Guess Who Turns 26 Today?

My love! Thomas turned 26 whole years old today. Happy Birthday to the sweetest, most loving husband ever! In honor of his special day, I am going to give him a big shout-out.

What I love about Thomas:

I love his kind heart
I love that he loves to pester me
I love that he loves it when I'm grumpy, tired or flustered
I love that he's always willing to help out
I love that he's my absolute dream-boat
I love that he is able to talk to anyone
I love that he is able to talk to customer service peeps who end up giving us free stuff (by flirting? maybe)
I love that he has become such a wonderful husband to me

I love that deciding to marry him has been the best decision I've ever made

Happy Birthday, my love!

Now, on to some fun stuff about Tom, all relating to 26, of course:

It takes Tom roughly 26 seconds to fall asleep on the couch, 26 seconds to shave his stubble (or lack thereof) and 26 seconds to make me laugh (okay, maybe less)

He could eat 26 cookies in one sitting and could probably eat my chicken enchiladas for 26 days straight (thank goodness)

He listens to 26 Foo Fighter's songs in a row when on road trips...he then listens to me sing to 26 of my songs (mercifully)

He drives 26 mph solely in Rexburg

He has loved his parents for 26 years, and they have loved him back

Lucky for me, he deserves 26 kisses today!

Happy Father's Day!

I want to give a shout-out to my Dad and Father-in-law, for a late Father's Day post.

My Dad has always been there for me,
always cared for me,
always taught me,
and always loved me.

I love you more than words can express Dad! Happy be-lated Father's Day.

Also, my new Dad, my Father-in-law Thomas (the first). He has been such an amazing Father-in-law and has been so supportive and sweet to me ever since I first met him. In fact, before Tom (Jr.) and I were even engaged, Tom sent a picture of me to his parents and his Dad said 'he's going to marry her.'

Thank you both for all the love and support you've given, and continue to give, Tom and I. We love you both very much!

Last Semester

Right now, Thomas and I are in our very last semesters of school. We will both graduate July 22, 2011! I, for one, cannot wait! However, we're not quite sure what we're doing after said graduation...decision time. Anybody know of any good jobs?

Anyway, Tom has been making fun of me because I haven't blogged in a long, long time. Oddly, any time I do actually blog, he gets all sad that I'm not paying attention to him or cuddling him. Make up your mind, boy. Haha. So, here it is- a shiny, fresh new blog post.

Let's start with the bad news.

Our little dog Titan passed away Tuesday, May 31st. He lived at my parent's house, even though he is technically mine and Tom's dog. He was out jogging with my Dad and tried to sprint (disobediently) across the street towards another jogger when he was hit by a car. My parents took him to an emergency vet where they discovered he had really bad internal injuries. They had to put him to sleep. Fortunately, my Mom and Ashley were there to hold him while they did it. It's been a sad week, but I know he was very happy when he was alive. I will miss my cute, sweet, fuzzy little dog Titan.

On now to a happier subject. Tom and I are doing well and we are both so excited to graduate! Tom is busier than ever; he is taking a full course load, working 20+ hours a week, and playing on a basketball team. I, on the other hand, am just in school with a full course load. I am taking almost all cluster (two mini-minors instead of one minor) classes. The only class I'm taking this semester that is even in my major isn't required for my graduation at all. It's a photography/photoshop class called digital imaging. This class is by far my favorite class this semester, purely because it's something I'm interested in and have never really done before. I'm learning a lot about photography and editing images in photoshop. We also went on a field trip to Bannack, Montana, which is an old ghost town. The trip was fun, and I got some good pictures. Here are some pictures from my class; there pictures from my trip, around Rexburg and portraits of my sweet sister Ashley and my beautiful Mother. Enjoy!
