OH WOW! So much to talk about. I know I am behind but since getting our house it seems I have been so busy busy busy. But have loved every minute of it.
Okay.. so we got a House!!! We moved in on Halloween. It was a perfect day to move. However there were several kids the rang our doorbell...(we didn't answer, we were exhausted from moving). We love our house, it is just the perfect size for Neil & I, and of course our little Koda (dog). It has 3 bedrooms and 1 1/2 baths. My front room and my Kitchen both have bay windows in them which is great for the extra room. Our little back yard is perfect for our dog. Fully fenced in and has a nice patio and shed. I would love to show you all pictures but my house is a mess and we have hardly any furniture. Soon we will be changing the furniture delema seeing as how we get $8000 back from the state for just buying a house! We are excited for that too. So when we do get more seating we will take some nice pictures. We have been here for two months and love it! Payson is such a nice small town. Its quiet and we can't wait till the summer to explore and enjoy it a little bit more.
On November 20th we celebrated our first anniversary!!! I can't believe we have been married for over a year!!! Its so crazy! We have been from poor poor college student and unemployed husband in the cold depths of Idaho to paying our very own mortgage. What a year we have been through. Its been so good for us tho. We have grown stronger and closer because of it. Not to mention have a greater respect for having jobs, and being a homeowner. We were very careful with our money and have invested it in the right things. I always tell Neil that I can't wait till we are old and married. I love him so much now and can only imagine what it will be like when we are wrinkled and brittle. ;)Our Holiday's were simply the best!! Last year it was hard for us because we were away from family for so much of them. This year we tried to be with family as much as we could. We were pretty busy with family parties and dinners...however I got a nasty cold on Christmas eve and am still trying to get over it. Despite the sickness, it was a very good holiday. It was nice to have 12 days off of work to get over it. Around New Years I was feeling quite a bit better and decided to throw a party at my house. We had over 11 people for dinner and it made me feel so good! More family!!! I was excited to cook for everyone and had a wonderful time counting down to the New Year. HAPPY 2010 EVERYONE!!!
And lastly I have been thinking the last few days about how wonderful my life is right now. I don't have any complaints (other than it could be a little bit warmer right now, 70 degrees could be nice, the snow doesn't make me happy). I am so happy with everything. I couldn't ask for anything more right now. I have been truly blest with the love of my life, a roof over my head, jobs that support us, and family that I love.
Hope all of your holidays were as great if not greater than mine. ;)
