Our Life Together

Rexburg, ID, United States
We've been married for 5 years! We met here in Rexburg, Idaho where we lived in the same apartment complex, volunteered with similar church callings, and attended the same university. It was only a matter of time before we'd bump into each other! Kelly graduated with her bachelors in psychology and has since been working with mentally ill adults and children. She has been accepted to Drexel Univeristy for her Masters in Higher Education Administration and Organizational Management. Sam recently graduated from Brigham Young University-Idaho with his bachelors in English Literature. We've had so much fun and so many growing experiences in the past 5 years, and have weathered so much good and bad during our young marriage. And we love each other so much more as a result of the happy and sad experiences that we have gone through hand in hand with each other and with the Savior. Our life is a simple one, but it's ours and we're glad to have it.

Thanksgiving

Sam and I spent a quiet Thanksgiving at home. He had caught a cold this week, so we had to cancel our plans to spend time with friends down in Rigby, about 15 minutes south of us. So while he rested I made a traditional Thanksgiving dinner, entirely too big for us, but we're not complaining ;) We watched the Polar Express and the Santa Clause and had a nice evening together. And we were especially happy to have our little Josie with us, who loved staying by my side in the kitchen and smelling the various foods!

On Black Friday we decided to play it smart and we did our holiday shopping online. Great sales and no crowds! We also went and watched 2012. It was a good movie, very suspenseful! A little end of the world theme to brighten the holidays, lol!

With our Christmas shopping almost entirely finished (this is early and a first for us!), and with this being my last week of school for the semester, I think Sam and I are looking forward to spending extra time together this Christmas season, and just taking life a little slower than the past few months have been.
