6 Month Anniversary

Wooohooo! It is our six month anniversary! Major milestone right? lol Well to celebrate we went and got ourselves some fish! This is Lloyd and Harry.....



We really felt like we needed something living in the apartment besides us. No kids yet...and a dog? Too expensive and too small of an apartment (although there are some dang cute puppies at the puppy store at the mall. Oh man. So we thought...a fish! Then we saw the containers that let us keep 2 betta fish in the same tank, and so we got that one. It turns out they really do not like each other. Good thing there is a divider in the middle!

Well school is going good, I have 5 more tests before Christmas, so that definitely will keep me busy, but it is very enjoyable. We have dissected quite a bit on our cadavers...everything but the lower leg and the head and neck, all of which we also do before Christmas, so I am really looking forward to that.

Caity is working as a school sub and was not sick this weekend! She is also getting really good at crochet-ing and is making some cool stuff. She is pretty good!

We have gotten to know a couple of other couples (that do not have kids) in the ward the last few weeks and so that is really fun. We have been playing games and watching movies with them. We watched the Others for Halloween...that was suspenseful. Good movie though!

We also have decorated for Christmas (tree, garland in the window, and even a little tree that plugs into the USB of my computer for my desk to look festive)...we will have to take some pics soon to show y'all. And we have been listening to Christmas music, unfortunately our taste in Christmas music does not always agree...although Caity is warming up to the George Strait Christmas CD and I am starting to get used to some Mariah Carey, as well as the Killers...(Don't Shoot Me Santa?-kind of a funny song after all :)

Renaissance Festival

Flowers from Reece...he is the best:)

We went to the renaissance festival this past weekend with Rachel while she was here visiting! It was a lot bigger deal than we thought it would be. They had a whole village built and everyone was dressed up and way into it...maybe a little too much lol.

This was Reeces costume...jk

Cool mask store

Thanks Rachel for being with Reece and I so we can have pictures together!

Date Night

This weekend we finally got over being sick and went out for some fun! We went to the driving range to perfect our swing!

Reece got some new golf clubs so I am having fun trying to teach him...im no pro but I try:)




Well, we are still alive, still having fun here in Texas. Caity is working as a substitute and we are glad that she has a job and she is so amazing at it. And the kids don't listen she says. And she made a kid pee her pants in class....long story. I am doing good in school, loving it and studying way more than I ever have in my life...lets see I studied for 9 hours today....on a Saturday! Ahhh! Anyways, I am currently learning about the abdomen and all of its glory...intestines, liver, gall bladder, etc etc etc. Also about tons of other stuff, but the anatomy is probably the most fun to tell other people about.

One Great Year

Well it is official. I have just had the best year of my life so far. Why? Because one year ago today Caity and I met! :)

It was at a ward prayer and I was about ready to go back to my apartment when her roommate brought her up to me and introduced me to her! I was immediately impressed by how beautiful she was. We were able to talk lots and hang out alot that night, and well now we are married and living in Texas! Woohoo!

It really has been the best year ever.....



This is one of earliest pictures we have of us together. We went to the shooting range in Provo and did a little skeet shooting. Caity is really good and hit several!



Caity was able to come up to Washington for a week or so after Christmas, and I was so excited to see her that I almost proposed to her the first night she got there...instead I just mentioned the idea of us getting married. She seemed to like it.



We think so much alike that we got each other almost the exact same present for valentines day!



This is one of our engagement photos...didn't I find the prettiest girl ever!? I am so lucky!




Here we are on our wedding day...the best day of the best year!




And finally here we are in Texas. We have moved around a lot the past little while, but we are loving it! Best year EVER!!! So happy one-year-since-we-met anniversary! Wooohoooo!

Houston!

This weekend we went to the Galleria mall in Houston. It is the biggest mall we have ever seen! The mall had an ice skating rink in the middle of it and every store you can think of. There was a really fun candy store that we loved but the mall cop on his segway stopped me from taking any pictures! Reece's favorite store was the Lego store of course. Too bad they didn't have this store when he was a kid! It took us five hours just to walk around the mall without even doing a lot of shopping, but we loved it! Outside of the mall the is an place called the Water Wall. It was definitely worth seeing and also cooled us off! After we stopped at a mediocre antique mall and some more shopping at the outlet mall. Reece got some coins and I got some super cute shoes!

The only thing they let you take a picture of in the candy store...the least coolest thing in the store.

We thought this was funny

Of course I loved the antique Barbies

Our Apartment!

Our moving truck finally moved and we have our stuff!!! No more air mattress and camp chairs. It took us a lot longer than we thought to unpack and organize but luckily we found a spot for everything in our tiny apartment. There will be more decorating improvements in the future but for now we are happy with what we have:) Thanks Aunt Janet for the chairs we love them. Thanks Grandma and Grandpa Weed for the cabinet, it helped us so much for extra storage and actually gave us a drawer for our silverware! Thanks mom for all the extra furniture and especially the dresser...we were worried it wouldn't fit in our room..our bed barely fits in our room! Thanks Krystal for the couches...the movers say thanks too..they were a light lift. Thanks Katrina for the great quilt, it adds a lot of color to the room:) Oh and thanks everyone for all the wedding presents we have everything we need for our first little apartment!

Week One in Texas

So basically Reece and I are enjoying College Station a lot! We still do not have our stuff yet from the moving truck but we are having fun camping out in our apartment. We have camping chairs to watch TV and an air mattress...not bad at all! Saturday we got to go to the white coat ceremony where Reece got his snazzy med school coat. We thought we had charged the camera before we left but right as Reece got on stage I took a picture and then it died!!! But at least a got one good one of Reece getting his jacket. After, we celebrated at our new favorite restaurant so far called On the Border...yummy Mexican food! We had heard that the George Bush library at A&M was cool so we checked it out later that day. It was really fun...and long! Our favorite part was the presidential limo. We have noticed that Texas loves George Bush. They have a lot of things named after him. We have also noticed they have a lot of Sonics and Diet Dr Pepper in every restaurant! I think we will adjust just fine:)
