Jake and I were married and sealed together for Time and All Eternity September 1, 2012 at 11:15am in the Mesa Arizona Temple. We will not have a home for the next 10 months, and we do not know where we will end up after we finish our last year of Podiatric Medical School. We are Wonderers, in our own way, but we love each other very much, and have been blessed with the only thing that matters and the one thing know one can take away from us...Each other. As we embark on a new Journey together Jake and I want to document and share with others our exciting new life. This is our story as it unfolds...

Utah basement home!

Home Sweet Home


Our cute little basement apartment! 
My parents came to visit for a few days and we made them french toast!
Little mini blizzard during church! a lot of people left after sacrament to go home because of the snow!


I found a huge spider in the shower that almost gave me a heart attack! it was about the size of a quarter! 
I decided to go brown!! jake did a great job helping me out 





Mikayla Pack our bestie from the singles ward was headed off to her mission! we bought her lunch before she went to the MTC. good luck mikayla!! 



The first day it started to snow I decided to take our new camera out to get some pictures the the park by our house!
















J-dawgs is the best hot dog you will ever have in your whole life! the home made buns and the sweet j-dawgs sauce they put on it! mmmmm so yummy we bumped into Raegan's sister here too. we had a really cute picture of us together and the sign in the background and i felt so bad when i accidentally erased it! i was so up set it was a really cute one! 

Jake and I visited the BYU campus we went to all of his famous "study spots" and we went to the tallest building and played penny golf, you drop a penny down between the stair case and see how far it goes till it hits the rail who ever gets down first wins. I lost my penny first then i used jakes to win ;) he might tell a different story but thats what im sticking to. we also went to the BYU bookstore and got some yummy Fudge and chocolate milk mmmmm yummy!


BOO! for halloween jake was pretty tired from a long day at work so i decided to take care of my patent. we watched a movie outside while we passed out candy it was pretty chilly. the day before we went to michael and brittany allred's wards trunk or treat and we had dinner with them. it is really nice to have friends we can visit!





For Thanksgiving i had planned to cook a little meal for jake and i but at the last minute we went with michael and brittany to her parents house for a really nice thanksgiving dinner! we took a picture with our thanksgiving decorations we had put up 

The next day I made our thanksgiving dinner it doesnt look as good in the picture but for my first thanksgiving cooking it was pretty tasty! ( that brown thing is turkey with gravy)

Black Friday!!!! we got in like to get this 40 inch TV at around four and we didnt get done until ten ...thats not to bad for black friday we stood by some pretty nice people and we also got all of the harry potter movies and the lord of the rings movies for really cheap! yay!
Jake found an argentine store by our house and he fell in love we had a great walk through memory lane! i could barley pull him out of the doors! 

Speaking of memory lane we found this on jakes white board the other day its my name and my number from the first time he called me to ask me out on a date ! priceless!


LA's dollar book store

We found this little place called piccolos book store where everything in the store was only a dollar.... yes everything! (they had a million signs up that said that) so we got all of these books plus like six more that are not in this picture for  under 15 bucks! I loved that little store we had lots of date nights there and at the movie theater next door.


Jakey was on the phone setting up our basement apartment in utah! we got so lucky to get a place with only a week until we got there. we cut it pretty close but thats the life of a busy med student. I drove jake bonkers trying to get him to make that call haha!

I drove jake to the VA hospital everyday even with the crazy traffic we spent a lot of time in the car! 




I locked jake out of the car, but who can resist that face!




For a date night we went to the LA Fashion District, we didn't end up getting anything but it was fun seeing the little mexico right down the street!



Jacob was so good to me, he brought me flowers all the time! he is such a sweetheart!

One night some one burned a pizza on the first floor and the fire alarm when off  for an hour! it felt like forever so we put a towel over it to block out the sound! 
Our walmart in LA was not only inside a mall but it was 3 stories high and it had cart lifts on it! it was so weird to shop there ..it was cool but it was the worst kept walmart it looked like it was black friday. I think it was because it was 3 levels if people decided they didnt want something that was from the first floor they would just stuff it on the shelf of the third floor! crazy ... anyway we had a good time there it was fun

This is our beta fish we bought his name is Pox because he looks like he has chicken pox on his face but we call him Paco for short he is a good little fishie I already killed him once and he came back to life..he is a miracle fish... i think he has 3 lives lets hope i don't use the other 2 
Our First dinner in our "home"  if you count  hotel as a home ;)

Jake was so exhausted on day he came home and crashed and fell asleep at like 5 in the afternoon and didnt wake up till the next day poor baby!

LA Santa Monica pier

Finally someone offered to help us

Yummy chicken joint

We went to Dinah's chicken which was right next to our hotel and it's a pretty famous place. there chicken was pretty yummy and it was a fun date night with jakey

Im Waiting for Jacob to be done studying so we can go exploring around by the beach!
