Life in Wisconsin...The First 5 Months

 So life started out for us with us living in Wisconsin. Joseph didn't have to be back to school until January, and I had just got accepted into BYU-I to start in January also. I was still working at Old Navy, so we figured we would just stick around in Wisconsin for those first 5 months. Joseph began working with his dad again, so we were both busy working.


Here are just some of the pictures of the apartment that we lived in for that first little bit. It was nice and it suited us.

 For our first Halloween together we decided to carve pumpkins while watching the Halloween classic, Hocus Pocus. I hadn't carved pumpkins for the longest time. It was so much fun to do!!! Joseph's was the tall one that was more scary than my short goofy one. We kept them in the apartment until they started to look really old and wrinkled. We will definatly be doing that fun family activity again.


We also decided to try our hand at tie dye. We each did three t-shirts. I don't have any pictures of the finished product, but I think they turned out ok. We had fun with it.

Whenever I had any free time, I would bake all kinds of sweets. One of Joseph's and my favorite treat were homeade pecan cinnamon rolls with a carmel glaze. I would make them all the time and then eat them for breakfast, with lunch, and then again after dinner. They were lip smacking good!!!



Over all life during those first 5 months were great! We had a lot of fun times and some great moments that helped us grow closer together.

Together Forever...Finally!!!!!

I figured that I would start this blog off with a post about Jospeh and I. We meet in an accounting class at the Univeristy of Wisconsin - Marathon County. We then phone dated for 7 long months while Joseph was away at BYU-I and I was still in Wisconsin.
He came home between semesters and asked me to marry him and spend the rest of the eternities with him...of course I said YES!!!!
We then were happily married for time and all eternity on July 31, 2010 in the St. Paul, Minnesota temple. It was a beautiful summer day with lots of sunshine and lots of heat. It was great to have our family and some close friends there supporting and celebrating with us. It was simply one of the best days of my life!!!!

Here are  all of our          siblings! All of my wonderful sisters: Christi (my older brother's wife), Faith, Angel (Joseph's older brother's wife), Anna, and then little Alexa (John and Angel's little one). I love my gals!!! And then there is the brothers...you would think they didn't like kissing or something!!! There's Zach, Roland, John, Samuel, and Jed. We missed David who was on his mission in Argentina when we got married. We wish he could have been with us to make the family complete.



These are just a few of my favorite pictures. I loved my dress...it was the perfect fairy tale dress that I had always dreamed of!!! And then my wonderful prince was just perfect right next to me!!!
This is the whole family (well minus David)!!!! We love you all and are so glad you were all there for us. My Grandma Fuller even came up from Utah for the wedding. It was a grand ole time!!


My wonderful own fairy tale adventure has begun and I am so excited for the wonderful ride!!!! Here's to eternity with the ones that I love!!!!
