Just have to Brag!

Who knew I was married to the SMARTEST man in his class? Michael has the highest grade in his Biology class and I am so PROUD of him!!! The semester is halfway over. Only 6 weeks left! We are happy knowing we are only getting closer and closer to our goals in education.

As far as Halloween went...As a couple we ended up going as Chuck Norris and a Ninja. I was the ninja of course with Norris (Michael) following close behind watching me closely to make sure there were no sudden deadly attacks :D Unfortunately Michael wasn't able to accompany me to the ward party so I went alone as SpongeBob. A fun costume to wear I say!

We are anxious for Thanksgiving break to come! More time to enjoy days off together! We are so happy to have each other. We sometimes have too much fun together :D

I will try to get some pictures up here soon of our costumes. We are terrible with remembering to take pictures...

Happy Fall everybody!

HALLOWEEN IS NEAR!

I was dusting off the bookshelves today, and when I picked up a photo album a couple pictures fell out. This is what I found! A cute picture of Lashley, me and Alene from 1988! Sometimes I think it would be so fun to go back in time and be a little girl again!

Michael and I have been trying to come up with new, fun costume ideas but just haven't found the perfect one yet. We've had lots of suggestions from family and friends but none of them have "clicked" yet. If any of you have any suggestions we would LOVE to hear them! Or if you know how to

make a Mr. and Mrs. Potato head costume let us know!

Micahel and I were Nacho and Sister Encarncion (Nun) from the movie, "Nacho Libre". We got some good laughs and had a blast playing their characters. What a fun night! Anyway I posted some pics hoping you would enjoy them. We still laugh when we see them! :) (Didn't Michael just look fantastic?)

Back to School

Our first month of school has passed. Michael will start his 3rd class this next week. I know he will just be GREAT! I took my first anatomy exam last night... Not sure how well I did on that lab part... I still am enjoying school. I like that I have something to preoccupy my time now. I love learning! I have a new appreciation for the little things that matter in life.

As far as work is going, well, we've both had our ups and down's. That's just how life goes I guess. I am grateful to have a husband like Michael who works so hard everyday so we can live happily. :D He is the BEST! Don't know what I would do without him!

(I forgot to post this way back when..)

Well we did it! We started school again this fall. Both Michael and I had our first day on Thursday. We made it :D I am taking just 2 classes this semester and sweet Michael will be a busy man with his full time schedule. Luckily 2 of his classes start later in the semester. One in October and one in November. That will reduce stress for him. (he is also working full time. Bless his heart!)

Sunday School

Well I did it! I taught my first Sunday school lesson! I was asked to substitute the 16-17 year old class. I was nervous but excited at the same time. Michael was a great support. Glad he was in the class with me. The "kids" were great! Now that we know them we hope we can help teach them again. What a great Sunday. Ready to have lunch and then our favorite... take a nap! I love knowing I have Michael all to myself on Sundays. Knowing that nothing will interfere. So grateful to be IN-love and to BE loved by a great guy!

HONEYMOON

This is us on our Honeymoon! We had a blast! We took a cruise down to Catalina Island, and Ensenada, Mexico. Both were beautiful! We highly recommend going on a cruise and can't wait to go on another.

This was our dinner couple! Kenneth and Shannon Hodgson. We were

thrilled to find out they were LDS! We enjoyed spending time

getting to know them. What a sweet and fun couple!
This was our second stop in Ensenada, Mexico.

This man danced ALL day for tourists in Ensenada, Mexico.

We couldn't help but get a picture with him.

Notice how he got close to me but not Michael..We thought it was pretty funny.

Our Ship! Our room was at the head of the ship

the 3rd or 4th row down.
Our first stop was in Catalina Island. So pretty!
Just the two of us being silly...:D
Right before we went back to our ship.

January 2nd...

will always be our favorite! What a wonderful day it was! Surrounded by family and friends was just the best. My sister Tania took FaBuLoUs pictures and we can't help but share a few. They are some of our favorites!
