Jake & Em's Wedding!

One of the sister's I served with on my mission, Emilie Foss got married on Wednesday and so Raymond was sweet enough to let me go down to Utah for her wedding.  It was gorgeous! It was such a great trip seeing so many friends and people that I love.  I am truly blessed to have so many amazing people in my life that I look up to in many ways.  Here's the beautiful couple...Mr. & Mrs. Cahoon! :)

At the luncheon with the Poll's, Maile, Em & Sis. Briggs!

At the reception with one of my mission companions, Maile.

With the Geddes' It was so good to see them!

I stayed with my friends Adam & Jessica and this is their little girl, Naomi.  We had some fun talks and she was cracking me up the whole time. Isn't she just the cutest! Thanks for letting me stay with you Jess and Happy Birthday! :) I sure love ya!

Here's my cute brother Ryan with his girlfriend Aimee.  We had lunch before I had to go home and it was so good to see them! I had such a great trip, minus the fact that I missed my exit on the way home and had a two hour detour!  You have to love Wyoming where you can drive for hours and everything looks the same! :) But Love you all!

For real?

Ok Raymond says I'm going on my soap box and I know I am, I'm just in shock at how bad drunk driving is out here. It makes me so sad! I know that it is very serious everywhere, I just never first hand experienced the effects of it. Just in the few months that Raymond & I have lived out here two people, we know personally have been sent to jail for multiple DUI's. Honestly, there are roads out here where we live that people will not drive on because of the amount of deaths/accidents caused from drunk driving(not just on the reservation). Seeing accidents is almost something we've become accustomed to when we go anywhere and usually we find out later that it was caused by drunk driving. I know that we all have our own personal demons and things that we have to work on and I'm not trying to sound like I'm judging but give your keys to a friend! It just breaks my heart to think of how many people have been affected by drunk driving. I know that everyone that will read this doesn't have this problem but I just had to say what was my mind! :)

It's been six months!

I can't believe that we've been married for only six months because so much has changed in our lives! Getting married, moving to Wyoming, especially on a Indian Reservation and now us both teaching.  Its been a wild ride but I love my life with Raymond. He is truly my perfect match and is so patient with me and I'm so grateful for all that he does for us and the sacrifices he's willing to make for me to be happy. I know the rest of this year will be just as good! I love you Raymond!

Our first trip to Wyoming before we got married! I wasn't all that thrilled at this point to be coming here but it has been such a blessing for us!

Our trip to Cali to visit some of my family and of course we had to hit a baseball game! :)

On our Honeymoon/Move to Wyoming in Midway. It was gorgeous there!

Happy Birthday Raymond!

Just wanted to wish my hubby a Happy Birthday! I know that this is late because it was his birthday on Tuesday but I hope he had a great day! I felt bad because we couldn't do much because I just started subbing full time for a Kindergarten class a few weeks ago and I've been SO busy! 16 little munchkins keep you going! I love it though!  We went to Casper last weekend so he could get some good grub :) I also made my first attempt at oreo cheesecake because it's his favorite and all he wanted!  I have to say it turned out pretty good! Love you honey!

Back to Missouri!

My old mission compaion Leigh and I were able to go back to Missouri to see one of the people we taught on our mission, Brian Gash, get sealed in the St. Louis temple! It was such an amazing experience and so fun to go back and see so many people that we love! Thanks so much Leigh for making this trip so great ! :)

The happy couple! Brian & Brittany!














Leigh & I with Brian...








Us with Jacob, Sarah & Benji

Us at the Visitor's Center with
Beautiful Nia!

We had to get a picture in front of our
old mission house!

Anna Sperry & her adorable daughters. One of my favorite families from Liberty!

It was foggy the whole time we were there so you can't really tell but this is at Adam-ondi-Ahman,
there is such a sweet spirit there.







With the Cato's...he was the Bishop in one
of the wards I served in and I just love them!

Sis. Hamilton was so sweet to let us stay with her!We had a lot of fun and late nights talking! :)

As much fun as I had it was good to be back home! My sweet husband told me he wasn't going to be home but then surprised me with flowers and cute little hearts all over the house he had one of his students cut out.  I think he missed me! He already told me I can't leave for a week ever again! :) But it was such a great trip!

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas...

We had such a great Christmas Break! We were definitely in the car  A LOT! Nothing like putting 2,000 miles on a new car, but it was worth it to be able to see our family and friends! We hope you all had a great Christmas and a Happy New Year! :)

Raymond, with his Grandpa Price.  We're so glad we got to see him!

Bellagio...The snowman was made out of carnations, I was amazed at some of the things they made!

The reindeer were made out of pecans!

Raymond & Robert and our cute little nephew Travis! It was so fun to hang out with them!

Heather & Travis!

We went to the St. George temple to do sealings with my family.  It was such a neat experience because we were able to do some of my family on my dad's side! I love the temple!

We stopped at Cove Fort on the way to see Raymond's sister Marinda.  It was FREEZING! But it was fun for us to go since Raymond's ancestors built the fort.  He has his name on the plaque, which he thought was pretty cool! :)

Temple Square!

Raymond & I decided to go to Temple Square before we headed to see family and although it took us an hour to find parking, it was worth it! Next year we're riding Trax!
