Thanksgiving Weekend!

I am so thankful for the opportunity Jared and I had to go down to Utah this weekend and see my family!! We left Rexburg on Thurseday morning around 8 and got to American Fork around 12! It was so fun to have the rest of my moms family meet Jared! The thanksgiving food was amazing! My uncle Drew fried 6 turkeys!! Thats right 6!!!! And he gave Jared the honorary job of carving them all! Oh I am so proud of him! => After playing with the extended fam for thurseday my parents and siblings drove back with us to Rexburg to see where we live and have my dad play in his old stompin grounds => That was so much fun!! I am so grateful that they were able to do that! Here are some pictures from the amazing weekend!! I am so thankful for a wonderful family and a loving husband!

Truck Happenings

So this just in, Jared's truck likes being in body shops => I had just finished posting my last post, then started cleaning the bathroom when my love calls and says that I need to bring the trucks insurance (we had just got it in the mail and had yet to put it in the truck) to his work because a work truck ran into it. I was shocked and amused, we have had this truck for about a week and Jared rarely drives it to work, he did today because I didnt have school. I found the whole situation rather ironic. => When I got to Jared's work, the work truck (an electric boomer or something like that) and his truck were still in the crash positions, but I didnt think I had a camera, but later when I was looking for my cell phone I found a camera. So here are some pics of the truck and the big electric truck. Just a little update on the truck drama =>

Family Home Camping


I just had to tell how cute my husband is! For family night he took me "camping". => We roasted marshmellows and told stories! => Even though it was 18 degrees outside, he made it work => He is so cute!! I LOVE him!!

My Tough Little Man!

So Wednesday night was the playoffs for Jared's basketball team! If they won they would be the best in the school, and get a t-shirt! => So I,of course, went to go support my man and watch him win the game! => I should have known this game was going to be interesting from the beginning. While Jared was warming up an official came up to him and told him he couldnt play unless he shaved his soul-patch. Now, you have to know Jared is an avid facial hair lover, and was pained to shave his beard to play these basketball games, but he has been able to sneak this soul-patch for a month now. And for what a good wife I am, I just laughed. => So Jared misses the first three minutes of the game because he is shaving. When returning he is going full force and loving it. Their team is winning by 10 points throughout the whoel game. In the last 15 minutes of the game Jared steals the ball from a rebound by the opposing team and starts heading towards his side of the court. Well like litterally at half court he collides with a member from the opposite team. The other guy is just knocked backwards, but Jared is like flipped, twisted,trucked, bounced, and flown across the court. Believe me, it was way cool to watch!! => And after all that the foul gets called on Jared, for I dont even know what reason. => and Jared just gets right back up and plays. And me being the good wife I am, I am like cracking up in the stands. I dont think you can picture how cool/funny it was to see this big guy fall so acrobatically. hehehe. Another like five minutes into the game and the ref stops the game and tells Jared to get off the court because he is bleeding. Jared runs over the the score table to get some band-aids (which for some reason they dont have) and I see his arm. From his elbow to the middle of his forearm was just covered in thick blood. It looked way scary, but Jared acted like it was nothing so I was not too worried. => So he ends up having to go to the sports doctor and they say that they can see ligaments and he needs to go to the ER and get stitches right away. This is all during the last half of the game, and Jareds team won!!!! Wooo!!!! => So again after the game, he tells me he needs to go to the ER and get stitches and what do I do..... laugh => Sometimes I wonder why he married me => We go to the ER and I am taking pictures and playing around with the nurse and doing like fake pictures (one witht he q-tip touching the top of the wound then break the q-tip in half and put it in the same place, so it looks like it went in way far =>) and Jared is completely fine and joking around with us. Thedoctor comes is and examines him and explains the situation, so we can decide if Jared is to get stitches or not, and then the doctor starts cleaning Jareds cut. I am right there by the table watching in fascination. The doctor litterally took a medicine saoked q-tip and put it and inch into Jareds elbow!!!! AN INCH!!!! Oh it was crazy to see! => And the whole time Jared never complained or anything. Even when the doctor was shooting the nummer into him (which the doctor said would hurt a heck of a lot) Jared didnt even flinch! I was so impressed!! He is like superman in dealing with pain!! => And because he was such a good boy and help so still at the doctors, I took him to Jamba Juice after => I just thought I would tell you the recent adventure we had => And here are some pics from it. => (wow this is a long post =>) The pics are of Jareds cut after wiping down the gross stuff and after he got all bandadged up! =>

Two Cars!?!?!



I think this is one of the funniest pictures of Jared I have taken => We were in Jerome ID a couple days ago to get his truck (it broke when he was taking me down to Utah last winter break) from the shop. Can I just tell you how much I have learned to dislike automechanics and spending large amounts of money!! This whole ordeal was cRaZy! It even spiked Jareds interest for getting an undergrad degree in automechanics and then going to medical school, just so he never has to pay one again => Well anyways, after all the car drama (and believe me, there was a lot!!!) we went to Jerome to pick the truck up, and on our way back we had to stop for gas. I thought it was a fun picture opportunity, the way the cars were placed, so I told Jared to jump in there. I looked away because of something, I dont remember what, but happened to snap the picture, and when I looked at it Jared was making this face. Oh I laughed so hard!
