weeks which means he would be gone for valentines! i was getting more and more sad about him leaving so the day before he left he was out working and told me he would be gone till 6 or 630! he said he wanted to take me out to a nice dinner for valentines when he got home, so he told me to go to the gym with kensi then hurry and come home and get ready so we could leave when he got home. so i got home at 6 and hurried and showered and got ready (all cute in a dress and everything) right as i was getting finished the doorbell rang! so i hurried downstairs to answer it.... I opened the door and there stood my dear handsome husband dresses to the T in church clothes( i love the way he looks all dressed up) holding 48 red roses... i wanted to cry i was so excited but i couldnt stop smiling long enough to! so he said we had to hurry cause we had reservations and couldnt be late but he wouldnt tell me were! i finally found out as we pulled up to the cosmopolitan restaurant.... IT WAS AMAZING!!! the best food we have ever had and so romantic! I feel like the luckiest girl in the world to have a husband who loves me so much and is so sweet to me! now he has been gone for 2 days and i honestly feel like i am not myself and my heart hurts! but he will be home in 12 days so i guess i can manage!

Our New Home

 

 

 

this is mine and chris's new house we had so much fun building it and love living in it together,we are so grateful to have such a beautiful home we have been so blessed. sorry it took so long to post this for certain family members that dont live by us... uh it was terribly mean of us, but we do not have a computer or internet for the time being and it is difficult to remember when we are places that have them!

Darcy and Jessie's wedding

 

 

 

So Chris's sister got married last month and it turned out so beautiful!

ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY!!

Me and Chris had our one year anniversary a couple months ago in spain and had a blast!! and I just wanted to make a quick list of my favorite things about being married to chris this last year!
- having someone always with me that i never get sick of!
- finding out how much fun it is to make chris happy.
- waking up to chris every morning
- waking up nearly everynight to hear or see what chris is dreaming about (he sleep walks and talks)
- planning our future
- going to spain, albequerque, tucson, idaho, cancun, and many of our other last minute adventures together.
- buying a home together.
- living in our cute first apartment together.
- doing our buisness adventures
- having someone be completely in love with me and being happier than i could ever imagine.

so i know it has been a while since i have been back from spain but i have tried many times to post and then i get frustrated with kensi's computer and quit! hopefully i will make it through it this time! so here are just a few of the pictures from spain. we had so much fun we went to toledo segovia valencia madrid, and azuqueqa, we spent alot of time in the cute little cities just shopping around and touring the castles and what not, we also spent alot of time with the awesome members over there! we had a dinner appointment every night after we got done touring and almost every family that chris had gotten to know on his mission fed us an amazing dinner. everyone over there was so fun and i loved having the chance to see chris's mission and the people that were a part of his life! one of my favorite things was the beach, it was beautiful and felt so good! we were able to go to the temple over there to do baptisms and to go through a session, and also to go see general conference! well her battery is dying so im going to have to put more pics up later and tell a little more about what we did!
