new blog

So since I've been married for 9 months, I figured I would start a new blog with my new name. We have been up to so much since I last posted. I haven't posted for so long that I forgot how to do anything on here!
I wanted to start a new blog so I can have a better way to have a journal of our lives, I figured this is the easiest way to do it. Plus I don't think anyone really follows my blog so it will be just for us.

I love being married and living in Salt Lake. There's so much to do here and everything is so close! our front yard includes Cafe Rio, Panda Express, Target and just across the street from that there is Chipotle, Red Mango, and a whole lot more! It's wondrous!!  We love the people that live near us... well minus the upstairs neighbors that have a dog that barks like CRAZY when they aren't home (we still love you guys though) and the person that is up at 3 a.m. knocking on the railing waking me up! Oh and the people that leave their dogs crap laying out there, so my dog can go lick it and lets not forget the guy that smokes on his patio and leaves his butts on the grass... BUT other than that we love where we live. Ha, but really its a great place to live. We love our ward, even the old people. They are fun to have around. We wish we hung out with the young couples in the ward more.
Since We have been married I have finished hair school, we got a dog, we have had MANY weddings in the family and have had great times with both of our families. (pictures to follow)
I have also been trying to find a job, slowly.... and have had alot of time to be at home with our puppy. He is very spoiled! But I got to teach him to be a good puppy and he listens very well (except when little kids are around)  Dexter can sit and lay and knows "kennel" real well. He rings a bell by the door to let us know when he needs to go outside to go potty. Once we are out there when we say"go potty" he will do his duty and we can go back inside. What a great puppy huh!! ya my dog is better than yours :)
So we have had alot of fun this past year and can't wait for the summer to be here!

 dexter broke his foot. He had to wear a splint for 5 weeks. :( surprisingly he walked just fine, if not better with it!

 We have a monthly game night with some couples every month. We have so much fun at these!

So there you go. In a nut shell, this is what we have been up to. ( actually not even close to what we have been up to, but that would take forever to blog about and really, I'm too lazy to write it all out)
