Idaho

Josh and I went to Idaho for Thanksgiving. I got to meet the other side of his family. We had so much fun. I almost froze to death. The warmest it got was 41 degrees the whole time we were there....I am an Arizona girl and not used to that weather. I tried to be brave but was constantly hurrying to get inside wherever we went. I really enjoyed getting to meet his family and having Thanksgiving with them. It was nice to be around family and be in a small town in the country again for a few days. I get tired of the city sometimes so it was a nice break to get away. We didn't see any snow but got to go to Rexburg and see the new temple and also I got to see the Idaho Falls Temple. Hopefully we can go back soon....in the summer :)

My first trip to Idaho! This is the furthest North I have ever been.


The new Rexburg Temple. It is gorgeous!


Josh and I in front of Idaho Falls. You can see the Idaho Falls Temple in the background.


Josh playing Guitar Hero. This was hilarious to watch. We played at Josh's friend Aaron's house and became addicted. We ended up buying it as an early Christmas present before we left Idaho :) Josh hasn't stopped playing it since.


Shooting guns in the backyard. I haven't gone shooting in a very long time.


Josh shooting some of his grandpa's old black powder guns.


Our nieces and nephew!


I got a ride on the back of Josh's dad's new baby :)


Josh doing what he does best...I think the kids won :)

Apple Picking

A few weekends ago Josh and I went to Safford and spent some time with Tasha and Jared and the kids. Josh, Tasha, the kids and I all went up to the apple orchard on Mt. Graham and picked apples. We had a lot of fun! The kids are such good helpers.

State Fair and WEEZER!!!!!!!!!

My birthday is in November and Josh surprised me with tickets to the Weezer concert at the State Fair! I love him so much!!! We decided to make a day of it so we spent the entire day at the fair and invited the Lorenzos (I work with Steve) to come along. We had a fun, long day :) The concert was absolutely amazing! I have seen
Weezer live several times (they are my absolute favorite) but they were exceptionally good on Saturday! I loved it...danced and sang along the whole concert. I'm sure Josh thinks I am

a nerd now but hey he loves me....he has too :) I'm so grateful for him and all that he does for me. I love that I can be myself and he loves all of me. It means more than I can even express. He is my best friend and I love having these experiences together!
My talented Josh can take pictures and ride rides at the same time :)

Weezer:)

SHE THEN PROCEEDED TO USE HER FEMININE WILES AND I THINK SOME PHEROMONES MIXED IN HER PERFUME TO COAX KISSES OUT OF MY LIPS!!! SHE SNUGGLED AND PRESSED HERSELF AGAINST ME, DESTROYING ANY THOUGHT OF RESTRAINT....SHE BATTED HER BEAUTIFUL EYES AND FLIPPED HER HAIR. THEN SHE KISSED ME! SHE KNEW WHAT SHE WAS DOING !!!! VERY SNEAKY!! DON'T TRUST HER!!! HOT GIRL, SNEAKY IRRESISTIBLE TACTICS.

Our Trip to the Zoo

Josh and I went to the Phoenix Zoo a few weeks ago on National Museum Day. There were free passes online so it didn't cost us anything :) We had so much fun seeing all the animals and seeing and hearing all the little kids say funny things around us. They kept us laughing all day! Josh loved the monkeys. They have a place where you go down in and the monkeys are right there by you. They were so cute!
Me and the zebras

Well, I finally gave in and created our blog. I was going to wait until we were married but at this point we don't really know how long the wait will be so here goes :)
