Catch Up #2

Graduation!!!
We both graduated from BYU-Idaho!! Both of our parents and Terry’s sister Nicole and her husband Jordan came up for graduation and killed two birds with one stone by helping us move too. Our family is amazing I swear I turned my back for a second and my house was empty! Thanks everyone for coming and sharing our special day with us and helping us out so much! Like most other schools BYU-I just gives you a diploma holder and then mails you your diploma later. But BYU-I doesn’t really do their degree audit process until after the ceremony and everything so it’s just a waiting game to see if you get an email that confirms your degree or lets you know of any deficiencies. I’m happy to say that we both got good emails and are OFFICIALLY graduated!! Maybe forever for me but my sweetie only has 3 weeks until he starts grad school :(
The BIG Move
With graduation came our not so big move to Pocatello. It felt big with all of our stuff but really is only a hop away from Rexburg. But the difference couldn’t be bigger! I think it might be a little of culture shock for me and Rexburg has sheltered us for too long! I can’t stop my jaw from dropping or my head from turning when I see some people ha! It’s back to the real world for us! We moved into a really nice apartment that I have lovingly nicknamed the Jungle. Our carpet is green, the linoleum is green, the stove is green and the bathroom counter and floor are green. But it’s a great place and it’s the people that make the home not the place! Bye-Bye Andrews Place Hello Eastridge Dr!
Welcome to the Jungle :)

Way Overdue Catch Up Time

Washington Bound
A few months ago we got to hop in the car with my parents and Carson and head to Walla Walla Washington to see my little sister Jill graduate. I am so proud of this beautiful little lady who is so independent and full of fire! Next step for her is Dental Hygiene school at CSI-so glad she will be closer to home!

Just a cute picture of Cars-love this little guy! The amazing house J stayed in for her last little bit in Walla Walla-lucky girl!

The Heward house
Our friends Adam and Tori have the cutest house in Rigby that is the perfect place for everyone to get together. This is a picture of me, Kash and Tori. These girls are great! I know I’ve said it before but I am so thankful that Terry has a great group of friends and that of the wives get along so well!

Family Camping trip to Soda
We got to have a little mini-reunion with Terry’s parents and siblings at a cabin in Soda and played at Lava and had so much fun! Thanks for such a great weekend Mom and Dad Darrington!

This is pretty close to perfect for me!

Annual Fourth of July in Raft River
We made the trip down for the 4th of July party and loved every minute of it! I love this tradition and the people we get to see every year-can’t wait for next year!

Macey's Blessing

We got to go home for Macey's blessing and I'm so glad we did! Zach gave her an amazing blessing. This picture is when they were trying to do a quick family pic after the blessing. Carson is the funniest little kid ever. This is the best smile anyone could get out of him even with a ton of bribing! I absolutely love this little family and feel very blessed to have such a wonderful older sister to look up to and be a great example of what a mom should be-I love you!!

Happy Birthday Honey!

Today is my hubby's birthday-the big 25! I really am the luckiest girl to have him for forever. You mean everything to me sweetie and I couldn't ask for a better husband and best friend-I hope your day was awesome! Here's 25 things I love about my boy:

4. his bum :)
5. he's a snuggler
6. He has the biggest heart and is always helping others
7. His testimony-he is my rock when I would rather just fall asleep he helps us to say our prayers and read the scriptures. He loves the gospel and I am so thankful to have the priesthood in our home.
8. He thinks I'm a good cook, I've tricked him pretty good
9. His big muscles
10. Love his family and how close he is to them-also that he loves my family were a crazy bunch and I love that he just joins right in

20. He knows I have a really bad problem with staring so he'll catch me and lead me away-probably cause he's embarassed :)
21. He is genuinely a good person and helps me to be better
22. I love that we can talk about anything-most nights we talk for awhile in bed and I love just hanging out with him and relaxing
23. He's just as addicted to Bones as I am

25. I love the way he loves me. Sometimes I think I can be a hard person to love but he's got it down. I can't imagine spending forever with anyone else. Thanks for loving me sweetie!
Happy Birthday!

We have the CUTEST nieces and nephews EVER!!

The 10 months that we have been married have been very busy for us! Terry went from 0 nieces and nephews to 5! We are pretty lucky to live close enough to see them pretty often but wish we could be with them all the time! I also feel very lucky to have such good examples of moms from my sister and sister-in-laws-you mamas are all amazing!!! So in order here are the little cuties:

Carson-almost 3-he is the funniest little boy! This is a slide out of grandpa's paco pad on the stairs in his Buzz lightyear jammies-love this boy!

This is little miss Kendal Darrington (Casey and Marianne's little girl)-6 months-we love when we get to see this pretty little girl. She is always giggling and has uncle Terry (and everyone else in the family) wrapped around her fingers!Introducing David Darrington (Brett and Vanessa's little guy)-around 4 months-This is the strongest baby you will ever meet! He has already rolled over and holds his head up so good! He is one serioulsy cute little boy!

Here is Mackie Jo Haney (Ry and Kaci's gorgeous girl)-little over a month old-isn't she beautiful?!Last but definitely not least..Macey Kristine Jacobson-she was born on May 10th. We haven't met her yet and can't wait to! I think she looks like Minnie Mouse right here with her dark hair and red bow :) From what I hear she is the sweetest baby ever.

As you can see our families make some pretty cute babies! We are so lucky to have these special little ones in our life! We love you all so much!

GREAT News!

We have some very exciting news...Terry passed the MAT so we are now officially on our way to ISU after we graduate in July where he will be in their Occupational Therapy program. I am so proud of him and how hard he worked to pass. You are going to be the best OT ever honey! P.S. also very happy not to have a paper monster who leaves paper turds (notecards) all around my house anymore!
