Update

I've had so many people say lately, "Why haven't you updated your blog??" So I decided it was about time to let you know what we've been up to. We've been so busy with life that I haven't had time to even think about blogging! I think it's only fair to start with the most exciting event!
Bingo...... About two weeks ago I got in a car accident. I was turning out of our apartment waiting for cars to pass to turn left when a car ran the red light on Highland Drive and T-boned me. It was pretty scary! If the car would have hit me about a foot more to the right, it would be fair to say I might not be here right now, but luckily it didn't! It hit me in the driver's side wheel and the wheel took most the impact, and I walked away with some bumps, bruises and soreness, but that's it. We are pretty sure the car is totaled, but we are still waiting for the insurance agency to decide that (yes, two weeks later, still waiting on that decision).

















We went up to Idaho last night to drop off my Aunt Donna's car to be worked on and to also get some information on some cars we are interested in buying from a family friend, if they decide my car is totaled. Donna had a last minute death in her ward she had to stay home for so we went up with out her. When we checked in we let them know we didn't need a room with 2 queens anymore so they said they had a room with one king in it that had a view, not that there was much to see! When we got up to the room we opened the curtains and the Idaho Falls Temple was right across the street, it was so beautiful!













Valentine's Day..... It was our first Valentine's Day together being married. We went out with Tyler and Heidi to Benihana's (Heidi's and my favorite restaurant) and to a movie, Confessions of a Shopaholic, which was very funny! Bart sent me beautiful flowers for 'the best wife ever' :) He also bought me a couple games and another charm for my charm bracelet, so cute! I bought him Mario Kart for the Wii, his favorite game. I also tried making chocolate covered strawberries, but just my luck, the chocolate went all sticky and never hardened. I gave them to him anyway so he knew I tried!

Christmas..... Our first Christmas together was awesome! I feel like I have the best husband in the whole world who spoiled me to death! I have to admit, with it being our first Christmas, I was a little worried about how things would be and if we would buy the same amount for each other, but it all turned out perfect! We bought the cutest little tree that I begged on Thanksgiving to put up and begged on New Years to keep up! It was fun to have our first tree and decorate our house! We both got so many presents I can't even name them all. It was the best Christmas ever though!
So that's the update, I know too much hasn't happened! But now you will all stop asking me to update my blog! :)

I know that you already told me about your accident but seeing these pictures made it so real. It looks like your car is in pretty bad shape, so sorry that happened to you. That intersection is always scary let alone when idiotic drivers are running red lights. But atleast your hotel room in Idaho had a view, that Temple is stunning!
I loved seeing pictures from your 1st holidays together as a married couple. Enjoy these days, they certainly don't last forever and one day you will look back at your first apartment with your little Christmas tree and think "Those were the days!"
You and Bart are so darling together, I loved seeing you guys last weekend and I am excited to see you in July when I come up for Jen's baby shower!
