Over Halfway There....

Well... I am now 21 weeks along so we're more than halfway there! I'm definately getting bigger and so is baby. I swear I have no idea how in the heck my stomach is going to stretch anymore. I feel like I'm carrying around a bowling ball and praying that she doesn't come out looking like a sumo-wrestler. My stomach has the likeness of a road map and I'm still trying to be ok with my weight on the scale continuing to climb to heights that it's never been before.... But I'm sure at the end of all this having her here will make all of this worth it. Wyatt has been really great to continue to help around the house and baby me. He'll be graduating in about 3 weeks and we couldn't be more excited. We're a little stressed out because we have yet to settle on a place to live and he's still continuing his job search. We have to figure it out quick tho because we have to be out of our house at the end of June. A whole lot of things will be happening in the next few short months but I can't wait. We had out 20 week ultrasound last week and it went really well. But I do have to say that it wasn't the most comfortable experience of my life.... They make you drink tons of water! (I was smart  and only drank half of it because I was afraid if they poked around too much I might pee myself.) The ultrasound tech was getting frustrated because baby would not take her thumb out of her mouth and so he kept having to jab at my stomach to try and get her to move.... Well she must be stubborn like her daddy because she would take her thumb out of her mouth and then just as quickly plop it right back in. It was pretty entertaining but after awhile my stomach started to hurt from all the jabbing. The tech said that she looks as healthy as can be which made Wyatt and I both very happy. I just can't wait to see what she looks like!

I love a good deal....

So I've decided that there really isn't anything better than finding a screaming deal and paying a fraction of the price of something. Well lately in my quest to get things ready for baby I've been looking a lot at cribs. I wanted something that looked nice and that would be safe without spending tons of $$$ on it. With Wyatt being in school we have to stay in our budget and that mean a crib under $100.00. Well I've been looking a lot online and found a crib that I absoltuely loved.

 

It's a Jenny Lind crib. I love it because... A. it has a lot of detail but yet is simple. B. It has the ability to also convert into a toddler bed. C. It's not too tall so I won't have a problem getting the baby in and out of the crib.  and D. The bottom of the crib adjust to several different heights, (also making baby access easy). 

Well although this crib was great there was just one problem..... money. It costs anywhere between 200-250$ and that's just money that we can't spend on a crib. Also, I don't see the point in spending that much on a crib when your baby won't stay in it very long and it's not like you're going to keep it forever. So I continued my search......

Well the other day while I was working at the gym I was once again on craiglist and what do i find...... My Jenny Lind crib for the amazing price of......$40.00! that's right people! I was soooo incredibly excited.It looks identical to the one in the picture above (color and everything). And the people that had it bought it brand new and it was in great shape! Wyatt went and got it for me the next morning and now my little treasure is currently sitting in our spare bedroom waiting to be painted. I wanted the white version so that it matches our nursery but that's nothing that a little paint can't fix. 

Moral of the story.... it pays to be patient and shop around!

It's a ....

Well, I had an ultrasound last week while i was working and we were able to see that IT'S A GIRL!! We couldn't be more excited. Since we heard the news I have to admit that I've gone a little craft crazy. There's just so many things that I want to make for our little sweet pea and to make it worse once I start I just have a hard time stopping. I also feel kind of overwhelmed because I'm almost halfway through this pregnancy and the list of things that we need to get ready and in order just seems to keep growing. On the bright side I have found the inspiration for my dream nursery which I plan on re-creating. Ok so it's not just gushing with pink but to be totally honest pink has never really been my #1 color of choice. I just feel like it tends to be over-done and I've always wanted to do something a little different.  So in an attempt to get my craftiness underway and start to recreate my dream nursery I began with the lovely circles on the wall that you can see in the picture on the left. I love the vintage fabrics and the little splash of color is always fun. So here's what I came up with......


I have to say that they turned out pretty good. The picture doesn't look as good as they do in person but it was fun to try something new and get a headstart on baby's room :)








So my second project for the nursery was a holder for all of her cute bows and flowers. I found this lovely treasure at the D.I for a whopping 5 bucks. I know it's not the prettiest right now but it did have "cute potential".

The next thing I found was some paint for $.56 and ribbon for a total of $3 in the clearance section at Michaels.

Well after gutting the frame. a few coats of paint to cover up that hideous green, and a little bit of ribbon and hot glue.... VOILA my little bow/flower holder.

I think it turned out really cute. Well after making that I just couldn't leave it empty so I got busy making bows and flowers and a few newborn sized headbands that I could change out and put different flowers on.

I also got really excited because I learned how to make burnt roses just out of ribbon. Here are the two that I made. I think they turned out pretty good.

I love all of these fun little girly project, they keep me busy. I can't wait till we can finally meet our sweet baby and I can dress her up in all of her cute little outfits and headbands. I've decided that I'm going to do something once a week for the baby. It gives me something to look forward to and I think it'll help me get more done without having to stress about all of it at the very end.  Life is WONDERFUL!

Our little Peanut....

Well we're now starting into week 15 of pregnancy and man has it been a rollercoaster. I feel really blessed because for the last month or so I've felt pretty great. I haven't thrown up for a few weeks and I had a doctors appointment last week where i've learned that this entire pregnancy I've gained a whopping 3 pounds. Although I feel like and think I look like i've gained quite a bit more than that. Our little baby is the size of an orange this week and thanks to modern technology we'll hopefully find out Friday what we're having. I work at a place in Idaho Falls that does ultrasounds and Echo-cardiograms and whatnot so when the boss goes to lunch my friend the ultrasound tech and I like to have a peek at the baby. We tried looking 2 weeks ago t find out what the baby might be but Baby was just too little so we couldn't be sure. Hopefully this weeks' ultrasound will be a little more informative. I can't wait to be a Mom. I know Wyatt's going to be an amazing daddy. He's been so great with me.He's been really understanding when it comes to me being exhausted all the time or gagging when he cooks meat. It's also been really fun for me to watch him get more excited about the baby. Sometimes he talks to my tummy or tells the baby goodnight when I have to go to bed. And after a long talk about how I think it's important that we take a class before the baby is born he has also started warming up to that idea as well. I can't wait till this baby comes in July. Life doesn't get much better than this I don't think!

HELLOOOO 2012

This last year has been absolutely crazy. There are definately things that have been really great about 2011 and things I'd rather forget but all in all I feel like we have a lot to look forward to with 2012. For everybody who didn't know.... WE'RE HAVING A BABY! We couldn't be more excited. Little baby McCandless is scheduled to arrive sometime around July 20th and we'll find out sometime in the next month and a half what we're having. Wyatt's been pretty excited about our little peanut. And although he would rather poke his eye out than go to a Lamaz class I'm sure he'll warm up to it .... We're also really excited because Wyatt will be graduating from BYU-I in April. Finally we'll be done with school and able to move on with our lives. Don't get me wrong i'm sure we've learned a lot of great things from him being in school and struggling as poor married students but I'm more than happy to finally just be able to be a mom and stay home and not work 2 jobs everyday.

We had a really great Christmas with Wyatt's family. On Christmas Eve we went to the McNair home for the family Christmas party complete with pork roast, salads, white elephant gifts, and ofcourse the family talent show/nativty. Afterwards we invited wyatt's family over to fill them in on our little surprise. We made cute Christmas cards that we wrapped with their christmas present that said "Merry Christmas: love Wyatt, Briana, and baby Mccandless (arriving July 2012)" It was so fun to watch them open it and the confused looks on their faces followed by " what... are you serious? no way.... OH MY GOSH!" We called my family earlier that day and had my mom and dad open their christmas present. They were sooo excited. I couldn't understand much of what was going on because of the screaming and yelling, but Haley walked around for awhile saying... " i'm going to be an aunt!" and my dad got a little teary eyed. I loved it!

For New year's we had a party with Lloyd, Sunni, Travis and Angie. We had a lot of fun playing the game "Things" and eating a bunch of junk food. We also had a lot of fun listening to Jagger (travis and angie's boy) try to convince all of us that he was Harry Potter. We stayed over till about 1 and made it home by 2. Luckily churched changed from 9 to 11 so we were able to get a couple extra hours of sleep.

At church we recieved a new calling. We are no longer in nursery (thank goodness.... we're worn out ) Wyatt and I will now be teaching the CTR 7 class together. I'm definately looking forward to the change and all of the fun things i'll learn from our new little class. 

 All in all I think there's going to be a lot of great things goin on in 2012 and I can't wait to see what the new year has instore for out little family.

9 months Of Craziness

Ok so i'm a slacker..... I always say that i'm going to be really dilligent about my blogging but life gets crazy and I forget. So I thought I would give a little update with some pictures......

This year Murphy discovered his love for outdoor carpet..... So far he's been an awesome dog. He's never chewed up anything but one day I came home and I found this little surprise. I wasn't very happy but deep down I had to agree with Murph that the carpet had to go..





My insulin levels have been all sorts of crazy. So in an effort to eat better and be healthy I've been experimenting with different recipes. On this particular night I was home alone and was CRAVING pizza. I tried to be good and created this beauty.... the crust is made out of ground flax seeds and the entire pizza only consists of 12 carbs. It definately hit the spot.



Along with trying to eat healthy i've been doing a lot of research on the best way to eat healthy. That's when I discovered eating clean... This book is AMAZING! It explains what different types of food do to your body and why certain foods make you bloated and others can get you that amazing body that everybody is after. I never really realized what a huge impact sugar, processed foods, and white flour has on your body or your metabolism. I also had a hard time believing that by eating more you could actually lose weight but it's really true. Another great thing about eating clean is that i've found foods that I love that normally I would never have eaten like..... brown rice, sweet potatos, dairy free cream cheese, and various fruits and vegetables. I think eating clean is definately something that we will institute in our family.





Wyatt finally got his truck....For about a year now we've had two white chevy's sitting in our driveway. One that runs and one that doesn't. Wyatt's original plan was to take the one that didn't run and eventually fix it up and convert it from a 2 door to a 4 door extended cab with a "souped" up motor and all the other things that guys talk about to make their trucks cool (apparently i need to learn a few mechanical words...) but anyway that was the original plan until wyatt found this beauty... He bought it for a screamin deal from a guy in wyoming. Not only does it run but it's already a 4 door and has a good engine so it'll save us time and money. Wyatt is soooo excited about his truck he even bought a Boston "B" decal and put it in the back window.. I guess the truck is now official and part of the family. I'm just super glad that both of the other chevy's are gone and we only have 1 truck in our driveway (that actually runs).

This summer my Mom, Emmy, and Haley came down to visit us. It was fun to have them stay at our house and visit for a few days. Justie wasn't able to come because she had dance and ended up staying home so when we went up to visit a few weeks later Wyatt, Murphy, and I took her out for a day by ourselves. We had a lot of fun hiking around Tubb's Hill and getting frozen yogurt at Jamz.

After a long crazy semester Wyatt and I decided to take a mini vacation and go to Salt Lake City for the weekend. We had a lot of fun eating Korean food, attending conference and just spending some quality time together. We were also able to meet up with one of his old mission companions along with his wife and baby and have dinner at a great Brazilian restaurant.

We now have a new addition to the McCandless family. Her name is Tess and she's one of the cutest puppies i've ever seen! She's an American Bulldog and she's going to be huge! she's only about 15 weeks old and she's almost as tall as murphy and her paws are quite a bit bigger. But she's super sweet and has lots of wrinkles. And her and Murphy have become best buds.  Something funny about Tess is that the cartilage in one of her ears was formed a little funny so her right ear never lays down. But i love it!

One of our more recent adventures has been the removal of Wyatt's tonsils. He got them out two weeks ago today and it's been a LOOOONG two weeks. The doctor said that they were some of the biggest tonsils he's ever seen. I saw them afterwards and I think he was right. They were HUGE!! Wyatt's been absolutely miserable and spent the first week on the couch in pain. Not only did he break out in cold sweats multiple times a day from his pain medicine but he also ended up living on soup, vitamin waters, and pudding. He couldn't even get mashed potatos down because they were too thick. Luckily he was able to eat some spaghetti last Saturday and things have been going uphill since then. I'm glad that he's doing so well now because he's going to be going to the SEMA show in vegas in the next week and it would've really been a bummer if he still wasn't feeling well and had to miss out on that.

SOMETHING FUN..... Wyatt taught me how to ride a dirt bike this last weekend! I'd never ridden one before and I LOVED it. We got a really really good deal on a couple dirt bikes from a guy in our ward and luckily one was just my size. I'm really glad that now we have something fun and inexpensive that we can do together.

Last but not least.... our prayers were answered.... After a long battle with BYU-Idaho wyatt finally has permission to graduate in April. The automotive department didn't want to accept wyatt's Spanish cluster because they thought that he should be "held to a standard" and they also didn't feel like spanish was applicable to his automotive degree... last time I checked hispanic people drove cars and needed them fixed too! They wanted Wyatt to find another cluster aka minor to take with his automotive degree  which would have put him in  school another year, made us have to find somewhere else to live, and it would have also put us into debt because we wouldn't have qualified for financial aid. Luckily tho after talking to everybody except for President Clark he was finally able to get it approved and it looks like we'll be moving down to Blackfoot in April!!! wooo hooo! Life is Good

HELLO 2011

Wow i haven't written anything in forever! So lately life has been pretty crazy. Since we last wrote we were able to go back to Coeur D Alene and see my family for christmas. It was great to be able to spend some time w them and just relax. Wyatt started back to school the beginning of this month. He's taking 21 credits so his schedule is rediculous. There's one night he doesn't get home till aroudn 10 and the rest of the week he doesn't get home till after 6:30 which is often followed by several hours of homework. I know he needs to go to school and i'm greatful he's working so hard to get done but i'll be soooo glad when he's finished! Work has been going good. I have been doing a lot of work over in the Physical Therapy department of the hospital and i've really liked it. The staff is great and it's nice to be able to build some awesome relationships w the patients. We also celebrated our 1 year anniversary. This last year has been so much fun and so crazy but i know that there's nobody i would've rather spent it with than Wyatt. He's so sweet and such a great husband. Not to mention he is always helping out around the house and finding small ways to make me feel special. I'm a lucky girl!

counting our blessings...

TODAY IS A WONDERFUL DAY! I applied at Mountain View Hospital for a job in their admissions department and we just found out today that I got it!! We're so happy and feel very blessed, because now we'll be able to have insurance while Wyatt is in school and a steady income. Happy DAY!

Yay for church callings!

Wyatt and I were just called to be nursery leaders for our ward! We're so incredibly excited and can't wait to get started. It's going to be so fun to get to know all of the little kids in our ward and i'm sure they'll give us something fun to talk about after church every week!

It's been forever...

It's been forever since our last post. But a lot has happened so I thought I should post something before I got even more behind....Well in the last few months, we moved.....AGAIN! Now we live in a cute little house in Lorenzo (just outside of Rigby). Wyatt started his internship at Rockford Motors in Blackfoot. He's also been super busy working on people's cars from our home.

We also added a 3rd member to the McCandless Family :) This is Murphy. He's been such a good puppy. We went down to Utah before our trip to Coeur D Alene to get him. He's always making us laugh and doing weird things but we love him.

We went to watch Heather take Haley's senior pictures. Heather always does an amazing job so if anyone needs some pictures taken call Paisley Studios! She took this picture of all of us after we got done watching Haley.

Thanks to Grandma Elaine, Wyatt, Mariah, and I all went to the demolition Derby at the Blackfoot Fair. It was super fun and SUPER WHITE TRASH! Nothing says "redneck" like watching tons of men and women in beat up junky cars crash into eachother as 2000 screaming fans watch. (half of which are completely wasted and laughing/ cheering uncontrollably). I think I had the most fun lookin at all the crazy haircuts people had. Such as the one pictured above.... I don't know who's cutting their hair but I should've started giving out my business card....

We went camping one weekend with Lloyd & Sunni, and Tate & Kylee. It was lots of fun just to be able to hang out down by the river with our dogs and roast marshmallows and tell stories and whatnot. But we did wake up in the morning to find that the tent all 6 of us had been sleeping in had shifted down hill about 3 feet (the boys didn't put in the stakes), and we'd also been visited by a wild animal who decided to claim us by marking our tent.

HUTCH GOT HOMECOMMING KING! We went to the football game and watched Wyatt's brother Hutch crowned as Snake River's Homecomming King. He didn't really want to be royalty in the first place but we were all glad he did it... and apprently so was the rest of Snake River High! Way to go Hutch!

Later the next night Lloyd, Sunni, Wyatt and I all decided to go out to dinner. But we thought we'd stop by the Herrick's house to see Tay before she left for her last homecomming dance. She looked so beautiful and from what we hear she had a lot of fun. After dinner we all just came back to the Herrick's house to hang out. I just love them. Sometimes you need to laugh a little and if you go there it's pretty much a guarantee you will :)

The Optimist

My cousins showed me this video and I thought it was a great way to start your day. We should all try and be a little more positive!

It's been awhile...

Wow it's really been quite awhile since my last post. We celebrated our birthdays! Wyatts was in May and mine was in June. Wyatt surprised me and took me to Skull Canyon for my birthday! I had never been there before. It's an old Canyon that has a lot of caves and old indian burial cliffs. The view was great and we were going to spend most of our time exploring all 5 canyons but once we got through 2 we looked and saw that we were almost out of gas so we're planning on going back later this month :)

Wyatt decided to clilmb up into a cave, It took me a little while but I made it.

We've also completely settled into our new apartment.We are in a fantastic ward and have met a lot of really great people. We've been so blessed to be put in a place that allows Wyatt to work on cars from our home instead of driving to Blackfoot all the time. We are also able to have people over for BBQ's in our backyard, and we are close to campus which is also great. We love it!

For the 4th of July we went up on Saturday with Wyatt's parents, Mariah, Hutch, and his Grandma and Grandpa to West Yellowstone. We spent the day window shopping and we also saw The Foreigner at the Playmill. It was so fun and so nice to be able to just get away for a little while. Later that night we met up with our friends Sunni and Lloyd Lee and watched the fireworks in Idaho Falls. They were amazing and it was entertaining to be able to do some people watching for a few hours before the show started. On Sunday we went to dinner at Wyatt's uncle and aunt's house here in Rexburg. The little boys all had just finished watching Avatar The Last Airbender so they were pretty excited to show me their powers. They asked me what powers i had so i told them "I have the FORCE". They'd never heard of that before so I was a hit! I should've thought about what I said before I said it tho because I then became their main source of entertainment for the next half an hour. It was pretty fun but trying to come up with new powers is a little tricky.

Another exciting thing is that my little brother got his mission call! He will be going to Lansing Michigan and reports to the MTC on August 18th. I wasn't quite sure what Lansing looked like but after googling some pictures I started to get a good idea. I'm so excited for Tyler to be able to serve in such a beautiful area, and I'm so proud of the choice he's made to go on a mission. He will be an amazing missionary. Well it looks like that's all the news for our little family for today. All is well in South East Idaho.

little update...

Things have been going pretty good for our little family. We found a new place to move into which we're really excited about. We'll be moving at the end of the month. I'm so excited to be in a family ward and to get out of our student ward! The place we're moving in to has a garage for Wyatt to work and a big back yard that i'm super excited about. We met our neighbors and they seem super nice. The husband is also a mechanic so he and Wyatt should get along pretty well. The weather here has also been beautiful for the last few days which has been wonderful! Other than trying to get things ready to move, working, and school not much has been going on. And for those of you who are wondering how Jillian Michaels 30 day shred is going... well it crashed and burned. I got really frustrated when I didn't see results right away so Jillian got put on the back burner. Maybe in awhile I'll pick up the dvd and try again but right now life has kinda just gotten in the way so we're taking a break. Hope all of you have an amazing day!

Go Dolphins!!! May 8, 2010

This weekend I had an incredible experience. My cousin Kylee helps to take care of several people in their home. One in particular has down syndrome and her name is Nellie. Nellie is part of the Gate City Dophins, a swimming team, and this last weekend she competed in the Special Olympics held on campus in Rexburg and we were invited to go. We spent the night before preparing for the special event by making huge signs that said "GO NELLY", creating t-shirts that said "Team Nellie" on the back, and then Kylee bought her some flowers and baloons. We were so excited and left for Rexburg early the next morning so that we could make sure we were on time for the opening ceremonies. As soon as we arrived we were greeted by happy faces of competitors and their family and friends. We were looking for Nellie when an older man who had downs saw us and said "Hi friends" and then gave us the biggest hug he could. It was a small gesture but it kind of left me a little emotional. He never met me or saw me in my life but he saw us as his friends and you could tell he really loved us. He really knew what it was like to have a Christ-like love for others.
After saying goodbye to our new friend we found Nellie and said hi. We told her all about our posters and showed her our shirts. She got excited and took a few pictures with us. She told me all about her boyfriend and how she rode the bus with all of her friends to rexburg. She has such a sweet spirit you just want to take her home. We soon found our way to the stands where we watched the opening ceremonies for each of the teams. I didn't expect to become a big baby but as each of the teams were introduced they came out on the track with their hands held high cheering. But it wasn't just for themselves, They would get just as excited for their team as they did every other team that was announced. A sweet girl who had some handicaps then sang the national anthem. Everyone down on the track joined in and then cheered loudly when it was all done. Becky, Kylee, and I all looked at eachother and couldn't help but be a little emotional. It was so neat to be able to feel of their sweet spirits.

 

After the opening ceremonies were done we headed inside to the pool to watch Nellie compete. She had 3 races. In her last races she swam 16 laps in the pool! I don't know about you but I know that I would have been huffing and puffing after one lap. She did so good!

 One thing that was really great was that even if the person who was competing came in last their team cheared for them as if they had just won first, and they were just so excited that they were able to finish. Nellie's step dad spent most of the day with us cheering for Nellie and telling us fun stories about her. We also made some new friends. There was a man who had a handicap who kept cheering for everyone and running up and down the length of the pool screaming "We got spirit yes we do! We got spirit how about you!?" Then he'd scream "WOOOO HOOOO!" He was hillarious and so happy. He also kept telling us about his friend Bryan that he met at the special Olympics in Seattle. They were so much fun to be around!

Our day soon wound down and Nellie finished her last race extreamly tired but happy because she did her best. We were all exhausted too from watching and being in a humid room for several hours but it was all worth it and a great way to spend the day. We left wishing that there was some way that we could take the sweet spirits of those that we met with us that day. One thing that we do know tho, was that we learned several lessons that day about loving others and what life is really all about. It's not about fancy clothes or trying to "one up" eachother, it's about loving new people for who they are and calling them your friends when you don't know them, and for cheering your team on even when you're losing, and it's about family.

The search continues...

Wow, It's been awhile since I blogged on here. We're currently in the process of looking for a new apartment. Our lease will be up at the village at the end of May. If we decide to stay our rent goes up $70.00! So staying there isn't really worth it. We're also going to be leaving tomorrow to go up to Northern Idaho to see my family for the weekend. Also my little cousin Karsten is gettin baptized so we're excited that we'll be there for that. Also, I found one of the most hillarious youtube videos! I think there's a pretty good chance that someday when we have kids they might be a little bit like this....

PLEASE!!!

Dear Rexburg Wind and Snow...
I hate your gutts! Please go away and stop ruining my day. I want to wear a t-shirt and flipflops everyday, I'd also like to put my winter coat away. Please don't play these cruel jokes on me anymore, just stay away for atleast 8 months and let me get warm!
Sincerely,
Briana

Jillian Michaels Shred......

"What have I gotten myself into?" Were the words that I kept repeating over and over in my head this morning as sweat was pouring down my face. Not only was I exhausted but I had Jillian Michaels telling me that I better not stop doing jumping jacks because there are 400lb. people who don't stop. When I went home to visit my family I was shopping with my mom and came across the Jillian Michaels work out dvd s and after hearing some testimonials from some family friends I thought "oh what the heck" and bought all three. Today was day 1 of 30 and I thought I was going to die. Luckily I only have 29 more to go. The workout is intense. I wouldn't suggest doing it first thing in the morning because when you're legs are shaking it makes standing up in the shower more difficult than it should be. And when your arms feel like jello brushing your hair is a chore. I'll let all of you know how it goes and at the end of this whole thing maybe i'll post before and after photos....

McCandless Update....

Well, we've been married now for almost 3 months. We're living in Rexburg while Wyatt goes to school, and I"m working at the Paul Mitchell School. Our apartment is super cute thanks to my mom who came over and helped me organize and unpack so I didn't have a mental breakdown. Wyatt's family lives in Blackfoot so I see them once in awhile if I go down to Blackfoot with Wyatt when he works on cars. My family is still at home in Post Falls and I miss them lots. But hopefully I'll be able to see them soon.

   

 Wyatt and I have decided to start a competition between the two of us...THE BIGGEST LOSER! To make it fair the winner wins by having the biggest percentage of weight lost. Not by the amount of poundage. I CAN'T WAIT TO WIN! ha ha. (hopefully) If Wyatt wins he gets $350.00 to spend on a "project" truck, and if I win I get to spend $350.00 on some new clothes etc. So far it's been pretty intense. There may be a little bit of trash talking in our apartment but we're having a lot of fun. And even if by some miracle Wyatt beats me it's ok cuz i'll look HOT! :) swimsuit here I come!

I Married My Best Friend

We're so happy to finally be together. We were married on Dec 11. 2009. in the Spokane WA Temple. It was so fun to have our friends and family there. The weather was great and it didn't snow. Afterwards we went to Boston's pizza and then our reception was in Post Falls later that night. A week later we had another reception in Blackfoot ID. I'm so thankful to have Wyatt. He really is my best friend and I don't know what I would do without him.
