3 Years

Yesterday we celebrated our 3 year anniversary! Its gone by way too fast! I Love Bear very much and Iam so grateful for all that he does for me!!


This was taken right after we walked down the aisle and said "I Do" I have to say that was a pretty intense day. As we were standing up at the alter Bear kept telling me to Breathe! And everyone afterwards was telling me that it looked like I was about to faint...Not the look I was going for that day :)

After we were married for about 8 months we got Toby!! At first I almost didn't pick Toby but I am very glad I did! He is the cutest dog right:)

And then October 2006 we were sealed for Time and all Eternity!

Our first Christmas card!

And here we are in 2008!

It sure has been a fun and some what eventful adventure so far....Our next step in our adventure is to add some little *kiddos to the picture! Happy Anniversary babe! Love you....

*The doc put me back on clomid but this time its the 100mg instead of the 50mg so hopefully this will work better.....but if it doesn't work this month then its off to the specialists.....

And here are the gifts that we exchanged:

I made this shadow box picture frame

and Bear got me this pic of the Arizona Temple that I have been wanting!

1 test down....2 more to go

A couple of weeks a go Bear when and took the test for the Tempe Firefighting and it was a test with 128 questions and you have to get at least 101 or better and he did! Iam so proud of him! Since he passed this he will go in April to an overview of the Cpat(?) and see if he got through to that and then if he gets accepted to that and passes the Cpat(?) its onto the Oral boards! I really hope that he gets far with this! He is working so hard with work and going to school 3 times a week and having to take care of us! Good Luck Babe!

Mini Road Trip

Me &Bear took a mini road trip. We left Thursday to Missouri to go and see my sister. Thursday was not the best plane trip I have ever had. On our first plane going to Utah we had really bad turbulence and my stomach did not like that AT ALL! It was the worst. At times it felt like the plane was falling and that really freaked me out. Right at that moment I was warning Bear that he needed to find me something quick because something was going to happen. I was so glad that we brought our own plastic bags because the plane did not have any of those bags for people that get sick. And we still had to go on one more plane because we had a layover and I was not looking forward to the ride at all because I didn't want to get sick again...And luckily on that the last flight I didn't get sick at all. So I was happy about that. I don't think I want to be taking any trips that require going on a plane for a while, I would rather drive.

We finally made it to Missouri at about 6pm and headed to my sisters house. And then we left at about 8:30 and made our way back to Arizona. She is visiting for a LONG time so we drove her car back. It took us about 25 hours to drive back. We stopped in Colorado to sleep for a few hours and look around the beautiful state. We drove through Colorado because that is the one place where we would love to move to if we were able to move out of Arizona. Its so pretty there and it was snowing like crazy. We visited some sites there and then drove the rest of the way to Arizona. Although we had to drive for 25 hours it was a really fun road trip and Iam happy that my sister is here :)

Us at the mall.....We had to make at least one stop:)

Isn't Colorado Beautiful!

Garden of the Gods

For Sale

As most of you know, our house has been for sale, and then not for sale, and then for sale, etc. But now Bear REALLY wants to move so this is for real....I figured that since there are alot of people that blog surf that this could maybe be a way to advertise our home :) And if any of you know anyone that is wanting to move send them our way! Here are some pics of our home:

Bear has worked VERY hard on all the projects he has accomplished here and has A LOT of hours into it all!

* There is now water in the pond, it has the waterfall, and he even put in a little bench in the "pond" so we could sit in it and sip our water and Dr. Pepper :)

My boys

Toby never lays like this so I had to capture it before he got up! It was the cutest thing! I can only imagine what its going to be like when we have little babies and we can "cuddle" them like this.....I can't wait! (No such luck yet)
