Thanksgiving in Gunnison


We had a lot of fun in Gunnison this year for Thanksgiving. We played a lot of games and just had a really great time together as a family. It was my first thanksgiving to be away from my family and my mom's way of cooking Thanksgiving dinner. My Mom is such a good cook and I was really thankful this year to find out that my Mother in law is also a good cook and we had a delicious dinner. At this time of year it reminds me of how thankful I am for the blessings in my life. I am so thankful for first of all my amazing Husband and the wonderful first year we have had together. I had heard so many times before getting married that the first year is the hardest and I can honestly say that if thats true then I can't wait for many more years to come, cause this year has been bliss. I am also so thankful for my family and for the opportunity this year of getting to know better my inlaws. Me and Devin both came from amazing families of values and hard work and I am so thankful to not only have been born to the family I did but also to have married into the family that I did. How blessed are we to be surrounded by so many amazing people. We love you all and hope that this holiday season finds you all blessed and happy!

YUMMY Thanksgiving pies!

Sweet Baby Audrey!

While in California I got to spend a lot of time with my nieces and nephews. It was so much fun to live only 45 minutes from my sister JanL, 20 minutes from my sister Tini and an hour from my brother Kade. We did a lot of fun things while in Cali- including going to a corn maze and pumpkin patch, Going to Great America, and 2 trips to the Kenney Ranch in Northern Cali. We also got to help TiNille and Jason move into their new house and help Jason and Jan'L remodel their kitchen. We spent many nights up until 2 in the morning remodeling, but at the same time having fun. Me and Jan'L of course got a little giggly by 2 in the morning and were no longer that much help. Including putting on the wrong cabinet doors in the wrong places but that of course made us laugh even harder at how dumb we were. JanL, Tini, and I had some great adventures at the Park doing my trick on the swings, and also shopping. We had a really fun shopping trip to the Gap outlet with all three of us in the same handicapped dressing room with piles of jeans of the floor. I am so thankful I got to spend so much time with my Sisters and get to know the wonderful women they have become!

So for everyone that has been bugging me to update my blog, here it is! Sorry for taking so long!

Here are our official first year anniversary photos taken by my sister JanL. Thanks Sissy!

Since we have been married we have had many adventures together. We lived in Cedar City for 7 months, South Carolina for 5 months and are now living in California until December! It has been crazy moving around so much but we have enjoyed the many places we have been able to live! It really gives you a new perspective of "home", which we now know is definately UTAH! i can absolutely say we are living life to the fullest and years from now I know we will be thankful for our fun experiences before kids and the great time we have had being "just the two of us!" Here are a few pictures of our adventures this year!!!!

How we Began....

Once upon a time at Snow College Sarah sat down at the computer lab in the library and said Hi to the handsome boy sitting next to her. He flashed his dimples at her and that was the end of that, she was a goner! A year and four months later they were married in the Manti Temple for time and all eternity! And lived happily ever after...
