One Year Today!

One year today I married my best friend and I can't believe that its already been that long. It seems like just yesterday we were down in Vegas enjoying my crazy family.... But here we are here in Washington and what an awesome ride it has been!

From trips to the Grand canyon to our first Christmas tree and my crazy family Christmas together it has been a non stop adventure getting to know each other more and more everyday. I am so lucky to have someone who I am excited to wake up to every day!

I am so thankful for Paul and all he does for me every day! He got me the most beautiful dog to keep me happy and train me for a baby! haha!

I would be lost without him I had no idea how empty my life until I found my man. He is so sweet, he knows how to make me smile and I can't wait to continue to have crazy awesome loving adventures with the man of my dreams! Happy anniversary lover can't wait till we have 100 more!

New Kid in School

SOOOO I officially graduated from training and start working in the Tacoma Branch tomorrow! OMG I am just a little nervous to be starting at the new branch with the new people when I just finally became used to the branch in Redmond! I knew where everything was and I knew everyone! BAHHH so starting there is just making my stomach a little quezzy! Paul and I had a nice weekend, Friday night we were able to go out for dinner at the Olive Garden with Paul's cousin Mike and his wife Emily! It is sooo nice to finally have someone my age to hang around with! I think i finally have a friend! After our late night dinner we played some rock band which I have become terrible at because we have not played since Christmas! And then some SouthPark which I am still not a huge fan of but I did laugh a little I will give Paul, Mike and Emily that! Saturday was a fun day Mike and Emily found an apartment in down town Tacoma so we were helping them move in, of course Paul and I are alone on our side of the port again! Oh well maybe we will just have to find a house over there so we can be close to everyone! That would be ideal! Anyways after we saw their cute apartment which was built in like the 40's it had a cute vintage feel, we went over to SONIC!!! ohh sooo good I haven't had it since Las Vegas and it was more delicious then I remember! Rob and Ali helped in the move, so after dinner us ladies got together and went off to the cutest little home decor shops! They have the best ones in Tacoma! It was so fun we also hit up a cute little art deco shop and I got my creative on! And this is what I made do you love it?

Ah Cycle Family

I know dad I know its been forever!! I was waiting for something truly exciting to write about because I was even tired of reading about me haha! Anyways it has been a pretty eventful two weeks! Last week Paul and I went camping with the family and it was pretty awesome. I mean dang cold semi uncomfortable, and incredibly sleepless but still a lot of fun. We got to go with some of our favorite cousins. Rob and Ali and their two kids, Laura and Gunnar and their two kids, and Molly and Stefan and their two kids haha soo of course Paul and I had to bring out baby! Dexter had a great time, he frolicked in the meadow and got terrorized by birds that were flying into his food dish and stealing his food. Although we weren't allowed to have a fire at night we were still able to have a nice time chatting. Sleeping wasn't to bad Paul thankful had two sleeping bags thankful and in the middle of the night Dexter climbed into my sleeping bag and I finally was a little warm and so was he! We made it through the night and the morning was soo beautiful. We hung around our campsite for most of the morning enjoying the sun and hanging out which was so much fun to get together again. The husbands all rode down the Schinook Pass while all the women went on a nature hike to Mud Mountain Dam which was really nice and a lot of fun. Later that night Paul and I went to Rob and Ali's so the boys could do their fantasy football draft and I got some much needed shopping for some new bank clothes with Ali. Well the real kicked about this week was Paul and I were able to finally get me my road bike! After saving for what seems like forever we were able to pick up my sweet powder blue and sliver 2011 Avail Advance Giant Road Bike with 105 parts! OOHHHH SOOO SEXY! Let me tell you I am so excited to be able to start riding with Paul! We have officially be come a cycle family! We were planning on getting my bike off line because we found a really nice Avail online for basically the same price, but Paul said we needed to go to a shop to see what size bike I needed. So we were on our way home from the Seattle Premiere Outlets were we were able to go shopping, I did some damage at Banana Republic but all in the name of needing new clothes for Qualstar! That place was insanely full of people it was almost claustrophobic! But we had a great time....anyway so we were on the way home and Paul told me to look up shops on the way home, so I picked Tacoma Bike and called. Well some English guy answered the phone and I told him I was planning on buying a bike off line and just needed to know what size we should be looking at and what not, well he went on the rampage of how I needed to be custom fit to a bike and how much better it is and that it comes with the bike if you go through the shop and it was like 150 bucks to do it otherwise. CRAZY I know! So since it was on the way home I told Paul we might as well go and check it out! Well this bike shop was amazing it was huge and it was full of awesome stuff! Anyways the English guy who ended up being named Tony gave me a full run down and found me the best possible bike ever for a girl who is just starting out. Then went to the shoes and this was nice because I didn't buy any shoes while we were shopping earlier. And I had no idea that bike shoes are SOOO expensive, but Tony worked his magic and found last seasons best Sidi shoes in the back in my size that they were just going to put on EBAY! 350 dollar shoes and we got them for 150! BONUS! Then once we picked out my bike I had it CUSTOM FIT TO ME! :) Can you believe it, it took an hour in a half but my bike is perfectly fit to me, and it fits like a dream! I am one happy girl! I can't wait till Paul and I are able to go on our first ride together! We are a cycling family!
