1 Year Anniversary - October 4th, 2008

October 4th- My one year anniversary and I can't even believe it. As I was preparing to type this I was brainstorming this last year and am shocked at how much Ryan and I have experienced in just the first year of marriage and even more shocked at how fast it went! It is amazing how even with all of the ups and downs, how everyday and through every experience you can continue to fall in love with the same person over and over again. I know that sounds sappy and straight out of a chick flick, but it is true and I love MY husband more and more as each day passes. Here is a quick over view of our FIRST year together...

1. Dating on and off for 5 years2. Living apart while I was in school in IDAHO/UTAH
3. The Engagement

16. New Jobs - Kadlec/Nouveau
17. Watching our Beautiful Daughter Grow18. Becoming a new little family and our 1 year anniversary =)19. 20.... And So many more memories continuing to come...

I am so grateful to supportive family and friends and examples of good relationships/marriages that our parents, and grand parents have shown us. I remember on my wedding day my Uncle Tom who married us explained it as a legacy and a heritage that we have. It is uncommon to have long lasting, successful marriages these days. In our families we have an abundance of that and because of that I know we are so blessed. I love my husband more than anything and our beautiful daughter. I feel so lucky and as though I truly have it all. I am so excited for this roller coaster of life that Ryan and I have to look forward to. =)

Congratulations to us!!! I love you Ryan <3

Laughing and Happy :)

Here are two new pictures of Emma and Ryan. They are so cute. Tomorrow is our 1 year anniversary and I had one of the pictures of them together framed for him and then one made into a wallet so he could always have her with him. I can't believe it is a year already, and we have a daughter! So crazy! We are so blessed and I just love them to pieces. I am the luckiest girl in the World...

Beautiful Baby Emma.

Amelia in Town

Christine and Amelia.

This last two weeks Ryan and my niece Amelia has been in town. We don't get to see her very much so when she is here it is quite the treat =)

She has become good friends with our other niece Christine from the wedding and other times that she was here. So on Friday we had a play date and had so much fun! We painted toe nails, watched movies, went to McDonald's and ate lunch and played on the toys and then played some more at Nana's house. They are so cute, with their sassy/bossy 4 year old personalities. I hope they had as much fun as I did and continue to want to play together whenever Amelia is here. Here are some pictures of our Day...


Hot pink nails with white flowers.


Playing in the McDonald Play House.


Sliding Down the Slide.

It was a success. They had fun, played hard, fought hard like girls do and passed out when everything was said and done, ha ha. It was great. :)

The Spa

Work has been going great. At first I didn't think I would pick up clients too quickly, but they seem to keep me busy and I am glad. It was extremely nerve racking in the beginning. It has been a while since I have been in the Spa atmosphere and I am more used to the medical environment, but I am so grateful for a good job, great coworkers and the opportunity to do what I love. And... I was amazed at how everything comes back so quickly! I had a training day on Tuesday and I was able to get a Vitamin C peel and Microdermabrasian to feel the product that they use and the machine. It was awesome! In school they never let us combine the two, but when they are put together it is such a powerful and awesome treatment. My skin needed that after having a baby and I feel great. The stress from a new job didn't help my skin either, so hopefully it clears up great.

Leaving Emma is still hard, but I am so lucky to have my Mom and Mother-in-law Kim to watch her. They are so good to me and Emma does great with them, sometimes even better than when she is with me, ha ha. I miss her when I am at work, but I know she is in good hands and I am so grateful for the help. Thank you!

Hopefully as time goes on and I become a regular I will pick up more clients. The Holidays are coming so I hope to be plenty busy!!! If you are bored, come visit me at Nouveau. =)

Here we come Halloween :)

I have been working on a few beanies for baby gifts whenever I can manage to find the time. Here is my latest. It is a pumpkin if you can't tell and there is a brown stem on the top if you can't see it that well on your computer. I think it is one of the cutest yet, and I just can't resist taking pictures when it turns out this cute, and the cUtEsT bAbY in the world just makes it that much better. =)

I love FALL, the colors, the leaves falling off of trees, warm and delicious soups, comfy clothes and the many layers of sweatshirts/scarfs/beanies, cloudy cold days where you can cuddle up to your loved ones. It is the best, brings happiness to my heart <3 and I can't wait for the Holidays and what is to come this fall. Although if I say so myself... I love October the best because coming soon is my 1 year anniversary. =)



Pretty PUMPKIN Girl

Now for my newest project - Crocheting Christmas Stockings - Oh the possibilities...

Ryan's new TOY

Ryan recently traded his Jeep Wrangler for a Suzuki Samuri. The Samuri was ready to go wheeling and is a vehicle he has always wanted. If any of you know my husband you know he is a car addict. I figure that I have to get excited with him so it doesn't drive me anymore nuts than it already does. Oh how I love him... :)


Camo seems so perfect being the Hunter that he is, ha ha.

Rub a Dub Dub!

Emma Loves Bath Time. Although, it is a lot of work for Mommy and Daddy cleaning in between all of those rolls...

Loving it!

Wow! Check out all those rolls!!!
