MERRY CHRISTMAS

Okay, so some of these aren't upright, but hey, at least they are here right?

Here's the full view... sideways :)
This is an ornament we got from my sis-in-law Charlie!!

This is blury... but this is a ornament from my mother in law! It is soo cute!

This is one from my sis-in-law Charlie as well!!

We had such a good time putting up our tree! I really feel like it is Christmas now that we have a tree and I only have one final left! wahoo! it's only turning in a 30+ page paper... no big thing! NOT!!! Anyway, I'll try and stay a little more updated... MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Oh p.s. Lance and I spoke in church this past sunday and we actually had a GREAT Time!

Oh Christmas TREE!!!

We have finally gotten our Christmas tree up and it looks so CUTE! We got some hand me down ornaments from my sister in law and my mother in law and they are SO cute. I am grateful to have such giving in laws! So we cut down our tree in Hells Canyon and we had a hard time deciding which one to chop down, there were so many. So we finally decided on one and it looks great. I really like the Ames tradition to cut down a Christmas tree and it was a lot of fun! We got our tag from the forest service. It really feels like Christmas now that we have a tree, I love the ambiance of the lights when it is early in the morning or late at night.
I'll upload a pic later.

2 weddings in 90 days

The Bradley house is finally at rest... 2 weddings in 90 days... Leave it to us to have something like that.. anyway.. the wedding was interesting. We got late start because the grooms parents were late and it was hard to see my sister get married because she is so young! Everything went well and I hope she is having fun! This is my last week of student teaching and I am learning so much about ancient civilizations it is interesting to see how the kids are so fascinated and really connecting with the lessons!! Lance has been so great! This weekend he cleaned out a lot of our clutter and he is just so great! I love him so so so much. Right now my stress release is watching Grey's Anatomy... season two ... disc four haha .. anyway off to do homework- gotta love it baby!!

love love love...

As my mantra always is.... MY LIFE IS CRAZY!!! I am glad that I have a great husband to cheer me on! He has been making dinner this whole week and I am loving every minute. I am just wanted to get the next year and a half to get over so I can be a teacher finally! So, anyway kelsey is getting married on friday, we'll have to see how it goes...

thank YOU!

Okay ... this is kinda small but anyway, this is our thankyou card! ... I thought it was reallycute!
Anyway... just had a free second to upload something... hope you are having a good saturday!

AHH

So life is going crazy!! I really am just doing school, homework, work and thinking of interesting meals to make. Any suggestions just let me know! I think lance is getting sick of the 4 things I can make, all except one comes out of a box. Anyway, I did something out of the ordinary for me and make cupcakes, it reminded me of good ol' parkway and my best room-mate ever, OLIVIA! Then I started missing my parkway shower, that shower was soo good and stayed warm for hours.. anyway I am turning into a super nerd. I really am. Like making up songs to times tables and like getting ready to be a teacher stuff. I am feeling total nerd.
Oh and Abby got baptized! my brother got to baptized her! It was really special.. oh and wait there's more... Kelsey is getting married... that's all I have time to write.. to be continued...

YELLOWSTONE(honeymoon)

This pic is prized as my best picture!

I really love this one! What was particularly cool was the harley guys behind us

they got so close to those bison it was insane! They followed us around the

loop we made and it was fun getting to know them. They are just 4 guys from oklahoma and they just deiceded to make a trip of it. They all took turns driving the truck/trailor and riding their sweet rides! -besides it being our honeymoon I loved the BISON the most!!

This is my sweet-a pic. Lance and I pulled over at every stop we could.

The loop was supposed to take you 2 hour to drive and it took us about 4

because we couldn't pass up all of the wildlife and the beautiful scenes!!!
like this lilypad!

Then.. it's sorta blury but that was us the first night there! We just set up camp! whaoo! I really felt like a bonified couple now that we have gone camping!

Lance is such a hottie!

Oh how time flies!

Well it's almost been a month since I've blogged!! Luckily Lance and I got some wireless Internet because our nice town of PAYSON doesn't get any high speed anything. Crazy. Well we are back into reality from our honeymoon and we are just going crazy busy with work and me-school. So we will have some pictures up soon when I upload them!! But we went to Yellowstone and a place in Park City called The Chateaux at Silver Lake. In Yellowstone we saw tons of Bison and Elk. It was a great time going on our first trip as a couple! I love Lance and he works so hard! He is such a great guy!

Engagement Pictures

This is the one we chose for our announcement.

Here are some of our pictures we got taken around the end of June. We got them taken in Logan by our family friend and I think he did a great job!
I really like how they turned out.

This is our dog DOC. He's a German Wire Hair and is so cute. He is very loving and really likes to show you his toy (like the one in his mouth). He's a bird dog and Lance does dog trials and hunts with him. I just like to teach him tricks like "shaking" ... that's the only one so far... but Lance teaches him all of the discipline. He is such a good dog and we really like having him around!!!

This is Lance.. what a hunk!

This was were the Ames Family Reunion took place. BEAUTIFUL!! It's this lodge that is smack dab by a canyon of sorts and is very very pretty. You are just right up against the rock and it was very nice. The place was called Camelot and was just past Strawberry.

I LOVE this pic.

This was my first time fishing... and I really like it. Lance likes to fly fish.. none of the worm on a hook stuff. He is really good at it and he was very patient in teaching me. He even bought me some waiters and boots I could go with him. We didn't catch anything, and weren't really expecting to, Lance was just showing me the reel. We were at his family reunion in this pic.. and i love my face .. haha.

Blog Virgin

I've just jumped on the Blog Bandwagon-and can't wait for the addiction to start...
Today has been a glorious day... I got a facial and put in my two weeks notice at the hospital! Wha-hooo seriously the hospital has sucked the life out of me for the last two years and I can not wait to NOT work there. I am a sucker though because I agreed to work Monday, Wednesday, Friday for 4 hours till Lance and I get married...and so they aren't left high and dry to train someone to do my boring, simplistic job. Also, today Lance and I ordered the flowers for our wedding and now that we are under a month away it's all seems to be real...
Lance is an Electrician and he loves his job and the guys he works with. He is such a hard worker and I really admire that about him. He is fully invested in everything he does and I thank him everyday for helping me try new things ... such as Wakeboarding!
We love our dog Doc, he is a German Wire-Hair hunting bird dog. So those of you who know me.. know that I don't hunt, thus the dog is really Lances ... but I love him all the same. He is a super loving dog that likes to cuddle and he is just so cute.. despite what people say, we love him. It was so funny last summer, we were on a hike and a little girl points at Doc and screams "THAT'S AN UGLY DOG MAMA!!" even though our feelings were a little dinged by it.. we still love him...
