♥ Time to Play Catch Up.

Okay, it's official, I am terrible at blogging.  I know only three people read this, but still, I've been slacking majorly. 

For starters, things really could not be going better for the two of us!! We just celebrated our one year anniversary on May 14th, and are happier now then we were our wedding day.  Marriage really is the best decision I've ever made.  There is nothing better than having a partner to help you get through all the tough times but also a best friend to have sleepovers with every night.  Brooks is the best friend I've ever had and I am still amazed he has managed to stick with me this long!

As of lately, Brooks is glad to be on his last year of BYU and can't wait to move on to Physical Therapy school!  He is working AND going to school full time and I could not be more proud of him.  I'm currently working at a law office and am enrolled in a Medical Assisting program!  Things are pretty crazy for us but we can always find time to be together and relax.  We've spent this past year really getting to know each other, working on our strengths and weaknesses, and just enjoying our time together! Here is just a small portion of memories from this last school year.

One of the BYU Football games we attended this past year.
 Seeing Taylor Swift in concert, hands down greatest gift my dad has ever given me.
 Spending Christmas with the Reynolds.
 Dropping this lovely off at the MTC for an 18 month LDS mission.
 Valentines Day.
 Brooks Birthday.
 Seeing my incredible sister on a mission.
 Easter with my love.
The birth of my second niece, Genevieve.
 Mini-moon to Park City.
 Celebrating our one year anniversary.


 Now, anyone who knows me knows I'm a sucker for animals.  Especially dogs.  A week or so after Thanksgiving my dear pup Titan passed on and I was devastated.  Ever since then I have been begging Brooks to get me a dog so I could have some company when he's gone!  Now, I have always been a big dog person (Titan weighed more than I did), and I never liked little dogs.  I always thought they were annoying, even though they do look cute.  Now, since we live in a little apartment, a big dog is out of the question, and Brooks is allergic to cats, so for fun we went to the local pet shop and looked at puppies!  Well, Brooks later found out that was a terrible idea because the first puppy I picked up I could not put down.  There was just something so sweet about him that got to me and I begged Brooks to let me keep him..... and, being the sucker he is, he did =]  So yes, our little family of two has grown to three!  Well, more like two and a half, haha.  We named him Sonic and he really is keeper.  I knew we made a good decision when the Vet told us he had never met a Pomeranian as sweet and docile as Sonic was! He is very affectionate and never barks, so now we just have to get the potty training down haha.  It's so nice to have some love when Brooks is gone, and he can hold me over until we have a place big enough for a big dog =]  

Here are some pics of our first "baby."

Bringing him home to meet some friends!
 First day at the vet!
 His favorite naughty toy.
 Perfect definition for a lap dog.
 Sunday walks.
 Sonic loves Brooks.
 Love coming home from school to this guy!

So I guess we are officially "little dog" people, but don't worry, I don't carry him in my purse and I won't dress him.

There really hasn't been too much besides that, just busy, everyday life!  We are very happy and are excited to wrap up our adventures here in Utah!  I really will try harder to keep a better record of events! Till next time!
