Kiwi






We waited for this pup, for a long time. We met her mommy before she was even pregnant. We then followed her as she was pregnant and finally had the puppies. We could not wait, we had planned to get a dog since we got married and we finally did. She didn't even weigh a pound when we got her. She has done really good with potty training and is such a sweet dog. She keeps us company, especially if one of us isn't home.

Car Troubles


Logan and I decided to sale my car, so we just had one car left. He had a honda civic. It started having some problems, we took it to a mechanic, and put a lot of money and repairs into it. We went to California for his best friends wedding about a week later. By the time we got to cedar city our car overheated clear to the red zone and started steaming from the engine. Lovely, we didn't know that this was just the beginning. We took it to another mechanic, he put in a new radiator because our cap wouldn't make a seal. Our car broke down about every two hours, we would just have to pull over, put more fluid in the car, and wait for it to cool down. I thought my brain was going to explode, car troubles are sooooo stressful! We finally got to california 19 1/2 hours later! GAH. We took it to two mechanic and they both assured us that "nothing was wrong", we headed home and an hour later, we had the same problem. Our car broke down multiple times on our way home, but this time it only took us about 15 hours. I was ready to pay someone to take the car away. I thought maybe it would be oaky since we don't drive big distances, but everyday i drove to school it would over heat. We couldn't take the stress anymore, so we sold our car and decided to lease a new car. Wheeeew

Provo








Welcome to happy town! We moved to provo in April, Logan got accepted to go to BYU so we decided to move to provo so he didn't have to commute. My hair school has a school in salt lake and in orem, so I transferred, so that I didn't have to commute either. It was so nice to finally "be on our own"!

Valentines Day








Our first valentines as a married couple, we didn't do too much, but we still had fun spending time together. Logan got me beautiful flowers and I made him a candy sign.

Accidents





Logan was working for a construction company, they were installing a very heavy piece of metal, it fell and cut Logan's arm open. He called me and said hey, so I cut my arm open, i'm okay, but i'm going to the ER and then he had to go. Of course I panicked, not knowing how bad the cut was. I was running an errand and got lost, luckily I found the ER.

Christmas








Christmas is always one of our favorite times of year. We love the spirit of it, the food, the family, the decorations, the giving and gifts. This Christmas was a little crazy, I had just gotten home from Florida from my jaw surgery about 2 weeks before. So, I was still recovering and not feeling the best, at the time we were living at my moms place and i was unable to chew anything because of my jaw surgery. However, we had a great christmas filled with all these magical moments. We also had the honor of meeting on of our lifelong friend, Susan Martin (adam stayed with her family while he was at school in maine). We got to see our family, go to temple square and make fun treats!

Car Accident


I was on my way home from a chiropractor appointment, rehabilitation for my jaw surgery. Luckily I had my “splint” in (a hard plastic retainer type thing that connects on to my braces with elastics and keeps my mouth shut and in place.) I was on I-15 north getting on the south bound (it’s a really messy spot of the freeway), anyways there was traffic, quite a bit of it. I was driving, it was stop and go traffic, the person in front of me stopped so I did too. The girl behind me hit me going about 20mph while I was stopped completely, she hit me so hard that I hit the car in front of me. I was smashed in between two cars. I was really nervous/scared about my jaw. Instantly my neck, back and jaw started hurting. I didn’t want to go get checked out, but I decided with Logan’s help that I should, rather be safe than sorry. They said everything looked okay, but that I should follow up with my jaw doctor and chiropractor. My chiro after about a week took some x-rays (luckily I had some done before the accident so we could compare them.) it was definitely worse, I then followed up with my jaw doctor in florida about 3 weeks later. He took a cat scan, he said that the accident had back tracked me about 3-5 months. I had a ton of back and neck pain for months, it hurt so bad. I ended up having to take a break from school because I would go and start bawling almost everyday after about an hour in pain. i'm so glad that my heavenly father was watching over me and that it wasn't any worse!
