Walk With Me...: ::Nineteen:A Year in Review ::

Nineteen. Its been a great year for me....for obvious reasons and not-so-obvious reasons. Here's a recap of my year in photos.

November 2010: I turn 19 and participate in my first collegiate musical.

"The Spitfire Grill"

I also go on my first date with my future husband on November 13.


...which ended in a grass fight.

We become an official couple on Nov. 21

December 2010: Chris and I continue dating & say "I love you." I spent Christmas at home with my family.

Before Chris left for N.Carolina for Christmas we went on an amazing date to Temple Square and we ate at the Garden

January 2011: I travel to St. George and perform in Spelling Bee at the Utah Theater Association Conference. Chris and I are engaged January 30th

February 2011: Spelling Bee performs at Westminster. Chris' mom and sister come and I meet them for the first time.

March 2011: Spring Break! I spend it wedding planning, including dress shopping.

Looking at the different styles with my future sister-in-law

Dress #6...skeptical about the slimmer fit as opposed to a fuller (ball gown) fit.

The veil wins me over

April 2011: Chris and I finally reside in the same state. :) We take engagement photos and prepare to move to South Carolina for our internship at Plantation Resort in Myrtle Beach. I finish up my last semester at Westminster College.

The Pie is our favorite place to eat.

May 2011: We make the move to South Carolina and begin working. I live at the resort and Chris lives with his Aunt & Uncle.

All the Interns got a free surf lesson

Friends who lived behind our condo

June 2011: Chris and I work hard and play hard.

Our favorite place to eat: the best Wendy's on the planet. Its clean, they play old music and there are fresh flowers on every table.

We got in free to the aquarium

July 2011: We take our beach bridal photos. I get a parasite in my ear (I'll spare you the photo) and experience the worst ear infection ever. Our last day of work is July 14. We spend a week in Fayetteville NC and then return home to Utah.

August 2011: I have 4 bridal showers in 3 days. Chris turns 23 and I take out my endowment on his birthday. We are married on 8/12/11 at 10:20am and it is the most perfect day. We spend 2 weeks on our honeymoon.

No editing has been done to any of these photos

September 2011: We move into our first apartment. I start my first semester of school. I love BYU-I and the special spirit that is here.

October 2011: We make a spontaneous trip to Utah for a weekend. We get our pell grants. Chris decides to apply to the paramedic program and I decide to go into Social Work (with the intent of doing marriage & family therapy).

We like to eat at Pizza Pie Cafe.

November 2011: I turn 20. I love married life and my life here in Rexburg. I have started a new blog, started exercising again, and have begun to learn to cook.
Looking back....I am a million miles away from where I would have thought I'd be a year ago. However, I am so happy and so blessed and wouldn't have changed a thing in the last year.
