Finally an update!!

Two years and lots of experiences later I am updating my blog. I have great intentions of updating it and hopefully now I will be better but I make no promises. So here is a review of the last two years. I can’t believe it has been over two years since Jon and I got married. It seems like just yesterday we got married but then it seems like we have been together forever. I’ve gathered some pictures of things that have gone on over the last two years- random pictures not a complete history of our last two years together.

These are pictures from our apartment when we first got married. It was a great place and we loved living there.



These next pictures are from our "second" honeymoon. We couldn't go anywhere too far when we got married so six months later we went on a little more exotic honeymoon to Africa nd England...with Jon's dad and my parents. Haha! It's true! So I guess it wasn't a real honeymoon but it was still a fun trip to take just after we got married.

Swaziland
These cute ladies are the ones who gave me my Swazi name: Lungili

Picture of Jon's dad, Jon & me, and my parents in Kruger park in South Africa:
This was one of the coolest things we saw. On our night drive through Kruger Park we came upon some lionesses and their kill. It was so surreal!!
After Africa we went to England, here is Jon and me in front of the Prince Albert Hall:
Here we are at the baths in Bath:
Iconic telephone booths in London:
Jon and his dad at Stonehenge:
My dad and Jon & me in front of St. Paul's cathedral:
That summer we bought a house!

Ok check out this bathroom...awesome color scheme- wallpaper and carpet!!
This is in the basement. That is carpet on the wall...and that red carpet on the floor goes up on the opposite wall.
Also that summer we went on a Williams family trip to Bear Lake. It was fun but almost everyone got the stomach flu! Hopefully we can try that again some other time and no one will get sick.
Jon and I went with my parents to the Rodeo. My husband was so cute dressed up like a cowboy- he did it to humor his wife.
Later that year...HP 6!! We made shirts and everything!

Making Halloween sugar cookies with my niece.
Here are just some random pictures of Jon and me over the past 2 years.






This is a temple trip we took with some of Jon's family before Jon's parents left to serve as Temple President and Matron at the Recife Temple in Brazil.
Jon surprised me at Christmas with tickets to go to Brian Reagan. We took Jon's brother and sister-in-law.

We were able to take a trip last June to Oregon for Jon's brother's graduation. One of the days we were there my sister-in-law Karen took me and Jon's sister Violet to a tea house for a little tea party. It was so much fun!! They have hundreds of teas to choose from and you choose your own tea cup. They also have fun hats around the place that you can try on and wear while you are there.

Last summer we also got a puppy. She is a black lab and her name is Mollie.

Jon and I took a little trip to Zions Canyon for a conference I attended. We hiked around and had a great time.

This is Valentine's day of this year. It was my turn to plan it and we had a candlelight dinner.
That is my 2 year review/update. It is a very long post but I have been told that I never post anything and so I am trying to be better. Starting with this super long post.
