hectic week...

life for braden and i has ultimately been... CRAZY. 

thats simply the only way to put it. 

these last 6 months have been so insane trying to build our house!

but last week..

the time came..

we FINALLY got to move in!

and it is WONDERFUL! 

we absolutely love it.

i feel so loved. and so blessed to have such a beautiful home.

i will have to put up pictures of it later. 

right now i need to decorate a little more and then it will be blog-appropriate!

because the last week has been so hectic, we finally sat down on thursday night to have 

a lovely dinner at Olive Garden :]

but this week has been so much fun because i have gotten to go shopping every. single. day!

(probably wont happen this week, because i am running out of money)

but my old roommate melanie spend the afternoon with me getting stuff for the house!!

thanks mel!!

after the crazy week, we came home to idaho.

mainly for braden to go to drill for the army. but also to see our wonderful families!

so yes, this is how i spent my weekend.

while braden is being all sorts of perfect, serving our country.. 

i am going to a baby shower with my sister kassidy and blowing bubbles in the backseat...

i must say...

wouldnt trade it for anything!! 

after spending time with my family, 

we went to Idaho Falls to spend some time with his family!

we had a blast! 

(no this is not the picture from this weekend, but we didnt take one, so i used an old picture...)

anyways... they are GREAT!!!

now back to logan for another crazy work of school, work, and house decorating!!

oh and of course... being the HAPPIEST MARRIED COUPLE EVER!

xoxo

obsessive picture taking...

so braden and i enjoy taking pictures whenever we get in the car.

and i mean EVERY SINGLE TIME.

date night!

two month mark dinner!

umm no idea on this one.

off to church!

another date night!

coming home from the cabin!

another date night!

church again!

but sometimes... we are normal, and take pictures ACTUALLY doing things

...

like the first day of school!

and watching football!

and going to the gym!

and eating delicious twizle berry

but this one time... i got a flat tire...

no worries...

he rescued me :]

(note: arm muscle)

we go to parades :]

and the temple :]

and hang out in front of the sunset!

all in all...

married life is WONDERFUL!!!

two weeks alone...

so when we got off our honeymoon... 

we came back to a harsh reality.

i went to bountiful for a rough two week CNA course

while braden moved to logan to find a job.

after i got done with the two weeks,

we reunited!

for only a few days.

braden then left for WLC (army training thing in boise)

for TWO weeks. talk about one month apart!

anyways,

i had to find ways to keep myself occupied.

and that. i did! :]

i ate. lots.

donuts. are. good.

and eating them with my sister makes them even better! 

i have these two best friends... who took me swimming :] 

 and we went to lunch...

 and to dinner...

 and then headed for dessert...

at KIWI LOCO!!!

 then hail and i went to a wedding! :]

coop and i had dinner! 

 and hung out :] it was wonderful!

 kass and i were then reunited once more.

and that.... i decided to go visit my friend alyssa. 

also, while braden was gone...

i went and saw his mom!!!!

then i went to salt lake to visit our cute niece RILEY!!! 

and thus ended my two weeks alone!

braden returned :] and it was wonderful!
