Home Sweet Home

One of my favorite memories of our first year of marriage was our first apartment. We got really lucky when we found it. It was in downtown Provo. During the school year it was an all girls apartment but, during the summer the owners would rent out the empty rooms to married couples. One of the greatest things about it, was how affordable it was. But as with most things that cheap, it of course came with it's little quirks!



Our first apartment!




I loved all the cupboard space it had! Our kitchen now doesn't have any space. We have to keep all our appliances in the spare bedroom!



We didn't have a dish washer in that apartment. Strangely enough we did the dishes more often when we didn't have one then now when we do!


This is Cameron cleaning the front room on the day we were moving out. The couches had their own little quirks to them. They had big holes in the back where the springs had popped out. Every time we sat down the springs would scratch the paint off the wall behind the couch. Despite the springs pointing out the back, those couches were pretty comfortable!



Oh, the wonderful bathroom! We had absolutely no water pressure. It was always a treat when we got to shower at either of our parent's houses! Cameron and I also decided that the toilet was a children's toilet. It was so low that every time you sat down, it felt like you were eating your knees! At least the shower head was taller than Cameron. Right now our shower head goes to my nose! Poor Cameron!




This was the spare bedroom. We had to keep the beds in it, so we just leaned them up against the wall to give us more floor space.

Have you also noticed the different colored carpet? Green and red! It's Christmas all year round!

But of all the quirks in the apartment, this was my favorite one...





We like to say that we had a king size bed the first 4 months we were married. But since we were living in an all girls apartment complex they only had twin beds. So, our "king size bed" was just 2 twins pushed together!

Ha Ha! I've done it!

First off, I just wanted to say congrats to me! I finally got this blog up and running! Now Cameron and I can prove to everyone else that we do have a life outside of school and work. It might not be much, but a life none the less!
Cameron and I have been married for almost a year now! Neither one of us can believe how fast the time has flown. We've had a lot of unexpected surprises since we started this new adventure of marriage together. I really think Cameron was shocked when we moved into our first apartment and he realized, not all girls can decorate! Sorry honey! But of all the surprises we've had we both agree that the best one was when we found out we were expecting. I am now 23 weeks along and we are having a baby boy! We couldn't be happier.

I was thinking about starting our blog from this point in our marriage and then to move on from here, but then I decided it would be fun to go back to the beginning and do a recap of the fun things we've done since being sealed together in the Bountiful Temple!

May 8, 2009 The Beginning!
We got married on a gorgeous day in the Bountiful Temple. These are some of my favorite moments that day!

This is as we were coming out the doors of the Temple.













This is me with my mother and grandmother!








They almost dropped me!




One of my favorite pictures from that day!!!






Some of the nephews I inherited!



Who thinks my dress is gorgeous? Yeah, I thought so!



Me and my new sisters, minus one! Hot stuff, woo woo!



Always take time to smell the flowers!



Cameron and his parents.



Me with my parents.



Like I said, it was a beautiful day!

There are lots more pictures and I'll probably post them during a week when nothing else has really happened. I guess that's the bonus of starting my blog this late into our marriage, I'll always have something to fall back on!
