3 years!

Jason and I celebrated our 3 year anniversary by going to his cousin's wedding and reception. It was a full day of wedding celebrations. We went to the ceremony which was outside and very beautiful and it made me feel so grateful that we are members of the church, that we were married in the temple, and that we get to be together forever. It was an interesting way to celebrate and it made me very grateful for the gospel.

In between the wedding and the reception we were able to go out to dinner with Jason's parents and his sister to one of his favorite restaurants.
We don't have any pictures of us yet (I'll need to get them) so I'll have to wait to post them.

Ronnie & Amber

A couple weeks after my cousin Emily's wedding, we went up to Montana to go to Jason's cousins wedding. This was my first wedding that wasn't in the Temple and it was really neat. It was somewhat like the movies, but not exactly. They had their own little things which were unique to them which made it a really neat ceremony.

Emily & Jake

My cousin Emily got married in June! Boy am I behind! Jason and I got to drive up to Idaho with my family and attend the wedding. It was my first time in the Boise temple. I knew it was going to be pretty, but I did have some hesitation because we were in Idaho... hehe. But the temple was beautiful inside! Way beyond my expectations. Anyways... here are some of my favorite pictures from the reception.
These are my images. Do not steal them.

Graduation...

As you know, Jason graduated in April and we are in the Denver area waiting for school to start for Jason. I am still finishing my last two classes online. When they are over in August I will have more time for blogging, among other things. Although I haven't officially graduated, I did walk at graduation in April and here are some pictures.


Not the best picture ever, but the best we have.

I am just glad to be so close to being finished. I am looking for jobs out here to have something to do during they day when Jason is at school. I hope I can find something that has to do with my major, but I guess anything I do will have something to do with my major so I don't really have to worry about that.

Anyways... It is time for me to do something else.
I'll finish catching up and then give another update on our apartment.

Moving

It has been very busy for us these past couple of weeks! I have been working on my classes and preparing to move. We leave Friday morning to Aurora, CO. From what I've read, it is about a 7 hour drive from Provo. We are both excited for Jason to start medical school. The area we will be moving to will only be a couple of blocks away from Jason's school, close enough to walk (I hope). The apartment we found is probably the thing I am most excited about. It's a 2bedroom 2bath apartment and it should be a little bigger than the place we are in now. Not that the place we are in now is small, but I am excited to have a little extra space. The thing that sold me on this particular apartment is the fact that it has a DISHWASHER and WASHER/DRYER in the apartment! Since we won't be living close to my parents we won't be able to use their washer/dryer, and I don't think it would be fun to go to the laundry-mat and sit there for a couple of hours waiting for our laundry. Anyways... another good thing about the apartment is that there is a Chipotle pretty much on the other side of our apartment complex. (There is also a pizza place, which I will want to try out)

Things I have yet to post about but will do so after the move (in order of occurrence):

Graduation

Emily's wedding

Ronnie's wedding

Our anniversary

Packing/moving/new apartment

Picture post!

Nasty snow storm that took out a ton of tree branches all over! I had to walk through/around those trees to get to class and back to my car, while branches were breaking and falling all around me. I feel very lucky none fell on me!

I made breakfast one day and wrote Jason's name with the olive oil.
We went to a new place called Cafe Paesan. It's like an italian cafe rio. The food is pretty good, and the interior of the building is really quite pretty. If you want to go check it out, it's in the same area as the Panda Express off State Street and Center in Orem.




And this is Mr. Pidge! Jason and I went to my mom's house and as we were walking up to the door Jason told me there was a bird. It took me a little bit to see it, but there he was, and I took a picture. My mom opened the door and said he had been hanging out in front of the house for a couple of days. He had a little number around his ankle so I believed he belonged to someone, so we called animal control and they sent someone over to pick up Mr. Pidge. We thought something might have been wrong with him, because he didn't fly away, but the animal control person said there was probably a bigger bird around trying to eat him. Anyways, here he is looking at his reflection.

The University of Colorado Denver School of Medicine

After much deliberation, we've decided to attend the University of Colorado Denver School of Medicine. We received confirmation yesterday that all tuition and fees will be covered. We only need to worry about living expenses for the next four years.
