Covering the Basics.

What a year, and it's not even half way over! To start and to rewind a little bit, Austin and I began dating back in January of 2012. One thing everyone always asks us, "How did you guys meet?!" ... And we never know what to say. My family and his have always been close friends and Austin and I have always know of each other... Meaning, we didn't actually start talking until Austin had been home from his mission for a couple months. After that, the rest is history and we were then married on January 4, 2013 in the Boise Temple. Without a doubt, the best decision I have ever made. From there, we moved into our adorable farmhouse, as we like to call it, that we are so blessed to have available for us from Austin's parents, Sean & Dini. We have made some of the best memories while here, that I cannot wait to tell our future kids. Regarding anything from our freezing nights because we forgot to reload the pellets, or our freezing showers because our pipes froze... And for anyone that knows me, I HATE being cold, but needless to say these were all experiences I wouldn't trade for the world and wouldn't have wanted to share with anyone else of course. From getting married, we went right back to reality as we both are full time students, Austin at College of Idaho and myself at Boise State. With that I also work full time and Austin is a full time student athlete, so it's safe to say we stay pretty busy.
Immediately following the end of semester, (only three weeks away, yikes!), Austin and I are driving to Texas to work for the summer with a company called Alterra. This is such a great opportunity for us to make money for school and the following year. I'm hoping this blog will be a way for us to update family and friends on our sure to be exciting three and a half months in Houston. I just have to say how grateful I am for our support system. We are so blessed with our amazing families and all that they do for us. We can't wait to make you guys proud!
