So my last post was us still living in Albuquerque, NM. Well at the end of August I left NM for good and went back to Utah with my 2 dogs and stayed with my mom and sis for a few weeks while Jay stayed and finished out the summer. While I was at home in Utah my Best Friend of 15 years, Kendra Gille (now Kendra Fromm) got MARRIED! Im so happy for them! Im telling you it was the most beautiful wedding i've been to! She had it outside in our neighbors beautiful backyard. I cant explain how beautiful it was in words so i'll just show you in pictures!
I packed up all my clothes and moved to Arizona the beginning of Sept. Jay had been there for a few days working and trying to find us a place to live. We found a cute 2 bedroom 2 bath condo in Mesa. Its the perfect area to live in. There is literally every store and food place I could ever want within a 10 min drive. I love it! The only problem is.... we didn't have one piece of furniture to go in it. We bought an air mattress to sleep on and had 2 t.v.'s and that was it! All of our furniture was still in Utah and we were going to go get it in 3 weeks. It felt like we were homeless except we had a roof over our head haha. Pretty ghetto. But it actually was really fun and humbling and a funny experience we can look back at years down the road. Here is what our life was like for about a month...
The end of every summer Jay's work does a company cruise. So we got to go cruisin around Mexico! It was such a blast!! We spent 2 days in Cabo San Lucas, and 1 day in Puerto Vallarta. Cabo was our favorite by far! It was so clean and we felt safe there. We did a lot of snorkeling and playing in the warm ocean, a lot of walking around the shops and eating authentic mexican food. Once we got to Puerto Vallarta the weather was soooo hot and humid and the only thing to do was to pay money for an excursion so we got off the boat and then right back on haha. We spent that day in the pool and just relaxing on the boat. We got to know more of the people that work for Now Communications and became good friends with a lot of them. We had such a blast! And we also got to celebrate our 6 month anniversary while in Mexico so that was cool! We had taken a cruise for our honeymoon too, so I think we should keep it a tradition and go on a cruise to celebrate every 6 months of our marriage ;)
Right after our cruise we headed to Utah for about a week. I stayed and hung out with family and friends while Jay, his brother, and 2 friends went on a fishing trip to Oregon. I got to go to a movie with my dad (we saw Real Steel and it was actually a really great show), I got to babysit my nieces and nephew, have a good family dinner at my brothers house, go to lunch with Atty Adams and her handsome boy Easton, and packed up as much of our furniture and stuff as I possibly could fit in a small trailer. It feels so nice to Finally have a couch and table and a dresser and a place that actually looks like a home :).
Halloween just came and gone and this year it was more of a simple laid back year. Im sad we weren't in Utah to see all our nieces and nephews costumes and to go trick or treating with them. We had plans to go to our friend's house for a Halloween party but the day before Jay and our friend both got the flu and were to sick to leave the house. So instead it was just a night for me and the hubby to spend time together. I was getting a little bored while he played xbox so I decided to get creative and build us a fort. He thinks i'm the weirdest person but I think I just have a good imagination haha. It wasn't the coolest looking fort but it was pretty fun to just sit in our 80's workout costumes (which were really comfy, Jay even kept his tights on the whole night lol) eating Halloween candy and watching movies. Well... that was our night, I know, pretty sad and boring but hey we enjoyed it!
Thats pretty much everything thats been going on. We have been having a good time living in Arizona and we are definitely enjoying the 100 degree weather. Its starting to cool down though and it is absolutely perfect! Somewhere between mid 70s and 80s just getting chilly enough to start wearing boots and sweaters! My favorite! And NO SNOW makes it 100 times better! HAVE A FABULOUS DAY!
